Chapter 74: The Gathering of Gentlemen (I)
(Thank you for the reward from Sheng Huaien, who loves Doraemon.) This author platform may be something I don't understand. I can't see who rewarded yesterday. You can only see the tip list. Because there was a reward yesterday, I added a new chapter today. You can't spend money in vain, it's not my character. )
Cheng Chuliang's eyes lit up when he heard Li Shen talk about solving their life problems. Now in Chang'an, which of these officials and eunuchs doesn't know that King Ji is rich and rich, and it took five or six hundred thousand yuan to build a palace. Top his family's income for ten years. If King Ji turns stones into gold, let them make a little money. Wouldn't their lives be better?
"Then I don't know how the prince is going to solve it." Yu Chi Baoqi also asked anxiously
"So be it. Two older brothers. It's not a problem at all to solve your problems. I'll throw you two a handful of what you're used to, and that's enough for you two to squander. But we also have to consider whether the other brothers are right. To be a brother is to be righteous. ”
Cheng Chuliang and Yu Chi Baoqi were about to cry. If you look at what people are talking about, they can do it at every turn. I heard Li Shen continue: "The two elder brothers are tired today to gather all the good ones to play with you. Including all the children of the national family. One counts as one. Let them come to my house tomorrow, and tomorrow I will have a feast in my house. We have a meeting to discuss how to improve our standard of living. ”
"All called? There must be more than 100 of them. And some of them belong to the civilian family, and our military general's family doesn't deal with them very well. Cheng Chuliang was surprised that Li Shen had to solve the problem of so many people.
"Brothers, don't you know the truth that there is great strength in numbers? Many things really have to be done by the children of this group of civil officials. You really can't do it. We want to be both civil and military. The pattern should be large. Our business is all about the world. Here, Chang'an can make a few bucks. Li Shen looked at Cheng Chuliang with contempt. Asked again
"What do you think is important compared to money?"
"Anyway, for me, nothing matters compared to money." Yu Chi Baoqi said firmly
"Then we'll start gathering people in a moment." Cheng Chuliang made up his mind. I can't live a miserable life anymore. Look at the style of King Ji going out. The subordinates followed, and the guards went out of the carriage.
"Okay, then we'll see you at the palace tomorrow." Li Shen also got up to leave.
Everyone went downstairs to the counter to settle the bill. Let Cheng Chuliang and Yu Chi Baoqi also feel inferior. I saw that the stone arrived at the counter, grabbed a handful of copper coins from the pocket Li Shen made for him, threw it on the counter, and said "don't count" without looking back, and left.
The eyes of the two people who watched were straight. Such a loser. This handful of 100 yuan, they drink a tea tea for only a few dozen yuan. Watch the movement of the stone flow smoothly. It's not the first time I've done this.
Before Li Shen got into the carriage, he turned to the two and said, "There is one more thing I forgot to say. Two kinds of people can't be found. First, the children of the noble family cannot be found. I can't pee with them. Second, if you are close to my eldest brother and fourth brother, you can't find it, and it will be very troublesome in the future. Remembered. After that, he got in the car and left
The two looked at the carriage in the distance, and Cheng Chuliang said: "Did Baoqi see it, this is the son of a gentleman, a model for my generation." ”
"Yes, second brother, compared to King Ji, I think we are a flower child." Yu Chi Baoqi also agreed
"Let's go, let's go on errands, I'm Aya and said that King Ji is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth. This could be our chance. Go home and call the brothers out to find someone. Cheng Chuliang patted Yu Chi Baoqi's shoulder and said
The two of them began to act. By the evening, all the officials in the capital had known the news. King Ji summoned the second generation of disciples to conspire together. This is Cheng Chuliang's original words.
If Li Shen heard it, he would have to vomit blood. Are you still conspiring to rebel? And not all the second generation has been invited. The second generation who were invited were called to the study by their parents for questioning at night. Those second generations who were not invited began to feel uncomfortable.
Li Shimin also knew the news and knew that Li Shen had started to act, but he was also curious about the conspiracy they said. Li Shimin didn't think that Li Shen would rebel.
"That's all for Your Majesty's news, and we won't know until tomorrow what it is. However, the idea of collusion was initiated by Cheng Chuliang. It's not what King Ji said. "Ang Lee is now in charge of the Hundred Horsemen and the Thousand Horsemen. Anything that happens in Chang'an City is reported by secret agents
"I know it won't be Li Shen's words. In Li Shen's words, what he is most afraid of is that people die and the money is not spent. Li Shimin said as he drank tea
"Wang De, send two people to the palace early tomorrow morning. Write down all their words. The reason is that I have sent someone to supervise the completion of his work. Li Shen, don't look at it as a child, in fact, he knows a lot of things. Including his house has our eyeliner. But the kid didn't care at all. Just tell your subordinates to pay attention to Li Shen's words and deeds. There are some secrets of Li Shen not to explore. For example, what he researched. In this way, Li Shen will not rebound, and I still hope that he can do things for Datang. Li Shimin still knows a little bit about Li Shen.
"Yes, everyone, I'll do it"
The next day, King Ji's Mansion, this gang of gentlemen began to arrive together. Li Shen had already asked people to set up tables and chairs in the front yard. There were more than a hundred people. The scene was chaotic.
I don't know what Li Shen asked them to do. But from the seats, you can tell that they are divided into two factions. The children of civil officials are factional, and the children of military attaches are factions. And the fight is basically a fight between these two factions.
After Li Shen came out, everyone saluted. After all, Li Shen is the prince. Li Shen motioned for everyone to sit down. Then stand on the steps. There is also a podium on the steps. It was built by Li Shen overnight. There's also a wooden pier inside. Otherwise, Li Shen is not tall enough now.
"Brothers. Now I declare the official opening of the First Circle of Chang'an Gentlemen Conference. As he spoke, Li Shen began to applaud. Although everyone didn't understand, Li Shen clapped his hands. They'll follow suit.
"The king knows that all of you here may have a great prejudice against saying that you are the sons of gentlemen. But this king can tell you that you are not a fool in the eyes of this king. Because you have not yet reached the standard of gentleness, you are not worthy of the title of gentleman."
The people below looked at Li Shen unconvinced after hearing this. None of the people in Chang'an City said that they were gentlemen. It's not good, but it's true. But Li Shen said that they had not yet reached the standard of gentlemen and were not worthy of being gentlemen.
"His Royal Highness King Ji, you said that we are not worthy of being gentlemen, so what do you say is gentleness." Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yu, who was in the crowd, stood up and asked
"That's a good question, you think you're a fool, but what have you done, fighting? Scourge to the people? Qinglou is jealous? Is it a fool to bully men and women with a few dog legs all day long? Try to bully this king. That's all you can do. You go to the various squares to see if those ruffians, hooligans, and idle people are also doing these things. What's the difference between you and them? Li Shen looked at the people below with disdain
"Then what do you mean by the prince," Cheng Chuliang asked very cooperatively
"The real gentleman should go his own way, spend money like dirt, live a luxurious life, be extravagant, and not afraid of power. It's a shame for me to bully ordinary people. The children who bully the princes and nobles are the equality of identity. This king scolded all the ministers in the court. Let them be speechless. The construction of this palace by this king cost five or six hundred thousand guan. You've probably heard of the level of luxury. This king never buys the best, only the most expensive. Even if I see a beggar on the street, I will throw a lot of money. Which of you has my extravagance. Even I, Aya, said that I was extremely sloppy," Li Shen said proudly
