Chapter 673 We can learn from Li You
"Emperor Brother...!" Li Yan took a glass of wine and looked at Li Ke on the side and said, "Can we fight for each other, not just for ourselves and mother's mother? She is too bitter... The palace is cold, and we will leave a year later. At that time, I don't know when we will meet, and mother's mother can only live in loneliness."
"Warning...how to fight?" Li Ke asked in surprise as he looked at Li Yan.
"You know... haven't you and Master Cen been competing all the time... But I don't think you are working hard enough. Look at Li You, we can learn from him..."
"Learn from Li You..." Li Ke looked at Li Yan with some surprise.
"Yes...!" Li Yan nodded: "Li You has an army, business, and supports the army with business. This time Yin Fei can leave the palace. In addition to the prince's guarantee, I think it should be more of Li You's strength.
The Hu Ben Guard has the first-class combat power, and the two fangs owned by Li You are also very strong in business. He used his financial resources to send mutton dumplings to the front line, repairing the streets and ditches of Chang'an... Let the father be impressed, and this is also his strength.
So I think we can learn from Li You and build a business that belongs to us in Chang'an in one year...!"
"Silly brother..." Li Ke shook his head slightly and said, "We can't learn Li You's trick, and we can't interfere with the things he produces.
The profit is huge. If we want to experience our own business, we can build it, but without so much profit, everything is still empty. It can be said that Li You’s path cannot be copied."
"But..." Li Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "What if we can get Li You's products..."
Li Yan's words surprised Li Ke: "Brother, what did you say..."
At this time, Li Yan showed a faint smile.

The next morning, Li You took Li Zhi and Li Mingda erected a long rod in his yard early, and a long strip of cloth hung on the long rod. This is the predecessor of the carp flag in the island country. The higher the hang, the more the family in the family will be healthy this year.
Then, I entered the house to highlight the pepper wine, to drive away cold and dampness, replace it with a new "evil-proof" peach talisman, and welcome the new year in peace and happiness.
Today, the officials of the Tang Dynasty were even more happy and immersed in their vacation period. Yuanzheng's vacation was one of the longest holidays for officials. They did not have to worry about state affairs, and spent a period of leisure time while drinking, singing, and reciprocating with relatives and friends.
Fang Xuanling sent him a letter to his friend who was far away in Luoyang City, expressing his longing for this old friend, which made Fang Xuanling feel so sad and even drink continuously to relieve his longing.
If it were last year, the busiest day would be the emperor. According to the provisions of etiquette and law, the emperor would hold a grand ceremony on the day of Yuanzheng, summon civil and military officials in the main hall, and meet with envoys sent by local governments and envoys from various countries. The envoys brought the emperor rare treasures from all over the world, and the emperor would also give rewards to show that the emperor was so generous that he could be loved by the nine provinces.
After the grand court meeting, the emperor also held a grand furnishing. This grand furnishing was to display the "national weapons" that could display the national body of the Tang Dynasty in the main hall. The provincial capital of the hall, which manages the affairs of the palace, exhibited the most precious treasures of all dynasties in the hall to show the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.
But this year, Li Shimin was not in Chang'an, so these things were saved directly, and all the officials lived a more comfortable life.
However, Li Shimin finally issued an order to promulgate a general amnesty... Although there is not a general amnesty in the world every year, the Tang Dynasty was still the most frequent dynasty in Chinese history.
After the general amnesty was promulgated, except for some prisoners who were extremely guilty and could not be pardoned, most prisoners could go home to reunite with their families and start a new life. This is the humanity of the Tang Dynasty and the grace of the Tang Dynasty.
The next morning, Li You took Li Zhi and Li Mingda to the street together. When he saw Li You, Li Mingda and Li Zhi, all bowed and said auspicious words, which were basically "blessing to extend the new day, and celebrated the longevity without boundaries".
Of course, there are some rules today. For example, if you don’t throw garbage out of your home today, it will cause you to lose your property. If you use a broken broom, throw it into the yard and “the yard” fire when the hour comes, it will “make the warehouse worthy of the warehouse”. Torn shoes should be dug a hole in the yard and buried, and the family will have a "son of the seal (son of the official)".
Today's Chang'an is also a happy day for Buddhist rituals, and many temples will talk about it today.
Common sayings are that they use popular singing to attract scholars and common people and spread the mystery of Buddhist scriptures. The New Year’s lectures include the "Avatamsaka Sutra" and the "Lotus Sutra". Wen Xu, a master of Huichang Temple, was considered the first person to be a common saying in Chang'an City at that time.
At this time, many good men and women will go to the temple to listen to the common sayings. As the great masters chant the sutras, they feel the supreme beauty of the Buddha's kingdom in the Nine Heavens, and amazed at the many miracles of doing good deeds and accumulating virtues.
Li You did nothing today, just stayed at home with his family, and then he wanted to accept New Year's greetings from some acquaintances, such as Tang Jian, Cui family, and some people who are closer to him, such as Liu Dageng...!
These people will come to pay New Year's greetings today, and Li You have prepared red envelopes and food... At this time, the entire Tang Dynasty Chang'an was actually ready, because the people were rich in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and even the way of celebrating the New Year seemed generous. On the New Year's Day, every household in Chang'an City had a banquet, and guests would eat wherever they went, and the hosts would generally not be stingy. Therefore, no matter who the Tang Dynasty people paid New Year's greetings to, they had delicious food to enjoy.
However, at this time of celebration, something that was unfavorable to Li You was going on in a seemingly bright but very dark place.
This is a thatched hut by the water. There are a few willows next to the house. An old man was wearing a straw raincoat and was fishing by the water. At this time, a man dressed in a guard came to the old man and sat down slowly.
"The ten thousand trump cards you want are on the carriage behind. As long as you can tell, you can drive the carriage away."
After hearing the guard's words, the old man showed a faint smile on his lips: "Yes...but I won't say what you want now. I need to bring this money away from here first. After following for three days, you will receive a letter from Fei Ge. At that time, you will know Li You's weakness."
"What if you run away with the money?" the guard frowned.
"Then you can ignore the news about Li You. Anyway, you want it. This is the transaction. I don't want you to kill me as soon as the transaction is over..." After saying that, the old man put away the fishing rod and said, "If I don't do it, I'll leave first."
I followed and prepared to leave, without any attachment at all.
There was no way, the guard's man stopped the old man and said, "Give it...I'll give it... But if you lied to me, I will definitely tear you into pieces."
Looking at the guard man, the old man smiled slightly: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the King of Shu."
