Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Hearing Li Ke's request, the guy was immediately frightened, and hurriedly bowed in embarrassment to beg for mercy.

"Your Highness, I'm just a boy in the store, I really can't be the master of this."

At this time, after hearing Li Ke's words, those generals shook their heads and clasped their hands again and again, "Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"We appreciate your kindness. Thank you so much, I am very grateful."

"But the wine really doesn't need to bother His Highness so much..."

Before they finished speaking, Li Ke waved his hand very proudly, "Oh?!"

"You guys don't need to talk anymore."

"Today, the king has made up his mind, so he must punish this black shop!"

"You are all good men who opened up the territory of my Tang Dynasty. This king will never allow such unscrupulous profiteers to bully you."

At this time of chaos, Li Qiu also happened to return to the shop from the back house.

After listening to the brief introduction, Li Qiu also came up to him and respectfully saluted Shu King Li Ke.

"Li Qiu, I have met His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

At this moment, Li Ke gave him a cold look, "Are you the owner of this store?"

"It's also you who sold this wine at Doujiu Wanwen's unscrupulous price?"

"Hmph, I really ate the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!"

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, quickly take out all the wine here, and let the soldiers outside have a good drink."

"Otherwise, I don't think there is any need for your store to continue."

After finishing speaking, Li Ke turned around again with pride, and waved to a large group of people outside very friendly.

"Today, I, King of Shu, Li Ke, invites you all to have a drink. Let everyone drink enough to shoot Sirius. You must not be polite."

The common people and soldiers watching the bustle outside did not know what was going on inside. Once they heard that His Royal Highness the King of Shu wanted to treat guests, would it be enough to invite everyone to drink?

Naturally, the crowd was excited and overjoyed. They bowed and saluted again and again, shouting words such as "Thank you, Your Highness, King Shu", "Thank you, Your Highness, King Shu", "Your Highness, King Shu, is kind and generous".

But it made Li Ke feel so good in his heart, and he couldn't be more happy than being generous to others and gaining a good reputation for himself is such a cheap thing.

Seeing Li Ke like this, Li Qiu couldn't help frowning slightly.

Why does what the King of Shu Li Ke said to him just now sound a little weird?

"Uh, back to His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

"There are two and a half buckets of Shetianlang wine in the small shop, and each bucket is ten thousand, totaling [-] wen."

"I'll give His Royal Highness a [-]% discount, [-] Wen per jar of wine."

"I don't know how many altars His Highness will bring up first?"

"Looking at the number of people outside, if they drink enough, I'm afraid it will take more than fifty altars..."

Chapter 13 Oh!What a majestic King of Shu!

Before Li Qiu finished speaking, Li Ke's eyes on the other side were about to burst into flames.

A jar of wine costs 20 Wen, [-] taels of silver.

Fifty altars of wine are worth 1000 taels of silver and one hundred taels of gold.

Even if he was a prince with his own fief and salary, it would not be so easy for him to take out 100 taels of gold all at once.

And even if you really took out this money, you have to spend it wisely, can't you come to buy your sky-high price black heart bar?

"Shut up!"

"Are you a black-hearted profiteer, are you crazy? How dare you ask for money from King Hei Ben?!"

"The king came here today to punish you, an unscrupulous profiteer, for these soldiers and the common people."

"If you know what's interesting, just obediently open the barn and release the wine, and let's just pay it off."

"Otherwise, you don't want to open this shop, and this king will punish you!"

Hearing his words, Li Qiu at this moment finally understood.

Ganqing's grandson wanted to be generous to others, let him offer wine for free, and then he harvested favors there.

All the good things in this world are left to you alone, right?

Ever since, Li Qiu sneered in his heart, with a humble attitude on the surface, saluting Li Ke neither humble nor overbearing.

"May I ask His Highness the King of Shu, what His Highness said, my small shop and Sky Wolf are black-hearted, what evidence is there for being a profiteer?"

Li Ke snorted coldly, "The best wine on the market is only three hundred yuan a bucket, but here you sell it for a bucket of ten thousand."

"This king said that you are a black heart, a profiteer, can you still be wrong?"

Li Qiu sneered in his heart, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Returning to Your Highness, the small shop has always done business without deception, and there has never been any talk of buying and selling by force."

"Shooting Sirius wine is expensive to brew, and it is the only one in the world."

"If a guest wants to drink this wine, the price will be ten thousand."

"If it's too expensive, you can go to other places to buy Doujiu for three hundred or one hundred."

"There is a saying in ancient books that a good businessman does not compete with others for business, but is in charge of time..."

Before Li Qiu finished speaking, Li Ke directly interrupted his words in an extremely angry manner.

He just stared at Li Qiu with incomparably sharp eyes, word by word, and lowered his voice to ask viciously: "Stop talking nonsense."

"I just want to ask you one thing today, this wine, do you want to offer it or not?!"

Li Qiu felt contemptuous in his heart, and smiled and rewarded him with a soft nail, "Return to Your Highness."

"Each pot of wine is [-] Wen, and the shop will give out as much wine as your Highness will give."

"If you don't take the money, you have no wine to drink."

"you!"

After hearing Li Qiu's words, Li Ke almost ran away on the spot.

It never occurred to him that he was the third prince of golden branches and jade leaves, His Highness the King of Shu.

How dare this little merchant not sell his face? !

Is this person crazy? !

Seeing that Li Qiu categorically rejected Li Ke's request without losing any face, the subordinates beside Li Ke lowered their voices and reprimanded him one after another.

Threats and intimidation, all kinds of methods are used.

"How bold!"

"You don't even open your dog eyes to see, who are you talking to at this moment?"

"Are you tired of living?"

"Hurry up and take out your wine, and apologize to His Royal Highness the King of Shu..."

Just when there was a small episode on their side, the people inside and outside the store, as well as the whole scene, also changed greatly.

At first, Li Ke, king of Shu, promised to invite everyone to drink and shoot Sirius.

Naturally, everyone was overjoyed and crowded towards the store, for fear of being slow.

At the same time, the news spread like a hurricane, and more and more people came to hear the news.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see the slightest intention to let the wine go. He only saw Li Ke, king of Shu, and his group surrounding Li Qiu aggressively and scolding him.

Some soldiers and civilians who were close to each other frowned after hearing what they were talking about.

"Oh? Didn't we agree that His Highness the King of Shu paid us all to drink?"

"Why have you been making trouble for a long time? His Highness the King of Shu is threatening Mr. Li to offer wine for everyone to drink for free?"

"How can there be such a reason in the world?"

Soon, their doubts spread outside the store and became known to more people.

The next moment, it was almost one-sided, and all voices were on Li Qiu's side.

"What does the King of Shu mean?"

"If you really have the heart, you can spend your own money to buy everyone a drink."

"But you didn't take any money, but forced Li Xiaoge to offer wine for nothing. Could it be that Li Xiaoge didn't need to spend money to brew this wine, because it was blown by the strong wind?"

"Could it be that Brother Li and these guys in the store don't want to make money or eat?"

"That's right, that's right, besides, Mr. Li often gives us drinks on weekdays."

"If that's the case, I'd rather not drink."

"Our Highness the King of Shu is too thick-skinned, isn't it?"

"Looking at his appearance when he agreed to buy us a drink, I thought he was such a bold person."

"As a result, tsk tsk, this character is too..."

"Haha, look at what he called a black-hearted profiteer."

"Brother Li and this small shop have done a lot of good deeds on weekdays, helping the neighbors."

"If anyone's family is sick and lacks money to buy medicine, Brother Li will borrow the money."

"That's right, Mr. Li's store usually charges us bamboo sticks, bamboo charcoal, and mutton at a higher price than other people's."

"Young Master Li is a very good man."

"Just look at these children, which one isn't Brother Li Qiu talking about it every day?"

With the one-sided public opinion, huge pressure was photographed on Shu Wang Li Ke and his party in an instant.

Even in his dreams, Li Ke couldn't figure it out. Just such a black-hearted profiteer who can sell wine for a bucket of ten thousand dollars, all the people and soldiers around him are still speaking for him?

This is simply unreasonable! !

Seeing the situation getting more and more wrong, Li Ke's anger soared.

Right now, no matter what, he can't just leave in a disheartened manner. Wouldn't he be laughed to death in that case?

All of this was due to the damn young merchant in front of him.

So, Li Ke gritted his teeth, "Why do you keep such black-hearted profiteers and shops?"

"Come on, give me his shop!"

"As for this unscrupulous profiteer, just beat him to death!"

In ancient times, the status of merchants was extremely low, not to mention the lowest level.

In the eyes of Li Ke, king of Shu, Li Qiu at this time is just an ant who doesn't know how to advance, retreat, or die.

Following his order, the subordinates and guards around him also shot out with anger.

While cursing and smashing things, a few of them came straight to Li Qiu, determined to beat up this merchant severely, and express their anger at His Royal Highness the King of Shu.

The worse they beat Li Qiu, the more brilliant he was in the eyes of His Highness the King of Shu.

Chapter 14

Just when these guards had fierce eyes and rushed towards Li Qiu in a menacing manner, Li Qiu's whole body was murderous and introverted.

Angry in his heart, he was also thinking quickly, if he killed these guards as quickly as possible, and then screwed off the head of Shu King Li Ke, would there be enough time left to escape from Chang'an City?

Given my current position, which city gate would be easier to run out of?

Just as several of Li Ke's guards were about to approach, Li Qiu's body had already fully charged and was ready to explode.

The previous generals suddenly stood in front of Li Qiu and protected him.

Their sudden actions stunned Li Qiu, Li Ke, and the guards.

"His Royal Highness, please spare Mr. Li."

"This shot of Sirius is indeed a rare good wine in the world, and no one thinks that the price of this wine is expensive."
