Chapter 2 Business Gifts
Buy a pit in the imperial tomb? The joke is too big. Even if Su Yan can really get the royal forgiveness in the future and enter the sect, it will not be Liu Yue's turn to sleep in that pit.
The old emperor was nearly sixty years old, and his fertility was quite good, with more than 20 sons and more than a dozen daughters. But because of the cannibalism that happened ten years ago, he no longer established a reserve.
Twenty-two years after the emperor ascended the throne, the troubled husband and wife, Empress Mu, died nineteen years ago, and the empress was ordained, and she also died six years ago. Now the most powerful person in the palace is Li Guifei, the mother of the fifth prince Su Yi.
The fifth prince Su Yi is now intertwined in the court, plus the third prince Su Bi and the fourth prince Su Ren born to the late Empress Zhao, they are the most powerful contenders for the crown prince. Su also has the support of his mother, Su Bi and Su Ren have the support of the grandfather of the elders of the two dynasties, and the fight is dark.
For Liu Yu, a cup of muddy water, when it is quiet, the dust can settle. The one who is above is the one who falls the slowest.
"Okay, I'll buy it." Liu Yu didn't think about it for too long, and replied to him directly.
If this kid hadn't been poor and crazy, he wouldn't have the idea of beating the royal ancestral tomb.
Su Yan was very surprised by Liu Yu's cheerfulness: "You...... Not afraid to buy it back useless? I can't guarantee that you'll be able to sleep in it when you're a hundred years old. If something goes wrong, we will not be responsible for the return. ”
"Buyers and sellers, what is important is to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, now you can't vacate that pit for me, you have to make a note first."
"Of course, we have to set up a document, but we have to talk about the price first."
Liu Yu pinched his fingers and calculated with Su Yan: "The royal mausoleum, even if it is a small pit, it is comparable to ten thousand gold, the base is quite large, you know your own affairs, the chance of this pit belonging to you is slim, take advantage of this negligible possibility, five taels of silver is only a lot more." ”
Originally, Liu Yu said that it was "comparable to ten thousand gold" Su Yan's face was quite happy, but when he heard the worst, it was only "five taels of silver", although he was a little disappointed, but he was not disappointed.
"Five taels is five taels, according to what I wrote, you see if it will work."
Su Yan picked up the cinnabar red pen that Liu Yu put on the table to circle and comment on the books, and wrote with the pen: "I am now selling a corner of the ancestral tomb to the Liu family's son-in-law, in exchange for five taels of silver." Use without interference. After thinking about it, he added a few words at the end, "Never regret it." ”
Only wrote a "corner of the ancestral tomb" on it, and did not say which corner, let alone the length and width of the land boundary. The length and width of the royal mausoleum are more than ten miles long, and it is not enough to find a tomb casually.
Liu Yu glanced at it, stretched out his hand and tapped it on the end with his fingers: "Sign it." ”
Su Yan had no choice but to suffix "unfilial son Su Yan". Liu Yu smiled in his heart, this kid finally understood, and he also knew that he was an "unfilial son".
Liu Yu gave him five taels of silver, and Su Yan grabbed the silver and walked away.
………
There are some things that Liu Yue can't help but believe.
I have been in this world for more than a year, and I want to sleep from the moment I just opened my eyes to the beginning of my recovery, and it seems that something is wrong to listen to those maids and little girls in bed.
The first thing he was able to do was to find a history book, and after comparing them, he found that the history of the two worlds had almost nothing in common.
There was no Xia, Shang and Zhou, and there was no Spring and Autumn Warring States. It is said that they have been Zen for thousands of years, and there are also Zen sons who have given Zen to their sons, but at most only two generations, this situation was broken by a person named Da Pi.
Da Pi became the king, and the Iron Age had begun. He not only wanted to give the king to his descendants, but also divided his godsons into various places.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which had been hundreds of years, were only a few decades in this world, and a heroic figure was born out of thin air, and he pacified the Quartet with the righteous army, and people originally hoped that he would continue to maintain the tradition of Zen position. However, he called himself emperor and started the feudal dynasty.
This person is also called Qin Shi Huang, and he is called Winmoney, and his win is not Yingzheng's win.
Later history continued to fork, there is no Han Gaozu, there is no Western Chu overlord, this win is a holy emperor, the Great Qin Dynasty was established for more than 600 years, and the subsequent dynasties have long and short, there are also troubled times like the Three Kingdoms or the Five Hu Chaohua, and now the Great Shun Dynasty has been more than 1,000 years.
If we calculate that Qin Shi Huang of the two worlds ascended the throne in the same year, it is almost the late fifteenth century.
The Dashun Dynasty has also been established for more than 70 years, and internal and external troubles are obvious. There are Turks and Goryeo in the north, and the Western Regions and Tibet in the west, which are somewhat similar to the Tang Dynasty.
It is said that the prosperous times produce capable ministers, and the troubled times produce heroes.
Liu Yu hasn't figured out what he wants to do for more than a year.
Business? The old man is very respectful and does not allow his children and grandchildren to do business. Officer? First, he is a concubine, and he wants to be an official unless the emperor is graceful, or he will go to the imperial examination by himself. It's a pity that Liu Yu didn't inherit the knowledge in the stomach of the previous Liu Yu, although he learned a lot, the imperial examination in this world is useless.
Joining the army may be a way, Liu Yue was born burly and has the demeanor of an old man, but it is a pity that he is sick. A year ago, I was just hit on the head by the door panel and hung up. Originally, Liu Yu also wanted to exercise his physique, but after practicing for a few days, it was not interesting, so he didn't continue.
The saddest thing about being a human being is not that there is no goal, but that when you look at it, the goal is all floating clouds.
…………
Let's talk about Su Yan again.
Before the old emperor ascended the throne, he was once demoted to Liucheng, and it is said that those who ate chaff and swallowed vegetables might not be able to return to Chang'an if it were not for the mediation of Queen Mu. On the night of her accession to the throne, something happened in the palace, and it was Queen Mu who stabilized the overall situation. When Su Yan was born, the situation was already stable, doting on him, and his temperament was perverse.
Liu Yu couldn't help but think of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, who was somewhat similar to Su Yan's situation, the two elder brothers were also fighting for the throne, and the eldest grandson Empress was also stranded in the palace all the year round after her death, so she met his Wu Meiniang. It's just that Su Yan didn't meet that good time, and the means he used were too urgent, and he didn't cultivate emotional hardness at all.
Suddenly, half of her face appeared at the door, and then a pretty peasant girl appeared in front of the door carrying a small bamboo basket. The smile on his cheeks made Liu Yu can't help but rejoice.
"Twelfth Young Master, Zhuo'er will send you some rice flowers, if it weren't for the guys from the Chess Academy who recognized me, they wouldn't have been able to come up."
As the girl spoke, she brought the bamboo basket over and put it on the table, a fragrant breath hit her nose, and the basket was full of golden popcorn, which made Liu Yu look at it and couldn't help but move her index fingers: "There is no bowl of cake to eat, there are rice flowers, I don't feel full, but I can finally have food in my stomach." Sister Zhuo'er really has a heart. ”
Liu Yu directly grabbed the girl's little hand, the girl's face showed a little frightened, and she immediately became ashamed, her head and cheeks became red, there was no one else in the room, and she didn't have to withdraw her hands back, let Liu Yu catch her.
"What a pretty girl." Han Sheng walked in from the door, "Little Brother Liu, what kind of food is this?" ”
Liu Yu sold flowers and praised the fragrance of flowers and said: "Popcorn, brother, you can also taste it, but my sister of the Zhao family made it herself." Delicious tight. ”
The girl hurriedly argued: "No, no. In the past, the rice flower was made by Zhuo'er's father, and his brother came back from the army a few days ago, but now he does it, and Zhuo'er is just helping to do it. ”
Han Sheng showed a little surprise and said, "Popcorn? I heard this name a few days ago, it is said that it was made by a family in the south of the city, and it was sold out as soon as it came out every day, and ordinary people couldn't eat it if they wanted to, but it turned out to be from the girl's house. ”
The girl Gu Panshengzi glanced at Liu Yu and said: "Actually, this is all taught to us by the Twelfth Young Master, we were originally tenants of the Hou Lord's Mansion, and my brother went out to be a soldier and couldn't pay the rent in a disaster year, the Twelfth Young Master took pity on our family and taught us how to make a living." ”
"Delicious, delicious." Han Sheng ate a few grains and was full of praise, "It's sweet and delicious, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant." Fantastic. ”
"The rice is topped with raw sugar and cream that the Twelfth Young Master taught us." The girl's face showed a little pride, but her mouth immediately became a little unhappy, "The old gentleman likes to eat, and he could have sent some to the house in the future, but we can't do this for long." Some merchants in the south of the city are overbearing and unreasonable, and when they see that our rice flowers are selling well, they always send some people to make trouble, forcing us to give them the skills taught by the Twelfth Young Master. We peasant families do not dare to fight with them. ”
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Zhuo'er, you don't have to worry about this, there is a businessman in front of you." Brother, do you want to mass produce this popcorn and monopolize this business? ”
Han Sheng's mouth was stuffed with popcorn, and when he heard this, he swallowed half of it, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Liu, you really talked about my mind." If you sell this skill to me, I dare to promote it so that everyone in Chang'an can eat it. ”
"This is the livelihood of Sister Zhuo'er's family, how can I be in charge, if you want to buy this technique, you should first ask Sister Zhuo'er if she is happy."
