The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, some more days passed.

On the ninth day of the eighth month, the whole Chang'an City was very lively, and people all walked to the streets to celebrate.

Because today is the first day of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne as emperor.

And the title is Zhenguan in the year.

And the reward is very rich, and dozens of people have been rewarded for the name of the prince alone.

Of course, these people must include people like Cheng Yanjin and Fang Xuanling.

It was also this day that Ye Ping's tavern was surprisingly quiet.

He was a little confused.

It's been a long time since I've been so idle as I am today.

However, there is a benefit to being a little idle, and he has time to take care of the vegetables in the backyard.

So, he simply closed the door and stopped opening.

During this period of time, the house has also been repaired.

The overall frame has also come out, just a few additions, and then some furniture.

This new home is complete.

He won't have to live in a tavern anymore.

In the evening.

Xue Rengui suddenly broke into the backyard, and he said breathlessly: "Brother Ye, there is actually a court in the East Market that has begun to sell refined salt, and the price is similar to the salt sold by the Wang family, and now it is also overcrowded!" I also bought a pack and came back, and it was of the same quality as the salt in our tavern. ”

A bag of salt appeared in Xue Rengui's hand, and he took it and handed it to Ye Ping.

"Huh? Is Lao Li so fast? What a surprise. ”

Ye Ping muttered.

He still underestimated Li Shimin, but he didn't expect him to move so fast, and he actually made refined salt when he ascended the throne and began to sell it. may also be because he is about to ascend the throne, in order to increase his bargaining chips for his ascension to the throne and let people know that he, Li Shimin, has the ability to govern the world.

At the same time, it can be regarded as a war post with the Wang family, so that the Wang family knows that he Li Shimin is not Li Yuan, and he will not be at the mercy of others.

This salt is only the first time to fight.

"Is it really Lao Li who did it? This person is really powerful, the eldest brother gave him the salt formula, and he handed it over to His Royal Highness the Prince, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ascended the throne, and he will make a lot of money in the future! ”

Xue Rengui's tone was a little wrong, in his opinion, this was originally what Ye Ping wanted to do, so why did he let Lao Li get it.

If he knew that Lao Li was Li Shimin, everything would be easy to explain.

"Rengui, this money will never be earned, and we can't make this money separately, and we can't handle the salt mine alone, we have to come to the imperial court, don't you think we're doing it now?"

This money really has to be earned by Li Shimin, he must be accurate in every attack, and he must let Li Shimin have something, otherwise Li Shimin will not come to him next time.

Maybe there will be a direct showdown next time, because Ye Ping has no value to use.

Where, even if Li Shimin makes some money, so what?

There were a lot of internal and external troubles in the early years of Zhenguan, and these things were enough for Ye Ping to play.

"I'm just complaining about my big brother! You should raise more money and let Lao Li pay more. He has earned so much, and he should give some of it. ”

Xue Rengui said.

Ye Ping understands him, but he has a better plan, if he just makes money, then he can do anything.

At this time, Mrs. Xue didn't know when she was standing on the side.

She said: "Rengui, the shopkeeper must have thought it out after careful consideration, you just protect him well, and let him do the rest!" ”

She believes that everything Ye Ping wants to do must have his reasons, otherwise he would not be able to attract so many celebrities.

In fact, she may have guessed Lao Li's identity, she can come three times and twice, and she must not be an unknown person.

Not only money, but also power.

Ye Ping admires her way of doing things very much. If you waste the opportunity to make a lot of money in the future for the sake of small money, it is not only stupid, it is stupid.

The so-called great wisdom is foolish, and that's what it says.

It looks like a loss, but it's actually taking a big advantage.

"Mrs. Xue, who knows me!"

Ye Ping laughed and said.

Mrs. Xue said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's what I observed recently." ”

No matter what, she is still very powerful, worthy of being the queen of everyone.

Speaking of which, she is.

Ye Ping suddenly thought of something.

"Rengui!"

"What's the matter, big brother?"

"Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching on August 15, I heard that there are lanterns held in the West Market recently, why don't you take Mrs. Xue to see it, it's boring enough to stay at home! It's better to go for a break or something. ”

Since Mrs. Xue came here, she basically hasn't gone out, just let Xue Rengui take her out.

In addition, Xue Rengui has been very busy recently, and it is time to take a good rest.

Don't do things all the time, you can't finish it.

In Datang, the curfew will be lifted when there is a big festival, so that the people can participate in it, and the people also like this kind of festival very much, so once they encounter this kind of festival, everyone will have fun.

For example, guessing lanterns, admiring the moon, drinking, and literati chanting poems and lyrics for pairing, etc.

When Xue Rengui heard this, he exclaimed.

"Why didn't I expect that I heard people say just now that this year, because of His Royal Highness the Prince's accession to the throne, it is the largest lantern banquet in years. Mother, let's go out and have a look later, shall we? You can also buy some rouge gouache and come back to dress up. ”

It's getting dark now, and it's best to set off at this time.

Just in time for the evening, you can check out the beautiful lanterns.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xue glared at Xue Rengui, which pot can't be opened.

After that, he turned to Ye Pingzhi again.

"It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, the shopkeeper, you are also together, right?"

Mrs. Xue was invited.

Yes, many people go to see it together, and that's the excitement.

"Big brother, you should come along, the three of us will go together, by the way, I see that you don't seem to be in a good mood recently."

Xue Rengui also persuaded him.

During this period of time, Ye Ping rarely went out.

In that case, it is better to take this opportunity to go out for a walk.

"Okay, I'll get ready!"

Ye Ping still agreed.

"That's great! It's rare for three of us to be together! ”

Xue Rengui said.

After that, the mother and son waited for Ye Ping in the same place.

It took about a while for Ye Ping to come out, so the three of them went to the West Market.

When they headed for the West Market, they were followed by several big men, who followed in plain clothes.

Regarding the following of these people, Ye Ping knew that these people were the people sent by Li Shimin to protect him.

Li Shimin really has a heart, for fear that something will happen to him, or someone will secretly be unfavorable to him, with these people, Ye Ping can basically go sideways.

No matter how bad it is, Xue Rengui is there.
