After receiving the board, Jin Daqian limped home, and as soon as he entered the door, a woman with a sour face ran out of the house, "Master, what's wrong with you?" β
Jin Daqian's face was angry: "It's not you a loser, how many times have I told you, don't take money from those businessmen, you don't listen, now it's okay, Your Highness knows about it, and beat me for twenty boards, oops, my ass!" β
When the woman heard this, her face immediately turned white, and although she was greedy for money, she also divided the weight: "Master, how is that good!" β
Jin Daqian's board was not heavy, he deliberately pretended to scare her, "Your Highness said, if there is a next time, you will cut off my head!" β
These words frightened the woman to the cold, this family used to be very poor, if it weren't for Jin Daqian to become a housekeeper in the palace, this month's income has risen and risen, and their lives can't be so nourishing, "Master, I don't dare anymore, I'll give you the money, you return it to the palace!" He began to cry.
Seeing his wife like this, Kim Daqian smiled slyly......
It lasted a whole month, under the hard work of Li Su and 10,000 laborers, the Chang'an underground pipeline finally ended, for which Li Shimin specially summoned Li Su and two subordinates, as early as possible, Li Su resigned from the position of the Ministry of Labor, and in order to commend Li Su, Li Shimin rewarded Li Su with 500 silk horses, which can be regarded as encouragement.
Although Li Su resigned, he did not forget the two subordinates who were mixed with him, and boasted about the exploits of the two, Li Shimin was very happy, and promoted both of them to be members of the Ministry of Labor.
"Your Highness, your kindness, Kong Chi is unforgettable!"
"Wang Shen too!"
After the early dynasty, Kong Chi and Wang Shen caught up with Li Su and bowed deeply to Li Su, Li Su helped the two of them up, and said: "You will follow Lu Shangshu to work hard in the future, and I recommend you that I and the two of you are colleagues after all, and second, you are indeed talents, and it is too aggrieved to be a nine-grade steward!" Then, Li Su suddenly whispered: "So many ministers are watching, don't be too close to me, let's go!" Let's go! There are a lot of people in the court who hate me! Be careful that they will put you in little shoes in the future! β
"This ......" Kong Chi and Wang Shen smiled bitterly at the same time, this highness is really different.
The two arched their hands and left, Li Su had an extra hand on his shoulder, he turned his head to look, but it was Li Ke.
"The third brother's mastiff is really different, there are no rats in my palace for them to catch!" Li Su said with a deliberately stinky face.
Li Ke didn't feel it at all, and said: "Liulang, you don't understand, this mastiff has to be raised from a young age, and when he grows up, he can be loyal to his master!" β
"You think I'm too idle to find some errands for me, right? Can I raise so many mastiffs? β
"What's wrong with being idle, your third brother I can't be idle if I want to be idle, by the way, your business is very prosperous now, can you also let the third brother join in!" Li Ke said expectantly.
Li Su said angrily: "Don't you have the cash cow of Tong Nian?" Still short of money? β
"Tong Nian? Ay! Rokuro, don't you know? Something happened to this Tong Nian! Li Ke sighed.
Li Su hadn't seen Tong Nian for a long time, and he thought that his beating made him resentful, and he didn't want to deal with Liang Wangfu anymore, "What happened to him?" β
"A few days ago, I was drinking with a few friends in a restaurant, and I met the shopkeeper driving a beggar, I glanced at it, only to see that it was Tong Nian, I was also surprised, how did this Tong Nian become like this in just one or two months, I asked him to understand, it turned out that in order to maximize the profit of your perfume, he spent all his wealth and borrowed debts, bought a batch of perfume and sold it to Persia, but never thought that the goods were robbed by a wave of Turks on the way!"
"Taken away by the Turks, didn't the Northern Turks have long been pacified? How could there still be such chaos there? Li was puzzled, he didn't expect Tong Nian to be so unlucky.
Li Ke had a trace of worry in his eyes, "**Although it is gone, but the remnants are still there, some of them have been delusional about saving the Great Khan Jieli in a vain attempt to revive **, it is said that some people have entered Chang'an!" β
This is unheard of shocking news, Li Xuan said: "Isn't this Jieli the current general of the right guard?" Could it be that he still has a different heart! β
"Who is right about this, now many people in the court advocate killing Jie Liyong to get rid of future troubles, and the father is also considering it, but this will have too much impact on the ** tribe that has surrendered, and I am afraid that they will have a dislike with the Tang Dynasty, and there will be one more unstable factor from now on." When Li Ke said this, he turned around and said, "How can I tell you this, what do you think of the mention just now?" β
"That's it!" Li Su thought of something and said, "I have a big business next year, and I will pull you to do it when the time comes!" β
"Next year?" Li Ke was confused, "What business must be done next year!" β
Li Su said: "Don't worry, you will definitely make a lot of money when the time comes!" Also, that Tong Nian doesn't belong to your Shu Wangfu now, right? β
"Why? Do you want to use him? β
Li Su nodded: "After all, he is a businessman, my chamber of commerce is lacking a talent who can open up the market, after all, this Tong Nian has been working for so many years, he should have some experience!" β
"I see, that's up to you!" Li Ke is a politician after all, and he won't care about useless chess pieces, and he won't waste time......
Saying goodbye to Li Ke, Li Su returned to the palace and asked Jin Daqian to take a few nurses to the places where Tong Nian often haunted to look for them, and after a while, a man with loose hair and ragged clothes was taken back to the palace by Jin Daqian.
"Grass people, see Your Highness!" Tong Nian's appearance at this time was extremely miserable, wearing shabby linen clothes, his face was full of scum, and he was dirty all over his body, and he was a beggar.
Speculation is risky, Li Su sighed secretly, and said: "Get up, I heard what the King of Shu said about you, it is indeed unfortunate!" β
The sadness that was mentioned, Tong Nian was sad again, and when he was down, he was most afraid of meeting the old man, and the damage caused by that self-esteem would be doubly painful.
"In the past, you were a guest of the Shu Palace, I couldn't pull you to the Liang Palace, but now that you don't have this concern, are you willing to go to the Liang Palace?" Immediately said directly.
"The little one is penniless now, so what else can he do for His Highness?" Tong Nian said gloomily.
Li Su walked to Tong Nian's side, "Money? Isn't the money in Liang Wangfu as much as yours? I'm different from my third brother, he uses your money, but I use your talent, now the business of the palace is better day by day, but there is no one who can really take the helm, I have always wanted to find someone, but there has been no suitable candidate, I don't know if you are willing to pick this list! β
"Your Highness... You're making meβ" Tong Nian couldn't believe his ears and stammered speechless.
