On the way back to the village, Li Zhang sat on the tricycle and couldn't stop talking all the way, which made Xu Ping suspicious and asked him several times: "What good thing did my mother give you?"

Li Zhang shook his head every time: "I can't tell you this!"

The more Li Zhang didn't say it, the more Xu Ping wanted to know that he was tortured.

At this time, the sky was long, and when I saw Zhuangzi, the sun was still halfway in the sky.

Bypassing the village, I saw a row of horses tied to the trees in front of the gate, and the decorations of several horses were extremely luxurious, which Xu Ping had never seen before. Three people sat under the big tree in front of the village, enjoying the cool air with the wind in the hall. There were more than a dozen soldiers and servants scattered around, some serving three people, and some were standing leisurely.

Among the three, Li Yonghe and Guo Zi were known to Xu Ping. Another middle-aged official was not wearing official uniforms, wearing brocade robe, with a white face, three collar black beard, sword eyebrows and starry eyes. His demeanor was known to be flattered at first glance. This person should be Li Fangyu mentioned by Guo Zi and Li Yonghe, but Xu Ping dared not guess so. Who was that person? The son of the eldest princess, the defense made such a beautiful official, and the hierarchy brought by Xu Ping from his previous life, and he couldn't believe that such a person would come to his countryside village.

When he arrived in front of the village, Xu Chang stretched out his hand and shouted: "Stop!"

Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang pedaled backwards, and the tricycle stopped steadily.

At this time, more than a dozen people in front of the village were looking at this strange car. When they saw this scene, they were even more surprised. They never thought that there was such a magical thing in the world.

After getting off the car, Xu Ping and Li Zhang came to the three of them. Li Yonghe hurriedly stood up and introduced: "This one is Xu Ping, the owner of the small manor here mentioned earlier. I, Li Yonghe, have today, and it's all his fault. Next to it is the dog son Li Zhang, who lives in the village freely."

He said to Xu Ping again: "This is Taiwei Li Fangyu, come up and greet him!"

Xu Ping stepped forward to see the lee, wondering what this person did to his house.

Li Duanyi saw Xu Ping's appearance and smiled and said, "I drank the wine that Li Tiju brought from your house last night, and I felt it tasted very good. I am a good wine, so I came to your house to bother you for a night, ask for some wine, and go to do some business in the group pastoral department tomorrow morning. The master will not blame me for coming here uninvited, right?"

Xu Ping hurriedly said that he didn't dare and replied, "My family runs a restaurant, and there is all the wine in the village. The ability of the Taiwei to enjoy the glory is a blessing we cannot afford."

Guo Zi said on the side: "This little master is a wonderful person, and his ideas are endless. It's okay to drink this wine. I saw the fields in the farm he had renovated a few days ago and I thought about it for two days. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was of infinite use. I wanted to come and ask for advice after I had the opportunity."

Li Duanyi said: "Managing the land is a matter of Guo Jingshi, but it has nothing to do with me and Li Tiju. You can talk about it privately. But when it comes to my wonderful ideas, I think the car that the little master is riding in is also very interesting. Did you make it yourself?"

Xu Ping replied: "No, I'm free and made it out and sat and play."

He had long seen Li Duanyi staring at the tricycle with his eyes, and he was obviously interested.

Li Duanyi stood up and said, "The little master answered interestingly. Can I try this car?"

He spoke, who dared to say no?

Xu Ping said: "Even the Taiwei is sitting. However, this car has the skills to ride. I also have three farmers to serve the Taiwei. They are already well-equipped."

Li Duanyi said: "It's okay."

As he approached the car, his men hurried over to protect him and carefully helped him up.

As soon as she sat in the seat, Li Duanyi's body sank and his face immediately changed.

Xu Ping hurriedly said: "Taiwei is at ease. This seat is soft to prevent bumps."

Li Duanyi laughed loudly, covered up his embarrassment, and said to Xu Chang, who was holding the palm of his hand: "Get up!"

Xu Chang shouted: "Get up!"

Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang used their strength together, and the three wheels slowly started.

As a figure who grew up in the capital, the emperor has seen Xu Chang several times. However, they were all seen from afar through the crowds of people. It was the first time that he had come into contact with such a high-ranking royal official at such a close distance. He was inevitably nervous, firmly grasped the handlebars and circled the open space in front of the village gate.

After turning twice, Li Duanyi ordered to stop, and the tricycle stopped steadily in front of everyone, no matter what.

Getting out of the car, Li Duanyi watched the car again, and finally stopped and said to Xu Ping: "I like this car from the little owner. I don't know if I can give up? I will exchange it for 500 taels of silver!"

In this era, silver has not yet become a common currency. In addition to trade with other countries, most of them were rewarded by the ministers of the court, and wealthy nobles like Li Duanyi used them to show off. Therefore, the price of silver was not high, and at this time, about one tael of silver was worth a thousand cigarettes.

Li Duanyi said it was so bold that he was just willing to spend 500 stagnant of money.

Money can be made at any time, but Xu Ping spent a lot of effort to make this tricycle. Of course, he didn't want to sell it at a price of 500 jin. But Li Duanyi's identity is here. Since he opened his mouth, it was difficult to refuse, so he had to turn around and look at Li Yonghe.

Li Yonghe's face was as deep as water, without any expression.

Seeing Xu Ping hesitating, Li Duanyi couldn't help laughing: "Little owner, do you think five hundred taels of silver are too little?"

Xu Ping gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not hiding the Taiwei. If someone wanted to buy it normally, I wouldn't take action even if I gave me two thousand taels of silver!"

As for you, Li Duanyi, you should buy it yourself. Xu Ping wanted a high price and directly made Li Duanyi give up, or just tear off the mask and robbed it, so don't be too late here.

Li Duanyi laughed: "The little owner of the house is so angry! He wants to sell two thousand taels of silver for such a car! Could it be that it is made of gold?"

Xu Ping also took the initiative and simply said, "Does the Taiwei think I'm going to be inexpensive? Otherwise, I will lend you this car for two months. Even if the Taiwei goes to find a master craftsman, if he can use the capital of 2,000 taels of silver to make one, I will give it to you together!"

Seeing Xu Ping speaking seriously, Li Duanyi couldn't help but suspect that he had taken a look away, and walked to the car to take a look. After a while, he called Xu Ping to the front, pointed to a small brass part and said with a smile: "Little owner, there is something that is prohibited in your car!"

Xu Ping really thought steel was too troublesome, so he simply used brass instead, but unexpectedly, Li Duanyi found fault.

In the Song Dynasty, copper was banned, except for a limited number of utensils such as bronze mirrors, everything was banned, and of course brass was also included. This utensil was prohibited from buying and selling, but later it was banned from possessing, and even privately made utensils. When Emperor Zhenzong of the previous dynasty, someone recommended himself to the court, saying that there was a skill to use calamine to turn copper into calamine. The emperor's answer was that the world had already banned copper and calamine. What's the use of you enlightening it? Ignore him. As a result, after this, even the mining of calamine in Shaanxi was restricted. Xu Ping had already felt the trouble of buying calamine to refine brass these days. Fortunately, no one in the countryside took these bans seriously, and Xu Ping didn't take them much.

Xu Ping looked at the small part, shut up and said nothing. He said whatever he wanted, and said it out loud. This is just a matter of fine.

He had long seen something was wrong today.

Facing Li Duanyi, it is normal for Guo Zi to be neither humble nor arrogant. He was born in a Jinshi list, and his status was no longer ordinary after he became a famous scholar from Donghuamen. No matter how high Li Duanyi has a status, he is just a relative of the royal family and is not worthy of being favored by a Jinshi list.

Li Yonghe's attitude was wrong. He was lucky enough to get an official by relying on his relatives, but he had no outstanding talents and no big backer. He still had to flatter Li Duanyi when he saw Li Duanyi. As a result, Li Yonghe didn't talk or laugh today. Although he was not polite, he did not flatter Li Duanyi. How could this be normal?

Seeing Xu Ping's appearance, Li Duanyi turned around and looked at Li Yonghe who was not talking, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Little Manor, do you mean that I used this excuse to deceive you? You also despise me! I just told you that you can not take these seriously in the countryside. When you arrive in the capital one day, you will suffer! Fortunately, the stone you used is made of useful things, not luxurious, otherwise I wouldn't let you go like this! Two thousand taels are just two thousand taels, I will take someone back to get the silver taels, and you have tidied up the car."

After hearing this, Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, as if things were not what he thought.

Li Duanyi ignored him and turned around and said, "It's getting late. The little owner of the village got such a large sum of silver. Don't he hold a banquet to treat us to wine?"

Guo Zi also thought this was strange, but he couldn't say anything about this result.

Only Li Duanyi himself, and Li Yonghe, who really understood the mystery behind the matter, also guessed something more or less in his heart. This kind of thing happened just because Li Yonghe's identity was too special.

Li Duanyi was raised in the palace by the late emperor since childhood. Even though he was too old, he went to and from the palace like he was going back to his own home. What kind of palace secrets could be hidden from him? Including the most important state secrets of the Song Dynasty at this time.

The current emperor is not the Queen Mother's biological mother is a palace maid next to Queen Mother Liu, and Li Yong and his long-lost sister. It is precisely because of the emperor that the Queen Mother asked someone to find Li Yonghe and reward him for being an official.

Empress Dowager Liu was extremely powerful and hid the news. In addition to the most core people in this dynasty, there were also those with special identities like Li Duanyi, and even the emperor himself had no news. As for the birth of the empress dowager, the empress dowager Liu sent him to guard the tombs for the emperor since his death.

The same goes for the saying, the empress dowager always dies, and the emperor always wants to rule. At most, this kind of news is hidden until then. Mother-son family affection is human nature. If the emperor knew that his biological mother had such a fate, he could guess what he would do with his eyes closed.

It is definitely wrong to say that Empress Liu did not become Empress Lu Wu Zetian, but it is an exaggeration to say that she aims to be Wu Zetian because there is no such condition at all. The scholars and officials allowed her to say nothing because she was finally guarding the world for the Zhao surnamed. Whenever she showed signs of being Wu Zetian, she would not need foreign troops to clear the lords, and the eunuchs in the palace would take her down.

Today's government affairs maintain such a wonderful balance. Empress Dowager Liu is in power behind the curtain and is arrogant, but herself, she understands that the world will belong to the current emperor one day. Therefore, she must tolerate another empress dowager and Li Yonghe to avoid causing troubles after her death.

Those who know this secret leave a way out for themselves and dare not stick to the current empress dowager. When Li Duanyi has the opportunity, of course he has to make friends with Li Yonghe. So someone wants to borrow him to clean up the Ma family. Not only does he refuse, he also comes happily and pulls Li Yonghe up. Because he knows very well that the time comes, maybe just one night, the identity gap between him and Li Yonghe may be reversed.

The Xu family is Li Yonghe's life-saving benefactor, and is as close as a family. Offending the Xu family means offending Li Yonghe, and offending Li Yonghe means offending the empress dowager who guards the tomb in the bitter wind and rain. He offended the empress dowager and offended the current emperor to death. No matter how many lives they have, they are not enough to make ends meet.

Even the Ma family dared to expel Xu Zheng from the capital, and did not dare to do anything to death.
