"This tea is very comfortable to eat. I'll brew a pot for the Guanyin maid later. I reckon she'll be very happy.”
In the thatched cottage, Li Er seemed very comfortable drinking tea.
Empress Zhangsun was still locked up in the Cold Palace alone and refused to come out. Li Er was still thinking about how to curry favor with her.
Now, it was great. Empress Zhangsun used to like tea. Now that the taste was hundreds of times better, she would definitely be happy.
At that time, he would definitely come out after coaxing her. Li Er suddenly sighed when he thought of this.
There was still no news of Princess Chang Le. This girl was very clever, and her tracks were basically wiped out, making it difficult to trace her.
In fact, he was not worried that Li Lizhi would run away from home. With her intelligence, she should be able to get by.
Li Er was most worried that Li Lizhi would be in danger. That would be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Li Er put down his teacup unhappily.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The princess is blessed and will return safely.”
Fang Xuanling could tell that Li Er was worried and quickly spoke. The latter sighed.
" It's best if that's the case. As long as Lizhi is willing to come back, I won't make things difficult for her anymore…"
"Ta Ta Ta…"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of hurried and heavy footsteps. It was Cheng Yaojin.
"How is it? Who is the person who claims to be the richest man in Chang 'an? Did he leave?"
Fang Xuanling quickly stood up and asked. Cheng Yaojin grabbed the teacup and gulped it down. He wiped the corner of his mouth and said,
"He was chased away by Old Cheng! Your Majesty, do you know who it is?"
"Who is it?"
"Duke Zhao!"
"Ancestors?"
Li Er's face revealed a stunned expression, and he could not help but say,
"Why would he come personally? Why did he call himself the richest man in Chang 'an? Why did you buy this sweet potato?"
"Your Majesty, I'm sure you don't know that the Duke of Zhao has a lot of wealth in Chang 'an!”
Cheng Yaojin sat down and said seriously,"
"I heard it just now. The largest restaurant, clothing shop, inn, and ironworks in Chang 'an City are all his!”
"Your Majesty, Duke Zhao has earned a lot of money in private. Old Cheng thinks that the title of the richest man in Chang 'an makes sense!”
In the past, he had always been tricked by Zhangsun Wuji. Now that he had the chance, Cheng Yaojin naturally wanted to trick the former.
According to the laws of the Tang Empire, officials were not allowed to engage in business. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen were the lowest social class.
How embarrassing would it be if an official went into business?
However, it had to be said that doing business was a huge profit!!
Therefore, many officials had private businesses. These businesses were not only real estate, but also commercial businesses.
However, this was all secretly controlled and would not be brought to the surface. Li Er also turned a blind eye.
As long as he didn't go overboard, it wouldn't be a problem.
But now that he heard Cheng Yaojin's words, Li Er's breathing quickened.
How bold!
Chang 'an restaurants, inns, garment factories, and ironworks were all profitable industries that earned a lot of money every day!
Although Li Er was very powerful as the emperor, he was very poor. The national treasury was watched by the Ministry of Revenue and could not be moved out at all.
Li Er had been eyeing such a profitable industry for a long time.
In the past, Li Er thought that he was controlled by the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs and did not dare to act rashly.
Who knew that it was Zhangsun Wuji!
How hateful!
Zhangsun Wuji actually dared to secretly make a fortune behind his back…No, secretly breaking the law?!!
"Bang!"
Li Ermeng slammed the table and his face darkened. He had to put an end to this kind of thing that made a fortune without his knowledge…no, illegal things!
Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin was secretly delighted. Zhangsun Wuji was acting like a f * ck just now. You're done for!!!
"Does the auxiliary machine know that I am here?"
Li Er's gloomy voice sounded. Cheng Yaojin quickly shook his head and said,
"I don't know. Old Cheng, I remembered His Majesty's instructions and didn't give myself away.”
"But that Duke Zhao is very arrogant. He insisted on snatching it from me, Old Cheng, and even bid with Old Cheng. Now, here's a sweet potato.”
This old demon was extremely sinister. Taking advantage of this moment, she quickly pushed all the blame onto Zhangsun Wuji.
Otherwise, when Li Er found out that it was because he had increased the price of the carriage, he would definitely blame him.
"How much?"
Li Er had a bad premonition. Cheng Yaojin came over and whispered,
"Seven hundred wen!"
"Bang!"
Li Er suddenly slammed the table and stood up. He looked at Cheng Yaojin in shock and said,
"A sweet potato costs seven, seven hundred wen?! This, this…this is robbery!!”
" Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down…"
Cheng Yaojin was so frightened that his neck shrank back and he quickly said. Fortunately, he had pushed the blame to Zhangsun Wuji.
Otherwise, he would have been beaten up by Li Er!
Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin shivered and couldn't help but say,"
"Your, Your Majesty, I, I have no choice, I…"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter was also caused by Duke Zhao meddling out of thin air.”
Fang Xuanling said.
"Hu hu hu…"
Li Er panted heavily and could not help but ask again.
"Then do you know how many sweet potatoes there are in Reliance Village?”
"It seems to be three million jin."
" Three million jin?!!"
Li Er's eyes almost popped out, and his mouth was wide open.
In this era, how much rice was produced per mu?
At most, it would be a thousand pounds.
This, this…
Li Er didn't know whether to be happy or sad. With this sweet potato, he could immediately solve the famine, but the price…
"Where's Young Master Qin? Why hasn't he returned? Zhen wants to discuss this matter with him immediately!!”
"His wife told him to go home for dinner and said that she would come over later.”
"Eat, eat?"
Li Er almost fell to the ground. Qin Feng, you're not even in a hurry for a business worth a few million taels of silver. Why are you leaving them here?
"Young Master Qin is truly an extraordinary person. I'm afraid that he wouldn't even care about this sum of money.”
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but sigh. Li Er sat down with a gloomy expression. After a while, he heaved a sigh of relief and said,
"Let's wait for him to come back. I hope there's a way to turn this around.”
……
"Husband, this is the sweet potato porridge that Chang Le made according to your instructions. Is it delicious?”
"It's very sweet. Wifey, have a taste. Ah…"
"Oh…"
Li Changle's mouth was puffed up from being fed by Qin Feng. He chewed it gently and then stroked his hair. He looked at the latter and said,
"Husband, I heard that there are a few distinguished guests from Chang 'an City in the village, right?”
"Yes, I'm here to buy sweet potatoes. This matter has been closed. Do you know how much you can sell them for?”
Qin Feng looked at Li Changle with a smile. The latter shook his head gently, tilted his head and said with a smile,
"I don't know, but my husband's business must be full of rewards!”
"Hahaha…"
Qin Feng laughed heartily and patted Li Changle's little head.
"With this deal, my husband can earn millions of silver and raise my Changle until he's fair and fat. If he has a child in the future, he won't have to worry.”
Li Changle's face immediately turned red, and the corners of his mouth lifted sweetly. Suddenly, he remembered something and said,"
"Husband, how are you going to use this huge sum of money?”
