"How much is the tea?" Yao Chong and the others gathered together again. In the East Market, they were looking at places where people used large clay pipes to boil green tea.
"One yuan per bowl. Don't look down on it because it's foam tea." The person selling the tea explained.
"Here, four bowls." Yao Chong took out five yuan worth of coupons and handed them over.
The other party took it and gave him one yuan worth of coupons. He kept it well.
He accepted his fate. Li Yi, you can print money. I don't care.
Wei Zhigu looked at Yao Chong's expression and wanted to laugh.
Nowadays, everyone carried coupons with them at all times. It was really useful in Chang 'an.
Their coupons were said to be lucky. The day before yesterday, their table happened to be the 100th table of guests.
Because they were very lucky, they were given four coupons of different values. Each person took one and held the flowers.
The method of bribery was simply amazing. What was the 100th table? Was it so coincidental?
The key was to ask others. Others also won the prize, but some had an extra dish and some did not have to drink.
There was nothing wrong with it. Heavenly World was not a lucky event for one or a few people.
Even if the people from the Censorate were watching from the side, they could not do anything.
You don't allow businesses to organize activities? When I went to eat, even if I counted the dishes on the table, it was because I was quick-witted.
There was even a birthday party where Heavenly World's promotion came to your door and let you try the new dishes.
This was called promotion. When you tried it, you asked, you were actually a member of Heavenly World and it was your birthday.
Wow, Heavenly World specially launched a birthday discount package for members. One yuan was enough.
Then, a lot of delicious food was sent to you. On your birthday, you invited people to a meal and there was wine and food.
When you asked others, other members also had the same benefits. It was just different.
Thinking so, Wei Zhigu said, "I don't know how Doctor Li's brain works. He has endless tricks."
Zhang Shuo lowered his voice. "Now that I think about it, King Song did a great job. He went to the Imperial Plantation by the Ba River that day."
"Yes." Lu Huaishen sighed. "Only then did His Majesty go. Otherwise, with Li Yi's skills, without His Majesty's help, who knows how much trouble he would cause."
Everyone, including Yao Chong, agreed with Lu Huaishen.
That Li Yi always seemed to be taking good things out. It was very dangerous and easy to be targeted.
In reality, this was not the case. Once Li Yi discovered that the situation was not right, he would immediately respond.
He could turn enemies into friends, and then bribe and rope in more people.
Other merchants would feel heartache if they were to give up even a fraction of the profit. However, he was willing to give up 70%, 80%, 95% of the profit.
When doing business with His Majesty, the first thing he asked for was five percent.
It was said that he did not even use the ten percent profit from the Earthly Paradise. It was a separate account, ready to take it out at any time.
After that, he earned 250,000 from the Tubo people. How much money was that?
He actually casually gave it to the scholars who studied in the government schools and built the road from Chang 'an to Shu.
He had a way to make a lot of money, and he also had a way to give it to you reasonably.
Can you still deal with him? You have to protect him. If he dies, you won't get the money.
"With His Majesty watching over him, Li Yi doesn't have to deal with other dangers. He can use more energy to help the Tang dynasty develop. It's fortunate."
Yao Chong said something fair. He agreed with the action of blocking the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Other people should not go there for no reason and delay Li Yi's' research and invention '.
"The merry-go-round is not allowed? It's like a lantern at night. "Zhang said. He found a new situation.
The merry-go-round stopped, and the children's snacks were sold.
The four people finished their tea and went to the merry-go-round under the secret guard.
There was no one. The merry-go-round was' locked '.
Zhang asked the person selling the children's snacks, "There's no curfew. The merry-go-round can be played."
"Bashui Li Dongzhu said that hanging lanterns at night and riding on the merry-go-round will make the children absent-minded. It's called hypnosis.
Then the children will have nightmares and may wet the bed. They won't recover for several days.
They are not allowed to ride the merry-go-round at night. The children will be fine after eating some snacks. If you don't believe me, bring your children here.
I'll take a risk and let your children ride on the merry-go-round alone. Let's see how the children ride on the merry-go-round alone with lanterns. "
"No, no need." Zhang Shuo's hair stood on end.
Not to mention the children, he was afraid at this moment. Night, children, merry-go-round, lanterns, laughter. Why did he tremble when he thought about it?
"Is that so?" The person selling the snacks said, "Adults can also eat. Snacks. Look, there are fried shrimp slices. Buy a few packets."
Zhang said he would pay. He knew what the shrimp slices were.
Starch was mixed with dried shrimp powder and fried in oil.
There were twenty in a packet and it cost three coins.
Zhang said he would pay a ten coins exchange voucher and a two coins exchange voucher. He got four packets.
He picked one up and took a bite, "This money is too good. Li Yi's talent is world-shaking."
"Didn't Her Majesty say to let Li Yi try it first? Zhuangzi, to be honest, is more trustworthy in Chang 'an than in the imperial court."
Lu Huaishen said something he didn't want to say, but he had to admit.
Li Family Zhuangzi's reputation was better than that of the imperial court. In the eyes of the people, the imperial court officials were not as good as Li Yi.
Other rich people were afraid of being exposed, so they always covered it up. Even so, there were still people who talked behind their backs, saying how greedy his family was after becoming an official.
The Li Family's Manor was indeed rich, and it was on the surface.
When dealing with the foreigners, they had to pay 4,200 coins a day to force the foreigners to take the initiative to ask for peace.
The people felt that it was right and even encouraged and cheered for them.
They had a common enemy.
When Li Family Zhuangzi earned 250,000 coins from selling alcohol, the people cheered and celebrated. They were very happy.
Thinking about it carefully, were they not afraid? This was Li Yi's Zhuangzi next to Chang 'an. If it was anywhere else, he could influence the entire provincial government.
The provincial governor and the army had to act according to his mood.
"With Li Yi as an official, this old man can rest assured." Yao Chong seemed to understand.
"Of course you can rest assured." Zhang Shuo continued, "He can't be greedy or take bribes. He has money."
"I heard His Majesty say that this year, he will build five mu of greenhouses in each of the twenty counties of the imperial government. He will pay taxes as a show."
Wei Zhigu brought up the topic of taxation.
"Today, Zhangsun Xin sent a letter to the Prime Minister, requesting that Lantian County immediately implement a business tax. Hmph! He didn't even know that he was cheated. "
When Yao Chong heard about the business tax, he thought of Zhangsun Xin. That silly child.
"I heard that he found sixteen good craftsmen to make some Thousand Works Step Bed. The blueprint was given by Li Yi. His Majesty wants to borrow Li Yi's hand to deal with people."
Zhang Shuo knew some of the situation. His Majesty threw Zhangsun Xin to Lantian County for Empress Wang.
Otherwise, with Zhangsun Xin's temperament, he would definitely cause trouble.
"In the future, whatever Li Yi says, you must think carefully. His trap is a chain of traps. Zhangsun Xin is pitiful."
The astute Lu Huaishen didn't speak up for Li Yi. He was also afraid of Li Yi's schemes.
He felt that Li Yi was usually a very good young man, but once he was serious about something, he would make a series of moves.
When dealing with you, you didn't move. When you fell into the trap, others moved.
When you moved, you took the initiative to fall into the trap. You couldn't blame others.
"In half an hour, the Nan Qu play will start. Let's go see it. I gave you the tickets. One ticket is 100 yuan. It'll be a pity if you don't go."
Zhang Shuo didn't want everyone to revolve around Li Yi. He changed the topic. Li Yi would be fine in Zhuangzi.
