Li Shimin gave a complicated sigh in his heart, this boy is really a great talent in the country!
As for the long-term and difficult-to-treat problems that plagued the imperial court, he, a young man, could see so clearly and give such a plan for governing the country.
If this person were an official, he would surely be worth millions of elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!
But precisely because he is only a young man, it is difficult to judge his future character...
But Li Shimin still picked up the wine glass and said to Tang Sufan sincerely: "Young man Tang, I admire you so much. I'll give you a drink!"
Seeing that their emperors were all toasting with glasses, Fang Xuanling and the other two people also quickly said together: "Young man Tang, I want to toast you too!"
Tang Sufan glanced at the serious people suspiciously. Now that the alcohol had not really hit his head, he felt something was wrong in his heart...
He stopped picking up the food in his hands, squinted his eyes and looked around, picked up the wine glass and slowly drank the toast~
The important matter was agreed upon, and Li Shimin was thinking carefully about what to do next. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui had nothing to talk about, let alone Cheng Yaojin, who worked hard on the wine and food.
For a moment, the chopsticks and cups were intertwined, but it became quiet.
Suddenly, Tang Sufan said in a deep voice: "Old Li, I'm afraid you are not a simple businessman~"
As soon as Tang Sufan said these words, Li Shimin and the four people, who had their own thoughts, looked shocked, their expressions were stagnant, and their breath seemed to be lifted into their throats.
Could it be that this bitch has already figured out his status as emperor? !
Li Shimin slowly took a deep breath, his eyes darkened, he thought about it, and asked tentatively: "Oh, why do you say that?"
Tang Sufan looked directly into Li Shimin's eyes and said slowly: "Old Li, since the last time we talked, I have suspected that you don't look like an ordinary businessman, and you and the two accounting stewards have different visions. and insights.
Moreover, people who can live in Chang'an and carry out business in Hedong Road will never be so simple behind the scenes! Although Lao Cheng's official status was not high, he was an upright official and a member of the military camp. You can interact with him without hesitation, and you are more concerned about political affairs and care about the impact of court trends on business, is it possible..."
Li Shimin was beating the drum in his mind while thinking about how he should face this young man with great talent after the showdown later.
What should we do if this kid still refuses to enter the court even after knowing his identity as emperor?
If he is willing to serve the court, what position should be given to him?
Suddenly, Li Shimin's thoughts became extremely complicated because of Tang Sufan's words.
Cheng Yaojin, on the other hand, was not the same. His body was straight and his rough expression was pleasant. He thought to himself that his identity was about to be revealed after all...
After Tang Xiaozi pays homage to him and calls him the Duke of his country, should he honor him with one cart of wine or two carts of wine? I’m so sad ~ Hahahaha
Tang Sufan paused for a moment, then said directly with a light that he thought was wise in his eyes: "...You are an imperial merchant!"
Indeed, in Chang'an, Tang Sufan could only think of the only identity of a businessman, that is, an imperial merchant, a relative of the royal family.
Although he has the title of emperor, his status is not high or low. In this era where official career is the great honor, he can be a businessman, and he can have such a vision and pay attention to the impact of court policies on business. It seems that his temperament and posture are higher than ordinary people. As for businessmen, there is only a special kind of businessmen in Chang'an - Huangshang.
Tang Sufan also thought about whether he was a court official, but how could he be a court official if Lao Li dared to do business with him?
As for the Duke and the Emperor, Tang Sufan had never thought about it, and he didn't dare to think about it. If he ever thought about it, if this old Li really was the Duke and the Emperor, Tang Sufan would feel that he would kick him someday. One kick, and the head is already gone~
How could something of this kind of probability happen to him? Should he really write a novel?
"Forehead………"
Suddenly, Li Shimin and the four of them, who had already felt angry in their hearts, froze at the same time. Tang Sufan's 'flower gun' caught them off guard~
The expressions of Li Shimin and others changed, which was extremely exciting. Fang Xuanling and the other three quickly turned their attention to Li Shimin. That means, this... you should explain it yourself~
Tang Sufan glanced at the people with complicated expressions, and took a sip of wine with a leisurely expression to admire his quick thinking~
Li Shimin thought quickly in his mind. Fortunately, this kid didn't know their identities. If he really knew their identities, it would be hard to say what happened next.
Then, Li Shimin straightened his chest and said in a deep voice: "Well, in that case, I don't have to pretend anymore... I am the Longxi Emperor Merchant! Li Huilang~"
(PS: Trivia: Li Shimin’s real name is Hui’er~haha~)
Hiss~
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui suddenly felt a chill in their back teeth. Could it be that His Majesty is really planning to have a long-lasting drama with this kid? ?
Tang Sufan raised his handsome eyebrows. Sure enough, this all makes sense~
Tang Sufan said happily: "Haha, fortunately, I am very witty and discerning. Lao Li, I can't tell, you are still hiding it quite deeply~"
Several people in Li Shimin were speechless. Even Cheng Yaojin looked at him as if he was a 'great smart person'. Wit, wit, your grandma has nothing to do with your wit~
Li Shimin said slowly: "Ahem, alas, although Huang Shang sounds good, there are actually many inconveniences. You should be aware of it, Mr. Tang."
Tang Sufan nodded: "I know, I know."
Even though the imperial merchants have the title of emperor, they are still just a type of people who are looked down upon by the royal relatives. It is a bit embarrassing to not have official status and not to fall into the ranks of common people~
"But you are an imperial merchant after all. You don't have to worry about ghosts and monsters in the business of the tavern at the back. We can also make some money with peace of mind."
Li Shimin said: "Of course there is no problem, but, Mr. Tang, when are you going to open this tavern to make a living?"
Tang Sufan made some calculations in his mind, but couldn't give an exact time: "It's still early, it will take about half a month. After all, the general layout is ready now. There are many things that Old Uncle Liu in the village would have to do for more than ten days. .”
Seeing that he still couldn't reveal his identity, Cheng Yaojin said again: "Boss Tang, can you please invite someone to support you on the opening day? I, Old Cheng, will go to you?"
To put it bluntly, he just wants to continue drinking~
"Old Cheng, didn't you say you were busy with military affairs in the second half of the month?"
After Li Shimin heard this, he quickly glared at Cheng Yaojin secretly. This idiot is just here to drink. If you drink more, I will earn four dollars less. How can that be done?
Cheng Yaojin shrank his head, coughed and said yes repeatedly, and the thought of drinking was extinguished.
Li Shimin then nodded and pondered, and then said: "Can you think of a name for this wine? Such a fine wine must have an elegant name."
Tang Sufan scratched his head, thought for a moment, and simply said: "This wine is hard to find in the world, so let's call it Tian Yuquan~"
Although this name doesn't have much background, it can't stand up to its high character!
Li Shimin nodded and praised: "It's hard to find this in the world, so it's Tianyuquan ~ Well, it's so good!"
Fang Xuanling quickly flattered her: "This kind of fine wine will be a big seller, and my boss's business will be prosperous for a long time!"
The important matter was decided, and he was in a good mood. Li Shimin smiled boldly and started drinking: "Haha, very good. Come, let's celebrate the name of this wine."
Tang Sufan picked up the wine glass: "Okay, okay! Come and go~"
