Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 165 This investment is going to lose money
The shooting range corridor was full of joy, drifting with the wind in the bright sunshine.

The breeze skipped over the row upon row of houses, fell down the high wall, and disappeared in the spacious courtyard.

Under the ancient tree, Li Ke leaned on the seat woven with grape vines under the ancient tree, propped his head, and was worried.

The rumors and gossips in the imperial city had already been brought back to the palace by the spies, and the resistance of the ministers made Li Ke unable to take it calmly.

As soon as Li Xian was dismissed from office, he had nothing to worry about.

Even if the rumors are not broken, the fact that the coal stove is useless, at most, will be reprimanded by the officials.The father will also balance the merits and demerits, and settle the matter.

But I am the prince of the royal family, how can I compare my dignity with Li Xian?
If this matter is investigated, the father knows that he is the biggest backer behind Li Xian, and he will definitely be left out.

Recalling the eldest brother who had sat firmly on the throne of the Great Tang Prince for several years, Li Ke felt a dull pain in the center of his brow, and asked himself hesitantly.

"What should I do?"

"Should I believe the young man who was making tea like a juggler in the teahouse earlier?"

"This coal stove... is really as he said, can benefit the people and the country, and spread to thousands of households?"

Tapping.

The footsteps are urgent, striding forward.

"His Royal Highness, don't wait any longer!"

"The Changsun Mansion has already posted a notice stating that the charcoal smoke is highly poisonous. This is to make it clear that the people of the imperial city know that these things are not to be taken. How will the coal stove made by Li Xian be traded at that time?"

"Let's withdraw now, and before we get killed, we can protect ourselves wisely by separating ourselves from Li Xian. At most, we will be reprimanded by His Majesty, but if we still pretend to be confused, we will make a big mistake in the future, and the consequences will be unimaginable. !"

Slowly lowering the hand on his forehead, Li Ke glanced at the anxious guard, but was not disturbed by a few words.

"What kind of words are you talking like panic!"

The quiet environment created Li Ke's calm temperament. Qiangzi suppressed the anxiety in his heart, frowned slightly, and looked away from the guard with a slightly relaxed expression. The moment his fingertips tapped the armrest of the seat, he spoke quietly.

"Businessmen are always disadvantaged, and businessmen know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

"Hanging up such announcements in advance is just because the eldest grandson doesn't want to get involved and ruin the reputation of the business."

"If you can not mention Li Xian's name or the name of the workshop, it also gives Gu a chance to escape."

The branches of the ancient tree behind swayed slightly, and the breeze took away the crumbling yellow leaves, drifted into the air, and swayed down.

In the quiet environment, Li Ke pondered for a moment, secretly clenched his fists on the armrest, and his veins were looming.

rustling.

Someone rushed over in a hurry.

Before people arrived, the voice came first.

"His Royal Highness, something is wrong!"

The steward, dressed in a black background with money tattoos and embroidered clothes, trotted over with his plump body.

Sweat dripped from the fat cheeks, panting heavily, and spoke intermittently.

"His Royal Highness, the Changsun's mansion has posted a charcoal notice, and this matter has already been announced to the imperial city!"

"Our coal stove matter has to be disclosed in advance, how will we deal with it next? This is going to cut off our money!"

"Now the whole city is full of uproar, saying that the coal stove made by Mr. Li is an invisible weapon for killing people. Some literati organized themselves, saying that they want to condemn Mr. Li!"

One wave is not flat, another wave rises!
Li Ke glanced at the person who came, and sat silently on the seat.

As a prince, he must not appear in the workshop to check, and now that Li Xian is in the Ministry of Industry, he can't rush to inquire about matters.

In order to get closer to Li Xian, he concealed his name and thought he was smart, but now it seems to be a failure!

Li Ke took a deep breath, seeing the decaying yellow leaves all over the ground reflected in his pupils, feeling suddenly uneasy.

"Anything else?"

A word that calmed down made the steward extremely uneasy.

He stretched out his fat hand and counted with his stubby fingers.

"His Royal Highness, this is great news."

"Our previous charcoal business has long since come to a standstill, and we have lost contact with many vendors."

"The charcoal in the imperial city is soaring now. If we hoard it according to the past, at least a hundred gold and a thousand gold will be in the account this time."

Taking a step forward slowly, the steward frowned even tighter, and pressed a finger.

"It's okay to stagnate, but now most of our money is placed on the coal stove invented by Li Xian."

"It's not just that the coal is piled up on the mountain now, it has already consumed a lot of money and silk."

"Being disturbed like this again, this way of relying on gimmicks will be completely useless, and all the hard work we have accumulated over the years will be in vain!"

The old steward couldn't bear it, he smashed his fist into his palm, and said heartbrokenly.

"This is all thanks to Li Xian!"

"There is still some room for maneuver, let's withdraw quickly! At least we can save some."

"No matter how bad it is, if you come forward, Your Highness, the eldest grandson will still give me a face, return those coals earlier, and redeem some money."

An anxious voice pierced my ears, even Li Ke, who had always been calm in dealing with things, was a little distraught and unable to think carefully.

Sitting on the seat, he kept stroking the stubble on his chin with his fingers, quite shaken.

Seeing this, the guard became even more anxious, bowed his hands and said.

"His Royal Highness King Wu! Make a decision earlier!"

"Li Xian may have some talent, but there is always a time when his talent is exhausted! The way of business is based on his age and experience. It is normal for Li Xian to have such a defeat!"

"He is a person who has nothing to worry about, even if he has nothing to fear, but we can't follow him into the abyss!"

After arching his fist, the guard slightly raised his eyelids and glanced over.

"His Royal Highness Wu Wang is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the impression in the king's heart must not be tarnished."

"We... we have the crown prince and the king of Wei in front of us, we must be cautious in everything, and be cautious!"

As a bodyguard, he has been immersed in the royal palace for a long time, so how can he not know that this royal family is a place for you to fight for?

Li Jiancheng has learned from the past, who is willing to be the unfavored one among the princes, willing to be a slave and let other brothers control him?
Speaking bluntly and bluntly, Li Ke on the seat suddenly clenched his fists, and his heart seemed to be pulled violently.

Clash of Kings...

While his eyelids were twitching, Li Ke slowly closed his eyelids, trying to suppress his restless emotions.

After a long while, under the gaze of two pairs of eager eyes, Li Ke slowly opened his eyelids, and a little sweat overflowed his forehead.

Looking straight at the desolate scene in front of him, he pursed his lips lightly.

"hold on."

The two who persuaded were suddenly stunned and stood on the spot dumbfounded.

The light in the bottom of the eyes suddenly dissipated, and there was a long-winded voice.

The guards and stewards had a dead silence on their faces, and they bid farewell slightly.

A Li Xian, a mere Hanlin scholar, why is it worthy of King Wu's trust?

Because of a salt maker?A picture outlining Qu Yuanli's appearance?Or is it because of this strange fragrant tea?
The two shook their heads slightly, thinking about each other.

As the rustling footsteps moved, a quiet sigh could be heard in Li Ke's ears.

Li Ke felt as if he had experienced a great battle, his whole body felt numb all of a sudden, he leaned back on the seat slowly, and let out the corners of his lips in a whisper.

"Li Xian, solitude has weighed on her life's destiny..."
