Chapter 190: Welcome to the Holy Drive
These three jin stared at the chicken with their eyes fixed on each other, but they did not dare to move.
Until Li Shimin took the chopsticks, took a bite, raised his eyes and said, "Come and eat, come and eat."
As he said that, he picked up a piece and sent it to a bowl of three pounds.
To be honest... this chicken is really not a delicious treat for Li Shimin, especially the chicken made by this woman. The ingredients are too thin and the taste is still fresh and tender, but after eating too much chicken, it feels bland and boring.
But this chicken is the wages of the Liu family for several days. They treat it warmly. If they don’t eat it, they will be really sorry.
Sanjin dared not eat chicken legs or chicken wings. He carefully picked up the chicken PIGU and chewed it in his mouth. He ate it very delicious.
Liu Laosan kept urging him to drink, and the others seemed very cautious. Only Li Chengqian was hungry, so he took the chicken legs and ate them. After eating, he muttered in a low voice: "It's not as delicious as I did."
Li Shimin drank a few glasses of water and wine, and his whole face was bright. He seemed to enjoy this and continued to have a deep conversation with Liu Laosan, who was a little drunk.
…………
The sky is dim.
This exchange is even more lively.
During the day, many people have to be busy, and only this time is the most leisurely thing.
Cheng Yaojin comes every day. He has a special book that records the current prices of various stocks and writes them in a dense manner.
It’s strange that since the exchange was established, Cheng Yaojin felt that his arithmetic had improved all of a sudden. When he was marching and fighting, he had a headache when he calculated the money and food, and he left it to the subordinates to deal with it.
But now... I found that these numbers seem to have magic power, and each word count is very good, and I can't read enough no matter how you look at it.
Today, he came to the exchange excitedly again. As soon as he came in, he saw Zhang Gongjin and others leaning over here. Several of them were muttering in a low voice like "rise", "current price", "big good news", "promising future".
Cheng Yaojin immediately arrived at their table. Before the friend could pour tea for him, he drank the tea in front of Zhang Gongjin, then sighed and said, "I am not as convenient as you come in the gatekeeper. After all, I am better in the Governor's Office. I am free and comfortable, and there is no need to patrol the gate. In a few days, I will tell His Majesty that I have poor legs and feet, so I will transfer to the Governor's Office. Oh, it's amazing, my steel stocks are rising again."
Cheng Yaojin looked happy.
Someone in the crowd beside him poked his head out and shouted: "Brother-in-law."
Cheng Yaojin looked at it in a blink of an eye. Who was it if it was Cui Ruyi?
He said disgustedly: "Why are you here every day, something that is not doing your job properly? Isn't your father sick? You little beast..."
Cui Ruyi interrupted: "It was my father who asked me to come. If I don't come, he will be more ill. Brother-in-law... why did the porcelain stocks I bought have not risen?"
Cui Ruyi's expression was very entangled.
"You know what's the matter." Cheng Yaojin took out his dense notebook, pinched a charcoal pen, and gestured on it.
He said, "Look, this is called prosperity and decline. It has risen too fiercely a few days ago, so we naturally need to adjust it. Do you still think that it will surge every day? This steel looked slow to rise a few days ago, but there is no need for steel in this world? Should the army be, do the people want farming? This is the daily needs of the people and the army, so... it is very strong. You guy, you bought ceramics from others at a high price. Isn't this stupid?"
"Come on, brother-in-law tells you that there is a new stock here. Brother-in-law has been thinking about it for many days and thinks this stock is quite interesting. Look at this Guandong shipping, which is the industry of the Wang family of Kanto. His family not only builds ships, but also carries out ships. On the surface, it seems that this industry has not grown much, and many people are not interested in shipbuilding... and shipping, how much profit can it be? But think about it again, when the next year comes, will so much porcelain, white salt, and a lot of steel, silk, and cloth be transported out? So what do you need to transport it? Of course, it takes a boat. You can wait and see. The stock price of this shipping is only 76 cents. According to my brother-in-law, after a few months, it will be afraid that it will rise to more than 200 cents."
Cui Ruyi stretched her head and said in surprise: "Take it serious?"
"Will I lie to you?" Cheng Yaojin glared at him.
Cui Ruyi said, "Then I'll collect a little, I don't know who will hold this stock."
Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "I have it here. I bought 7,000 shares a few days ago. If you want it, your brother-in-law will sell you."
When Cui Ruyi heard this, she opened her eyes immediately: "Brother-in-law, do you want to lie to me? Actually, the shipping stock in your hand cannot be taken away! Humph, I'll go back and talk to my sister."
"Beast..." Cheng Yaojin wanted to slap him to death, so he picked up his back and cursed angrily: "You have not grown up, I am teaching you to make a fortune. You are still talking here, get out of here."
Zhang Gongjin and others on the side were persuading the fight: "Don't argue here, what's wrong? They are all uncles, and there is no deep hatred."
Cui Ruyi seemed to have caught a life-saving straw and was confident: "General Zhang, you want to testify to me. You can see if you still have the same brother-in-law as a human being?"
Zhang Gongjin turned a deaf ear to his words, lowered his head and counted his own stocks, but added: "If you want to fight, don't make a noise here."
Cui Ruyi: "..."
Cheng Yaojin ignored Cui Ruyi, sat down again, took out his small notebook as usual, and continued to exchange experiences with Zhang Gongjin and others beside him.
At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly ran over and said, "General Cheng...General Cheng..."
Cheng Yaojin was still sitting in the tea seat, sipped the tea, turning a deaf ear.
The eunuch pinched his thick arm and said anxiously: "General..."
"Who is it?" Cheng Yaojin turned around and saw that it was a eunuch. He said angrily: "What are you doing?"
"General, where is Your Majesty?" The eunuch's voice was very low.
Cheng Yaojin said: "How can I know that His Majesty has two legs."
The eunuch stamped his feet in a hurry: "Empress Changsun is looking for His Majesty if you have something to do. Now Your Majesty is gone. The general is the gatekeeper, responsible for all the city gates. If His Majesty has left the city, you won't know?"
When Cheng Yaojin heard the eunuch talk about Empress Changsun, he was shocked.
Cheng Yaojin has a debt in his stomach. Among the few people who cannot be offended in the Tang Dynasty, Empress Changsun is definitely among the top three!
He immediately said, "Is that true? This is not true. I have to go and search. I immediately summoned the guards of each gate in the guard and checked immediately. What did the Yulin Guard find out?"
"The people have been sent out. It is said that they are in Chongyi Temple. There is a place that is very chaotic. I have to think about going to welcome you."
Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to neglect anymore and patted Zhang Gongjin on the shoulder: "Help me keep an eye on the price of the card."
So he hurriedly followed the eunuch.
…………
At this time, in the thatched hut in Heti, everyone had drunk three rounds, and the atmosphere became more comfortable.
Li Shimin looked so handsome that he found that it was interesting to talk about strange stories about the world with these ordinary people.
"In this way, you also want to send three jin to study?"
Liu Laosan was a little drunk, but he answered very seriously: "Of course, our Liu family has never been to school, but... I think he can't afford to study, and others are stupid. I heard... the Erpigou... is the good place to go. There, many people are studying there. If they could settle there, their salary would be more generous than others. It's a pity... I have no life. If I had known that I would have moved to Erpigou. I heard that there was a Duke of Chen in Erpigou, who was also a good person. He was not like the dog official of the Three Provinces and Six Ministry..."
Fang Xuanling was gnawing at the chicken bones, but when he heard this, his face pulled down: "There are good officials in the three provinces and six ministries."
Liu Laosan smiled: "Aren't those soldiers who show off their power on the streets affiliated with the three provinces and six ministries? They bullied others one by one, who dared to provoke them? The so-called upper beam is not straight, but the lower beam is crooked. Isn't that the so-called "the upper beam is not straight, but the lower beam is crooked? I also heard that Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was the worst. This man has made us suffer the people. The officials below did not dare to go to the clan to urge grain, but they urged us and others to pay the grain every day. They were all in the same group."
Li Shimin glanced at Dai Zhou.
Dai Zhou: "..."
Dai Zhou already felt sad enough today. Who would have expected that Liu Laosan would be stabbed.
Li Shimin pursed his lips and said, "But these people are all people used by the emperor."
Liu Laosan said: "The emperor was blinded by them. They were all above and above. How could they understand the feelings? Think about it, who do these dog officials have been with whom they spend all day together? Are they not those powerful families? Naturally, they will not care about the common people. For nothing more, I am not the emperor. If I were the emperor, I would pull them one by one on the river bank and slaughter them one by one, and maybe the world would be more purified."
Dai Zhou felt that he was feeling cold now!
Li Shimin smiled and said, "If you are the emperor, wouldn't you kill innocent people like this? "
When Liu Laosan thought about it, he nodded and said, "The emperor must have the emperor's consideration. We are a commoner, so it is better not to argue. We can make us live a peaceful life. We are already grateful. But to be honest, if I see the emperor, I still have a few words to say..."
It is said that alcohol can enhance courage, but he is so drunk that he dares to say anything.
Li Shimin is about to ask, what do you want to say?
At this time... someone suddenly said outside: "My teacher Cheng Yaojin welcomes the emperor."
Cheng Yaojin's voice was very loud, which was particularly terrifying on this night.
Liu Laosan was shocked: "Who is shouting, who is shouting, Sanjin, go out and see who is rude."
Sanjin said with a well-behaved sound, and hurried out of the hut barefoot.
This look... was shocked!
I saw countless people outside the hut wearing armor, looming in the night, countless people crowded with people, as if they could not see the end.
Sanjin was so shocked that his face turned pale!
"Dad...Dad...You scolded the dog official, they are here to catch you, run away!"
Sanjin let out a shrill shout.
Chapter completed!
