Chapter 454 The Master of the Cake

Zhang Nan looked at Li Ke with a speechless face and had to tell the truth: "It's not that I'm not willing to teach you, this is the first one, you can't learn this skill, and I can't teach you the second one. If your father knows that I'm teaching you this, he has to pull my skin. Of course, if I can pull all my skin, I don't think you can get much better."

After Zhang Nan said this, Li Ke's eyes immediately dimmed.

Yes, what is he? Among the many princes, as long as they are not the prince, the rest of the prince will be useless. As long as his elder brother is not too stupid, it is almost impossible for this prince to run away from under his butt.

What's more, my eldest brother and prince now seem to be more secure. The better the prince is, the harder the rest of the prince will be.

If you are outstanding, you will easily attract jealousy and easily be trapped by others. You will be sued for a slander from time to time and make you suffer a little. If you are not outstanding, you will not be favored and will be scolded from time to time. Moreover, Li Ke is not such a person.

It can be said to be very difficult to do.

The better Li Chengqian is, the more envied Li Ke is, because Li Tai will never be suspicious of Li Chengqian now, nor will he be tripped up.

Who made Li Tai not even stay in the palace now? It would be safe for Li Chengqian to be uninhabited, and Li Tai seemed to be happy about teaching, as if other things were not attractive to Li Tai.

Li Ke also wanted to find something that allowed him to concentrate on doing and not be suspicious, but unfortunately Li Ke couldn't find it.

"Mr. Zhang said, I'm thinking too much." Li Ke bowed and said.

"Well, don't think about this art of controlling people. This is undoubtedly a way to burn yourself up by playing with fire. But if you are interested in other things, I can teach you. Look at Li Tai, aren't you interested in doing research? Now he is in the academy every day, except teaching classes and studying things, and he is very happy." Zhang Nan said.

Li Ke, who was already desperate, suddenly felt hope in his heart when he heard Zhang Nan say this.

"Really? Lord Zhang, are you willing to teach me?" Li Ke said excitedly.

"Teaching can be taught, but you must not take me as your teacher. I don't want your father to invite you to have tea." Zhang Nan thought about Li Er's suspicion, and it was also a headache, so he had to give Li Ke a shot in advance.

"It's great, but since Lord Zhang, you taught me, that's the sir. Then when there is no one else, I'll call you Master Zhang. If someone else is there, I'll call you Lord Zhang. What do you think?" Li Ke said.

"You can do whatever you want, but when you learn things, you have to postpone it. The top priority is to get the supermarket done for me first." Zhang Nan ordered.

Zhang Nan doesn’t care whether Li Ke is a prince or not. Since he wants to be a student, errands are inevitable.

"Hey, no problem, what you say is what you say, Mr. Zhang." Li Ke said excitedly.

Seeing Li Ke and Zhang Nan chatting so happily, Li Yan, who had been holding on to her for a long time, jumped out and said, "Sir Zhang, where are I?"

"You?" Zhang Nan glanced at this guy who had no highlights on his body.

"You want to learn something from me too?" Zhang Nan asked.

Li Yan nodded quickly. Li Yan was Li Ke's follower. In Li Yan's eyes, his biological brother was much better than Li Chengqian, Li Tai, etc., so Li Yan liked to follow Li Ke's butt since he was a child. Now that Li Ke wants to learn from Zhang Nan, Li Yan naturally also has to follow his elder brother's footsteps.

"I think I can't teach you anything for the time being, but there will always be a chance. You should follow your brother to handle the supermarket business first. If it is done well, I will have a beautiful place for you to do it." Zhang Nan said.

"Beautiful and bad? What's the beauty?" Li Yan asked with a curiosity look on his face.

"Do you like hunting?" Zhang Nan asked.

Although I don’t know what Zhang Nan meant by asking this, Li Yan still nodded honestly and said, “I like it, I especially like it.”

Zhang Nan thought to himself: "If you don't like it, there will be a ghost."

"Shooting" is one of the "Six Arts" of Confucianism. It developed into the Tang Dynasty and became an entertainment for the royal family and nobles to scholars and wanderers. Especially riding horses in the gardens, galloping in the mountains and forests, chasing them, which can not only show their passion, but also relax their muscles and bones, and comfort their ambitions.

It can be said that it is the best choice for leisure and entertainment for the upper class. In the Tang Dynasty, where entertainment activities are scarce, hunting is definitely the best fun. As the idle prince of the Tang Dynasty, how could Li Yan not like such activities?

"It's good to like it. If you do a good job in the supermarket this time, I can help you find a place to hunt constantly, so that you can't play and vomit. And your father will never say you are bad at all. On the contrary, he will praise you, what do you think?" Zhang Nan said.

"How is this possible!" Li Yan said in surprise. Obviously, Li Yan didn't believe the big cake Zhang Nan drew for him. Every time Li Yan quietly took people to hunt, he would definitely be scolded by Li Er when he came back.

"It's impossible. I will only know that your top priority now is to recruit workers. The project volume this time is not very large, five hundred people are enough. When you choose a husband, remember to pay the wages. As for the wages, you will pay it from you. Then you earn money to make up for it. Remember, this wage can only be high, not low, and you can't deduct wages. You know how the academy was built."

Li Ke and Li Yan nodded, and Zhang Nan said, "Just follow this standard. I just need the result. I will go to Tiangong Department now and get a few good people who build houses. You will recruit workers now. The sooner this supermarket is built, the more you can earn more money, go."

At the order of Zhang Nan, Li Ke and Li Yan walked towards the direction of the carriage while discussing. It seemed that they were going to get the money.

Zhang Nan was not in charge of this matter. If Li Ke and Li Yan couldn't even do such a small matter well, Zhang Nan would not teach Li Ke anything. For no other reason, this was simply a sign that would be ruined.

After sending out the two brothers Li Ke and Li Yan, Zhang Nan got on the carriage and went directly to the Tiangong Department. Although Zhang Nan could also go to the Department of Works to find Wei Tianwu to ask for people, it was still too troublesome to think that Wei Tianwu would ask questions. It was not as real as the Tiangong Department. Moreover, Zhang Nan also wanted to see how the Momen engineers had studied his steam engine to the point.
