"Mr. Chen, not only do you have to pay tribute, but you also have to enter the palace and help cook. Did you hear that?" Li Zhili asked for it for granted.

Chen An also remembered this. Yes, the people of the Tang Dynasty had never eaten water chestnuts, and they didn't even know how to eat it. Without his operation, they probably wouldn't know how to deal with it even if they washed the water chestnuts and put them in front of them.

"Okay, I will do my best." There is no reason why Fox Zhi refused to agree to the request.

Li Zhi pestered his father and kept imagining how to eat water chestnuts. Li Shimin said that he had never seen such wild vegetables in the past when he was among the people.

Judging from this, it should be able to grow big.

If it is really edible, the taste is pretty good, and the people in Chang'an City will have more ingredients to survive the wasteland.

As the king of a country, Li Shimin thought of these first things.

The father and son stood next to the wild rice plant, talking enthusiastically, Chen An was embarrassed, why, do you need to check this?

I'm almost taking off all of it, and you haven't come to see you yet. If he had known that they would be attracted by the water chestnuts, he wouldn't have volunteered.

"Your Majesty, we still need to check the warehouse." Just when Shen An was anxious, Old Master Xiao appeared at the right time and finally brought everything back to normal.

Chen An never expected that he would also express his sincere gratitude to Mr. Xiao.

Sure enough, the ginger is still so spicy. Look, people have never forgotten their goals.

After he reminded him, Li Shimin then remembered the serious business. Chen An had already opened the warehouse. Li Shimin entered first, and the rest of the people also entered one after another.

The warehouses in Shen’s house are dazzling and not messy. Obviously, Chen An, as the owner, must be cleaned up from time to time.

There was no moldy smell common in the warehouse in the room, and the smell was very fresh. As soon as I entered the room, I came to me with a huge black bird screen. It looked exquisitely crafted and expensive. Li Shimin walked around the screen and thought to himself that this should be the new one that Chen An bought after he was in charge of the family.

According to Li Shimin's memory, he is calm, simple and down-to-earth, and is definitely not a person with artistic taste, and he does not pay attention to these things.

Such a gorgeous screen, you won’t buy such things at all.

He turned behind the screen and saw a small dormitory.

There was a jar of incense and candles on it, and a small sandalwood box. I don’t know what it contained.

Seeing that he was curious, Chen An stepped forward with a smile and explained: "Your Majesty, this is the jade plaque given by Your Majesty. I have always been reluctant to take it out and bring it to me, and they are all placed in the warehouse for worship."

"Please see."

The sandalwood small box was sealed with an ordinary three-spring lock. Chen An explained that the warehouse was relatively tightly guarded, so this important thing was placed here.

With a light tweak, the box was opened. Li Shimin was very satisfied when he saw the jade plaque being placed in the box, and there was a fine and soft cloth piece under it.

This kid is meant to be interested.

Next, it’s the highlight of this visit.

Chen An felt that if he delayed it any longer, Mr. Xiao's hands would almost turn into fly legs, rubbing them over and over again.

He came to the other side of the room, uncovered the green cloth covered with it, and five boxes were revealed in front of him.

Looking at these boxes, they are only three feet square, just ordinary sizes. Shimin thought that even if they are filled, they will not exceed ten cents of coins.

After all this, is it just to make these money?

Chen An opened the wooden box, Li Shimin glanced at it, waved his hand, not interested at all.

Just to check out this mere ten-point currency, he still pulled so many people out of the imperial city with soaring numbers, which was really not cost-effective.

Chen An did not obey, and still opened the box lid and said to Xiao Yu: "Duke Song, please take a look, see clearly."

"Although I'm making a lot of noise, I'm just trying to benefit the people of Chang'an City and teach them more knowledge."

"But to be honest, even though I'm so busy, I didn't make much money."

"Although I have not entered the official career, I understand the reason why officials are not allowed to do business. However, I am definitely not doing business, but imparting knowledge."

"I made the money paid by the apprentices after deducting the materials fees."

"But I think that the court has no law that prohibits officials from making money."

"Whether it is a farm or the orchards and vegetable gardens attached to it are sources of income. Chen'an, a mere little official, has no fief at all. It should be okay for Weichen to make some money with his own skills."

Chen An was thinking about this set of lines since they walked into the backyard.

It is necessary to suppress Xiao Yu's arrogance, but it cannot arouse Li Shimin's disgust. It is neither humble nor arrogant, and shows its demeanor.

He thought that this passage was both logical argument and example argument, and the key was that it was so pitiful that it should be considered very comprehensive.

Everything depends on Li Shimin's decision.

Chen An lowered his head slightly, and after saying these words, he occasionally glanced at Khan's expression. Fortunately, it was just serious, but not angry.

"Chen An, you are so cunning!"

"Is this the place where you say what you are?"

Chen An was shocked. Mr. Xiao was indeed old. This is his family, he is the master. Of course, whatever he said is what he wanted. This is still a question.

"You are using the name of teaching to accumulate money, and you think I can't see it!"

"Duke Song, I don't like to listen to what you said."

"I never hide it. By imparting knowledge, I have indeed made some money. But there are only a few boxes in total, and you have seen them."

"Just a few boxes of copper coins, can this be considered accumulating?"

"Besides, the rock candy I taught was also given to my students. Duke Song could go to the street to ask. The price of this rock candy is really expensive. I have never deceived the students, and they all returned home with satisfaction."

"Besides, my teaching was entirely due to the boss' request, not my initiative." His words were whispered and sincere expressions, and Xiao Yu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

He didn't believe it. Chen An made such a big effort and made such a little money. Human nature is common, and he can't afford to get up early. Maybe he has hidden somewhere.

As long as he knew, he had made ten coins of money from Xiao Xian.

Why is that only a little left?

snort!

There are three holes in the cunning rabbit, that's for sure.

But he couldn't tell the truth. If Li Shimin knew that he ran to him in anger because his naughty grandson was deceived, he would definitely regard this matter as a personal grudge.

I will not conduct an investigation at all, and I don’t even think about the punishment.

"Young people don't quibble, you must have hid all your money elsewhere!"

Li Shimin's playful eyes floated around him all the time. Xiao Yu knew that he was at a disadvantage, but he refused to give in easily.

With a little thought, he grabbed the loophole and bit Chen An tightly.

Chen An shrugged, very regretful.
