Chapter 33 The team of making a fortune is growing

Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Highness, the King of Shu and the King of Wei have already seen that we are taking this move. Unfortunately, they are too late. Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Can't you see their purpose?"

Li Chengqian asked, "Then what should I do? Do I force the King of Qi to leave?"

Changsun Wuji said, "No, you also have to go to protect King Qi."

Li Chengqian didn't understand, and he asked, "Aren't we just going to let the King of Qi leave? Why do we have to protect him?"

Zhang Xuansu said, "Your Highness, Lord Changsun is so tall. Since Your Majesty can see clearly, how could he be influenced by them? In this case, why don't you also try to keep the King of Qi and show your love for your brothers?"

Li Chengqian understood and said, "Okay, I will also write a letter to plead for my fifth brother."

Changsun Wuji said, "That's it. The key to staying and leaving by the King of Qi lies in your mother's queen. As long as she insists on letting the King of Wei leave, she will definitely let the King of Qi leave first. Your Majesty will definitely obey your mother's queen's opinion.

As for your mother, I will do my job.”

Li Chengqian said, "Uncle, I understand."

Li Zheng Hall.

In a slightly simple bedroom, a middle-aged beautiful woman is feeding a child. This middle-aged beautiful woman is Empress Changsun. She is 35 years old and dignified and beautiful. Although she is the queen, she has no arrogance and extravagance on her face. She always has a smile on her face, which is very friendly.

Empress Changsun is not an ordinary woman. She is very independent, soft on the outside and strong on the inside. During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin was besieged by the old subordinates of Prince Yin Li Jiancheng. In the critical moment, she braved the heavy rain and went out of the city to ask for help from Changsun Shunde, rescued Li Shimin, and her body also fell into the root of illness.

At this moment, there was a hint of anxiety and helplessness on her beautiful face.

In front of her was a young girl about 3 years old. The little guy was anorexia and refused to eat. Queen Changsun was at a loss.

At this time, the eunuch came in to report that the Queen Yin asked for a meeting.

Empress Changsun ordered the medical officer to continue to think about letting the children have dinner, and went to the guest room to meet Yin Fei.

As soon as Yin Fei saw Empress Changsun, she knelt on the ground. She cried and said, "My sister, I am the only child, You'er. If he leaves Chang'an, I will have no relatives. Besides, You'er has never left Chang'an since he was a child. He is only sixteen years old, so I'm not worried that he will go to such a faraway place. I also ask the Empress sister to plead with His Majesty for me."

Empress Changsun helped Yin Fei up, let her sit down, and said patiently: "Sister, I understand your mood. I have so many children. If one of them leaves, I will feel sad. Besides, you are the child like You'er! I can naturally understand your mood."

Concubine Yin cried, "Yes, sister, please plead for You'er and keep him."

Queen Changsun sighed and said, "Sister, it's not that I don't plead for him. We sisters are in the palace, and you understand some things if I don't tell you. It is said that Taier and Keer are older than Youer, so they should leave first if they want to leave, but..."

She shook her head and said, "You understand some things if I don't tell you. Sister, this matter can only be wronged by You'er. I can't guarantee anything else. As long as You'er leaves Chang'an, I will let Taier leave Chang'an immediately."

When Empress Yin saw Empress Changsun saying this, she had to wipe her tears and say goodbye and leave.

Empress Changsun hurried back to the bedroom to take care of her daughter.

Yiyang Prince's Mansion.

Li You is already the King of Qi, but he is about to leave. The plaque of the palace still reads the Yiyang Palace.

At the dining table in the living room, four people were sitting. The one with round face and big eyes was Cheng Yaojin, and the one with black face was Yuchi Gong, the other two were Li You and Yin Guanghao.

Recently, Li You's performance has been remarkable, especially the victory of this war in the fight against Tuyuhun, which has made many people in the military feel good about Li You. Cheng Yaojin's personality is similar to Li You, and he is both generous and clever. As the saying goes, he wants to vote, but no, he is sympathetic. He always likes Li You and has helped Li You in the court many times.

Yuchi Gong didn't speak much, he was a dull person. Perhaps because of his complementary personalities, he and Cheng Yaojin were very close friends. He also had some good feelings for Li You, so he came to visit Li You with Cheng Yaojin.

After tasting Li You's food, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong both liked it very much. Cheng Yaojin said, "No wonder your highness said that everyone else eats pig food, and the meal here is indeed extraordinary."

Yuchi Gong was speechless, but his attitude of eating with relish showed his attitude.

Li You smiled and said, "Overall, the third in the world."

Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Highness, I heard that your bread is selling well, so you will be rich."

Li You widened his eyes and said in a pretense of anger: "Uncle Cheng, you can't talk nonsense. When did I sell bread?"

Cheng Yaojin said disdainfully: "You can hide it from others, but you can hide it from me? Uncle Cheng, I have always supported you. It's too unrighteous for you to make a secret fortune, right?"

He pointed to the magpie and said, "Little magpie, tell me, is that magpie trading company in West City run by your prince?"

The magpie dared not answer and looked at Li You.

Li You smiled and said, "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Yuchi, how about you? Do you want to get rich?"

Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "This is almost the same. Your brick tea is a good thing, and you can't buy it on the market now." Indeed, the current output of brick tea is too low, and it is basically given to the palace.

Li You said, "Two uncles, do you still see that little money? Let's do a big business together. Magpie, go and bring our treasures."

The magpie quickly brought a box and placed it on the table.

Li You opened it and it was filled with a box of white particles.

Cheng Yaojin asked: "What is this?"

Li You pinched a small pinch of white particles with his fingers and put them in his mouth, saying, "You try it."

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong followed his example and pinched a small handful of particles from the box and put them into their mouths.

"Hmm? What is this? It's so sweet?" Cheng Yaojin said in surprise.

Yuchi Gong also said: "Sweet."

Li You said: "This is called white sugar, which is extracted from purple sugar."

"Good thing. However, this number is too small to make a fortune." Cheng Yaojin's wife is the daughter of the Cui clan of Shandong. She runs a huge business in the clan, and Cheng Yaojin is no stranger to doing business.

Purple sugar is trafficked from Tianzhu. The journey is long and the quantity is not large, and the price is extremely high. Each kilogram of purple sugar is sold for 2,400 yuan per kilogram. If white sugar is extracted from it, the quantity will definitely be smaller. Even if the price is high, it will not make a fortune.

Li You smiled and said, "Two uncles, you don't know this. This white sugar can be extracted directly from sugarcane. Indians do not understand the production process. We can buy sugarcane directly and produce it ourselves. I can guarantee that the cost will not exceed 200 yuan per kilogram."
