" Gave it away?!"
When Qin Huaiyu reported this matter to his father, Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong's eyes widened. He did not expect his son to be so generous. He directly gave a large batch of craftsmen to Li Chen. This was not a small sum.
"Father, please listen to me.”
Seeing that Qin Qiong was staring at him with a somewhat unfriendly gaze, Qin Huaiyu hurriedly explained and recounted the entire situation. Of course, all the responsibility was pushed onto Fang Yiai's head. It was this idiot who had helped him. Otherwise, he would not have been in such a difficult position.
Fang Yiai!
After Qin Qiong heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with that batch of craftsmen. In any case, there was nothing to do at home, so there was no harm in giving them away. It was just that he had given them all away at once. In addition, he had been scammed, so Qin Qiong felt a little stifled.
Hence, with a wave of his hand, the son of Qin Qiong spat out a mouthful of saliva. How could he take back what he had said? A real man has his own things to do, and there are also things he shouldn't do. One word, send!!
However, Qin Qiong secretly remembered Fang Yiai in his heart.'I'll find a chance to teach you a lesson, you fool who scammed your father and brothers!'!
Back in the mansion, Li Ke did not have time to rest. After washing up, he came to the palace to meet Li Er and told him everything he had seen and heard.
Li Er and Empress Zhangsun fell silent. After a long time, Li Er said,""In other words, the cement really has such an effect. After mixing it with the iron rod and sand, it can actually become stronger than rock?”
"I don't dare to lie to father. Many people have tried it themselves. Li Chen also said that this is only the initial stage. After a few days of watering and maintenance, it will become even stronger.”
As a prince, even though Li Ke was still young, he understood what this thing meant to the Great Tang.
With cement, the Great Tang could build cities in the desert and grasslands, preventing foreign invaders from invading. It could also build cement roads to open up the road between the north and south, increasing the flow of traffic between the north and south, boosting the economy and population, and reducing transportation costs.
Taking ten thousand steps back, building houses with cement could reduce the consumption of wood. Stone and sand were cheap, and there was no need to worry about fire. Every year, Chang 'an lost a lot of money because of fire. If it was in the entire Tang Empire, it would be an astronomical figure.
Li Er sat on the dragon throne in a daze after hearing that. He felt bad. The cement was good, but it was not his!
Li Ke sat down obediently and looked down at the floor, waiting for Li Er to speak.
"Go back and rest. Your performance today was not bad. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts in the future.”
After a long time, Li Er waved his hand and let Li Ke return to the residence to rest. In an instant, he seemed to have aged a few years, and his ambition had been worn down a lot.
It was forcefully ground for Li Chen.
Other people would hide whatever good things they had and even use all kinds of excuses to prevent Li Er from snatching them away. Li Chen, on the other hand, took out all of them. I want to tell you that I have a lot of things that you are jealous of, but can you snatch them away?
If you want it, come and buy it, but you can only exchange for expensive items!
After a period of observation, Li Er realized that Li Chen seemed to have a dispensable attitude towards power. On the contrary, money and women were more attractive to him. Money was easy to talk about. He would always have it if he saved a little, but women made Li Er worry.
"Your son will take his leave."
Li Ke didn't dare to stay any longer. He left Taiji Palace and quickly went back to his residence to rest. He was afraid that Li Er had already developed a hidden consciousness. Secondly, he was really tired.
Little Han. When had Li Ke, who grew up with a golden spoon, ever done such menial work? Today, he had almost lost his life. Not only was his entire body sore, but his legs were also trembling as he walked. He could not exert any strength.
"Guan Yin Bi, don't you think I'm a failure? I can't even deal with a small business, and can only curry favor.”
After Li Ke left, Li Shi Min relaxed, a bitter smile on his face.
"Second brother is the ruler of a country, how could he have such thoughts? This was irresponsible to the Great Tang and the Li Clan.”
Empress Zhangsun did not spoil Li Er. Instead of comfort, she received a scolding. If it were anyone else, they would not dare to do so, but Empress Zhangsun was different.
"Moreover, how can Li Chen be an ordinary merchant? According to ChenQie's observation, this person must have great talent, but unfortunately, he has been reduced to a merchant and only deals with the stench of money.”
This was also why Li Er was confused. Why wasn't I worthy of your loyalty?
Under Empress Zhangsun's reprimand, Li Er came to his senses and regained his usual vigor." No matter what, I will not give up easily. Since I know that this person is a great talent, if he can be used by me, it will be the good news of the Tang Empire. I must know why he refused to pledge loyalty to me and was willing to be a merchant.”
Empress Zhangsun heaved a sigh of relief when Li Er recovered. She was also secretly happy for him." Just do as Your Majesty says."”
Li Er felt inexplicably happy after the knot in his heart had been cleared. He had always looked at Li Chen as a businessman, so he had always been stuck in a dead end. Since he knew that Li Chen was talented, why did he treat him as an ordinary businessman?
He, Li Er, was thirsty for talents. He did not believe that he could not move Li Chen's heart!!
So what if he was a merchant? Many of the civil and military officials in the court were traitors back then, but now, they had become his subjects and important officials in the court.
"Your Majesty, if…" Empress Zhangsun hesitated." If it's possible, ask Li Chen about it."
