Chapter 183: The Royal Loser
What he said was taken for granted, but Li Chengqian was noncommittal.
Obviously, if the wife of the old house is really a fierce woman, it is impossible for the old house to retain the right to go to the green building. Anyway, concubines are not allowed, and if you tear your face a little more, it is not a big deal not to visit the Qinglou.
However, since there is still the story of "Mrs. Vinegar", it can only show that the two people sent by my father to the old house are probably either spies or spies. Fang Xuanling's blatant refusal was disobeying, so he could only move out of Mrs. Fang as the door god, so that the little ghost was not allowed to enter the door. Even if the reputation is damaged, it's not a big deal. It is inevitable that a husband will not be virtuous and unfilial!
Li Chengqian, who thought of this factor, did not break it, but pointed to the private room on the side of Quyi Pavilion and asked Fang Xuanling: "Fang Xiang, Lone is going to set up a single room here, and in addition to the prince, there will be a few places left." Although Hu Shang or something is out of character to sit on the first floor with the prince, as long as Gu gives them some compensation, it is estimated that they will not mind. ”
Fang Xuanling nodded: "Gao, for these empty places, the old man is sure that even if it is a broken family, there are people who want to sit in." Even if His Highness sells these positions, he can make a lot of money. ”
It's so enjoyable to talk to a smart person, even if you don't say it, he can guess what you're doing.
The craftsmen recruited from Chang'an City have already begun construction. The original large-scale ladder sample field was completely abandoned by Li Chengqian. With such obvious stratification, how can it accommodate more people? As for feeling that I am different from ordinary people, I am a second-class person, so I pay for the front position.
Anyway, with the general seats in the stepped classroom, Li Chengqian is ready to make it look like a dense and sparse front, which is no different from the university classrooms of later generations.
As for the stage, it was all demolished, leaving only a small auction table for the treasures and a place for the guards on the first floor. After all, no matter what you sell, you need packaging. A team of sergeants armed to the teeth stood at the bottom of the stage, and what was being auctioned off on the stage, even if it was a stone, was a treasure!
"Your Highness, although you want to open the pockets of those Hu merchants, you can't obviously sell them the position in the front row. Since this auction is to entertain the princes and ministers, the seats in the front row can only be arranged for them. Shame! If you really arrange a place for Hu Shang, you will be blamed! ”
After listening to Fang Xuanling's advice, Li Chengqian remembered that this was not the later generation, but the Tang Dynasty.
No matter what, as long as it is in the territory of Datang, the Tang people are above all else, and in Datang, there is no need to give foreigners any face. It's sad to be kicked in the nose and face on your own turf.
"Fang Xiang rest assured, Lone wrote it down."
It is useful to have a Fang Xuanling by his side, and many places will be wrong in the thinking of later generations, and it is better to expect Yu Tai to make some suggestions, than to expect Yu Chi Gong to become white.
Although the emperor would help with acting this time, Li Chengqian did not hide it, but told Fang Xuanling the truth.
After learning the truth, Fang Xuanling laughed and said, "Don't worry, the old man will definitely impeach you at that time!" ”
Li Chengqian also laughed, if the plan went well, maybe he would really be impeached by hundreds of officials.
Although there were few craftsmen in Chang'an City, a large number of them were transferred to the Weishui construction site, but the speed of work was not satisfied.
Before they could enter mid-September, they completed the renovation of Quyi Pavilion.
When the renovation was completed, the sign of Quyi Pavilion was kicked down by Yu Tai, and in the expectation of the surrounding "neighbors", the name of "Royal Auction House" was replaced.
This is very arrogant, you must know that no one dares to hang the name of "royal", even those lawless and misbehaving princesses, they do not dare to do things in the name of royalty, once they do this, it is light to enter the Zongzheng Mansion.
There are only two people in this world who can do this, and the small one has to be weighed before he can do so.
Li Chengqian didn't need to weigh it this time, he didn't plan to make the auction house a one-shot deal. As long as there is an auction house, you can earn a steady income from a single draw. After the word of mouth went out, a hundred auction houses were built in other places, but they couldn't withstand the influence of the "royal" signboard.
The royal auction was completed, and immediately many impeachment of the crown prince were sent to the Zhongshu Province.
Fang Xuanling was the key person who came into contact with these twists and turns, and when he saw the impeachment of the prince, he smiled and threw it into the car. The cart was full of official documents, all of which were to be sent for incineration.
He already knew that this was something that both the prince and the emperor had to do, so naturally he would not send the recital to the emperor's desk and do such an extra thing. Of course, if the matter is important, he will not be good at it, but ask the emperor to decide, and when it comes to something really urgent, he will knock if he doesn't sleep. This is the qualification standard for being a prime minister, and it is also the fundamental reason why the old house can sit firmly in the center of the flowing water of the court.
The entry and exit of the division is the core necessity of the courtiers.
Li Dahai is very clear about advance and retreat, so he successfully changed from the shopkeeper of a small winery to the chief steward of the caravan outside the East Palace. Although this position is an empty position, Li Dahai is as excited as if he has been crowned king.
"Your Highness, the glass you handed over to the old slave, the old slave has been distributed to the caravan and sent them out of Chang'an first. Even in winter, they can get to the border before the snow closes the road. In the spring of next year, as soon as the Hu merchants in Chang'an City left, they would be able to get out of the customs. You can rest assured, the leaders of the caravan are all the hands of the old slave's family, and one of them absconded with the treasure, and the old slave is willing to take the responsibility! ”
Standing in front of Li Chengqian, Li Dahai couldn't wait to poke his upper body into the ground.
Waving his hand to let him get up, Li Chengqian said indifferently: "It's okay, even if someone runs away, I don't care." Anyway, in three or five years, those who hold glass in their arms will find that the treasure they regard as a treasure can't even compare with the value of porcelain. Li Dahai, Lone is not a person who treats his subordinates badly, remember that your eldest son has already started a family, but the younger son is only seven or eight years old, right? ”
Hearing the prince's question, Li Dahai immediately replied: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"Then get ready and split up with your youngest son. It's not necessary to change your surname, when the academy opens next year, the Lone Club will let him enter the academy to study, and after learning, you can get the position of a small official at worst, you..."
I couldn't go on, because Li Dahai had already knelt on the ground and was bleeding from his head.
It is an iron law that neither a person nor his heirs shall be an official if he is engaged in business. Fastest update... / .. /
When one person enters the business, the whole family loses face. This is already an undeclared rule in the land of Datang.
As long as his bloodline can be an official, Li Dahai doesn't care whether he is separated or not, if possible, he will immediately send his youngest son to someone else's house, and he can have someone else's surname. Because this is the only way to give children a chance to get rid of the merchant's children.
"Get up, don't you see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a hurry? Do you want His Highness to break the rules and help you personally? ”
As soon as Yan Liben, who had just entered the door, finished speaking, Li Dahai stood up, although he was dizzy, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.
Arching his hand, Yan Liben breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness, the lower official has already handed over the errand clearly. It's just that the lower official wants to ask over, what does Your Majesty want to do? ”
Yan Liben's secret kiln made a large number of glass ornaments, and Li Chengqian smashed those ordinary, the more exaggerated the shape, the more he liked it. The two craftsmen that the emperor mixed into the kiln did not always be spies, and the patterns from their hands, even the simplest, would be shocked by the grace and luxury at first sight.
What a talent!
So Li Chengqian simply took the position of Yan Liben's kiln chief and handed it over to one of them.
Since the emperor's father thinks that this is a critical department and wants to control it, then let him go.
Patting Yan Liben's back, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "This matter is related to outsiders, so it's nothing to tell you." ”
Sitting on the chair, he poured a cup of tea for Yan Liben, flattering him.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Chengqian said, "My father wants to make money!" Our target is this group of fat sheep in Chang'an, and my father is very powerful, he is embarrassed to grab prey with Lone, so he is targeting the fat sheep who have not yet entered the Tang Dynasty, and even the nobles of all ethnic groups. Gu only sent two caravans to Goryeo and the Western Turks, and the glazed ware they carried was of poor quality in order not to hit the market.
When his father took over the kiln, you see, it is strange that he doesn't reach out to the country and grab a handful of them back. How much can a lonely caravan carry? You must know that after the beginning of spring, the imperial court will change the generals of the border defense! ”
Thinking about the number of troops that could be carried by the team out of Beijing, Yan Liben shuddered. With so much glass flowing out, the wealth it brings will be unimaginable. As for the army doing business, it is impossible, but the army accompanies the caravan of the Tang Dynasty and helps bring something, which is not a problem.
"I didn't expect Your Majesty to be so ruthless."
As soon as he said that, Yan Li immediately covered his mouth, for fear of being heard.
It's not the emperor who talks about it behind his back, even the prince has to worry about it.
Glancing at Yan Liben, who was in the shadow of the cup bow snake, Li Chengqian sighed. The emperor has nothing to do, even this honest man is scared enough.
After drinking two cups of tea, Li Chengqian stood up, twisted his buttocks, and prepared to go back to Chang'an.
Although the kiln was handed over to the emperor's hands, the research would not stop. Although the purest glass made now has impurities and poor transparency, it is always possible to study colorless transparent glass when it is studied so early. At that time, the windows of the academy will be replaced with glass, which will be better than paper. lest he have to learn that the East Palace has thin animal skin and covered windows, and he will be collectively reprimanded by the old gentlemen as a loser.
The title of a loser is very good, at least, in the next period of time, he will be a loser.
It is strange that a prince who sells with a royal secret treasure is not accused of becoming a royal loser.
