Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 386 The Huo Family
Li Fu's current Salt Mountain and the newly developed Coal Mountain, together with so many farmlands, are in great need of manpower.

Therefore, he also hopes to leave some refugees behind, otherwise, he will have to find another person.

To be honest, Li Fu also has feelings for these refugees, and he will be at ease with them. If he finds someone else, Li Fu will not let it go.

In addition, Li Fu also made a lot of business in Chang'an City. Anyway, there are places where people are needed everywhere.

Hearing what Li Fu said, many people were willing to stay.

Among these refugees, many have no family members, and instead of returning to that unaccompanied place, they might as well follow Li Fu here.

Li Fu kept them all, and then assigned them to different places.

On this day, a group of people celebrated the new year in the camp.

On the first day of the new year, Li Fu also got up very early.

Because just after dawn, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

After the guards brought him in, Li Fu was surprised to find that the person who came to see him was actually a member of the Huo family in Chengdu.

Li Fu was also a little puzzled at this time, why people from the Huo family would come all the way to see him, it was simply too strange.

The guard cupped his hands and said, "Yes, young master, that man does indeed call himself a member of the Huo family in Chengdu."

Li Fu pinched his chin and thought for a while, then asked Lao Lu, "Old Lu, what do you think?"

Lao Lu also thought for a long time, and then said: "The Huo family in Chengdu is also a famous family, and there must be big things happening here."

"I think, no matter what, my lord, we should see each other first before making a fuss."

Li Fu nodded and agreed with Lao Lu's suggestion.

So, Li Fu asked the guards to take him to the front hall, and he went there first to wait.

"Chengdu Huo Linfeng, I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Huo Linfeng saluted when he saw Li Fu.

Huo Linfeng?It turned out to be Huo Xiao's second son.

Li Fu also knew about these big families. The Huo family had four sons in total. This Huo Linfeng was the second son of Huo Xiao, and he was quite famous.

Li Fu had also heard before that Zhao Xinling, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, seemed to have a marriage contract with this Huo Linfeng.

But then, out of nowhere, it stopped.

Li Fu had also heard rumors that it seemed that Huo Linfeng rejected the marriage, so it ended hastily.

Seeing Huo Linfeng at this moment, Li Fu also felt a little awkward in his heart.

But as for why it was awkward, Li Fu himself didn't know too well, it was just an inexplicable feeling.

"Your Highness?" Huo Linfeng was also a little dissatisfied when he saw Li Fu was in a daze, so he reminded him.

This Huo Linfeng, with a handsome face and a tall and straight figure, can indeed be called a dragon and phoenix among men.

No wonder this guy is so proud that even Zhao Xinling can refuse.

However, Li Fu also knew that he refused the marriage because he had never met Zhao Xinling with his own eyes.

If he had really seen her, no matter how noble and proud he was, he would definitely not be able to refuse a beauty of Zhao Xinling's level.

"Cough cough." Li Fu pretended to cough twice, and then said, "I don't know why Mr. Huo came to see me this time?"

"As far as I know, there seems to be no communication between us, right?"

Huo Linfeng didn't hesitate, he took out a booklet from his pocket, and handed it to Li Fu.

Li Fu took it over and took a look, and immediately understood what Huo Linfeng meant, and also knew why he came to his place.

It turned out that they were eyeing their own salt mountain.

"Your Highness, I know that you have a mountain of salt in your hand, and I also know that you have a unique method of refining salt." Huo Linfeng said.

"Our Huo family has been in the salt business recently, so we want to join forces with His Highness."

Li Fu smiled lightly, and asked casually: "Joint together? How do you want to join forces with me?"

"I think, Your Highness, please join our chamber of commerce and sell salt under our banner." Huo Linfeng got straight to the point and said to Li Fu.

Seeing that Li Fu didn't change his expression, Huo Linfeng continued: "There is one more thing, that is, I am willing to pay 10 taels of gold to buy your secret method of refining salt."

Ha ha, Li Fu sneered in his heart.

It turned out that he came here because he heard his name.

Let me just say, no one would come to see themselves so far for no reason, it turned out that they smelled the smell of benefits.

This Chengdu Huo family has developed for hundreds of years before it has the foundation it has today.

And he, Huo Xiao, was also an elder in court, and he was deeply loved and trusted by Li Er.

It can be said that in the court, Huo Xiao is one person above ten thousand people, no one can sit on an equal footing with him.

However, Li Fu didn't care about these things.

After all, as the prince himself, no matter how high his official position is, Huo Xiao cannot be higher than himself.

"Why, is His Royal Highness unwilling?" Huo Linfeng was unmoved when he saw Li Fu for a long time, thinking that he had already rejected him in his heart.

Li Fu leaned back on the chair, and said lightly: "Give me a reason, why should I agree?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Huo Linfeng was stunned.

Huo Linfeng didn't know how to answer these words.

10 taels of gold, that can be said to be a sky-high price.

How many people have tried their best to earn a thousand taels of gold, but this 10 taels is a number that many people dare not even dream of.

But in Li Fu's place, why does it seem that there is no attraction at all?

"Your Highness, you should know that 10 taels of gold is not a small amount." Huo Linfeng swallowed and said to Li Fu.

Li Fu smiled indifferently, and said, "That's right, 10 taels of gold can even buy an entire city."

"If you put it in ordinary people's homes, it can almost guarantee that they will have no worries about food and drink for tens of thousands of years."

Huo Linfeng nodded and said, "Since His Highness knows, why don't you agree?"

Li Fu sneered, and said, "Didn't I say it, why did I agree? Do you think I, Li Fu, are an idiot?"

Hearing this, Huo Linfeng was taken aback for a moment, then stood up abruptly.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party's status was too noble, Huo Linfeng might have already made a move.

As the second son of the Huo family, no one has ever dared to talk to him like this since he grew up so big.

Even when meeting Li Er, he spoke calmly to himself. He had never spoken to Li Fu like this before.

Seeing that the atmosphere became tense at this time, the guard behind Huo Linfeng also tensed up.

"His Royal Highness, although you have a noble status, if you offend my Huo family in this business world, do you know what will happen?"

Hearing Huo Linfeng's threat, Li Fu still didn't care, and said, "You don't have to worry about it."
