Li Yin understands the meaning of Concubine Yang, but he was born in the emperor's family. Even if he evades some things, disasters will come to him. Fate is fickle. He can only use sufficient preparations to deal with unknown dangers.

  The construction of the main body of the underground pipeline is basically over, and there are only sporadic projects left. Kong Chi and Wang Shen can handle it, so Li Yin has become a full-time idler again.

  One day Li Yin was studying the history of the Tang Dynasty. Gao Zhangfang and Jin Daqian walked in with smiles on their faces. Li Yin said, "Why are you so happy about it!"

  The high accountant said: "The old slave has to congratulate Your Highness, the cellars in this palace are not enough, I'm afraid we have to dig another one.

   "Isn't the cellar of the Wangfu very big? If you put something in it, it won't be enough?" Li Yin still has some memories of the size of the cellar, and the space inside must be at least three to four hundred cubic meters.

  Jin Daqian smiled and said: "It used to be enough, but now the palace is making money every day, and the pots of copper coins are almost filling up there!"

   "Really?" Li Yin opened his mouth and laughed, what could be happier than the money drawer not being able to hold the money, "Take me to see it!"

   "Yes, Your Highness!"

  The two led Li Yin around a few small roads, and stopped in front of a rockery on the west side of the palace. There was a stone gate in the middle of the rockery, which was covered by some vines.

Jin Daqian pushed open the stone door, picked up a torch from the side of the wall and lit it, and led Li Yin to go in, "Your Highness, please look!", and lit the lanterns evenly placed on the side wall in the cellar, and the cellar was immediately lit up. .

After adapting to the light in the cellar, Li Yin looked at the ground, where all the wealth of the palace was placed, not to mention some royal porcelain ornaments, bows, arrows, knives and guns, but now there are more brown ceramic pots with a height of half a meter. Inside are consistent copper coins. Such jars filled the entire cellar, and even piled up high.

  Picking up the money, Li Yin weighed it, at least two or three catties, and put it in the copper coins. Li Yin pointed to the wooden box inside and said, "What's in there?"

  Jin Daqian walked over hurriedly, opened the box, "Please look, Your Highness!"

   "Gold bars!" Li Yin was surprised.

Gao Zhangfang said at this time: "When the transaction amount is large, some merchants pay with gold. Please rest assured, these old gold slaves have checked carefully. There are official seals and the name of the producer on them, so they cannot be fake. of."

   "How much gold is there in the mansion now?" Li Yin picked up a gold bar and said, it really had the seal of the government and the name and address of the person on it.

  The high accountant said: "The total of such gold bars is 10,000 yuan, and each piece is 2 taels, a total of 20,000 taels of gold!"

   "It's about 200,000 yuan, which is not a small amount." Li Yin didn't ask about the income and expenditure of the Wangfu for a long time, and said, "How is the business of the Wangfu now?"

Jin Daqian said: "Now the main income of the palace comes from perfume and watches, followed by apricot flower wine and shampoo, while the paper mill has been losing money, and the printing factory is now slightly in surplus. Last time, the Dou family paid 10,000 guan at a time For advertising fees, many businesses are now negotiating with me about this matter. I think it will get better and better in the future. The surplus of the palace in the past few months is here, a total of 4.26 million guan money."

"Four million guan!" Li Yin pondered for a moment. He was still incomparable with some wealthy businessmen. He could only be regarded as a small rich man, but he felt relieved when he thought that he had only been in business for a few months. Tell the servants to dig two more cellars, lest you have to dig another one soon!" Li Yin was very confident.

  Jin Daqian and the high accountant looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Yes, my lord!"

   Coming out of the cellar, Li Yin glanced at Jin Daqian, thinking that he is now in charge of such a large wealth and the business of the palace, he has to turn the screws for him, "Jin Daqian, how long have you followed me?"

   "Your Highness, this old slave has been with His Highness for five years!" Although Jin Daqian was a little surprised why King Liang asked this question, he still said respectfully.

Li Yin continued: "Daqian, I have always trusted you, that's why I entrusted you with all the business and money of the palace. It's just that the bigger the business of the palace, the more temptations you will face. You must control this. Stop, don't make a mistake in a moment of confusion and damage the interests of the palace!"

"Your Highness!" Jin Daqian broke out in a cold sweat, and knelt down with a "plop". In the past few months, he has been in charge of the business of the palace. Indeed, many businessmen are trying to trick him. Treating guests and giving gifts is commonplace, in order to get from him. It was convenient and cheap to get the goods. Although he refused in every possible way, these merchants tried their best and even sent all the gifts to his home, and his wife was a money-seeker, so she did accept a lot of gifts. With short manpower, he had to give convenience to the businessman a few times. Now that King Liang asked this, did he know about it? Thinking of this, Jin Daqian was half-hearted.

Li Yin understood Jin Daqian's appearance, he was very calm, all of this was within his expectations, after all he came from a world full of corruption, it is abnormal for Jin Daqian not to accept gifts, he just slightly As soon as he tried it, Jin Daqian showed his tail, but Jin Daqian dared to admit it, which surprised him.

  The high accountant saw this scene, understood something, pointed to Jin Daqian and said: "Daqian, you are confused, you, how can your highness be sorry for you? How can you still collect those ignorant money, you..."

"Your Highness, this old slave really didn't want to collect the money. The old slave knew that His Highness gave him what he has today, so how could he dare to have such thoughts? It's just that those merchants took advantage of the old slave's absence and sent gifts home. My mother-in-law is also a profit-seeking person, so she took them all, and the old slave deserves to die, for failing His Highness!" As he spoke, Jin Daqian took off the butler's badge and put it in front of Li Min, crying, "Your Highness, This old servant is ashamed to be the steward of the palace, His Highness please punish him!"

  The high accountant also knelt down, and said sincerely: "Your Highness, I understand Jin Daqian, but his mother-in-law is not a good person, but Daqian is absolutely loyal to His Highness, please Your Highness show mercy!"

   "Old Gao!" Jin Daqian looked at the high accountant, "You don't have to plead for me, I'm useless, I can't control that woman!"

Li Yin just wanted to beat Jin Daqian. After all, he knew Jin Daqian, so what if he changed someone, everyone makes mistakes, as long as they can correct themselves, "Get up, tell the truth, how many gifts did you give that woman! What's the convenience for that businessman?"

"Twenty pennies!" Jin Daqian said: "I wanted to return it, but the woman refused to give it to me, so I had to change the order of the merchant's delivery. Your Highness put it down, and I will be with that woman when I go home." If you tear up your face, you will exchange the money for the palace!"

   "Your Highness, there is indeed nothing wrong with the income and expenditure of the Wangfu, Daqian did not sell goods at a low price!" Gao Accountant added.

Li Yin nodded: "Get up, people are not sages and sages, no one has faults, faults can be corrected, there is nothing good, let this matter go like this, don't be confused in the future, and take care of your mother-in-law when you go home, okay?" , your monthly salary will increase to ten guan from today, and other people in the palace will also increase their monthly salary according to their discretion. As I said, I will not treat you badly when the palace is rich. It is just that rewards are rewards and punishments are punishments. You go Get twenty boards, so as to imitate others! You should continue to be the housekeeper!"

"Your Highness! Old slave...Old slave..." Jin Daqian couldn't help crying. If this was another palace, his fate would be to be imprisoned and then become an official slave, but Li Yin just beat him twenty boards and gave him a salary. How could he not be moved by the monthly salary.

  Li Yin said: "This is not an example!", and then left the cellar.

  After Li Yin left, the high accountant helped Jin Daqian up, "Daqian will not be confused again in the future!"

   "Your Highness treats me like this, if I, Jin Daqian, feel sorry for Your Highness, I will be inferior to a pig!" Jin Daqian said firmly.
