"I thought what the two conditions were, you little rabbit cub, stupid, such a good opportunity, just don't be an official and a half-job, it's good to ask for more fields, break the so-called curse of Tufan, this is a great achievement, you are really stupid, like getting rid of a nationality or something, this little thing is easy for the Cui family, but you want the emperor to come up and issue a decree, it is really a waste."

Such a good promise, but Liu Yuan only did those two trivial things, and all the "bosses" secretly shouted pity, and the straightforward Cheng Yanjin simply scolded it directly.

Qin Qiong also smiled and said: "Lao Cheng is right, Liu Yuan, you, you are still too tender, the opportunity is rare, and you don't pick up some good ones." ”

In the court, it is estimated that Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong dared to talk to Li Er like this, they are brothers who fought with Li Er and were born and died many times, sometimes they said the wrong thing, Li Er was not angry, he just smiled and did not pursue it.

Because their friendship has surpassed the relationship between kings and ministers, in today's parlance, it is called brothers of the opposite sex.

Li Er scolded with a smile: "Okay, you two don't coax, you think that everyone is as greedy as you, but, Liu Yuan, what is the explanation, I am also a little curious." ”

Liu Yuan said with a serious face: "First, I want to rely on my own efforts to complete it, and secondly, I can also let that red face get rid of his slavery status, as for fame and fortune, as long as you have the heart to fight for it, are you afraid that they will not come?" ”

"Good!" Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Ambitious, I think your kind of confidante must be very excited, and I love you even more in my heart." ”

Compared with Xiao Yu, who was born in a noble family and has a very emotional atmosphere, Cheng Yanjin, who has been a robber and a mountain king, still said for Liu Yuan with a face: "It's really stupid, stupid to death, no power and no name, a white body." It's just for a slave woman, isn't it a waste? I knew it was like this, you gave me that wish, and I sent you two confidantes, you have earned and I have earned, hahaha"

The eldest grandson Wuji and the mud said: "Okay, okay, Your Majesty has opened the golden mouth, and Xiao Langjun has also made his own decision, so let's stop making trouble." ”

Li Er nodded and said, "Liu Yuan." For your sake, for the sake of your country, I will allow it. ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Li Er agreed so happily, which made Liu Yuan overjoyed, and this salute was sincere.

I have no intention of officialdom. I just want to be a happy Taiping rich man, and Li Er said it. Perform on your own. will arrange a military position for himself, which is the best, he will even save the imperial examination or something, and directly get a fame; As for money, Liu Yuan has never worried that he will be poor, and the idea of making money has not yet been dispatched. Besides, in the name of training micro-carving, he got a shop in Chang'an, and then asked Li Er to send free workers to himself, and directly opened a branch of the Jinyu family in Chang'an. All of a sudden, I got one step closer to my dream.

Here is an inch of land and gold, business is prosperous, there are many Hu businessmen, plus this is the Kyoto of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial relatives, princes and ministers, celebrities and wealthy households, countless, it is definitely a commercial gold land, with their own advanced technology and design, they will definitely be able to make a full bowl of money, to be honest, now the war is imminent, it is estimated that the treasury will also be tight, with Li Er's character, he may not be able to reward much, that is, a hundred taels of gold, which is a thousand taels of silver, that is, in Yangzhou, Liu Yuan can earn it in half a month.

That amount of money is really not rare.

Liu Yuan thought about it, it was better to let Du Sanniang get rid of the slave status in a beautiful way, she put her heart on herself, and she also promised to find an opportunity to let her get rid of the slave status, which was the best reward for her, although Qinghe Cui's family could do it very easily, but Liu Yuan really didn't want to see Cui Jing's face of "you have to have a time to beg me".

When the time comes, he will bring up the old matter again, what should he do if he wants to drive Xiaoniang and Du Sanniang away?

"It's not a knighthood, it's just a slave status, this is easy to do" Li Er said to himself: "It's just a shop, in Chang'an City, where is it appropriate?" ”

Chang'an City, that is, Sui Daxing City, is the capital of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and is also the largest city in the world and the largest capital city in ancient China at that time, the twenty-five streets in Chang'an City, east and west, north and south, the whole city is divided into two cities and one hundred and eight squares. Among them, the urban area is divided into two parts: the east belongs to Wannian County, and there should be 55 squares, because the Qujiang Scenic Area in the southeast corner of the city occupies two squares, so it actually receives 53 squares; The western part belongs to Chang'an County, there is a city of 55 squares, but the most prosperous are the east market and the west market.

East City: The Sui Dynasty was called the Metropolitan City, and the Tang Dynasty changed it to the East City. It is located in the east of Chang'an City (about the west of Xi'an Jiaotong University), with a length of 600 steps (about 1,000 meters) from east to west, north and south. There are two gates on each side, and there are four main streets in the shape of "well", which divide the city into nine square areas. According to the records of the "Chronicles of Chang'an" written in the early Northern Song Dynasty, there are 220 lines of commodities in the East Market, "the treasures of the four directions are all accumulated". During the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a fire in the East City one day, burning down more than 4,000 people in 12 lines west of Caomen. It is estimated that there are more than 300 rows in one line, 220 lines in the East Market, and the total number of stores is estimated to exceed 10,000.

West Market: The Sui Dynasty was called Liren City, and the Tang Dynasty changed it to West City. It is located in the west of Chang'an City (about between Mijiaqiao and East Taoyuan Village, which is more than l kilometers southwest of Xi'an City), with two gates on each side, and there are four main streets in the city, which divides the city into nine square areas. The width of the street is 100 steps each, and on both sides there are clothing shops, medicinal herb shops, tomb shops, 鞧 (qiū秋) 辔 (pèi pairing) shops, silk shops, scale shops, bran shops, silk shops, and attached shops, and there are nearly 1,000 merchants who operate various commodity transactions. There are also many hostels, kiosei restaurants and food stalls around the street. The "Hu people" who came to Chang'an through the Silk Road to do business in the Western Regions, Central Asia, West Asia and other places also gathered in the city, dealing in gold, silver and jewelry, and buying silk and porcelain with Chinese characteristics and transporting them back to China for resale. After the Tang Dynasty, the prosperity of the West Market surpassed that of the East Market, and it was called the "Gold Market".

has made such a great contribution, in fact, the benefits are only one shop, and this shop also trains itself for free for intelligence with micro carving masters, and the most important thing is that Liu Yuan is also the son-in-law of the Qinghe Cui clan in the seven clans and five surnames, this time the Qinghe Cui clan lost face, how can I compensate for it, this matter is not so easy to fool, at least the shops in the east and west cities can get it.

The problem is that those two prosperous commercial places are actually secretly controlled by the emperor's relatives and scholars, and they don't know where to find a suitable one for a while.

"The emperor" eldest grandson Wuji really deserves to be Li Er's good helper, but as soon as he saw Li Er's hesitant face, he knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help reminding him on the side: "Shangshu Zuo Cheng Chen Wu embezzled the law and was exiled to Youzhou, all the properties were copied into the warehouse, in the property, there was just a shop in the West Market, why not"

That's right, Li Er's heart moved, and he secretly thought that he had almost forgotten about it, he had an image of this, and several concubines wanted it, but no one gave it to him after the last, and now he just took it to Liu Yuan.

"Liu Yuan, you have made such a great contribution, you have broken the so-called curse of Tufan, not only put forward a lot of valuable opinions on the expedition to Tufan, but also willing to dedicate your unique secret art, which should be rewarded, and I will take Chang'an West City"

The eldest grandson Wuji reminded in a low voice on the side: "A No. 12"

Li Er coughed dryly and continued: "The twelfth number A of Chang'an West City is rewarded to you, and I hope you will work hard to cultivate people for me as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you, Lord Longen, the grass people must do their best to repay the emperor's appreciation." Liu Yuan was happy in his heart and immediately thanked him.

On the way from Qinghe, Liu Yuan had already inquired clearly, the east and west cities are the most prosperous places in Chang'an, and according to the quality of the geographical location, it is divided by A, B, C, D, this No. 12 shop of A, it must belong to a very good prime location, this is a good thing, in Chang'an, this is not necessarily able to buy silver, and now Li Er rewards himself, Liu Yuan doesn't say a word, and immediately thanks.

"Don't be too happy" Li Er said solemnly: "You left your wife and went to Beijing to listen to the dispatch, this is not enough for me to do, with your mind, I definitely want to go back as soon as possible to complete the marriage, however, I can't go back in the near future, you have to stay in Chang'an, first, you can help me train as soon as possible, so that they can carry out the task as soon as possible, and second, maybe train the new army to adapt to that altitude sickness, it may be necessary to use you, depending on your young age, there will be opportunities in the future, and there is no need to fight for a while." ”

Yes, as soon as he came here, he couldn't even go home, he didn't say it, Liu Yuan really ran back to Qinghe, and Cui Mengyao completed the unfinished wedding, but he didn't expect Li Er to seem to see through his mind and take the lead in saying okay.

In a word, it's about to be a battle, and the faster you train, the better, and you may need it here.

This shop is really not so easy to take.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the grass people must stay in Chang'an, as long as there is a place where the grass people are needed, they will never be hidden." Liu Yuan saluted Li Er.

"Good, good, good." Li Eryi slapped his palm on the head of the case, and said with a conceited face: "Tufan, I see where you can run this time." ”

After the discussion, Liu Yuan declined the invitation of Hou Jun to come to his house for a drink, and after breaking up with him at the palace gate, he soon saw a person who looked like a subordinate standing beside him.

"Third aunt, the master ordered me to wait here, where the carriage stops, let's go home." The subordinate said respectfully.

"Where's Cui Shilang?"

Although it is a little strange for the subordinates, why does Liu Yuan still call his master's official name, aren't they their own people?

But these are not what he can ignore, and he responded with a salute: "The master went back to the household department on duty, I was afraid that the third aunt would not be able to find the way, so I ordered the villain to guard here, by the way, the lord said that it was still early, and the door was not closed, if you were interested, the small one would be pulled around to see." ”

"Go to the twelfth of West City A." Liu Yuan said lightly.

Just drank two bowls of deer milk and a stomach of snacks in the imperial study, Liu Yuan was not hungry or sleepy, full of energy, it is estimated that he can't sleep, he just came here, it's good to see everywhere, so he asked the servant waiting for him to pull the car to the West Market.

Liu Yuan wanted to see what Li Er's shop in the West Market was like. (To be continued.) )
