"Zhangsun Ruoshi, please." On the third floor of Heavenly World.
Several envoys from the Japanese Empire invited Changsun Wanyun, the secretary of Honglu Temple, for a meal. During the meal, Takagi Junichiro raised his wine cup.
"Please!" Changsun Wanyun also raised his wine cup and drank. He looked at the pedestrians on the street through the glass window and smiled.
"Why is Zhangsun Ruoshi smiling?" Shimido Jinbei observed Changsun Wanyun's expression and immediately asked.
"The people have a good life, and I feel happy. It was not like this a few years ago. Look."
Changsun Wanyun pointed at the people standing at the station below.
"What was it like a few years ago?" Shimido Jinbei asked.
"I heard that this track was only built this year. It was not so convenient to travel a few years ago." Fujiwara Ma Yang continued.
As he spoke, a carriage came over. The people in the carriage got off first, and the people on the platform got on.
There was envy in his eyes. He did not know when the same thing would be available in Pingcheng and Jingcheng in Japan.
"No, it's not a carriage. It's the clothes worn by people." Changsun Wanyun shook his head.
He continued, "At that time, many men were bare-chested, and many women were only wearing linen clothes. There were no dirty clothes inside, not to mention children running around naked.
Now, women's clothes are beautiful, and men wear waistcoats. Children's clothes are the most beautiful. Look at the sandals, made of straw. "
The straw sandals he mentioned were like leather sandals. The straw sandals were wider, and children looked very cute when they wore them.
In the past, not only were they poor, but many new things could not be seen.
"Is it the various styles given by Li Yi?" Takagi Junichiro asked knowingly.
"Yes." He withdrew his gaze and took a bite of food. Today's meal cost more than 100 yuan. The price of things in Heavenly World was high.
He ate lotus root slices. Chang 'an was not ready for lotus root now. The earliest lotus root was in the south, and it would take more than 20 days.
The lotus root in the north would only be available when the weather was cold.
The Heavenly World had it now, or it could be said that it could be provided all year round.
One plate costs 20 yuan. If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to eat it.
There was also free soup in the Celestial World.
"We only just found out that the Li Family Zhuangzi needs honey, and we accidentally took some. I wonder if we can apologize to Li Dongzhu?"
Shimodo Jinbei took the opportunity to mention the purpose of inviting Changsun Wanyun.
They could only invite Changsun Wanyun. They couldn't invite the Deputy Minister of Honglu Temple and the Deputy Minister of Honglu Temple. They were arrogant and disdained to invite them.
"Aiya!" Changsun Wanyun sighed, thought for a moment, and said, "This meal is on me. Do you want to add anything?"
"Ah?" The four people from the Japanese Empire were stunned. They had spent a thousand yuan to apply for a membership card. Why was he treating them?
"Zhangsun Ruoshi, we don't need you. We want to eat with you." Takagi Junichiro quickly stopped him.
"But I can't help you. I don't deserve it. Xiaoyun. "Changsun Wanyun shook his head and shouted.
"Ah! Zhangsun Ruoshi. "Xiaoyun responded almost instantly. The bead curtain moved, and she appeared in front of everyone.
Her eyes moved, giving people the feeling that she was looking at them. They had to show off in front of her.
Basically, people who had traveled far and wide would think the same when they saw her and Lu Wan. They were professionals.
Of course, important officials like Yao Chong and Bi Goo didn't care.
The younger officials couldn't bear it, except for Li Yi.
"This meal is …" Changsun Wanyun wanted to say that it was on him, but his expression was still like "I don't have money, but you have to give me face."
"It's Zhangsun Ruoshi who wants to eat hotpot. Xiaoyun, do you think it's okay to eat hotpot on such a hot day?" Takagi Junichiro didn't dare to let Changsun Wanyun pay for it.
"It's not okay. If you eat too much, you'll get heaty. Zhangsun Ruoshi, I know you're still young and your body isn't weak. Why do you need to eat that?"
Xiaoyun followed along and looked at Changsun Wanyun with her big eyes. She used the mascara and eyelash curler that Li Yi had invented to make her eyelashes flutter.
In fact, Li Yi still had fake eyelashes that he hadn't used yet. He was going to show them to Bi Goo when Bi Goo came looking for him.
Changsun Wanyun knew that it was all an act, but he still couldn't bear it.
He could only smile bitterly. "Li Dongzhu actually likes to eat hotpot. I heard that last time he looked for Bi Zaifu to eat hotpot, and he mentioned it.
He said that he needed honey worth 20,000 cun, which was his purchase price. He was very worried that he couldn't collect the honey. "
"I'll go add a fruit platter. Li Dongzhu is the boss of Earthly Paradise."
Xiaoyun looked around, slightly bowed, and gently lifted the bead curtain behind her and left.
The four people from the Japanese Empire looked at Changsun Wanyun. They had heard that Li Yi wanted 20,000 cun of honey, and that wasn't their purchase price.
If they continued to collect, they'd actually spent 25,000 cun of honey. They'd paid 25% more to collect it.
25,000 cun to meet Li Yi? This price …
They felt that it was expensive. In the past, they could find a princess and get a small official position for 30 cun.
Now that they wanted to meet Li Yi, 25,000 cun?
Of course, they didn't know the market price.
If it was Li Yi's time, with Li Yi's position, he could meet the ministers, the prime minister, and the president at will.
If you gave him 25 million, would he meet you?
Changsun Wanyun looked at the four people calculating and said, "But it's okay. Bi Zaifu said that the imperial court can collect a lot of honey from other places, at least 300,000 catties.
When the time comes, we can directly give it to Li Dongzhu. At that time, the Li Family Zhuangzi will have enough. That's honey worth millions of cun. "
"Zhangsun Ruoshi, we have honey worth 25,000 cun. I don't know if you can put in a good word for us?"
When Takagi Junichiro heard that Li Yi would soon have more honey, he became anxious. He put his hand in his sleeve and reached out to Changsun Wanyun.
Changsun Wanyun's hand was also in his sleeve. The two people's sleeves touched and then retracted.
Changsun Wanyun looked out of the window with a thoughtful expression. His other hand reached into his sleeve, took out a roll of exchange tickets, and slightly lowered his head to check.
They were all large-denomination coupons of 10 cun. There were 20 of them.
He looked out of the window with a worried expression. "It's not easy for the people. Chang 'an is expensive. Everyone is busy. I wonder what they want?"
"It must be clothes. It's comfortable to wear clothes that fit. Zhangsun Ruoshi, let me look at your sleeves."
Takagi Junichiro once again reached out his sleeve and touched Changsun Wanyun's sleeve.
"Yes, eating and wearing clothes are necessary. I will do your business well even if I have to risk my life. "
Changsun Wanyun looked at the money. 30 cun, not bad, 500 cun.
If he handed it in himself, he could get 50 cun, which was a 10% ratio.
If he didn't hand it in, he would lose his position.
If he did his business well, Li Dongzhu would give him an extra reward. Li Dongzhu wanted the honey to be made into pills for the people.
Li Dongzhu couldn't eat honey all day. Honey was salty.
"Zhangsun Ruoshi, thank you. Let me toast you." Takagi Junichiro raised his wine cup, and the other three people from the Japanese Empire followed suit. Success.
