Article 54: Li Shimin's Ascension to the Throne Chapter 4

Time flies very fast, and some more days pass by in a blink of an eye.

On the ninth day of the eighth month, the entire Chang'an City was very lively, and people all walked to the streets to celebrate.

Because today is the first day Li Shimin ascended the throne and became emperor.

And it was named Zhenguan.

And the reward was very generous, and dozens of people were rewarded for the title of Duke alone.

Of course, these people must include people like Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling.

It was also on this day that Ye Ping's tavern was surprisingly quiet.

It made him feel at a loss.

It's been a long time since I've been as idle as today.

But the benefits of being a little free are that he has time to take care of the vegetables in the backyard.

So he simply closed the door and stopped opening the business.

The house has been built during this period.

The overall frame has also come out, just a little supplement, and then some furniture is added.

This new home is finished.

He won't have to live in a tavern anymore.

In the evening.

Xue Rengui suddenly broke into the backyard and said panting: "Brother Ye, there is actually an imperial court in the East City that is starting to sell fine salt. The price is similar to the salt sold by the Wang family. Now it is crowded! I also bought a pack and it is the same as the salt in our tavern, and the quality is very good."

A packet of salt appeared in Xue Rengui's hand, and he handed it to Ye Ping.

"Hmm? Is Old Li so fast? It's really an accident."

Ye Ping murmured.

He still underestimated Li Shimin, and did not expect that he would make salt when he ascended the throne and start selling it. Perhaps it was because he was about to ascend the throne, in order to increase chips for himself ascend the throne and let people know that Li Shimin has the ability to govern the world.

At the same time, it was also considered a battle with the Wang family, so that the Wang family knew that Li Shimin was not Li Yuan and would not be able to manipulate him.

This is only the first time this salt fights.

"What Old Li did? This man is really powerful. The eldest brother gave him the salt formula and he handed it to His Royal Highness. Now that His Royal Highness has ascended the throne, he will make a lot of money in the future!"

Xue Rengui's tone was a little wrong. He thought that this was something that Ye Ping had to do, so why did Lao Li get it away?

If he knew that Old Li was Li Shimin, everything would be easy to explain.

"Rengui, this money can never be earned, and we can't make it to make it. And we can't handle it just about the salt mine. It's up to the court to do it. You see, aren't we pretty good now?"

This money is really profitable by Li Shimin. Every time he attacks, he must be accurate and make Li Shimin gain something, otherwise Li Shimin would not come to him next time.

Maybe it will show up next time, because Ye Ping no longer has the value of exploitation.

Where is it, even if Li Shimin makes some money, so what?

There were many internal and external troubles in the early years of Zhenguan, and these things were enough for Ye Ping to play.

"I'm just speaking out for my elder brother! I should give more money and let Lao Li pay more. He has made so much money, so he should contribute some."

Xue Rengui said so.

Ye Ping understands him, but he has better plans. If he just makes money, he can do anything.

At this time, Mrs. Xue was standing by the side for no reason.

She said, "Rengui, the shopkeeper must have thoughtfully done this. Just protect him well, let him do the rest!"

She believed that everything Ye Ping wanted to do must have his reason, otherwise he would not have attracted so many celebrities.

In fact, she might have guessed Lao Li's identity. She could come again and again and take extraordinary actions. She must not be an unknown person.

Not only is there money, but also power.

Ye Ping admires her way of dealing with people and things very much. If she wastes the opportunity to make big money in the future for small money, it is not just stupid, it is stupid.

The so-called great wisdom is like being foolish, that's what it means.

It looks like it's a loss, but it's actually a big advantage.

"The one who knows me is Mrs. Xue!"

Ye Ping laughed.

Mrs. Xue said: "In fact, it's not a big deal, it's my recent observation."

No matter what, she is still very powerful and deserves to be the last one.

Speaking of her.

Ye Ping suddenly thought of something.

"Rengui!"

"What's the matter with brother?"

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival that is approaching August 15th. I heard that there are lanterns held in the West Market recently. Why not take Mrs. Xue to see it? It's boring to stay at home often! It's also good to go and relax or something."

Since Mrs. Xue came here, she has basically not gone out, so she just happened to ask Xue Rengui to take her out with her.

In addition, Xue Rengui has been very busy recently, so it is time to have a good rest.

Don't keep doing things, it's endless.

In the Tang Dynasty, curfews will be lifted when encountering major festivals, so that the people will participate. The people also like this kind of festival very much, so once they encounter such festivals, everyone will have a good time.

Such as guessing lanterns, watching the moon, drinking, literati chanting poems, lyrics and so on.

When Xue Rengui heard this, he exclaimed.

"Why didn't I expect that I just heard people say that this year the ascension of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the biggest lantern banquet in history. Mother, let's go out to have a look later? You can also buy some rouge and water to dress up for a while."

It's almost dark now, and it would be the best if you set out at this time.

Just in time, you can see the beautiful lanterns at night.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xue glared at Xue Rengui, "Which pot doesn't matter which pot you can carry."

After finishing, he turned to Ye Pingzhi again.

"It's better to have fun alone than to have fun. The shopkeeper, are you going to be together, right?"

Mrs. Xue invited.

Yes, many people went to see it together, and that was lively.

"Brother, you can go together too. The three of us will go together and relax. I think you don't feel very good lately."

Xue Rengui also persuaded him.

Ye Ping rarely went out during this period.

If that's the case, it's better to take this opportunity to go out for a walk.

"Okay, I'll prepare it!"

Ye Ping still agreed.

"That's great! It's rare for us to be together!"

Xue Rengui said so.

After that, the mother and son were waiting for Ye Ping at the same place.

It took about a while before Ye Ping came out, so the three of them headed towards the west market.

When they headed to the west market, they followed several big men, and they followed in plain clothes.

Ye Ping knew about the followers of these people, who were sent by Li Shimin to protect him.

Li Shimin was really meant, afraid that something would happen to him or that someone would secretly be unfavorable to him. With these people, Ye Ping could basically leave sideways.
