At this moment, Li Shi Min was overjoyed. Wang Chen's evaluation made him happier than anything else.
A wise ruler was comparable to Yao and Shun!
What kind of lofty evaluation was this? There were so many emperors since ancient times, but how many of them were qualified to be evaluated like this?
Moreover, this comment did not come from the mouth of a minister who flattered him, but from the mouth of a civilian who did not know his identity.
It was obvious how valuable this was, and Li Shiming couldn't help but be happy.
He had spoken widely, worked hard, and worked tirelessly for the prosperity of the Great Tang. As expected, the people understood his painstaking efforts.
The previous few times he asked Wang Chen questions, Wang Chen's answers were considered to be average. Occasionally, he would say something that made people's eyes light up, but it was not that outstanding.
But this time, it was different. This time, the answer was too outstanding.
Li Shi Min couldn't help but exclaim,"This little shopkeeper has a pair of discerning eyes. Wuji, come out with me again tomorrow."”
"Yes, I will!"
Zhangsun Wuji bowed to show that he understood. At the same time, he could not help but praise Wang Chen's performance.
"What a lucky young man. Not everyone has the ability to be in the emperor's heart.”
……
The next day, Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji came to Wang Chen's tavern again. Wang Chen was still alone, looking at the pedestrians coming and going.
A large number of Imperial Army soldiers spread out in casual clothes, disguised as ordinary people, and stayed around the tavern to protect Li Shimin's safety.
Then, the two of them slowly walked in.
When Wang Chen saw Li Shi Min and the other man, he said in surprise,"Old Li, Old Sun, why are you here today? It's rare to see you come to my place one after another.”
"The dishes you made are really tempting, so I couldn't help but come." Li Er said with a smile.”
Wang Chen clapped.
"Then you came at the right time. I happen to have a few jars of wine that I personally brewed some time ago.”
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up.
"I've only eaten the dishes cooked by the shopkeeper, but I haven't drunk the wine you brewed. No matter what, I have to drink a few big cups today.”
Wang Chen took out a few small jars from the wine cabinet and placed them on Li Shimin's table.
"You guys drink first. I'll help you make a few dishes.”
"Alright, make a few more dishes. Today, the two of us will treat the shopkeeper to a drink and a meal.”
Wang Chen looked at Li Shiming and Li Li Qing in surprise. He didn't think too much and went to the kitchen to get busy.
Not long after, Wang Chen served a few dishes. The portions were much more than usual.
Then, he didn't stand on ceremony with Li Shi Min and the others and sat down.
"Shopkeeper, your wine is indeed not bad. It has a mellow and rich taste. It can be considered a high-grade wine. It's better than many fine wines I've drunk.”
Wang Chen poured himself a cup.
"It's brewed using an ancient method passed down in my family.”
Li Shiming nodded and savored the taste. Then, he said with a puzzled expression,
"Actually, there's something I don't understand. Shopkeeper, you have such good craftsmanship and the wine you brew is also of such high quality. Why don't you consider opening a bigger shop in the tavern?”
"Get some people to spread the news and have more guests. I dare guarantee that no one will say that it's not good.”
"At that time, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as earning a lot of money every day. If you work like this for three to five years, you'll definitely be able to become a rich man when you return to your hometown.”
"If you need it, the two of us can help you.”
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes narrowed slightly. He understood that His Majesty wanted to reward him. This was the reward for the evaluation of the " Sacred King ".
However, Wang Chen shook his head.
"I have the ambition to run the restaurant. It was only a temporary plan, not what I wanted.”
"To be honest, if it weren't for the two of you coming here often, I'm afraid I would have sold the tavern long ago.”
Li Shi Min was surprised.
In this city, it was really rare to see people who dared to say that they had the ambition of ascending the clouds.
Li Er immediately abandoned his previous thoughts and asked with interest,"Shopkeeper, you said that you have Ling Yunzhi. Can I teach you?”
Wang Chen nodded slightly. Since he had already bragged, it didn't matter if he bragged more.
Li Shi Min pondered for a while, not knowing if it was a coincidence or something else.
"Shopkeeper, what do you think of the relationship between the Great Tang and the Turks?"”
……
As soon as Li Shiming finished speaking, the empty tavern instantly fell silent.
Wang Chen looked at Li Er as if he was looking at a monster.
F * ck, this Old Li really wasn't afraid of death. Yesterday, he had asked what kind of person the Emperor was, and today, he was asking about the relationship between the Great Tang and the Turks.
Each topic was more sensitive than the other. Even if the Emperor was not punished for his words, he would still be in big trouble if he found out.
Was this something a businessman should ask?
For a small peasant to be concerned about such a national matter, could it be that he was prepared to be an advisor to the Emperor?
In fact, not to mention Wang Chen, even Zhangsun Wuji was looking at Li Shiming with a slightly strange gaze.
"Has Your Majesty gone overboard?"
……
Perhaps Li Shimin realized that he was being a little rash, so he explained,"I'm just saying. After all, the stability of the border will greatly affect us merchants.”
Wang Chen believed this explanation. When he thought of the extra money he received every time he paid the bill, he decided to casually talk about the historical trajectory that he knew.
"There will soon be a great war between the Turks and the Great Tang!”
