That night, Li Mingda got Lao Li's permission to leave the palace. For safety reasons, Li Mingda had to bring his own ceremonial guard. The destination was to go to Lao Cheng's house to deliver a letter to Cheng Yaojin.

Delivering a letter?

Looking at Li Shimin handing him the sealed letter, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

We had agreed to go out to find some work for the Japanese envoy to Tang Dynasty, but now it turned into delivering a letter.

Think carefully about Lao Li’s advice

No word on when it will be delivered

He didn't say when he would come back.

I didn’t say which way to take it in the middle.

Hahaha

I understand, Lao Li is indeed a super old fox, huh.

He threw the ceremonial guard and other things to Li Guang when he went out and asked him to take care of it, and then sent a letter to Li Chen telling him that he would stop by to take a look at his teahouse every day. When the industry opened in Chang'an City, there were always people trying to get some benefits.

, go to the town market, find a blind chicken, and kill it for the monkeys to see.

look forward to

Excited Li Mingda even lost his mood to bully Li Zhi every day and let him go.

Get up early the next morning

Washing completed

Find a wet nurse, suck hard, eat until full, and then put on your royal gift +12 princess equipment and go out.

Li Mingda went out openly and openly with loud gongs and drums. Changsun was still worried. The forces in Chang'an City were complicated, and there were also Li Jiancheng's remnants and some other resistance forces who were planning revenge. He ordered Yu Qian beside him to send people to follow him.

Prevent unexpected events.

First stop when going out

First, go to my own teahouse in Dongshi

As the main place where you can make money every day in your own industry, it is the first place to inspect.

The procession arrived downstairs, and the shopkeeper in charge came out with the boys to kneel down. Li Chen was also waiting in the teahouse.

Li Mingdajin left a team of guards to guard the teahouse. The huge team outside asked them to rest on the side of the road in a nearby alley so as not to disturb the daily business of the teahouse.

The tea house shop is a three-story building along the street. The first floor is where tea is bought and sold, the second floor is where tea is served to entertain some distinguished guests, and the third floor is specially prepared for Li Mingda in case the owner comes to rest and inspect.

Knowing that Li Mingda was coming, the second floor was not open, leaving the guards and maids waiting downstairs.

Li Mingda sat down and watched the people who were still watching the excitement gradually return to normal walking and earning a living. He was quite satisfied with the arrangement he had just made.

Li Chen saluted at the side: "Your Highness, the account book you requested is ready."

Li Chen asked the manager to bring up the account book. Li Mingda threw it to Qingfeng. Mingyue said: "Check it and see how much is missing."

The steward's head was covered with cold sweat, and he knelt on the ground and wailed: "Your Highness, why don't you dare to be greedy?"

Nonsense, so many people didn't come back from the last check, and it's only been a few days. How dare you take our money and commit suicide?

"Okay, I'm not looking for someone who is greedy for money. Who does this princess owe money to? I dare to die even if I owe this princess even a small amount of money."

"Princess, when doing business in Chang'an City, there will always be some people who need to be delivered and paid on credit."

Li Mingda pointed to the place where the plaque was hanging outside and taught Li Chen: "I took a picture of you and begged my father to give me the plaque. I didn't want you to be cowardly. You know, you should do it when you should do it."

"Yes, what the princess taught me is that I understand."

"Also, my concubine is Shaoqu. If you look back, you will die suddenly early."

"The minister's family is urging me to carry on the family lineage, but there is nothing they can do."

"Shut up, you are worse than your brother. Look at how smart he is, hiding in the palace and not going home."

Li Chen wailed: "Princess, it's because he avoided going home that I ended up in this situation."

hey-hey

Li Guang, who was standing nearby, smiled at his brother.

Li Chen reached out and slapped him on the head: "You bastard, I told you that if you don't go home, I will die."

"You're not allowed to cause trouble while on duty, you know?"

Li Chen waited for his brother Li Guang to look at him. This grandson had learned to put on a show for himself, but although Li Chen was walking around outside, he was actually the highest military commander of Li Mingda.

If you are a young man fighting with your brother, I will look good on you later.

The two brothers winked at each other for a moment, Qingfeng and Mingyue handed over the accounts they had recorded to Li Mingda.

"Master, please take a look."

Li Mingda took it and saw that there were so many outstanding debts.

The first Han king Li Yuanchang's family

The second place is Chen Guogong Hou Junjijia

The third place is Qiao Guo Gong Chai Ling Wu Family

The rest are a bunch of nobles, big and small

"So many souls are weak, thinking that my princess' tea leaves were blown by the strong wind. Li Chen went to find someone to ask for the account. If he doesn't pay, I will throw dead mice at their door. If he doesn't pay, he will pour dung at the door."

Li Chen burst into tears. Princess, where did you learn this move? This is not something that a princess should know. If Lao Li knew about it, he would have to be beaten to death.

"Princess, this kind of move is not suitable. After all, they are all palaces of princes. If they are traced, it will be difficult to deal with them and it will damage your reputation."

"I don't care, princess. You want fame and you can't eat it for a living. Also, the amount of your bonus at the end of the year is linked to the debt you owe. If you owe more, it will be deducted. If you owe more, 20% of the debt will be rewarded to you and the teahouse workers."

Li Chen and the steward were both jealous at the moment. Let’s not talk about the dozens of times the profit of the tea (the cost of 1 tael of silver can be sold for dozens of taels). Take the money owed as an example, the total amount of money inside and outside is only one tael.

It's ten thousand taels of silver. Twenty percent is worth thousands of taels.

Even if you divide it among the workers, you can still get a hundred taels without any problem.

jealous

Heartbeat thumping

Li Chen swallowed his saliva and said, "Well, I just want to find someone to handle this matter for the princess."

"Well, don't worry. It's useless if you go like this. You have to find a chicken to kill for the monkey first. Oh, by the way." Li Mingda told Li Chen: "Go and send someone to Cheng Mansion to tell my master that I will be at his house tonight."

Have a meal"

"yes"

Li Chen went down to make arrangements, and Li Mingda was waiting upstairs. In order to prevent the chicken from taking the bait, he also ordered all the guards outside to rest in the alley behind the tea house, and did not come out without orders.

Maybe Li Mingda made too much noise in the morning. No one came to make trouble all morning. It was really boring.

Keep waiting and waiting

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, a middle-aged butler dressed like a dog walked toward the teahouse from west to east with a few followers.

The steward who was waiting at the door looked at the visitor and immediately smiled: "The chickens that the princess has been looking for are here. Wang Xiaoer, please stabilize them here first. If this is done well, you will get double the monthly payment."

"Shopkeeper, please take a look, I promise to hold you back."

Leaving his little boy Wang Xiaoer at the door, the steward hurriedly went upstairs.

The guard on the second floor brought him up. The steward reported the situation upstairs to Li Guang in a low voice. Li Guang came to Li Mingda, who was wandering in space in the room, and whispered: "Princess, the chicken you were looking for is here."

Li Mingda turned around and bared his teeth and smiled like a little fox: "Little Guangzi, let's go and take a look at this chicken."
