Great Tang Southern Emperor

Li Chengqian was also frightened, and said unconvincedly: "Hmph, I don't believe he can do anything?"

"Brother, just listen to a piece of persuasion. Things are not as simple as you think." Li Tai frowned when he heard the words, but he still persuaded: "The eighth brother's methods are not clear to others, don't you? The two big brothers Xue Yantuo and Huihe The tribes are all under his control, and the two old foxes Yi Nan and Tu Midu are not opponents of the eighth brother, so how could Brother Chong beat him?"

"Okay, okay, I get it." Li Chengqian said impatiently: "What's so scary? Didn't the eighth brother say that? No one will die. Brother Chong is at most in a bit of a mess. What can happen? Are you really What a fuss, what a big deal can you accomplish with such a small courage?"

"Forget it, do whatever you want, but it's best not to come out." Li Tai was also annoyed. He knew Li Chengqian's reluctance to listen to others, but he didn't expect that not only would he not listen to others' advice, but he would even say good things. I can't even hear the bad words.

"Let's not talk about this, let's go out first." Li Ke stood up and said: "The eighth brother said that this place will become very dangerous in a while, I don't think he is joking, let's go out."

"That's right, let's go." Li Tai didn't care about Li Chengqian, and left with Li Ke with his younger brothers.

"Hey, wait for me." Li Chengqian also got a little nervous, and hurriedly yelled, and then left.

"Your Highness, it's almost ready." Dozens of cauldrons have been set up outside Tianranju Restaurant, all of which are filled with white lard, which is slowly melting under the heat of the flame.

Tianranju is located on the busiest street in Chang'an, and there is a constant flow of people coming and going, but today there is a rare traffic jam. Many people gathered around the cauldron, pointing at the cauldron and making various guesses and discussions.

"Yeah." Li Zhen said with a blank expression, "Do two things for me."

Li Ergou hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please order."

"First, clear the venue and drive out all the people in Tianranju.

Second, help me buy all the shops around Tianranju.

Third, to mobilize five hundred personal guards to come here in the shortest possible time. "

Li Ergou had an ominous premonition in his heart: "Does this subordinate know what this is for? Aren't we going to fight?"

"Don't ask so many questions, go quickly."

"Yes, my subordinates will go now."

Chapter 8 Burning Natural House

"Eighth brother, what are you going to do?" Li Ke was the first to come out, and he also heard Li Zhen's order: "No troops are allowed to be mobilized within the city."

"I know, so I have already ordered them to take off their armor and come here in plain clothes." Li Zhen smiled slightly, but this smile was extremely terrifying in Li Ke's eyes, as if hiding a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"As for what I'm going to do, third brother, you'll find out later, the game is about to begin."

"Forget it, this time it's really wrong to attack my brother, and I won't persuade you, but it's better to pay attention to the influence." Li Ke sighed, looked at the crowd around and said, so many people, if they are really If someone sees something bad, it will be a big blow to the royal family's reputation.

Li Zhen still said the same words: "Don't worry, no one will die."

"Your Highness, the store has been bought." Lin San was very efficient and came over with a stack of land deeds.

"Is it so easy?" Li Tai and the others also came down, and they were surprised when they saw this: "I took a fancy to a shop last month, but let me talk nonsense, they just didn't want to resell them, and finally revealed their identities, the boss You just sold it to me. How did you make it so easy this time, and what method did you use?"

"People don't want to sell it, it's because you didn't pay enough." Li Zhen said: "Most of the shops around Tianranju are restaurants, but with Tianranju, they can't open for a long time, and I paid double the price." The price, they are naturally willing to sell it to me."

"Double money?" Li Tai was shocked: "Where did you get the money, eighth brother? Oh, I didn't mean that, don't mind eighth brother."

"It's okay." Li Zhen waved his hand: "Although I don't have Tianranju and Royal Sugar Factory, don't I still have Tianfang Workshop and Glass? But speaking of it, Chang Sun Chong is really an idiot. Know how to grab."

"" Li Tai and Li Ke looked at each other and smiled wryly. Why did Chang Sun Chong not want to snatch it?But dare not grab it?Not only Changsun Chong, but who in the entire Tang Dynasty is not jealous of this glass?But because of Li Shimin's action, it can be regarded as helping to protect Li Zhen's glass workshop industry.

In addition, glass is closely related to the wool trade (glass is more valuable than silver on the grasslands), no matter how courageous Zhang Sun Chong is, he dare not go against the national policy, otherwise, not to mention Li Shimin, the old fox Chang Sun Wuji will kill him first kill.

What's more, in Li Shimin's opinion, this glass is Li Zhen's lifeblood. If someone really snatches it, he will probably know it immediately. manage?

"Your Highness, people have come." There was a sound of orderly and dense footsteps on the street, and Lin San didn't need to look but listen to know that there was no one in the world except Li Zhen's personal guards trained by secret methods. The army can have such a high quality.

"Your Highness, five hundred personal guards, five hundred servants have arrived, please give instructions to Your Highness."

"Very good, let's start clearing the place." Li Zhen pointed to the surroundings and said, "Drive everyone away ten feet away. Without my order, no one is allowed to come, even people from the yamen."

"Yes."

"Your Highness, the oil has already been boiled." As soon as the onlookers were driven away, someone came to report again.

"Great, it's finally time to start." Li Zhen came to the cauldron, and sure enough, the tender white lard in dozens of cauldrons had been boiled into a honey-yellow liquid with a special fragrance , Pick up a spoon and stir it, it's ready to use.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do next?"

"What should I do?" Li Zhen chuckled, took a spoonful of lard and poured it on the wall of Tianranju, then turned around and said, "Follow what I did, and pour all the lard into Tianranju. , pay attention to ensure that everything is taken care of, especially the pillars and woodsheds, and more care must be taken."

"" Everyone was fooled by Li Zhen's actions and words, what exactly is this going to do?

On the contrary, Li Ke suddenly thought of a possibility, and immediately widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Eighth brother, aren't you going to burn Tianranju?"

"Ah? Burned?" Li Tai turned his head quickly when he heard the words: "Eighth brother, you are unwise to do this. You just snatched the natural house from my brother. What a pity to burn it? Besides, The most expensive things in Tianranju are recipes and cooks, as long as they have these two things in their hands, they can open shop elsewhere without Tianranju.”

"This is about my second trick." After speaking, Li Zhen turned around and asked, "Little Fuzi, do you remember all the dishes in Tianranju?"

"Of course my servant remembers." Xiao Fuzi quickly replied softly: "There are a total of [-] dishes, namely sweet and sour crucian carp, braised pork knuckle, sauce-flavored beef, and vinegared cabbage."

"Just remember." Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "In my study, there is a black box made of small-leaf fragrant pine wood on the third floor and fourth shelf of the third bookcase. If I remember correctly, there is this One hundred and eight recipes, go and fetch me all these recipes and sell them in various restaurants in Chang'an City. The base price of one recipe is ten guan. How many are willing to buy? Sell them all. .”

"Yes, servant girl will do it now." Xiao Fuzi bowed and left without asking any further questions.

Li Zhen looked at Li Ke and the others who were stunned, and said with a smile: "Third brother, my second trick is called "rather the jade is broken than the tile is whole". The reason why Tianranju can make a fortune is because they have unique recipes, but now I I have sold all the recipes. I believe that those restaurants that are forced to close by Tianranju must be flocking to the recipes. There are 37 recipes, and one recipe is calculated at ten guan. The city of Chang'an has the ability to eat all the recipes. There are 37 stores in total, one hundred and eight times multiplied by ten and then multiplied by [-], how much is this?"

"960 guan, almost [-] guan." Li Tai's anger was about to flow out, and there was only one thought in his mind-a lot of small money.

Although he also has shares in the bank, in order to expand the scale, most of the profits earned by the bank are reinvested into the principal, and not many can really be distributed to his hands.In this year, Li Tai had only allocated less than [-] guan. Now that he heard that Li Zhenguang could earn nearly [-] guan just by selling recipes, he immediately became jealous.

"Hiss!" Li Ke also gasped, and immediately smiled wryly, "Eighth brother, eighth brother, no wonder people call you Little God of Wealth, isn't the money coming in too fast?"

"Hmph, I think you are too short-sighted, eighth brother." Li Chengqian said unhappily: "The recipe is the chicken that lays the eggs. As long as you have the recipe, you will have a steady stream of money, but you are selling the chicken now. You can make a lot of money, but without eggs, that's all you can make."

"Hehehe, big brother, I think you are short-sighted, right?" Li Zhen said bluntly: "Have you forgotten? What is the name of the first skill I got? It's "Gourmet Encyclopedia", don't you think A "Gourmet Encyclopedia" only has these one hundred and eight dishes, right?"

Chapter 233 Burn It Up

Chapter 9 Let's burn it

Are you kidding me, how extensive and profound is the Chinese food civilization?Not to mention the eight major cuisines, but how many small local cuisines there are. He hasn't left Chengdu yet, laughing, he probably won't be able to leave Sichuan in this life), he doesn't know how many kinds of food Li Zhen has eaten, and he can cook eight hundred dishes if not one thousand, so many For recipes, it is enough to open any restaurant.

"This..." Li Chengqian suddenly became a little annoyed: "Is this how you talk to your brother?"

"Forget it, I won't play with you anymore, I told you, didn't you listen to my orders?" The last sentence was said to the people around: "Hurry up and pour all the lard in."

"Yes." Seeing that Li Zhen was a little angry, Lin San hurriedly beckoned someone to pour oil on her.

"Eighth brother, why are you doing this?" Li Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought he had changed the topic, but he still didn't want to give up Li Zhen's thoughts. It was snatched here, you can just snatch it back when you come back, why burn it? What a pity?"
