Chang 'an City, East City.
That Guanyin maid had indeed treated him well, bestowing him with a mansion.
Otherwise, how long would Lin Xuan be able to afford it with his wealth?
Lin Xuan was also very grateful for this and swore that he would definitely serve her well. Then, he changed the residence into a tea house. After all, before the system was activated, she still had to live.
Lin Xuan was not too interested in this title.
This was because he knew that Li Er would start to play tricks on this in the future. After all, the Guanlong Group was too powerful and he had to think of a way to weaken it. Therefore, this title could not be inherited at all, and it would also lose a lot of preferential treatment.
"Old Xuan, we're here again."
Just as Lin Xuan was lying on the chair for an afternoon nap, a silly voice suddenly came from outside.
Then, two men in plain clothes walked in.
When Lin Xuan heard this, a smile appeared on his face. These two were old regulars and could be considered the first batch of customers of his tea house.
"Old Li, Old Sun, sit."
Then, Lin Xuan stood up and waved his hand.
These two people were naturally Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji, who were incognito.
At this moment, Li Er was very casual. He sat down cross-legged without any courtesy. He had come to this tea house many times.
Through this period of contact, he also understood this Lin Xuan. Although he was only a small eunuch in the internal servant supervisor previously, it was indeed as the Guanyin maid said, he had some ability.
At least he didn't seem to be from a poor family. He spoke elegantly and occasionally recited poems and painted. It was a miracle.
In addition, the Guanyin maidservant had been unwilling to compromise, so he temporarily shelved the removal of his title and identity as a royal eunuch.
"Old Xuan, what do you think of our Great Tang?”
Li Er took the teacup and took a sip. Then, he asked with a silly smile.
This Lin Xuan has some talent, especially when it comes to things. Therefore, he wants to hear his views on the Great Tang under my governance.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes at Old Li when he heard this.
He cursed in his heart. The two of you are just businessmen. In terms of status, you might not be able to compare to a eunuch like me. Why do you care about national affairs?
After all, at this stage, the status of merchants was indeed low. If some of the big families had people who engaged in business, they would even be expelled from the family tree.
"The current Sage Emperor is open to speech and humbly accepts advice. The Great Tang is barely able to manage under his rule.”
However, Lin Xuan still spoke because Old Li was generous.
Thud!
The moment these words were said, the silly smile on Li Er's face froze. Old Sun, who was at the side, was also dumbfounded.
What the f * ck was this?
Was it good or bad?
"Look at the two of you, you two are so silly. It's obvious that you haven't studied, right?”
"Let me tell you, the Tang Dynasty inherited the system of the Sui Dynasty. Although the Great Tang is currently peaceful and prosperous, most of its foundations were built on the Sui Dynasty.”
"Moreover, the Great Tang has been in chaos for many years, so its population and economy are far from being able to match up.”
Lin Xuan teased, but what he said was indeed the truth.
It was undeniable that Li Er had contributed greatly to the Zhenguan reign, but the Great Tang was indeed much weaker than the Sui Dynasty in its heyday.
Moreover, if Yang Guang hadn't taken such a big step and hurt the interests of the Guanlong Group, how could he have fallen? How could Li Yuan be supported?
"Of course, the Sage Son of Heaven is still very wise. The Great Tang will only get better and better in the future.”
Just as Li Er's expression became darker and uglier, Lin Xuan added,
This caused Li Er to relax a little, and a smile appeared on his face. He admitted that he was still no match for the Sui Dynasty in its heyday, but he was confident that he could push the Great Tang to its peak.
Old Sun, who was at the side, also heaved a long sigh of relief. He could not help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
This was because as long as Lin Xuan dared to say that the Emperor was wrong, he would directly rush up and attack.
"Then what do you think of the Sage Son of Heaven?”
A moment later, Li Er asked again. He loved it when people flattered him, and he cared a lot about what others thought of him.
In an instant, Old Sun, who was at the side, could not help but tremble violently. The expression on his face was very shocked, and his eyes were wide open.
As a founding hero who fought with the Emperor, how could he not know the meaning of the Emperor's words?
Although he was the one who planned the Black Tortoise Sect incident, the one who was deeply affected was His Majesty!
For a moment, he looked at Lin Xuan, and his face could not help but twitch. This person was very smart and should know how to answer, right?
Pfft--
At this moment, Lin Xuan was also dumbfounded. He could not help but spit a mouthful of old tea on Li Er's face.
Then, Lin Xuan suddenly stood up.
"Old Li, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you!”
