Chapter 231
He saw Li Mi Jing and the plot, the actions of the new emperor after he ascended the throne. Yang Guang was a man with a strong possessive desire and would not admit his failure.
Talents attach the most importance to the people, and those who have not yet obtained the most have become officials under his command, and they inevitably feel some inexplicable sense of accomplishment. However, as emperors and people with strong possessiveness, they will inevitably show off to achieve the need for complacency.
Those who can be called talents must have achieved some achievements. It is not empty to say that literature can bring peace to the world, and martial arts can make the world clear.
The threshold is very important.
Li Mi pondered in the study, saying that Li De's refusal to give in was unexpected, and reasonable. The reason why he chose to win over Li De was mainly because he took a fancy to his indifferent attitude.
Don’t compete for official positions, seek stability.
Li De is often interested in it, and the two have the same preference. The more important thing is that his wife is the eldest daughter of Gong Pei. Now she plans to help her in the future, but unfortunately the plan is not as good as change.
"The show girls are here."
The butler of Li Mi's family came over and said.
There were many women standing in the yard, all of whom were young, handsome and generous.
"The head of the family, these people are all selected through strict competitions, they are all innocent and have complete household registration." The butler whispered after approaching.
Li Mi took the files of these people and looked at them all in person. He also selected a few of the best women and said to the housekeeper: "You must arrange them all."
"yes."
After Li Mi left, the butler walked into the room and began to inquire one by one. After that, these people had never seen each other again. When these women appeared again, they were already running for election in the palace.
After the housekeeper arranged the matter and entered the study, he had another account book in his hand and said: "The qualification to run for the election costs one-third of the annual expenses of the government, which is the account book."
Li Mi took the account book and began to check it carefully. He spent money like flowing water, and there were personnel involved in the specific handling process. Every inner yamen in the palace had records.
It can be said that this is a black account, enough to make hundreds of people lose their heads.
Smart people always like to leave a way out for themselves, and they also dig a grave for themselves in advance.
"Please let me know with the disciples, Chang'an City should be stable and let them pay attention." Li Mi said.
"yes."
The butler is a person with strong execution ability. After hearing the order, he left the kitchen.
Li Mi continued to sit quietly and think.
On Chang'an Street, the thing that the people discussed the most recently was the selection of concubines in the palace. Women from aristocratic families from all over the country rushed here to get a chance.
The increase in migrant population objectively drives the development of Chang'an City. The crowded streets, lively markets, and the east and west cities are even more crowded.
Even Pingkangfang, where there are no people during the day, has changed the norm. Many girls have put on airs in the attic in broad daylight. The purpose is not much, so they naturally want to take advantage of this trend and attract more business.
There is a restaurant and a hot pot shop. The fragrance of the soup spreads through the open doors and windows at the beginning of the day. Even the girls in the yards next door come to taste from time to time.
The mothers were watching it tightly, and they basically took advantage of the opportunity to come out secretly, which added a bit of hatred for this.
There is still a fun thing to watch recently. Ma Liu and his men set up a juggling team, which specializes in performing broken stones. Through unremitting efforts and the creation of the working people, they are full of ways and can reap several times the money they used to earn every day.
Having a serious job makes people feel at ease, but the only convenience they dare not go to is Pingkangfang. They are not afraid of those mothers, but are really afraid of the people in the "Have a Restaurant".
Li De came out of Guanglu Temple and walked to the restaurant to take a look.
Li De saw him when he entered his restaurant, but no one came to say hello. They were busy. As soon as they came in, they heard Xiong Kuohai shouting: "Brother Li, help me get three plates of fine mutton and go to the No. 2 table."
Xiong Kuohai didn't even look at him, so he shouted.
Li De responded in a habit, then took the plate and sent it over.
"Li De, it's a coincidence."
The guest at Table 3 was either Wang Shixu. I remember that on the way to Chang'an, the two of them had a disagreement, which was considered to have cheated each other, but he did not regret it. Who made him rush to the scene at that time?
"Mr. Wang, how are you doing recently?" Li De said politely.
"I am now a counselor, thanks to the great grace of the emperor." Wang Shixu said.
"Fifth grade?" Li De said casually with a little playful touch.
Wang Shixu's face looked a little ugly when he heard this, because he was not as good as Li De's official rank as the "specially approved" Guangluqing, but the two different positions are really not comparable.
The counselor sounds like that, and it is related to words. In fact, it is a false position and an official position is not higher or lower. It is usually given to people who have made meritorious contributions, but a fief of five or six hundred stones is real.
At the beginning, these people were from King Jin. Now that King Jin ascended the throne, these people should be praised for their merits and promotions.
"Brother Luo is here too. Is the hot pot here still suitable for the taste?" Li De suddenly changed the subject.
Wang Shixu was a little angry when he saw that the other party was so rude. He looked down on the other party very much and could not be ignored by others. He said, "How come the soup ingredients prepared by Guangluqing, who is famous in the capital, are not in line with his taste? Anyway, he no longer needs to manage the Shangshi Bureau. Isn't he more time to study cooking methods? It's really enviable."
It's full of irony. Can you care about customers in your own store? That's because you can't get along with the money.
Li De's rationality is destined to make him earn their money, so he is still calm and does not feel interested in the rumors.
Luo Zixian nodded casually and expressed his affirmation. He didn't have much to say if there was an employer.
"Two guys eat slowly, call me any time you need." Li Dedao.
Seeing that the provocation method was not effective, Wang Shixu pondered a little and said, "So please add one more mutton to Mr. Li."
"Okay, please wait." Li De smiled like an angelic smile when he didn't care about him.
"Hmph, it's really a disgrace to serve the plates here. Since that's the case, I'll let you take them enough today." Wang Shixu directly poured all the slices of meat into the hot pot, ate them in two bites, and he was happy when he saw Li De coming over.
"Did you notice that since Brother Li came, our store's business has improved a lot. The consumption of Table 3 today will definitely break the single-table consumption record for business operations." Xiong Kuohai muttered.
"It's even better than me, Cheng, I'm really not showing my appearance." Cheng Zhijie said.
"That's why experts are all among the people." Yu Junda added.
"What if he doesn't matter, it's true that he can earn money anyway." Li De walked over and said.
