Hearing Li Shimin's promise, the eldest brother was also very happy, but he didn't expect to save people by chance, so he found his sister-in-law's house, and looking at Li Shimin's clothing and behavior, at least he is not a broken family, as long as the sister does not suffer, he will be happy to be the eldest brother. Anyway, when the matter was opened, he simply asked about Li Shimin's family background.

"Looking at the age of the childe, it should be about the same as the end of the year, right, there is fifteen or sixteen?" The eldest brother asked first.

"In a few days it will be exactly sixteen (Note 1)." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good!" The eldest brother was even happier. If there are no special circumstances, Li Shimin should not be married yet, then he will be a wife, so he will not be afraid of being angry in the future.

Li Shimin still doesn't know what the identities of the two brothers and sisters are, every time they ask Momo, they always go off topic while they talk, and they want to inquire about it now, so that they can go back and talk to Li Yuan.

"I don't know the name of my eldest brother until now, and it's not easy to talk to my father when I go back." Li Shimin said euphemistically.

The eldest brother patted his thigh and smiled: "Haha, yes, I'm a rough person, I forgot to say it, my name is Niu Zhuangzhuang, my sister's name is Niu Momo, my father and mother gave birth to seven children, five of them died, and we were the only ones left. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's okay, the eldest brother has always been an entertainer for a living?" ”

"Hey, my father and mother died early, and then caught up with the plague, I led the end of the begging to escape, and then followed a master to learn the formula for a few years, this can only rely on this to eat. Fortunately, Momo is still smart when he is older, and it didn't take long for him to learn, and the two of us have been selling arts to make a living, which has been seven or eight years. ”

Li Shimin looked at Niu Zhuangzhuang and was in his twenties, but he was old-looking, and he was embarrassed to know that he was working hard.

Seeing that it was too late, Niu Zhuangzhuang got up and said: "Son's body is injured, and he has been tossing for a long time, hurry up and rest, let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, watching Niu Zhuangzhuang go out, but his heart couldn't calm down.

He knew that Li Yuan would definitely not agree to this family business, how could the brothers and sisters who were performing arts be worthy of being the sons of the dignified princes, he didn't know how to speak. But Momo is really cute, and he really likes this girl. It is said that first love is the most beautiful and will haunt people's dreams, and he is no exception.

Li Shimin racked his brains to think about how to convince his parents to accept this girl, and fell asleep in a daze.

Li Xiang returned to Longmen, said hello to Empress Xiao, and returned to the backyard to see his grandfather, to his surprise, his second uncle Li De was also with his grandfather.

After Li Xiang finished the ceremony, he first told his grandfather what happened in Mengjin, and then asked when the second uncle would come back.

Li De said that he had just come back for two days, and he came back to take Li Xiang to Luoyang.

It turned out that Li De went to Luoyang, and according to Li Xiang's suggestion, he met with most of the high-ranking officials in Luoyang, explored the way to open a store in Luoyang, and also rectified the existing stores in Luoyang.

A few days ago, he went to visit Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and gave the bicycle made by Li Xiang to the king of Yue as a gift. Yue Wang was only eleven years old, and he was quite curious about novelties, and Li Xiang's bicycle was unique in this era. Yang Tong fell in love right away, and he yearned for Li Xiang even more. Just in time for Yang Tong's birthday at the end of the month, he invited Li Changlai to participate.

Li De happily agreed on behalf of Li Xiang, and when he left, Yang Tong asked Li De to pass a message to Li Xiang, hoping to get an unexpected and novel and fun gift, Li De wrote them down one by one, and packed up after leaving the Yue Wang's Mansion and rushed back to Longmen. Unexpectedly, Li Xiang went to Mengjin, and Li De still thought about going to Mengjin to find Li Xiang, but was stopped by Li Yaozu and said that he would talk about it in a few days.

Li Xiang's head is big again, Longmen still has a bunch of things to deal with, even Yang Guang's car is drawn and thrown to the carpenter to do, I don't know how it is now, Yang Tong wants things again, Li Xiang complains that Yang Guang's family is his nemesis.

Li Yaozu knew that Li Yi was fine, and his heart was relieved, and after a few words with Li Xiang, he went back to rest. Li De didn't talk to Li Xiang much, and the two of them stared at each other, and they really didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, Wei Zheng came in to find Li Xiang, and Li Xiang walked down the slope and followed Wei Zheng to the study.

In the past few days, Wei Zheng began to run the entire Longmen County and the surrounding villages and towns according to the tasks assigned by Li Xiang, and then learned Li Xiang's method and drew a map.

Li Xiang unfolded the map and looked at the situation in the entire Longmen and its surroundings, and said to Wei Zheng: "Does Mr. know agriculture?" ”

Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "I haven't learned that before, but if Gongzi wants to find such a person, just find an old farmer, he has been digging in the field all his life, and he must know a lot." ”

Li Xiang said with a smile: "The agriculture I am talking about is a science, not simply farming, but what you said is also reasonable, at least you must know where to grow crops around." ”

He glanced at the map again and said, "I want to find not only the old farmer, but also the hunters in the mountains, and I want to know what is in the mountains." ”

Wei Zheng thought for a moment and said, "What do you mean, are we going to start looking for gold and silver?" ”

"What gold and silver?" Li Xiang didn't understand.

"It's gold and silver."

Li Xiang thought for a moment and smiled: "Yes and no, I don't think we will have gold and silver mines here, but there should be other mines, which may be exactly what I need, so I have to find some experienced hunters to ask." ”

"How do you find hunters when looking for mines? There are special prospectors, why doesn't Childe look for them? Wei Zheng was a little curious.

"And someone who specializes in prospecting?" Li Xiang really didn't know that there was an exploration industry in ancient times.

"Yes, there are such positions in the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court, and there are also such people in the Craftsman Prison. Isn't Childe still a young eunuch? These people are under your control. ”

Wei Zheng's words made Li Xiangmao pause, and he found that since he was made an official by Yang Guang, it seems that he has not used his rights, and now to build Longmen, what is lacking is all kinds of talents, and the title of craftsman is just to be used.

He looked at Wei Zheng and said with a smile: "Wei Dazui can be regarded as to the point this time." ”

Wei Zheng's original smiling face suddenly pulled down, and said: "It's all called like this by the son, and now even everyone in Qinxiang Pavilion is called like this, and I'm embarrassed to go there to eat." ”

Li Xiang looked at Wei Zheng with a smile and asked, "It seems that you go there to eat every day, how is it, is the buffet delicious?" ”

Wei Zheng covered his mouth with his hand and said: "I said that I missed my mouth again, what the auxiliary machine said is not the same as what the son said, and this time it will be said by the auxiliary machine again." ”

Li Xiang pointed at Wei Zheng with his hand and said: "Mr. is not young, why are you always fooling around with the auxiliary machine, I didn't say that you can't go to dinner, why do you want to go behind my back, I'm afraid that I know, I Li Xiang thinks I'm not stingy." ”

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "We don't say that the son is stingy, but we are worried that the son will be poor." ”

"Then how much money can there be, besides, Qinxiang Pavilion's daily income is enough for the two of you to eat for a month, how can you be poor." Li Xiang shook his head speechlessly and said.

"Childe doesn't know, Sai Xishi is too powerful, he sends people to guard the restaurant every day, and his own people have to keep accounts when they eat, and the meals we finish have to be recorded on Childe's head, hehe, so we don't dare to eat more." Wei Zheng said curtly.

"Huh?" Li Xiangyi was stunned and asked, "When did it start, why don't I know?" ”

"It's the second day after the reopening, whether it's everyone, or other little singers, they have to keep accounts for dinner, and they have to settle accounts together at the end of the month." Wei Zheng said.

"Who stipulates this?" Li Xiang asked seriously.

"It should be Sai Xi Shi, I didn't see any questions, and I didn't ask. What, Childe thinks it's inappropriate? Wei Zheng asked tentatively.

Li Xiang frowned and thought for a while: "It's not inappropriate, Sai Xishi will affect the business by doing this, no, I have to go and see, if I don't get it, something will happen." ”

Wei Zheng saw that Li Xiang was really anxious, and said: "Actually, there are many new changes in the Qinxiang Pavilion during this time, but the son is not here, so I don't know." ”

Li Xiang became more and more anxious when he heard this, and asked directly: "What do you know, tell it all, and I'll see if there's anything wrong." ”

Wei Zheng thought for a long time and said: "In addition to eating, there is also Sai Xishi who arranged for those courtesans to pick up guests, by the way, there are ......."

Before Wei Zheng finished speaking, Li Xiang said anxiously: "This is also something that started from the second day of opening?" ”

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "It should be, I didn't pay too much attention to it." ”

Li Xiang pulled Wei Zheng and walked out, "What's going on?" Why did it change back to the old way, Qinxiang Pavilion couldn't open in a few days after doing this, come with me, a few days later, something really happened. ”

Wei Zheng didn't know what would happen, so he hurriedly followed Li Xiang towards Qinxiang Pavilion.

Li Xiang thought about what the problem was as he walked, he never imagined that Sai Xishi would do such a thing. Li Xiang's plan is to build Qinxiangge into the largest comprehensive service place in Longmen, and even in the entire Luoyang area, so as to drive other industries in Longmen to slowly carry out shareholding reform.

Of course, Li Xiang wants to use Qinxiang Pavilion as a pilot to see what kind of market there will be for a comprehensive service industry in ancient times. If he still does it as it was, then his first pilot will be aborted, and the rest of the work will not be able to continue.

That's why Li Xiangcai was so anxious, he felt that if Qinxiang Pavilion couldn't do it, then all his efforts here in Longmen would be in vain.

The two of them walked out of the yamen and walked straight towards Qinxiang Pavilion. Wei Zheng saw Li Xiang with a nervous look on his face for the first time, and he really didn't know how serious the matter was.
