My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Li Yin sat on a chair and drank the freshly brewed matcha leisurely. Li Yuanchang should make him suffer for making things difficult for him. Besides, as a junior, he can\'t do anything. This Li Yuan is his old man. Can\'t complain.

  Standing in front of Li Yuan with a bitter face, Li Yuanchang closed his eyes. Li Yuan also punished him physically when he was a child. Although he is a few years older now, he still can\'t disobey Li Yuan\'s wishes.

With a sound of "Pa!", Li Yuan rounded the feather duster and hit Li Yuanchang\'s thigh. Li Yuanchang immediately gritted his teeth and yelled "Ouch". There is a burning pain in the thigh.

   Li Yan was stunned for a moment, this Li Yuan really wasn\'t acting for him, this time it was for real, now he was worried that Li Yuan would break the feather duster he bought from Hyundai.

Li Yuanchang was slapped dozens of times, and Li Yuanchang screamed from time to time when he was beaten by Li Yuan. Seeing that Li Yuan was almost done, he said: "Grandfather, forget it, no one has faults without being a sage. How can we all be Li Yuanchang?" People of the royal family, let this matter pass like this."

  Li Yuan was also a little tired, panting slightly, and said to the pitiful Li Yuanchang: "Today, this is Min\'er begging for you, otherwise I will never forgive you lightly."

   Rubbing his thighs on both sides, Li Yuanchang immediately returned to his seat as if he had been pardoned. Li Yuan glared at him again, and Li Yuan said: "This matter is caused by you, and the fault is on you. When you came to Yizhou, you didn\'t apologize to Min\'er, but went to the chess and card room to make trouble. What a shame. With royal face."

At this time, Li Yuanchang no longer dared to show the prestige of the emperor\'s uncle. He made a mistake when he came, and Li Yuan was still facing Li Min, and he didn\'t let go. This trip may be in vain, so he said: "Father , Liulang. The coal thing is my fault. I apologize to you. In terms of our uncle and nephew, you have a lot of adults. Don’t worry about me anymore. I promise, I will never mess with you again. "

   Li Yin felt refreshed in his heart, but his face was still as calm as water. Now Hedong Road has accumulated a large amount of high-quality coal, which is what Li Yin really wanted. Because the quality of coal in Yizhou is indeed not as good as that in Hedong, especially the coal used to make coke, so Li Min doesn\'t want to have too much trouble with Li Yuanchang. So as not to affect the economic development of Yizhou.

Li Yuanchang\'s apology was considered sincere, and Li Yuan nodded. He is not an emperor now, but a normal old man. The initiative is in his hands, because whether to purchase the coal in Hedong Road is only a matter of his words.

"Grandfather, I can repurchase the coal in Hedong Road. But because of this incident, Yizhou\'s business has suffered a lot. In order to make up for this loss, he must sell the coal that has already been produced at 10% of the original price. Give it to me, otherwise I won\'t buy it. Of course, I can continue to buy the coal produced in the future at the original price." Li Yin said leisurely, how could Li Yin be reconciled if he didn\'t pull a layer of skin from Li Yuanchang.

   "10%? You might as well grab it!" Li Yuanchang was furious when he heard Li Yin\'s words. At 50% of the price, they were working for Li Yin for nothing, let alone 10%.

Li Yin continued: "Then what should you do about my coal mining? How to calculate the loss, at most 20%, if the emperor doesn\'t agree, then I can\'t help it. Shengtang Chamber of Commerce has suffered such a big loss. Loss, if I agree, my subordinates will not agree!" Since it was a negotiation, Li Yin was of course desperate to lower the price.

"This..." Li Yuanchang said a word angrily, and then he sighed heavily. This time, he really lost his wife and lost his army. Looking at Li Min\'s indifferent expression, Li Yuanchang thought that if he didn\'t agree, he might be afraid. It’s a loss of money, a little bit is better than nothing, but after going back, I’m afraid those merchants will never do business with him again, “Well, 20% is 20%, but transportation requires you It’s up to you, otherwise I won’t buy this batch of coal even if it’s thrown into the river!”

"Okay, it\'s settled like this!" Li Yin showed a bright smile, which made Li Yuanchang feel strange. He knew that he had suffered a loss, but he didn\'t understand how much he had suffered. How could he know that Li Yin There is no loss at all, it is all a lie to him.

Seeing that the two had agreed on this matter, Li Yuan felt relieved. He knew that although he was the Supreme Emperor, he had no power at all. Why can\'t I see this, so I just watched, "You two can discuss it. I\'m old and I don\'t bother to care about these things. I\'ll go back to my chess and card room and continue playing mahjong with a few old guys." ", Li Yuan stood up and wanted to leave.

  Speaking of the chess and card room, Li Yuanchang\'s Yin came up again, and he said: "Liu Lang, did you invent this playing card?"

  Li Yin said: "No, it came from other places."|

   "Can you also prepare a few decks for me." Li Yuanchang looked forward to it. He really wanted to bring some decks back to Chang\'an, but he asked the housekeeper to turn around Yizhou, and there was no sale at all.

   "You can just ask the emperor\'s grandfather for this. There are plenty of chess and card rooms." Li Yin blamed Li Yuan for the trouble. For beginners, poker is very addictive, so that he will not be blamed if something happens in the end.

   Li Yuan said: "Take the poker and go back to Chang\'an, don\'t continue to embarrass yourself here." Li Yuan is quite a headache for this stubborn son.

  With Li Yuan\'s approval, Li Yuanchang said excitedly; "Yes, father."

  The matter of coal was resolved in a few words, and Li Yin took advantage of it. Now that he had met Li Yuanchang, he couldn\'t really ignore Li Yuanchang. In the evening, Li Yin held a family banquet, invited Li Yuan to have a meal together, and asked Rongda to arrange a residence for him in a hotel, which can be regarded as the best of etiquette.

After drinking and eating enough, Li Yuanchang took advantage of Li Yuan\'s inattention and said to Li Min: "Liu Lang, can you lend me some money tickets first? All the money I brought has been lost, and the money I borrowed will be used as mortgage money for coal." gone."

  Li Yin smiled, but still reminded: "Small gambling is fun, big gambling hurts the body, and you lose completely. You don\'t want to sue me in front of the emperor, saying that I opened a gambling shop to extract people\'s fat and blood."

   "How can this happen? I still expect to come to Yizhou to gamble frequently in the future!" Li Yuanchang said.

  Li Yan rolled his eyes, thought carefully, and said: "If Uncle Huang can bring some noble and wealthy merchants from Chang\'an to gamble in Yizhou\'s chess and card room, I can give Uncle Huang 80% of the price of buying chips."

   "Eighty percent? Seriously!" Li Yuanchang said happily, if it is probably ten thousand guan, you can save two thousand guan, which is not a small amount.

"Seriously!" Li Yin said, Li Yin understands the reason that long-term gambling is bound to lose. In the end, a lot of money flows into the casino, and at the same time, the gamblers attracted will spend a lot, which is also beneficial to Yizhou\'s economy, just like Las Vegas, originally a poor town, prospered soon after the state government legislated to open gambling, and the gamblers who rushed there every year brought a lot of income there.

Li Yin also has this plan in his heart. Private casinos are prohibited among the people, and only large-scale luxury casinos will be opened in Yizhou City to attract gamblers. The target is placed on wealthy nobles and businessmen, and Li Yuan\'s chess and card room is just a small place for him to have fun. The real large-scale official casino is under construction and will be completed in a short time.

Li Yuanchang heard that he drank a glass of wine with Li Min. He really had this plan. It would be too boring to come alone, and it would be fun to find some like-minded people. Anyway, many nobles like him who only have one title are idle all day long. , it is best to have fun.

   Li Yuan looked at the two talking and laughing, and after the two had reconciled, he also laughed in satisfaction. (to be continued)
