Li Xiaogong sat in the main seat and said to Suning with a smile: "My Sanyuan is young, but this measure is quite large. What do you admire me? When I was fourteen years old, I was far inferior to Mr. Sanyuan, and I was able to achieve such achievements! The future of Mr. Sanyuan is unlimited!"

Suning smiled and said, "As the saying goes, eight out of ten things are unsatisfactory in life. If you don't have relative measures and encounter unpleasant things, you will be angry. How can you make achievements and be kept in history? Master once said that after all, human power is limited. Those with narrow minds cannot achieve good achievements no matter what. Without a broad mind, you cannot accommodate people or things that can make achievements and be kept in history. How can you make achievements and be kept in history?

As Cao Mengde said, mountains are never tired of high and seas are never tired of deep; and it is like the sea that contains all rivers, with tolerance being large, with a wall standing thousands of feet high, without desire being strong, these are the same. Therefore, those who can be as high as the king must be broad-minded, and how can they be compared to those who are just below?"

Li Xiaogong's favor for Suning immediately raised his level, especially the sentence "The sea is embracing all rivers, and being tolerant is great, and being a wall stands thousands of feet high, and being strong without desires is strong." It is especially true that Li Xiaogong's appetite. At a young age, he can understand such principles, and it is no wonder that he can achieve such achievements. In time, this son will be an important official in the court!

Li Chongyi, who was sitting aside, heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. After savoring it, he showed an incredible expression.

"The sea embraces all rivers, and tolerance is great. The wall stands thousands of feet high. Without desires, it is strong. The great principle of dealing with people and things in the world is in these sixteen words. It is no wonder that Sanyuan Bo can understand this principle. Is it true that he can achieve such a success? How dare you ask who this sentence comes from? Or is it because Sanyuan Bo himself has feelings?" Li Xiaogong asked.

Although Suning thought that pirated copies in ancient times was quite interesting, anyway, this world is no longer the original world. Those authors have not been born yet, and they are their own words. However, Suning really likes this sentence very much. It was also what the old man told him. And Suning wrote these sixteen words five hundred times, so Suning decided to give the credit to the old man. As for Lin Zexu, he had to say sorry...

"This is a thought of the teacher. The purpose is to warn me to keep my heart and have a sufficient mind at all times. Only in this way can I continue to grow, rather than being self-confidant and arrogant." Suning said, and Li Xiaogong nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Respecting the teacher is a master. I have heard a little, and being able to understand this truth can be a master of a generation. Is the word "Sanyuan Bobiao" Sanming?"

Suning nodded: "That's right!"

Li Xiaogong nodded: "Then, will I call you Sanming in this private occasion?"

Suning was just asking for something, so how could he not agree? So he smiled slightly: "I really want it, I dare not ask for it."

Li Xiaogong smiled with satisfaction and said, "Since that's the case, Sanming, don't say anything from the king. It sounds awkward. Chongyi is my eldest son. He is twenty-one this year. His youngest son Chongzhen is also eighteen years old. He is not much different from you and can be considered a fellow generation. Just call my uncle. Is that good?"

Suning bowed: "Then I'll pay homage to Uncle Li!"

Li Xiaogong smiled with satisfaction: "Well, um! Chongyi, although Sanming is young, the truth that can be understood is far more than you. If you can find opportunities in the future, you can get closer to Sanming and learn something! Do you understand?" Li Chongyi bowed to Li Xiaogong: "My father's teachings, I dare not refuse to follow! Brother Sanming, Chongyi is polite! I need to take care of him in the future."

Li Chongyi listened to Li Xiaogong's words very much, so he bowed to Suning. Suning quickly returned the gift: "Brother Chongyi is so polite. When he is young, how can he be worth taking care of him?"

Li Xiaogong waved his hand: "Sanming, don't be humble. I am old. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will depend on you young people. Young people need mutual support to go further." How could Suning hear the meaning of Li Xiaogong's words? Now I need a lot of help. If people are gentle, they must have enough people to help them so that they can reach a position that can be enough to show their abilities.

Li Xiaogong took the initiative to extend his olive branch, how could Suning have no reason to go on? So Suning bowed deeply to Li Xiaogong: "I will follow Uncle Li's teachings."

Li Xiaogong laughed with satisfaction: "Hahaha! The child can teach, the child can teach, by the way, Sanming, why did you come to my house today? You just say a few words, right? Is it because of the little girl?"

Suning was depressed. It should have been nothing. Who knew that Li Ruihan kicked herself again today? What does this mean? But this matter cannot be said at this time, otherwise everyone would find it strange. So Suning shook his head and said, "I have already understood the matter with the princess, and my nephew has never taken it to heart. I came to see my uncle today for another thing."

Li Xiaogong felt a little disappointed, but he still smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Suning said: "I'm not hiding it from my uncle, my nephew and his second and third friends have raised some money, wanting to find a good place and build a restaurant."

When Li Chongyi said this, it was not only strange to Li Chongyi, but also to Li Xiaogong: "Dinner? Sanming, you want to buy some industries? Why? You should not need them now! Although this industry is not common among the wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty, they are all things that are crowded by the wealthy families and the court's salary is not enough to survive, and they are often looked down upon. Sanming, your future is very open, why do you have to do these things?"

Suning said: "This is also some of my nephew's ideas. As for why, Uncle Li will understand when the restaurant is opened. Now please let me keep it a secret, okay?"

Li Xiaogong shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, you young people should do whatever they want. I don't care about it, but what does it have to do with you if you want to open a restaurant?"

Suning said: "Uncle made great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty in the past. He pacified Xiao Xian in Nanping, fought against Bashu, pacified Fu Gongyou's rebellion, and had great military achievements and great reputation. There are many waterways in this Jiangnan area, so my uncle also commanded the navy. I believe there are many good water experts in my uncle's family. What my nephew said is correct?"

Li Xiaogong first smiled, and the feeling of being flattered was pretty good, then he showed a puzzled look: "There are many good water players in my family, but what is the connection between you want to buy a restaurant and this good water player? Fish? Then don't you need to come and find me?"

Suning shook his head and said, "It's not a fish. All this has been arranged or is being carried out. The only thing that cannot be started is sugar."

Li Xiaogong was obviously shocked, and Li Chongyi was also shocked. Li Xiaogong hurriedly said: "Sugar? Sugarcane? Do you want to get sugarcane from the waterway to Guangzhou?"

As a great man, he followed the clues and found the key points. Suning nodded and said, "That's right."

Li Xiaogong shook his head: "The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal opened by Yang Guang is not perfect. The northern section is not good, but the southern section is very difficult to travel. My father used to command the navy to the south and knew all this. At present, the sugar workshops in Chang'an also take the northern section of the waterway first, then take the land route, cross the Meiling Ancient Road, and go to the Lingnan area. The road is bumpy and dangerous, so sugar is so expensive. You can do it. But this is too difficult."

Suning smiled and said, "I naturally have a way. My nephew's idea is not to choose the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, but to go from Chang'an, go east until the estuary, turn south, sail along the land route, take the sea route, take the Lingnan route, get the sugarcane north, and then return along the original route. Considering that the Yellow River flows rapidly, the water flows rapidly, the water route takes the land route, the boat travels blankly, and the water flows smoothly, and the north is safe enough, so you don't have to worry about anything else when you go back and forth."

Li Xiaogong frowned, then hesitated and said, "Even if this is possible, the sugar cane is retrieved, but how do you make sugar? The method of making sugar is a secret, how can you get it?"

Suning smiled: "It is still possible to get salt from the braised salt. So what's the difficulty of making sugar? The niece naturally has a way to make the purest frosting sugar. The quality of the purest frosting sugar will not be worse than that used in the palace. As for this cost issue, as long as it is sold, the price will naturally not be low. As for the tricks, I am also prepared. At that time, I just have to wait for wealthy families and wealthy businessmen to spend money. The sugar made in Chang'an's sugar workshops are too bad and there are a lot of impurities. They are even treating it as treasures, and my nephew is disdainful!

My nephew came to see Uncle Li because of the cost issue. Like those workshops, it was too dangerous to choose land and too expensive. However, if you choose to go on the sea, it would be safe. The time spent on one thing is much less. If Uncle Li can help, the future benefits will be obtained."
