Even someone of Mr. Li's status only spends about ten taels of silver a month.
"If Mr. Li can do it, then why can't they?"
Everyone was shocked to hear what Young Master Huang said.
Mr. Li only spends ten taels of silver a month?
Besides, how did you find out about this? You're not secretly investigating Mr. Li, are you?
Immediately, discussions arose throughout the inn.
"No way! Mr. Li only spends ten taels of silver a month, while the Ping An Inn makes a fortune every day!"
"It seems that's really the case. Didn't you guys notice that Mr. Li only has a few sets of clothes?"
"Moreover, the fan in Mr. Li's hand is also an ordinary one worth one tael of silver."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding martial arts practitioners looked at the speaker with strange expressions.
"How did you know?"
"Hey hey hey!"
The wandering swordsman scratched his head and chuckled, "I arrived at Ping An Inn quite early."
“At that time, the Ping'an Town, which was about a mile away, had not yet been built, so supplies were relatively scarce.”
"Plus, I was a little short of money at that time, so I got a batch of fans to sell."
"I figured that since Mr. Li liked to carry a folding fan, others would probably follow suit, but no one came to buy one."
"One day I was dozing off when someone came up to me and asked how much my fan cost."
"Without thinking, I said one or two taels of silver per fan. When I looked up, the fifty fans in front of me had disappeared."
"There is only one ingot of silver worth fifty taels left."
"No, then how do you know it was Mr. Li who bought your fan?"
Upon hearing this, the wandering swordsman blushed even more, and even secretly glanced at Li Chengqian on the high platform.
"I didn't have much money on hand, so I bought a batch of low-quality fans."
"In addition, due to improper storage, the fan ribs of that batch of fans all had some small cracks."
After he finished speaking, everyone immediately looked at the fan in Li Chengqian's hand.
There was indeed a crack on the fan, but it wasn't very noticeable when Mr. Li held it in his hand.
"How much did you spend on that batch of fans?"
"Five taels of silver."
""
I'm truly impressed. You dare to ask for one tael of silver for a handful of these? Five taels of silver for fifty, and you still sold them to Mr. Li.
You're really daring to sell!
Li Chengqian glanced at the situation below but didn't pay any attention.
At that time, this guy was so hungry that he was emaciated and was selling a batch of inferior fans using a tattered rag.
Fans are things used by scholars and literati; if someone were to buy one, they would go to a shop to buy a fine fan.
Even if he sells like that until he dies, no one will buy it.
It's worth mentioning, however, that even though this guy was destitute, he never thought of robbing or plundering.
With his martial arts skills, making some money would be easy for him, which is why Li Chengqian was willing to help him.
Recalling the past, Li Chengqian looked at Young Master Huang and smiled, "Congratulations! Congratulations!"
Seeing Li Chengqian congratulate him, Young Master Huang also became interested.
To be honest, I'm getting a little tired of being all alone.
Apart from the emperors of the six great dynasties who could speak to him on equal terms, there was no one else in the world who could speak to him like Li Chengqian.
Even though his strength had reached a level that was unattainable, their tone still carried a sense of respect.
They think carefully before they speak.
Consider whether saying this will be undignified or inappropriate.
Mr. Li, however, never hesitated to speak his mind, and he spoke of things like rebellion as if it were commonplace.
There was no attempt to hide anything about himself.
In this world, Mr. Li is probably the only person who can keep up with his own thoughts and be so free.
"Mr. Li, what brings you this joy?"
"Young Master Huang must have heard these words from Emperor Ming."
"So what?"
"If Emperor Ming understood the meaning of these words, based solely on those few sentences..."
"The Ming Dynasty can extend its national fortune by another hundred years."
"really?"
Young Master Huang's expression immediately turned to one of immense joy.
"Whether it is true or not is not up to you or me to decide; it is up to the people of the Ming Dynasty to decide."
After speaking, Li Chengqian looked at Huang Rong at the counter below.
"Girl, starting today, the price of all vegetables will be halved."
"Young Master Huang is from a wealthy and powerful family, so he probably wouldn't care about such a small amount."
Upon hearing this, Huang Rong's eyes immediately lit up.
"Mr. Li, isn't half a bit too little?"
"You can decide for yourself; you have to pay for things anyway."
"What if someone is so busy gathering intelligence that the vegetables delivered are not fresh or are too expensive?"
"Just slap him across the face. Who told him to be so careless when he was doing his job?"
Huang Rong: Oh?!
Got it, even a penny is still money.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot:
No way! We need to pay for our groceries, and besides, those are for our brothers' meals. What will we eat if you buy them?

After receiving Li Chengqian's authorization, Huang Rong was overjoyed.
I've always been responsible for my own meals at the Bamboo Grove Courtyard.
However, Huang Rong strongly resisted buying groceries because she had to go out early every morning.
The vegetables that other people bought didn't suit my taste.
Huang Rong was also troubled by this for a while at first.
However, after discovering these Imperial Guards, Huang Rong no longer had this problem.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Eastern Depot's spies didn't disguise themselves too much, and the martial arts practitioners and ordinary people knew that these vegetable sellers were descendants of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Of course, I wouldn't dare buy vegetables from them.
But I dare to do it!
The vegetables they sell are fresh and of good quality, and they're available anytime you go, which is incredibly convenient.
Now that Mr. Li has given his order, doesn't that mean I can openly and blatantly ask them what vegetables to sell tomorrow or the day after?
Li Chengqian picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked at Ren Qianxing, who was still bowing beside him.
“Master Ren, the Frost Sword in my hand is the one that went missing five hundred years ago.”
"I'm quite comfortable using these 27 weapons, so I probably won't give them to you. Besides, I don't want to cooperate with the Supreme Alliance."
"I'm not interested in the treasures of the game of life and death."
"However, if your Supreme Alliance can do me a small favor, I can show you the right path."
Upon hearing this, Ren Qianxing bent down even lower.
"I humbly request Mr. Li's guidance."
"Within the territory of your Supreme Alliance, there should be a Food God's Abode, and Sai Huatuo, one of the Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust, should also be within your territory."
"I recently formed a medical team, specifically for treating guests who were injured during inn activities."
"The others are fine, but it's highly unlikely that Sai Huatuo will come."
"This place is still quite far from the Supreme Alliance, and I'm too lazy to make the trip."
"I need the Supreme Alliance to bring these two people over; you don't need to worry about the rest."
After listening, Ren Qianxing immediately said, "Mr. Li, rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter properly."
Seeing that Ren Qianxing was so sensible, Li Chengqian smiled.
Regardless of Ren Qianxing's character, his efficiency in handling affairs and his manner of speaking are quite impressive.
No wonder Guan Yutian appreciated Ren Qianxing so much even though he didn't know Ren Qianxing was his son.
"Don't worry, we won't let your Supreme Alliance work for nothing."
"Although I won't give you the Frost Sword in my hand, I can tell you some of its little secrets."
"The Sword Master of Sword Forging City is forging a new Frostbite Sword. Although the time is ripe, some key elements are still missing."
"Without this key element, even if he obtains the Nine Dragon Stone, he cannot forge the Frost Sword."
"Bring these two people here, and I will tell you the secret of the Frost Sword."
