Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

"What! His Majesty told me to pay for it!"

"He does this filial piety, why should I pay for it!"

When Li You returned to the palace, he was furious when he heard the latest imperial decree!

This edict was sent by Duan Lun, he quickly said with a smile: "Don't be angry, You'er, the business is really good."

"Didn't Your Majesty exempt you from the taxes of the Shence Palace? Now brother-in-law Dou's business is booming, and the money for building the palace has been earned back in a few years."

"Besides, we have our own brick kiln and cement, so the cost of this palace can be reduced to a lower level."

After Duan Lun's explanation, Li You finally sighed and said, "Hey, that's it."

"However, can I also participate in the design of this palace? In any case, I will pay for it."

Duan Lun grinned and said, "Of course, I've told Yan Lide about it, and he has no opinion at all."

"If I didn't know what you wanted, I would have brought him here just now."

"Actually, after he knew that Food City is your property, he wanted to visit you a long time ago."

"He thinks there is too much ingenuity in the design of the Food City, both the building materials and the structure of the house are attractive to him."

The relationship between Duan Lun and Yan Lide is not bad both publically and privately, and the two have a lot of discussions in private.

Li You chuckled, this food city is a masterpiece he and Haig have completed together, although some parts are not as satisfactory due to rush work, but they are constantly improving in the later stage.

And Li You wanted to participate in the palace design, in fact, he wanted Haig to join the design team, so as to incorporate more advanced design concepts into it.

Of course, Li You still has some ideas of his own, he wants to use Xingong to make some articles.

For example, the two square cities he wants may be easier to obtain by using the construction of the new palace.

"Then how about it, Uncle Duan, I'm hosting a banquet in the food city tonight, and we invite Master Yan to come and have a good look at the food city."

"It just so happens that the new gadget that Haig made at Shence Mansion recently will definitely surprise Master Yan!"

Unexpectedly, Li You's words first aroused Duan Lun's curiosity: "What is You'er?"

Li You smiled slightly, and said, "Uncle Duan will come to see it at night, so I'll know it. It's meaningless to talk about it in advance."

Duan Lun was not reluctant, and after talking to Li You a few more words, he left the palace and headed towards the prisoner.

Soon, Li You and Haig returned to the Food City with the new product. After an afternoon of intense work, they finally completed the installation of the new product before Duan Lun brought his people there.

"Yan Lide met the King of Chu!"

After entering the door, he was obviously a little surprised to see Li Youyan Lide.

Although he had never met Li You before, he had heard a lot of rumors.

Now that I saw the real person, I couldn't react for a while.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my king's face?"

Li You was taken aback by Yan Lide, so he asked.

Yan Lide quickly withdrew his gaze, and said somewhat unnaturally: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect the King of Chu to be so handsome."

Li You also listened to such compliments, but it was the first time for him to be so direct like Yan Lide.

"Master Yan has a great reputation, please sit down, let's chat while eating."

Yan Lide is an artist, so he didn't talk about etiquette with Li You, so he just sat down and started eating and drinking.

Since he has no artistic talent, Li You respects those who engage in art very much.

Tonight's dishes are also carefully selected by Li You, which is a little more lively than the general Michelin-level dishes, and Duan Lun, who has eaten Michelin several times, is also very pleasantly surprised.

Duan Lun said that Li You still had secrets about his uncle, and Yan Lide was even more surprised.

During the dinner afterwards, Duan Lun introduced red bricks and cement to Yan Lide, the two artifacts of construction.

Yan Lide also did some research on these two emerging building materials, but he didn't expect that it was actually researched by Li You.

After asking more professional questions, Li You decisively invited Haig out.

As soon as Haig opened his mouth, he surprised everyone with his skills, and he convinced Yan Lide and Duan Lun with his advanced engineering understanding.

Then Haig took the food city as an example and introduced the cement pouring technology with iron bars as the backbone.

This time, Yan Lide was completely convinced.

And when Yan Lide heard that these ideas came from Li You, his eyes shone with a different kind of brilliance.

"The younger one has a daughter named Yan Wan, who is just one year younger than the prince. She missed the prince's selection a few days ago. I wonder if she can come to study too!"

After Yan Lide made the request, he looked at Li You expectantly.

Duan Lun on the side laughed, and was about to help Li You agree, but he heard Li You say: "Master Yan, this matter is probably a little difficult to handle!"

"You also know that the previous selection was carried out in the Imperial College, and many children of princes and ministers were also rejected."

"Although I have the final say on this new study, there are quite a few people staring at it."

"If Yan Wan is sent in because of our cooperation, I'm afraid there will be a lot of gossip."

Hearing this, not only Yan Lide's eyes were filled with regret, but even Duan Lun was taken aback.

Earlier, he had heard from Young Master Feng that Feng Baobao had passed the assessment and entered the new school, and originally planned to take this opportunity to send his son Duan Yan to the school as well.

However, after Li You rejected Yan Lide, he was a little hard to say.

However, Yan Lide didn't give up. He let Yan Wan enter the new school, obviously because he didn't want to drink.

"Prince Chu, actually Wan'er doesn't want to enter the new school, she just admires the prince and wants to get closer to him."

"If you can't enroll, can you let her come to you as a maid?"

Immediately, Li You was petrified.

【Yan Dajiang, your purpose is too clear, I know you appreciate my talent, but there is no need to be so anxious. 】

[Moreover, there is another problem, which is also very serious. 】

[Yan Wanna is the future wife of the little fat man. Although I don't know if the two of them have already seen each other like Li Chengqian and Su Xishui, but labor and capital will not do this kind of thing. 】

[I haven't even watched my own future wife yet, so I won't miss other people's wives. 】

[Labor and management are not LSPs like Li Er. 】

Seeing Li You's expressionless expression, Yan Lide thought that Li You agreed, and hurriedly prepared to thank Li You happily, when he heard Li You's refusal.

"It's better to forget it. This king has a girl who grinds ink. Besides, let Master Yan's daughter grind ink for this king. I'm afraid it won't sound good if it spreads."

"The Yan family is an elegant family, so I don't want any rumors!"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Lide understood that Li You was not that kind of person, so he could only let it go resentfully.

Duan Lun on the side quickly changed the topic and asked: "King Chu, you said you have something new to look at, and it's already this time, so hurry up and bring it out."
