Chapter 276: Twists and Turns
Tai Chi Temple.
Father-in-law Gao came back with a 'luxury suit', and yes, he went with the gift on behalf of Li Shimin.
It is said that as an emperor, no courtier has such a big face. But Li Mu is different in Li Shimin's eyes after all, Li Mu has done a lot of things, Li Shimin has always felt that he has a debt in his heart, this time Li Mu's business opened, he had to say something.
Sending money is too cheesy, Li Shimin thought that he had inscribed Mobao for Li Mu many times, such as Zhuluhou Mansion, Happy Valley, Jingdong Ji, etc., suddenly came to inspiration, and inscribed a plaque for the newly opened shop, three flying white characters 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix'.
"Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" is a guqin song of the Han Dynasty, which interprets the love story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun. The phoenix is not one kind of bird, but two kinds, the male is called "phoenix", and the female is called "phoenix", which is generally called phoenix. Later generations take "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" as the whole body comparison, symbolizing the extraordinary ideals of the heroes and heroines, the noble aspirations, the tacit understanding of bosom friends and other rich meanings.
The meaning of Li Shimin's gift of this plaque is to compare Li Mu to a phoenix and Bai Qiaoqiao to a phoenix, implying that the two of them are Luan Feng and Ming, which is a very high praise.
But Li Mu didn't appreciate it very much, because he had already thought about it, since this shop was opened for Bai Qiaoqiao, it would be simple and direct, and it would be called 'White Deer Park' directly. Now the emperor sent the plaque over, and the holy will was as great as the sky, so he had no choice but to replace the original plaque, and change the plaque on the auspicious day of the opening, and his heart was somewhat uncomfortable.
However, in the eyes of the outside world, it is full of envy, jealousy and hatred. Before Li Mu came to Chang'an, he was recognized as the first person in the dynasty and the first person in the holy family, and it was none other than the eldest grandson of the country's uncle, Wuji. The current first person in the current dynasty is still the eldest grandson Wuji, but the first person of this holy family, many people feel that it has to be changed to Li Mu. His Majesty is so good to him, even to his own son, he is not so accustomed to it.
On the plaque of the phoenix, Li Shimin also deliberately used the seal, ordered by the sky, and the eight seal characters of Yongchang were the jade seals of the country that Li Mu found. This has raised this plaque several grades, you must know that so far, Li Shimin has only used this seal for others twice, the first time it was used on the plaque of 'Zhulu Houfu' for Li Mu, and the second time was on the plaque of this shop.
With this plaque, literate people should know a little bit of proportion, who dares to make trouble, isn't it like looking for death? If I had hung it up earlier, there would have been no trouble this morning.
Li Mu also gave Li Shimin enough face, and the return gift from others was the same, and it was a set for him. He wants to see if Li Shimin will take a bath with soap, and if he will apply perfume to himself......
Gonggong Gao took out the things from the exquisite wooden box, put them on Li Shimin's desk, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is very polite to chase the deer marquis, and I have prepared a return gift for everyone. It's mostly the same or two, but it's a whole set for Your Majesty, and it's all here. Hou Ye specially instructed that this is the latest product. Oh, there is also a fat Daka, and the Hou Ye also specially instructed that this is the first one, and the first one must be dedicated to His Majesty. ”
Li Shimin picked it up and looked at it the same, soap and soap, he has already used it, and now he uses the soap to wash his face every morning. But the perfume, he has only seen it, he has not used it, and the eldest grandson queen only has a bottle, which is baby, so he will not use it. Although Li Shimin is the emperor, he is always embarrassed to grab perfume from his wife, so he has to endure it and become more and more curious.
Human nature is like this, the more you can't get it, the more you want to have it. Li Shimin finally got a bottle of perfume, and in front of his father-in-law, he didn't show eagerness, so he unscrewed the perfume bottle as if he was doing it casually.
"Does this thing really smell? I don't believe it......" As he spoke, he poured out half a bottle and spilled it on his sleeve.
The rich scent of orchids emanated, and Li Shimin sneezed several times in a row!
"Why does this thing smell so big! cough cough cough ...... Choke to death! ”
Father-in-law Gao hurriedly asked someone to bring his clothes over and help Li Shimin change them, even so, the perfume remaining on his arm still smelled not small: "Your Majesty, the old slave heard from Zhuluhou that this perfume is used drop by drop, and the gold is expensive, this small bottle is ten dollars, how can there be a person like you who pour half a bottle at once, it's not like this." ”
"Well, it's not something for men either." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Just ...... Send it to the Queen. ”
Father-in-law Gao took the perfume, rolled his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave heard from the people around the queen that the queen uses rose-scented flowers, and this orchid fragrance is probably not in line with the queen's wishes." ”
"Among the four concubines, whoever uses orchid fragrance can send it."
"Your Majesty, no, if a certain concubine has two bottles of perfume, and the queen only has one, this is ......"
"Ahh Li Shimin suddenly said, "What I'm worried about is that I almost had an accident." Then you can dispose of it casually, and don't let the queen and the fourth concubine find out. ”
"Whoa." Father-in-law Gao put the perfume in his sleeve, lowered his head and pursed his lips, and got half a bottle of perfume without spending a penny. This is a good thing, when the eunuch, there are unspeakable hidden, because of the cut, cold, frozen, will can't help but squeeze out a little, even if it is not cold and frozen, there is a smell of urine when covered, so the sachet is a treasure of eunuchs, and every eunuch has a sachet with him.
But how to compare the sachet with the perfume, with this perfume, the problem of urine has been solved.
Li Shimin is a rough man in the end, he is just curious about perfume, and he has no interest. But when he saw the letter that came with the reply, he became interested.
The letter lists the privileges that can be enjoyed by holding a fat Dhaka.
One: Holders of Fat Dhaka can enjoy door-to-door delivery service. Each can be used once, and the goods in the store are limited to one piece, so there is no need to queue up, and the goods are delivered to the door in Chang'an City.
Second: The normal application for the Fat Dhaka requires a consumption of 100 yuan, but the title of marquis or above does not have to spend this 100 yuan, you can directly have the fat Dhaka and register. And according to the level of the knighthood, enjoy different discounts. Marquis, no offers. Duke, 10% off, Lord, 20% off. The palace enjoys a 50% discount, and the information is confidential and not open to the public.
Third: Holders of Fat Dhaka can enjoy a free trial of new products. After today, as long as there is a new product in the store, holders of Fat Dhaka can apply for a free trial pack.
After the three privileges, there is still to be continued. In the future, when the privilege is introduced, it will be delivered to the home of the Fat Dhaka holder in the same way.
Li Shimin sighed again and again, this kind of sales method of Li Mu's bad street in his previous life was absolutely unprecedented in Zhenguan's era, and no one had done this. At least Li Shimin himself looked very novel, he showed the letter to Gonggong Gao, and said: "Look, it is written on this that the palace enjoys a five-fold discount, which means that it is not sold to others for ten times, and sold to the palace for five times?" ”
"Literally, that's what it means."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Gao Gan, do you think that this kid Li Mu will do a loss-making business?" ”
Gonggong Gao was stunned for a moment and shook his head, he really didn't believe that Li Mu would make a money-losing deal.
"Therefore, he also earns a 50% discount when he sells it to the palace. In this way, he made at least half of the net profit from this transaction, which is really amazing. A bottle of perfume is pure profit, how much does he sell today? ”
"There are only 100 sets in total."
"One hundred sets is one thousand six hundred. Pure profit 800 guan, alas! This kind of business, why is it not mine! Li Shimin sighed again and again, and his envy was beyond words.
Gao Gonggong figured out the holy will, he didn't want to say such things, but at this time, this kind of thing had to be said, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, it's better to ......"
"No way!" Li Shimin waved his hand again and again, and said: "How can I do this kind of thing, Li Mu is different from ordinary people, no, no!" ”
Gonggong Gao sighed and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
Li Shimin sighed for a while, asked Gonggong Gao to remove the things, and picked up the fold on the table. I folded this thing, and I reviewed a bunch of them every day, and the next day I was sure that there was another bunch, and there was no end. Li Shimin has been the emperor for a few years, and he can understand that his father began to be arrogant and lascivious after becoming the emperor.
The emperor is really tired if he wants to be a good thing. But on the other hand, it's very easy. Leave things to others, and naturally have time to have fun. But this is also tantamount to handing over power, Li Yuan was handed over to his son, the civil official was handed over to Li Jiancheng, and the military general was handed over to Li Shimin. Li Shimin didn't dare to do this, his crown prince was only twelve years old. If he handed over power, maybe in a few years, the world would change his surname.
So whether he wants to or not, he still has to 'do his homework' every day, and he doesn't want to do anything until he finishes it.
"This Wei Zheng ......" Li Shimin picked up a notebook, his brows furrowed, and said, "Why is he everywhere!" He also has to get involved in road construction, which is really annoying! ”
Father-in-law Gao glanced at the side, and he also had the same thoughts as Li Shimin in his heart. This fold is written, Shandong is far away from Chang'an, the road is rugged and inconvenient, just Taiyuan wants to build a road to Chang'an, it is better to take this opportunity to build a road from Yangzhou to Taiyuan, connect the two roads, so that Shandong to Chang'an is also close.
There is nothing wrong with what he said, but how could Li Shimin not see what Wei Zheng meant? It must have been seen that road construction was profitable, and the Shandong scholars couldn't sit still, and they also wanted a piece of the pie.
This kind of national event, Gao Gonggong has always been very measured and never talked much. Li Shimin didn't count on him either, and said to himself: "One by one, looking at the interests is like a wild wolf smelling blood on the grassland, and the eyes are all green." The auxiliary machine is like this, and so is Wei Zheng. How can there be any virtuous ministers, I can be regarded as knowledgeable now! ”
Li Shimin gritted his teeth hatefully, picked up the sheep's hair pen, stained it with cinnabar, and directly made a cross on Wei Zheng's recital.
"Go, send someone to the Yushitai and tell Wei Zheng to let him break this thought! The Shandong Shi clan and I are separated from morality, and I will not allow it! ”
