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

Chapter 4 Being handsome is also a burden

In the early morning of the next day, a group of guards came to the courtyard where Li Yun lived.

They escorted a dozen large boxes.

"Master, this is the Zhu Qian that Master Li asked us to send over. It's a total of 100 million coins."

Datang did not trade with gold and silver, but with Zhuqian and cloth.

Ordinary people only spend a few hundred dollars a month, but Uncle Li only spends 100 million dollars.

Li Yun couldn't help being a little surprised, but more excited.

The more money he has, the more food he can buy.

"Master, my subordinate Zheng Hu, Master Li said that we are following your orders these days to protect the safety of these Zhu Qian."

"Okay, that's hard work."

Li Yun then returned to the room, he took out the top-quality beauty pill from the system, and swallowed it without saying a word.

A hot current spread from the throat and spread throughout Li Yun's body in an instant, making his mouth and nose itchy.

After a while, this strange feeling disappeared.

Li Yun fetched a basin of water and looked forward.

I saw a young master Pianpian with a peerless face reflected in the water basin, and this face had an air of elegance beyond dust.

With this appearance, Bai Gu can compete with me.

Li Yun was happy in his heart, and then walked out.

"Everyone, follow me to buy food."

Zheng Hu and his guards nodded, and inadvertently rolled their eyes, and were stunned for a moment.

This is too pretty, right?
How could there be such a good-looking man in this world?
If he likes men, should I follow?
A gust of cool wind blew, and Zheng Hu was shocked. Seeing that his subordinates looked like they had never seen the world, he cursed in a low voice: "Come back to your senses, don't act like a fool."

Li Yun was also unwilling to wait. According to historical records, the drought was coming soon, and he wanted to buy grain quickly.

So he asked the guards to escort Zhu Qian and went out.

Not long after, Li Yun came to the Pearl Grain Store in Dongshi, which he hadn't checked in yet.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully punching in the card, and reward the host with a god-level Wing Chun mastery."

God-level Wing Chun?
Li Yun waved his hand and didn't feel anything unusual.

He looked up at the others, the porter who was carrying two bags of rice, the aunt who came to measure the rice, and the shopkeeper who was making calculations.

Li Yun clearly saw the trajectories of their hands and feet, and the defense loopholes exposed by their bodies.

He suddenly thought of Wing Chun, and he was sure that based on these defensive loopholes, he could choose the best attack method and accurately defeat the opponent with Wing Chun.

Is this the god-level Wing Chun boxing?
It's just hanging up.

I was worried that I had no combat experience before, but now I can see the loopholes in their defense. Even if I have no combat experience, I can seize the fleeting opportunity and easily defeat them.

At this time, other people also noticed Li Yun.

The aunts who were pushing back and forth in front were stunned.

This is too pretty, my wife is 20 years younger and must marry this young man.

The porter carrying the rice was also stunned.

This **** person is more than angry. If I am so handsome, I can just find a rich woman to eat softly, so I don't need to work so hard.

In the grain store, there was also a fat young man with acne scars all over his face. When he saw Li Yun, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and then showed anger.

I am so rich, but my face is full of acne marks, and the girls in Chunlou despise it.

How can this kid be so handsome?

The son's name is Gao Taiming, and he is the young owner of this pearl grain shop.

There was a servant next to Gao Taiming. Seeing Gao Taiming's expression, the servant immediately said, "Master, don't look at that guy's good looks, he is actually a fool."

"Fool, what are you talking about? Is there such a good-looking fool? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Master, I never lied to you. It's true. He lives at my house. Everyone knows he's a fool."

Gao Taiming paused for a moment, asked a few more questions, and sneered after confirming.

"Very well, if this fool dares to come to my store to show off, then I will teach him a lesson."

Li Yun didn't know that being handsome was a burden, so he lined up with a smile, and when it was his turn, he asked, "How do you sell aged chestnut rice?"

During the Tang Dynasty, there were mainly three kinds of rice. Southerners mainly ate rice, northerners mainly ate chestnut rice, and some people ate yellow sticky rice.

Because there is no preservation technology like later generations, the rice at this time is divided into new rice and old rice.

Aged chestnut rice refers to the old rice produced before.

Although Li Yun has 100 million yuan, he wants to buy as much rice as possible, so he plans to buy mainly old rice.

The shopkeeper was about to answer, when Gao Taiming walked over, squeezed the shopkeeper away, and then replied: "Twenty cents a bucket."

Hearing this, Li Yun asked in amazement: "Other grain shops sell seven dollars a bucket, why are you so expensive here?"

A few days ago, he was inquiring about rice shops in various places in Chang'an, and he already knew the prices of good rice in various places in Chang'an.

In Chang'an, rice is more expensive than chestnut rice. New chestnut rice costs ten qian per dou, while old chestnut rice costs seven qian per dou.

Gao Taiming chuckled, "Seven cents a bucket is sub-rice mixed with sand. If you eat that kind of rice, your stomach will be ruined."

"My family is an old-fashioned rice store, with a reputation of 50 years, there will be absolutely no problems."

"Although this chestnut rice is old, the grains are real and there is no sand. Don't miss it."

As Gao Taiming spoke, there was a look of mischief in his eyes.

Li Yun saw it, shook his head and said: "Don't lie to me, other grain stores are seven dollars, you just say twenty dollars, do you really think I don't understand the market?"

"You get what you pay for, you smart man, can you buy it for seven yuan, can it be the same as my twenty yuan rice? What you eat is healthy."

Li Yun understood that this person was playing tricks on him on purpose, and he was too lazy to argue with such a person.

At this moment, an aunt next to him said, "Boss, don't lie to the young man. All the grain stores sell it for seven dollars. How do you say twenty dollars?"

This is a kind and courageous aunt.

Gao Taiming was furious in his heart, he didn't expect that this poor and ugly old woman would dare to question him?

"Damn woman, shut your stinky mouth, beep beep again, I will smash your mouth."

The aunt was startled and looked at Gao Taiming in horror.

Li Yun frowned, he didn't want to care about it at first, but Gao Taiming's attitude was too bad, he lied to him just now, he didn't bother to respond, now because he threatened a passerby who spoke up.

Li Yun couldn't keep silent, so he raised his voice and said: "The old chestnut rice in Chang'an is worth seven yuan, but here you are twenty yuan. You are wantonly driving up the price of rice. You have violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty. If you don’t believe me, I’m going to arrest you to see the officer now.”

During the Zhenguan period, the price of rice was strictly controlled, and Li Shimin attached great importance to the price of rice.

In the old Tang book and the new Tang book, the price of rice in Chang'an in the fourth year of Zhenguan was four yuan a bucket.

Many people question this data, but most historians of later generations believe that Zhenguan has a bumper harvest in four years, so the price of rice is cheap, and most of it is seven or eight dollars a bucket in normal times.

When Gao Taiming heard this, he was frightened.

But he quickly reacted and said angrily: "You fool dare to slander me, you want to beat me!!"
