Chapter 8, a clever person may also be a bit foolish
"Yes, I heard everything you just said to my royal sister," Li Tai still firmly held onto Li Zheng's sleeve
After speaking, he respectfully bowed, as treating others with courtesy is the first step. His shrewd little eyes were constantly observing Li Zheng
How can you be like this! The young girl stamped her foot in frustration
Is there a specific medicine for my mother's illness? In fact, my imperial sister also has similar symptoms. " Li Tai added, "It is the one who just got bullied by you and ran out crying.
Li Zheng scoffed disdainfully
Li Tai nodded and said, "This 50,000 guan is indeed too expensive. Can it be a bit cheaper?"
"Land? How much land do you need?" Li Tai asked tentatively.
The Tang Dynasty is indeed very poor
Li Zheng also said softly: "I just happen to have the special medicine"
Li Zheng said: "I will not easily sell my soul and body, still want to marry me? You wish!"
Thank you very much, Your Highness, King Wei
Li Zheng was given some useless wasteland, and even Li Tai felt a bit embarrassed
Li Tai then released his grip, "Medicine!"
Li Lizhi had never been spoken to in such a manner within the palace; it was the first time she had felt such grievance, yet she found herself powerless to do anything about it
Li Lizhi suppressed her sobs, "I ... ... "
Having thought this through, Li Tai said: "I am familiar with the land near Jingyang. Aside from the arable land, the other plots are not considered good. Are you sure you want all of it?"
The land surrounding Jingyang cannot be considered good; there are only a few hundred acres suitable for cultivation, and this land is not worth much. Moreover, Li Zhengben is the magistrate of Jingyang, and if he could cure the Empress Dowager's illness, it would not be unreasonable.
Upon leaving the medical clinic, Li Tai sighed and lamented, "Although he is indeed a talent, it is a pity that he is such a fool"
There are no more medicines," Li Zheng said
Li Zheng stared at Li Tai's chubby face and said: "You fat fool, are you trying to swindle me?"
"Alright, alright, thank you, Your Highness Wei Wang." Li Zheng nodded happily
Li Tai smiled awkwardly and said, "That just now was my royal sister."
I want it all. " Li Zheng nodded
The current Princess Chang, Li Lizhi? Li Zheng suddenly came to his senses, "Princess Changle?"
A group of guards drew their swords, "How dare you be disrespectful to the princess!"
The two individuals signed and sealed the document, and Li Tai scrutinized the medicine that Li Zheng had referred to, asking: "How should this medicine be taken?"
It was as if I had treated her lightly, even though I had done nothing at all
The prodigy mentioned in this rumor is actually the same age as myself
Standing still, she was about to burst into tears
Li Zheng glared at the other person who was tugging at his sleeve and said, "Let go, you fatso, you're going to tear my clothes."
A group of people walked in from outside, led by a chubby little boy. Upon seeing the crying little girl, he asked, "Your Highness, what are you doing here?"
"No money, is that so?" Li Zhengqing cleared his throat and said, "Then let's exchange it for land."
It is not a panacea; it is a targeted remedy for specific symptoms, Li Zheng emphasized
"What a coincidence, what a coincidence, it truly is a coincidence," Li Tai said to Li Zheng, "I swear to the heavens that there was absolutely no prior arrangement; I too have come seeking medicine."
A group of guards observed the current King Wei, Li Tai, and the magistrate of Jingyang, appearing quite similar in stature, yet the whispered conversation between the two men was indeed somewhat inappropriate
Seeing Li Zheng in difficulty, Li Tai said again: "You need not worry too much; our father, the Emperor, is benevolent. It is likely that our elder sister has left the palace on her own accord, and I can also assist you in explaining this matter."
"Well, Brother Li Zheng, how about I allocate all the wasteland near Jingyang County to you? After all, no one else wants it," Li Tai said softly
Li Tai smiled and said: "Surely this is the magistrate of Jingyang, Li Zheng. I am Wei Wang Li Tai"
Li Tai once again scrutinized Li Zheng, who was said to be quite intelligent but somewhat foolish
Li Zheng? Empress Changsun has heard of this name, which is said to belong to a very young prodigy who unraveled the situation at the Yinshan battlefield and also deciphered the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art
Could it be true, as rumored outside, that this Li Zhengren is quite clever but somewhat foolish
Just returning from a meeting at the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin happened to witness this scene. Hearing Li Tai's words, he asked, "Qingque, have you visited Li Zheng?"
After securing the medicine and signing the contract, Li Tai always felt that this deal was too unprofitable for Li Zheng
Allocate all the land of several villages surrounding Jingyang to me
This little chubby boy is dressed very extravagantly, clearly indicating that he comes from a wealthy background, though he does appear a bit greasy
Her blushing appearance suggested that it took a great deal of courage for her to say such words
"Very well, give me the medicine," Li Tai said as he reached out.
First, there was a princess engaging in deceit, then there was King Wei trying to swindle me. Indeed, there are no good people in this great Tang dynasty. I shall take my leave and head beyond the borders, it seems I cannot treat the current empress after all
Returning to the palace, Li Tai presented the medicine to the current Empress, "Mother, this is the medicine I obtained from Li Zheng."
What princess?! Li Zheng was also anxious
Placed on the table, Li Zheng said to Li Tai: "Sign and seal, no one is allowed to back out."
Li Taisheng laughed strangely and said, "Am I that kind of person? The magistrate of Jingyang has misunderstood me."
Without mentioning what he intends to do with so much, how much good farmland can fifty thousand guan buy? Isn't this clearly a losing deal?
Li Tai straightened his clothes and said: "You didn't bully her, so why is the princess crying"
Indeed," Li Tai exclaimed, "My imperial sister is the apple of our father's eye; you have caused trouble, great trouble.
Seeing Li Zheng looking dejected and about to leave, Li Tai quickly said: "I have known Brother Li Zheng for a long time, how could I possibly mislead you? It was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
What is the miraculous remedy of a special drug? Li Tai asked again
"What are you laughing at?" the little girl said, annoyed and embarrassed
Li Zheng held his forehead and said, "Wait a moment, I am a bit confused right now, let me sort this out."
Li Zheng said, "I did not bully her"
Misunderstanding? I see that you are responding to each other quite well, clearly indicating that you came prepared.
Adjusting his collar, Li Zheng said to him: "Do you have money?"
"Please wait." Li Zheng arrived at a small room in the inn, taking out a bottle of loquat syrup and an inhaler filled with medication from the system.
As she was speaking, she suddenly turned and ran away, crying like a weeping pear blossom.
The black one is loquat syrup, which is taken by the spoonful after meals. Additionally, there are six inhalers here... After Li Zheng explained the usage method to him for quite a while, Li Tai finally understood
"You're welcome." Li Tai looked at Li Zheng and asked softly, "I would like to ask, did you really cure Du Ruhui's illness?"
Li Zheng, unafraid of the boiling water, said: "If you don't want to go home, let your family come here. Besides, I cured your mother's illness, and you still want me to marry you. Isn't this a case of ingratitude?"
What is the concept of fifty thousand guan? It would require a cartload of ox carts to transport it. Currently, the annual tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty is only three hundred thousand guan. In recent years, there have been disaster relief efforts and military campaigns, and the national treasury is nearly depleted. Even Li Tai himself has not had meat for quite some time.
Li Zheng stared blankly, still not having come to his senses
