Chapter 14: What's the difference between this and robbery?

Early the next morning, when Li Ke left Lanling County, Xiao Rui loaded several large carriages for Li Ke.

And according to Li Ke's requirements, he also prepared several people who were proficient in business. Although Xiao Rui felt that Li Ke was doing this, he felt a little bit unprofessional. But I didn't hesitate to agree.

It can be said that Li Ke's visit to Lanling County this time is definitely a full return. Those big cars are all Kaiyuan Tongbao.

……

At this time, the news of Li Ke's arrival in Qizhou had already spread among the major families. And this news was spread by the eldest grandson Wuji.

However, when they heard that Li Ke had come to Qizhou to be the official, he was going to beat them on behalf of Li Shimin. The look on their faces was not worry, but disdain.

Although they were very disdainful of Li Ke, they were still ready to secretly make some trouble for Li Ke. Let Li Ke know that this is not Chang'an City. The Guan Long family bought your account in the Tang Dynasty, which does not mean that the Shandong family is the same.

……

And Li Ke didn't think so much about it at this time, he was sitting in the carriage at this time, leisurely checking his Golden Finger Sin Base.

After Li Ke clicked on the sin base, he saw that in terms of functional options, there was not only one option to strengthen, but also an additional plane shop.

Li Ke couldn't wait to open the plane shop, only to feel that the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. It was as if he had entered a plane shop.

I saw that this noodle shop was like a shopping mall of your choice. And there are seven floors from top to bottom. However, with Li Ke's current ability, he can only choose commodities within the first layer.

However, each item has a clear price, and the price is so high that Li Ke is a little dumbfounded.

"Damn, an ordinary loaf of bread dares to ask me for a tael of silver. What's the difference between this and robbery? Li Ke said to himself.

Although in the Tang Dynasty, the common currency was not silver, but the bulky Kaiyuan Tongbao. And the calculation unit of Kaiyuan Tongbao is a harmony. A Kaiyuan Tongbao is a money, and 1000 Kaiyuan Tongbao is consistent money.

The exchange price given by the plane shop is that the money is equal to one tael of silver, and 10 taels of silver is equal to one tael of gold.

According to the purchasing power of Kaiyuan Tongbao in the Zhenguan period, and the purchasing power of banknotes used in the 21st century. One tael of silver is at least equivalent to more than 4,000 yuan now.

Just a piece of bread costs more than 4,000 yuan, and it's no wonder that Li Ke would make such a fuss. It's really no different from robbery.

But Li Ke wouldn't really use 4,000 yuan to buy a piece of bread. After all, that's a bit too extravagant.

Then Li Ke began to walk around on this first floor, where all the daily necessities were available, such as grain, oil, goods, seeds and fertilizers.

However, the price was unacceptable to Li Ke, even an ordinary piece of soap. Li Ke also needs to come up with at least two taels of silver to complete the purchase.

Li Ke reluctantly walked out of the noodle shop, and the whole person instantly returned to reality. Although he has returned to reality, Li Ke still has not forgotten the sky-high prices of goods just now.

"It seems that in any era, money is the most important thing. If you don't have money, even if you have a gold mine empty, you won't be able to mine it. Li Ke said to himself.

……

Back in Qizhou City, Li Ke ordered someone to make a detailed inventory of the Kaiyuan Tongbao given to him by Xiao Rui. What Li Ke didn't expect was that Xiao Rui actually gave him 1,000 Kaiyuan Tongbao at one time.

If it is converted into coins of later generations, it is more than 4 million. This made Li Ke really surprised. After all, with so much money, Li Ke's next development will be much easier.

After Li Ke put away the 1,000 Kaiyuan Tongbao, he called the four people from the Xiao family who Xiao Rui gave him to his study.

Then Li Ke opened his mouth and said: "A few of you were given to this king by Xiao Rui, the young master of your Xiao family. At that time, he boasted to the king, and you are all the talents that the king needs. ”

"Now let this king know about you, from you start to tell this king who your surname is, and what you are best at." Li Ke pointed to the first person on the left and said.

"Back to the prince, the villain Xiao Yin, what he is good at is bookkeeping. As long as the villain has seen the accounts, he will remember them firmly after reading them once. The man named Xiao Yin opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

Then the remaining three introduced themselves to Li Ke one after another, and their names were Xiao Shang, Xiao Ye and Xiao Jiang.

Xiao Shang is a person who is relatively good at management, and when he was in the Xiao family in Lanling, he managed dozens of stores for the Xiao family.

Xiao Ye is responsible for taking care of the fields and collecting rents in the Xiao family. It should be regarded as a business person with strong business ability.

And the last craftsman Xiao is a craftsman with exquisite craftsmanship. Even if a piece of rotten wood comes into his hands, it can carve you into exquisite ornaments.

After hearing the respective introductions of the four people, Li Ke couldn't help but be very happy. He said secretly in his heart: "It seems that this Xiao Rui really understands himself, and he just briefly said his development intention." ”

"I didn't expect him to send four such professional talents to himself. With them by your side, your first steps are much easier. ”

"From now on you are the king's men, and the king's words are the highest commandments. As long as you work hard for this king, this king promises that one day you will be crowned with a wife. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to the four of them.

Xiao Yin opened his mouth and said to Li Ke: "Lord Wang, when the four of us left the Xiao family in Lanling, we were expelled from the Xiao family by the young master. Therefore, from now on, we must no longer have the surname Xiao, and ask the prince to give us a name. ”

Li Ke never expected that Xiao Rui would do things so decisively. In order to let these four people follow him with all their hearts.

So Li Ke thought about it and then said: "The name is just a code name, and from now on, you will have the surname Li with this king." As for the name, you can still use the original one. ”

When Li Ke said this, he didn't think much about it. But in the ears of these four people, it is different.

Don't forget that Li Ke is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and his surname is the surname of the Tang Dynasty. Only those who have made meritorious contributions in war are eligible to be given a national surname.

For example, like the original Xu Maogong, he is now given the surname Li by Li Shimin. There is also Luo Yi, the king of Yan, who was also given the surname Li by Li Yuan. Therefore, this surname Li is not given casually.

So the four people were excited, and knelt down directly in front of Li Ke. respectfully kowtowed to Li Ke three times.

Then Li Yin (Xiao Yin) spoke: "We are just lowly grass people, how can we be worthy of the surname given by the prince." Please also ask the prince to take back his fate. ”
