Li Shimin was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately patted Li Jue's head with a smile.

"Good boy!"

"You won't let me call you Grandpa for nothing. You can tell Grandpa whatever you want, and Grandpa will definitely grant it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue secretly rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "I want to be emperor, how can you, you old geezer, satisfy that?"

"This junior has no great ambitions. I only wish to live as an ordinary citizen and die of old age in Chang'an..."

"Oh oh oh..."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's heart stirred. Could it be that this child truly did not want to suffer in Qianzhou, and thus ran back to Chang'an?

But Qianzhou isn't that bad, is it?

Although Qianzhou is a place of exile, he is my grandson. His food, clothing and daily necessities are taken care of by the government, and he has servants to serve him. It is much better than selling things on the street and earning a meager living.

Li Shimin had too many doubts in his heart, but the Hundred Cavalry Commandery he had sent to Qianzhou to investigate had not returned. Even if he had a thousand questions, he could only suppress them in his heart.

"Since you call me Old Man Li, then may I call you Grandson?"

When Li Jue heard this, the way he looked at Li Shimin changed. He thought to himself, "Is this old man out of his mind? Why does he call people 'grandson' all the time?"

"not good!"

"I haven't eaten your food, and I won't inherit your estate in the future, so why should I be your grandson for nothing!"

"Uh..."

Li Shimin was taken aback by Li Jue's retort, then burst into laughter.

"If you want a share of the inheritance, I'm not unwilling to give you some, but you have to make me happy first, hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Li Jue couldn't help but curiously examine the old man in front of him.

"May I ask how much wealth Mr. Li possesses?"

"My family doesn't have much wealth, but I still have tens of thousands of strings of cash."

"Only tens of thousands of strings of cash..."

"I am not very talented, but if you give me a few years, I can easily earn tens of thousands of strings of cash."

"Therefore, let Old Man Li leave his property to his children and grandchildren; the younger generation will not covet it."

Li Shimin was amused by Li Jue's boastful words, thinking to himself that this child was too arrogant, not even caring about tens of thousands of strings of cash.

"Young man, you really are fearless! Do you know how difficult it is to make money in the Tang Dynasty?"

"An ordinary farmer can only earn a few strings of cash all year round."

"With such immense wealth, they would be considered a wealthy family even in Chang'an!"

Li Jue smiled dismissively upon hearing this. Making money might be difficult for others, but for him, it was as easy as eating and drinking.

If he weren't afraid of exposing himself, he could have amassed a fortune in the Tang Dynasty with just a single sugar candy!

"I may not have any other skills, but earning some copper coins is not a problem."

"By selling fried dough sticks?"

"Your fried dough stick business may be profitable, but it's probably not easy for you to amass a fortune, is it?"
