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

Wei Wangfu

Today Li Tai hosted a banquet for officials from several aristocratic families. Cui Inzhi is one of the representatives of the Cui family, and there are also locust dishes on the table. Li Tai took a bite of the locust. He took another sip of wine and said to several people: "Not to mention anything else, my tenth brother's ability to make money is really admirable. It's really the Midas touch. Look at these locusts. They were originally regarded as natural disasters, but the people's demeanor changed after hearing the news. Like a scourge. But now you see. This locust can still make money. This time it saved the court a lot of money and food. Li Shen also made a lot of money. Many people who followed him also made a lot of money."

"What the prince said is true. This Prince Ji is quite capable in the business world. If you, Your Highness, can win over Prince Ji, it will definitely be a great help for the prince to achieve great things in the future." Du Chuke, Li Tai's first adviser road

"Hmph, I think it's just a trivial matter. Li Shen is greedy for money, and he won't be able to become a great person in the future. With the support of my family, there is no need to worry about success. Besides, there is a gap between Li Shen and my family. It is impossible to work together." Cui Renzhi But he said. Expressed the Cui family’s position

"Cui Yushi doesn't have to have such a big reaction. Lao Shi just robbed your Cui family's wine business. If he can help me, then I will let him share the technology with you. It's just that I think Lao Shi I'm very close to the prince. He may not be willing to help me." Li Tai comforted Cui Renzhi.

"My lord, Prince Ji is actually not very close to the prince. It was because we wanted his skills at first. That's why King Ji was very angry, so he sent [-] yuan to the prince. After that, we didn't hear about any contact between him and the prince. And I heard that King Ji and His Majesty have already stated that they want to be a idle prince and do not want to get involved in this matter." Wei Ting also serves as an official in the Wei Palace. He is regarded as the adviser of King Wei. He also heard Concubine Wei talk about how His Majesty wanted Li Shen to go to the East Palace but was rejected by Li Shen.

"Prince Ji's imperial examination policy has already posed a threat to our family. And if he wants to do business, he will definitely conflict with us. I guess he is not making any big moves now because he has not left the palace. And he is already making preparations. He almost bought the area south of Chang'an City, including those mountains and forests. He must have something to do. But now because he can't leave the palace for a long time, he hasn't done it." Wang Weiqiu, the censor, analyzed.

\"Brother Wang is right. This Ji Wang Li Shen will definitely have conflicts with me and other aristocratic families in the future. But now he has been living in the palace for a long time, and we can't get anything to do with him. So we can only let him be stable for a while. But we want to win over Jue Impossible.\" Choi In-ji praised

"Okay, let's not think about King Ji's affairs for now. He has little influence on our affairs. In the future, he may go directly to the fiefdom. We now need to discuss the stabilization of the status of His Highness King Wei. Now the prince's status is stable, and his temperament is also stable. It has changed. Even if we impeach often, it is all trivial. It cannot shake the prince at all. And the prince now recruits many talented people from poor families into the Chongwen Hall. These people will be the prince's sword in the future." Wei Ting is from the Wei family. He was able to enter the court thanks to Concubine Wei. Li Shen is his distant nephew. Of course I don’t want these people to say it. Li Shen's growth will have no impact on the Wei family at all. It might even be a help.

-------------------------------------------------- ------

September. Because the locust plague has passed by the people. The people also resumed their lives. Some people went to the suburbs to arrest them. I only gain a few kilograms in one day. The locust business has basically stopped. The price of the locust dishes at the Flavor Restaurant has doubled. Things are rare and valuable, and Li Shen doesn't have much in stock. This month, Li Shen wrote a book about all the Chinese food he remembered. Most of them are made to taste. He didn't know the specific materials. But he definitely knows the main material. In his previous life, Li Shen was also in his thirties. Traveled south and north. And the size is also considered a boss. It can be regarded as seeing a lot of the world. There are still quite a few dishes that I remember. In addition, dozens of short videos can be viewed a day to teach you how to cook. Experimental tips and stuff like that. The only thing that Li Shen felt was a benefit since he time traveled was that he had very clear memories of his previous life. He can also remember many things that he should have forgotten long ago. Li Shen heard that foreign research showed that at the moment of death, all the events in a person's life flash through their mind like a movie. Li Shen thought it might be true.

Li Shen passed on a few dishes to the chefs this month and let them explore on their own. Use whatever materials you like. Don't be afraid of wasting money. So after more than a month of research. The chef basically meets Li Shen's requirements.

Li Shen had nothing to do today and came to Dahuangzhuang in a carriage. Now Dahuangzhuang is completely different. All the villagers looked rosy and beaming with joy. When they saw Li Shen coming, everyone bowed and saluted. Li Shen is a good master. The reason why their life is so good now is because Li Shen, the head of the family, treats them well. Li Shen only collected one layer of the [-] acres of Yongye field. Li Shen's land can be rented for five floors a year. In the past, it was eight levels for the royal family. Don't think it's high. As Li Shen's food fief, they don't have to pay taxes, and they don't have to pay annual labor. At this time, the laborers had no wages and had to bring their own food. Therefore, in general restaurants, eight floors are rented, and the two floors are owned by oneself without having to pay taxes. It is much better than farming land for landlords. Li Shen also distributed rice and meat to Zhuangzi during the New Year and holidays. A lot of labor was used to build workshops in the village and dig coal. He earned five hundred cents a month and still took care of the food, which was the envy of the nearby Zhuangzi. Many people want to marry their daughters to the big and small palaces. This year several of them married girls from other villages. Li Shen also sent people to each family to give two cents of money as gifts. So Li Shen is very important to them. I am very grateful to Li Shen. Of course this is not for free. If Li Shen leaves the palace in the future, the palace guards will basically be chosen from the food court. They will do their best to protect Li Shen. If Li Shen dies. The food was taken back. Their good days are gone. Including future generations will suffer.

Li Shen was walking in Zhuangzi. The road has been repaired. It was stones brought from where coal was dug. After breaking it into pieces, spread it on the road and fill the cracks with sand. Along the way, I watched the happiness of the villagers. Li Shen felt very proud. It’s just that the houses in the village are all adobe houses. It made Li Shen feel that it was not good enough and he should build a house. Li Shen thinks it should be possible to bake bricks, and a simple version of cement can also be used. Li Shen knows the general principle, and Li Shen is rich. If it doesn't work once, do it ten times; if it doesn't work ten times, do it a hundred times. Li Shen didn't believe it would succeed.

Just as he was thinking about it, a group of children whizzed past Li Shen in the distance. He almost hit Li Shen. Provoking abuse from adults. Li Shen looked back at the group of children, thought for a moment and said.

"That does not work."

"What's wrong with you, Your Majesty?" Shitou asked.

"I said these kids can't do this and should study."

"It's too expensive for the prince to go to the city to study, and there is no elementary school in Zhuangzi," Wang Hongfu said

“If you don’t have one, why don’t you build one??”

"Build one??"
