I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 176

As far as Li Yu knows, since the nobles from the Six Kingdoms moved to Xianyang, Yingzheng first took over his food towns and fiefdoms, and then dismissed his subordinates, servants and servants.

As a result, the nobles from the Six Kingdoms cut off their source of income and their control over the local area.

But it cannot be allowed to fend for itself, or even starve to death.

Therefore, Yingzheng not only did not clear his family property, but instead built a house for him and gave him living allowances.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these actions are simply the actions of a benevolent monarch.

But in the eyes of the old nobles, Yingzheng's mixing them with commoners and poor people is the greatest insult to them.

Gradually, the old nobles also formed a kind of atmosphere.

"I want to eat better, dress better, and use better than ordinary people."

And this kind of ethos also became a breakthrough for Li Yu against the old nobles.

Don't you want to eat better, dress better, and use better than ordinary people?

can.

I asked people to distribute some rare tea cakes and tea sets to the civilians in the western suburbs of the city, and let them drink tea every day in front of you.

And Li Yu did exactly that, not only that, Li Yu also asked Zhang Deli to hire people to spread the word around the western suburbs.

"The tea leaves are exclusively provided by the first emperor Yingzheng and the ministers of the Qin Dynasty. They are picked from the barbarian lands full of poisonous miasma. They are more precious than the Zhenlu wine from Shiweiju."

Such low-end provocative methods are easy to be seen through, but for the old aristocrats who care about face, they can get twice the result with half the effort.

Listening to Zhang Deli's account of what happened in the past two days, Li Yu couldn't help but smile.

"These big silly hats!"

"Master Hou, there are already old nobles who are looking for tea-drinking commoners to inquire about the origin of the tea. What should I do with the younger ones?"

Zhang Deli was particularly excited because he knew that Li Yu had a comprehensive plan.

But Li Yu was going to be much calmer, so he said: "No hurry, wait for Liang Yongqing to pay the 73 old nobles first, and see how much property they have on them. It's the civilians..."

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, the little ones from the common people have also explained it, and let them all say that they were rewarded by the first emperor because they planted the land well this year and the harvest was good."

Hearing that Zhang Deli used Ying Zheng as a shield, Li Yu was immediately happy, and then said: "It's powerful, how can the name of Shihuang be used indiscriminately."

"What Master Hou has taught me is that the little one will never dare to use Shi Huang indiscriminately..."

Zhang Deli thought that Li Yu would blame him, but Li Yu didn't blame him at all, instead he taught by example: "We are also doing our best for His Majesty, and it is good to know how to use His Majesty's prestige, but you can't tell the common people like that.

You should say that after His Majesty the First Emperor drank the water brewed in this tea, he felt that the tea was refreshing and refreshed. "

……

Although it can't be said to be a lie, Li Yu's words always made Zhang Deli feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell for a while.

"What Hou Ye said is that the young one will follow Hou Ye's instructions and let those hired civilians continue to preach."

Li Yu nodded, so he didn't want to delay too much on this matter, so he asked: "Can the restaurant in the west of the city be settled?"

Hearing Li Yu's question about the restaurant, Zhang Deli's face changed slightly, so he didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully: "Reporting to Lord Hou, I went to those restaurants in the west of the city respectively, but the negotiation failed..."

When Zhang Deli said this, Li Yu had already seen the problem from his expression.

But Li Yu didn't mean to blame, instead he said with a smile: "Did the manager or shopkeeper of the restaurant explain the reason?"

Zhang Deli thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that the housekeeper of the Xiangguo Mansion booked a few restaurants first."

"After all, it's the west of the city, and Xiangguo's Mansion is not far away. It's only normal for you to meet Li Si's servant." Seeing Zhang Deli's sad face, Li Yu immediately explained.

"But... I feel that the Xiangguo Mansion is making trouble on purpose." Zhang Deli scratched his head and said angrily.

Because in Zhang Deli's view, Li Yu's current status is not comparable to that of Li Si, even worse than that.

Li Yu didn't think about it so much, and then said: "Maybe it's just a coincidence, you go down first."

Zhang Deli retreated immediately after hearing the words.

Only Li Yu was left standing there, full of doubts.

Who did Li Si invite for a banquet, and actually needed to book three restaurants...

Moreover, why did Li Si choose a place like a restaurant to entertain guests?

Could it be that the cooks in his Xiangguo Mansion are not as good as those in the restaurant?
It shouldn't be...

You must know that the restaurants in the entire Xianyang City, if you don't count the Shiweiju, which came from behind, then the three restaurants in the west of the city are the strongest and the taste is relatively the best.

And Li Yu didn't use his own food, but chose these three restaurants just to avoid suspicion.

To prevent the old nobles from associating too much tea with Li Yu, which will affect the tea business that is about to make money.

Fortunately, Li Si took the lead and forced Li Yu to use his Shiweiju as a tea sales point.

It's no wonder that Zhang Deli blamed this on Li Si, because it was such a coincidence.

After thinking about it, Li Yu only thought of one possibility, but he was a little uncertain about the guess in his mind.

If true...

Then Li Si thought he had gone astray again.

Thinking of this, Li Yu shook his head helplessly, and then said, "Zilong, follow me to the west of the city."

After hearing the words, little transparent Zhao Yun followed Li Yu silently.

Then Li Yu looked back at Zhao Yu, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "I didn't pay attention to this one, Zilong is already taller than me!"

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but he was a little at a loss.

Li Yu smiled, and then set off towards the west of the city.

Xianyang City is divided into four areas: East, South, West, and North. Because there is no outer wall, Xianyang City can be expanded and extended indefinitely.

As for Li Sixin's mansion and the three restaurants, they are all located at the west entrance of the city, only tens of miles away from the suburbs.

And here at the west entrance of the city, many ordinary-dressed but aristocratic people came one after another, and these people stepped into three relatively luxurious restaurants one after another.

No need to guess, Li Yu can also see the identities of these people.

And because of this moment, the doubts in my heart cleared up.

original……

Li Si was really entertaining the old nobles.

It was also at this moment that Li Yu finally understood why Li Si didn't hold a banquet in Xiangguo's mansion.

Although the old aristocrats were integrated into Xianyang, they did not sincerely surrender after all.

Now the old aristocrats are having a quarrel with Taiwei Li Yu, if Li Si entertains the old aristocrats in Xiangguo's mansion, it will be tantamount to fighting against Ying Zheng.

After all, the old aristocracy has long been deeply ingrained in Ying Zheng's heart, and he can't get rid of it.

At this time, even Li Si didn't dare to twitch Yingzheng's beard easily.

Of course, Li Yu also understood why Li Si knew that Ying Zheng couldn't tolerate the old aristocrats, and Li Si still did this.

Without him, I just want to find a countermeasure to check and balance Li Yu.
