Chapter 225: Good Minister Liu Yi

"Emperor, Your Highness the Crown Prince asked for a visit outside the hall, saying that there was something important to report to the emperor to know." In the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin was reviewing the memorials. Li Ran bowed and walked out of the hall and reported to Li Shimin softly.

"Well, let him come in." Li Shimin kept his pen writing, staring at the memorial, and casually ordered Li Ran.

"Yes, the emperor." Li Ran looked up at Li Shimin, then stepped back lightly and served Li Shimin for so many years. He knew that when Li Shimin was reviewing memorials, he was most afraid of anyone coming to disturb him.

After a while, Li Chengqian, dressed in light yellow clothes, entered the hall with a neat document. When he approached Li Shimin, he bowed to Li Shimin and bowed to him: "My son has seen his father!"

"Well," Li Shimin raised his head and looked at him. His eyes soon fell onto the documents in Li Chengqian's hand, and then asked, "What's the matter when I come to find me so late? The prince said it straight, yes, let's sit down and talk."

Li Shimin is still very concerned about this eldest son, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, especially in recent months, Li Chengqian has become more and more in line with his wishes when doing things.

"Thank you, Father!" Li Chengqian put the documents lightly on the small table beside the seat, bowed to Li Shimin and said, "My son is here to disturb me this time, just for the 'Liu Fat House'."

"'Liu Family Fat House'?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows lightly, put down the brush in his hand, looked at Li Chengqian and asked him: "What, is there something wrong with this 'Liu Family Fat House'?"

"Return to my father, everything is fine in the 'Liu Family Fat House' and has begun to make a profit. The monthly profit is basically fifteen to thirty cents per yard." Li Chengqian lowered his head slightly and replied to Li Shimin softly.

"Only thirty stakes? That's so little?" As the monarch of the Tang Empire, Li Shimin certainly wouldn't take these small money seriously.

"The father said it very well. Thirty is indeed not much. When I first heard about it, I didn't care. But when I learned about it, I was really surprised." Li Chengqian looked up at Li Shimin and said, "Did my father know how many 'Liu Family Fat Houses' are there in my Tang Dynasty now? One hundred and twenty. These are just some larger counties, and there are many smaller counties that have not been deployed. If it continues to develop in the future, the number of 'Liu Family Fat Houses' will be more, at least three to four times that of now."

Seeing that Li Shimin's expression changed a little, Li Chengqian continued: "In this way, based on twenty coins, the profit of the "Liu Family Feifang" per month is at least 2,000 coins, and three times, it is 6,000 to 8,000 coins. If so much in a month, it will be nearly 100,000 coins a year. This is not a decimal, father."

"100,000 yuan?" Li Shimin couldn't help but take a breath. It wasn't because of the money, but because of the useless night fragrance, would the annual income be as huge as 100,000 yuan?

No wonder, no wonder that boy Liu Yi dared to take the big fuss and insisted on signing a contract with him. This boy is really visionary.

Although Li Shimin was a wise ruler, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart. One hundred thousand coins may not be much compared to a Tang Empire, but it is also a huge number compared to an ordinary county. To be honest, Li Shimin was a little jealous.

"Where did the prince know about these things?" Li Shimin looked up at Li Chengqian. Although he had never discussed it, he also knew that these numbers should be the commercial secrets of the "Liu Family Fat House". How could Li Chengqian, an outsider, know so clearly?

"Return to my father, these are all told by Mr. Liu Yiu personally." Li Chengqian picked up the documents on the table again and reported to Li Shimin: "These are some documents about the 'Liu Fat House' that Mr. Liu gave to his son this morning. Please check it out."

"Oh? Liu Yi, are you back?" Li Shimin waved his hand and signaled the waiter beside him to hand over the things and asked Li Chengqian.

"The day and night before, Mr. Liu had already rushed back from Jiangnan." Li Chengqian lowered his head and said, "There are 121 documents in total, of which 120 are the land deeds of the "Liu Family Fat House" in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is the contract signed by Mr. Liu and your father."

"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian in surprise, picked up a document, and when he saw it, it was the contract written by Liu Yi himself last time.

What does this kid want to do? He was so anxious to want this contract, but now he got it so easily?

"Mr. Liu said that the scale of 'Liu' is expanding, and he, a small businessman, has no power to continue to operate. He hereby presented all 'Liu' to the court and handed over to the court for the hosting."

Although he knew that Liu Yi's words were all nonsense, Li Chengqian still told Li Shimin everything according to his original words.

At the same time, in his heart, Li Chengqian was also very grateful to Liu Yi for giving him this opportunity, allowing him to report this happy event to his father, giving him a certain opportunity to obtain the management power of the "Liu Family Fat House".

"What is Liu Yi who wants to do?" Li Shimin would certainly not be unhappy to receive the 'Liu Family Fat Fang'. After all, this is also a considerable income. However, Liu Yi's approach made him very puzzled.

What is Liu Yi doing this for? What does he want to get?

It is a joke that he is filial and devoted to his country. Li Shimin was naturally 120 people who did not believe it. A greedy person who dared to bargain with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would be willing to give up such attractive wealth?

"Qian'er," Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian, pushed the documents on the table forward, and said, "If you accept the errand of 'Liu', you can leave it to you. Well, let's check it out again. Liu Yi's difficulties have encountered recently. If it is convenient, you can solve it for him."

After all, Li Shimin was an emperor who had been in the political circle for decades. He soon thought of a possibility that Liu Yi was in trouble.

"Yes, Father! My son will do my best to do the job and will never disappoint my father!" As expected, Li Chengqian showed a slight smile on his face, and he stood up and responded respectfully, taking on the job.

At this time, at General Gongsun’s Mansion, Gongsun Wuda and Liu Yiu were sitting opposite each other, drinking and chatting.

Gongsun Wuda took a fennel bean, threw it in his mouth, chewed it in a soft voice, looked at Liu Yi, and said, "Is this the nephew here to present the 'Liu Fat House' to the emperor?"

"Uncle Gongsun's clarification is indeed the case." Liu Yiuan did not be polite to Gongsun Wuda, and picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and replied softly to Gongsun Wuda.

"My dear nephew wants to use this 'Liu Fat House' to exchange for one of Wu Zuijian's right leg?" Gongsun Wuda then said another sentence.

Liu Yiuan could hand over a profitable business such as "Liu's Fat Fang" for no reason. Gongsun Wuda naturally thought of the reason, Lao Liu's right leg.

"Uncle Gongsun was joking. Wu Zuijian was the adopted son of General Hou and the future son-in-law chosen by the emperor. How dare I change his legs?" Liu Yi chuckled as if nothing had happened, then poured himself a cup, then tilted his neck and poured it down.

Seeing Liu Yi say this, Gongsun Wuda shook his head and chuckled without saying anything.

Liu You are not a person who is afraid of trouble. From the beginning, Gongsun Wuda could see that Wu Zuijian's identities sounded loud enough, but would Liu You really take this to heart?

Seeing Liu Yi's expression on his face, Gongsun Wuda already knew in his heart that Wu Zuijian was afraid he would be in trouble.

"Hou Junji is a madman." Gongsun Wuda took the wine handed over by Liu Yi and said to Liu Yi: "And it is also a famous protection for his shortcomings. In addition, his daughter is the Crown Princess. I heard that the Crown Princess and her loyal brother grew up together, and their relationship is very good."

Gongsun Wuda said one sentence after another, as a reminder to Liu Yi. If Wu Zuijian was so easy to deal with, there wouldn't be so many people towards him.

"Uncle Gongsun is intent." Liu Yiuan poured a cup for Gongsun Wu, and said with a chuckling: "The person I am looking for is just a safe house. How dare you provoke such a powerful person again?"

Although Gongsun Wuda was close to him, some words could not be clearly stated.

"I know this. My nephew has always been a scheming person. I can't do such things that cannot be judged." Gongsun Wuda picked up the wine glass and touched Liu Yi, but he thought in his heart that Liu Yi was also a scheming person.

Wu Zuijian offended him, but he could only blame himself, and he caused a huge trouble for himself without any chance.

"Haha, the one who knows me is Uncle Gongsun! Come on, I'm going to wish you a glass for what Uncle Gongsun said just now!" Liu Yi stood up, raised his glass to meet Gongsun Wuda, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, raised their necks together, poured the wine in the glass into their stomachs.
