Li Kuan returned to his room and began to renew and wash under the service of the maid.

After cleaning up, Minglan appeared appropriately with refreshments.

"Why didn't you talk to them about your new life?"

Li Kuan drank the tea made by Minglan himself and asked with a smile.

A pot of tea, a plate of snacks, and two books, this is Li Kuan's rest life.

Minglan took the initiative to walk behind Li Kuan, rubbed his shoulders, and said softly: "I don't have the ability of a few ladies and Fang Yu, I will only take care of His Highness, and I only need to take care of His Highness, Your Highness is good, I am good, Your Highness is not good, I am not good." ”

Li Kuan sighed lightly in his heart, the education of the Li family is really powerful, which makes Minglan revolve around Li Kuan's whole personality and thoughts.

To put it bluntly, it is to subconsciously integrate Minglan into it.

Li Kuan held her hand and said easily: "It's good, just follow me and take it slowly." ”

Minglan gently pulled it out and continued to rub Li Kuan's shoulders to relax his body.

After reading the book for a while, a maid came to report, and the shopkeeper Lin came.

"Go pick it up."

Minglan personally went out to greet her.

Shopkeeper Lin's body trembled when he saw him being welcomed into the study.

It's so exciting that I was lucky enough to step into the master's study.

Minglan personally poured a cup of tea for Shopkeeper Lin before leaving.

"Something?"

Li Kuan looked at Shopkeeper Lin and asked with a smile.

He didn't look for it, it was Shopkeeper Lin who took the initiative to come over.

Shopkeeper Lin said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the businessmen who come and go to the Western Regions have collectively come to me, hoping to see you." ”

Raising his eyebrows, Li Kuan was a little puzzled, what are you looking for me?

Because the tax exemption of the aristocracy was abolished before, many of the current merchants in Datang are big businessmen, and Datang is now prevalent in investing in factories to drive the development of the people, so the status of these free businessmen has been greatly improved compared with before.

However, I don't have much to do with them.

Li Kuan knows very well that there is not a single big businessman in his network.

"What do you think they are looking for me?"

Li Kuan took a sip of tea, covered his thoughtful expression, and asked Shopkeeper Lin.

Shopkeeper Lin looked at Li Kuan cautiously, swallowed his saliva, and said more carefully: "Perhaps, they want to cooperate with His Highness." ”

"Cooperation?"

Li Kuan raised his eyebrows again, this is interesting, what is the cooperation? What is there to work with.

His commercial kingdom is backed by the royal family and a number of officials in the relationship network of the Chu Palace, so it seems that there is no place to cooperate.

Shopkeeper Lin shuddered in fright, and continued: "Your Highness, I said it wrong, not to cooperate, but to ask you,"

"Perhaps, they want to become the nobles of the Tang Dynasty through you."

This sentence made Li Kuan's heart beat a little.

Squinting his eyes, Li Kuan looked at Shopkeeper Lin, and he suddenly remembered one thing, he seemed to have neglected a capable and rich class.

However, through this incident, Li Kuan remembered another reason, these businessmen came to him to take the road of becoming a nobleman, and it must be impossible to go anywhere else.

And they must have come because they knew something.

For those top businessmen, Li Kuan didn't dare to underestimate them, their strength and power were also heavenly.

Although this day is a bit small, it is also a day.

In addition, there are many well-informed people among the people they can meet.

Therefore, Li Kuan quickly figured out something and said slowly: "They know about you." ”

Li Kuan gave Shopkeeper Lin an easy military exploit, Li Kuan felt that the news must have been leaked, which was also the reason why those businessmen felt that they could go through his path.

The corners of Li Kuan's mouth hooked up a smile, and he smiled and said to Shopkeeper Lin: "See, I must see you, it's better to see you tonight." ”

"I guess they should all be in the Western Regions now, so let's just find them, I'm going to go to all parts of the Western Regions tomorrow to see the industrial structure."

Shopkeeper Lin was stunned, was it so fast?

Li Kuan looked at him quietly, smiled, and didn't speak, the meaning was obvious, I will wait for this night.

When Shopkeeper Lin wanted to say something, Li Kuan spoke again: "Shopkeeper Lin, please pay attention to your identity." ”

Shopkeeper Lin immediately woke up, looked at Li Kuan in a panic, and opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Li Kuan shaking his hand, and he didn't need to say anything more.

Shopkeeper Lin hurriedly confessed and left.

After Shopkeeper Lin left, Minglan immediately walked in.

Li Kuan looked at Minglan and said directly: "Go and prepare a dinner." ”

"A mid-level banquet."

Li Kuan didn't want to give them too much face.

I invite you, you are not worthy of a high-level banquet.

Shopkeeper Lin returned to his home, and a group of wealthy businessmen were already waiting here.

"Lao Lin, how's it going?"

"Lao Lin, your face."

"Lao Lin, is something wrong?"

。

A group of people, looking at Shopkeeper Lin's ugly face, stepped forward to inquire one after another.

Shopkeeper Lin took a deep breath, looked at everyone tiredly, and said in an even more tired tone: "Let's talk tonight, King Chu is waiting for us in the mansion." ”

At this moment, it was the turn of a group of businessmen's faces to change, they were all the biggest businessmen in the north of the Tang Dynasty, their power in their own territory was not small, and they were very smart, they knew what Li Kuan meant at once, this is not to give them a chance, there is no chance to discuss at all.

A group of people, looking at each other.

"Maybe the King of Chu is testing our courage, everyone, let's go and gamble together, how about it?"

A middle-aged businessman said in a deep voice.

The rest of the people looked at him, their brows furrowed, and they didn't say anything.

This matter is not something that can be done by talking, there are too many things in it.

That shrewd King of Chu is likely to press them step by step and compress them to the limit.

"Have you ever remembered the martial arts?"

"A gamble to fly."

The middle-aged businessman who had just spoken spoke again.

A group of people was silent for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"Go to the house and get a present."

"Let's go, since you want to fight, you can't be too entangled."

"The king of Chu has made a move, let's continue."

……。

A group of people spoke one after another.

Shopkeeper Lin also breathed a sigh of relief, his teammates still have a good temperament.

When Li Kuan heard the first businessman asking to see him, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile and asked Minglan to serve the food.

"It's not bad, this heart is still very good, in the face of danger, dare to gamble."

In the main hall of the mansion, Li Kuan sat here, waiting quietly, and did not get up to greet him.

Mei Niang and the others were placed in the back by Li Kuan, and they were not allowed to come over.

The merchants put down their gifts, saluted Li Kuan when they came in, and then found a place to sit down.

Looking at the positions of their own platoons, Li Kuan could roughly distinguish their respective levels.
