Furthermore, Fang Xuanling felt that Li Chen should not get involved in the matters of the royal court. The current model was not bad. Firstly, it was for Li Er's good, and secondly, it was for Li Chen's good.
Nodding, Li Chen thought for a moment and said,""Minister Fang, may I ask how many sheep the Great Tang produces in a year?”
Fang Xuanling frowned, thinking that Li Chen wanted to start a mutton business, which was not a good idea. He replied,""The production isn't too large, and most of it comes comes from the northern grasslands.”
"Oh... Send someone to collect all the wool. You can buy it with money. No, it's more reliable to exchange it with something.”
He had just woken up and was extremely hungry. Li Chen stammered as he ate. Although it was a little rude, it was better than starving.
Fang Xuanling was impressed by Li Chen's eating habits, but when he thought about how Li Chen had slept for two days, he felt relieved. Under the drive of hunger, any etiquette would be thrown aside. However, Li Chen's words made him a little stunned."Wool? What use is that?"
Before wool was developed, it was basically useless and superfluous. Most of it was used to throw away. He did not expect Li Chen to actually want wool.
After eating a few mouthfuls of venison to fill up his empty internal organs, Li Chen stopped. He planned to eat later. He put down his chopsticks and wiped the oil from his mouth. He said slowly,"Wool is a good thing. Minister Fang can send people to collect it. In addition, collect duck feathers and goose feathers as well.”
These were all things that could be turned into money.
As long as he used it well, he could definitely earn a lot of money.
"I don't want the wool that is too short and too dirty. I only want the feathers of duck and goose. Just go under my banner. Your Majesty, just wait and count the money.”
This kind of thing could only be done under the banner of Li Chen. If it was done under the banner of the royal family, countless ministers would want to impeach him again. Fortunately, he had the royal family's background. As long as he did not appear, it would be fine.
Wool, duck feathers, and goose feathers could all be turned into money. If it was anyone else who said that, Fang Xuanling would definitely spit on his face. It was all nonsense, but Li Chen had already made many impossible things possible, so Fang Xuanling had no choice but to believe it.
"In addition, I need a group of blacksmiths.”
Weaving wool required a machine. Li Chen could not make a precise machine, but the simple one was fine. Although the wool weaved was not very good, the speed was slow, and the yield was low. It was better than using his hands.
"This old man will make the arrangements right away. I hope that you will not forget the disappointment His Majesty has suffered this time.”
Fang Xuanling looked deeply at Li Chen and sighed."Treat Changle well in the future. The pressure on others is no less than yours."”
........
"I've wronged you. Your Imperial Father is the ruler of a country. His words are golden and jade. The words he says cannot be changed. Although that Li Chen is dressed a little strangely, he is still a talent.”
Hugging his daughter, Zhangsun's heart was filled with complicated emotions. Sometimes, being in the royal family was like this. When it came to marriage, it was not up to them to decide. Although Li Chen was a strange person in the outside world, he was at least a talent despite his strange hairstyle and strange clothes.
It was not an insult to his daughter.
However, when Empress Zhangsun thought about how her daughter would be getting married soon, she felt a wave of reluctance.
"Your daughter doesn't need to feel wronged. Everything will be decided by Imperial Father and Imperial Mother.”
Chang Le leaned against Empress Zhangsun's chest and hid her little head. She didn't have much resistance to this marriage. After all, marriage was not a big deal. Chang Le even wanted to be relieved. Previously, because of what happened between her and Li Chen, she had been troubled for a long time.
However, when he thought of Li Chen wearing slippers and sportswear, Chang Le's smiling face scrunched up. This outfit was indeed very strange.
"After the two of you are engaged, your father plans to let you go to the school he runs to study. At that time, you have to be obedient.”
"Ah?"
Chang Le cried out in surprise. His tender face instantly turned red. He wanted to learn, or was Li Chen teaching?
W-would this work? When he thought of their future identities, Chang Le felt extremely embarrassed.
She felt like a little wife meeting her husband.
If Li Chen was here, he would definitely find it strange. He actually didn't resist too much!!
The girls of the royal family had no initiative in marriage. They could only accept it passively. Most of them were political marriages. Changle had long been mentally prepared for this, but the candidate suddenly became Li Chen.
"Unfilial son, you can't forget Changle so much that you're willing to harm yourself?”
Zhangsun Wuji looked at his son, Zhangsun Chong, who was in a daze and reeking of alcohol, and cursed. Wasn't she just a woman?
Although Chang Le was betrothed to Li Chen, was there no other woman in the world?
It had to be said that Zhangsun Chong had changed a lot. He had been eyeing Changle since a long time ago. How old was Changle back then? She wondered if he would feel a psychological burden because of this.
"Father, I know I was wrong.”Zhangsun Chong paused for a moment and obediently admitted his mistake.
Zhangsun Wuji was very dissatisfied with his son's self-indulgence. He waved his hand and left."Remember my words. Women will always be a foil. Don't lose your mind because of women. This is not what men do."”
He believed that his son would soon be able to walk out of this shadow and marry another woman. How could a man who did great things be worried about love?
Zhangsun Wuji had always been standing behind Li Chengqian and Li Tai, so he could see where Li Chengqian stood. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent his son to the Crown Prince's side. As long as Li Chengqian became the Emperor in the future, his son Zhangsun Chong would be a hero!
It was a pity that Zhangsun Wuji's foresight was not good. The capital he invested in Li Chengqian and Li Tai did not get any returns at all. In the end, he even lost himself. No one would have thought that the Great Tang would fall on that little boy, Li Zhi.
........
After leaving the Li Residence, Fang Xuanling entered the palace and conveyed Li Chen's words to Li Er. Li Er was also confused. Why did this kid want a large amount of wool, duck feathers, and goose feathers?
