Chapter 72: Ginger is still old and spicy
"It seems that your kid has been prepared for a long time, I wonder what kind of reputation you have for this bottle of wine?" Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian after taking it.
"I don't dare to say that I am not famous, how about my father take a sip and give an evaluation?" Li Chengqian said after smiling.
Li Shimin poured the wine into the glass, and a strong aroma of wine came to his nose. couldn't help but make Li Shimin's eyes light up.
After drinking it, he was full of praise, and after putting down the wine glass, he said to Li Chengqian with a happy face: "I have never drunk this wine, could it be that this is the legendary elixir and jade liquid." ”
"Father, this is brewed by the sons of Shu millet from the ministers, and today I specially brought it to my father to taste. I also hope that my father will give this wine a name. Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Li Shimin picked up the wine glass and took another sip, and after a while, he said: "This wine is quite strong, if I drink this bottle, I am afraid that I will also get drunk." Since this is the case, it is better to call Zhenguan drunk. ”
"Zhenguan drunk is a good name, then this wine will be called Zhenguan drunk from now on. It's just that if the retainers brew and sell this Zhenguan drunk, I'm afraid those imperial histories will say that the retainers compete with the people for profit. Li Chengqian said helplessly.
"Why, do you want to change your career to become a businessman. Aren't you afraid that the ministers of the DPRK and China will jointly impeach you? Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian after putting down the wine glass.
"This is also what the retainer is worried about, so didn't he bring wine to ask his father for advice today? Now that the father has drunk this wine, shouldn't he think of a way for his son? Li Chengqian said with a wicked smile.
Li Shimin sighed and said, "I know that your kid's wine is not so delicious. When the schedule bites the gold, you used this wine to lead you to the Spring Breeze Building, right? ”
Li Chengqian didn't say anything, just scratched his head with a smile.
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Well, who made you my son?" Go ahead and do it, I'll do the rest. ”
Li Chengqian was naturally very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the wine bottle and poured another glass for Li Shimin.
Then he smiled and said, "Then thank you father." ”
"Don't be in a hurry to say thank you first, you can listen to me finish talking first. How can you thank me for helping you like this? Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian with a smile.
"Father can rest assured, in the future, my father will want to drink as much as he wants." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"I'm the king of a country, can I just send away a few bottles of wine? I want 50% of the profit. Li Shimin smiled and said.
"One percent, one percent at most. Absolutely no more. Li Chengqian said categorically.
In fact, the moment Li Shimin spoke, Li Chengqian had already thought of what Li Shimin was going to do. Therefore, Li Chengqian did not plan to eat alone.
After all, having the big tree of his father, His Majesty Li Er, to shelter himself from the wind and rain, it is definitely something that cannot be desired.
"Forty percent, this is my last bottom line." Li Shimin stretched out four fingers and said to Li Chengqian.
"Twenty percent, most of the ministers will not agree." Li Chengqian shook his head and said.
"Since that's the case, then you can stay in Yiqiu Palace honestly." Li Shimin said with an indifferent expression.
"Since my father said it, my sons naturally didn't dare to resist the decree. But in this way, there will be nothing to do, so the craftsman who will be the prisoner will not be needed. ”
"Did my father order them back, or did my son send them back?" Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin with a smile.
Li Shimin didn't expect that Li Chengqian would be waiting for him here. Although he secretly scolded Li Chengqian in his heart, he had an indifferent expression on his face.
I remember that at that time, the master craftsman approached Li Shimin and said that Li Chengqian's construction of Yiqiu Palace was definitely an unprecedented innovation.
Therefore, I hope that Li Shimin can let Lu Yan teach the craftsman who will be the prisoner. even wanted to include Lu Yan as a prisoner.
At that time, Li Shimin shook his head and told the master craftsman not to daydream. Li Chengqian's advantage is not easy to take advantage of, and if he doesn't get it right, he will lose his wife and lose his army.
In the end, Li Shimin thought of a way, that is, to pour out the prisoner and secretly learn art in the name of helping Li Chengqian build Yiqiu Palace.
Seeing Li Shimin's expression pretending to be indifferent, Li Chengqian opened his mouth and shouted to Xiao Guizi: "Xiao Guizi, go back and tell Lu Yan." Let's just say that Yiqiu Palace will temporarily suspend construction and let him send back the craftsman who will be the supervisor. ”
Xiao Guizi turned around and was about to leave, but Li Shimin couldn't sit still. So he opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "Sancheng, if you still don't want to." Then there is no need to delay the construction of Yiqiu Palace, just stop building it directly. ”
Li Chengqian naturally knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it, so he said to Li Shimin reluctantly: "Okay, who made you my father." ”
Seeing Li Chengqian's distressed face, Li Shimin couldn't be happier in his heart. Then he said with a smile on his face: "I'm not just talking about Zhenguan drunk, but your 21st century." ”
"Damn, father, you're too lion-mouthed. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world, if there is, you tell your son. Li Chengqian actually burst into foul language directly.
"You can consider it, or live in your cold palace for the rest of your life. Or just run your 21st century. Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said.
"Okay, you're my father, who made you my father. Three achievements are three percent, but the father can't take profits in vain. Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said.
"Let's hear it and see if I can do it." Li Shimin said with a playful face.
"Since ancient times, merchants have been lowly people, and the sons of merchants are not allowed to become officials. What the son wants from his father today is to prevent businessmen in the 21st century from becoming lowly citizens. Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.
"That's fine, if you're willing to give them a half-job. I can set up a new yamen for you. Li Shimin said with a smile.
"If Erchen really wants to establish a yamen, then this 21st century may not be Erchen's. So Erchen thank you for your kindness. Li Chengqian waved his hand with a sad face and said.
"Even if you kid still has some knowledge, this matter is settled. In the 21st century, I will make 30% of all business dealings. ”
"All the people under the 21st century are not classified as lowly citizens. For those with outstanding performance, I can make an exception for them to become officials. Li Shimin said.
When the matter was settled, Li Shimin was also in the mood to taste the food. But when I looked at the table at this time, it was already empty.
Turning his head to look at Empress Changsun and Su Wan again, they were chatting enthusiastically. It's as if everything on the table has nothing to do with them.
Li Shimin could only helplessly say to Li Chengqian: "I don't have anything to eat, why don't you make two more dishes?" ”
