Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

When Wang De finished writing the contract and brought it over, Li Shen looked at it carefully.

He must sign the contract. What if he doesn't pay? He will have evidence and an explanation.

If all else fails, expose Dad and write about it in the newspaper. No family disgrace should be made public, but it can be made public for money.

The person Li Shen trusts the least now is not the aristocratic family or the gentry, but his own father.

"You haven't written this correctly. You haven't even mentioned Fourth Brother's weight."

Li Shen pointed at the contract and said to Wang De.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I don't know the weight of Your Highness Prince Wei." Wang De replied quickly.

"Just weigh it and you'll know." Li Shen said confidently.

"Weigh it?" Wang De was speechless. It's not an animal, why should I weigh it?

"Of course I have to weigh myself, otherwise how would I know if I've lost 50 pounds? If I say I haven't, then all my efforts would be in vain.

Since we are going to sign a contract, we should be more rigorous."

Li Shen said as a matter of course.

He wanted to stop his father from making any excuses.

"Hmph, if you want to weigh it, come and weigh it. I want to see what you are capable of."

Li Shimin snorted when he heard Li Shen's words. He knew that this rebellious son was on guard against him.

Soon a large scale was brought up.

"Fourth brother, come here and weigh yourself." Li Shen looked at Li Tai with a smile.

At this time, Li Tai was in the most painful and embarrassing situation. In public, in front of so many people, he was treated like an animal.

Did Old Ten do this on purpose?

But he had no choice. His father had spoken, so he couldn't not go.

This scale is similar to the beam scale Li Shen had in his previous life, the kind used when selling pigs in rural areas.

There is a hook on one end and a pole on the other end. This type of scale is used when weighing heavy weights.

The eunuchs helped tie Li Tai up with ropes and then hung him with hooks.

Four eunuchs carried the arm-thick wooden bar on their shoulders on both sides. Li Tai grabbed the rope and lifted his feet off the ground, while Wang De personally added the weights.

After both sides were balanced, Wang De signaled the eunuch to slowly put it down.

"How is it? How much does my fourth brother weigh?" Li Shen asked curiously. He couldn't understand the scale.

"This..." Wang De looked around and didn't say much, but came to Li Shimin and wrote it on the contract.

"Three hundred pounds!!!"

Li Shen shouted loudly when he saw the number.

This caused everyone in the hall to look at Li Tai frequently. Li Tai's face turned pale and he glared at Li Shen fiercely.

Wang De deliberately didn't say it out loud because he was afraid of embarrassing himself, but you actually shouted it out loud.

Are you afraid that others won't know, so you're shouting so loudly?

It's not Li Shen's fault. He was really surprised. He originally thought that Li Tai weighed only about 200 pounds, but he didn't expect him to weigh 300 pounds.

Is this the weight a human should have?

The pigs raised on his farm look just like this, right?

With this weight, it would not be a problem for Li Shen to lose 50 kilograms, let alone 100 kilograms. It would be too easy for such a large base.

If I skip two meals and then have diarrhea again, I'll probably lose five or six kilograms.

The main thing is whether Li Shen should consider the impact of losing weight too quickly on Li Tai.

Li Shimin was also a little surprised. His son actually weighed 300 pounds? No wonder Sun Simiao said that if Li Tai continued to gain weight, it would be very dangerous.

This weight is too big.

"Okay, then we'll sign the contract in duplicate. Starting from when Fourth Brother comes to our place, it'll be fifty kilograms per two months."

Li Shen signed his name on the contract.

"Qingque, please sign." Li Shimin said.

Huh? Li Shen was stunned, but he didn't say anything. Anyway, if you don't give me the money, I will use your son as a scapegoat.

Li Tai signed his name reluctantly. He always felt like he was signing a contract to sell himself.

"Hahaha, happy cooperation. Come on, Fourth Brother, let's have a drink."

Li Shen laughed heartily and then put the contract away.

I have nothing to do at home anyway, so this way I can not only make money but also torture this little fat boy, killing two birds with one stone.

Li Tai reluctantly drank a glass with Li Shen. He was wondering if Li Shen would tell others about his weight and let the whole city know about it.

What followed was naturally singing and laughter. Everyone clinked glasses and toasted each other, musicians played music and sang, and many concubines came out to dance.

The meal went very harmoniously, not as awkward as before.

After dinner, Li Shimin brought his sons to the second-floor platform, where a large glass greenhouse had been built.

Li Shen knew without thinking that this was custom-made glass from his own glass workshop, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry.

If so much glass were sold, it would fetch a lot of money.

The maid arranged the sockets and poured a cup of tea for everyone.

"Tell me about your time in Xizhou." Li Shimin leaned back in a rocking chair, covered with a blanket, holding a cup of tea and drinking it leisurely.

"My Lord, after arriving in Xizhou, I discovered that the local rebels were wreaking havoc and were constantly persecuting the local people.

So I ordered the encirclement and suppression to begin......"

Li Shen drank tea and began to tell his story, telling Li Shimin in detail about his experience in Xizhou.

The other brothers also listened and felt that Li Shen had indeed worked hard and made great contributions in his trip to Xizhou. Just suppressing the rebels was a great achievement.

Moreover, Li Shen also went to the tribe of the remnants of Gaochang and appeased the 200,000 people there, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

Li Shen omitted some of his own affairs, such as recruiting laborers and the gains from suppressing rebellions. These were not mentioned.

"What's going on with the workshop area?" After Li Shen finished speaking, Li Shimin had not yet spoken, but Li Zhi took the lead in questioning.

He had lost a lot this year, at least 100,000 strings of cash. He was one of the largest cotton plantations in Western Province.

Many aristocratic families did not produce as many crops as Li Zhi.

When he got the news, he almost collapsed, and then he wanted to seek revenge on Li Shen frantically.

Because he was sure that Li Shen was the one who did it.

At the same time, Li Tai also looked at Li Shen. Although he guessed that it was Li Shen who did it, he wanted to see how Li Shen explained it.

Li Shen calmly put down his teacup, adjusted his expression, and sighed with regret:

"Alas~~~~This incident was caused by my negligence, and I have an unshirkable responsibility.

Because of my massive campaign against the rebels, they suffered heavy casualties and fled to the area north of the cotton mill area.

I never thought they would dare to come back and take advantage of the fact that our attention is still focused on suppressing the rebels in Anxi.

They suddenly attacked the workshop area and caused heavy damage, which is my responsibility.

I have already instructed that Prince Ji's Mansion fully cooperate with the reconstruction of the workshop area."

(There is no clear record of Li Tai's weight in history, but according to historical descriptions of Li Tai, he weighed at least 300 kilograms.)
