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

Chapter 5 180 Catties of Old Rice

Outside the pearl grain store, everyone was frightened when they saw Gao Tai's bright eyes showing a fierce look.

Gao Taiming was complacent, and then he caught a glimpse of Li Yun's indifferent eyes and calm expression, and was immediately annoyed. He raised his hand and slapped him.

"Snapped!"

Li Yun easily grabbed Gao Taiming's hand, "You first wantonly raised the price of grain, but I exposed you, and you even wanted to beat someone up. It's really unforgivable."

After saying that, Li Yun shook off Gao Taiming's hand, and then slapped him.

"Snapped!"

Gao Taiming, who was standing behind the counter, was slapped down.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Murder."

Gao Taiming screamed a few times, and then realized that he had only been slapped. Feeling ashamed and angry, he pointed at Li Yun and shouted: "Slap me, I will take responsibility for what happened."

Gao Taiming's personal servant nodded fiercely, and then directed a few fellows.

"Don't be afraid, give it to me, he is a fool."

After the words fell, the servant rushed out first, punching Li Yun with his fists.

"It's too slow, it's not okay to hit people like this."

The boy's attack was full of loopholes in Li Yun's eyes, he punched him, hit the boy's wrist, and then slapped him out again.

Several guys were dumbfounded when they saw it.

Gao Taiming hissed and screamed, the guys had no choice but to step forward, but Li Yun slapped them down one by one.

Zheng Hu and his group at the back realized something was wrong, and hurriedly squeezed in, just in time to see Li Yun's demeanor.

"Although these guys are ordinary people, they are still so calm when facing several people. The young master is an expert!"

"This young master is so handsome and has such skills, no wonder the master values ​​him so much."

"Fortunately, I used to think that the young master had a problem with his brain, but now it seems that I am the one with the problem."

The guards all felt that their worldview had been refreshed. Li Yun's performance was completely different from before, but it was reasonable, and the master took it seriously.

Li Yun clapped his hands, smiled coldly, then turned into the grain store, slapped Gao Taiming again, and grabbed Gao Taiming's wrist.

"You profiteer is maliciously driving up food prices, and you beat up people even after being exposed by me. You are really lawless. Come with me to Jingzhao Mansion. We ask Mr. Fu Yin to get to know you well."

Gao Taiming was frightened, his face turned pale.

The old shopkeeper hurried forward, begging, "Master, if you have something to say, it's all my young master's fault. We are willing to make an apology. How about we give you six dollars a bucket of old rice?"

Li Yun chuckled, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"That's five dollars a bucket, young master, this is really a loss price."

Li Yun turned his head to look at the onlookers, and said with a smile: "That's fine, but it's not just me, everyone is like this."

The old shopkeeper saw that there were not many people around, only about [-] people, and thought that he would not lose much, "Okay, just as the young master said."

"Folk folks, buy old rice for five dollars a bucket. You are welcome."

A crowd of onlookers rushed forward to buy rice, and after a while, they finished buying, and Li Yun put down Gao Taiming's wrist.

Gao Taiming saluted honestly, "My lord, it's all my fault. I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes. Please forgive me, lord."

Li Yun waved his hand, "Remember, be careful in the future, this time I will teach you a little lesson."

Gao Taiming nodded.

"How much old chestnut rice do you have in your grain store?"

"There are still [-] dou."

The old shopkeeper replied subconsciously.

Li Yun laughed, "That's fine, I want it all."

"This... Young Master, our store does not accept credit."

Zheng Hu pointed to the carriage, "We have prepared several boxes of Zhuqian, who wants to pay on credit?"

Zheng Hu's bodyguards are strong and capable, and they are not ordinary thugs at first glance, and they are either rich or expensive to afford such a bodyguard.

The old shopkeeper didn't dare to renege on the debt, he could only smile wryly: "Okay, please wait, young master, we will arrange it right away."

At this time, Gao Taiming realized how expensive this little lesson was, and their grain store lost a total of [-] yuan.

He thought of his father's temper, and he would inevitably be beaten when he went back. He was sad for a while and passed out.

Two hours later, Gao Taiming woke up, pointed at the young man and cursed: "You bastard, you are a nobleman, and you tricked me into being a fool, you have done me a disservice."

……

The price offered by the Pearl Grain Store was still very fair. At this time, most of the old chestnut rice in Chang’an was sold at seven cents a bucket, and a few grain stores had stored old rice for too long, so it was a little cheaper at six cents and five buckets.

Li Yun took the money and quickly bought old chestnut rice in Chang'an. He bought a lot and had some discounts. In the end, for 100 million yuan, he bought a full 15 buckets of old chestnut rice, which is 180 million catties of old rice.

The house he lives in is a three-entry house, and the rooms in the outermost yard are already filled with old rice.

Zheng Hu couldn't help asking: "Master, what use are you for so much Chen Mi?"

"Didn't you notice that the weather is hot recently? This hot weather will last at least two more months, and then there will be a drought. After half a month at the latest, the price of rice in Chang'an will inevitably rise. If you have the conditions, save more rice now. Bar."

Zheng Hu thought for a while, "Then the young master bought rice to save the people from the fire?"

Without waiting for Li Yun to reply, Zheng Hu continued: "The young master is worthy of being a person who is highly valued by the master. Such a heart, such a magnanimity, the villain admires."

Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say that he wanted to make a fortune, when he heard Zheng Hu's words, he smiled wryly and nodded.

"The young master is so caring, so I should tell the master about the matter, and let the master pay some more money so that we can buy more old rice."

"Does Uncle Li still have any money?"

"Yes, young master, don't worry, I will go to find the master now."

……

In the Tai Chi Hall, the eunuchs moved out the ice, and the hall was cool and clear.

Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial, just now Wei Zheng's grandson Wuji and other ministers came over to discuss the matter between the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Tujue.

Seeing that summer is coming, the Turks are offending again.

Li Er is a little bored now, Datang is not strong enough at present, and needs to be patient.

"Your Majesty, Colonel Zheng Hu is back."

Zheng Hu is the captain of the Jinwu Guard.

"Oh, let him in."

"I will meet your Majesty at the end."

After saluting, Zheng Hu talked about Li Yun's matter again, and finally said: "Your Majesty, this is an extremely important matter, and the general feels that an additional 100 million yuan should be added."

Li Shimin was distracted, he was still thinking about the threat of Dong Tujue.

"Oh, what are you talking about?"

"Your Majesty, the general feels that the young master should add another 100 million yuan."

Li Shimin waved his hand, "Then you take my token and go to the internal treasury to ask for 100 million yuan."

Zheng Hu was overjoyed, took the token and left.

Not long after, Zheng Hu and his guards left the palace with a dozen large boxes in a carriage.

A guard said: "Boss, although the young master has changed a lot, how does he know that there will be a severe drought in the future? What if there is no such thing?"

Zheng Hu was taken aback for a moment, thinking of Li Yun's confident and indifferent eyes, he said firmly: "Don't worry, the young master will not be wrong."
