Yu Tai on the side couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness, now that the people are hard, many families can't even eat two meals of gruel a day, so they can only collect wild vegetables to survive. A year's worth of food for three people is enough to ensure that no one in their family will starve to death! ”

Li Chengqian looked up at the sky, not knowing what to say about this damn era.

A group of soldiers, crying and crying for allegiance just because no one in their family will starve to death?

Starve?

The world is really too difficult!

After the shouting subsided, Li Chengqian stretched out three fingers and said seriously: "Three days, I only give you three days." You can take the money that Gu has given you and the salary of this month's soldiers, and go home to visit your relatives. Next, there is nothing important, and Lone will not give you a holiday easily. I want you to spend all your time improving your combat power. Do you know that when making the agreement, the father looked at the lonely with pity? What does this mean? It means that he is not optimistic about you. Three years is enough. When the time comes, as long as you can defeat your father's Xuanjia army, you will promise to rebuild the house for your family, and it will be a brick house! Tell Lonely, do you have faith? ”

"Yes!"

After Li Chengqian's speech, which could not be shocked by the ripples of later generations, the soldiers led by the prince himself were eager to shout out their voices.

What powerful news! The prince actually promised to renovate the house for their family? Or a brick house? At this moment, they couldn't wait to find the garrison of the Xuanjia Army immediately and beat them up with men and horses.

Looking at the crazy soldiers, Li Chengqian was extremely embarrassed. Yes, it seems that the people of the Tang Dynasty have no immunity to speeches, and they just promised to build a house, so they let their green tendons burst out one by one, and almost wanted to kill the second pulse of Ren Du.

Pointing to the exit of the barracks, Li Chengqian said: "Now, your three-day holiday has begun, and after three days, I want to see you appear here when you are full, and if you don't appear, you don't need to come in again." ”

It is very strange that as soon as Li Chengqian's words fell, the soldiers did not go to the copper coin cart to receive the soldiers' pay and reward, but rushed to the craftsmen to help the craftsmen work.

Yu Tai chuckled softly: "It seems that they want to complete the construction of the training ground in advance." ”

After speaking, Yu Tai smiled again: "Your Highness, it is no wonder that General Mo did not remind you that the promise you made requires a lot of copper coins to complete!" I'm afraid that the little bit you are sharing in the prison is not enough to accomplish these things. ”

Glancing at Yu Tai contemptuously, Li Chengqian snorted coldly, not even bothering to speak.

If you don't have enough money, you still need this foolish reminder?

Not to mention the soldiers' salaries and building houses, it is the consumption of these 2,000 people on the way to training in the future, which is a large amount of expenses.

If you want to maintain such a strenuous exercise, you have to make up for protein, vitamins, and all kinds of things! Just relying on the dividends of wheelchairs, tables and chairs and other things is already a bit of a drop in the bucket. After all, the main sales range of the things that will be produced by the supervisor is still in Chang'an City, because they are worried about the water cracking of the tenon, and the merchants from other places will not choose to buy the goods and sell them locally. And Yan Lide obviously has no intention of opening a branch for the time being.

You can't expect to be a prisoner, you can only think of other ways to make money.

Jumping off the chair, Li Chengqian naturally walked behind Li Gang's wheelchair and pushed the old gentleman towards the carriage.

The affairs of the military camp can be handed over to Yu Tai, and now for him, the most important issue is to make money first.

Li Gang, who was shrunk in a wheelchair, closed his eyes again after feeling that it was Li Chengqian who pushed the wheelchair.

When the master and apprentice boarded the carriage, Li Gang smiled and said, "Knowing that money is not easy to come by?" When I saw you complacent about the dividends that will be imprisoned, the old man reminded you like a word. Now that you've taken on such a heavy burden, you feel powerless, right? There are still one or two shops in the old man's house, you tell An Ren, take the money from the old man's house for emergency first! ”

Li Chengqian looked at the face full of old age spots and was very moved. This is Li Gang, Mr. Li. When the Turks attacked, the old gentleman only gave a word of advice, but when he saw that the advice was fruitless, he chose to live and die with his disciples.

It's the same now, seeing his predicament, the old gentleman just blamed slightly, and then directly used all his family wealth as help. This is no longer an ordinary teacher-student relationship, and the old gentleman gives him the feeling that he is more like a good friend who has missed the times.

Hehe smiled, Li Chengqian said indifferently: "It's just money, the disciple wants it, there are countless ways to get it." Look, in less than two months, the disciples will be able to scrape together the expenses needed by the barracks, do you believe it or not? ”

Li Gang opened his eyes, looked at Li Chengqian seriously, and finally chose not to believe it.

didn't see the old gentleman's affirmative gaze, which made Li Chengqian a little sad.

Stretching out a hand, Li Chengqian said indifferently: "Master Li, why don't we make a bet between the master and the apprentice." If the disciple wins, how about you give your guqin to the disciple? ”

Li Gang's guqin was only taken for him once. I don't know how many years this guqin has been, and the old man regards it as a treasure, and even plans to take the guqin away as a burial companion after death, and does not intend to leave it for future generations at all.

Li Gang also stretched out his hand indifferently: "Bet, if the old man wins, your kid will honestly ask the court for help." It's nothing to put down your face for the time being, and being too proud all the time is your biggest problem. ”

Li Chengqian nodded, a veteran hand, and a small hand high-fived three times to finalize this agreement.

The carriage returned to Chang'an, and after pushing the old gentleman to the bedroom to rest, Li Chengqian immediately called the eunuch "Fang Sheng" of the East Palace.

Lao Fangsheng used to be the procurement eunuch of the palace, and he was very familiar with all parts of Chang'an.

After calling Fang Sheng, Li Chengqian said seriously: "Fang Sheng, Gu knows, you are proficient in the sale of goods in various places in Chang'an, and you know the big businessmen in various fields. Now, Lone will allow you to leave the palace and call all the people who want Lone to the East Palace. ”

Fang Sheng immediately nodded, picked up the pen and paper on the table, and began to record the types of merchants that Li Chengqian said.

....

Pingkang Fang - Yongsheng Wine Fang

As the red light district of Chang'an, Pingkangfang can be called the first in Chang'an in terms of alcohol consumption. Yongsheng Distillery, on the other hand, occupies more than eighty percent of Pingkangfang's wine consumption.

Although Xuanling of Liang Guogongfang is behind Yongsheng Distillery, it can occupy such a large share, not by its relationship, but by its own wine quality.

Anyone who has drunk the wine of Yongsheng Distillery knows that Chang'an can no longer find a restaurant that can compete with Yongsheng Distillery. Even the imperial palace came to him from time to time to procure.

As the big shopkeeper of Yongsheng Distillery, Zhao Yongsheng has long been no longer the shopkeeper of the open face, but retired behind the scenes and began to enjoy his semi-retired life.
