Chapter 18: War "Wealth"

The second day of the Weishui Alliance

After the Weishui Alliance, Li Shimin made up his mind to wash away the shame of Gaozu's submission to the Turks, coupled with the rampant Turks, and adopted a policy of preparing for war. He ordered the implementation of the "Wenzhi" strategy, determined to fight back against the Turks, strive to develop the economy of the Tang Dynasty, and restore productivity!

About to separate, Li Ke and Brother Liu asked each other for their addresses, and before leaving, Brother Liu whispered: Zimu...... Didn't you always want to ask my name? Liu Xia is coming!

"Uh...... Stay? Li Kexin said: If you want to know your name, you don't have to stay, right?

Turned his head and said: Brother Liu! When we get together in the future, I am homesick now...... Can't stay!

…… I said my name is Liu Xia!

Burst...... Ha ha...... Stay! Li Ke smiled and found that Brother Liu's face was a little ugly, and hurriedly said: "What's that...... There will be a period later! After saying that, he rode in the direction of home......

Finally, when he came to the door of the house, Li Ke pulled the reins, slowed down the horse, and saw through the fence that Pear Blossom was chopping vegetables by the stove, and Li's mother was cooking! Father Li didn't know why he went!

Li Ke came to the door, used the door to block himself, pinched his nose and said: Is anyone at home?

"Who?"

The voice of pear blossoms came from the courtyard, and Li Ke said again: Oh! I'm a passer-by, and I'm a little thirsty here, can I borrow a bowl of water to drink?

Pear Blossom felt a little strange, and said in her heart: Now that the city is closed, there is a war outside, and he said that he is thirsty, and he must have traveled a long way!

When I came to the fence and looked out, I saw a white horse standing outside, and a horizontal knife was attached to the saddle! Suddenly I already understood in my heart, and forcibly suppressed my excitement! The white horse suddenly turned his head and saw the pear blossom, and suddenly: hiss~ hum~ raised his front hooves and wanted to run over, Li Ke suddenly turned his head, grabbed the horse's reins, and made a "shhhhhh gesture......

Pear Blossom flashed to the side, "cough cough" twice, and said: There is no water, we have drunk it all! Let's look elsewhere......

Forehead...... I'm still a little ......

Li Kegang wanted to say that I was still a little hungry, but I only listened to Lihua Dao: We are poor people, we have no food to eat, we can only eat soil, why don't you eat some soil outside?

Groove ...... Cowhide!

Li Ke suddenly couldn't pretend anymore, and said: Open the door! I am back!

Who are you?

"I'm your husband!"

Squeak~ The door was opened, and Pear Blossom suddenly pounced on Li Ke, hugged him tightly, and sobbed in a low voice, for fear that Li Ke would disappear in the next second......

Li Ke gently patted Lihua's back and said, "Don't cry, didn't I come back safely......

Mother Li also walked over from the stove, and when she saw that it was Li Ke who was back, she immediately shouted: God bless!

Lihua hurriedly pushed Li Ke away, wiped her tears, and walked aside, Li's mother ran to reach out and touch Li Ke's arm, chest, and back to look left and right, for fear that Li Ke would be a good one!

Where's my dad?

Mother Li smiled and said: Your father went to your father-in-law's house! When you come back later, you go back to the house first, take a break, and I'll cook right away!

I'll take a hand too! After Pear Blossom finished speaking, she walked to the stove with Mother Li!

Li Ke returned to the Taoist hall, sat on the bench, held the reward received by the conscription in his hand, and threw it on the table! However, at this time, he didn't care about money, he cared about Qin Qiong!

Until now, he didn't understand why Qin Qiong brought himself up alone and brought him to Weishui! Then I didn't do anything and slipped around and came back......

Qin Qiong didn't explain it, which made Li Ke want to break his head...... The more Li Ke thought about it, the more he said in his heart: Will his arrival break the original history? If it is broken and there is a chain reaction, will there be me after that?

Li Ke suddenly had a headache, stretched out his right hand and rubbed his temples......

Pear Blossom walked in, saw Li Ke sitting on a chair, with a worried face, and said, "Husband...... Why are you so sad?

Yes? Oh! It's okay, I'm just thinking, how can I make my flowers eat and dress warmly...... "Ah! My husband is getting more and more open-mouthed......" Lihua suddenly said shyly when she heard Li Ke call herself "Huahua".

Li Ke said: Aren't you going to help your mother cook? What's wrong with it? "Mother said that you don't need my help, let me come and talk to you! Hee-hee! Rika laughed, and although her eyes were a little red from crying, they were still beautiful!

Li Ke told Pear Blossom what happened after the conscription......

"Ke'er is back" Suddenly, Li Ke and Lihua heard the voice of Li Li's mother! "Cole is back?? Thankfully, God has eyes! Father Li's excited voice trembled a little, and he immediately raised his leg to find Li Ke, but Father Li stopped and thought for a while, and then "cough" twice......

"Daddy!" Li Ke and Lihua saw Li's father and shouted. "Hmmm! It's good to be back, it's good to be back! Father Li didn't show excitement like Mother Li, but said lightly.

Li Ke looked at Father Li and smiled, although Father Li showed a faint look, but he could still hear the suppressed emotions of Father Li from his voice, causing his voice to be a little hoarse and trembling!

This voice made Li Ke choke a little choked up, and Li Ke took out a bottle of "Wu Niang liquid" and said: Dad...... Drink?

"Good!"

The family sat on the table, and Li's father took a sip of "Wu Niang Liquid" and exclaimed: Why is this wine so fragrant and mellow?

This is the wine made by my master Tianjizi, and it is made from five kinds of grains...... Ah! Li Ke suddenly paused and said: I almost forgot!

The family looked at Li Ke and didn't know what Li Ke meant?

Li Ke didn't say much, took out a bottle of "red wine" from the bracelet, and said: This is red wine, which is specially for women to drink, and it can be used for beauty...... Forehead...... It can make the skin smooth and beautiful, and most importantly, it can alleviate aging......

Mother Li and Pear Blossom heard that it can make the skin better and delay aging, and suddenly, the mother and daughter began to rush to drink, Pear Blossom took a sip and said: Woo... It's bitter...... Hey? Something sweet......

"Daddy! That thing?! ”

What's up? Father Li was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously.

When Li Ke heard what Father Li said, he was suddenly shocked and sweated!

Mother Li wondered: What is the matter?

Li Ke hurriedly said: I want to open a shop, and that night the child gave my father two taels of silver, and asked my father to help me buy a shop! Because I'm a new soldier, I probably won't go to the battlefield, stay and have a better chance of defending the city!

If I go to the battlefield, I will ask my father to find Fan Long or Fan Hu, two brothers, and choose a shop in the city! Because the Turks were about to attack Chang'an, some shops were in a hurry to sell them, for fear that after the Turks came in, their stores would suffer losses...... So I want to take advantage of this opportunity to buy the next store!

Li Ke turned his head, looked at Li's father and said, "I told my father the night I left...... Forgot? Or is Daddy drunk?

"Hahaha...... Look at my son, how can a father forget? Father Li said with a smile.

Li Ke suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said: How many silver taels did you spend?

Father Li took a breath, glanced at Mother Li, and said, "Ten taels of silver!" Half of our belongings ......"

"Well, it's less than I expected......" Li Ke nodded, and before he finished speaking, he saw Li's mother widen her eyes, open her mouth wide, and suddenly roared: Ah! Ten taels!? Loser......

Li Ke covered his ears and said: Hey! Mother! You believe in the child, and the child can make it a hundred taels ~ one thousand taels......

"Don't shout, I believe Cole!" Father Li suddenly said loudly.

————————————————————

The Chang'an City Gate has been lifted, and Li Ke and Li's father and son are wandering around the city......

"Daddy! Where is the location? ”

"It's almost there!"

Finally, Father Li stopped! Pointing ahead......

This shop ...... Familiar! It's so familiar! Isn't this the teahouse where Li Ke and Bai Lao talk about the lollipop business? Li Ke looked at Father Li, smashed his mouth, and asked suspiciously: Just ...... That's it?

Father Li nodded and said, "Hmm! How? Dissatisfied? ”

"Satisfied! So satisfied! Still, Daddy...... The owner of this tea house......

Run! Actually, when you told your father that you wanted to buy a store, that night, I couldn't sleep after thinking about it! So he came out for a stroll, and unconsciously came to the outside of the city, and found that there was no curfew in the city, and there was no lockdown......

Suddenly, a chubby man stopped me in a hurry and asked me if I wanted to buy the shop, he said that he had a big shop with a very cheap price, and took out the deed......

When Li Ke heard this, he said in his heart: it...... This can also be done?

Cole! What are you trying to sell? Father Li asked suspiciously.

Hey! Li Ke smiled and said: When the time comes, I will know that I will not open a teahouse anyway!
