Chapter 54 I always feel like something is wrong
Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen and felt very satisfied.
He listened carefully to Zhao Chen's words just now and found that Zhao Chen was so familiar with the matter of peppers and ice cubes, and what he said was very clear and logical.
Although this is not dealing with political affairs, with such a clear thinking, if Zhao Chen really handles political affairs in the future, it will naturally be a breeze.
I am really satisfied with this boy!
Li Shimin thought to himself.
"Zhao Chen, the income from ice production is still the same. How about I give you 50%?" Li Shimin thought for a moment and said to Zhao Chen.
"Fifty percent is too much, let's say 20%. I don't care about anything, I'm just paid. Give more to the people below. It's not easy for them either. They earn hard-earned money." Zhao Chen waved his hand and said.
Wei Zheng looked at Zhao Chen in surprise, somewhat unbelievable.
If this ice-making business becomes popular, the amount of money that can be recovered will be astronomical.
Fifty percent is enough for Zhao Chen to eat and drink for a lifetime, plus the generations after him will have no worries.
But he actually refused?
It is really unbelievable that a young man, faced with the huge wealth that can be obtained at any time, actually rejected it outright.
He also asked His Majesty the Emperor to give more money to the people below.
If this Zhao Chen becomes the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty in the future, he will definitely be a famous king through the ages...
No, what am I thinking?
Wei Zheng secretly laughed at himself for not thinking about these things.
Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen, and his heart surged.
Zhao Chen gave up 30% of the profit, asking him to give more to the people below.
This boy is so kind-hearted, he will definitely be a wise master in the future.
Li Shimin became more and more determined to care about Zhao Chen.
"Then I'll thank them for you." Li Shimin stood up and said with Zhao Chen holding hands.
Wei Zheng's face twitched.
Isn't this a bit too much, the emperor saluting a young man?
"Old Li Tou, what you said is obvious. You are the only good friend I have in Chang'an City. If we have money, let's make money together." Zhao Chen waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Yes, I and you, Zhao Chen, have been lifelong friends." Li Shimin looked a little excited.
Li Shimin suddenly thought that Zhao Chen had told him that the emperor was just a lonely man.
He, Li Shimin, has ruled the world for nine years. How many people can talk to him well?
Friends, for Li Shimin, it is really too extravagant.
Everyone in Wei Zheng was stunned.
I secretly wondered if I should find an imperial doctor to show His Majesty the Emperor when I went back. Why did I talk nonsense today?
"Then we have an agreement." Zhao Chen nodded and smiled.
"By the way, Lao Li, where do you live? Don't let me find you when I have business." Zhao Chen suddenly asked.
He realized that he still didn't know where Old Li Tou lived.
Just like this time, I waited for him for a long time before Lao Li came over.
Since the two are friends, he should at least know where Old Li's home is!
Also, Mrs. Li is so kind to me, but I have never visited her even once.
This is always rude.
"My family lives in the north of Chang'an City. Do you want to visit?" Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen and said with a smile.
At this moment, Li Shimin felt a little nervous.
If Zhao Chen really wants to go with him, won't he discover his identity?
Zhao Chen only agreed to be friends with him if he knew that he had actually been lying to him.
He, Li Shimin, was not a Shu businessman at all, but a sage of the Tang Dynasty.
Mrs. Li is not an ordinary person, but the Empress of the Tang Dynasty.
With Zhao Chen's temperament, how could he not be annoyed?
It is very possible to even stop interacting with them.
Li Shimin was so nervous that his heart was about to jump into his throat.
"North?" Zhao Chen frowned.
The imperial city is located in the north, and the surrounding cities and towns are the gathering places for nobles and wealthy merchants of the Tang Dynasty.
The most powerful and wealthy people in the entire Tang Dynasty were probably concentrated in that area.
As expected, this old Li Tou
He is a rich man.
Zhao Chen thought to himself.
But this north side is a bit far away from him, and Zhao Chen doesn't want to trouble others to pick him up.
"It's better not to go there. I heard that even a brick can hit a high-ranking official such as a censor. It's more comfortable here." Zhao Chen waved his hand, still not wanting to go to Lao Li Tou's house to take a look.
But in my heart, I was thinking that I would visit Mrs. Li when I feel better.
"If you happen to go there, you can come to a certain house for tea." Li Shimin said with a smile, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He thought to himself that he could no longer talk nonsense in front of Zhao Chen.
…
"Old Wei, is that boy Zhao Chen still in your eyes?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and said proudly.
Zhao Chen gathered the plates and took them to the yard for cleaning.
Li Shimin took this opportunity to talk to Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng nodded.
Not only did Zhao Chen catch his eye, but he really wanted to snatch it back and use it as a treasure, right?
Such talents were buried in Pingkangfang, and Wei Zheng felt sorry for Zhao Chen.
But he also couldn't figure out why His Majesty the Emperor didn't bring Zhao Chen to court.
With Zhao Chen's ability, he will definitely shine in the court.
"This boy is indifferent by nature. I can't bear to let him fall into the quagmire. I'm very satisfied with this." Li Shimin said softly.
In fact, Li Shimin was thinking, if his identity was exposed at this time, would Zhao Chen come out without holding the knife?
More importantly, now is not a good time to reveal Zhao Chen's identity.
"I don't know what kind of person a guy who can give birth to such an outstanding child like Zhao Chen will be!" Li Shimin suddenly sighed, looking at Wei Zheng with eyes full of pride.
Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin strangely, feeling that His Majesty's words were very strange.
It always sounds like something is wrong.
But for a while, Wei Zheng couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Just vaguely, Wei Zheng
I feel that His Majesty the Emperor seems to be boasting.
But that’s not right, this Zhao Chen is definitely not His Majesty’s child!
Wei Zheng was full of doubts.
Seeing Wei Zheng looking at him strangely, Li Shimin was secretly proud.
The thought in your mind is that you, Old Wei, are trying to break your brain, but you can’t imagine that I was just bragging about myself!
Hehe, Zhao Chen is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and my biological son!
"Old Li Tou, I almost forgot to tell you just now." Zhao Chen came over from the backyard and said to Li Shimin.
"What's the matter?" Li Shimin raised his head and asked with a smile.
"When you go back, sell all the ice cubes you have at home."
"It doesn't have to be a low price, just the usual price."
"This can also make you a small profit." Zhao Chen sat down and said to the two of them.
"Why?" Wei Zheng asked curiously.
"Why?" Zhao Chen didn't react for a while.
"Why are we selling ice cubes? It's a way to escape the heat. We..."
"Old Li Tou, you'd better fire your butler tomorrow. I think his head is a little hard to turn around. If you do business, you will lose money sooner or later." Zhao Chen glanced at Wei Zheng and said lightly.
"certain……"
"Haha, Zhao Chen, you are right, this old Wei is just a stubborn donkey, and his head turns very slowly." Li Shimin was happy, Zhao Chen was on his side.
After quarreling with this old Wei, Li Shimin felt relieved.
Whoever makes him slap his face every time he sees him in the court.
But he couldn't deal with him yet.
This is simply unreasonable!
"Then do you understand what it means?" Zhao Chen looked at Old Li Tou and asked.
"Ah?" Li Shimin just wanted to wait for Zhao Chen to tell him the reason.
Besides, he is not a real businessman, and business is not his strong point.
When asked by Zhao Chen, Li Shimin was immediately confused.
"Yo yo yo -" A strange sound came from Wei Zheng's mouth.
