Prince of the Tang Dynasty: Signing in began with harming Li Shimin

Chapter 637

Chang'an East City.

Chen's Paper Workshop.

As a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Chen family paper shop still has a place even if it moves to the capital.

However, what really made it well-known to the people in the capital is the street rumors that have spread faintly recently.

After all, although Li Jing's current situation is quite critical, there are only a few dozen people who dare to blatantly take refuge in Li Ke.

As a beneficiary of the new papermaking technology, the Chen family switched to Li Ke, which really made the people of the capital extremely shameless.

Therefore, for more than ten days, people have come here every day, not to buy new paper from the Chen family, but to ridicule and criticize Huai, to see what this wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River looks like.

But if someone looks carefully, they will find that there are only ignorant and ignorant people among them, and no one is a talented person who has read poetry and books.

Just because in the eyes of countless people who think they are smart, it is nonsense for Chen to seek refuge with Li Ke.

Regardless of Li Jing's current dominance, the mere fact that the royal paper shop controls the Chen family's life and death is enough to make the Chen family be wary.

But in the eyes of truly wise people, it is really impossible to confirm whether the Chen family has taken refuge in Li Ke or not.

"Grassman Chen Huaisheng, pay homage to the King."

The inner courtyard of the paper workshop.

The middle-aged man dressed in coarse linen bowed his hands towards Li Ke expressionlessly.

Li Ke raised his head and glanced at the words, and replied with a smile: "Patriarch Chen, you don't need to be polite, just get up and answer."

"Thank you, King."

Chen Huaisheng nodded and bowed again, then got up.

Seeing this, Li Ke nodded, nodded and said: "My concubine often mentions to this king that when she was in Yangzhou, it was thanks to the help of Master Chen that she was able to save her life.

Otherwise, as early as when Yuhuaji rebelled, the mother and concubine would have been buried in the chaos.

Today Patriarch Chen worked tirelessly and traveled all the way to the capital to help me.

This kind of great kindness and righteousness will definitely be remembered by this king, and there will be generous rewards when this king ascends the throne in the future. "

"Your Majesty, you are being polite. This is what my Chen family should do."

Chen Huaisheng smiled modestly, but there was a look of self-satisfaction unconsciously in his eyes.

Like him, a wealthy family between aristocratic families and merchants is very good at investing in advance.

And helping Concubine Yang escape from Yangzhou back then was one of the most correct decisions he made in his life.

Otherwise, there are so many aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, how can such an insignificant small family like the Chen family rise up suddenly in just a few years.

However, now the biggest backer behind him is in crisis, and because of this, the Chen family has been squeezed out by the Jiangnan family.

If he continued to stay in Jiangnan waiting for news, wouldn't he be like a waste waiting to die.

What's more, Lu Buwei made the most important investment in his life back then, and at the same time pointed out a clear way for merchants all over the world.

Although he is not as amazing and talented as Lu Buwei, he still has the heart to try this pinnacle of investment.

If this happens, his Chen clan will surely shine forever.

If it is defeated, it is nothing more than death, Taoism, family and clan.

As a child of an aristocratic family who has been taught by the family since he was a child, he still has the responsibility to gamble.

"Homeowner!

Patriarch! "

Just as Chen Huaisheng was complacent, a young servant hurried over with an anxious expression.

Seeing this, Chen Huaisheng frowned dissatisfiedly, and said in a cold voice, "Bastard!

How decent is it for the king to panic and panic in front of you! "

"Uh……

The little one disturbed the king, and I ask the king to forgive me! "

The little servant was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly saluted Li Ke.

Seeing this, Li Ke waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "Get up.

Patriarch Chen is the benefactor of this king, for the sake of Patriarch Chen, this king will not care about you today.

But this king is also quite curious, what happened to make you so panicked? "

"This……"

Hearing this, the boy turned his head to look at Chen Huaisheng, with a look of confusion on his face.

Li Ke was dissatisfied when he saw it, and he snorted unabashedly.

Chen Huai's heart ached when he saw it, and he wished he could kill this sightless waiter with a single knife.

It's just that Li Ke is on the side at this time, it would be a bit unattractive if he hit hard.

"The king asked, why don't you say it quickly, what do you want to do?!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Chen Huaisheng yelled angrily, and the servant immediately nodded and bowed his head and said, "Report to the King, Patriarch.

Five palace guards came to the store, wanting to pick up the high-quality paper that was ordered a few days ago.

But the leader's requirements are very harsh, the young one really doesn't know what to do. "

"harsh?!

How harsh? "

Chen Huaisheng asked angrily.

Hearing this, the boy's face turned bitter, he shook his head and said anxiously: "Go home, Lord.

The person in charge wanted a copy of every high-grade paper, but this was extremely inconsistent with the agreement made that day.

If the little one agreed to his request, how would the little one explain it when other customers came to pick up the goods later? "

Chen Huaisheng frowned when he heard this, and suddenly felt that it was very difficult.

After all, the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, the people who are close to the emperor are at least six-rank.

It was really difficult for a foreigner like him who came from afar.

Seeing this, Li Ke chuckled secretly, waved his hands and said loudly: "The court guards should also follow the court's laws, so there is no reason to buy and sell by force!

Patriarch Chen, don't make things difficult, with this king here today, no one will bully you!

Later, the king will come to see who dares to be so arrogant! "

……

"Humph!

Arrogant? !

Li Ke, this king came here to pick up the goods to give you face, so why speak arrogantly?

If you dare to stop this king again, be careful not to leave this king alone and let the elder brother come and fetch it himself! "

Paper mill pavement.

Li Tai twisted his chubby body and shouted extremely arrogantly.

Li Ke's face was full of anger when he heard the words, but he had nothing to do with this king of Wei who had no desires or desires.

After all, Li Tai voluntarily gave up fighting for the position of prince, just like creating a layer of indestructible body.

Whether it was Li Ke, King of Han, or Li Chengqian, King of Hengshan County, they all wanted to take this shameless little fat man into their pocket.

If he really had a conflict with the little fat man at this moment, Li Chengqian would carry a big sedan chair to invite Li Tai to the banquet tomorrow.

And this is a stupid thing that is equivalent to being an enemy, how could he, Li Ke, do it!

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down!"

Seeing that Li Ke was in a dilemma, Chen Huaisheng knew that today's affairs could never be good.

Immediately, he winked at the servant next to him, held a piece of high-quality paper in both hands and said with a smile: "My lord, this is the treasure of the shop, if you like it, just play with it.

The rest of the high-class papyrus people have already ordered people to prepare, and they will be ready for you within half an hour! "

"The treasure of the town store?!"

Li Tai sneered when he heard this, and flipped through the paper casually.

"This new papermaking technique is my improvement, and I am the only one who knows the best in the world.

The treasure of your town shop looks no different from the rice paper of the imperial paper workshop. I really don't know how you have the courage to say that it is far more than a hundred times better than the imperial paper workshop! "

"Far more than a hundred times?!

Your Majesty, this..."

"Shua...

Stab it! "

Chen Huai was startled when he heard it, and just now he wanted to ask, but he saw the little fat man suddenly grabbed the sides of the rice paper and pulled it hard without hesitation.

Following his abrupt movements, the rice paper that had attracted everyone's attention just now because of the name of the shop, instantly turned into two pieces of broken waste paper that "describs misery".

And Chen Huaisheng, who was full of confidence with a smile on his face, also turned his face like golden paper with the little bits of paper falling around.

If it wasn't for the young servant beside him to quickly support him, he would surely fall to the ground with no strength.

It's just that now that the treasure of the town store has been destroyed, coupled with the sarcasm of an authority like Li Tai, the reputation of Chen's Paper Workshop may plummet.

With the loss of the most important foundation, the decline of the Chen family is a foregone conclusion.

But he really didn't understand why Li Jing sent Li Tai to Chen's Paper Workshop to make trouble?

Could it be that their plot has been seen through by Li Jing?

But how is this possible? !
