Chapter 173: Li Erlang was humiliated repeatedly
"Teacher......" Chen Zhengtai hurriedly chased out.
Li Chengqian was more cowardly this time, he could feel his father's anger at this time, so he ...... Deliberately hid behind.
Li Shimin glanced back at the dilapidated silk shop, his chest heaving.
Finally suppressed the anger in his heart, he said calmly: "If he dared to talk to me like this a few years ago, I would never spare him." ”
Chen Zhengtai nodded, he believed in this, that is, Li Shimin became the emperor and cultivated well, otherwise, according to his nature of being a massacre, to be honest, the shopkeeper had a hundred heads, which was not enough to cut off.
"The teacher raised his noble hand and spared his dog's life, which is the true benevolence and righteousness. The so-called benevolence and righteousness does not lie in whether a person is kind to others, but in the fact that those who have the power of life and death can not kill easily, which is the real benevolence and righteousness. ”
Li Shimin glanced at Chen Zhengtai, his mood was slightly better, and he immediately ...... I began to think about it.
Li Shimin said: "Chen Zhengtai...... Could it be that the East Market and the West Market are really not as good as this black market? Would the merchants rather trade in such a place than go to the East and West markets? ”
Chen Zhengtai coughed, and in the face of Li Shimin's questioning, he looked very hesitant and said: "There are some things that the student does not dare to say, and if he does, the teacher will say that the student slandered Dai Shangshu." ”
"Then there is no need to say it!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth.
Chen Zhengtai: "......"
Tang Taizong is Tang Taizong, amazing, he doesn't play cards according to common sense.
In fact, Chen Zhengtai even organized his words, but Li Shimin directly plugged his mouth at once, and it was hard not to vomit.
Li Shimin walked through several stores in a row with his hands behind his back, and the situation in almost every store was similar.
Almost all prices have risen considerably.
Even...... Because of the strict inspections of the east and west markets, the cost of transactions has risen greatly, which has pushed the price higher.
Originally, Li Shimin thought ...... This is just a sky-high price for businessmen, but who knows, the people who come and go hear the price, although they also bargain, but they don't pay much, but they immediately take out the money and buy the goods happily and leave.
Other words......
The silk of more than 70 yuan and one foot did not deliberately quote a high price, and the shopkeeper still had a conscience.
This iron-clad fact was in front of him, and the more Li Shimin thought about it, the more angry he became.
Can be ...... at the same time The more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand, but he didn't ask Chen Zhengtai because he claimed to be an extremely smart person!
I'm not smart, how do I do the emperor's?
Thus...... As he walked, he pondered.
Unconscious, an ancient temple...... In front of Li Shimin, in front of the mountain gate, the words 'Chongyi Temple' were written.
It is also funny to say, this temple is a pure land of Buddhism, but the name Chongyi, Chongyi two words, obviously incompatible with Buddhism.
What's more interesting is that since the name of this place is Chongyi, the people who can come and go here have nothing to do with righteousness at all, because most of the merchants here wear hats and round-necked shirts.
The so-called righteousness is not in charge of money, if you are righteous and angry, what kind of business do you do, you will already fucking hit the street.
This made Chen Zhengtai think of a hard-working author in later generations, this person wrote "The Lost Son of the Ming Dynasty", "The Romance of the Concubine" and other books, the so-called diligent is not a code, but this person is diligent, urging the monthly ticket still has to grind and chirp, but to be scolded by others, it can be seen that the world is strange and bizarre, and people's hearts are unpredictable.
Zhang Qian said behind him: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, why don't you ......?"
Li Shimin looked at the sky, and then found that the sun was gradually setting, and the sky was slightly darker.
He said coldly: "It's getting late, so I'll stay here." ”
Zhang Qian subconsciously said: "Don't go back to the palace......"
Li Shimin turned around and glanced at Zhang Qian with sharp eyes.
Zhang Qian was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head.
Immediately, Li Shimin directly brought people in, and a welcoming monk stepped forward: "Is the donor here to add sesame oil?" ”
"No." Li Shimin said unceremoniously.
The welcoming monk said, "Then, the donor, please go back." ”
Chen Zhengtai sighed behind Li Shimin, hey...... I've got to break the bank again, I'm so miserable!
But what can be done?
So Chen Zhengtai took out an IOU, which was the face value of ten times, and stuffed it into the hand of the welcoming monk.
When the welcoming monk looked at this IOU, his eyes lit up.
Obviously, here, people still recognize the IOUs of the Chen family, and there are not many opportunities to receive IOUs in this Chongyi Temple, because the vast majority of merchants are very stingy, and the denomination of IOUs is not small.
This welcoming monk is obviously here, but also seen the world, he carefully checked the IOU, the IOU is the Chen family's special paper written, this kind of paper only the Chen family has, ordinary people want to forge, it is impossible. And the handwriting on it...... This handwriting is no longer a handwritten book, but printed with a special printing copper letter, the printing workshop, in this era or unprecedented appearance, and only the Chen family has, this final payment, as well as the signature, the Chen family in order to prevent counterfeiting, even this ink is specially adjusted.
All in all, the only one who can toss such an IOU is the Chen family, and only a little touch and look can distinguish the authenticity.
The welcoming monk immediately smiled, holding this IOU, but he could go to Chen's house to exchange 20,000 yuan directly, and this big money was made of genuine brass, and Tong Su was not deceived.
He immediately said attentively: "A few donors, you want to stay here, we have a good Zen temple here, for distinguished guests like donors, please come with me, our food here is also a must, and the tea we boil, using clear spring water, ordinary places are not drinkable......"
He happily made an introduction, and led Li Shimin and others into a special house.
This is a small courtyard in the temple, not luxurious, but absolutely quiet and quiet, in this ancient temple, the sound of chanting is heard from afar, and there is an indescribable tranquility in my heart.
Li Shimin waited for the welcoming monk to leave, then looked at Chen Zhengtai and said with a strange look: "How much does your Chen family owe?" ”
"Teacher......" Chen Zhengtai corrected: "It can't be said that the Chen family owes money, the Chen family only accounts for forty percent of the shares, the vast majority of it is still the money owed by the palace, as for how much is owed, the student can't figure it out, and the student has to go back and let people count it for a few days to understand." ”
Li Shimin: "......"
Count the days.
The money owed in the palace, isn't that ......
What money I owe?
He couldn't understand it, but ...... Obviously, Chen Zhengtai has a lot of debts, and he looks very calm, he also puts his mind at ease for the time being, and Li Shimin has more important things to think about.
"Teacher, stay here tonight?"
Li Shimin said absentmindedly: "Just stay here, I have something I want to figure out." ”
"If the teacher is only based on imagination, it is impossible to understand the things of the world, I just heard the welcoming monk say, there is a tea shop here, the merchants who stay here always like to drink tea there, you might as well go and see it, but it is best not to let the idle people wait, go...... It will raise suspicions. ”
When Chen Zhengtai said that when the idle people were waiting, his eyes looked at Zhang Qian.
Zhang Qian lifted it up in one breath, but he couldn't swallow it, I'll go, Chen Zhengtai, you G thing......
Before Zhang Qian could refute, Li Shimin nodded.
People are like this, they are all imperceptible, Li Shimin didn't expect this, but now after listening to Chen Zhengtai's words, he acquiesced in his heart, and he bowed his head and said: "Go, I and the prince will go with you." ”
…………
The tea shop is located in a corner of this ancient temple, and there are special monks serving tea and water here.
At this time, it was already dark, and the merchants spoke with various accents, drinking tea with each other and sitting idly and communicating with each other.
Li Shimin and Chen Zhengtai went in and found a place to sit, which immediately attracted people's attention.
The merchants were well-informed, and they heard that someone had rewarded ten pieces of sesame oil money, but they didn't know who this person was.
Many merchants live here permanently, and when they saw the faces of Li Shimin and others, they looked up and down, and saw that Li Shimin's dress was very extraordinary, although it was also an ordinary crewneck shirt, but the texture was rare.
Thereupon...... Someone came up: "Dare to ask where Brother Tai is from?" ”
Li Shimin said lightly: "The surname is Li, call me Erlang." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Li Erlang, haha, isn't it also Erlang today? The surname of the contemptible person is Chen ......"
Chen Zhengtai stood aside, his face strange.
"Dare to ask Li Erlang what kind of business he does?"
Li Shimin's eyes were very sharp, and when he came in, he had a full view of the people here.
The other party was speculating about him, and he was also speculating about everyone here, and said: "What I do is silk trading." ”
"Silk?" This Chen Shangjia was immediately happy: "This silk business, now if you want to find a source of goods, it's not easy, Erlang, if it's with the goods, you have to buy it quickly, and if you don't start, it's too late." ”
Li Shimin said: "Really? Will this price continue to rise? ”
"How not?" Chen Shangjia was happy, and the others couldn't help but smile when they listened to their conversation.
This kind of look, coupled with this kind of gaze, seems to be laughing at Li Erlang for being a fool, with a sense of ridicule.
Li Shimin saw the ridicule in the eyes of these people, he felt that he had been humiliated again today, at this time, he wanted to pull out his knife and cut down all these bastards, but he didn't bring a knife.
Li Shimin clenched his fists, and finally endured his anger before he said: "I heard that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has already severely cracked down on prices, not only that, but the emperor has also issued a decree several times, and the three provinces and six ministries have worked together to make this price ...... Even if you can't calm it down now, I'm afraid it will have to be calmed down in the future. ”
"!" When Chen Shangjia heard this, he actually burst into foul language: "That Dai Xianggong, we have also heard of it, he looks like he wants to stabilize prices, tossing in the east and west markets, but stabilizing prices, hehe...... Just that shoddy method, it frightened people, and after he sent people to the East Market, the prices here rose fiercely. Do you know why? ”
