Chapter Ninety-Three: Negotiation

"Big brother, what are you going to do with this matter? Do you just let them go? ”

Li Shen looked at Li Ke with a wry smile, what is his identity now? Don't say anything about identity, if you want money or not, if you want people without people, what can he do? Do you really want to run to Chang'an City and lie down and beat them up?

At that time, he didn't hit anyone, it is estimated that he will be beaten up, there is no absolute strength, Li Shen should not move for the time being, if he wants to do it, he must be stable, otherwise he will only be hurt by himself.

"What do you say I'm going to do with my current status?"

"Uh, this... It's really not easy. Li Ke said with a slight flurry, and then said with some discouragement: "Is it really just that?" I'm still a little reluctant. ”

"What if you are unwilling? Just if they were beaten by us this time. ”

"That's right, I'm still happy when I think about it."

"How's your preparation now?" Li Shen asked.

It's been almost half a month since then, and Chang'an City is the center of the entire Tang Dynasty's political, military and commercial areas, basically rich businessmen from all over the world have business shops and stations in Chang'an City, just to facilitate contact and listen to the actions of the imperial court, after all, every move of the imperial court is likely to involve business.

"How's it going?" Li Ke looked at Li Shen suspiciously and asked, this head is beating too fast! Ask will also ask the whole sentence, and ask half of the question who can know.

"What do you say?" Li Shen glared angrily and said.

"It's been contacted, but there are still a lot of people who are hesitating."

Li Ke said with a smug smile: "But this group of guys is estimated to not be able to wait for a few days, I have already warned them, but if anyone dares to copy our things, they will bear the consequences." ”

Li Shen looked at Li Ke with a smile, looking at his smug appearance, it is estimated that he has intimidated them, but as a prince, since the power is great, it is impossible to offend many people, businessmen and politicians will always be implicated, it seems that the trouble is quite big, so that those have to be afraid of him.

"Give them some sweetness when the time comes."

Li Ke nodded and said, "I know, isn't it just a slap to a sweet date, you said it, I understand." ”

"Leave a line in life and work, and see each other in the future, don't underestimate businessmen, in fact, the power they gather can easily subvert a dynasty."

"Big brother, are you kidding? How can that group of mercenary guys have so much power? Li Ke asked with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Don't underestimate any profession, they are part of this society, they are indispensable."

"Xianggong, the third uncle has eaten." Hou Peipei shouted with a smile on his face.

"Eat, big brother, don't really say it, I ate your family's food, and now I eat the food made in the house is just like pig food, you see ......" Li Ke stood up and asked with a smile.

"We'll talk about it then."

"Don't, brother, are you a brother, okay? You don't know the ...... of that meal."

Li Ke watched Li Shen walk into the house, and hurriedly followed, "Big brother, don't be so ruthless, okay?" Isn't it just a recipe for cooking, uh... Hehe, big brother, I have a good idea, why don't we open a restaurant in Chang'an City, what do you think?"

"Not a bad idea, let's eat first."

After the meal, a cigarette is happy like a fairy, but now that tobacco has not yet reached China, Li Shen, a little smoker, is a little helpless, so he has to make a cup of tea, taste it leisurely, look at Li Ke impatiently, and smile slightly.

"Restaurants and so on, there is one thing that is more profitable now, let's do this first, we can quickly accumulate wealth, but you have to remember that our identities are different, and this money can only be used among the people to expand our influence."

Li Keleng paused, nodded, and said, "What is the eldest brother?" How else to expand? Then he thought for a while and said, "It's better to use yours, I'll forget it, and save me trouble." ”

"You really didn't have to think about it?" Li Shen asked with a smile.

Li Ke looked at Li Shen's eyes, looked away slightly, smiled a little desolately, and said, "What can you do if you think about it?" Just like you said, unless I have absolute power in the army, don't even think about it, but controlling the army is as difficult as climbing to the sky. ”

Li Ke sighed in a low voice, raised his head and looked at Li Shen, his eyes were full of despair, and said, "I hope the eldest brother can remember the words of the day, if ...... When the time comes, I can promise the little brother peace and freedom. ”

Li Shen stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, true gentleman, he can only use this word to describe him, for him to feel sorry, said: "Third brother, the eldest brother actually really hopes that you can become the emperor to be honest, but people will change with time, and the eldest brother doesn't know if he will lose himself by the power if he ascends the throne, so he ......"

"Big brother, I know."

"I know what you think, but I can assure you that no matter how much I change, as long as you don't touch the interests of Datang, I won't blame you." Li Shen paused, what could he do? What can he do for the people of this land?

Li Shen had never thought about this, he had always thought about being able to live a life of prosperity and desire, if he didn't know that no matter what he did, he would not be able to break free from the whirlpool of this imperial power struggle. Since you want to fight, you have to start thinking about everything.

"Things in the future, let's talk about it later, even if the eldest brother promises you now, it is just a flower in the mirror, some things need to be walked out step by step, you can watch it yourself when the time comes, if you don't want to at that time, the eldest brother can let you go."

"Thank you, big brother."

"You and I are brothers, so we don't need to thank you."

"By the way, big brother, you haven't said anything about making money?"

"Pepe, bring me a piece of handmade soap." Li Shen shouted loudly.

"I'm sorry sister-in-law." Li Ke took the slightly transparent handmade soap handed over by Hou Peipei, looked at it, pinched it with his hand, felt a little slippery, took it to his nose and smelled it, there was a faint fragrance, and asked Li Shen: "Big brother, what is this thing?" ”

"Handmade soap."

"I know it's handmade soap, but I don't know what it's for?" Li Ke looked at Li Shen speechlessly and asked.

"Cleaning clothes and washing bodies is many times better than any cleaning supplies available today." Li Shen said lightly, fortunately, the production method of handmade soap is simple, and it is just a chemical reaction between oil and alkali, but the purity of alkali is not very high now, so the soap horn is much lower than that of modern times.

But that's it, the cost of a piece of handmade soap is only less than 20 yuan, ordinary people can also afford it, but the use of animal oil is a bit too wasteful, palm trees can be refined into oil, and palm oil can not be eaten, it can be completely replaced.
