Chapter 55: The Insidious His Majesty Li Er
"Your Highness, my subordinates have found out clearly. Next month, next month, a waterway conference between Buddha and Taoist families will be held at Xingshan Temple. At that time, not only the temples near Chang'an and Taoist temples will participate, but also the temples of other temples in Taoist temples will also send people to participate."
"Oh? Is this a coincidence? It's so good. I'm worried that I can't find the right opportunity. I'm really looking for death!" Li Chengqian was very happy. The opportunity he needed appeared so quickly and didn't need to do anything himself. Originally, he planned to create an opportunity himself if he couldn't find the right opportunity. Now that he has this "Buddhist Conference", it saves too much trouble.
"Okay, you always pay attention to the movements of the Buddhist and Taoist conference. I want to know who is attending this conference... I won't care about other places for now, but I want all the detailed information of the participants from several Taoist governments near Guanzhong Dao. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!"
"Yeah, go down and do your business."
"I'm leaving!"
Seeing the person whom His Majesty Li Er gave him to his command leave respectfully, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shake his head.
Of course, he was not because of something wrong with this person, but because he felt that His Majesty Li Er was indeed "insidious".
Why do you say that? Because the person Li Chengqian, who just retired, can be said to be both familiar and unfamiliar.
I am familiar with it because he has seen this person more than once... The first time he met was when he left the palace and had a conflict with Li Yuanchang. At that time, this person was a vendor on the street, and Li Chengqian even bargained with him for half a day.
The second time I saw it was outside the palace. In the "Food is the Sky" I opened, this was a rich child who was rich in fine clothes and spent a lot of money at that time!
The third time was "food is the best". At that time, this guy was a beggar who was waiting outside the back door for the restaurant to deliver leftovers...
Let’s talk about it here. When Li Chengqian established the restaurant, he asked his restaurant to not pour out the leftovers of the guests directly, and must be sorted and packed, and then donated them to the beggars in Chang'an City.
Because of this, there are hundreds of people waiting in line every day at the two "food is the sky" back doors of Chang'an City in the east city. As for the two restaurants in the west city... there is no beggar at all!
However, these people in Dongshi Restaurant are not only beggars, but also many ordinary people or children... The food of "food is the best" is unique. Not only is it delicious, but even the leftovers are not directly mixed like other restaurants. Instead, they are collected in different categories, which is relatively clean.
Back to the topic, Li Chengqian himself did not remember this person who appeared in front of him several times in different images. He was the "oral order" of His Majesty Li Er to go to Chang'an City to get the funds for the "uncles" in his "uncles" in order to get the shares. He met him again as a servant, and only after Wei Tai reminded him to know.
He was said to be stranger, because until today he really knew the identity of this person. He was a captain of the "Hundred Cavalry" under His Majesty Li Er, who was usually responsible for secretly protecting the safety of the prince... Li Chengqian was right at the beginning. His Majesty Li Er did arrange for people to secretly protect him every time he went out, but when no matter what threatened Li Chengqian's life safety occurred, these people would not take action easily.
If not, Li Chengqian and Li Yuanchang had a conflict last time. The next day, the censor reported that the prince and the King of Han were jealous of a woman and fought in the street. If His Majesty Li Er didn't know the truth, how could he have never mentioned Li Chengqian? You must know that His Majesty Li Er felt guilty and was very "forgive" to his existing younger brothers and sisters!
This time, because His Majesty Li Er assigned full authority to deal with matters related to Xingshan Temple, Li Chengqian asked his father for a person, and His Majesty Li Er directly handed over the Baiqisi to him to command... Of course, Li Chengqian also knew that he could only let the Baiqisi people complete what he had assigned, and would not naively think that the other party would completely obey him.
...
After explaining the "Buddhist Conference", Li Chengqian turned his attention back to how to make money.
There is no way. I was cheated by my father and asked those uncles to get money. They were very happy and handed over a lot of copper coins to Li Chengqian directly. However, what they said to Li Chengqian made him happy at all. Their words mean that since you can turn 200,000 guan into one million guan in just a few months, there has not been any illegal or illegal acts, but it will benefit the people... Then can the money we give you double in a short time?
Facing everyone's "Yingying's expectations", what can Li Chengqian do? He can only bite the bullet! Otherwise, offend these people... Forget it, think carefully about how to make money with this huge sum of millions of dollars!
That’s right, the investment was only 300,000 yuan last time, but this time it tripled more than one million yuan, directly exceeding one million yuan! Li Chengqian was a little suspicious. Is this still the Tang Dynasty known for its integrity?
"Xia He, what do you think you are making the most money?" After thinking hard for a long time, there are many ideas to make money, but there are no ones that can be used at this time.
The most profitable projects in later generations were not suitable for the Tang Dynasty.
"I don't know. When I was a child, I was just an ordinary farmer at home and did not do business..."
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes. He sometimes felt very smart, and his mind rusted at the critical moment.
"Real estate cannot be developed, the poor are too poor to buy houses, and the rich have houses... Give up! Mining is useless, and there is no heavy industry to develop, and there is no use to dig coal... Give up! The Silk Road is too far, and the Western Regions have not been completely conquered yet, so it is not safe... Give up! The buyer and sell population... Bah bah bah bah bah, how can people who have been influenced by socialism do this... Give up! What should we do?"
Li Chengqian grabbed his hair with a distressed face. The most painful thing in life is this. He has obviously a mountain of gold and silver, but he doesn't know how to spend it...
"Report to Your Highness, the King of Shu is asking for a meeting."
Just when Li Chengqian was struggling, the guards informed Li Ke that he had arrived.
