I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

"Off-plan? What does that mean?"

Li Shimin asked doubtfully.

Li Shen often said some new words, and Li Shimin had long been accustomed to it.

Li Shen explained with a treacherous look on his face:

“Aye, the meaning of this pre-sale house is the house they are looking forward to.

Let them pay first, use their money to build the house, and they can move in when it is completed.

Pre-sale housing is good, you don’t have to pay for it yourself, and you can build the house.

The point is, we have collected the money and we have the final say on when to build it. Anyway, they have already paid and the money is already in our hands.

If the money is not enough, maybe we can ask them to pay a little, otherwise we won’t give them the house.”

"Don't you want to sign a contract? If you can't hand over the house when the contract comes, don't you need to pay compensation?"

Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Shen.

"What if it's not completed? Let them go to the government and sue. I'll just say I don't have the money.

I will naturally continue to build houses when I have money, and the government must protect me, otherwise I really won’t build it, and those people’s money will be paid in vain.

What's more, don't I have you, Aye, protecting me from above?

Until then, we can still...”

Li Shen didn't notice that Li Shimin's face was getting uglier and uglier, and he continued to talk.

Li Shimin suddenly jumped up, grabbed Li Shen's clothes, pulled him off the table, and threw him heavily onto the couch.

Before Li Shen could understand what was going on, Li Shimin started punching and kicking him.

"You bastard, this is not the house you were expecting, this is a fraudulent house.

You are such a heartless person, do you know how many of those people are low-level officials?

It takes them several years to save up this much money, and yet you are so obsessed with profit.

You are taking advantage of me living here to make dirty money. Have you lost your conscience?"

Li Shimin became more and more angry as the fight went on. Wang De tried to pull them apart but was kicked away.

"Today, I want to teach you a lesson and wake you up.

Otherwise, it may be these officials today and the common people tomorrow.

If it were the common people, they would have saved up their money for half their lives and been cheated by a bastard like you.

Wouldn't that mean the family would be destroyed? Would the people still be loyal to our Li family?

Then you will be a sinner for all eternity, and I will be cursed by the world along with you. How can I have the face to face my ancestors?

I will kill you, this black-hearted thing, today, so that you will never harm others again."

Li Shimin cursed and beat him at the same time.

Li Shen protected his vital parts, held his head, and begged for mercy loudly:

"Aye, I was wrong. I won't do it again. Aye, please don't hit me."

Li Shimin's attack was careful with the intensity of the blow. He did not hit the head or vital parts, otherwise, given his martial arts training, he would have been very strong.

It would only take a few hits to kill Li Shen.

In Li Shimin's view, what Li Shen did was against the will of heaven and harmony, and in serious cases it could bring disaster to his descendants.

Li Shen was a bit evil-minded, but Li Shimin didn't care, since he only harmed the aristocratic families.

But now this matter has become a little outrageous.

If this continues and Li Shen uses it on ordinary people, the consequences will be disastrous.

That's why Li Shimin was so angry and wanted to wake Li Shen up.

A good son is born under the stick, and a good student is born under a strict teacher.

After fighting for a long time, Li Shimin stopped panting, and Wang De considerately handed him a bowl of tea.

"Get off!!"

Li Shimin drank a bowl of tea and kicked Li Shen hard on the butt.

Li Shen felt pain all over his body. He got off the couch little by little and walked to the table and chairs while holding on to the table.

"Kneel there!!"

Li Shimin scolded.

Li Shen had no choice but to kneel down on the table.

In fact, Li Shen was just talking nonsense. He had no plan to get into real estate right now. He would only do it after the people became rich.

Otherwise, how much money can you make just by relying on those wealthy businessmen and nobles?

All the aristocratic families were concentrated around the city of Chang'an and the Corridor between the Two Capitals, that is, between the Western Capital Chang'an and the Eastern Capital Luoyang.

That place is the prime location.

Li Shen didn't expect that he would be beaten up for just a few nonsense words.

He speaks as if he is an unforgivable criminal who deserves to be killed by anyone.

"Father, I was wrong. I will definitely change my ways and become a new person in the future."

This is all Li Shen can think of now.

"Hmph, Li Shen, I can allow you to be arrogant because of my favor, but I cannot allow you to harm the world and violate the principles of justice. The people are the foundation of the country and the basis of the country.

Water can carry a boat or capsize it.

Do you remember telling me that as long as the people support my Li family, even if someone rebels, they will not succeed.

You must also remember this sentence and not do anything to persecute the people.

I warn you, if you really do this, don't blame me for confiscating your Ji Palace and taking out money to compensate those who have been defrauded by you.

Do you remember what I said?"

Li Shimin stood in front of Li Shen, looked at Li Shen, and his words were full of severity.

"Yes, yes, I will remember your teachings.

I will never have such evil thoughts again, I will do my job properly and be an honest person. "

Li Shen knelt there and nodded repeatedly. He had suffered a great disaster today.

"Yeah." Li Shimin nodded and sat down after hearing Li Shen's words.

"I know what you meant by the drama you played with the prince today.

You want people to know that you have broken off relations with the prince and have created a gap between them, so that you will have less trouble.

Those jealous people won't stare at you.

But there are pros and cons. In this way, those who have grudges against you will also look for opportunities to harm you.

Or if you deliberately stir up trouble in front of the prince, aren't you afraid that if this continues, the prince will become wary of you?"

"Replying to Aye, isn't Aye still here? Aye is in his prime, even if my eldest brother succeeds to the throne, Aye will still be the emperor emeritus.

I believe that Aye will protect me when the time comes."

"Huh, you only know how to say nice things. Don't I understand your little thoughts?

Forget it, you are already an adult. Since you and the prince have made plans, I will just watch from the side.

But don't go too far, or I'll clean up the mess for you."

Li Shimin snorted. His children and grandchildren would have their own blessings and he was too lazy to care.

He is in good health now, so just let them do whatever they want.

"Don't worry, I just want to spend a few days in peace and quiet, I don't have any plans.

Or maybe Aye can let me go back to my fiefdom for a few years and hide away for a while."

Li Shen looked at Li Shimin expectantly.

"Just give up on this idea. The court cannot do without you, Your Highness Prince Ji."

Li Shimin's face showed that you were daydreaming.

"By the way, I came to you today to ask you something else."

Li Shimin changed the subject.

"Just as Aye ordered."

"I want to renovate the Luoyang Palace, which requires millions of coins. The copper coins in the treasury are insufficient, and the gold cannot be seen in public.

How can we turn the gold into copper coins without arousing suspicion?"

(Today is my birthday. Is there anyone who has the same birthday as me? I feel lonely.)
