Chapter 717 He is really greedy(1/2)
"Caoyuan is so big that it opens my eyes."
After sitting down, Li Chi smiled and said, "I don't see Cao Yuan and don't know the lack of knowledge. No wonder the late Emperor of Great Chu traveled here three times four times, which really makes people linger."
A group of people from the Cao family quickly agreed. Although they thought Li Chi was a local bun in their hearts, they still had to be respectful on the surface.
Anyway, they are familiar with this kind of drama, and they are naturally unstoppable when performing it.
Only Cao Lie sat there as if he was dazed, but in fact he was thinking about what Li Chi would do in a while.
In Jiangnan and Jiangbei, who is a wealthy family, who doesn’t scold Li Chi to the point of being bloody?
Which family in Jiangnan and Jiangbei is a wealthy family, who doesn’t know that Li Chi is insatiable?
Others would like to have the support of a wealthy family, but only Li Chi kept plundering and even wanted face. He was called ugly in a greedy manner.
It is precisely because everyone knows that the Cao family knows that they feel a little resentful when they see Li Chi.
I look down on it, either.
Cao Lie's third uncle, Cao Dengke, who also has a very important position in the Cao family, smiled and said, "If your highness likes this place, you will always live here when you were in Yuzhou."
He looked at Li Chi and said, "If Your Highness can move into Caoyuan, the Cao family will be honored."
Li Chi said: "Forget it, let's raise troops to rebel against Chu. This is the imperial garden of the Emperor of Chu in Yuzhou. If I live in..."
"no!"
Cao Lie immediately said: "Although this place has received the Grand Chu Emperor, it is not the royal garden. From the construction to the maintenance of this Cao Garden, it has been invested by the Cao family. It has never used a penny for the imperial court, so it cannot be considered the imperial court or the royal family."
Li Chi looked at Cao Lie.
He saw such a strong self-protection in Cao Lie's eyes.
Cao Lie was waiting for Li Chi to have a pitfall.
Li Chi said this is the Royal Garden of the Royal Family, so he might directly order the sealing...
Although he felt that Li Chi would not use such direct and rude means, he was still careful.
Li Chi smiled, and Tang Pidian, who was sitting next to him, also laughed.
In terms of military tactics, Cao Lie has been doing everything step by step since Li Chi entered Cao Garden.
Li Chi stood up: "If I'm not in a hurry to eat, I want to walk around the garden. I don't know if it's feasible?"
Cao Lie hurriedly said, "I will accompany Your Highness."
Li Chi nodded: "Then it's going to be a labor."
When he was together, everyone from the Cao family quickly got up and followed.
Li Chi turned around in Cao Garden, and the more he turned, the more he became more and more interested he became. The more he turned, the more frightened Cao Lie became.
Li Chi stopped in front of this famous painting for a while, and then stopped in front of that treasure.
He seemed to be in a hurry to have a meal at all. From the beginning to the present, the things he had seen were worth hundreds of thousands of taels in total.
At the beginning, except Cao Lie, the people in the Cao family didn't think much about it. The more Li Chi looked at it, the more they felt that Li Chi was unaware of it.
But as I looked, most of them noticed something was wrong.
Because the more I look at it, the more I feel that Li Chi has a kind of... I like this, that, and all these things I like.
Cao Lie said: "Your Highness, the food has been prepared long ago, so let's have a meal first."
Li Chi said: "There is no hurry to eat, I will study more."
Cao Lie was muttering in his heart, but Li Chi didn't take the initiative to ask for it, and he looked extremely interested.
This reaction made Cao Lie unable to figure out the way.
"Yu Jiuling."
Li Chi suddenly turned around and looked at Yu Jiuling and said, "You said, with my current status, if I also built a garden like Caoyuan, would the people scold me?"
Yu Jiuling said: "That won't be. How could the people scold Your Highness? Your Highness is the lord of the two states, so it is not an exaggeration to build a garden."
Li Chi said: "That's good, I'm just afraid that the people will say that I'm greedy for pleasure and pursue extravagance."
Yu Jiuling said:

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry about this. Even if we build such a garden, we cannot have these things. You are not unaware of how poor we are."
Li Chi: "..."
He pointed to a place in the entrance hall: "For example, such ornaments seem to be born to be placed in the entrance hall, but do we have one? If it is a fake one, it will be laughed at when someone sees it."
Cao Lie's heart twitched for a moment.
Li Chi said: "That's right, the garden can be built, but if the things are fake, they will inevitably be ridiculed. I, like me, hate fraud the most."
This sentence made Yu Jiuling's conscience hurt.
He thought to himself, how much money did you cheat Mr. Songming's words? You don't know what you think?
But he said righteously: "Your Highness is a character, and his ministers respect him. The ministers hate fraud the most, and the persons who hate fraud the most."
Tang Pidian thought to himself, but he didn't know if you dare to say it in front of Taoist Changmei.
Cao Lie breathed heavily and said, "Your Highness, let's stop going around in circles..."
Li Chi said: "Huh? How can the little marquis explain this?"
Cao Lie looked back at the Cao family who was following him and said, "You all go back, I have important matters with Your Highness."
The people from the Cao family then bent over and bowed and retreated.
Li Chi said: "Do you think I want to be greedy for these rare items in your Caoyuan."
Cao Lie said: "How come I think of Your Highness so much."
Li Chi said: "That's right."
Cao Lie said: "I just feel that His Highness wants to scrape away even the land of Cao Yuan."
Li Chi laughed, not feeling embarrassed at all.
Cao Lie said: "I know what Your Highness means... Regarding medicine, military industry, and all business related to military affairs, I have not gone to see Your Highness these two days, but have been sorting it out, and all the accounts, land deeds, and lists will be handed over to Your Highness in a while."
Li Chi asked, "Do you give it directly?"
Cao Lie asked back: "Can you not give it?"
Li Chi said: "You give it directly, which makes me feel embarrassed."
He looked at Yu Jiuling and said, "Why do we build the garden, or let it go first?"
Yu Jiuling said: "Yes, yes, yes, my subordinates also think it's not time to build a garden."
Cao Lie sighed.
Li Chi looked at him like this and couldn't help laughing: "Then, if I were to say, I never thought of asking you for these industries directly?"
Cao Lie said: "Why do you have to play with me like this?"
Li Chi laughed.
He looked at Cao Lie and said, "I have never thought of reaching out to take it over like this. It's because you misunderstood."
Cao Lie looked puzzled: "What does Your Highness mean?"
Li Chi said: "From today, all the Cao family's medicine stores have been converted into military medicines, which are only for Ning Jun's needs. From today on, the armour workshops under the name of the Cao family will build weapons and armor according to the Ning Jun's equipment standards, and can only supply Ning Jun. I will purchase all military supplies at the price and will never be deducted."
Cao Lie's face changed constantly, and after pondering for a while, he realized.
"Then Your Highness will announce to the world, saying that the Cao family fully supports Your Highness."
Li Chi asked: "Isn't this good?"
Cao Lie said: "In this way, the court will definitely hate the Cao family. I wonder how many people will scold the Cao family for being ungrateful."
Li Chi said: "Well, there will definitely be many people scolding you, but I will be very happy."
Cao Lie fell silent again.
After a long time, he looked at Li Chi and said, "If I agree, your highness will save the people and property of the Cao family?"
Li Chi said: "Natural."
Cao Lie nodded: "I agreed."
In fact, even Tang Pidian didn't expect that Li Chi would make such arrangements.
"Thank you, my little marquis."
Li Chi hugged

Fist: "You can go to have a meal now."
He walked a few steps, stopped in front of a jasper ornament, shook his head and sighed, "I really want to take it."
