I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen was very unhappy when he heard Li Tai say that he was cheating people out of money.

I am such an upright person, there is no chance for me to cheat others.

Everyone was observing Li Shen, trying to see if what he said was true.

Because the spice thing gave them a familiar taste.

First, there was a shortage of the fifth grade, and then the price started to rise wildly. The routine was too similar.

Not only Li Tai was suspicious, even Li Chengqian followed suit.

"Tenth Brother, Fourth Brother is also worried because my Prince Wei's Mansion is also short of spices right now, so I am thinking about whether I should collect some as well.

If I collect too little, I'm afraid I won't have it anymore; if I collect too much, I'm afraid I'll lose money."

Li Tai explained with a smile.

"In this case, I think it would be better for Fourth Brother not to accept it. Otherwise, since Fourth Brother's family needs it,

From now on, I will send you some every month. Anyway, your Prince Wei’s Mansion won’t use much in a month.

On the contrary, the consumption of my Ji Wang Mansion is too large. If there is one less person to purchase it, I will have one less competitor and the price can be lowered further.

I wonder what Fourth Brother thinks?"

Li Shen said to Li Tai very calmly, as if to say, "Don't argue with me."

"Isn't this bad? How can I let you spend money? Let's talk about this later.

I still have some in stock at my house." Li Tai shook his head.

He didn't know what Li Shen was up to.

"Your Majesty, the Queen said that it is time to prepare the meal?"

At this time, a maid came in from outside to report.

"Well, it's getting late, we can get ready." Li Shimin nodded.

"Old King, I brought some fresh ingredients. I will ask the royal chef to prepare them properly. Don't waste them."

Hearing that it was time to eat, Li Shen hurriedly called out to Wang De.

"Your Majesty, shall I go there for a while?" Wang De asked.

"Go ahead. The things that Prince Ji brought must be good things. We can't waste them."

Li Shimin waved his hand. (Tomato novel free reading.)

"Tenth brother, what good things did you bring?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.

“You’ll know later, these are all marine ingredients that were just shipped in from the south a few days ago.

It was originally planned to be sent to the palace, but Aye happened to be here, so he brought it here directly.

I also got some good wine." Li Shen replied with a smile.

"Tenth Brother, sometimes Fourth Brother really envies you. Look at your food, clothing, housing and transportation. Everything is extremely luxurious.

All the food had to be delivered to Chang'an from all over the place at full speed. The transportation cost alone was probably a considerable expense.

You are probably the first person in history to do this, right?"

Li Tai's face was full of envy.

Ordinary people knew that Prince Ji's mansion was luxurious, and that Prince Ji was a spendthrift, but they could never imagine to what extent Li Shen could be extravagant.

The cost of transporting food from the seaside alone is equivalent to several years of food and clothing expenses for ordinary people.

If the value of the food is included, it would probably be enough for a family's expenses for ten years.

It is known that only they, who are also nobles, can appreciate how luxurious Li Shen’s Ji Wang Mansion is.

"Fourth brother, please don't say that. How dare I call her my first love? Haven't you heard of the saying "a pool of wine and a forest of meat"?

Besides, I am not that extravagant, and I have not used the meat plate yet."

Li Shen waved his hand and said modestly.

"You bastard, do you still want to enjoy the feast? Do you still want to use people as weapons?

Are you really ready to indulge in debauchery?

If so, I will break your legs!" Li Shimin shouted angrily after hearing Li Shen's words.

"No, no, that's what I meant.

Fourth brother said that I am the first in history to be extravagant, but I am not yet at that level."

Li Shen waved his hands quickly.

The so-called meat plate is actually the same as the human body feast in Japan, and even worse.

It was mainly popular among wealthy and noble families during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Its core feature is that it uses living people as "utensils" and the bodies of maids or singers as "plates" for placing dishes, which are called meat plates.

Shi Chong and Wang Kai used this when they were competing for wealth in the Jin Dynasty.

The reason why Li Shen knew this was because he loved listening to some interesting historical stories, and he had to listen to them after coming here.

Therefore, Li Shen always felt that China's five thousand years of civilization has influenced global culture.

"Let's go out for a walk." Li Shimin stood up and said to several people.

The brothers quickly stood up and followed Li Shimin to the observation deck of Cuiwei Palace.

It is surrounded by lush green mountains, with birds singing from time to time, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"It's really nice." Li Shen took a deep breath and sighed as he looked at the mountains in the distance.

No wonder this place is called the Holy Mountain and the Land of the Dragon Vein of China.

I don’t know how many emperors and generals are buried here.

"I heard from Wang De that you also want to enclose a piece of land here?" Li Shimin's voice came over.

The last time Li Shen handled Gao Yang’s matter, he told Wang De about it, but he was rejected at that time.

"Well...it was just a joke." Li Shen shook his head.

At that time, I was planning to set up a zoo and raise some wild animals to add some fun to my life.

"Haha, are you joking? I don't think you are joking. I heard from Wang De that you still want to raise wild beasts here?" Li Shimin sneered.

My son is so heartless. He raises wild animals while I live here.

"Aye, you are joking. How can we keep wild animals here? This is Aye's palace. What if Aye is hurt?"

Li Shen shook his head to deny it again, trying to make Li Shimin believe that it was really just a joke.

Li Shimin glanced at him and stopped talking, but his expression showed that he didn't believe Li Shen at all.

Just as the father and his sons were chatting, there was a commotion in the distance and the sound of a child crying.

"What's going on?" Li Shimin asked.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xing hurried over to check, and after a moment he ran back to report:

"Your Majesty, a few young men and women got into a fight."

"Fighting?" Li Shimin was stunned. How could the children, who were only a few years old and were all being taken care of by maids, fight?

"How did a fight break out? Who fought with whom?" Li Shimin asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, it was the young lady from Prince Ji's Mansion and the young master from Prince Jin's Mansion who got into a fight.

The Queen Mother knows the news and is processing it. "Wang Xing replied.

"What? Xixi was beaten?" Li Shen immediately lost his composure upon hearing this.

How can you let others bully your precious daughter?

The child from the Prince of Jin’s Mansion, Li Zhong, the eldest son of Li Zhi, seems to be six or seven years old this year?

He is two years older than Xixi, so his daughter will definitely suffer.

"Let's go and take a look." Li Shimin was also a little curious after hearing this.

A group of people immediately went there. Li Shen was a little worried, wondering how his daughter was doing.
