I'm a marquis in Datang

This is very good.

If it were the son under his knees, let alone a quarter of an hour, if he left it alone for a quarter of an hour, he would already be unstable.

Li Shimin said: "Erlang, your performance in Yuxiang Tower last night was amazing!"

Du Qi smiled and said very humbly: "King Qin is absurd, but it's just some excerpts from chapters and sentences, so it's not worth mentioning. What's more, what the boy said is just talk on paper. That's what a man does."

Li Shimin chuckled and said: "Aren't you trying to talk about the fact that there are great Confucianists and no white men? Why, do you also like to fight?"

Du Qi said: "A man is a man, he can't fight in battle, he is a man in vain. As the saying goes, why don't men take the Wu hook and collect the fifty states of Guanshan. As a man, he should fight in the battlefield and serve the country. Generally speaking, if a horse rides Helan Mountain and makes the six armies of the Xiongnu feel ashamed, that is the real manliness."

"well said!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin showed approval on his face.

Du Qi's performance last night won Li Shimin's praise and appreciated Du Qi very much.Now that he heard Du Qi's words, Li Shimin felt that a child could be taught.

Chapter 34 The exchange of interests

exchange of benefits

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, looked at Du Qi, and said: "Your boy, you have always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so tell me, you came to see this king, what's the matter?"

Du Qi said: "The boy came to see His Highness, there are two things."

Li Shimin said: "Say?"

Du Qi took out a contract from his sleeve, handed it to Li Shimin, and said, "Your Highness, this is [-]% of my shares in the No. [-] tea shop in the world. Because I need the No. [-] tea inscribed by Your Highness, The boy will give [-]% of the shares to His Highness. Your Highness, don’t underestimate the [-]% and [-]% of the shares, after I open the No. [-] Tea in the World, I will definitely make a lot of money every day."

Li Shimin's mouth curled into a smile.

As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you can either rape or steal.Du Qi is a very cunning kid. Last time, in order to get the inscription of the best tea in the world, he exchanged it with the "New Wu Qin Xi" written by Sun Simiao himself.

Now, willing to hand over [-]% of the shares, there must be something planned.

This is Li Shimin's judgment.

He was a little curious, what is Du Qi plotting?

Li Shimin saw Du Qi's ability, especially after Du Qi's "March in the Army", "Humble Room Inscription" and "Six Kingdoms" last night, he no longer treats Du Qi like a child, which is not something a child can possess.

He has regarded Du Qi as an adult.

Li Shimin said: "The first thing is to give me [-]% and a half shares, so what is the second thing?"

Du Qi said with a simple and honest expression: "My second thing is to plead guilty to the King of Qin. Last night, Qianxue, the flower leader of Yuxianglou, was as beautiful as a flower, but also extremely talented. My shop just needs her." To run the business, and follow-up, there are corresponding business matters that need Qianxue to come forward. The boy went to the Yuxiang Tower early in the morning to redeem Qianxue's body."

"The old bustard of Yuxiang Tower is asking for ten thousand guan."

"The boy is poor, let alone ten thousand guan, even ten guan can't get it out, so under the pretense of King Qin's order, the king of Qin allowed the boy to redeem Qianxue's body. In the end, he redeemed Qianxue's body with four thousand guan."

Speaking of this, Du Qi thumped and knelt down, saying: "The boy pretended to be the king of Qin's order, beheaded first and played later, and begged the palace of the king of Qin to come down."

After Li Shimin heard it, he said: "You said you are penniless, so how come four thousand coins to redeem Qianxue's body?"

Du Qidao: "Reporting to the King of Qin, the four thousand strings were actually given by Miss Qianxue. In fact, the boy didn't pay any money, and the boy has no money."

Li Shimin said: "You are a good businessman. You can redeem Qianxue's body without paying any money. Moreover, after Qianxue leaves Yuxianglou, she will become yours."

Du Qidao: "What is your Highness saying, Qianxue's contract of selling her body was given to her. She is now a free person. If she wants to leave, the boy will not dare to stop her, nor will she."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, looked at Du Qi, and thought about it.

This kid Du Qi is really bold.

How dare you fake his order.

This is not something ordinary people dare to do.It would be impossible for someone else to do such a thing. After all, it involves counterfeit orders and is easy to be dealt with.

Li Shimin thought about it, and suddenly made a plan.

Immediately, Li Shimin said: "You boy came to plead guilty, because you are worried that Yuxianglou will arrange for someone to come to inquire. So, come to say hello in advance so that you don't go out of your way, right?"

Du Qi said: "Your Highness is holy!"

"Report!"

At this moment, the butler of Prince Qin's Mansion spoke from outside the study.

Li Shimin said: "Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and the butler hurried in, bowed to Li Shimin, but glanced at Du Qi.

Li Shimin asked: "But what about Yuxianglou?"

"Yes!"

The butler replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, Yuxiang Tower sent someone to ask if His Highness gave Mr. Du the password. Because Mr. Du took Miss Qianxue away at the price of four thousand strings."

"Yes!"

Li Shimin nodded and answered.

The steward said: "The villain will reply immediately."

After speaking, the housekeeper turned and left.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on Du Qi again, and he said, "Du Erlang, this king has done you a great favor this time. If your father knows about this, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it. You say Say, how do you plan to reward the king?"

Du Qi said solemnly: "Reporting to Your Highness, I have nothing on my body, so I can only do my best to thank His Highness. Speaking of which, I have something in my hand to thank His Highness."

Li Shimin said: "What?"

Du Qi immediately took out a drawing from his sleeve, handed it to Li Shimin's desk, and said: "Your Highness, this is to thank His Highness, please read it."

After Li Shimin opened it, he read it carefully, and asked in doubt: "Looking at the picture on your blueprint, this thing should be a plowshare. Is this plowshare a thank you to the king?"

"Yes!"

Du Qi said solemnly: "Your Highness, this thing is called Quyuanli. Although it is similar to the Zhiyuanli that is popular today, it is different in many places. Using this thing to plow the land can greatly increase the speed of plowing. According to the boy's instructions It is estimated that the speed can be increased by at least half. But the specific amount will not be known until after the experiment."

This is what Du Qi had prepared long ago.

He went to Yuxianglou, fooled the old bustard of Yuxianglou with empty words, and then came to settle Li Shimin.But if you want Li Shimin not to blame, you have to come up with something, so Du Qi was already prepared.

This Quyuanli is to thank Li Shimin.

Quyuanli was originally invented in the Tang Dynasty, but now in the early Tang Dynasty, there is no Quyuanli for the time being.Du Qi took out Quyuanli, which was extremely attractive to a ruler like Li Shimin.
