Chapter 189: The world returns to the heart
When Li Shimin heard these two names, his body was shocked.
In fact, when Li Shimin heard that the couple could earn more than a dozen dollars a day, he felt very pleased.
It's only been three days.
Within three days, the man in front of him was never able to fill his stomach and could barely survive.
This money...although Li Shimin is really tiny.
Even if the couple both go to work, they can save only thirty cents in a day. After one month, at most, they will be consistent. Of course... the only advantage is that they can accommodate two meals of food and accommodation.
But for this couple, they no longer have to worry about food and drink. Even if it is these three pounds... they don't have to go to the street to beg for food anymore. His girl... shouldn't have to beg everywhere by her brother.
In Li Shimin's view, the changes in the Liu family made him even happier and more gratified than the money he earned.
What Li Shimin never expected was that this man from the Liu family actually thanked him and the prince.
He couldn't help but feel ashamed again!
I...what can I thank you?
I have ascended the throne for so many years, and I have not received any benefit from you.
As for the prince...
Li Chengqian was kneeling behind Li Shimin, and was stunned when he heard that Liu Laosan was actually involved with him.
"Why is this?" Li Shimin felt ashamed and said lightly: "I think... this Emperor of the Tang Dynasty... may not be wise, and the prince, at a young age, what kind of favor can he have in the world? Brother Liu... what you said is too much."
Liu Laosan never expected that Li Shimin would say such ruthless words.
He suddenly became unhappy and glared at Li Shimin. It took him a long time to calm down his anger. Then his voice became colder, but he still kept the kindness he should be to his guests.
He said, "My father was Wang Shichong's archer. When he was here, he said that if Wang Shichong became the emperor, we might have been able to get some credit and give some land. The Li Tang is indeed not good for our Li family, so... you say that the current emperor may not be wise. If this was the beginning... I had nothing to say."
What he said...is bold.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Now the world has just ended its chaos. The vast majority of the people actually don’t have much emotion for the Li Tang. Some of the subjects in this world once considered themselves to be the people of the Sui Dynasty. Some followed Li Mi at the beginning, while others were Wang Shichong...
At that time, the world's heroes emerged and Li Tang won the world, but to the people, what kind of favor did you Li Tang give us? The reason why you have lived in the world is just because your soldiers are strong. What kind of soldiers and horses will be stronger than you in the future? Will we still be their people in the end?
At this time, people were determined, but in people's eyes, there was not much ignorance. Everyone was able to endure the rule of Li Tang because they didn't want to make trouble.
So Liu Laosan's words... are nothing wrong.
Even Li Shimin himself thought this was reasonable. He was not a confused person or a stubborn person. He did not expect the Supreme Emperor to rule for several years. After he killed his brothers and ascended the throne, his subjects were willing to be completely loyal to him.
Liu Laosan continued: "But now you say this, I have something to say. Who has lived a good life in the past few years? A few days ago, prices have soared and they really can't survive. The officials deceived their superiors and concealed their subordinates and exploited them wantonly. But I heard that prices have soared, and His Majesty and the Prince pity us ordinary people, so they set up an exchange in Erpigou to attract the aristocratic tribes and merchants from all over the world to invest there."
"If there were no such things, how could there be so many workshops, recruiting manpower like crazy? I heard that the prince has made great efforts in this exchange. The prince's father is the emperor. Isn't this the emperor's instructed? I was at the dock, and my boss was thinking about what tickets to buy on the exchange. He also told us... We have good luck. If it weren't for His Royal Highness... What kind of exchange does Chen County Duke have created? We are afraid we will still be hungry and frozen..."
"You have to be conscience in life." Liu Laosan angrily scolded Li Shimin: "These things are too complicated, and I don't actually understand them either. I only know that if you can live a good life in the future, the emperor and the prince are the great benefactors of our Liu family. The benefactor may not know what happened outside. Go out and ask, which of the people on the canal is not grateful?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but look at Chen Zhengtai in surprise.
Could it be... the impact of this exchange is so terrifying?
Not only did the prices be solved, but even the people's hearts have been collected?
This is why Zhengtai brought the prince into the gang.
For the people, when they saw the prince and the county duke Chen Zhengtai jointly run the exchange, their first thought was that this must be dominated by the prince. After all, in people's simplest feelings, whoever is the one who is the master is the one who makes the decision.
The people will not think deeply about other things. They only know that since the prince is in charge, the person who makes suggestions behind the scenes must be the emperor. After all, the prince is the emperor's son, and he is still a relative.
Liu Laosan looked at Li Shimin and urged him, "I'll ask you, is this emperor a wise man? Does this prince love the people as much as his son?"
Li Shimin: “…”
At this time, Li Shimin sighed in his heart, Chen Zhengtai, Chen Zhengtai... Why do this guy have so many ghost ideas? This guy is not only extraordinary ingenuity, but most importantly, he has not taken credit yet. He wants to fulfill the prince, but also to fulfill me.
Look at the other young men in the world. Whoever has some cleverness is complacent and wants everyone in the world to know?
But what about Chen Zhengtai?
Chen Zhengtai is worthy of being my disciple...but...he felt wronged.
Li Chengqian was also very happy and said happily: "Yes, yes, it's so wise, especially the prince, it's also very wise... Hello, senior brother, what are you doing? What am I wrong?"
Chen Zhengtai: "…"
Prince, is it really okay if you are so unfair?
After hearing this, Fang Xuanling and others looked at Chen Zhengtai enviously. This kid had a way out.
Especially Fang Xuanling himself, when he saw Chen Zhengtai at this time, he felt extremely pleasant and couldn't help but feel moved. Why don't he find a way to transfer this person to the Secretariat?
Changsun Wuji felt regretful again, and thought to himself that among my relatives, there was a niece, who was Princess Changle. Chen Zhengtai seemed unwilling to marry a widow. His Majesty would definitely trust him more in the future. Such talents are like BMWs, and their future is unlimited.
It’s just a pity... This niece Li Lizhi is going to marry my son. This is called kissing. If I think about it again, how many people are there in the family...
Li Shimin was already excited when he heard this, and looked at Liu Laosan steadily, but avoided Liu Laosan's question and said, "What do people here think in this way?"
"Of course, that's how I think." Liu Laosan said solemnly: "Everyone is all people with conscience. How can I not know the truth about repaying kindness? If I have such a conscience, will this still be a human being? How can I look up in the neighborhood in the future?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Liu Laosan continued to sigh: "I am just a grass man, of course I am not qualified to meet the emperor, but if I am lucky to see him one day, I will definitely buy ten chickens to thank him. Benefactor, I will see you extraordinary and have a lot of knowledge. Do you think the emperor loves chickens?"
"This..." Li Shimin was speechless for a while. After a long time, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "I think... he will like to eat."
"Haha..." Liu Laosan said boldly: "I'm just a fool, joking..."
As he was talking, the woman had already warmed up the wine and cooked a plate of chicken. She reheated the steamed cakes sent by Li Shimin and brought them in, which made this small thatched cottage full of the tempting aroma of the meal.
The woman glared at the man: "You only know what the emperor, the prince, you are a idle man, what the relationship between the people in the heaven and the affairs in the heaven, and what the relationship between the three jin in the world is naughty, and you never see you teach him a lesson. Now that the benefactors are here, you are talking nonsense here, come, wine and dishes are here, you can continue."
When it comes to eating chicken, Liu Laosan's eyes shine.
The three kilograms of saliva on the side were about to flow out again. They excitedly brought the wine and chicken and obediently divided the steamed cakes.
Then, the steamed cake was distributed to everyone.
The woman turned around and heated up some other food.
Seeing the woman leaving, Liu Laosan seemed a little embarrassed and said, "What my wife said makes sense. They are all people from heaven. After all, they are too far away from us. Benefactor... This chicken... is the way to cook beggar chicken. It's all eaten like this now. Benefactor is a person who has seen the world. He must have eaten it. Come and taste it first, come and fill it with some wine."
He poured the wine and delivered it to Li Shimin.
Zhang Qian was ready to move and wanted to try it out first if it was poisonous.
But Li Shimin was also very generous. He did not give Zhang Qian a chance to try it. He drank the wine in one sip and breathed in his mouth: "This wine is too light."
He immediately realized that he was a guest and said, "It's not that he was not a bad greeting, but I once ate a kind of wine called "smashing a donkey, so that the wine tastes good."
After hearing this, Liu Laosan seemed to feel that he and Li Shimin had found a common language all at once, and said frowningly: "I have also heard of this wine. It is said that it will be launched, but I don't know the value. I will try it in the future. I have the strength to work hard and can increase my wages in the future."
When he said this, his face was flushed, and what he saw in his eyes was hope.
