Chapter Ninety-Eight: Deal, Daoist
The streets of Chang'an
A young man dressed as a Taoist priest appeared, with a hint of wisdom in his eyes, and at the same time seemed to have a lot of curiosity about Chang'an.
"Chang'an is located in the Guanzhong Plain, with fertile land and developed transportation. And Guanzhong is surrounded by mountains all around, which is called the true dragon's qi. ”
"A pattern of eight rivers surrounding Chang'an has been formed, with mountains and rivers nourishing the prosperity of Chang'an."
The young man kept whispering softly on his face, looking mysterious, walking around and looking, sighing from time to time, and occasionally smiling.
Let the people passing by think that this person seems to be a fool, and they all stay away from his side.
However, this young Taoist priest didn't care at all, and he didn't pay attention to other people's actions, and still went his own way.
......
The Imperial Study
"Yes, it's 20,000 stones."
Shu An's eyes flickered and he affirmed softly, he was not afraid that this move would affect their actions.
Because Li Shimin is destined to be unable to provide disaster relief to all places, there are countless people in those villages, and there will still be many displaced people pouring into Chang'an.
This is not something that can be changed by simple manpower, and it is very difficult to win the day if you want people to win the day in this era.
"I don't know how much money my father has?"
After being shocked, Li Shimin also calmed down and asked out loud, he didn't question the authenticity of these 20,000 stones.
For it is impossible for this father to lie on this issue, but the price needs to be negotiated.
"It's up to Your Majesty to set the price."
Facing Li Shimin's Wen Ri, Shu An showed a smile on his face and said, if he is allowed to speak, there will inevitably be some philistines.
If it is known to people who don't know the price of rice, there will be some loss to his reputation, and on top of this, Shu An naturally cherishes his feathers.
However, in Li Shimin's heart, there was a different situation, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, this father is really a good person.
Compared with those rice merchants who took the opportunity to raise prices, Shu An was too good to Li Shimin, and he let him set the price casually.
But it is precisely because of this that Li Shimin also knows that it is natural not to let this father suffer, after all, this father is his own person no matter how he counts it.
"One bucket is at the price of the previous normal five cents."
Li Shimin thought for a while and said slowly, in this way, his father would at least not suffer.
Shu An nodded and had no other objections, but he smiled slightly in his heart, his move to abdicate and advance played a lot of roles.
Even if it was only five cents, it also earned double the money for Shu An, and his cost was originally terrifyingly low.
After deciding what happened next, Li Shimin decided this matter.
After all, the drought has not yet hit on a large scale, so it has not made this emperor pay much attention, mainly because of the concealment of officials from all over the world.
......
Shu An did not return to the academy directly, but first returned to Shu Mansion, and if it didn't work, there was Wang Xuance, who could take a few classes instead of him.
"Laifu, hand over the first batch of grain to the hundred horsemen first."
"In addition, always pay attention to the changes in the Guanzhong area and report at any time."
.....
Shu An's eyes flickered and he murmured softly, if he remembered correctly, this drought was not so simple.
There is also a natural disaster, which is called the locust plague, so that there is no chance to gnaw on the bark and grass, and before the crossing, these two words are a little unfamiliar to him.
However, in this era, locusts represent a bad thing, the punishment of the emperor from heaven.
This time, the two disasters came together, which can be said to be enough to make many people in the entire era have some despair, and they can't help but fall into contemplation when they think of Shu An's face.
"Master, there is a Taoist who claims to know you and wants to ask to see you!"
At this moment, Shu Madhu hurriedly ran in and said loudly, there was something strange on his face.
Because there were rumors about his master in his early years, even he didn't dare to go beyond the Taoist in the slightest.
Shu An's face was slightly stunned, there was a Taoist who asked to see, if you count it, you haven't heard the word Taoist for more than 20 years.
"Let him in!"
Shu An's eyes showed a trace of memory and said, at the beginning of the crossing, he was quite confused and hesitant during that period of time.
So the first thing that comes to mind is to pray to the gods and Buddhas to stabilize their minds, but because they are born with a lack of good feelings for Buddhism.
His first choice was Taoism, so he did have been a Taoist priest for a while.
As for the rumors from the outside world, he naturally heard about it, but this is mainly the pot of the system, so Shu An naturally won't explain anything.
In this era, there are not too many restrictions on Taoist priests, but there are some ascetic old Taoist priests who are not married, and they are pure and have few desires.
That's why the world misunderstands that the real monk will not be until the establishment of the Quanzhen Sect in later generations, but at that time it should be the Yuan Dynasty.
After a while, Shu Maanhu came in with a young Taoist priest, but there was a trace of doubt on Shu An's face.
Because he didn't have much impression of the Taoist priest in front of him, after all, he had been in contact with the Taoist priest more than 20 years ago.
If he remembered correctly, if he counted it, it was estimated that this young Taoist priest had just been born at that time.
"Wait!"
After thinking of this, Shu An's face was a little strange, because he really had a child more than twenty years ago.
"Boy Li Chunfeng, meet Uncle Shi!"
After the young Taoist priest saw Shu An, his face showed a hint of excitement and said, his words were very respectful.
"It turned out to be Chunfeng, but it's okay if you don't know the teacher?"
Shu An completely realized after hearing this name, and couldn't help but say out loud.
"The master is still good, but I often hear the master hear it, and the master's skills are not inferior to him."
"Originally, Chunfeng wanted to come to Chang'an a few years ago, but the family teacher said that he would wait until the first year of Zhenguan to go out of the mountain."
"Chunfeng still had a lot of doubts before, it turned out that the family teacher was waiting for the master to return to Chang'an."
Li Chunfeng said very respectfully on his face, but the meaning in his words was very obvious, that is, his master let him take refuge in this uncle.
Shu An's face suddenly realized, no wonder he was still different before, why didn't he see a Taoist priest next to Li Shimin.
According to his memory, Li Chunfeng should have been out early, but he didn't expect to be influenced by himself.
Although it took a few more years to wait, after having your own relationship, it was completely worth the wait.
