Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 75: Dou Xiaopang (Part 1)
East City, in front of Qiqu Pavilion.
Li Tai saw someone stand up and confessed, so he turned his attention to Li Zexuan and asked proudly: "Did you write "Journey to the West"?"
Li Zexuan was a little puzzled about "Journey to the West", but he nodded and admitted:
"I did write "Journey to the West". I don't know what your Highness means?"
"Well, I came to you. There is a good job here. This king invites you to be a guest of the Wangfu. You will write a story like "Journey to the West" specifically for the king in the future. How about a monthly salary of 20? This is more promising than you open this broken shop."
Li Tai said triumphantly and triumphantly. In his opinion, the broken shop in front of him can earn ten dollars in a month. There is no such thing as a story written specifically for him. He is not like Li Chengqian who is poor, Li Er and the eldest grandson have always been very fond of him, and they have a lot of monthly rewards, so he has the money to support the customers.
Cheng Chu silently listened in silence. Although he was not directly involved in the operation today, he saw everything in his eyes. This Qiquge has more than one hundred running accounts a day. After eliminating the cost, the profit is also four or five. Ten, he really didn't know where Li Tai was confident.
Li Zexuan looked at the little fat man who showed off his wealth and superiority in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He wanted to tell Li Tai, I will give you forty per month, just beg you not to bother me again. ? After thinking about it, this was a bit too hurtful, and it was estimated that Li Tai would jump, so he didn't say it. Li Zexuan can only say tactfully:
"I'm afraid that I will teach your Highness to be disappointed. The people have a loose life. I just want to stay at home and open a shop. I don't intend to be a guest of the palace."
Li Tai was standing there proudly waiting for him to agree, but I did not expect to wait, but Li Zexuan refused without hesitation, and was extremely annoyed. This kid really didn't know how to lift up. Li Tai, who has been smooth since childhood, has a face at this moment. I couldn’t hold on to it, he said with an ugly expression:
"Are you sure?"
Li Zexuan knew that this little fat man was going to get angry, but he was sure that Li Tai would not do anything to him. He was in a legal business, and he did not do anything scheming. The officials in the early Tang Dynasty were quite clear and he was not afraid of using him. He was vindicated by his identity, and Cheng Chumo was still standing next to him.
Li Zexuan nodded affirmatively: "I'm sure!"
Li Tai laughed angrily when he heard this: "Okay, very good, do you think that the king can’t do anything to you? The king heard that you and Yan Shangshu’s son Yan Shaoning have a workshop, and the craftsmen in it He came out of the prison, you said, if this king asks his father to reward me with those craftsmen, do you think my father will agree?"
"You..." Cheng Chu was angry when he heard the words, and he was about to come forward to reason. Li Zexuan quickly pulled him back. Cheng Chumo had helped him enough, and the rest could not drag Cheng Chu into the water.
What Li Tai said just now has indeed caught the weakness of Qiqu Pavilion. The status of craftsmen in this era is very low. Li Erzi will not refuse Li Tai’s plea because of a group of craftsmen. The foundation of Quge will be shaken. Even though Li Zexuan has countless profitable inventions in his head, it is useless if there is no craftsman. The Quge will be of great importance in the future. Li Zexuan will never allow such things to happen. This trick of the little fat man is really cruel.
Li Zexuan's mind turned sharply. Since the hard is not good, then the soft one can only come. This Wei Wang made things difficult for him today because of a book of "Journey to the West". It can be seen that he still has some children's dispositions, and it is said that Li Tai is full of talents and extremely arrogant. Li Zexuan suddenly made a living and laughed:
"I can write a book to His Highness, but I have heard that His Highness is very knowledgeable and proficient in calligraphy, painting, scripture and arithmetic. I wonder if Your Highness can answer the few questions of Xiaomin?"
Li Tai heard Li Zexuan praise him as a flower, and a trace of triumph flashed across his face. This is where his prince Li Taibi is awesome, full of talent, so Li Ercai is quite spoiled for him. When he heard Li Zexuan asking him to answer the question, Li Tai frowned. Even though he was only a good man, he knew what questions Li Zexuan would ask. He was not stupid. Why did he agree? Now he has an absolute advantage. , There is really no need for extravagance.
"Why should this king answer your question?" Li Tai looked arrogant.
This little fat man is not old, he is quite smart, Li Zexuan guessed that he would not agree so easily, and smiled with his hand:
"If your Royal Highness insists on forcing me to write a story, even if I do, what I write will definitely not be as exciting as "Journey to the West", and what your Royal Highness reads is not enough. Why not, I have ten questions, as long as Your Highness If I can answer one of them, I am willing to write a book for His Highness for three years without any salary, and the story written is more exciting than "Journey to the West". But if His Highness Wei can't answer any of them, I ask His Highness not to come again in the future I am embarrassed by Qiquge, how?"
Contempt, this is naked contempt. Even if Li Tai knows Li Zexuan’s problems in his heart, he will definitely make things difficult~IndoMTL.com~ But he is so arrogant and talented, how could he not answer even one of ten questions, Li Zexuan Successfully angered him. Moreover, what Li Zexuan said in the first half of the sentence is true. Even if he threatens Li Zexuan with power to write him a story, but if Li Zexuan is unwilling, the story written is definitely not good, then what he did is not without Makes sense.
"Okay, then it’s settled. If you lose, you have to write a three-year story for the king. But the questions you ask must be answered, otherwise you don’t count."
Although Li Tai was irritated, he still retains the most basic sense. If Li Zexuan asks questions that have no answers, such as how many hairs a person has on his head, how can he answer them?
Hey, this little fat guy doesn't know that Dao is one foot high, Demon is one foot high, and he is still too tender. Li Zexuan nodded altogether and agreed:
"Of course, how can Xiaomin dare to make things difficult for Your Highness maliciously."
Lan'er pulled Li Zexuan's arm worriedly at this time, Li Zexuan smiled at her, shook his head, and said that it was all right, let her not worry. He is a person who has experienced the information explosion era in the 21st century, and he just finds a few partial questions, and he does not believe that this little fat man can answer it!
Li Tai nodded in satisfaction, greeted the guards behind him, and brought him a stool. After standing for so long, he was a little tired. He sat on the stool beautifully, raised his chin at Li Zexuan, and said:
"In this case, if you have any questions, hurry up and ask, I am anxious to ask you to write a story for me, haha!"
Li Tai has the winning ticket, he is confident that he will not lose, and he feels a little happy when he thinks of seeing a better story than Journey to the West in the future.
However, he didn't expect that he was about to be abused and suspected of life.
