Although the onlookers couldn't understand poetry, they could see the scholar's expression clearly.
The eight of them had gone from being arrogant to being humble.
He even changed the way he addressed her.
He had changed to Mister.
If he still couldn't understand the situation, he would really be a fool.
Lin Fan helped everyone up.
He had no intention of destroying her confidence.
It was all Big Boss Li's fault.
However, it was also good.
Kill the spirit of these scholars. What if one of them could get in this year?
"Sit, drink. There's no mister here, only a shopkeeper.”
? Lin Fan waved his hand.
Hearing this,
The eight scholars shook their heads like rattle-drums. They waved their hands and declined,"I'm not drinking anymore. Teacher's words woke me up.”
"We won't come back before the exam.”
The spectators who were watching the show also returned to their seats.
"Tell me, is this Shopkeeper Kobayashi stupid? With so many customers gone, how much less money would they earn?”
"I don't think they're very smart either. These scholars have damaged their brains from reading.”
"Keep your voice down. Don't let anyone hear you.”
The crowd discussed softly.
Lin Fan felt gratified. He raised his wine cup and gestured.
"Then I wish the eight of you a glorious return.”
The eight of them cupped their hands again.
"Thank you for your kind words."
Li Shi Min sighed.
This Lin Fan seemed to have an indescribable demonic power.
Whenever she was by his side, she would always feel particularly comfortable.
Moreover, good things would always happen.
Although he was the emperor who came down from a horse, he was also from a prestigious family.
He might not be proficient in all kinds of poetry, but his attainments were definitely not low.
Four short sentences, 28 words.
Borrowing the past to describe the present was even more direct.
This was the purpose of this reform.
Learning to apply was the foundation of the Great Tang's strength!
Lin Fan took a sip of his wine and glanced at the few people who were about to take out their money.
"The wine is free.”
He heard,
The scholar shook his head repeatedly and refused." This won't do. Mister Lin, this is a small business. How can you just let it go?!"”
Pa!
? Lin Fan slammed the table and said angrily," You open the shop or I open the shop?"”
The few of them were in a dilemma.
"This…"
The customers laughed even more happily. They couldn't help but shake their heads. They felt that this shopkeeper really liked to be a good old man.
How silly.
Little did he know that Lin Fan had his own plans.
They didn't order any food and drank a lot of wine.
The wine was not worth much, so it did not matter whether he took the money or not.
If these blind cats really met a dead mouse, wouldn't he make a big profit?
Today, it could be considered as an advertisement for his tavern.
He would just treat it as an investment. It was not a loss anyway.
No matter how one looked at it, Lin Fan was the one who earned the most.
At this moment,
"I, Old Li, will pay for everyone's drinks today.”Li Er was in a good mood. He waved his hand and said straightforwardly,"Everyone, eat and drink as much as you want!”
When everyone heard this, their eyes turned green. There was such a good thing?
He smacked his lips and almost called Lin Fan to serve the dishes and wine.
Why did he meet so many idiots today?
There were fools who didn't accept the money, and there were also fools who rushed to pay.
This world was really strange.
The eight scholars beside him hurriedly shook their heads and took out a few coins."How can we let you pay for the wine we drank?”
Li Shi Min smiled nonchalantly,"It can be considered fate that we met today. Don't reject it. Just treat it as a little reward and don't take it to heart.”
Everyone was in a dilemma.
? Lin Fan said leisurely," Let's go. This Big Boss Li is rich."”
"This is the Lord who won't release his eagle until he sees the rabbit. The few of you have to be careful. In the future, when you enter the court as an official, you must have less contact with him!”
"This old fellow is really bad."
In an instant, everyone in the hall burst into laughter.
The atmosphere instantly became cheerful.
Only Li Shi Min's expression didn't look too good.
Scholar and the others cupped their hands and bid farewell.
The tavern began to become noisy again.
Lin Fan prepared a few dishes.
He sat opposite Li Shiming and started eating and drinking.
After a while.
The hall was finally a little quieter.
? Lin Fan said seriously," Old Li, do you want to do a big business?"”
Li Shiming, who was about to leave and return to the palace, was instantly interested.
"How big is the deal? Tell me."
Lin Fan stuck his head out and said in a low voice,""Store up the rations!"
Li Shi Min's body trembled when he heard this.
The hand holding the cup trembled.
"This isn't famine or war. What's the use of storing food? Brother Lin, don't make fun of me.”Li Shi Min pretended not to care.
Lin Fan walked around the table and sat beside Li Shi Min.
"That's not true. In a few months at most, in a month or two at the fastest, the grain prices will definitely rise!”
！！！
Li Shi Min suppressed the shock in his heart.
"Tell me quickly!"
"What's the wine you're drinking made of?”
Lin Fan shook his cup.
"That's right, it's food."
"The people of Chang 'an like to drink fruit wine, and there are very few high-quality rice wines like mine.”
"I'm not bragging, but I grew up in a pile of rice. I can tell the quality of the rice at a glance.”
As Lin Fan spoke, he moved closer to him and continued,"
"Starting from three days ago, all the rice on the market has been reduced in price, from ten wens to five wens.”
"The price is directly halved!"
Li Shimin was puzzled. What could he see from the price reduction of food?
It was inevitable that the price would drop after the autumn harvest every year.
He was still clear about this.
Lin Fan could see the confusion on Li Shi Min's face.
"It's not surprising that the price has dropped, but the price has dropped too much!”
"I've lived in Chang 'an for ten years. I've been buying rice and making wine with my father since I was young. I've never seen such an abnormal thing.”
"Logically speaking, as the autumn harvest is approaching, the price of grain should remain unchanged or slightly increase to cope with the price drop when the harvest is over.”
"The current situation is extremely abnormal.”
"Therefore, I dare to say that the price of food will definitely skyrocket in the next month to several months!”
Li Shi Min said in disbelief,""You mean…"
Lin Fan nodded his head solemnly and whispered into his ear,""There's going to be a war!"
This was impossible!
Li Shi Min felt a chill run down his spine.
The hand holding the cup was trembling slightly.
Even most of the ministers in the court were unaware of this.
Only a few people, led by Zhangsun Wuji, knew the news.
How did Lin Fan know?
Li Shi Min continued to ask,"In that case, isn't it contradictory according to what you said?”
"If there really is a war, the grain prices will definitely increase.”
Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders and took a sip of wine.
"That's because the current Emperor pities the people and is afraid that we will starve, so he lowered the price in advance.”
"Just look at the few people at that table. They're classic examples of not having enough benefits. You said that you would pay for them. They were about to leave, but in the end, they sat down and drank a few jars.”
"This is human nature. With such a large reduction in prices, the people will definitely store some rations in their homes.”
Lin Fan's lips curled up.
"Therefore, after the autumn harvest in a month or so, the grain prices will soar.”
"The soldiers at the front line must eat their fill. That is the best time for the army to start stockpiling food!”
Bang!
The wine glass in Li Shi Min's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
This was too terrifying!
He could analyze everything based on the change in grain prices.
Not only that.
Even what he thought and did was exactly what he said!
Li Shi Min licked his dry lips.
He saw,
Lin Fan stood up and patted Li Shi Min's shoulder.
"Do you understand? So if you ask me, let's work together and make a fortune!”
