Chapter 202: Wang Yuanbao's Gift
At night, Li Shan was dressed neatly, and Liu Ruyan sorted out his crown and hat.
"Xianggong, what do you say this Wang Yuanbao invited you to do? Although we had some connections with him when we were in Jingzhou, now you are an official and he is a businessman. Let's have less dealings with him. Liu Ruyan has never been very approving of Li Shan's business, especially Li Shan's prosperity now, and there is no need to worry about money.
Li Shan is not very satisfied, how can there be such a thing as money? This deal is in the bag, anyway, it always has to be used to make people rich, as the so-called fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders, of course, the money is best earned by yourself.
"Don't worry, I won't touch the business now. You see, since I handed over the business to Yan Zhao and them, haven't I also been asking? However, the procurement of raw materials by the Arms Department this time is a major matter, and I have to personally check it, so there can be no mistakes. ”
Su Jinxi hugged Li Xuan over and said with a smile: "Let's go to the court, there are more ways to make money, one is not greedy, and the other is not perverted, sister, you are still too careful." ”
Liu Ruyan said: "I'm not careful, our family has no worries about food and clothing now, I'm afraid that my husband will work too hard." ”
Li Shan knew that Liu Ruyan really felt sorry for himself, no matter whether he was poor or rich, good or bad, Liu Ruyan had been silently supporting himself behind his back, without complaining, and never giving up. This made Li Shan very moved, I remember someone once said that companionship is the most affectionate confession. So far, the woman who has been with Li Shan for the longest time and supports him most silently is Liu Ruyan.
"Don't worry, I'll be measured." Li Shan was very busy during this time, the Arms Department had just been established, and Li Shan handled all the affairs of all sizes, and seeing that the envoys of various countries were about to come to Chang'an, the preparations were imminent. Lee Sun hasn't taken a vacation for a long time.
came to Wang Yuanbao's house, and the house of the super-rich was really different, although because of the restrictions of the imperial court. Even if you have money, you can't put a lion in front of the door and a sign at the door. But this did not prevent them from building the mansion in a magnificent way.
And there is a feeling of dross in the gold and jade, entering the courtyard gate is a horizontal rockery, completely blocking the scene in front of you. But that's the subtlety of design, so that the imagination is endless.
Entering from the side of the rockery, you will come to a courtyard where countless goldfish are raised in the pool, and the stone dragon head sprays water all around, and carefully cut plantains stand around.
This is in Chang'an, but I didn't expect to be able to see a small courtyard in the Jiangnan style. Li Shan was really envious. Rich is good.
"Boss Wang, why do you have time to invite me to dinner today? I've already drunk the sake I gave last time, so it's really aftertaste. Li Shan arrived at Wang Yuanbao's house.
Wang Yuanbao's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and let Li Shan into the inner hall: "Come on, Lord Li, please." Lord Li is not what it used to be, and Wang is really afraid that he won't be able to invite you. Don't worry, as long as you like it, I will let people send you a dozen more jars. ”
Li Shan sat on the main seat unceremoniously and said with a smile: "Although Li is deeply favored by the emperor. Steady progress, but the poor friends can not be forgotten. Boss Wang is Li's friend, and he will always be, how can I not come if you invite me to dinner. ”
Wang Yuanbao said: "Lord Li is really a person who values love and righteousness. Wang Mou gave Master Li a glass, which was a wine from the Western Regions. Mr. Li has a poem: Grape wine luminous cup, today Wang specially collected the luminous cup, and Mr. Li relived the pride of Liangzhou. ”
Wang Yuanbao doesn't actually know how to write poetry. He doesn't know poetry either, but he rarely has to be elegant in high society, and there are special people behind the scenes to help him give advice.
Li Shan was very happy. Although he had written this poem before, he had never actually drunk wine or used a glow-in-the-dark glass. Look.
"At that time, the army was simple, although I did this military march, but Li did not use this luminous cup, which is a big regret in life, I didn't think that I could drink wine with a luminous cup today, it was really happy, Boss Wang had a heart."
Boss Wang took a wooden box from the hands of his subordinates, which contained a row of luminous cups, which were exquisitely made and looked beautiful under the moonlit night.
"Since Lord Li likes it, this luminous glass of wine has been given to Lord Li."
This luminous cup is made by Qi Shanyu, and the price is expensive, Li Shan excused himself: "Boss Wang is serious, this luminous cup is a treasure, how can Li win people's love." ”
Boss Wang said with a smile: "The treasure knife is given to the hero, this luminous cup is an elegant object, wouldn't a rough man Wang spoil this object." Lord Li is a genius in the world, and this thing can be regarded as having found its owner in the hands of Lord Li. ”
Li Shan is just polite, don't be in vain: "Haha, Boss Wang is so gracious to me, but I am disrespectful." ”
Boss Wang said: "This luminous cup is just a plaything, and Wang does have a gift to give to Master Li today." ”
Li Shan raised his eyebrows, and the heart Dao Wang Yuanbao seemed to have made a lot of money, this luminous cup turned out to be just an appetizer, and he was even more looking forward to the main meal.
Boss Wang clapped his hands, and a big man walked in from outside the door, clenched his fists and said, "Ah San see the master." ”
This person has a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, fair skin and thick stubble, looks like a Xinjiang person, his height is estimated to be more than two meters, and he is full of explosive muscles, and he looks like a practitioner. Ah San, why did you suddenly remind Li Shan of the stalk of Indian Ah San, could it be that this Ah San will also be hanging?
Boss Wang said: "This is a slave bought by my caravan from the Great Food Country, this man has infinite manpower, good at fighting, how can the adult do it without a person around him who is in a high position, this person will be given to the adult as a bodyguard." Ah San, this will be your master in the future, show your master your ability. ”
Ah San glanced at Li Shan, walked up to Li Shan, knelt down on one knee and said, "Ah San greets the master." Ah San's voice was a little stiff, and it was obvious that Chinese was learned later.
This is indeed a good gift, Li Shan has never been a bodyguard who loyally protects himself, so he is always coaxing others to protect himself, which is also very sad. The slaves of this big food country look good, they look very secure, and this kind of slaves are very loyal, and Western slavery is still a little different from China's feudal system.
Ah San walked outside the courtyard, there was a grinding plate-sized stone next to the rockery, he squatted slightly with his legs, his arms were strong, and he lifted the stone directly above his head with a loud shout. The explosive muscles were even more prominent at this time, and the stones of more than three hundred catties were lifted easily, which did not seem to be too difficult, and it was indeed born with divine power.
Li Shan clapped his hands and stood up and said, "Okay, good, born with divine power, it's really good." ”
"Ah San used to be a slave of a merchant in the Great Food Country, and this merchant often came to the Tang Dynasty to do business, so Ah San is very familiar with the customs of the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, and he also speaks Chinese very well."
Li Shan feels that this foreplay is almost over, but he can get to the point.
"Boss Wang, I am ashamed to receive so many gifts from you for no reason. Boss Wang, don't worry, Li will not treat you badly. ”
Wang Yuanbao wanted this sentence, and said with a smile: "Lord Li, the Arms Department has just established the supply of raw materials, and the channels for adopting them have not yet been decided. Wang had nothing else to ask for, as long as the raw materials of this gunpowder were supplied, Master Li handed it to Wang with a wave of his pen, and Wang would have filial piety in the future. ”
Give it, just give it, these two gifts from Wang Yuanbao today really made Li Shan a little difficult to refuse. (To be continued.) )
