The Tang Dynasty's Little Money Lover

Reborn in the Great Tang, Qin Zheng witnesses his mother starving herself to feed him. He swears he will earn money and give her the best life possible.

Li Tai: You gave some to Yuchi Baoqing, so why won't you let me have any?

Qin Zheng: If you want some, pay for it. Why all the questions?

Li Shimin: What? If I really want your things, I have to pay too?

Qin Zheng: Exactly. Your Majesty may be revered as a sage, but there are plenty of mouths to feed in my humble household. We all have to eat, don't we?

Empress Zhangsun: Zheng'er, you're my godson...

Qin Zheng: If I can't bring home money, what will happen to your daughter and grandson? They'll starve to death!

Cheng Yaojin: You little brat, I'm not paying you. What are you going to do about it?

Qin Zheng: Easy. Tomorrow I'll post notices all over the streets, making sure your glorious deeds are known throughout Chang'an and beyond.

Zhangsun Wuji: Are you really willing to die for money?

Qin Zheng: It's not that I'm obsessed with money. It's that without it, I'd be better off dead...
