After loading the cars, Li Shen headed to the palace with more than 100 cars. When they arrived at the palace gate, the military guards guarding the gate made routine inspections. When I saw more than 160 cars, all of them were filled with copper coins. The commander of the military guards was dumbfounded. He has been guarding the palace for ten years. In the first year of Zhenguan, he began to gain Li Shimin's trust and served as the commander of the military guards. Responsible for guarding the palace. I have never seen anyone transporting money to the palace. He wasn't shocked even if Li Shen used his sword and spear. Finally, after careful inspection, the military guards allowed Li Shen's convoy to enter the harem. There is no way to prevent entry. Although this has never happened before, transporting money is not a weapon or dangerous goods. Such a long motorcade passed through the harem. It’s particularly eye-catching again during the day. When the motorcade stopped at the entrance of Daji Hall, the concubines from all palaces came to watch the fun. Even Queen Changsun came over. She is the master of the harem. She had to ask about everything in the harem.

Concubine Wei received a notice from the eunuch that King Ji had returned with a convoy and came out to check. Just then I saw Li Shen standing at the door. And Queen Changsun also came from afar.

"Shen'er, what are you doing? Why are you making such a big noise? What are they pulling in these cars?" Concubine Wei quickly asked her son. I am afraid that my son will make mistakes.

The president, Queen Sun, also came over with her servants. Everyone paid tribute to Queen Changsun. Queen Changsun came to Li Shen and asked with a smile, "Shen'er, what good things have you brought this time." Li Shen would give him a piece of good things every time. Not long ago, Concubine Wei gave him a box of good wine. I heard it's worth fifty guan.

"Reply to my mother. Bring the child back to buy some of the things outside the body." Li Shen replied, don't they all say that money is the things outside the body? Li Shen thought.

"Oh, what kind of thing is it?" Queen Changsun was even more curious.

"Mom will know when they unload the car." Li Shen replied. Then he turned around and said to the manager in charge, "Unload it all into the warehouse. After unloading one car, go back to Shang Food Prison. I will ask Manager Wang to deliver it to you in the evening for the reward. Start unloading the car." Li Shen waved his hand.

Li Shen gave an order and the cover of the first bullock cart was opened. The eunuch began to take out the money. Each person can only take ten strings at a time, which is more than 60 kilograms. Fortunately, these eunuchs work more and are in good health. Li Shen then ordered the eunuch in charge of Concubine Wei to open the warehouse and count the quantities.

Everyone watched as the eunuchs each carried a pile of copper coins into the Daji Hall. Dozens of eunuchs came and went. After unloading one car, the next one comes. One car, two cars, three cars. The concubines, eunuchs, and palace maids standing nearby watching the excitement were all eyes widened. Although they are also concubines, they all live in the palace. But the salary is really not that much. In addition to being favored, the reward is a little more. Even Queen Changsun's eyes were a little bright. She is restrained in her management, because Li Shimin is diligent and thrifty these years. He also restrained himself from spending money on government affairs at every turn. Now there are only more than 4 yuan in restraint. This is the [-] yuan that Li Shen has distributed in dividends in the past few months.

Concubine Wei was stunned. After unloading thirty cars in half an hour, there are still so many more behind. How did this son get so much money? It's not like he's doing anything illegal. Mainly because he didn't think of anything illegal that could make so much money in a few days. Robbed the treasury? ? Concubine Wei was thinking wildly.

Everyone who knows the news is here. Everyone heard that King Ji brought back more than 100 car money. Li Mengjiang also came from the Princess Palace to watch the fun. I saw Li Shen directing the transportation. Then look at the people around you whose eyes are shining. Li Mengjiang felt proud in his heart. This is her younger brother. In this era, the strength of the natal family is very important to a woman at home. Her brother is so capable, and she will be able to stand upright when she gets married in her husband's family, and her husband's family will not dare to bully her. Li Mengjiang thinks so mainly because she is an unpopular princess.

Li Shen saw Li Mengjiang in the crowd and waved to Li Mengjiang quickly. Shouting "Sister, sister, come here quickly."

Li Mengjiang saw Li Shen greeting him and walked over. "Shen'er, what's the matter?"

"Sister, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Aren't you and them going out to the palace to play? It will definitely cost money to go out and play. I will ask Shitou to bring someone to give you a thousand coins. You can buy whatever you like when you leave the palace. Stone, stone. Where are the people?”

Li Shen began to look around for this personal eunuch. The Tang Dynasty was not so strict about women going out. Festivals like the Mid-Autumn Festival. The princess can still go out of the palace to play with her servants. Perhaps because he is not favored, Li Mengjiang is usually very low-key, low-key, and frugal. Even if Concubine Wei gave it to her, she didn't spend much of it. Li Shen estimated that Li Mengjiang might not even buy anything when he left the palace this time. Li Shen felt how could his sister have such low self-esteem. Li Shimin does not favor him. As a younger brother's favorite. He was not prepared to let her sister get married so early. It has to be something that my sister likes.

"No need for Shen'er. I don't have anything to buy when I leave the palace," Li Mengjiang said with great emotion.

Just when Li Shen wanted to say something. Shitou ran out and said to Li Shen, "Your Majesty, what should I do if the warehouse can't hold it?" Concubine Wei Guifei's Daji Palace did not have any warehouse. They just used a room to store her and Li Shen's salaries. It's not big to begin with. Li Shen brought back such money. There was only about 50 cars and I couldn’t fit them in anymore. Li Shen couldn't even imagine how big the treasury was. I can put down tens of millions of dollars every year. The six warehouses that can hold hundreds of thousands of coins should be very large.

The people watching the excitement were also surprised. How much money it cost could not fit in one room. But Li Shen said to Li Mengjiang: "Sister, look, the warehouse can't hold it. You can take it away quickly and help me spend it." As soon as Li Shen said this, not only Concubine Wei but also Li Mengjiang felt the same. What Li Shen said was too showy. And the concubines next to him almost rolled their eyes. This King Ji is too good at pretending. Don't wait for Li Mengjiang to speak. Li Shen turned to the stone and said. "Shitou, go to the Princess Palace to deliver five carts of copper coins to my sister's yard." Shitou nodded and agreed to direct the five ox carts to the Princess Palace.

The princesses who came with Li Mengjiang had envious eyes. "Twelfth sister, tenth brother is so kind to you. You really love her in vain." Princess Dongyang said enviously.

"Yes, yes, Sister Twelve. Brother Ten is really capable. I'll give you a thousand guan. You can buy a lot of cloth, jewelry, rouge and gouache. Didn't you take a fancy to a painting by someone last time? At that time, you said [-] guan. The money is too expensive. Now that I have money, I will buy it back tomorrow," Princess Jin'an also said

Li Mengjiang said nothing. I feel happy. This brother's pain was not in vain.

At this time, Li Shen had asked Concubine Wei to find a larger house, and the move was finally completed two hours later. The crowd had already dispersed. Queen Changsun followed Concubine Wei into the hall to chat. Wait until Li Shen finishes his work and enters the hall. Concubine Wei asked. "Shen'er, where did you get all this money?"

"Auntie, I earned it all from business. I earned it from a business partnership with my eldest sister, Li Zhi. I have already had people give away the dividends this time." Li Shen said

"Oh? You are also partnering with Princess Changle. Princess Changle will follow you and cause mischief." Concubine Wei did not believe it.

"Haha. Shen'er is really right. Lizhi told me when she entered the palace a few days ago. Five hundred and [-]% of the shares. It seems that Lizhi has made a lot of money this time." Empress Changsun said with a smile.

"The Emperor has arrived." A eunuch announced outside.
