Datang: Encouraging Li Er to rebel, being overheard

Chapter 41
This is a good leader, but this courage is enough to make people feel good about her.

"You continue to stay here to work, receive guests, serve tea and water to them, and I will arrange accommodation and three meals for you."

"Also, I will give you two taels of silver as wages every month. After two years, I will return your contracts of sale to you. At that time, if you are willing to continue working in the restaurant, you can increase the price to five taels of silver per month."

"Every ten days of work, I will take a day off. During the rest time, I don't care what you do."

Not only the brothel girls, but also Cheng Chumo and Li Shimin also stared at Li Chengqian in disbelief.

They never imagined that Li Chengqian would make such a big deal.

There was silence, and no one spoke first.

After an unknown amount of time, a woman from a brothel asked tremblingly.

"really?"

This is really great for them.

If it weren't for being forced to help, who would sell his body to make money in such a feudal environment in ancient times?

Now that Li Chengqian is like this, he gave them a chance to go ashore.

As long as you work hard in the restaurant, you can recover from being a prostitute to being free, but you can find a husband to marry and live a good life.

Li Chengqian smiled lightly and nodded.

"Of course it is true. As for your safety, there is no need to worry. We have the support of the Duke behind us. Who dares to make trouble?"

[Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Yaojin, this money is not so easy to earn. Since you want to make money, you have to come out and take care of things. 】

[I don’t know if we can bring Niu Jinda and Qin Qiong in, but it’s best to bring Du Ruhui and the others in, as well as Changsun Wuji. 】

[It's exciting to think about it. 】

[Forget it, it's too long, we'd better manage the restaurant first. 】

When all the women heard that there was a Duke behind the new boss, they all looked surprised.

This is in the city of Chang'an, at the feet of the emperor, who would make fun of such a thing?

Since Li Chengqian dared to speak out on this occasion, they would not have to worry about being bullied at all in the future.

"Everyone just needs to work hard, and we will naturally take care of other things."

Li Chengqian didn't talk too much nonsense. After talking about welfare and other issues, he called the oiran into the room to discuss.

The door of the room was closed tightly, and no one knew what kind of cloud and rain was happening inside.

After a while, Hua Kui came out of the room with a flushed face, and her moist eyes were full of excitement.

Li Shimin's face changed slightly, and he looked at Li Chengqian with a questioning look.

The two of them have been inside for so long, who knows what happened?
In particular, it's hard not to think too much about Oiran's radiant appearance now.

[Why is Li Er looking at me like that? Could it be that his son and I are that kind of person in his heart? 】

[It seems that I need to change Li Er's opinion of me. 】

Li Shimin listened to Li Chengqian's thoughts, raised his brows slightly, and narrowed his eyes to look at him.

The situation was special at this time, Li Shimin didn't ask, but quietly listened to Li Chengqian's speech on the stage.

"Everyone, I have already told Huakui in detail about the opening of the restaurant and some preparations beforehand. If you have any questions, you can ask her."

Having said this, his tone paused slightly, Li Chengqian raised his hand and groped for his chin, then continued softly.

"If you have any questions to ask me later, just let the oiran ask me directly, you don't need so many people."

For a moment, everyone's eyes showed a hint of envy.

In other words, Li Chengqian often communicated with the oiran after preparations, and would directly communicate with the oiran for everything in the hotel, and they usually worked hard and had no chance to contact Li Chengqian at all.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Li Chengqian nodded slightly, pursed his lips and smiled softly, looked at Hua Kui, and said with bright eyes.

"Can you tell me your name? Maybe I've heard it before, but I've forgotten it."

The corner of Hua Kui's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Li Chengqian in astonishment, no one had ever asked such a question in front of her.

"Master, my name is Xiaoya."

In the brothel, their names have gradually been forgotten, and all they can remember is the name that was taken down when they came here.

"Xiaoya, then your name will be Wang Xiaoya from now on."

"Don't forget to do what I told you to do."

"My lord, Xiaoya understands."

Li Shimin and others left, just a few steps out of the brothel, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian coldly.

"What are you doing, you rebellious son? Don't forget, locust plagues are about to happen, and droughts will follow. You don't prepare more food to help the people, and you still do this?"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt angry.

With wide eyes, Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin.

"No, Dad. I changed the brothel into a restaurant. The purpose is to make a menu of fried locusts from here. As long as there is one person who eats crabs, everyone else will follow suit."

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian showed a meaningful smile on his face, looked at Li Shimin and said hehe.

"Father, merchants value profit. As long as we can make good use of this idea, in fact, the power of merchants can also be used by us in many cases."

Seeing Li Shimin's bewildered expression at this moment, Li Chengqian shook his head and didn't explain, just let them wait and see.

……

The next day, rumors spread throughout the palace that Li Chengqian took the emperor to the brothel for pleasure.

Wei Zheng, who had just returned to Chang'an not long ago, was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him when he heard the news. He hurriedly got up early in the morning, packed his things, and went to the main hall angrily.

Wei Zheng was the first to arrive this time.

Du Ruhuifang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and the others felt helpless when they saw Wei Zheng who had come here early.

"Master Wei, everyone knows it well, and there is no need to worry about this matter."

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Wei Zheng's eyes widened immediately, staring at him angrily.

"Why is it unnecessary? Where is the majesty of the royal family? This is only spread in the palace for the time being, but what if someone accidentally leaks it?"

While they were arguing, Li Shimin was already sitting on the dragon chariot, listening to the discussion below, his face was a little embarrassed.

It's just that his eyes scanned the crowd for a long time, but he didn't see Li Chengqian's shadow.

But he could hear Li Chengqian's voice.

[Can't see me, can't see me. 】

[It's really comfortable to hide behind this pillar, it's best not to notice me until the next court. 】

[It's really a bunch of pedantic old things, so what if you go to a brothel?No matter how it looks like throwing away their ancestral graves. 】

[There is also this Wei Zheng, who can't turn his mind, and sooner or later he will be cut with a knife! 】

Li Shimin remained calm and sat on Long Yu to discuss with the officials below.

Fang Xuanling hesitated for a while, stood up and saluted Li Shimin, and said softly.

"Your Majesty, when I got up early, I found that there were several stalls selling fried locusts on Chang'an Avenue, but the business was not very good, and few people bought them."

Li Shimin was taken aback by this speed of development, and looked at Fang Xuanling with slightly widened eyes, incredulous.

"Someone started selling it so soon?"

Before Fang Xuanling could speak, Cheng Yaojin clicked his mouth a few times, smiling authentically.
