Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

"broken!"

Almost instantly, Li Chengqian knew that he was going to be unlucky again!

Last time, I took the shackles to buckle the gate, and was almost beaten to death by my father.

What will happen this time?

He ran out with a whoosh.

Liu Bai glanced at Xu Chu, Xu Chu took a big stride, and arrested Li Chengqian in the blink of an eye!

Di Zhixun didn't know why, "My lord, His Royal Highness, he"

Liu Bai ignored him, but asked Li Chengqian kindly, "Chengqian, is the fish delicious?"

Speaking of whale meat, Li Chengqian retched again.

But he was not stupid, he knew that Liu Bai was going to make a fuss about whale meat.

All I can say is, "It's delicious."

Liu Bai nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Since it's delicious, naturally you should think about the elders in the family. I'll ask Lao Zhou to bring back some more whale meat. How about you come to entertain the elders of the royal family?"

Chapter 170: I am also a prince after all, so let me eat whale meat, let me do it?

The transportation of the whales is not a problem. With the ability of the Liu family caravan, no matter how far away it is, it can be sent back to Chang'an smoothly.

The only difficulty is how to catch whales from the sea.

However, Lao Zhou patted his chest and promised that he would be able to bring back a large amount of whale meat in the shortest possible time, so Liu Bai was relieved.

As for how to operate it, it depends on Li Chengqian.

Before, as long as it was something arranged by Liu Bai, he would design the details in advance.

For example, Li Chengqian was wearing shackles, every step was within Liu Bai's expectation.

But this time, Liu Bai didn't want to interfere too much.

Of course, there is the meaning of sharpening Li Chengqian.

But more importantly, let the Liu family stop showing up.

From the affairs of the Cui family to the establishment of the academy, all the credits have been added up, and Li Erfeng and Liu Bai are more than enough to be a duke.

What's more, in more than a month, potatoes and corn can be picked, which is another great achievement.

It can be said that Liu Bai can rest on the credit book and earn money for a lifetime.

If you show off the limelight again, it will inevitably appear that the officials in the court are too incompetent.

In contrast, Liu Bai still stands behind the scenes and just needs to grasp the general direction.

Making a fortune in silence is the kingly way!

In addition, although the statement that the giant fish died of the prince is a bit nonsense, the princes of the Li family are not so easy to offend.

If they cannot accept eating whales, then the common people will not dare to eat them.

Only Li Chengqian can avoid being sprayed to death by the princes of the Li family.

Leaving Li Chengqian and Lao Zhou in the hall to discuss, Liu Bai strolled out and became the shopkeeper.

After calculating an approximate 'shipment volume', Lao Zhou didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately set off for Youzhou.

Li Chengqian locked himself in the room and didn't show up all day.

Early the next morning, he hurried to Chang'an.

Academy!

Li Ke squatted in the corner of the dormitory, holding a fan, and fanning a small clay stove.

There was boiling hot rice porridge in the clay pot, and the whole dormitory was filled with a strong aroma.

boom!

The door was kicked open, Li Ke was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Fireworks are strictly prohibited in the dormitory, and if someone finds out, they will have to sweep the floor for at least a month.

Seeing that it was Cheng Chumo who came, Li Ke felt relieved, and said angrily, "Do you know what it means to knock on the door?"

Cheng Chumo didn't care about this, rubbed his stomach, "Is the porridge ready?"

Li Ke rolled his eyes, "Another one eating and drinking!"

Cheng Chumo smiled, and Li Yifu, who was standing at the door watching the wind, turned red.

There is no way, the food in the academy is worse than pig food, and Li Ke's craftsmanship is so good, he can only eat some with the cheek.

A bowl of porridge will be ready soon, and Li Ke just wants to serve a bowl.

boom!

The door was kicked open again!

"Who is it!"

Li Ke was completely angry.

Can you still make people feel at ease to have a meal?

After seeing the person coming, he couldn't help but startled again.

"Brother Emperor?"

Li Chengqian sniffled, "You guys are having a good day!"

He unceremoniously snatched the big bowl from Li Ke's hand, filled a bowl for himself, and drank it contentedly.

After eating, Li Chengqian said: "Go, follow me to the East Palace!"

Li Ke didn't know why.

"I still have homework. Today is Mr. Yu's lecture. Don't miss it!"

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes. According to his understanding, Li Ke is not someone who loves to learn.

"I've already greeted Master Yu, you don't have to come back in the last few days!"

After saying that, Li Chengqian ignored Cheng Chumo and Li Yifu, grabbed Li Ke by the neck and left.

Lao Zhou's ability to handle affairs is very strong. Before he left Jingyang, he sent a letter to the guys in Youzhou, asking them to prepare for whale hunting.

When he arrived in Youzhou, the whale meat in Liu's warehouse had already piled up like a mountain.

Moreover, in order to ensure that the whale meat does not rot, all of them have been smoked.

He immediately arranged a caravan to transport the whale meat to Chang'an.

And all of this in less than six days!

The efficiency of the Liu family's caravan is well-known throughout the world. After receiving the news, Li Chengqian immediately began to prepare for the banquet.

East Palace!

No matter how high his status is, Li Chengqian is still a junior.

To send invitations to the princes of the Li family, you must write them yourself.

Because of this, he arrested Li Ke and used him as a labor force for writing invitations.

On the desks of the two of them, several stacks of blank invitation cards were coded, and Li Ke's hands were numb from writing.

He sighed, wanting to rest for a while, but suddenly found Li Chengqian staring at him.

I can only sigh again and continue to write.

After a whole day, the invitation was finally finished.

Li Ke threw away the brush and lay down on the ground, pretending to be dead.

Li Chengqian kicked him up, "Hurry up and figure out how to cook whale meat!"

"I'm a prince after all, so it's fine if you let me eat whale meat, and let me do it?"

Li Ke stood up reluctantly, saying that he would no longer be a cook for others.

Li Chengqian let out a 'sneering smile' and clenched his fists, "Don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

Li Ke was startled and jumped away quickly.

Although Li Chengqian's skills are not ranked high in the Liu family, it is more than enough to beat Li Ke.

Li Ke had a bitter face, "Brother Huang, we have at least forty or fifty people invited, how long will I be busy by myself?"

"The cooks of the East Palace are at your disposal!" Li Chengqian said a little irritably.

Li Ke was still a little reluctant.

In his opinion, except for the one from the Liu family, all the cooks in the world are useless.

At that time, it can only be a disservice.

But seeing Li Chengqian gearing up, he could only swallow the words on his lips.

The next day, all the princes of the Li family received an invitation letter jointly signed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Wu Li Ke.

The first one to accept the invitation was of course Li Xiaogong, the most trusted by Li Er and the most powerful king of Hejian County among the princes!

Hejian County Prince's Mansion!

Li Xiaogong took the invitation and read it over and over several times, feeling very fresh.

"These two boys, what kind of mystery are they trying to make?"

Last time when Li Chengqian withheld the que, they, the lords, were quite frightened.

He felt in his heart that Li Chengqian was definitely not just inviting them to dinner.

"Call Chongyi!"

Soon, his eldest son Li Chongyi walked in.

"Father!"

Li Xiaogong handed the invitation to him, "The crown prince and the king of Wu invited the kings, you can go on behalf of the father!"

Li Chongyi did not doubt that he had him, and was even a little happy.

It is naturally a great thing to be able to establish a relationship with the Crown Prince.

So, he happily went to prepare gifts, and waited a few days before going to the East Palace to attend the banquet.

Chapter 171: Li Chengqian, who is soft and hard, and Li Er, who is startled

Youzhou is rich in products, and the people live by the sea.

Relying on iron ore and seafood, Youzhou can be said to be one of the richest places in the entire Tang Dynasty, except Guanzhong.

Since getting the cast iron business, the Liu family has become the largest wealthy businessman in Youzhou.

Relying on the team left behind by Li Daliang, the former governor of Youzhou, and Chai Shao, the generalissimo, the Liu family can do everything without hindrance.

A large amount of whale meat traveled thousands of miles along the official road all the way south in just five days.

It would take at least three times as long to travel the same distance with other caravans.

Preparations for the banquet in the Eastern Palace have already begun.

Li Chengqian disliked the clumsy servants of the Eastern Palace, so he ran back to Liu's village and borrowed a batch of heads from Liu Bai.

What I have to admit is that the Liu family seems to be smarter than outsiders, whether they are the shop assistants or servants and maids.

Many people think that this is because of the good Feng Shui of the Liu Family Mansion.

Otherwise, why did Liu Bai, the young master of the Liu family, suddenly become a figure comparable to the bigwigs in the court in less than half a year?

Only those who have lived in the Liu family know that even the servants who carry water and sweep the floor in the Liu family have been trained.

East Palace!

Li Chengqian pulled Shen Wansan by the sleeve and dragged him from the gate all the way to Jingren Palace.
