"As a child, who hasn't personally disliked dogs?"
Li Yunze, who was full of gloating about his misfortune, advised him kindly from the side, "It's almost done, just don't beat him to death."
As a father, when he gets angry when educating his children, he usually only chooses one education method.
After Li Er cut off the vines, he called for people to carry Li Chengqian into the yard.
As for the children of the Xungui family, of course Li Er would not teach them a lesson personally, but just ordered people to drive them into the courtyard. After all, the weather was too cold.
Entering the room, Li Er saw that only Zuo Hong, a clumsy idiot, was taking care of the prince, and immediately frowned, "Where are the beauties I gave you before?"
"They were given a dowry and allowed to choose their own husbands to get married."
Li Yunze walked to the drawer and took out the medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. "Don't think of me as a lustful ghost, I am an upright and honorable man."
Li Er had received a report on this matter a long time ago, but in front of Li Yunze, he had to act as if he had just learned about it.
Nothing but acting skills.
After all, the vines are not thorns, and Li Chengqian was wearing very thick clothes in winter and even had a leather jacket. At most, he could only draw out blood and there would be no scenes of skin and flesh being torn apart.
Li Er, who skipped the topic, said to Li Yunze seriously, "I want you to take control of the entire Lantian County. If you are willing to take control of the entire Guanzhong County, that would be even better."
After seeing Li Yunze's ability and seeing the radical changes in Lijiazhuang, Li Er couldn't wait to use this power.
Li Chengqian, who was lying on the bed, trembled involuntarily when he heard this.
Although he is young, Li Chengqian, who has received strict education since childhood, can naturally understand the importance of his father's words.
The talents my father values are looking for trouble on their own~~~
How could I be so stupid? I was fooled by those idiots and skipped class to come here. I was really unjustly beaten!
Except for Zuo Hong, no one pays attention to Li Chengqian.
Facing Li Er's trusting gaze, Li Yunze waved his hand very simply, "Not interested."
Li Er had a look of disappointment on his face, sighed softly, turned around and looked at Li Chengqian, and then his eyes fell on the table that had been prepared.
On the table is the hot pot that has begun to stir.
Delicious beef and lush green vegetables fill the table.
There’s not much to say. At this time, of course we eat first, drink first, and then talk about anything else.
Li Yunze and Li Er sat at the table and feasted. Li Chengqian, who had taken the good medicine, lay on the bed and sniffed the fragrant smell, looking at his father eagerly.
It was a pity that Li Er had no intention of giving his son a share of the pie, and kept eating and drinking on his own, raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead from time to time.
After drinking and eating, looking at the mess on the table in front of him, the emperor said, "I really wish that the people in Chang'an City could have such a delicious meal in the winter when food is scarce."
Even the experienced Li Yunze found it difficult to answer these words.
He could feel that Li Er was telling the truth, but the problem was that it was really unflattering to say such truth when he was eating and drinking enough and picking the meat between his teeth with a toothpick.
"I have as much meat, vegetables and fruits as I want here." Li Yunze responded slowly, "The price is guaranteed to be fair. If the quantity is large, we can offer a discount on the basis of the market price. Your Majesty only needs to pay for it, so that the people of Chang'an City can enjoy it."
Eat these things."
Before Li Er could speak, Li Chengqian, who was lying over there, already laughed out loud.
After all, he was still a child. Before he broke his leg, he didn’t know the dangers of the world and didn’t learn to control his emotions.
Li Er's face immediately turned dark.
Fortunately, Li Yunze said in time, "Why is the prince laughing?"
"You are really good at bragging." Li Chengqian, who was entering the stage of changing his voice, spoke with a voice like a duck. "Do you know how many people there are in Chang'an City? Not to mention providing them with food for a long time, even if you treat everyone to a meal
Massive supplies. I am the Tang Dynasty
Of course you can get it, but you? Humph."
Li Chengqian knew that Chang'an City had a population of millions, and even just one meal was calculated in millions.
Just this little shabby villager, okay, this villager looks good, but even if they were pawned, they couldn't afford such a sum of money.
At this time, Li Er should have stepped forward to scold Li Chengqian for being ignorant and talking nonsense, and then Li Yunze would have taken advantage of the situation and walked down the steps.
But Li Yunze glanced at Li Er and saw him picking his teeth as if he hadn't heard anything. He instantly understood what he meant. He wanted to put pressure on himself and see his unfathomable strength.
"Since the prince has said so, wouldn't it be looked down upon if I didn't treat all the people in Chang'an City to a hot pot meal?"
Li Yunze showed his strength generously, "I want to buy a piece of land in each of the 108 squares in Chang'an."
"Oh?" Li Er asked with a half-smile, "What are you buying land for?"
"Used to open a hot pot restaurant." Li Yunze responded, "Please give the people of Chang'an City a free winter hot pot meal."
Li Er clearly knows the cost of eating hot pot.
Needless to say, meat is never cheap.
Those fruits and vegetables are not that expensive in the corresponding season, but they are very expensive in winter. They are not even available except for the royal warm soup. They may be stored in some cellars.
The really expensive ones are those inconspicuous condiments.
Like all kinds of spices, a spoonful of them starts with just a few pennies.
The snow-white refined salt is only comparable to the expensive green salt.
The most expensive thing is the spicy pepper, which is a miraculous crop that has never been seen before.
Adding up so many things is already a big expense. If millions of people in Chang'an City are invited to eat them, anyway, if it were Li Er who did it, all the rats in the treasury would have to move in tears.
.
Of course, Li Er himself would not do such a thing. He would rather use the money to strengthen military equipment.
Moreover, the ministers in the DPRK would not allow him to do this. He could even imagine how Wei Zheng would scold him for his extravagance.
"Can."
Li Er, who quickly turned his thoughts around, nodded immediately and agreed, "I agree. I allow you to buy land and build a hot pot restaurant in the 108th square. However."
Knowing that it was no more than enough, Li Yunze smiled slightly, "No more than what?"
"In a few days, spring plowing will begin." Li Er pointed out the window, "You donate a thousand cows to the court for spring plowing."
Li Yunze smiled heartily, "It's a small amount of money."
Over there, Li Chengqian heard this and secretly smacked his tongue.
A healthy cow needs to start riding a horse with five guan coins. You can't just use bad money, you have to use tongbao.
Even if it is a healthy cow, it still costs four thousand dollars.
For a thousand cows, that would cost thousands of dollars.
If you have millions of dollars, you are a world-famous rich man. If you have thousands of dollars in one go, that is really inhumane.
On the way back to Chang'an City, Li Er in the carriage looked at Li Chengqian who was lying down and said, "When you go back, you can go to the Taifu to receive your punishment."
Li Chengqian, who felt guilty, lowered his head and said, "Wei."
The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit depressing, but fortunately Li Er followed up by saying, "You did a good job today. I asked that boy to get a thousand cows, and even invited everyone in Chang'an City to dinner."
Li Chengqian looked up in surprise, why was his father so happy?
Li Er smiled and said nothing, at least now is not the time to explain this to half-grown children.
If Li Yunze knew this, he would definitely laugh out loud.
One thousand cattle may seem like a lot, but it cannot be compared with the price of 108 pieces of land in Chang'an City.
Think about it, if in the modern world, the price of ten cows can be exchanged for a piece of land in the capital that can be used to build a hotel, then you really have to pawn your pants to buy it.
Li Yunze's actions were very fast, and the labor force in Zhuangzi who had nothing to do in the winter was quickly gathered and headed straight for Chang'an City.
The kiln that has been firing bricks sends countless bricks, tiles and other construction materials to the city on carts.
He also paid to hire construction workers in the city, purchased wood and other materials from various merchants, and piled everything he needed onto the purchased land.
Li Yunze did not rush to start work, but gathered people together for a surprise study.
There isn't much to learn, it's mainly about reading drawings of pulley blocks and using new measuring tools, etc.
Fang Xuanling stepped forward to coordinate the purchase of land, and many nobles gathered around curiously, while Li Er observed silently in secret, not missing the slightest detail.
He was a little surprised to learn that 108 houses were built together.
After all, when building a house in this era, a group of people built it bit by bit from the bottom up. But Li Yunze would be surprised to see so many buildings started at the same time.
"Those machine beasts have been driven into the city."
People from Baiqisi reported that "there was a lot of movement and the people were frightened. Moreover, a machine beast could complete the excavation of foundations in several places in one day, and the pits dug were large and deep."
"Um."
Li Er was noncommittal, "What else?"
"There is a problem with the large truck transporting sand, stone and bricks from outside the city."
Hearing this, Li Er's eyes flashed and said, "Say."
"The cart was fully loaded, probably weighing several thousand kilograms." Baiqisi responded hurriedly, "But a horse can drag it, and the cart was not crushed, so it was easily pulled.
Came to the city."
"Um?"
Li Er was greatly surprised by what he said and immediately set out to see for himself.
Knowing that Li Yunze was in Pingkangfang at this time, when Li Er came over, he actually saw Changsun Wuji also here.
"His Majesty."
Changsun Wuji hurriedly saluted, and Li Er, who got off his horse, asked him bluntly, "What are you doing here?"
"I signed a supply agreement with Mr. Li to provide him with wood."
This made Li Er even more confused, "Isn't your family selling iron? When did you switch to selling wood?"
Changsun Wuji did not dare to hide anything in front of Li Er. He directly stated that competition was fierce due to the large amount of wood used, and some merchants selling wood took the initiative to find him to compete for business.
Li Er glanced at him and walked straight to Li Yunze without saying anything.
Li Yunze, who was looking at the drawings, glanced at him and continued to instruct the craftsmen around him, "As I said before, I have only one request. Construction must be carried out strictly in accordance with the drawings. No more, no less."
Seeing everyone's disapproval, Li Yunze simply stated, "I know you usually rely on experience when building a house, but that doesn't work here. If you don't follow my requirements, you won't get paid."
The prices he offered were high enough, and not only the vendors who supplied the goods flocked to them, but the workers were also reluctant to make a living, and could only repeatedly guarantee that there would be no mistakes.
While he was talking, a group of cargo carriages slowly drove over.
Li Er raised his eyes and looked over. When he saw the huge thing pulling the carriage, his color changed instantly.
"This, this, this, this is a horse?!"
