Chapter 77: Assassination
The third stop is a flower garden, which is still gray and bare, and many flower seeds have been redeemed, but they have not yet germinated at the moment, which is also for making soap perfume shampoo in the future.
The production method has come out a long time ago, but these raw materials are not available, if Li Xiang goes out to purchase, it may make someone aware of it, so all self-produced and self-used in the closed-loop management, even if someone wants to find the formula, we can't let him find the door.
Anyway, there are craftsmen in the system, even if these people have knives around their necks, they won't say a word, and then Li Xiang will select apprentices from death row prisoners and slaves, this model is still okay.
Although Li Xiang said that they would be given freedom after ten years, the society outside could not even eat enough, and life was okay within the high walls, and it is estimated that after ten years, these people will adapt to this kind of life, and they will not go out and start again.
"Who owes you money, what's this expression on your face?"
After Li Xiang finished inspecting the flower garden, he was about to get into the carriage when he saw a pain on Qian Ping's face.
"Your Highness, it's not who owes me money, it's Your Highness's speed of spending money......"
Qian Ping does not deny that Li Xiang's ability to make money is very strong, but his ability to spend money seems to be stronger, just take these workshops around, which one is also thousands of yuan, take pig raising and wine making as an example, then at least you can see the benefits, and spend money, after all, you can earn it back at any time.
But now this flower garden, a bare piece of the ground, wait until the flowers are planted, it will not be next year, in addition to buying land and finding people, the daily expenses are not a small number, Qian Ping is responsible for keeping accounts for Li Xiang, this is only half a month's effort, tens of thousands of dollars have been spent.
When Li Xiang made money, Qian Pingke was very happy, and he fantasized that the big mansion he bought in the outer city could not put the money, who knew that a car of money was transported in, and a car of money was shipped out, although the total amount was still growing, but the growth rate was different from what he had expected.
"Spending money is to make better money, otherwise what to do with making money? Throw it in the house and watch? Rest assured, one day you will have more money in your hands than the treasury. ”
Li Xiang also knew that Qian Ping was kind, and after patting this guy on the shoulder, Li Xiang got into the carriage.
More than the treasury?
Qian Ping looked at the carriage in the distance with some disbelief, His Royal Highness is joking, if you become the emperor in the future, if the old slave is still alive, maybe there will be a chance to follow you to the treasury to see, how can there be more money in private hands than the treasury? Isn't that a joke?
There are also those slaves and death row prisoners, according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, since they have been bought, they have to work honestly all their lives, how can they be paid? Isn't this an increase in spending for no reason? And it has to be according to the social price, I really don't know what His Highness thinks in his heart.
Now Chang'an City hires a man, about 300 yuan a month, and the bookkeeper 700 yuan, these slaves and death row prisoners will give them 300 yuan a month, and they will increase the money every year according to their performance, which is really the first time in the world.
Thinking that there are already more than 1,300 slaves and death row prisoners in his hands, and he has to spend 400 yuan a month, it hurts to think about it.
"Mr. Qian, Your Highness has gone away."
Niu San kindly reminded that if you don't catch up, Your Highness will be scolded again if you can't find anyone later.
"Let's go, let's go."
Qian Ping hurriedly urged the horse to follow, the pain in his heart was about to be twisted, and now he hated to have to pay attention to Li Xiang, how could there be such a life......
After running outside for a day, Li Xiang saw that it was about to get dark, and took his men to prepare to return to the city.
Not good!
It was Li San who was driving the carriage, and on the way he heard the sound of arrows cutting through the air, this guy had the combat power of twenty-three people, and his eyes and reaction speed were not comparable to ordinary people.
Li San soon found out where the bow and arrow came from, suddenly lay back, and then kicked in the air, just kicking the bow and arrow from a distance, and the bow and arrow flew upwards under the force.
"Eleven o'clock on the left."
The people of Datang didn't understand what Li San meant, but several guards on both sides of the carriage understood, and immediately untied their bows and arrows from their bodies, and then several bows and arrows flew to the left, all in one go.
Li Xiang in the carriage sneered, he was very happy all day today, but he didn't expect a mouse feces to come when he was about to return to the city, which affected his good mood, but I don't know who had such courage to dare to openly assassinate the emperor's eldest grandson...
The assassin's archery skills were extremely superb, mainly because he had been ambushed earlier, and basically there were no fish that slipped through the net, but he didn't expect that the people around Li Xiang were so powerful, and the arrows shot out could also be kicked away.
The most important thing is that the surrounding guards reacted extremely quickly, and before his side could shoot the second arrow, the opponent's counterattack had already come, so he could only run away as soon as possible.
"The subordinates are incompetent, and the other party is running too fast."
Li Wu rode back from a distance, the other party had already prepared an escape route, and they all needed a cup of tea in the past.
"Check..."
Li Xiang took the arrow in his hand and said, the arrows used by the bow master are completely different from ordinary people, whether it is the material of the arrow or the feather silk at the back, this look is a high-end product, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can afford.
"How strong is the other party?"
None of the people present had fought against the other party, but Li San's foot had come into contact with the bow and arrow he shot, so he was able to deduce the opponent's ability.
"Judging from the strength of the bow and arrow, the opponent has at least eight or more combat strength, and if you simply talk about the ability to shoot arrows, you must have at least fifteen or more combat strength."
Li San said honestly, he was still feeling guilty for his mistakes, if he could have been vigilant just now, maybe he would have found out before the other party had no arrows, the tall grass in the distance was indeed a danger, but he didn't send someone to search in advance.
"There are no more than ten people in Chang'an City who have such skills, and there are no more than fifty in the entire Datang."
Qian Ping added in the rear that Li San could only measure the strength of the other party, but Qian Ping knew the entire Chang'an City very well.
Li Xiang still felt that his investigation strength was too weak, if the East Palace had already raised a group of people, judging from some traces of the shot just now, he could basically guess eight or nine, but these people under his command did not have this ability, because they had never encountered a master of Chang'an City before......
