The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 434 Hiding Li Er Next Door
Chapter 434 Hiding Li Er Next Door
After Li Lizhi heard this, a smile appeared on her face immediately, and she was even thinking about how Bai Jingyi would reward her. In her mind, the names of many dishes even appeared.

Li Er just glanced at Li Lizhi indifferently, and then continued to focus on the calligraphy and painting paper in his hand. Although he didn't understand why Li Lizhi was so happy, he was very pleased to see Li Lizhi's calligraphy and painting...

Li Er felt thirsty looking at it, but he held back his thirst and asked: "Just now Lizhi said that there are still calligraphy and paintings, please show them to me first!"

However, Li Lizhi turned her head and said with a faint smile, "Let's look at the rest of the calligraphy and paintings, Father, next time."

"That's fine! But I can see that during this time in the White House, you didn't waste your studies, and I'm very pleased." Although he said so, Li Er didn't stand up at all.

He turned his head to look at Li Li and asked: "Li Zhi just said that there are high-quality sweets. Quickly bring them to me to taste!"

Li Lizhi turned her head and looked at Li Er dumbly and said: "Father is not looking for a son-in-law, he has business to discuss. It's not too late to eat when you come back!"

Li Er suddenly felt a little speechless, but how could he bear to blame his precious daughter?

So he turned his head and looked at the maid beside him and said, "Go get me a bowl of tea!"

On the contrary, Li Lizhi said anxiously: "Father and the son-in-law have business to discuss, don't delay father's business, it won't be too late to drink this tea!"

Now Li Er was completely speechless, looking at the daughter in front of him, she seemed a little strange, she just dragged me and was reluctant to leave, why did she want to drive me away now! ?
Li Er really couldn't figure out the reason for this, so he stood up silently and walked towards the door.

And the female guard at the door was already ready, waved to Li Er and said, "Please come with me, Your Majesty!"

At this time, people from the aristocratic family were waiting in the living room, Bai Jingyi saw Li Er coming in this direction through the gap in the corridor back to the room.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then he strode into the living room.

And Li Er was taken by the female guards to a side hall separated from the living room by a wall, where he could clearly hear the conversation in the next room.

People from aristocratic families chatted and laughed happily. After seeing Bai Jingyi, they bowed their hands to him and said, "I have seen the King of Beiliang!"

"You don't need to be so polite! Why are you here today?" Bai Jingyi said unhurriedly.

And Li Er next door heard Bai Jingyi's voice and was about to walk towards the living room immediately, but what happened next cheered him up.

Li Er stopped and put his ear on the wall, listening carefully to the conversation in the next room.

The members of the aristocratic family smiled and said to Bai Jingyi: "With the blessing of King Beiliang, the shops in our family can be said to be making a lot of money!"

"That's right! Thanks to King Beiliang's strategy and reforms, otherwise, we wouldn't have made so much money!"

"If this shop can continue to open, the benefits it will gain are immeasurable! Hahaha, and all this is thanks to the strategy of King Beiliang!"

Hearing the compliments from the aristocratic family, the corners of Bai Jingyi's mouth rose slightly, and he responded with a smile. After all, such a good thing should not be cold-faced.

And the reason why they complimented themselves was that they were afraid that they would suddenly order all shops to close.At the same time, they are also hinting to themselves, how profitable their shops are, and if they can continue to open in the future, the benefits are indispensable.

Li Er hesitated again and again, but decided to continue listening for a while.

But Bai Jingyi heard the footsteps from next door, smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth and thought in his heart: "This Li Er really likes to listen to the corners! If so, there will always be times when you can't sit still!"

Bai Jingyi said with a smile to the people from the aristocratic family in front of him, "This is not a strategy at all! It's just to provide convenience for the people of my Tang Dynasty!"

"Adding shops near these common people will not only promote the sale of goods, but also allow more common people to participate!"

"In the long run, the common people will inevitably follow suit. Open shops on the street!"

When he heard this, Li Er's mind was instantly confused. If so, wouldn't Chang'an City be full of shops, so what rules are there?

One hundred and eight squares in Chang'an City are square and upright, built on absolute order and rules. If the main street is full of shops, wouldn't it be a mess?
Li Er couldn't sit still, but he still decided to continue listening for a while.

The people of the aristocratic family said very confidently: "I waited for the opening of shops on the street, all thanks to the credit of the King of Beiliang!"

"Without the permission of the King of Beiliang, ordinary people and even the dignitaries of Chang'an City would dare to open shops on the main streets of Chang'an City?"

"As long as the King of Beiliang gives an order, all the merchants in Chang'an City can be in our hands!"

When he heard this, Bai Jingyi smiled faintly, and he said slowly: "Could it be that everyone's thinking is too simple?"

"This king, above the court, has already said that the people of the world should be able to do business! Only in this way can we show the prosperity of my Chang'an city!"

"At the same time, it can also promote the development of Chang'an City. In the long run, it can..."

Before Bai Jingyi could finish speaking, Wang Chen stood up and interrupted, "The King of Beiliang doesn't know something! Our aristocratic family is deeply rooted in Chang'an City, with a profound foundation!"

"How dare ordinary people compete with my aristocratic family!?"

"If those dignitaries want a piece of the pie, they must also look at the face of the King of Beiliang!"

Lu's minister also stood up, cupped his hands to Bai Jingyi and said, "This drink does not forget the well digger. We and other aristocratic families have benefited from it, so how can we forget the kindness of the King of Beiliang?"

"The king of Beiliang can rest assured! Today, my Lu family's shop has at least one million yuan in revenue. I, Lu family, would like to give half of it to the king of Beiliang. Thank you for your kindness!"

Several other aristocratic families also followed suit and said: "We are also willing to donate half of the family's revenue to the King of Beiliang!"

When Bai Jingyi heard this, he smiled and said nothing, he was deliberately delaying time, wanting to know Li Er's reaction?
After Li Er next door heard what they were talking about, his face flushed with anger, his whole body trembled, and he wished he could rush out and curse.

People from several aristocratic families combined to donate at least 300 million guan to Bai Jingyi, which is equivalent to a whole year's tax revenue of a wealthy county.

In some remote and impoverished areas, even these taxes cannot be paid, and the money turned out to be just gifts from aristocratic families.
