Li Shiming's appearance made Li Chengqian and Li Tai feel very awkward.
His father had always loved his two brothers and would reward them with anything delicious. Why did he change people for a so-called corn cob today?
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat. After you're done, go back to the palace!”
Li Shi Min said guiltily.
"Next time when there is a chance, zhen will take you to eat this corn cob.”
Li Chengqian and Li Tai looked at each other. Seeing how their father had finished the corn cob, they couldn't help but start to suspect.
Even if there was a chance next time, would it be his turn to eat?
……
After returning to Chang 'an, Li Shimin did not let Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the others go home. He went directly to the Dew Palace to discuss political affairs and confirm the contract with Li Xian.
The main task of the Great Tang was to provide relief to the victims, and to do so, they had to rely on Li Xian's corn.
Thus, Li Xian's letter of appointment was the final political matter!
"Your Majesty, the contract has been signed."
Fang Xuanling said.
"According to the agreement with Li Xian, Li Xian will sponsor 2.3 million catties of corn to solve the problem of food and clothing for the disaster victims.”
"Promise that within three years, Li Xian will be able to use the Inner Pass Road to do business and pay the taxes.”
Li Shi Min nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm, not bad."
"Tomorrow, you can personally send it over and discuss the specific matters with Li Xian.”
"The Ministry of Works has also sent people over to assist. The construction of the Inner Pass Road is not a small matter. Without professional talents, Li Xian may not be able to repair a road.”
In ancient times, the road was paved with yellow soil to ensure the smoothness of the road.
Most of them used stone materials.
It required cutting, sorting, and reuse. It was a very professional skill.
It was impossible to build a road that spanned more than four hundred li without such a professional.
"Here!"
Fang Xuanling agreed with a smile.
"His Majesty really values Li Xian. These details could have been ignored, but His Majesty still took the initiative to resolve them for him.”
"This subject is a little envious of Li Xian. At such a young age, he has received such honor and favor from His Majesty.”
Li Shi Min laughed.
"Haha, speaking of Li Xian, Zhen does like him.”
Li Shi Min praised.
"At such a young age and with a deep chest, I thought of such a method to help the victims.”
"The problem that all the officials in the court were helpless about was solved by a young master from Taiping Village.”
"How can I not like such a talent?”
Li Shi Min changed the topic and smiled.
"However, Li Xian is still young, after all, and his considerations are not comprehensive enough.”
"No matter what, this time, he is solving a problem for the Great Tang Imperial Court. I will do something to fill in the gaps for him.”
"In the future, he'll have to rely on himself.”
……
Taiping Village Li Family.
"Young Master, according to your instructions, a portion of the corn has been divided and sold in Chang 'an.”
Li Zhong asked carefully.
"However, isn't it a little too much for us to set a fixed price for one?”
Li Xian stretched his back and got up to take a sip of tea.
"This thing is just fresh. It won't be worth much in the future.”
Li Xian explained.
" A large number of disaster victims have flooded in. The people in Chang 'an City don't dare to go out of the gate. They are all staying at home.”
"I don't know the existence of corn at all."
"Let the servants use the pretense I designed and shout according to the slogan I taught them.”
"Business will definitely not be bad."
" But you have to remember!
Li Xian suddenly said seriously.
"Half of the money sold will be kept, and the other half will be used to buy food. It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher.”
"If someone asks you to buy in bulk, tell them our address and let them come to our house to buy it wholesale. They only accept food exchange, understand?”
Li Zhong nodded his head repeatedly and earnestly agreed.
"This old servant understands. Don't worry, Young Master, I'll be fine!”
Li Xian nodded. Li Zhong's ability to do things was average, but he was obedient. Using such a subordinate was worry-free.
He waved his hand and signaled Li Zhong to go and prepare.
Li Xian entered the system store.
" Only 80 Achievement Points."
Li Xian laughed at himself.
"In order to earn big money, you have to learn to be patient and wait for the right time.”
"In the future, when I earn a lot of money, I'll naturally increase my achievement points.”
"Let's see what useful things we can exchange for with these 80 points first.”
System recommendations:
Close combat skill: 10 points.
20 points for the cement processing formula.
50 points for the cement processing machine design.
Buy!
Li Xian was going to repair the road, and there was nothing better than cement.
The cement purchased would eventually be used up.
With the cement processing formula and the design of the processing machine, he could produce it himself. This was the long-term solution.
"It even changed to a purely hand-powered design. The system is very considerate!”
Li Xian was overjoyed.
He put away the design and the cement formula.
Then, he began to practice close combat techniques!
In ancient times, there was no harm in learning some martial arts when public security was not so good.
Although close combat techniques were not some mysterious power, it had greatly changed Li Xian's bodily functions, reaction speed, and strength.
As for the techniques, he had already learned them. All that was left was to practice and familiarize himself with them.
"Young Master, bad news!"
After practicing for an unknown amount of time, Li Xian was drenched in sweat when he saw Li Zhong running in while shouting.
"What's going on? Why are you so flustered?”
Li Xian frowned.
"Young Master, we've been robbed!"
Li Zhong's face was covered in scars, and blood was still flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"We had just arrived in Chang 'an and before we could open our stall, it was robbed by a vicious young master.”
"He claims to be the Young Duke of Changping County, Zhang Shenwei.”
"Not only did they snatch our things and beat us up, but they also brought hundreds of servants and blocked the door fiercely, shouting for Young Master to go out and talk!”
Wasn't the Duke of Changping Zhang Liang? He was indeed not taught well. His son was a bully!
Today was a good day to teach him a lesson and let him know that not everyone in the world was Zhang Shenwei's father who spoiled him so much.
"Who is Zhang Shenwei?"
Li Xian arrived at the door and asked coldly.
" How dare you! My name is not something a peasant like you can call me, I…"
Without waiting for Zhang Shenwei to show off his might, Li Xian went up and quickly threw three punches at his mouth.
Bang bang bang!
" Wow, you dare to hit me? Do you know who my father is? I…"
Zhang Shenwei cried out in anger. He wanted to threaten Li Xian, but when he saw Li Xian's fierce eyes, he was so scared that he didn't dare to speak.
"Who cares who you are."
Li Xian coldly laughed.
"Even if I hit you today, it would be for nothing. Do you believe me?”
