Volume One Urgent Matter

Back on the carriage, Xiao Changle pouted and said, "Brother is lying."

She was considered sensible. When Li Chengqian was dealing with business, she was watching from the side without making any noise or making any fuss. However, when he returned to the carriage, she suddenly became unhappy.

She had not seen any of the strange things Li Chengqian mentioned before.

After riding in the carriage all day today, her bones were all falling apart, but as long as she didn't sleep, she would look out the window from time to time, and there was no such fun thing as her elder brother said.

"You silly girl, it's still early." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Take a rest today, and my brother will get you something fun tomorrow."

After dismissing the little brat, Li Chengqian opened the curtain and asked Zhao Yan, who was following the carriage, "Is everything going wrong in Jingyang?"

Since the nobles are already engaged in stopping people halfway, there must be no shortage of small tricks in the city.

Zhao Yan rode on the horse, cupped his hands and said, "It's because of your low position and incompetence."

"Okay, it has nothing to do with you." Li Chengqian could understand what was going on, "What is the specific situation?"

"The place to stay has been found, it's a private house." Zhao Yan said, "But after we inquired about it, we found that none of the grain merchants in the city were willing to sell grain in large quantities, and all the finished carriages were also purchased.

.”

Nodding, Li Chengqian lowered the curtain.

Li Chengqian did not expect such a thing, but it was not unacceptable.

As for the nobles, how can they bow to you with just a little favor?

If it were that simple, Li Shimin would have captured the nobles long ago.

As for the nobles reacting faster than them, this is normal.

A fast horse is definitely not comparable to a carriage. Moreover, even Zhao Yan and the others came to Jingyang on fast horses. Firstly, their top priority was to find a place to stay tonight. Secondly, they were not professional in this field.

After all, there are not many people around Li Chengqian who can control him now.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was thinking about something, Changle didn't bother him and just sat in the carriage thinking about some random things.

The carriage is not critical, the key is food.

There were nearly thirty people in their group, and each of them ate horse chews, which amounted to at least a hundred kilograms of grain a day.

I don’t know if Li Er did it on purpose or if he was negligent.

The copper coins and silk cloth were not given less, but they did not arrange much food, which gave Li Chengqian a headache now.

"Food, food." Li Chengqian shook his head and said nothing.

Sometimes, having too many people is troublesome.

If he were alone, he wouldn't have these worries right now. He could drive a carriage and load a hundred kilograms of grain, which would be enough for him to eat for a long time!

Of course, life will definitely not be as comfortable as it is now.

Just when Li Chengqian was thinking about how to solve the food problem, the carriage entered the city, turning east and west, and ended up where they were staying.

"Your Highness, we have arrived." Liu San shouted from outside the carriage.

Ever since he left Chang'an, Liu San had taken over the job of driving the carriage for Li Chengqian.

"Yes." In response, Li Chengqian led Chang Le out of the carriage.

At this time, the unitary hour was over and the sky was getting dark.

When he met Cui Hao earlier, Zhao Yan arranged for the carriage with several palace ladies to enter the city first.

At this moment, although it was dark, the whole house was bright.

At the door, there were two soldiers lined up on the left and right.

This makes people passing by always wonder what kind of big shot has come to their Jingyang.

"There are no people at the door." Li Chengqian said when he saw this scene.

Zhao Yan, who was following him, immediately said: "Your Highness..."

"Don't call him Your Highness from now on, just call him Young Master." Li Chengqian waved his hand and directly interrupted Zhao Yan's words.

Since he has devalued himself as a commoner in the Tai Chi Hall, no matter what Li Shimin's attitude is, he must maintain this attitude.

"Yes, Young Master." Zhao Yan bowed and said, "But if there is no one outside the door, if there is a thief who commits murder, we will not be able to absolve ourselves of the blame."

"Tell me, are you a fool?" Li Chengqian said speechlessly, "Who doesn't know I'm here when someone is arranged outside the door? Isn't that a living target? But you can't arrange people outside the door, nor can you inside the door?

You have to learn to be flexible, you know?”

Li Chengqian was speechless. He actually didn't like such guards, but there were many things he couldn't change, so he just let them go.

Of course, if this was in later generations, Li Chengqian would definitely like it.

Are you kidding me? Going out with more than 20 bodyguards and four good-looking maids to serve you is a big deal!

But in this day and age, to be honest, no matter how big the score is, he doesn’t know who to show it to...

No longer paying attention to the work arrangements of these soldiers, Li Chengqian directly led Chang Le to the hall.

Several palace maids had already arranged meals for the two of them.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the emphasis was still on sharing meals, but for Li Chengqian's brother and sister, he didn't care about this and said: "Put it on a low table (it is true that there was no such thing as a table in the Tang Dynasty, but the concept of a table did appear again...

...) Come on, Changle and I will have dinner together."

"Sir, this is not etiquette." said a palace maid, who had just been at the door.

Li Chengqian said coldly: "Then how about I have someone take you back and ask my mother to get me some ones with less rules?"

"My slaves don't dare." Several palace maids were frightened and knelt on the ground.

"Okay, hurry up." Li Chengqian had no intention of making fun of them.

After a day of hard work, Changle was also hungry, so it was business to fill his stomach quickly.

Li Chengqian didn't like the delicacies of the Tang Dynasty at all. The reason why he was still willing to eat them was just to satisfy his hunger.

Changle ate happily, it was the first time for her to eat at the same table with others, and the food was very fresh.

"Go and call Zhao Yan." After eating, Li Chengqian ordered again.

A palace maid immediately bowed and went out.

"Sir." After a moment, Zhao Yan came in.

Li Chengqian asked: "Can we buy food from ordinary people?"

"It's difficult." Zhao Yan shook his head and said, "Although the situation this year is pretty good, in the early years, the Guannai Road was hit by disasters almost every year. Now, even those who have a surplus of food this year do not dare to sell it."

Li Chengqian nodded, he understood this and understood it.

In fact, it is normal. After all, we have just come from an era when people were starving to death. Who doesn’t want to save some life-saving food for themselves?

He frowned slightly, it was not easy to do this.

Needless to say, those grain merchants were all members of the nobility, which is actually quite understandable.

Ordinary people, who has so much food? Only nobles have this ability.

In Chang'an, there are many big landowners. In the civil and military dynasties, who didn't have hundreds of acres of land?

Just leaving Chang'an City will cause trouble.
