The rise of the prince

Chapter 32 Wei Chaoren

"Although not letting people go upstairs for two days can increase the sense of mystery, it's because the reputation is not enough. I guess there will be people who you can't stop in two days." Li Ye said to Yan Kun, Qiu'er He Yue'er followed behind him, listening quietly.

It was dusk at this time, they were in the back hall of Tingyu Tower, and Degong and her granddaughter had already left.

"When the time comes, you will tell them what I said."

Yan Kun nodded seriously, and then listened seriously.

"The old servant who the son ordered will definitely do it." After listening, Yan Kun said with a long bow.

Li Ye nodded: "If something happens and you can't deal with it, you can come to me. I'm usually in the Wangfu or Tingyu Tower. If you can't find me, I will listen to Qiuer." Li Ye said, pulling Qiu'er behind him forward. .

Yan Kun froze for a moment, hesitated for a while: "My lord, this."

Li Ye raised his hand to interrupt him: "I know what you want to say. After all, Qiu'er is young and only a woman. It's normal for you to behave like this. But just remember, if you can't trust Qiu'er, you can trust me , believe in my choice, believe in my vision, understand."

Yan Kun was silent for a while, then nodded solemnly and said: "Understood my son, if there is such a situation, we will listen to Miss Qiu'er."

Li Ye patted Yan Kun's shoulder with a smile, obviously feeling that Qiu'er's hand was clenched even tighter, he turned over his wrist, and gently stroked the back of her hand to make her relax.

"From now on, every guest who comes to Wangjiang Tower will be offered free fragrant tea, and the words should be beautiful, and try to be as elegant as possible." Li Ye continued to explain.

"But my son, this fragrant tea is not cheap." Yan Kun said in pain.

Of course Li Ye knows that it is not cheap. This fragrant tea is different from the teas of later generations. The crushed tea leaves are only one of the ingredients. In it, various spices such as salt, pepper, star anise, etc. are added, and then boiled. The cost is very high. He can't drink it by himself, but the literati of this era are fine with it.

"This is necessary. We must raise the threshold, otherwise there will be chaos in the future if the building can't accommodate so many people. The price of all the dishes in the restaurant will also increase, and it will increase by half every five days until it rises by half." Li Ye Rubbing his hands together, he said.

"Your Majesty, will the guests be dissatisfied with this?" Yan Kun was a little worried.

"Don't worry, some things are instincts. Just like moths will jump at the fire when they see it. The reason why you provide free fragrant tea is because people also have many instinctive behaviors. They will first see what they can take advantage of, and then If you think about gains and losses again, most people will not be able to change this order of consideration." Li Ye vowed.

It is also true that there will be so many various discounts, coupons, etc. in the future. In fact, in most cases, people do not take advantage of these promotions and are already tired of these promotions.But because of the existence of this order of consideration, no matter how much you hate or despise you at the beginning, most people will instinctively step into those circles in the end.

This is an instinct, the instinct of human beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages as animals.

Guests will first think of free fragrant tea, and then few people will think about the price of the dishes.Yan Kun seemed to understand but half understood, but thinking that Shizi always predicts things like a god, he quickly agreed.

After dealing with the matter and walking out of Tingyu Building, Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief. It was still very cold, and he could almost resume his idle life before. The economic crisis in the palace has been mostly resolved now, and then he can go about his life in peace and ease as before. , until four years later when the capital was entrusted outside the capital, and then lived a chic life.

He has already made up his mind and tried to find a way to avoid Wang Lianshan's marriage. At that time, he will not be involved in government affairs, and if he stays away from the capital, no one will know about Li Xingzhou from now on, and he will not be criticized by others, and he will not be able to move an inch.Build a mansion in another place, and then marry Qiu'er and Yue'er. They were born as slaves, but Li Ye doesn't care, and they can be regarded as giving the two poor girls an identity.

After that, help the local people, do more good deeds, and live a safe and stable life.

He Zhao rubbed his swollen temples. The end of the new year was approaching, and many backlogs of official documents in Kaiyuan Mansion had to be dealt with before the end of the year.It was already noisy and troublesome, but at this time, the court was also arguing about how to deal with Wei Chaoren's matter.

When the Liao people went south during the autumn harvest, Wei Chaoren, the governor of the Guanbei Festival, led more than [-] Guanbei troops to the north according to the order, but was defeated by the Liao people. Twelve cities including Xinzhou City, Mozhou City, Shizihe County, and Sha County were destroyed. He was brutally slaughtered by the Liao people, and his life was devastated.

The most unacceptable thing is that according to the forward battle report at the time, there were less than [-] Liao soldiers.It is precisely because of this that His Majesty Long Yan was furious, and removed Wei Chao Renguan North Jiedu envoy, escorted to Beijing.

The ministers of the DPRK and China were also arguing about how to deal with Wei Chaoren.

Some people advocated killing Wei Chaoren, while others advocated not to kill him. These days, the court has been arguing about this matter every morning.Those who advocate killing are headed by Shen Zhizheng Shi Yu Chengan, who believe that the twelve cities in the north were destroyed, tens of thousands of people were massacred, and the great scene was disgraced. Both the country and the people should be killed as an example.

Those who advocate not killing are headed by the privy envoy, General Zhong Daoyu, who believes that Guanbei is the front line of the war with the Liao people.

In the past few days, the two sides have been arguing in the court hall, and His Majesty is also in a dilemma, but the matter will definitely be settled before the year, because the people guarding the north of the pass cannot be vacant for a long time, and it is okay to be cold in the north. The Liao people in Kaichun might come to attack again, and someone must sit in the north by then.

Both sides wanted to win over He Zhao, but he didn't stand on either side. Many people thought he was playing tricks and was up for grabs. In fact, it was because he knew he didn't know much about military affairs, so he couldn't make such a hasty decision.

Moreover, Wei Chaoren is the governor of Guanbei, a second-rank official in the imperial court, so it is not easy to conclude.

Just as he was wandering in his thoughts, the house manager knocked on the door and came in.

"Master, Miss still won't eat anything from Ken."

He Zhao's head got bigger, and he slapped the table angrily: "Don't eat! What else does she want! On the contrary, I told her not to provoke that Li Xingzhou, but she just didn't listen, and the scar was healed and forgot the pain !"

He Zhao walked out while talking: "As a result, she went to find Li Xingzhou privately a few days ago, but I just grounded her at home. Do you think I was wrong about this?"

"Of course the master is right." The manager quickly followed and answered quickly.

"Hmph, isn't it just grounding? She has nothing to do, and she thinks she hasn't caused enough trouble. This time, as a father, I must reprimand her!" He Zhao said angrily.

The manager followed suit and nodded: "That's natural, that's natural"

"Hey, you wait outside the courtyard, I will enter by myself." Walking to the gate of the small courtyard, He Zhao swung his sleeves and said solemnly.The manager waited respectfully outside the courtyard, and he walked in with his head held high, "I'm going to discipline this ignorant girl right now!"

The manager stood outside the courtyard and shook his head. He didn't know how many times he had seen this situation.
