Chapter 239: Millizhou Subu
In all fairness, as a husband, Li Shimin has done a good job, of course, it is too unrealistic to ask him to start from the beginning, relatively speaking, it is already affectionate and righteous to re-admit beautiful women into the palace a year after the death of his wife.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are a model couple who have been famous for thousands of years, and what they have seen and heard in the history books is how the two are affectionate, how Li Shimin is sage, and how Empress Changsun is virtuous.
After the death of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin's true thoughts are unknown, but he did be lonely for a year, if you use the most well-intentioned guess to speculate on the sacred heart, a man who is in the prime of life, after losing his wife, misses her alone for a year, and then forgets her hard and chooses a new life, which is also a good story.
No matter what kind of idea he had, Li Shimin finally decided to draft a concubine.
The saddest thing about this decision is the four concubines of the harem, the eldest grandson queen is an unclimbable mountain for them, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to her death, the four concubines have children, and Li Shimin has been in love for many years, which is in line with all the conditions for being a queen, and they each have the strength to eat milk to covet the position of the emperor and queen, and fill the empty and lonely life with singing and crying self-motivation, but as a result, this person who killed a thousand knives actually wants to choose a new beauty to enter the palace, obviously unwilling to take their four old onions to dip in sauce......
The self-motivation of the four concubines was like a small flame in a rainstorm, which was extinguished in an instant, and they no longer coveted the position of the emperor and queen, they finally understood the thoughts of this pillow man, the position of the queen of the Tang Dynasty can only belong to the eldest grandson queen, except for her, no one is worthy. Li Shimin agreed to the draft, and he was afraid that there was no lack of meaning to beat the fourth concubine.
Gong Yu gossip, Li Su listened to it with great interest, and at the same time couldn't help but feel a little blamed for himself, it turned out that he also had such a side......
***********************************************************
Gossip is just gossip, and if you hear it, you can count it. The courtiers were heartbroken for Li Shimin's sexual affairs, but Li Su didn't care, Li Shimin's harem was tens of thousands, and theoretically any woman who walked into his sight could pull over and mess around, this kind of man's loneliness is not something that Li Su, a mortal, can understand.
The next day. The Cheng family's subordinates rode to Taiping Village, and at the same time brought a cloth merchant from Dongshi with a sad face, and the piece of cloth silk as thin as a cicada's wings selected by Li Su yesterday was ......snatched from the cloth merchant's shop pΓΉ and taken from it.
The cloth merchant was very frightened, his face was as white as a maiko with heavy makeup, and he couldn't stop swinging in front of Li Su.
It was already very unlucky to be robbed of a piece of plain cloth yesterday, but I didn't expect this gang of bandits to be so excessive, and today they simply robbed his people, Chang'an is deep......
Cheng Chumo couldn't see the cloth merchant's cowering appearance of cutting off his head. With a kick, the cloth merchant's pendulum symptoms were cured without medicine, and there were tears in his eyes, but his speech was obviously much clearer.
Li Su was very polite and asked about the origin of the cloth, it turned out that the cloth was produced in Maozhou, and the cloth merchant himself was also from Maozhou, which was also a coincidence. Maozhou is famous for producing silk cloth, so there are many local silkworm weavers. Almost every household raises silkworms, but silkworms are the same as people, some are strong, some are weak, and some weak silkworms are dying and about to die. Even if it is not out of breath, the quality of the silk that is barely spit out is very poor, and this silkworm is generally eliminated.
The cloth merchant in front of him is a smart man, he gathered the silkworms eliminated from the silkworm farmers in Maozhou, and it was inevitable that a large number of them would die. The rest can barely spit out the silk, the toughness and thickness of the silk are very poor, but the cloth merchant does not know what secret method is used, this silk is processed and woven into cloth, that is, the cloth that Li Su took a fancy to yesterday, due to the quality of the silk, this cloth has strong light transmittance, and the density is also good, as thin as a light yarn-like material, which can not only transmit light, but also block the wind.
The cloth merchant shipped this cloth to Chang'an for sale, originally thinking that the sales of this cloth would not be too good, but it was found after it was put on the shelves...... Sales are really not good.
Nowadays, whether it is the official eunuch or the people, buying things is generally still very pragmatic, the choice of goods should be beautiful, but also practical, this kind of translucent and fragile cloth, really can not enter the eyes of the officials and people of Chang'an. Thousands of horses of plain cloth were piled up in the store and could not be sold at all, and even the most foolish Hu merchants scoffed at it, until yesterday when they were unlucky and met the eldest son of Lu Guogong, who was robbing......
Li Su was overjoyed.
"I've got all those rotten cloth heads!" The faces of the nouveau riche are on full display.
The cloth merchant weakly argued: "It's all good cloth, it's not rotten......
"Good cloth? You go to Chang'an to sell a foot and try it? See if people don't slap you. Li Su glared.
The cloth merchant sighed, hung his head and stopped talking, this cloth really can't be sold, he thought that a new variety had been invented, but it turned out that it was not even as good as a rotten cloth head.
"How many horses are backlogged on this cloth?"
The cloth merchant said gloomily: "More than 2,000 horses, the loss is miserable, and the capital can't be returned......
"Sell them all to me, calculate how much."
The cloth merchant looked uplifted and blurted out: "Two thousand ......"
Before the words fell, he immediately found that a layer of goosebumps appeared on his back inexplicably, and the temperature around him dropped sharply in vain, and a murderous aura enveloped the three zhang radius......
Li Su smiled bitterly, Cheng Chumo and a group of subordinates surrounded the cloth merchants, and escaped the posture of a group of unscrupulous young people blocking the alley to grab the pocket money of the three good students.
"A Thousand ......"
Sure enough, the cloth merchant wisely changed his tune, however, the temperature around him still showed no downward trend.
The cloth merchant continued to change his words with a bitter face: "Five hundred...... No, three hundred...... Alas, Shaolangjun looks at it, you can say as much as you want...... Forget it, the villain gave Shaolangjun for nothing, all for nothing, okay? β
What an unprincipled businessman......
"When we are bandits? I'll give you 2,000 yuan, but you're in charge of transporting all the more than 2,000 horses here, don't give me shoddy...... Alas, I guess you can't make it shoddy, and it's really not easy to find a worse cloth than this......"
The cloth merchant's expression suddenly became ecstatic, and he almost didn't kneel down for Li Su, two thousand guan, which can make up for most of his losses, after all, weaving this kind of cloth and selling it is originally a problem with his business vision, and it is already God's mercy to be able to return the capital of two thousand guan.
The overjoyed cloth merchant hurriedly agreed, and by the way, the eyes of Cheng Chumo and his gang of killers were much more pleasing to the eye.
What a cute group of bandits to kill talents, cute, cute......
