I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

But it was just a head of thinking, and some small thoughts were carried out from the stereotypes of thinking that I came into contact with at the beginning, and the imprint of thinking from childhood education.

something deeper
Li Shimin also just felt that he might have grasped the reason why Yin Xuan would not resist merchants. Of course, it was just a possibility, an ambiguous guess.

It's just that just as this guess was born in his head, it made him feel excited.

On the one hand, it is because of the idea itself.

On the other hand, it was because finally, finally he felt that he could catch up with Yin Xuan's train of thought, and this was a good start.

How to tame a wild horse?
You have to figure out the wild horse's temperament first, and know whether it should lift its head or buttocks first when it pouts.

And now, he finally knows whether Yin Xuan is raising his head or sticking out his ass.

Looking up, looking outside the house, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, it is a good night.

But Li Shimin had a look of regret on his face, it was a pity that it was night, otherwise he would have wished to go to Tongfu restaurant now and have a long talk with Yin Xuan.

Empress Changsun remained silent, watching her husband's face changing back and forth from joy to gloom.

He couldn't help but look a little dignified.

What's going on here?
Looking at the memorial by myself, it wasn't bad news, so how could he get back this kind of demeanor?
Li Shimin grabbed Empress Changsun's hand, shook his head, and chuckled a few times: "I just thought of something interesting. I'm going to see the shopkeeper tomorrow, and I want to hear him talk about it."

Before he finished speaking, Empress Changsun reminded her: "Your Majesty, after the court meeting tomorrow, you will receive the envoys of the Bohai Kingdom."

Envoy of Balhae State.
These five words made Li Shimin stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head decisively: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if they wait a few more days."

Empress Changsun frowned.

Li Shimin quickly explained: "I just have some questions and I want to ask the shopkeeper for advice. It's not trivial matters that benefit the country."

Empress Changsun's expression relaxed a little.

She was really afraid that Li Shimin would get some bad habits of sensuality and indulging in the delicious food in Tongfu restaurant and couldn't extricate himself.

Wait until the next day.

After the court meeting was over, an eunuch was sent to inform the envoys of the Bohai Kingdom. After changing his clothes, Li Shimin couldn't wait to leave the imperial city.

At noon, there are many customers in Tongfu restaurant.

Li Shimin couldn't find a free time, until the end of lunch time, Yin Xuan was finally free, Li Shimin wiped his mouth, and invited Yin Xuan over.

"Shopkeeper, the business of Linlang Pavilion is pretty good recently?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

As soon as Yin Xuan sat down, when he heard Li Shimin's words, he narrowed his eyes slightly with a serious expression: "What do you want to do?"

"Let me tell you first, Linlang Pavilion is the source of funds for your daughter's study and experiments. Don't be cheeky and try to take it around."

"Your two daughters are soft-hearted, don't be caught and bullied"

Before Yin Xuan finished speaking, Li Shimin stared, knocked on the table, and interrupted the next words: "Am I so unbearable in your heart?"

"Am I the one who robs my daughter?"

At the next table, Li Lizhi and Li Shu stopped talking.

Yin Xuan wrung his fingers and counted: "Let me do the math, Man Jianghong. He snatched about three servings, four or five servings of soy milk, and countless fried skewers."

Li Shimin blushed slightly and coughed uncontrollably.

Hearing what Yin Xuan said, he really seemed to be a bad guy who robbed his daughter.

"Then what, I'm just grabbing some food. How can you say grabbing food?" After all, Li Shimin is Li Shimin, with a thicker skin than Suzakumen, and soon his redness faded, and he said solemnly, "Shopkeeper, you have a culture. Famous people, you can’t ruin your reputation because of inappropriate words.”

Upon hearing this, Yin Xuan was delighted: "I won't say everything, I don't know how to compose poetry."

Li Shimin pursed his lips.

Seeing that, Yin Xuan was about to put the hat of "robbing his daughter to eat" on his head, and quickly changed the subject: "Shopkeeper, I didn't intend to hit Linlang Pavilion, but I just thought about some things yesterday, and some things are not clear. I want to ask the shopkeeper about it.”

Yin Xuan nodded and waved his hands: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Li Shimin raised his hand and stroked his beard: "Linlang Pavilion does business with barbarians, don't want money, just resources?"

Yin Xuan nodded in acknowledgment.

Li Shimin went on to say: "So this is the reason why merchants don't resist merchants. Merchants can obtain those resources more easily."

Yin Xuan nodded again.

"But last night, I thought about it all night." Li Shimin pretended to be casual, and asked, "If, I just said if."

"What would you do if the store owner asked you to handle business affairs?"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin was a little nervous and expectant, but looked at Yin Xuan casually, waiting for his answer.

Yin Xuan smiled lightly and shook his head: "What should I do?"

"What is now, is still what it is."

constant?

Li Shimin was taken aback, and then looked at Yin Xuan with some surprise. This answer was beyond his expectation. He thought that Yin Xuan, who had a special understanding of merchant affairs, would have some special knowledge.

But the result. Is it the same?
"Why?" Li Shimin asked with curiosity in his eyes.

Yin Xuan spread his hands, but also very helpless: "It's very simple, what I want to do, what kind of ambitions do I have, the whole market environment is here, and I have no intentions."

Powerless?

This statement still made Li Shimin unable to think of it.

Isn't the current environment of Datang not good?

Are the East and West markets not prosperous enough?
How could this be powerless?

Seeing the puzzled look on Li Shimin's face, Yin Xuan tapped the table lightly and sighed: "Simply put, the upper limit of the market is right there."

"The business that merchants can do, I mean those who can reach the level of Linlang Pavilion, is nothing more than grain, iron, and salt."

"You said these things, can the court release them?"

Li Shimin shook his head decisively.

Yin Xuan sighed again: "As for other trades, to be honest, unless you come up with breakthrough technologies like the one I taught the two of them, it's all a small business."

"Since it's a small fight, the framework is already very good now, why bother to change it, can it show that I am very capable?"

"No, it just makes me look stupid."

After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully, squinted his eyes and looked at Yin Xuan: "So... if you want to change, you won't start with business matters?"

Yin Xuan nodded.

Li Shimin asked again: "Then where would you start?"
