The Wife I Picked Up Turned out to Be a Relic of the Tang Dynasty

"Brother Lin, your wife is pregnant, how can you drink, what if you get drunk!"

"Have a few drinks, but I won't get drunk." Lin Ye said, but he murmured inwardly,

'If I let you stand here again, my daughter-in-law will be frightened by your wretched middle-aged uncle. '

At this time, Li Qingshuang got up and said, "I'll go and warm up the wine for you."

"No, no!" Li Er immediately stopped, "You are pregnant, how can you work so hard, and things like cooking wine, just let the next person do it."

"Brother Li really knows how to joke," Lin Ye said with a smile, "I don't have any servants in my family."

"Then it should be - you, the husband, do it for you!" Li Er immediately pointed the finger at Lin Ye.

"Okay, let me cook the wine!" Lin Ye agreed, pulling Li Er out.

Then he closed the door and let Li Qingshuang stay in the room quietly for a while. She was surrounded by a group of people for most of the day. She was probably quite tired, so she was left alone to rest for a while.

But after leaving the yard, Lin Ye didn't go to cook wine. He took Li Er's hand and sat down at the stone table, instead of saying,

"Today I bought fine wine from the Western Regions. The wine from the Western Regions should not be boiled, so let's just drink it like this."

But Li Er's mind was still completely on Li Qingshuang in the room, he said,

"Brother Lin, I think you don't even have a servant, how can your wife feel at ease raising the baby." Li Er said,

"It's better than this. I have a house in the city, and the servants and housekeepers are all available. Why don't you go there with your wife to raise the baby until the child is born, and I will pay all the expenses in the house."

"How can this work!" Lin Ye touched his chin, "How can I bother you."

"Don't bother, I don't usually live there, you can live in it even if it's your home!" Li Er said.

"It's not right, it's not right!" Lin Ye politely declined, "I won't receive any reward without merit, I can't accept your favor for no reason."

"We are both friends and good brothers, so why be so out of touch!" Li Er said.

"But I can't take advantage of you in vain, Brother Lin, I have it!" Lin Ye declined again.

"No, it's not for nothing!" Li Er said, "Brother Lin, do you remember the advice you gave me to 'drive on the right'?"

"My good brother who is the censor, after listening to your suggestion, immediately gave the emperor a memorial. After the emperor read the memorial, Da Yue immediately issued new regulations and rewarded my brother."

"So, my brother relies on your words, Brother Lin, to get the emperor's appreciation."

"This time, I will naturally give back to you for my brother!"

Lin Ye smiled and said, "Oh, that's your 'friend out of nothing' brother?"

"What is a friend from nothing?" Li Er was startled.

"Nothing, nothing!" Lin Ye smiled, but suddenly, an idea came to his mind,

If this Li Si is really wealthy and powerful, why not use his financial resources.

Lin Ye knew in his heart that his foundation was relatively weak now. Without anyone's help, it would take a long time to accumulate the original capital by his own ability.

Moreover, the killer's business is not always alive, it can only be regarded as a sideline to make quick money,

So, he had to have a "venture capitalist" who would invest a lot of money in him.

Li Si seems to be a ready-made investor, and he seems to have a wealth of wealth and is easy to deceive.

"Brother Li, if you really want to help me, you might as well start a business with me." Lin Ye said, "I have a business that will definitely make a lot of money."

Li Er shook his head with a smile on his face,

How could he, Li Er, be interested in doing business?

Doing business is essentially nothing more than money passing from one person's pocket into another's pocket.

But he doesn't care about who the money is in his pocket, Li Er doesn't care, after all, the entire Tang Dynasty is his Li Er's family business.

"Brother Li, are you not interested?" Lin Ye said.

"Of course I'm interested. I'm a businessman after all, how can I not be interested in a profitable business!" Li Er could only say this in order to match his current status,

"However, Brother Lin, what kind of business are you doing? I'm all ears. I hope you won't disappoint me."*

Chapter 040 Si Ye gambling building

Lin Ye lowered his voice and said, "The casino!"

Li Er smiled, "The casino is nothing new. It's close to a few streets in the West City, but you can see a casino every [-] steps."

"What about the brothel!"

"The brothel can be seen everywhere. Whether it is literati, nobles or nobles, they all like to drink flowers and wine in the brothel. There are more guests, and naturally there will be more brothels." Li Er said again.

I have to say that Li Er was a little disappointed. He thought he could hear a unique business from Lin Ye's mouth.

Now, the huge Chang'an City, casinos and brothels tend to be saturated. At this time, operating these two businesses will not be able to make much profit.

"What if there is a casino and a brothel!" Lin Ye said with a smile.

"The casino plus the brothel, what do you say?" Li Er suddenly became a little interested.

"Think about it, Brother Li, if there is such a place, you can spend a lot of money and gamble as much as you like, and at the same time you can be accompanied by beautiful women, hugging from left to right,"

"If you are tired of gambling, you can go to the side to watch the dance and praise. If you are hungry, there will be food available. If you are sleepy, there is a room upstairs for sleeping."

"After eating and sleeping, you can get up and continue to gamble in the dark!"

"Then for those senior gamblers, we can also set up a VIP area for them, with the best beauties to accompany them to gamble, all supplies are of the highest level, and service is supreme."

"Such a paradise on earth, whoever changes it will linger forever!"

Hearing Lin Ye tell so vividly, Li Er's eyes lit up immediately. If there is such a sluggish and indulgent place in the world, he also wants to give it a try.

"My business is a combination of casinos, brothels and restaurants. I call it a 'gambling building'!"

Lin Ye continued to fool Li Erdao,

"If brother Li, you are willing to invest money, then the signboard of this gambling building will be written between you and me, and titled 'Si Ye gambling building',"

"Brother Li, I put your 'si' in front of mine. It's very kind."

"It sounds like it's really a business that can amaze the entire Chang'an City." Li Er showed interest,

"But if you follow your big idea, Brother Lin, you have to invest a lot of money!"

"High investment and high return!" Lin Ye replied,

"Moreover, in our future casino buildings, we can continue to open branches, open the first one, and after we gain experience, we can open three more in a row in Chang'an City!"

Lin Ye continued to draw a big cake road for Li Er,

"In the future, in more than [-] states across the country, we can open branch buildings one after another, and the signboard of Si Ye's gambling building will be famous all over the world."

"No, no, you can open it in Chang'an City first!" Li Er said with reservations.

Now this world is his Li Tang's world. The noble children in Chang'an City are dull, and Antu is enjoying himself. He can still turn one eye and close the other.

But if the whole world, more than [-] states in ten provinces, is prevalent in malaise and gambling, then wouldn't his Great Tang foundation be in jeopardy.

"Yes, yes, I'm a little too ambitious, so let's open a shop in Chang'an City first, and have a look at it," Lin Ye said with restraint.

"Brother Li, are you interested in this business?"

"Let me think for a while!" Li Er said.

Although Lin Ye's pie is very attractive, he is a principled person, and he doesn't want to open a casino in private for his own personal gain.

Besides, he Li Er is not short of money.

The treasury is full, and he has his own small treasury and private money.

Seeing Li Er hesitated, Lin Ye seemed to be apprehensive, for fear that he would not be able to deceive Li Er, a "venture investor"—

No, the businessman's business, how can it be considered a lie!

"Brother Li, do you think that the business of casinos and brothels is disgraceful?" Lin Ye said again,

"But you know that if you don't earn this money, it will fall into someone else's pocket,"

"In the huge Chang'an City, [-]% of the casino business is run by the Taiyuan Wang family, and nearly [-]% of the brothel business belongs to the Fan Yang Lu family."

"These two noble clans took up the bulk of the casinos and brothels, and the money went into their pockets. Can't we take a piece of the pie!"

Lin Ye settled accounts for Li Er, of course, these data sources are only [-]% true, [-]% false, and [-]% rely on nonsense.

However, Lin Ye's remarks hit Li Er's point.

Li Er has always been taboo against these great nobility. The power of these great nobility has penetrated into all walks of life among the people. Among them, there are five surnames and seven hope.

The growth of the five surnames and the seven Wangs even affected Li Er's ruling power. In some states, due to the constraints of these great gentry, there were even situations where the imperial decree could not be reached.

Therefore, Li Er had long thought about weakening the power of these great nobles, but he didn't know how to do it for a while, and he was afraid that it would cause a civil uprising, so he didn't dare to easily shake their power.

As Lin Ye said, if this move can grab food from the Fan Yang Lu family and Taiyuan Wang family, it can also be regarded as a slight weakening of the financial resources of the two families, why not do it?

Chapter 041 Look at the mole fortune-telling! (new book for collection)

Thinking that by subsidizing Lin Ye, the power of the Fanyang Lu family and Taiyuan Wang family in Chang'an City could be weakened,

Immediately, Li Er changed his decision.

"Okay, I can invest in your business!" Li Er said.

"Enough is refreshing!"

Lin Ye immediately slapped the stone table, then picked up a glass of wine on the table,

"Brother Li, I'll give you a toast!"

After the two toasted each other, Lin Ye asked again, "Brother Li, how much do you plan to invest in the initial stage?"

Li Er didn't even think about it, raised a finger and said, "One thousand gold!"
