In February of the sixth year of Zhenguan.
Li Chengqian finally returned to Chang'an after a long absence.
However, on his first day back home, he had already started planning when to go to the Northern Desert.
He also asked Xiaochuzi to help him prepare some things that he would need to bring when going to the Northern Desert.
While helping Li Chengqian pack his luggage, Xiao Chuzi asked excitedly: "Your Highness, can you take your slaves with you when you go out this time?"
"cannot."
Li Chengqian simply refused.
{Received resentment value +99 from Xiaochuzi...}
Little Chuzi looked at Li Chengqian with his mouth flat, his face full of grievances.
Seeing his appearance, Li Chengqian couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "It's not a fight there, why should I take you?"
"Take me to serve you."
Little Chuzi stood up and said: "Why don't you need someone to hold your shoulders and legs, carry tea and water..."
Li Chengqian shrugged and said, "Those things can be done without worry."
After hearing this, Xiao Chuzi lost his temper.
It's really the little Chuzi who is no longer fragrant.
After all, this guy still plans to take Wuyou there...
Little Chuzi couldn't help but sigh, stood up slowly and said, "Then let Wuyou pack His Highness's luggage."
After saying that, the guy left.
That's right, he left without looking back.
That scene simply stunned Li Chengqian.
What the hell is going on?
Is this guy messing with me?
A grown man is actually jealous?
Li Chengqian also felt drunk.
Just when this guy was about to chase him out and pull him back to give him a good beating.
Suddenly I saw a tough guy walking in from outside.
Seeing this man, Li Chengqian was puzzled: "Uncle Cheng, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Cheng Yaojin, Duke of Lu State.
Seeing Li Chengqian, Old Cheng grinned: "Hey, I, Old Cheng, didn't disturb His Highness, did I?"
"No no."
Li Chengqian laughed dryly.
To be honest, he really didn't want Cheng Yaojin to step on his door.
Apart from other things, he just didn't mention bringing some gifts for himself every time he came. Instead, he always took some of his things with him.
Li Chengqian said with a wary face: "Uncle Cheng, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, do you have anything to do with me again?"
"It's over. This is because the relationship has faded."
"Why, I, Old Cheng, have to have something to do to come to see His Highness?"
Cheng Yaojin curled his lips and said, "Am I, old Cheng, that kind of person who only asks for things from others?"
"yes."
Li Chengqian slapped Cheng Yaojin in the face unceremoniously.
{Received resentment value +99 from Cheng Yaojin...}
Cheng Yaojin was also quite thick-skinned, even though Li Chengqian said so.
He had no intention of leaving at all. He smiled and said: "Okay, I, Old Cheng, will stop wrangling with His Highness and talk to His Highness about business."
"I heard that the land in East City was developed by His Highness?"
"yes."
Li Chengqian looked at Cheng Yaojin in confusion and said, "Does Uncle Cheng want to buy a house?"
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand indiscriminately and said, "How could it be possible? I, Old Cheng, have too many houses."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately showed a mean smile and said, "I, Old Cheng, was just thinking about whether I could start a real estate business with His Highness."
"Of course, if His Highness agrees, I, Old Cheng, will do whatever you need me to do. If you need money, you will have to contribute money and strength. What do you think?"
It turns out that he came to discuss business with me...
Li Chengqian thought for a while and then said: "Then have you discussed it with my uncle? After all, my uncle and I are doing this business together. If he doesn't agree, it will be difficult for me to make the decision myself."
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I, Old Cheng, have communicated this matter with him a long time ago. The old man is eager to let me join as soon as possible."
"And your uncle said almost exactly the same thing to you, saying that I would ask you. If you have no objection, he has no objection."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was a little stunned.
What?
Changsun Wuji started wearing the same pants as Cheng Yaojin?
Aren’t these two people incapable of dealing with each other?
Li Chengqian looked at Cheng Yaojin with some suspicion. He was very doubtful about the authenticity of these words.
Cheng Yaojin's dark face did not change his color, and he said straightly: "Why, Your Highness suspects that what I, old Cheng, said is false?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Li Chengqian's hand and said, "Let's go, since His Highness doesn't believe it, I, Old Cheng, will take Your Highness to the old grandson's mansion to ask."
"No, no, no, I believe it. I believe it."
Seeing that this guy was serious about it, Li Chengqian quickly gave in.
He laughed dryly and said: "My uncle doesn't have any objections anymore, how can I have any objections? If that's the case, then Uncle Cheng will follow suit."
"How about the three of us divide the money earned by the time according to the level of contribution?"
"That's naturally the best."
Cheng Yaojin chuckled and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then I, old Cheng, will leave first. There is still lamb roasting at home."
After saying that, this guy ran away without giving Li Chengqian a chance to speak.
Li Chengqian was left standing alone in the courtyard with a blank face.
Did Changsun Wuji really agree to him?
He is full of doubts now...
And it turned out that his suspicion was not wrong.
Cheng Yaojin didn't even go to Changsun Wuji's residence this time, let alone talk about it with Changsun Wuji elsewhere.
It was only after leaving Prince Qin's Mansion that he went to Duke Zhao's Mansion.
After meeting Changsun Wuji.
Cheng Yaojin's first sentence was: "Let me join the land in the east of the city. I want to make money with you."
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was immediately happy: "Why should I let you, a barbarian, join? What can you do? Can you add bricks and tiles, or can you acquire land and buy it?"
Cheng Yaojin said proudly: "Whatever you can do, I, Old Cheng, can do."
"Yo ho."
Changsun Wuji sat down with a smile and said straightly: "I can produce a hundred acres of fertile land for hundreds of thousands of copper coins, can you?"
This sentence really made Cheng Yaojin choke.
Does he have that much money?
His family is not as wealthy as the eldest son's family.
Cheng Yaojin swallowed his saliva and said, "I, old Cheng, can contribute, and there is a lot of labor in the family."
“If you have money, will you still be short of labor?”
Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes and said, "If I let you join, I'll have to give you some money. With whatever money I have, why don't I hire more civilians?"
Since Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian began to cooperate, you can almost see with the naked eye that the Changsun family is growing stronger.
As for Cheng Yaojin, who had lost as long as he didn't get it, he was almost going crazy with jealousy now.
At this moment, he was also playing the emotional card: "That's right."
"But we have been friends for many years."
"Are you embarrassed to see how poor I am while you make a lot of money?"
"I'm so embarrassed."
Changsun Wuji really didn't like him and said directly: "Okay, don't talk nonsense with me. If you want to cooperate, go to my nephew and talk to me. If he agrees, I will agree."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojin was delighted.
Cheng Yaojin said straightly: "Your nephew has agreed a long time ago, otherwise I, Old Cheng, wouldn't be able to come to you..."
hiss……
Why do these words sound so familiar?
It seems like this is what this guy told Li Chengqian just now...
