Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 3 Lao Li, lend me some money

The sun sets in the west, afterglow.

In front of the gate of the Taiji Palace, a group of burly and strong soldiers watched the passers-by vigilantly.

A beautiful carriage came slowly, followed by thirty or so men in uniform.

The soldier was about to scold, but when he saw the man walking in front, he realized that this man turned out to be the general of the Jinwu Guard, so he quickly shut his mouth.

Inside the carriage, Old Uncle Li was holding a large bowl with a small hole missing, and he laughed.

There are two dilapidated wine jars in front of him.

This is what he got from Li Yun.

His face was smoky, obviously a little drunk.

The carriage passed the Anshang Gate smoothly, and headed towards the Tai Chi Hall. It turned out that the kind old Uncle Li that Li Yun seemed to be, turned out to be the current emperor Li Shimin.

The carriage came directly to the Hall of Taiji, and Li Shimin asked Jin Wuwei soldiers to carry the wine jar into the palace, and he planned to share it with his courtiers.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wei is here."

The eunuch came forward to report.

"Wei Qing, it's so late, has he not come home yet?"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Wei Zheng hurried in. He looked a little angry, "Your Majesty, where did you go this afternoon?"

"I... I... I have a friend who is outside the palace, and I have gone to meet my friend."

"Your Majesty's rich body, how can you leave the palace at will? Now the world is uncertain, Chang'an has the former Sui Dynasty, the Turks, and the spies of Goguryeo. How can you be so presumptuous?"

Wei Zheng's words were harsh, and he didn't give Li Er any face at all.

Li Shimin was also uncomfortable, but he knew that Wei Zheng was doing it for his own good, so he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't worry Wei Qing, I will definitely be more careful in the future."

"Your Majesty still wants to meet that friend?"

"Naturally, he is very important to me."

Wei Zheng raised his eyebrows, "If Your Majesty wants to meet friends, just call them into the palace, and don't leave the palace easily."

"No, I can't do this."

"Why is this, is he an arrogant person?"

Li Shimin thought of Li Yun, thought for a while and said: "He is not arrogant, he is a talented person."

Wei Zheng chuckled, he didn't think there were any talented people in this world.

After all, there are Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Li Jing in the court, who else can compare to them?

"Wei Qing, I got two jars of good wine from my friends today, Ai Qing, try it?"

Wei Zheng is not a good drinker, but he knows how to drink.

He knew that Li Shimin wanted to ease the atmosphere of confrontation between the two, so he said, "That's it, I thank you, Your Majesty."

"This is good wine, the only one in the world, and Ai Qing has never drunk it before."

"Oh, could it be fine wine from the Western Regions?"

"No, it's our Datang wine."

Wei Zheng curled his lips, a little unconcerned.

He used to be an official of Li Jiancheng, and later he was mixed with Li Er. He rarely bought wine, but he attended a lot of palace banquets and drank a lot of wine.

He didn't think there was any wine in Datang that he hadn't drunk.

"And this wine is very fragrant, mellow and strong, with endless aftertaste."

"Your Majesty, don't speak big words."

There is no spirits these days, because spirits require a large amount of rice grains to be brewed, and ordinary people cannot afford to consume them, so they are all sake, with a very low alcohol content.

Wei Zheng doesn't think there is any wine that can be fragrant, mellow and strong.

Li Shimin laughed, "I know you don't believe me, but I still want to tell you that you will pass out after drinking a bowl of this wine."

"I don't believe it."

The eunuch carried out the wine jar from inside.

Wei Zheng frowned, "Your Majesty, won't this wine spoil your stomach?"

"Don't worry, I've tried it before."

The eunuch opened the lid of the wine jar, and a strong fragrance came out.

The eunuch wanted to use a wine glass, Li Er shouted: "Use a big bowl, a big bowl like mine."

After a while, a large bowl of Moutai was brought to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng smelled the aroma of the wine, couldn't help but took a sip, and felt a mellow aroma, which made people feel very refreshed.

After a while, I felt like a fire was burning in my throat, and I felt a refreshing and painful feeling.

Wei Zheng couldn't help but took another sip, and then drank one after another. After drinking a bowl, his face flushed and his eyes were full of fascination, "Your Majesty, you...how do you know how to clone yourself?"

……

The rooster crows, and the rich meaty aroma comes from the bun shop on the street.

Li Yun got up to wash up, cooked breakfast by himself, and then ate.

"Ding! The host needs to go to various grain stores in Chang'an to sign in this month. The task is completed and there will be surprise rewards."

Li Yun was taken aback for a moment, then reacted.

It is now the fourth year of Zhenguan. According to historical records, there will be a drought this year. At that time, Chang'an's grain households will rise, and the people will continue to complain. Li Er is forced to issue an edict of guilt.

"Is the system implying that I want to investigate Chang'an grain prices?"

"If I have a lot of money, I start stockpiling food now, and I can make a lot of money by then."

"Of course, if I distribute grain at a low price, I might get the court's attention, and I might get some rewards."

"But I don't have any money? Old Uncle Li doesn't know if he has any. Every time he comes over, there are 40 to [-] guards around him. He should have money."

"Next time Uncle Li comes over, I'll ask him to borrow some money."

Li Yun then went out, and not long after, he came to Tianxia Grain Store.

There were not many people buying grain at this time, so Li Yun asked the price.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in, and reward the host for amateur-level Wing Chun specialization."

Amateur Wing Chun?

It should be better than the old lady's Taijiquan.

Li Yun compared a pose casually, feeling a different momentum.

It's okay, at least it's impossible to get weaker and weaker.

Li Yun then went to other grain stores to inquire about prices.

For the next three days, he went to a different grain store for the first time every day, and he was rewarded by the system.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in, and reward the host for semi-professional Wing Chun specialization."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in, and reward the host for professional Wing Chun mastery."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully punching the card, and reward the host for master level Wing Chun specialization."

On the afternoon of the third day, Li Yun was practicing Wing Chun in the yard. He played the cosmic pill in his previous life, and he felt that he should be able to hit ten at a time.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter outside, and it was the voice of Old Uncle Li.

Li Yun greeted him immediately, and soon after, he cooked a table full of dishes and poured a bowl of Moutai for old Uncle Li.

"Old Uncle Li, drink."

"Old Uncle Li, this meat is fragrant and tender."

"Old Uncle Li, this vegetable is also good."

Old Uncle Li, also known as Li Shimin, chuckled, "It's nothing to be courteous, but something weird, what's the matter with you, just tell me."

Li Yun nodded, "I can't hide it from you, old Uncle Li, your family should be very rich, right?"

"It's not bad, it's not very rich, but it's passable."

"That's right. I've recently taken a fancy to a profitable business. Can you lend me some money?"

Li Shimin waved his hand indifferently, "No problem, I'll send someone over later, just wait."

Li Yun saw that Uncle Li didn't ask how much he borrowed, thinking that Uncle Li might not care about a little money, so he didn't bother to ask, so he didn't say much.
