[The new book "My Grandpa is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty" is released, welcome to read]

Changan.

In Chu Wangfu.

"Hurry up, all of you have been lined up for me."

Twenty death row prisoners lined up one by one under the command of the cell boss.

There are four rows in total, with five condemned prisoners in each row.

"Everyone who came here, now you have a chance to start anew."

Immediately afterwards, the cell boss explained the purpose of letting them come here.

When the cell boss finished speaking, the twenty condemned prisoners below all exploded.

Everyone thought in their hearts that they must perform well and let His Royal Highness Chu Wang choose him.

"All right."

"Whether you can grasp this rare opportunity to start a new life depends on your own performance."

"Next, we invite His Highness the King of Chu to come out and choose someone from among you."

As soon as the cell boss finished his sentence, Li Kuan walked out with Xiao Feiliu.

I saw Li Kuan coming out.

The jailer took the lead, knelt down towards King Chu Li Kuan and shouted: "See His Highness King Chu."

"Your Highness, a thousand years old! A thousand years old! A thousand years old!"

"Everyone get up!"

Li Kuan signaled everyone to get up, and waited for them all to get up.

Xiao Feiliu brought a grand master's chair from nowhere and put it under Li Kuan's buttocks.

"Everyone, if you are able to come here, I believe your prison boss has already explained the reason to you!"

The twenty condemned prisoners nodded one after another, which was considered to be a response to Li Kuan's question.

"very good!"

Li Kuan sat down on the grand teacher's chair, turned his face sideways, and looked at the prisoner standing beside him.

Asked: "Are all the people here literate?"

"You didn't fish in troubled waters, let some illiterate ones be included!"

heard.

The jailer knelt down and said: "The villain wouldn't dare."

"If you don't believe it, His Highness can study them one or two."

"There are [-] death row prisoners here, all of whom can read and write."

"Among them, some of them have passed the examinations for fame, and one or two of them were once strong men."

"There are also some young masters who were born in famous and scholarly families..."

"Ok!"

Li Kuan nodded, expressing his satisfaction with the people he selected.

"Everyone."

"The imperial decree says that the king only needs to pick one person, but today the king wants to pick two."

Hearing Li Kuan's words, the cell boss was frightened.

Quickly and cautiously persuaded: "Your Highness, these people are all prisoners on death row!"

"The imperial decree only said that His Highness should choose one person, but it didn't mention two people!"

"In case, His Majesty is blamed."

"Little man, this head..."

The more the prison boss spoke, the quieter he spoke, and the more he trembled all over his body.

"fine."

Li Kuan gave the jailer a "reassuring" look.

"If something goes wrong, I will take care of it for you."

"After the person is selected, I will enter the palace in person and mention this matter to my father."

"Father won't blame you, so don't worry!"

Hearing Li Kuan's words, the cell boss felt relieved.

The reason why Li Kuan wanted to choose two condemned prisoners from the crowd.

Not on a whim.

He had thought a long time ago that he would find someone to run his business professionally.

If this is put in later generations, there is a word called a professional manager.

That's right.

At present, King Li Kuan of Chu only has business in the three major industries of perfume, real estate and saltpeter.

But he believes that it won't be long.

His business will grow bigger and bigger.

At that time, I don't have so much time to stare at my business every day.

So I can only find a professional manager.

The reason why Li Kuan thought of prison selection.

That's because in this world, it's not the imperial palace or the rivers and lakes that have the most talents.

but prison.

Prisons have the most talents.

In particular, prisoners who have been sentenced to death are the smartest among talents.

If such people are not smart, then it is impossible for them to have the ability to commit major crimes.

He was thus sentenced to death.

"My lord, I will choose two people from among the 20 of you."

Li Kuan raised two fingers, then put down another finger and said, "One person must win glory for the country."

"The chess player selected by the mission that defeated the Turks."

When he said this, Li Kuan also put down the last finger.

Then he clenched his hand into a fist and raised it high.

He raised his voice a little and continued: "The other person, I will let him enter the palace of the Prince of Chu and let him do things for the king."

"Anyone who can be selected by this king, successfully enter the Chu Palace, and work for this king."

"Not only will he get a brand new identity, but he may also become the richest man in Datang, or even the world."

Twenty condemned prisoners standing below.

Hearing Chu Wang Li Kuan's words, everyone became excited.

Although they were said to be death row prisoners, they still learned from the chatter of some jailers.

The King of Chu in Datang is now the richest man in Datang.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu owns three major industries, one is perfume, two is saltpeter, and three is real estate in the old city.

It's no wonder they aren't excited to be able to do things for such people.

"All right."

Li Kuan saw twenty prisoners on death row who were extremely excited.

He smiled and asked, "Next."

"From among the twenty of you, choose the person that the king wants, and then it is the turn to choose the person who will win glory for the country."

When hearing Li Kuan's words.

The twenty condemned prisoners all kept their mouths shut.

At this moment, very quiet.

The quietness made the cell boss feel a little scared.

Twenty death row prisoners are waiting for Li Kuan to come up with a question.

They all shouted in their hearts.

screaming in my heart.

I hope that I can be selected by His Royal Highness King Chu.

I don't know how long it took.

at last.

Li Kuan began to speak.

"Excuse me."

"If this king, give one of you 100 taels of silver."

"So, who of you can do it within two years."

"Turn these 100 taels of silver into 500 million taels of gold?"

"This……"

"hiss……"

Hearing this question from Li Kuan, it was not just the twenty condemned prisoners.

Even the prison chief and others present gasped.

What is the problem?
Within two years, 100 taels of silver became 500 million taels of gold.

There is no solution to this problem at all!

May I ask who in the entire Tang Dynasty can do it?
All the people present began to discuss.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was sitting on the grand master's chair, was very happy to see such a scene.

I thought to myself, I don't know who can answer this question?
If this problem is left to future generations.

Then there must be eight hundred people who can give the answer, if not one thousand.

only.

Here is Datang, a country whether it is economic, political or military.

They are all very, very backward feudal societies.

Can people in this era really give a satisfactory answer?
Li Kuan was really suspicious.

"Your Highness, the bird's nest you want is ready."

Li Yuanfang walked over with a bowl of bird's nest in her hand, and she came to Li Kuan's right.

"Ok!"

Turning his face sideways, he saw Li Yuanfang coming.

Li Kuan stretched out one hand, took the bird's nest in the other and drank it.

"Your Highness."

"What are they talking about?"

"Aren't you going to choose one of these death row prisoners to be a chess player?"

"Why are the cell bosses and jailers talking about it?"
