Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

When Li Shen left Zhao Guogong's mansion, Shitou was already waiting. Tell Li Shen that Xue Rengui bought a two-acre house. It took eighty strings. Then we drove back to our hometown in Hedong day and night. It takes more than ten days to go back and forth, mainly because the roads are not easy to walk. Or we can go back and forth in five days

It's past noon. Li Shen will have to return to the palace in a few hours. So Li Shen put aside his original plan to go to Zhuangzi. Li Shen thought, this won't work. He can't come out often. No one is watching when building a factory, let alone making wine. Distillation is actually not complicated. It is not difficult for those who are interested to study. If he is not in Zhuangzi, it will be difficult to guarantee that he will not be stolen.

I thought about it for a while. Li Shen changed his mind. Decided to buy a storefront in the east of the city first. The kind with a house at the back. Open a shop in front of this. There is a workshop in the back. Start small first. Waiting for someone to get it. Then arrange for people to go to Zhuangzi to build a factory. Let’s wait until he leaves the palace to live in the future. He decided to leave the palace as soon as possible.

With the decision made, Li Shen led everyone to Dongshi Yahang. stated his request. The shopkeeper of Baiguan Business personally entertained them. After hearing Li Shen's request, he thought for a moment. He said to Li Shen, "This husband is really a coincidence. There really was such a house in Dongshi a few days ago. The location is good and the price is cheap. There is a two-story store in the front. There is a house covering an area of ​​one and a half acres in the back. The store In the middle of Dongshi City. The location is really good”

"Oh, what a coincidence. I wonder what the price is." Every inch of land in Dongshi is very valuable. Not like West Market. The two-acre house in the West City has a street store. That's about two hundred people. Dongshi at least doubles the price

"Mr. Lang, I only need four hundred cents," the shopkeeper said.

"So cheap? It can't be a lie," Li Shen said in surprise. According to the shopkeeper's description. It takes at least six or seven hundred years to get used to it.

"I don't dare to hide it from my husband. The owner of this house is from my hometown and we have been in contact with each other for a long time. Just because I offended someone in Chang'an City, the business failed. I wanted to sell the house and go back to my hometown for refuge. Unexpectedly, someone took a fancy to the house. . The news was released and others were not allowed to buy. Many people who wanted to buy could not afford to offend this person. They were afraid of causing disaster. But my fellow villager was not willing to sell the house to this person at a low price. So I would rather sell it at a lower price. But no one has bought it yet." The shopkeeper said truthfully.

"Oh, then do you know who he offended?" Li Shen asked

"Du He, the second son of the Du family in Jingzhao," the shopkeeper said in a low voice.

"Oh. So it's him." Li Shen said. Li Shen knew Du He. Du Ruhui's second son. Fang's plan is over. The prime minister's son. It's a pity that Du Ruhui died a few years ago. The eldest son Du Gou inherited the family business. It's just that he has no official position and only inherits the official position. But Du Ruhui's remaining power is still there. Just give me some face. And this Du He dude. Frivolous temperament. Work under the prince.

"Go and call the owner. I want this house." Li Shen said to the shopkeeper

The shopkeeper quickly agreed to go out and look for someone. Two quarters of an hour passed. The shopkeeper came in with a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties.

"Mr. Lang, this is the landlord Wang Hongfu." The shopkeeper introduced him.

"Hmm, Shopkeeper Wang, sit down, don't worry, I bought your house. Let's sit down and chat. I don't know what business Shopkeeper Wang did before" Li Shen asked

"Lang Jun, I used to be in the cloth and silk business." Wang Hongfu replied

"Oh. I heard that you offended the Du family. Can you please tell me?" Li Shen asked again

"Hey. I'll tell you the truth. I've been in business for more than ten years. I started out as a businessman and later bought a front house in the East Market. It grew bigger and bigger. The business was booming. It was a happy time, but in the end... I offended the Du family when I purchased silk. I have always purchased materials in Henan Road, and many merchants are in Henan Road. The Du family is in Hebei Road. But this year, for some reason, the Du family went to Henan Road, and the price they gave was very high. Low, the common people are unwilling to sell. The common people we often cooperate with are willing to sell to us. So the Du family sent people to tell us merchants to buy at their price. But these common people have been buying and selling with us merchants for so many years. We We couldn't bear to let these people suffer. So we secretly purchased the materials from the people at regular prices. Soon after, the county government closed down our workshop. They said that what we used were defective products. It was against the rules. And I There were always gangsters coming to make trouble in my shop. Occasionally there were government inspections. There were fewer and fewer customers every day. Later, I couldn’t even pay the clerks. I knew it was the Du family’s fault and couldn’t afford to offend me. I was ready to sell the house and go back to my hometown. But A manager of the Du family came to me and offered to buy my house for fifty cents. If I didn't sell it, they would let anyone dare to buy my house. They just couldn't get along with the Du family. In the end, my price dropped again and again, but it didn't sell. Go." Wang Hongfu explained in detail what happened between him and the Du family.

Li Shen looked at Wang Hongfu and was thinking in his mind. Wang Hongfu should be able to offend the Du family's character for the sake of the people. Having been in business for more than ten years is considered experienced. It's better to recruit him as the shopkeeper. So he said to Wang Hongfu, "I wonder if shopkeeper Wang has any plans in the future."

"Hey, what are your plans? It's just to take the money and go back to your hometown in Henan Province. Be a small landlord. Let's spend a few years to avoid disasters." Wang Hongfu sighed.

Li Shen said upon hearing this. "Shopkeeper Wang. I have a suggestion and I don't know if you are willing to do it."

"I wonder what your husband has to propose?" Wang Hongfu asked

"As for me, I plan to do business. But I need a shopkeeper. So, if you are willing to help me, I will buy this house and give you a hundred cents a year. What do you think? Of course, since I dare to buy it I am not afraid of Du He in your house. I will also keep you safe and sound." Li Shendao

Wang Hongfu hesitated. The conditions given by Li Shen are indeed very high. If you get used to it every year, no shopkeeper can make so much money. And even though Li Shen is young. But the dress is not ordinary, and there are maids and guards around him. You should be able to save your family.

He himself wasn't sure. If he returns to his hometown, will the Du family cause trouble for him? It's better to find a backer, maybe you can be prosperous and wealthy in the future. Then Wang Hongfu bowed deeply to Li Shenshen and said, "Thank you so much to my boss. From now on, whenever my boss orders me, I will do my best."

"Okay. In this case, you don't have to worry about the Du family. I will send you [-] yuan tomorrow. The [-] yuan will buy your house. The [-] yuan will be used as this year's wages. Prepare the house deed tomorrow. Go to the county government to transfer the ownership. "Li Shen stood up again after finishing speaking.

"Go and see how your house looks like."

Wang Hongfu took Li Shen to his house. The facade is very large, with two floors. Positioned near the front. No wonder the Du family also took a fancy to it. If the Du family buys it at the full price, it really won't be Li Shen's turn. Li Shen went to the back house to look at the mansion, which was close to two acres. There were also many houses. Moreover, the courtyard wall is high enough to prevent night breakers. At this moment, Wang Hongfu's family still lives in the back house. But not in the future. This is for a workshop. And it was too noisy to live there.

Li Shen was very satisfied after watching the house. Tell Wang Hongfu that he can find a house and prepare to move now. He will come over tomorrow to deliver the money.

"My boss, what about the Du family..." Wang Hongfu said worriedly

"Don't worry. I'm going to ask someone to bring a message to Du He. He probably won't dare to come again." Li Shen said.

"My boss, the Du family is very powerful in Jingzhao Mansion. Ordinary people would not give this face." Wang Hongfu was still worried.

"Don't worry. This person will definitely work. I'll go find him right away." After Li Shen answered, he said to Shitou and others: "Let's go sit at Brother's place."

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince may not have returned to the East Palace at this time." Shitou reminded.

"It's okay, I told my sister-in-law as well. It's not a big deal," Li Shen said. He was going back to the palace anyway. The East Palace is right next to the Royal Palace. Saying that, he led everyone away

"Prince" "Prince, East Palace" Wang Hongfu was frightened by several sensitive words he just heard. It turns out that his boss is a young prince. And the person he wanted to find to reconcile this matter was His Highness the Crown Prince. Then there was a burst of ecstasy. He shouted, "He's saved, he's saved." He ran towards the house. Startled the servants. Everyone speculated whether Wang Hongfu was crazy.
