Li Zhi shook his sleeves and left, but Cheng Wushe didn't follow him immediately.

After all, on the surface, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was just a member of the Ministry of Works, and was just a friend of Cheng Wu and a few others.

"Sanlang, be polite to Wang Yuanwai in the future. He is actually kind-hearted. Last time he donated money to the school and wrote a plaque for your academy. Today he promised to invite you ten gentlemen, all of whom were kind-hearted." Cheng Boxian said tactfully.

Liu Wen, who was on the side, also hurriedly said, "Yes, Wang Yuanwai is actually quite a good person and is very popular in Chang'an. He speaks everywhere, so he is more polite in the future."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "If it weren't for your brothers, who would have liked to know Wang Yuanwai, no matter how popular he is in Chang'an and how broad his hands and eyes are, he has nothing to do with me. I, a small landlord in Qinling Mountains, cannot afford to climb."

"You, Wang Yuanwai is actually a very kind person. If you want to change someone else, you will probably have a grudge against you after hitting him several times. But he didn't say a word, and you can't compare to your aura." Xue Chuyu also said.

Their fourth brothers actually had both served as Li Zhi's imperial guards before, and even Xue Huaiyu and Cheng Boxian are now officers of the newly established Yulin Army.

Brothers are kind-hearted, so you can't watch Li Xiao jump into the pit. But the emperor had explained that they could not directly reveal that the king's wife today is today.

"Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. The school starts today. Thank you for your support. I will cook a table of wine and food in person later. Let's have a few drinks." Li Xiao felt that he couldn't get close to aristocratic children like Wang Yuanwai, and he was too lazy to deliberately make friends with him.

Make friends all depends on fate.

Spring begins after the New Year, spring returns to the earth, and there are also many wild vegetables in the fields.

Cheng Wu and the others didn't like big fish and meat. They were the most in short supply of these things, so Li Xiao directly prepared some side dishes.

There are small fish in Lanxi, and the fish are covered with flour and fryed in the oil pan. The outside is crispy and tender on the inside. After the water is over, add some chili and garlic, then add some vinegar and sesame oil to cool, which is also very refreshing.

In addition, a plate of broad beans, a plate of pig ear shreds, and a pot of old wine.

Simple, but delicious.

"Sanlang really lived a comfortable life this time. No wonder even the seventh-rank army member in the army was unwilling to do it. If I hadn't been born in the general's family, I would rather live such a comfortable life." Liu Jun said with a smile, while eating it with a big mouthful of cold wild vegetables.

"No, who would have thought that there would be such pleasant days in the mountains and fields?" Liu Wen also said.

Cheng Boxian felt a little sorry for Li Xiao.

"Sanlang, although your life is comfortable, it is too comfortable to destroy your ambition. How can a man be a real man be in love with his children and family members all day long? You are not talented, but you have great talents. Even the strategy of pacifying Liao comes from your chest and abdomen. I wonder how much my father and brother are so amazed. Why don't you participate in the Eastern Expedition with me? Then you will gain fame and wealth, and you will not be in your old age. I sigh that you have spent a great life with me!"

Xue Chuyu also felt that Li Xiao wasting his talents. Not to mention that it was rare for a seventh-rank army to join the army, even this Eastern Expedition was also a very rare opportunity. I remember that when his father was young, his family was in decline, and his father had the opportunity to emerge by joining the Liao army to conquer the Liao army and achieve his current status.

"How can a man be a real man just thinks about comfort? He has to earn a wife and a cute child no matter what. You have to think about your family and your children and grandchildren."

Li Xiao shook his head, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If they have the ability, they will naturally be able to stand out. If they don't have the ability, they will not be able to defend themselves even if they earn a duke for them."

"The grass and trees are in autumn, life is in one lifetime, Sanlang, what do you think we live in one lifetime?" Liu Jun asked.

This may be the life values ​​that people in this era consider.

What is human beings living for?

For people of Liu Jun and his time, people may live for the purpose of continuation of blood and reproduction of descendants, for fame and fortune. In the final analysis, it is fame and fortune. It is also for themselves, for the family and fame, for themselves, and for the family.

Relatively speaking, Li Xiao, the values ​​of later generations, may be more selfish, and if he lives well, he will not live in vain.

So he thought more about living comfortably and freely, but he would not think about going too far.

Cheng Boxian and the others could not understand Li Xiao's comfort, and Li Xiao also found it difficult to understand why Cheng Boxian and other generals were so obsessed with fame.

As children of generals, they were born with a golden key in their arms. They were born with a father's embrace and were able to get official positions and honors at a young age. Even if they don't work hard in this life, they can enjoy their lives while lying down.

But most of them worked very hard. They were more eager for fame than ordinary people, and were even willing to go through fire and water for this and fight.

Compared with the honorary and relatives of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties after the Tang Dynasty, the honorary and relatives of the Sui and Tang dynasties after the Tang Dynasty, the honorary and relatives of the Sui and Tang dynasties during the Southern and Northern Dynasties were considered real eagles, unlike the grass chickens from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The grass chicken shouted fiercely, but was timid.

Li Xiao believes that he is not a young eagle, but he also believes that he is a grass chicken.

He wouldn't shout like a grass chicken but was timid. He really didn't want to fight. He felt it was completely unnecessary. People don't have only one way of living, and this way of living is also good now.

If the few people persuaded him, Li Xiao just didn't want to go to Liaodong.

If you go to Liaodong to fight, it will kill people. Even if you stay in the chief account as a staff officer, it will never be easy. It will take thousands of miles away, so hard and cold, why bother to suffer that?

"A few brothers, I have recently developed a good thing. I have prepared a perfume with flower dew, fragrance and soju. A fundamentally different flower shapes and flavor types can be prepared to create different fragrances. There are suitable for men, women, young and old. Just one drop can make people fragrant."

With the technology of distillation of liquor, you can naturally produce more good things, and perfume is just one of them.

Li Xiao was unwilling to be an official or go to war, but he was willing to make money.

Money is actually a very useful tool. With enough money, you can buy land, land, or even networking, or even official positions.

Now that medicinal wine is very profitable, Li Xiao plans to make some perfume.

Compared with medicinal wine, it is considered a mid-to-high-end market. It is directly positioned as a high-end market for perfume, which is considered a luxury product. However, with its back against Chang'an City, especially Chang'an is still an international trade city. I believe that perfume will have a very marketable market.

However, like medicinal wine, doing this kind of money-making business must have some background support, so Li Xiao had already come up with a good idea and took the fourth young master of Chang'an to do it together.

Everyone makes money together, Li Xiao makes skills and they make connections.

"It sounds good. Since it is the idea that Saburo came up with, I believe it must be good. How to do it? Saburo, just open your mouth, let's listen to you." Liu Wen said, the last time the medicinal wine business was very successful.

Cheng Boxian said on the side, "We are relieved to do things in Sanlang, but I have a small request for this perfume business. I hope Sanlang can bring the king to work together."

"Why do you want him? It's enough for us." Li Xiao never caught a cold with the King of the Wai.

Cheng Boxian laughed twice, "Actually, Wang Yuanwai may not be able to watch this deal, but I think we'd better get him. If he really wants to be together, that's great. If he doesn't want to, I think we can also get the prince's wife's family to join us."

"Is it necessary?" Li Xiao asked. This perfume business is a must-earn business. If you cooperate with others, you will be free to share money.

"It's very necessary." The four young masters of Chang'an nodded together.
