After returning to Qizhou City, Li Ke took Xiao Rui and came from Gao Kan to Jueweixuan. Zhang Baiwei saw Li Ke coming, and hurriedly greeted him in person.

"What kind of wind blew the prince to Juewei Xuan today, and there is a private room for the prince upstairs." Zhang Baiwei said to Li Ke with a flattering expression.

"This king has just returned from Chang'an City, and he has brought good news. I want to cooperate with Shopkeeper Zhang, I don't know what Shopkeeper Zhang wants? Li Ke said to Zhang Baiwei with a smile.

"If the grass people can cooperate with the prince, it is naturally what the grass people can't ask for. Could it be that the prince is going to open this Juewei Xuan to the capital with the grass people? Zhang Baiwei opened his mouth and asked Li Ke.

"It's not this king who wants to cooperate with Shopkeeper Zhang, but the current emperor." Li Ke said to Zhang Baiwei with a smile.

"How can the grass people be so virtuous that the emperor can take a fancy to them. This is really the grass people's ancestral grave is smoking. Zhang Baiwei said with an excited expression.

"If you have anything to say upstairs, Shopkeeper Zhang can't be ready to talk about business with this king right here, right?" Li Ke said with a smile.

"It's the grass people who are negligent for a while, and I ask the prince not to be surprised. The prince invited him to the private room upstairs to wait for a while, and the grass people personally cooked two side dishes for the prince. Zhang Baiwei said apologetically.

Then the shopkeeper sent Li Ke, Xiao Rui, and Gao Kan to the upstairs private room. Then he stood outside the door of the private room in a proper manner.

……

Not long after, Li Yin and the four of them and Laiji, who were disguised, also came to Jueweixuan one after another. The shopkeeper brought them into the private room.

Zhang Baiwei came to the outside of the private room and said to the shopkeeper outside the private room: "Find two more people to come over." Remember, no one is allowed to go up to the third floor without permission. ”

The shopkeeper nodded and turned to leave, and then Zhang Baiwei pushed the door and walked into the private room. The dish was placed on the table.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Ke said: "This king came back from Chang'an City, but with a father's mission, that is, to put condiments on the market. ”

Then Li Ke told everyone in detail about the requirements for the listing of condiments. and ordered Li Shang to start preparing immediately.

After hearing this, Li Shang said: "Lord Wang, rest assured, everything is ready for the Treasure Pavilion now. ”

"Even the condiments, Li Jiang has already produced a part. As long as the prince gives an order, the Treasure Pavilion can be opened for business at any time. ”

Li Ke nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Laiji on the side: "Now that this year has passed, spring plowing will start soon." This king needs 1,000 acres of land, I don't know if you can do it. ”

"The prince doesn't have to worry about this, don't say that 1,000 acres of land is 5,000 acres, and his subordinates can also prepare it for the prince." Laiji said confidently.

After all, the land system implemented in the Tang Dynasty was a uniform land system. That is, the state will distribute the state-owned land to the people for cultivation. and levy military service and taxes on the common people.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, land was a system in which state-owned and private ownership coexisted. It was only after Tang Xuanzong that the situation of land concentration appeared.

Because of the continuous wars in the turbulent times of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the population declined very much. So every state capital has a lot of idle land. There is no one to cultivate at all.

Therefore, preparing some land for Li Ke is really not a problem for Laiji. It can even be said that it is just a gesture.

"Then choose a place for this king to concentrate, preferably close to this king's palace." Li Ke nodded and said.

Then Li Ke said to Xiao Rui: "Although this king has land, he can't cultivate it himself." Therefore, this matter can only be left to the Lord of the King. ”

"There are a lot of people in Qianfo Mountain, and cultivating 1,000 acres of land for the prince is definitely not a problem." Xiao Rui opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

"In that case, let's split up. This king wants to make a qualitative leap in Qizhou City in the new year. ”

"Then he will reach out to the other six states, after all, they are also the fiefdoms of this king." Li Ke nodded and said.

……

In the next few days, Li Ke held a bidding meeting in Jueweixuan. Although everyone knows that Jueweixuan's meals are delicious, no one knows the advantages of these condiments.

Therefore, there were not many people who came to bid, and Li Ke had already prepared the bidding documents for Li Shang. Therefore, Li Shang has the right to sell condiments without any suspense.

Subsequently, the Treasure Pavilion opened lively. And Li Ke also went to cut the ribbon in person. After all, now the Treasure Pavilion is also half of the official sale, so it is reasonable for Li Ke to appear and cut the ribbon.

In the beginning, the sales of condiments were very unsatisfactory. It can even be described as unattended.

In the end, Li Ye thought of a way, that is, to set up a stove in front of the Treasure Pavilion. Make dishes on the spot and let the people taste them for free.

At this time, the reputation of condiments has been hit, and it has changed from no one to a market for a while. There was a long queue of people buying condiments.

……

But Li Ke didn't care too much about these. In addition to hunting in the mountains every day, he went to the Thousand Buddha Mountains to visit Zen and worship the Buddha.

However, Li Ke's Thousand Buddha Mountain Meditation and Buddha worship is fake, but the real purpose is to train the Thousand Buddha Mountain Iron Army. After all, the Qianfoshan Ironclad Army has not fought for a long time, and its combat effectiveness is naturally no longer what it used to be.

It can even be said that the current Qianfoshan Ironclad Army cannot even be compared with ordinary government soldiers. Therefore, Li Ke must train them intensively.

However, Li Keke did not only train them in martial arts, but also carried out ideological education classes for them. As well as the necessary cultural lessons.

After all, for Li Ke, the ironclad army of Thousand Buddha Mountain, plus the 2,000 forbidden army given to him by Li Shimin, is Li Ke's real family background.

It can even be said that it is also where Li Ke will save his life in the future. Of course, Li Ke was not confident that with these thousands of people, he could argue with the imperial court.

Therefore, the Qianfoshan Ironclad Army required by Li Ke must be the elite of the elite. So Li Ke eliminated all the original ironclad armies.

Their descendants inherited their military status and formed the new 3,000 Thousand Buddha Mountain Ironclad Army. And those older generations of ironclad soldiers were handed over to Guo Wang by Li Ke.

Then under Xiao Rui's arrangement, Guo Wang became the owner of Li Ke's farm. And the older generation of ironclad soldiers naturally became farmers on this farm.

However, Li Ke did not treat them badly, although they were relieved and returned to the field, but Li Ke gave them a life without the slightest worries.

……

"San Lang, how about having time to accompany me back to Qufu to see my father and mother?" Kong Jingrou opened her mouth and asked Li Ke.

"I only met my father-in-law when we got married, and I don't know what my mother-in-law looks like. We really should have taken a look. ”

"You ask people to clean up and explain the affairs in the house to Ailian. Then let's leave for Qufu. Look at my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Li Ke said to Kong Jingrou with a smile.
