The three men were boasting around Qujiang Pool, and they not only planned out the land around Qujiang Pool, but also made the Furong Garden built on Qujiang Pool part of their tourist attraction.
However, when they tried to buy the land, they discovered that the land around Qujiang Pool had already been bestowed away by that foolish Emperor Li Er.
"A few distinguished guests are interested in buying land?"
"yes!"
"Sir, how much do you want?"
"What are you saying? We don't have any land..."
"Young man, to tell you the truth, apart from the land within Qujiang Pool, the surrounding area has long been owned!"
Whose is it?
"Your Highness, the Prince of Wei... Oh, it seems you've changed your name now, what's it again?"
"King Pu!"
"Yes, yes, that's the kind of king I'm talking about!"
Li Jue was extremely frustrated when he heard this. He never expected that the land he had his eye on actually belonged to his fourth uncle!
This truly means that under heaven, all land belongs to the king, and on the shores of the land, all people are his subjects!
The old man's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him, not only extinguishing Li Jue's plans for the Qujiang Scenic Area, but also extinguishing Xue Shisan and Shan Daozhen's ideas of taking advantage of the wealthy.
"Captain, why don't we focus on training our troops properly and then follow His Majesty to Liaodong to earn military merits?"
"With military merits, you can get anything you want, so why bother trying to make money?"
This is the mainstream ideology in Guanzhong. Ever since Shang Yang implemented reforms in the Guanzhong region, Guanzhong has always implemented a system of awarding titles based on military merit.
Regardless of the changes in dynasties, the military system in the Guanzhong region remained almost unchanged, only continuously strengthened and improved based on the system of awarding titles based on military merit.
This also created the Guanzhong army's powerful combat effectiveness and execution capabilities, which was Li Er's reliance on Guanzhong to sweep across the world and eventually establish the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the people of Guanzhong are preoccupied with the entire path of fighting, making merits, receiving rewards, and becoming officials.
But Li Jue was different from them. He knew that the Zhenguan era was the last glorious period for the Fubing (a type of military service). As long as Li Shimin was gone and Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi ascended the throne, the Fubing would not be a glorious job, but a miserable one that everyone would avoid at all costs.
Imagine what it would be like to spend your whole life stationed in Gaochang or Dunhuang in the Western Regions.
Li Jue, in any case, didn't want to live that kind of life!
Let's go!
"Since buying the land isn't an option, let's think of other ways!"
"promise!"
Disappointed, Li Jue and his two companions returned to Xianyang. Xue Shisan and Shan Daozhen went directly to the Zhechong Prefecture, while Li Jue listlessly squatted in the courtyard, pondering new ways to make money.
Actually, he is not short of money right now; he hasn't even touched the six or seven thousand strings of cash that Master Mu and Master Yu gave him as a reward.
In addition, the central kitchen and the sale of recipes for fried dough sticks and soy milk can bring him an income of ten or twenty strings of cash every day.
As for the rent and tax income from Sanglin Manor and the former farms and fields of Princess Changsha, it was even more, enough for him to live off it for the rest of his life.
As a time traveler, how could he be content without making a splash in the Tang Dynasty?
Si Zi had just finished learning medicine from Sun Simiao and returned to the yard with the kitten when he saw his nephew sitting in the yard in a daze.
This is a very rare sight. Ever since my nephew became a lowly military officer, he has been so busy that he doesn't even have time to practice calligraphy!
Si Zi finally caught up with his eldest nephew and immediately took out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, intending to urge him to practice calligraphy diligently.
However, instead of resisting, the nephew mechanically picked up his pen and stood in the yard, obediently practicing.
This greatly surprised Si Zi, who quickly touched Li Jue's forehead.
"You don't have a fever!"
"Nephew, you don't seem to be in a good mood today. Is something bothering you?"
"No..."
"Nephew, aren't you going to tell me the truth?"
"Your little secret is written all over your face, like someone owes you millions..."
When Li Jue heard his aunt say that, he immediately made a face and said.
"Someone does owe me millions of dollars!"
"oh?"
"Tell your aunt properly who dares to owe my nephew money!"
“Auntie, I originally wanted to buy the land around Qujiangli and build a tourist scenic area. But who would have thought that Li Er had already given it away, making my trip a waste of time…”
Who is Li Er?
Si Zi was stunned when she first heard Li Er, but she quickly realized what was happening and glared at Li Jue.
"How dare you!"
"How dare you address His Majesty the current emperor as Li Er!"
"If your grandfather finds out, he'll definitely hang you up and beat you!"
Li Jue looked dejected upon hearing this.
"Go ahead and fight, as long as you don't kill me, I'll keep calling for Li Er!"
Si Zi was speechless upon hearing this. This child's resentment towards his grandfather was truly deep. He wondered what it would be like when his father recognized the child in the future. Would the child not acknowledge him as his grandfather?
"You really want the land in Qujiang?"
"Um……"
"If possible, I would also like the land in Qinglongfang..."
"It's just that land in the city is too expensive, I can't afford it, so I'm thinking of buying land in Qujiang..."
Where is Qinglongfang?
Si Zi rarely left the palace in his life and was not familiar with the various neighborhoods of Chang'an.
"Qinglongfang is located north of Qujiang Pool, near Zhuque Avenue..."
"Oh, I vaguely remember!"
"I think my aunt has a piece of land in Qinglongfang. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you!"
"ah?"
Li Jue's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he heard this. Was his aunt used to lying to children? There was no vacant land in Qinglongfang!
