Li Ke's words made everyone who heard Li Tai feel stupid. Then third brother, how did you say such cold words with such warm lips? Third brother, are you still human?
Li Shimin was also stunned by Li Ke's sophistry.
"Besides, Dad, although I went out to take Changle and the others shopping, I also have other tasks." Li Ke said helplessly, "I want to go out to inspect the environment around Chang'an and make a plan for the next step. , mainly just to take a look at what’s going on in the Tang Dynasty’s Evernight City.”
Li Shimin: "..."
"Are you sure what you said is true?" Li Shimin was speechless.
"Of course, I may raise the issue of the Tang Dynasty's Evernight City at the court in the near future. I will definitely still have to consider some of its funding issues." Li Ke said hurriedly.
"Okay, then go ahead and keep an eye on Li Tai tomorrow." Li Shimin nodded.
Li Tai: "..."
What am I doing here today?
"Come on, Qingque, try the meat grilled by Third Brother. Let me tell you, the lamb grilled by Third Brother is absolutely delicious." Li Ke walked back to the barbecue pit and took Chang Le's meat. BBQ mission.
Chang Le is not yet proficient in skills, so it's okay to take over temporarily. I hope she can cook it well.
Li Tai didn't say anything, he simply sat down, then took a skewer of meat in retaliation and ate it hard.
When the roasted meat entered his mouth, Li Tai's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask: "Third brother, why is your mutton so delicious? And why is it roasted like this?"
Li Ke smiled. Is it delicious? It was piled with spices. Without the spices he found in the kitchen, how could this barbecue be delicious? Of course, if Datang's mutton is simply sprinkled with salt, it may be more delicious to some later generations of gourmets.
But Li Ke is a layman, and he still thinks that fully seasoned mutton is delicious.
This is even more true for people like Datang who have never tasted so many condiments.
"Don't you understand? There is Third Brother's secret seasoning in it. Of course it is delicious. The seeds of these spices are not easy to come by. I have people get them from the Western Regions at a high price. Now they have started to cultivate them. I guess they have been cultivated. It will take a few years to gradually form a scale." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Give me some more." Li Tai is so messed up that he can't hide. Can't I eat more?
"Okay, here you go. By the way, seeing how good you are, send me a hundred thousand gold in a few days. By the way, Changle, give me all the gold from your dowry, and Yuzhang Baling." , each of you will send some pocket money, and the third brother will prepare a dowry for you." Li Ke remembered something and explained.
"I understand, Third Brother, then I will have someone send it to Third Brother's house tomorrow." Changle nodded without any hesitation.
"Third brother, but we don't have much pocket money." Yu Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said honestly.
"Third brother knows, just give me as much as you have." Li Ke waved his hand without saying a specific number.
"Okay." Yuzhang and the others nodded in agreement.
"Third brother, third brother, do you need money?" Jinyang rolled her eyes and came over to ask. She didn't understand what a dowry was, but she knew that Li Ke asked them for money, thinking that Li Ke needed money.
Jinyang had quite a lot of pocket money, which was all given by Li Shimin. Of course, she had no place to spend it, but Jinyang didn't understand what Li Ke said.
"Yeah, Sizi, give your pocket money to the third brother, as much as you want." Li Ke smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Jinyang's head.
"Third brother, please wait." Upon hearing this, Jin Yang immediately ran to Li Shimin next to him, then got into Li Shimin's arms, and said softly: "Aye, Aye, Si Zi remembers that Aye once rewarded Si Zi with many things, but they are all stored in Aye's place. Can you give them all to Si Zi?"
Li Shimin glanced at Li Ke indifferently, and then said: "It was agreed at that time that it would be saved until Si Zi grows up and gets married."
"Si Zi won't marry anymore, please give it to me, Aye. I want to give it to the third brother." Jin Yang said quickly.
Li Shimin immediately glared at Li Ke.
"Ahem... Sizi, it's okay. Come to Third Brother. Remember, you still have New Year's money with Third Brother. You don't have to ask Aye for it." Li Ke coughed quickly, and the jealous old man My father is terrible.
"Then third brother, wouldn't the more money, the better?" Jin Yang subconsciously put his fingers into his mouth and chewed on it.
"Uh, that's enough, that's enough." Li Ke said quickly.
"Then Third Brother, what is the New Year's money? I never gave you any money, Third Brother." Jinyang was a little curious.
"It's money that beats the odds. Third brother prepared it for you during the Chinese New Year. May the little Sizi grow up safely. You all have it." Li Ke said quickly.
"Third brother, do I have it?" Li Tai couldn't hold back and asked.
"Your son is older than his aunt, are you embarrassed to ask for it?" Li Ke glared at Li Tai.
Li Tai wanted to say...I'm very sorry.
Li Shimin: "..." Nizi, you are hinting at me again, right? I don't want what you want.
"Oh, I forgot. Our King of Qin has more money than the national treasury, and he even gave a whole country to his sister as a dowry." Li Shimin said with a yin and yang tone.
Everyone who listened to Li Tai was stupid? More than the national treasury? real or fake? Li Tai quickly thought of the third brother's Qin Wangzhuang, which was even more outrageous than the Daming Palace... No wonder the third brother had the money to build it, but where did the third brother get the money? Is there any mall so profitable?
"Your Majesty, it's serious. It's just a small amount of money. Isn't the money I earn just to make our Tang Dynasty's treasury richer?" Li Ke said with a low eyebrow.
Li Shimin was too lazy to pay attention to him, "You want their money, how are you going to prepare dowries for them?"
"Isn't this the Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty that is ready to be built? Erchen is going to prepare some shops for them. As long as these shops are opened in the Evernight City, they will be hens that can lay golden eggs. Even if they don't run it by themselves every year, the rent alone will definitely be worth it. Not cheap." Li Ke said respectfully.
Li Shimin paused for a moment and didn't say much. He just continued: "Anyway, you know it yourself. You have many younger brothers and sisters."
Li Shimin didn't say anything extra, but the implication was that he had already told Li Ke to keep it to himself. With so many younger brothers and sisters, everyone must have a share based on Li Ke's character. But if you give too much, what will happen next? This is to warn Li Ke that everyone should give less.
"Yes, I actually want to find a way to deal with the clan perfectly through this matter." Li Ke explained briefly.
The clan of any dynasty was fine in the early days of the founding of the country, but in the middle and later stages, it would definitely look like it was too big to lose, so it is best to formulate rules now.
