Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 259 So Rude

Not long after they came, a group of fans also came back. The leader of the hundred households nodded at Qinglong. Qinglong whispered a few words in Li Chengdao's ear. Li Chengdao nodded and continued to eat.

After finally waiting for everyone to finish eating, the frightened Heavenly Master seemed to have been pardoned. At this moment, she had already lost her appetite and just wanted to get back to the ship as soon as possible.

Walking beside Li Chengdao, Tianshi secretly looked at the three of them. Although Qinglong was calm and sophisticated, and Suzaku was extremely beautiful, they were from Jin Yiwei after all. This method was more sinister and excusable. It was just that the appearance beside him was sunny. King Wu, who is handsome but cruel and sophisticated at heart, makes the Heavenly Master a little surprised.

However, instead of being afraid of him, the celestial master had a strange feeling in his heart.

"Your Highness, those people just now are just a bunch of street gangsters. Will your punishment be..."

Tianshi summoned up his courage to ask, but saw Li Chengdao nodded for the first time, and said a sentence that could almost kill Tianshi.

I saw Li Chengdao said sincerely: "The Celestial Master thinks so too? Hmm... It's really a little light!"

Li Chengdao and a group of people returned to the boat to see Lingbao and Princess Xiuhe were still playing chess, so they gave the food they bought to the maid on the side, and asked her when Princess Xiuhe and Princess Lingbao were hungry. , just let them eat whenever they want.

Lee Chengdao returned to the cabin, but suddenly found a person sitting in the cabin. This person was in his 40s, with a goatee, wearing a leather cap with beautiful gold silk, wearing a black robe, and a white cotton vest.

As soon as Li Chengdao entered the cabin, the fans in the cabin saluted, and the man quickly knelt down to salute when he saw this, and said in his mouth: "Little man Liao Jizhong, steward of Shenfu in Suzhou, pays homage to His Royal Highness King Wu!"

When Li Chengdao heard the words, he realized that the reason why the celestial master went to Suzhou was to pray for the old man in the Shen residence. Now it seems that the people from the Shen residence came to pick up the celestial master!

Seeing this, Li Chengdao called Steward Liao to excuse him, and on the other hand called his subordinates to invite the Celestial Master to come.

While waiting for the Heavenly Master, Li Chengdao and Steward Liao chatted about some domestic matters. It was the first time they met, and there was really nothing to talk about. Li Chengdao asked: "Steward Liao, I'm sorry for being presumptuous. Suzhou and Hangzhou have always been a place where rich people gather. I just don’t know, how is Mr. Shen’s family fortune now?”

Butler Liao was stunned when he heard this, and he was also a little unhappy. How could someone come up and ask you how much money your master has? He is still a prince. How come he doesn't understand the rules so much!

Li Chengdao saw that Steward Liao looked different, and knew that he had misunderstood, so he said with a smile: "Steward Liao, don't misunderstand, but today I waited to go ashore to eat, but I didn't want to meet a disciple. This man Cheng's father is Su Hang. The richest man, so I want to ask you, who is the richest man in Suzhou and Hangzhou?"

Steward Liao was relieved when he heard the words, and said with a proud expression on his face: "Your Highness, if you say that there are many wealthy people in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but if my master is called the second, I am afraid no one will dare to say that he is the richest man in Suzhou and Hangzhou." First!"

"Oh? If you say so, it's just the scumbag who is talking nonsense!"

Steward Liao smiled slightly when he heard the words and said, "You can't say that, Your Highness, this area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang has always been a place of prosperity in the world. There are many rich and powerful people here, and there is some comparison among them. If there is some strength in the family, it is natural for outsiders I want to show off my strength, but I don't know the name of the person His Highness is talking about?"

"Oh, that man's surname is Mei, Mei Xingzhi, and his father's name is Rimei Twice. Has Butler Liao ever heard of these two people?"

As soon as Li Chengdao finished speaking, he saw that Steward Liao's expression became tense, and he remained silent for a while. Li Chengdao knew that there must be a reason for it, so he asked, "What's the matter, Steward Liao? Could it be that the Mei family is really powerful, compared to the Shen family?" Anything more than that?"

"Hey! Your Highness doesn't know something. My master has been in business since he was a child. He has gone through wind and rain. It is entirely by his own efforts that he topped the list of richest people in Suzhou and Hangzhou. The eunuch Lu Zicong has a close relationship. He is an outsider, but within a year since he arrived, he has squeezed out a group of small wealthy businessmen. His wealth accumulation can be said to be in full swing. No one knows what he does. People have accumulated a lot of wealth.”

"At the beginning of this year, wealthy businessmen from Suzhou and Hangzhou wanted to join forces to squeeze Mei Erdu, but who would have thought that Lu Zicong would be appointed as the guard eunuch? Mei Erdu's business has not been damaged, but it has grown bigger and bigger. One by one, people said that he had a good relationship with Lu Zicong, the guardian eunuch, but no one knew what the relationship was!"

"It's just that once, when Mei Erdu drank too much by herself, she told everyone that the guarding condition was his own brother, but how could it be possible that one surnamed Mei and the other surnamed Lu? Everyone thought he was bragging, and the second After Tianjiu sobered up, Mei Erdu also said that she was just drunk for a while, talking nonsense and doing too much.

"But although we don't know the relationship with Mei Erdu, the relationship between Mei Erdu and the Suzhou and Hangzhou government is nothing to say. On weekdays, he is called brother and brother with those governors and governors.
He has quite a bit of a charlatanism, so the government takes good care of him, and people in the charades also keep close contact with him. "

"Just imagine, with the blessing of both black and white, what kind of business can't make money? So, our Shen family's wealth depends on ourselves, and the way is right, but Mei's second degree depends on the relationship. As for the source of wealth, That's even worse!"

Hearing this, Li Chengdao felt somewhat regretful, not because he was afraid, but because he was worried that if Mei Erdu had nothing to do with Lu Zicong, wouldn't it be ineffective for him to write down Ma Wei?

While thinking about it, the Celestial Master came. The Celestial Master and Steward Liao were old acquaintances and greeted each other familiarly. At this moment, Li Chengdao realized that he had forgotten to serve tea to several people, so rude!
Thinking of this, Li Chengdao quickly ordered: "Come here, show tea to Steward Liao and Tianshi!"

After hearing this, Butler Liao hurriedly came to Fanzi who was about to go down to prepare tea. He mysteriously took out a cloth bag from his arms, carefully picked up some from it, put it in Fanzi's hand, and then told him After a few words, I let go.

Seeing this, Li Chengdao and the celestial master felt strange, but Steward Liao smiled and presented the cloth bag to Li Chengdao, Li Chengdao took the cloth bag, and there was only a tangy fragrance in his hand.

Li Chengdao opened it in surprise, only to see that there was less than one tael of tea inside.

Butler Liao said with a smile: "I am just here, and I am lucky to meet His Royal Highness Daowu King. I invite Your Highness to taste this excellent tea. This bag of tea is less than one tael, but it costs four taels of silver. That's all." I begged my grandpa to tell my grandma to get it, this is a good thing with a price but no market!"

In this era, one tael of silver is enough for a family's living expenses for a year, but one tael of tea actually costs four taels of silver, and you have to ask a relationship. How much would it cost to buy it normally?Li Chengdao couldn't help being moved when he heard the words: "What kind of tea is this, so expensive?"
