The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

I was only thinking about eating before, but I forgot such an important thing. Li Shimin said slowly, with an ugly look on his face.

Li Shimin knew the status of pepper in the Tang Dynasty.

But even if the price is comparable to gold, it has a price but no market.

Pepper, mostly tribute.

There are very few peppers that can reach the public.

Ordinary people have no chance to enjoy such things.

But clearly, here at Zhao Chen, he actually saw peppers that were similar to peppers.

this……

Zhao Chen, where did you get this pepper? Li Shimin asked.

Yes, Mr. Zhao, the taste of this chili pepper is comparable to that of pepper. If it can be grown on a large scale, it will definitely become popular throughout the Tang Dynasty. Wei Zheng also nodded.

He was very curious about where Zhao Chen discovered such a magical thing as pepper.

This chili stir-fried pork is simply delicious.

Wei Zheng was just thinking about whether he could ask Zhao Chen for some chili peppers when he went back later.

This is so delicious too.

I once met a businessman from the Western Regions. He gave me some strange seeds. After they were planted, they became peppers. Zhao Chen made up a lie casually.

To have such a divine encounter, Zhao Chen, you are a noble person of my Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin said excitedly.

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment.

I don’t know why His Majesty the Emperor said such words.

But after thinking about it for a moment, I understood.

The method of deodorizing pork can completely change the meat-eating environment in Datang, which will benefit the country and the people.

Moreover, this chili pepper can replace pepper and ordinary people can afford it.

Just these two things alone made Zhao Chen a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty.

Okay, I promise you this chili thing. Li Shimin nodded and said.

This was a good opportunity to make money, and Li Shimin didn't want to miss it.

Think about it, if chili pepper could replace pepper, it would create a commotion in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was quite excited at the scene of money rolling in.

Moreover, if chili pepper really replaces pepper, it will also help reduce the authority of the family.

Li Shimin could always remember Zhao Chen's remarks about the imperial examination.

It’s just that I haven’t had a good opportunity.

Planting peppers may be the first step in reducing the power of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.

Everything you need to grow peppers is provided by me. Zhao Chen, you just need to give us the technology.

How about I give you 50% of the future benefits? Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen and said with a smile.

Fifty percent is not much, but it is still a lot.

After all, Zhao Chen just showed off his skills.

Moreover, peppers have already been planted in Wannian County. If anyone is aware of it, peppers will be on the market soon.

The price given by Lao Litou is actually not low.

Okay, I believe in your character, Old Li Tou. Zhao Chen nodded and smiled.

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment.

Your Majesty must be too kind to this young man named Zhao Chen.

50%, how much does that cost?

Wei Zheng thought that His Majesty the Emperor would give at most 10% to Zhao Chen, just to show his appreciation.

But this shot is 50%? Is this crazy?

Old... Wei Zhenggang wanted to persuade Li Shimin to think again, but he saw Li Shimin waving to him impatiently.

Old Wei, you're here for dinner today. Don't talk too much about other things. If I lose this business, I won't let you go. Li Shimin said calmly.

Wei Zheng smacked his lips twice and looked away angrily.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with pride.

I thought that this old man finally made me speechless.

Who told you to roll around and pull my clothes every time in the court, making it impossible for me to get off the stage?

Zhao Chen, you just said there are two businesses, what is the other one? Li Shimin asked, his face full of curiosity.

He needs money very much now.

This feeling of tightening one's belt to live a life is not good.

Raising pigs takes time and the state treasury also allocates money.

It’s really hard for Li Shimin to die.

He wished he could see the money back now.

Old Wei, help me go to the backyard and fetch a basin of water from a wooden basin. Zhao Chen looked at Wei Zheng and smiled.

Why me? Wei Zheng blurted out as he was feeling depressed. ??

Then let Lao Litou go! Zhao Chen said casually and looked at Lao Litou.

Lao Litou's face turned dark instantly.

Should he ask himself, the emperor, to fetch water for him?

Is that too much?

He kicked Wei Zheng and said angrily, Go if you are told. Where did you come from so much nonsense?

Do you want to come here for dinner next time?

Wei Zheng's face also darkened.

He thought to himself that if he did not defeat His Majesty the Emperor in court tomorrow, he would not be Wei Zheng.

His Majesty the Emperor actually treated his ministers like this for the sake of a tavern keeper.

Wei Zheng felt quite aggrieved.

I went to the backyard unhappily, filled a wooden tray with a basin of water, and put it on the table.

What do you want water for? Is it possible that you are a buffalo and want to drink so much? Wei Zheng looked at Zhao Chen and asked.

The voice was quite unpleasant.

If it hadn't been for this boy, who was admonishing the doctor himself, how could he be reduced to fetching water for others?

Wei Zheng felt very embarrassed.

There is a neighbor grandma in my hometown who is over ninety years old. Do you know why she can live to such an old age?

Count? Zhao Chen looked at Wei Zheng and said with a smile.

More than ninety years old, he is really auspicious.

Apart from her good health, is there any other reason? Wei Zheng looked shocked.

The current life expectancy of people in the Tang Dynasty is only forty or fifty years old on average.

Over ninety years old, that is definitely a rare existence.

Li Shimin was also quite curious.

However, when he went to Zhao Chen's hometown in Wannian County, he never saw such an old man.

Otherwise, he would definitely visit.

What's the reason? Because the old man never meddles in his own business! Zhao Chen looked at Wei Zheng and said with a smile.

What?

Hahahaha - Old Wei, look, it's not someone who said you talk too much. Before Wei Zheng could react, he heard Li Shimin burst out laughing.

After laughing, he also used words to bully Wei Zheng.

Only then did Wei Zheng realize that this boy Zhao Chen actually made up a story just to flatter himself?

But he himself was stupid enough to ask.

Really stupid.

Wei Zheng glared at Zhao Chen but said nothing.

Xin Dao thought that this boy's mind was so quick, much better than the crown prince and prince in the palace.

I guess this is why His Majesty the Emperor likes to come here!

Is this second business related to this water? Zhao Chen said slowly.

The two people in front of him stopped talking, waiting for Zhao Chen to continue.

Old Li Tou, what would you most like to have by your side during this hot summer day? Zhao Chen looked at Old Li Tou and said with a smile.

It's hot in the summer, and what I want most is something to escape the heat. It's ice, but this ice is nowhere to be found for ordinary people...

Hiss, could it be that this second business you are talking about, Zhao Chen, is this ice? Li Shimin suddenly stood up and looked at Zhao Chen in disbelief.
