The Sharpness of a Merchant!
Li Shiming watched the delicious fish soup enter his daughter's stomach bit by bit. He felt a chill in his heart and swallowed his saliva.
Everyone knew that the current Emperor Li Shimin was a wise ruler. He had reformed the military and changed agriculture, allowing the Great Tang to slowly enter the beginning of a prosperous era.
However, no one knew that Li Shi Min was also a foodie.
The royal chefs in the palace had to leave the palace every day to look for new delicacies.
Li Shiming was obsessed with food.
Those who liked it were those who couldn't move when they saw it.
Just like now, Li Shiming had wanted to teach Zhou Ru some things, but after seeing the fish soup, he forgot about it.
He looked at the fish soup that was getting lesser and lesser, swallowing his saliva. Even Li Jiage could see it clearly.
"That…"
Li Jiage took a sip of the fish soup that Zhou Ru fed him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhou Ru looking at her gently and saying softly,""Be good and drink the soup. I made this especially for you. Your body is too weak and your foundation is not good.”
Li Jiage pursed his lips when he heard Zhou Ru's words, and he gave up on the idea of giving Li Shiming soup.
It wasn't that she was unfilial. On the contrary, even though Li Jiage was treated so lightly, she never bore a grudge against Li Shiming.
She was really too sensible, so sensible that it made one's heart ache.
However, Li Jiage was already married, so she had to think for her husband.
This was the soup that her husband had specially made for her. If she didn't finish it all and let her father drink it, her husband might be sad.
Therefore, Li Jiage could only look away, not looking at Li Shiming's pitiful eyes, and obediently drink the soup.
My husband is so good to me, I can't let him be sad. I'm so full, but I must finish it all. I must make my husband happy.
Father, I'm sorry. I'll be filial to you in the future.
Hearing Li Jiage's inner thoughts, Zhou Ru looked up at Li Jiage's obedient expression and sighed in his heart.
Why was his little wife so obedient?
If she was so obedient, she would be bullied in the future.
After he finished feeding the bowl of fish soup, he glanced at the claypot. There was still a bowl of soup left.
His little wife was clearly full, but she still did not say anything and looked at him happily. She was afraid that she would be sad and disappointed if she could not finish drinking. She was so obedient that it made his heart ache.
Zhou Ru picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of Li Jiage's mouth. He said gently,""Although you need to nourish your body, you have to do it step by step. This is enough.”
This was the first time a man had wiped the corner of her mouth.
And it was so gentle…
And it was in front of his father…
Li Jiage's face unknowingly turned rosy again. She blinked her big, shy eyes and nodded obediently. Her voice was soft as she said,""Alright, I'll listen to my husband."
Li Shimin, who had witnessed the scene of the dog abuse, said,“……”
His eyelids twitched.
Not only did he not get to drink the delicious fish soup, but he also saw such a disgusting scene. Li Shimin felt a complicated feeling in his heart.
It was not good for young people to be so clingy.
Sniff!
However, at this moment, Li Shiming's nose suddenly twitched. He suddenly smelled an extremely fragrant scent approaching him.
He quickly looked over and saw a bowl of fish soup in front of him.
He looked up and saw Zhou Ru saying,""Your Majesty must be thirsty. If Your Majesty doesn't mind this bowl of fish soup, it can moisten your mouth.”
Her words were pleasant to hear.
Young people should be so bored!
What a good son-in-law!
Li Shi Min praised Zhou Ru three times in his heart. He was afraid that Zhou Ru would go back on his word, so he took the fish soup.
"Zhen is indeed a little thirsty.”
Li Shi Min pretended to be drunk, and then he started to drink it in big gulps as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it from him.
As soon as the fish soup entered his mouth, his eyes suddenly opened and lit up.
Fragrant!
Fresh!
This freshness was something he had never tasted before.
As the fish soup entered his stomach, Li Shiming felt a warm current flowing through every corner of his body. He felt as if he was swimming in the ocean.
That feeling, that feeling.
It was really great!
Zhou Ru quietly listened to Li Shiming's inner shouting and couldn't help but sigh.
As expected of an emperor.
There was really a lot of drama in his heart.
It was just a sip of fish soup, but he felt like he was swimming in the sea.
If he was given fried chicken one day, wouldn't he grow a pair of wings and fly up to the sky, side by side with the sun?
Li Shi Min quickly finished the bowl of fish soup. After putting down the bowl, he smacked his lips, still wanting more.
It was really too delicious.
However, when he looked at the clay pot, it was already empty.
He could only sigh in his heart. He was too late. Should he have arranged for a confidant to keep an eye on the kitchen of the Fuma's residence at 24/7? If there was anything delicious, he would tell him so that he could come over in time to get a meal?
Li Shi Min fell into deep thought.
"..." Zhou Ru also fell into deep thought.
Princess Xiang Cheng looked at the two people who were deep in thought and also fell into deep thought."What are they thinking about?"
Only the slow-reacting maid Yu Mei was still looking at the three people who were deep in thought in confusion. She did not know if she had missed something.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly woke them up from their deep thoughts.
"Come in." Zhou Ru said.
Then, he saw the butler walk in with some medicine bags. The butler bowed to Zhou Ru and said,"Fuma, the medicine has been brought back.”
Zhou Ru looked at the number of medicine packets and frowned. He said,"Not enough?"
The butler was afraid that Zhou Ru would think that he had not put in any effort, so he quickly explained," Fuma, it's not that I don't care, but... I've sent people to search all the medicine stores in Chang 'an City, but I still haven't gathered the medicine that Fuma wants."”
"Can't gather enough?"
Zhou Ru was puzzled.
That shouldn't be the case.
He was worried that he would not be able to gather the required herbs, so he had replaced several rare herbs. He had chosen the most common ones, so there was no reason why he could not gather them.
"Which herbs haven't you gathered?"
The butler hurriedly gave the name list to Zhou Ru.
Zhou Ru took a glance and frowned even more.
These herbs were the most common. Their main function was to relieve pain and eliminate inflammation.
There was no reason why they couldn't gather enough.
Chang 'an was the capital of the Tang Empire, with a population of nearly a million. It was impossible for such a fertile land to be lacking in common medicines.
Zhou Ru was a businessman and knew the laws of the market. This was definitely against the laws of the market.
There was only one possibility for such a situation to happen.
Zhou Ru narrowed his eyes.
In the relationship of supply and demand, the supply was in short supply, which could only mean that there was a lack of goods. However, these medicinal herbs were very common. They were not rare and precious medicinal herbs, and there was no such thing as a lack of raw materials. That was... someone had purchased them wantonly.
However, it was difficult to raise the price of these common medicines by too much, so the possibility of merchants hoarding them to raise the price was not high.
In that case, there was only one possibility…
Zhou Ru was able to become the richest man in the world in his previous life because of his keen insight into the market.
And now, through a few medicinal herbs, he was keenly aware of some problems.
He glanced at Li Shi Min, his eyes flashing…
"Your Majesty, has the palace purchased these herbs on a large scale?" Zhou Ru suddenly asked.”
Li Shi Min looked at the list and shook his head,"No, why did the palace purchase so many medicines?”
Then, it wasn't Li Shiming's doing.
Zhou Ru glanced at his little wife again. Li Jiage's big eyes were secretly looking at him. When he saw him looking over, he was like a frightened deer. He hurriedly lowered his head, and his face turned even redder.
Zhou Ru was so adorable by his little wife.
He took a deep breath. His little wife was so kind. She definitely couldn't bear to see the country fall and her family perish. She definitely couldn't bear to see the people become homeless.
Forget it...
He would not let his wife see such a cruel world.
Zhou Ru looked at Li Shi Min and said,"Your Majesty, go and investigate. I guess someone might want to rebel."”
"Ding! The host has prevented cruel things from appearing in his little wife's life. The host is rewarded with a wheelchair blueprint.”
