Datang Nongwang

Chapter 38 I will go to your house for dinner

In fact, all the officials present basically knew that Wei Zheng had robbed Li Chongyuan of his belongings.

However, they would not use this matter to attack Wei Zheng.

After all, Wei Zheng was an important minister that Li Shimin liked very much, and they had also heard that Wei Zheng paid a hundred guan for this matter.

However, in the main hall at this time, there are still many people discussing in low voices.

Although the sound was small, but mixed together, the buzzing sound almost became a vegetable market.

"Li Chongyuan, don't discuss this matter." The sage sitting on the throne stopped immediately when he saw Li Chongyuan mentioning this matter.

Seeing that Li Shimin had spoken, all the officials quickly shut up.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Chongyuan quickly saluted after hearing the sound.

Li Shimin has already spoken, how dare he mention it again.

However, as long as Wei Zheng dares to criticize him again, Li Chongyuan will inevitably bring up a lot of things.

At this time, Wei Zheng returned to his position, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking, which made Li Chongyuan very proud.

For such a small person like myself, to be able to subdue this Tang country's strongest troll, I feel very happy.

But just when Li Chongyuan was in a good mood, Zhong Deming once again attacked Li Chongyuan, "Mr. Li County, even if you can argue with your sharp mouth about taxation and disturbing the people, but fighting with the people will benefit you." But it can no longer be avoided.”

Zhong Deming began to feel a little jealous of Li Chongyuan.

But no matter how fearful he was, he would magnify Li Chongyuan's affairs.

Moreover, it is necessary to suppress Li Chongyuan so much that he cannot hold his head up. This is the task entrusted to him by the crown prince Li Chengqian.

If the more than 2000 yuan Li Chongyuan earned yesterday can be obtained, that is what the crown prince wants most.

As long as Li Chongyuan can blow up the more than 2000 pennies, Li Chongyuan will fall directly from the cloud of happiness to the bottom of disappointment.

If the family had no money, then life would probably start to be difficult.

In this way, the prince must be overjoyed.

"Magistrate Zhong, do you know what it means to compete with the people for profit? May I ask Magistrate Zhong, who did I, Li Chongyuan, fight with? Did I fight with you? The little bear drum I made is the only one in the world, Chang'an No grocery store in the city has this item for sale, so may I ask, who am I competing with for profit?" Li Chongyuan saw Zhong Deming jumping out again, wishing to wring this person's head off and use it as a chamber pot.

"Li Xiannan, even if no one sells this thing in Chang'an City, it is inevitable that someone will make it, and the price of the thing you sell is extremely high, the price is always the same, so you can buy back a pile of wood and add a small piece of wood. Niu Pi, you are a rare commodity to live in, and you should be punished." Zhong Deming will never let Li Chongyuan go.

He even said what he wanted to punish, this is already a duel with Li Chongyuan to the end.

Losing two shops in a row, how could he let Li Chongyuan go.

As long as the court is over today, he can imagine that Cheng Yaojin will definitely order people to go in and suppress his two shops.

As long as Zhong Deming makes a move, he will definitely be criticized and charged with fraud and deceit. In the end, he, the Wannian county magistrate, will probably have to change hands.

"Oh? It seems that you, County Magistrate Zhong, are determined to force me to death? Competing for the interests of the people, all of you present, do you think there are not many shops without shops? I won't talk about this matter."

"But you said that the price I sell is too high, so I would like to ask why the rice paper in Luoyang can be sold for a dollar and three pennies? Could it be that I, a little bear, can't be sold for a penny if I play drums? My wood is carefully crafted, It takes time and effort, and the cowhide is still the best cowhide, so why is it not worth the usual money?"

Li Chongyuan stared at Zhong Deming bitterly, bringing in the matter of Luoyang Zhigui.

"Cough cough..."

Just as Li Chongyuan finished speaking, Li Shimin coughed a few times.

Although, the rice paper produced in Luoyang is really not cheap.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, one-knife Luoyang paper was sold for more than five guan. Today, even in the Tang Dynasty, the supply is still in short supply, and the price is also more than three guan.

Following Li Shimin's dry cough, Li Chongyuan finally came to his senses.

Most of Luoyang's paper is still used by the royal family, and only [-]% to [-]% flow to the common people.

Li Chongyuan's words were directed at the royal family.

"You Mr. Li County are really eloquent. I, Zhong, really misunderstood. Even if you sell your things for a penny or five pennies, you still can't hide from competing with the people for profit. But at this time, you are tolerant. You have to say it." Seeing Li Chongyuan tearing out the Luoyang paper, Zhong Deming was delighted, but he heard the Holy Master cough again, so he couldn't bring himself to make trouble by talking about this topic.

Zhong Deming can be the county magistrate of Wannian County, so he naturally knows the taboos in the officialdom.

"Oh, it's really hard for the poor to earn some money. I'm going to drink the northwest wind. If you don't want to find a way to earn some money to live, will you, Zhong Deming, support me? Or should I go to your house to eat for a year? But it's just you The family is so stingy, I guess they can't raise any positive people." Li Chongyuan saw that Zhong Deming was still clinging to the matter of competing with the people, so he felt helpless, so he had to start playing tricks.

"Li Xiannan, you are presumptuous." Seeing Li Chongyuan calling him by his name, Zhong Deming pointed out that he was a sinister person, and he was playing tricks, so Zhong Deming shouted angrily.

According to seniority, Zhong Deming is of the same generation as Li Chongyuan and his father Li Gui.

Calling him by his first name is already a kind of disrespect. In this era, and being above the court, that is really too much.

"It's the same if you want to be presumptuous or not. My family has no money. If you insist on holding on to my pettiness, then I will bring the people from the family to your house for dinner tomorrow." Li Chongyuan didn't care. It's a matter of name.

You are on the opposite side, you don't save face for me, you want me to save face for you, you treat you as my father.

Of course, for Li Chongyuan to be so aggressive, he was calling Li Shimin wrong.

If it wasn't for one of his decrees, and he was fined five hundred guan, how could his family be poor enough to do this or that.

However, even if Li Shimin didn't have that decree, Li Chongyuan still had to think of ways to earn money so that he could buy a big house and live like a second master.

For example, the mansion bought hundreds of servants.

Buy a hundred more maids, two left and right rub shoulders, two bottom ones beat their legs, and a few more feeds, then this carefree life, Li Chongyuan thinks about it.

As soon as Li Chongyuan's words fell, Wei Zheng, who was still thinking about something with his head down, really wanted to laugh three times.

In the past, Li Chongyuan brought all the servants of the mansion to the door of his mansion just as he said, and even let go of his bold words that he would eat and live in his mansion.

Now, these words came out of Li Chongyuan's mouth again.

Wei Zheng could have imagined that, based on Li Chongyuan's current behavior, this matter might really happen.

"You!!! A child cannot be taught." Zhong Deming was furious at Li Chongyuan's arrogant behavior.

Moreover, he knew that some time ago, for a set of tables and chairs, Li Chongyuan really brought everyone in the mansion to the door, and even said that he would not pay for the tables and chairs, so he lived and ate at Wei Zheng's mansion for a month.

At this time, he was really afraid that Li Chongyuan would do something like this to him. If he really became like this, Zhong Deming's reputation in Chang'an City would probably fall into the stinky ditch.
