Li Yin didn't have time to comfort them. He explained his thoughts to them."Although our entertainment city is a place to entertain the public, we won't let women sell their bodies. We rely on excellent programs.”
"Young Master, what's the program?" Liu Yue asked.”
"Show…have you seen street performances?”Li asked.
"Yes, yes, I've seen him before. A few days ago, I even saw a person with a huge rock on his chest. That person was so powerful. Even the rock was shattered, but he was completely fine.”
"Yes, this is the so-called program. Our entertainment city is made up of such programs. Of course, breaking a rock in the chest is a low-end thing. We can do some singing and dancing, crosstalk…Alright, you guys definitely don't know what crosstalk is, but you guys should know about storytellers in teahouses, right? It's probably two people working together to tell a story…Right, there's also a talk show. Alright, you guys definitely don't know about talk shows. It's basically replacing the two crosstalk performers with one.”
The two girls looked at each other. How could they tell a story together? Moreover, listening to a book in a teahouse could last for an hour with just a few copper coins. Who would pay a lot of money to listen to a storyteller? Just because the number of storytellers had increased from one to two?
And that talk show, changing two people into one person, wasn't that just storytelling?
"Liu Yue, you have a more generous personality. You can develop yourself in the direction of a host. Shiniang is meticulous and is more suitable for management…"
The two girls were dumbfounded again. What was a host?
The next day, Li called over the carpenters, bricklayers, and stonemasons in the manor. He asked these craftsmen to start renovating the entertainment city according to his intentions.
After that, he sent people to look for those street performers and storytellers in teahouses.
He came to Li Ke's residence.
When Li Ke saw Li Yin, he pretended to be angry and said,"Sixth brother, this seems to be the first time you've come to my place after moving out of the palace, right? Am I that unwelcomed by a scholar like you?”
"Third brother, what are you talking about? You are a busy man. It is not easy for a younger brother like me to see an older brother.”As he spoke, Li Yin handed two white radishes, two carrots, a cabbage, a cucumber, and a bag of fungus to the butler beside him."This is just a small gift, please accept it. Butler, let the cook cook all these dishes. I'll stay at Third Brother's place for dinner later.”
The corners of Li Ke's mouth twitched. What a meager gift!
Li Yin didn't explain. Instead, he smiled and said,"Third Brother, this time, I won't visit unless I have something to ask for. I've recently made a living…"
"Sixth Brother, why are you being so polite with Third Brother? When you leave later, I'll get the butler to give you fifty taels of silver. As your brother, I can't afford any more.”
"Third brother is straightforward! However, Third Brother, other than money, I still lack people. The last time I came, I saw that there were a lot of singers in your residence. Imperial Father values you so much, but you are addicted to wine and women. If Imperial Father finds out, he will definitely be disappointed in you. Why don't you give these singers to me!”Li Yin said.
Li Ke took a deep breath.”
When Li Yin heard this, he instantly understood. It must be that the other singers were having an affair with him. Although singers were just playthings, and many dignitaries treated singers as goods, not everyone could give away the women they had played with. Li Ke was obviously 'not open'.
However, four wasn't bad either. If he were to buy them outside, four singers, even if they were of average looks, would cost at least 180 taels of silver. He wasn't rich now, so he would save as much as he could.
Li Yin had a " criminal record ". Previously, he had spent five hundred taels to buy two prostitutes. Li Ke only thought that Li Yin had started playing with women at a young age and did not think about business. What did a singer have to do with business?
Very soon, the cook in Li Ke's residence had finished preparing the dishes that Li Yin had brought. However, perhaps because Li Ke had instructed her to do so, the cook had also prepared a few 'hard dishes.' Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for the two princes to sit together and eat with plates of radishes and cabbages on the table.
"Haha, let me try the radish that Sixth Brother brought.”In order to give face to Li Yin, Li Ke first picked up a piece of radish." Eh, Sixth Brother, your radish…"
After Li Ke swallowed a piece of radish, he picked up a piece of cabbage."This cabbage is also so delicious? Sixth Brother, where did you buy these radishes and cabbages? In the future, my residence will buy this kind of vegetable.”
Li Yin smiled and said," Third brother, this is something that a farmer in my manor grows using a special method. Each type can only produce a dozen or so pills a year at most. It's not something that can be bought with money. If it wasn't for the first time I brought a gift to visit third brother, I wouldn't have been willing to part with it!”
"Sixth brother, if we can promote this kind of radish and cabbage…"
Li Yin shook his head." That's impossible. Take this radish for example. Just planting this one would cost at least five to six taels of silver to buy various medicinal herbs. It would be fine to get a few to try it out, but it wouldn't be able to be promoted.”
"What is it? Five or six taels of silver?" Li Ke asked in surprise.
"What else? If not for that, this thing would have been sold all over Chang 'an.”Li Yin said.
Li Ke nodded in agreement. It was indeed so. The business opportunity of this thing was too obvious. As long as it was profitable, it would not be the first time he had heard of it.
"Oh right, Sixth Brother, what did you say about making a living?”Li Ke asked.
"I bought a brothel…"
"What?" Li Ke's expression changed when he heard that. He said resentfully,"Sixth Brother, are you stupid? We are princes, how can we run this kind of business? Listen to Third Brother and quietly sell this brothel.”
"Third brother, don't worry, I'm not opening a brothel. I can't tell you the details now, but you'll understand when it opens.”
Hearing that Li Yin didn't open a brothel, Li Ke was relieved. It was already very embarrassing for a prince to go into business. If he went to run a brothel, there would definitely be a group of ministers reporting to Li Shiming.
As the two of them chatted, Li Ke's expression suddenly changed. He stood up and said," Sixth brother, why do I feel like my body…"
Li Yin smiled." Third Brother, when these vegetables were planted, a large amount of medicinal herbs were added. These medicinal herbs are very beneficial to the body. However, this thing is only effective when eaten for the first time.”
This time, Li Yin brought Li Ke one fruit each for the three attributes of strength, agility, and physique. There was also a mutated cabbage and mutated carrot that could increase the color and taste. The fungus was a newly produced species, and its attribute was physique 1. However, this fungus increased attributes continuously. Every month of continuous consumption, it could increase physique by 1 point, and the upper limit was 5 points.
There was also a new variety of spinach. Perhaps the farm system had seen Popeye before, but this spinach actually had the same effect as the spinach in Popeye. After eating it, one's strength would increase by 3 within 5 minutes. The disadvantage was that one could only eat it twice a day.
Therefore, he did not give the Spinach to Li Ke.
As for revealing these mutated fruits to Li Ke, Li Yin thought about it carefully. Since the system did not produce only one mutated fruit for each type, this meant that the extra mutated fruits, other than selling them for money, were for others to eat.
He was a prince. In this world, no one could do anything to him except for Li Shiming. As long as he could get past Li Shiming, who would dare to investigate how he got these things? Therefore, he didn't need to have any scruples.
