Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

Chapter 24

Li Shimin looked at the crowd and didn't answer directly, but smiled and asked:

"What do you think, my dear ministers, is the price of this Imperial Liquor?"

Cheng Yaojin licked his lips and laughed, saying loudly:

"Your Majesty, after I drank this Imperial Liquor, I remembered that the wine I drank before was like drinking horse urine. I think this wine is worth 10 strings of cash."

Although Cheng Yaojin was not well-educated, he didn't speak well.

But everyone nodded, indicating that they agreed with him.

Even Li Shimin didn't scold him, and nodded.

Everyone was thinking: Yes, the wine I drank before was like horse urine, bland and tasteless.

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and nodded.

"Although what Mr. Cheng said is unpleasant, it is also appropriate. The wine I drank before was indeed bland and turbid. I think this wine is worth 15 strings of cash."

At this time, Wei Zheng asked: "Your Majesty, where did this wine come from? Who brewed it?"

They already had a rough guess in their hearts. This might be made by the same person as the fine salt.

Li Shimin looked at them and smiled:

"Your guess is right. This imperial wine and the fine salt are made by the same person, and so are the furniture from yesterday."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, no one was shocked.

Everyone knew that these things that had never been seen appeared at the same time, so they must have been made by the same person.

Li Shimin saw that no one was shocked, and he didn't think it was strange.

But he said the next sentence, and everyone was shocked.

Li Shimin said slowly:

"His name is Su Chen, and he is a 16-year-old boy!"

The people below looked at each other, and after confirming that they had heard correctly, they shouted in unison:

"What? A 16-year-old boy?"

Li Shimin saw the shock in their eyes, nodded, and then continued:

"He can't write, doesn't know how to count, and has never seen silver."

Everyone was also puzzled. How could such a talent not know how to count and read?

Fang Xuanling bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

Li Shimin thought for a while and replied: "Do you remember that the drawings sent to the Ministry of Works yesterday were all written by Changle"

"Su Chen doesn't know what a ruler is. He has been alone since he was a child and has never read a book. What he says when communicating with others is all plain language."

Everyone was immediately filled with sympathy.

Wei Zheng sighed, "Heaven is unfair. Such a talented person is born in poverty."

Li Shimin nodded to show his agreement, and suddenly frowned again:

"But, I don't understand one thing. This person knows Changsun Wuji very well, but he asked what Changle Fuji is."

"He only knows Changsun Wuji, but he doesn't know Fuji." He glanced at Cheng Yaojin and continued:

"He knows that Cheng Yaojin proclaimed himself emperor in Wagang, but he doesn't know who Cheng Zhijie is."

"He also doesn't know that Li Lizhi and Princess Changle are the same person. He calls Changle Miss Li."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he stopped talking, and everyone frowned deeply.

Everyone was thinking: What kind of environment would create such a person?

At this time, Changsun Wuji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you go to the restaurant and meet this talented young man."

Fang Xuanling and others nodded in agreement.

Cheng Yaojin jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, I think this man is a pillar of talent. We should meet him as soon as possible so that he can serve Your Majesty."

After hearing what Cheng Yaojin said, everyone understood that he wanted to drink free wine!

Li Shimin nodded. He had already made plans. After all, the fine salt had not been settled yet. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Wait outside the palace gate in casual clothes at noon tomorrow! After Changle leaves the palace, go with me."

Everyone bowed respectfully and replied, "We understand!"

...

Sishi (9-11 o'clock).

Wake up naturally every day when hungry.

Su Chen came to the streets of the East Market, and at this time he still had the silver that Changle gave him yesterday.

"Hurry up, I heard that the tasting will end in the morning."

"Why run? At most, I'll spend a few coins and go into the restaurant to taste slowly!"

"I heard that the restaurant had a bad business before, but it's full today!"

"Of course, there's still a queue!"

Su Chen smiled when he heard it. He could tell that they were running to drink free wine.

Looking at the groups of people walking on the road, he thought: It should be the wine advertisement that worked!

Walking near the Leshan Restaurant, Su Chen was shocked by so many people and so many carriages? Did they really use carriages to carry money to buy wine?

Su Chen was about to squeeze in when someone suddenly shouted:

"Mr. Su!"

Su Chen looked at the man and he looked familiar. He had seen him in the backyard of the restaurant and his name seemed to be Xiao Ding.

"Mr. Su, the young lady has asked me to pick you up here. There are many people ahead, so I will take you to the backyard of the restaurant."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Okay, your name is Xiao Ding, right? When did your young lady arrive?"As he spoke, he followed Xiao Ding to an alley.

"Mr. Su, you have a good memory. I am Xiao Ding. Miss has been in the restaurant for more than an hour."

Su Chen nodded and asked again: "Is the restaurant doing well now?"

Xiao Ding replied respectfully: "When I came out, more than 20 jars of Yuye wine and more than 10 jars of Erguotou were sold."

"Well, I know."

Thinking: Not bad, I don't know how much the house price is in Chang'an! Can I buy a house in a month.

...

Soon, under the leadership of Xiao Ding, they came to the backyard.

Su Chen looked at the backyard and saw many boxes. He didn't know what was in them.

"Boss, Mr. Su is here," Xiao Ding shouted to Zhang Shun.

"Hello, Mr. Su!"

Zhang Shun felt a little guilty when he saw Su Chen at this time. After all, he was considered a person who betrayed him.

Su Chen smiled and said, "Zhang Shun, you don't have to be so polite when you meet each other in the future. Just call me Su Chen. Maybe we will meet often in the future. So many etiquettes are too troublesome."

"Okay, Mr. Su, the lady will wait for you on the third floor."

Zhang Shun felt even more guilty when he heard Su Chen say this. What a good person.

Su Chen nodded and pointed to the pile of boxes and asked:

"By the way, Zhang Shun, what are those boxes for? What's in them?"

Zhang Shun was quite confused. Mr. Su had never seen a money box before? He replied:

"Mr. Su, that's a money box. It's full of copper coins and silver. Let's open it and have a look."

Without waiting for Su Chen to answer, Zhang Shun opened a money box.

Su Chen walked up to the money box and looked at it. It was full of copper coins.

This was the first time he saw copper coins!

"Zhang Shun, how many copper coins are in this money box?" Su Chen asked

"Mr. Su, a money box of this size is full of 5 strings of copper coins."

Zhang Shun thought: Mr. Su has never seen a money box.
