Chapter 275: The Princess
When Fang Yuan and they were full of Chang'an scattered pieces of paper, Cai Cong came to the Lizheng Hall in a hurry, and the two-year-old Li Zhi was babbling, circling around the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson's abdomen was slightly bulging, and in her stomach was the princess Li Mingda, who impressed many people in later generations.
Thinking that this smart, kind, and gentle princess would not live to be twelve years old, Cai Cong couldn't help but stare at the eldest grandson's stomach twice, until the eldest grandson twisted his ears twice.
"Where have the etiquette tutors learned? Is there anyone like you staring at the stomach of an elder? The eldest grandson said angrily, the elderly mother was very sensitive, and thought that Cai Cong was laughing at her.
"Thinking that soon, a smart and kind princess will come to the world, the kid can't help but look at it twice, and there is absolutely no other meaning."
Cai Cong said on tiptoe, pregnant women are easy to get angry and can't afford to offend!
"Why can't you be a princess if you are a princess?" The eldest grandson let go of his hand, sat on the chair and asked with a full demeanor.
"Fate, fate."
Cai Cong sat on the chair with a smile, unwilling to say anything more on this topic, and said to the eldest grandson: "The minister is here today because the commercial street is about to open, Niangniang is a big proprietor, and she still needs your help, whether the business of the women's street can be done depends on you!" ”
"This matter is easy to do, the palace will open tomorrow and take the lady of Chang'an for a walk, isn't it okay to buy something?"
"Don't call them all, you pick and call some, and those who are not called will naturally be itchy at that time, send them to the door yourself, and buy a lot of things to prove yourself."
When Cai Cong heard the words of the eldest grandson, he immediately shouted, he still had to catch a fish, otherwise these women would not be ruthless in buying things.
The eldest grandson glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Just money, that's more important than people's hearts?" Every day, I know that I think of crooked ways. This palace has a question I want to ask you for a long time, will such a big commercial street affect the business of merchants in Chang'an, if the market is depressed, Wei Aiqing is afraid that he will block your door to find you a theory. ”
"Niangniang can rest assured, there are so many shops in the commercial street, we can't run them ourselves, except for some goods that we didn't have in Chang'an, we do it ourselves, and the rest are renting the shops to reputable merchants in Chang'an, supplying them and letting them do business. It can be said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for the merchants in Chang'an. ”
Cai Cong said with a smile, he is like a super large wholesaler and logistics company, only responsible for distribution and transportation, as for who will sell things, he doesn't have to care.
"That's good, don't bully those small traders, if there is any bad news to this palace, you just wait to eat bamboo shoots and fried meat!"
The eldest grandson nodded majestically, in fact, he still didn't understand what Cai Cong said, but Cai Cong said that she wouldn't bully the merchants, so she believed it.
Cai Cong immediately patted his chest to ensure that he couldn't do such a thing, just kidding! But he wants to make it, it is Zhang Gongjin's own family who buys leather goods, and the former head of the guards who buys iron tools is actually the head of the guards of Changsun Wuji, as well as those who make cinnabar and spices, and there is no big guy behind him, he will bully them when his brain is convulsed.
"You will get married next month, and give birth to the baby as soon as possible, so that people can mature a little."
"That's not possible, the minister is only thirteen years old this year, how can he have children?"
"Why not? How many people are married and have children at the age of twelve or thirteen, why can't you do it? Are you that special? The eldest grandson said unhappily, in this era, the legal age of marriage is reached at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but many people are married and have children at the age of twelve or thirteen, which is a broken habit.
"From the perspective of human body functions, men are not fully developed until they are eighteen or nineteen years old, and women are not suitable for giving birth to children until they are 20, otherwise having children in their teens is like passing through the ghost gate for women, you go to understand that those women in their early twenties are definitely much less likely to have a difficult birth than those teenage girls."
"It's ridiculous, if it's according to what you said, will the women in the world still live?" The eldest grandson didn't believe Cai Cong's words at all, it was extremely difficult to challenge the worldview of a world, especially if you wanted the powerful to disapprove of you.
Copernicus was burned alive because of this, Cai Cong was okay, he didn't dare to challenge the status of the sun, but just did a relatively small thing.
"If Niangniang doesn't believe it, you can send a list of women who have died in childbirth in Chang'an in the past ten years, and the minister dares to conclude that the most people who died were under the age of eighteen, followed by women in their thirties and forties, and women in the age of twenty-five died the least."
"This palace will naturally send someone to investigate, what are you doing in the affairs of the women's family? Finish the matter at hand early, and get ready to get married. ”
The eldest grandson said unhappily that she married Li Shimin at the age of sixteen and gave birth to Li Chengqian at the age of eighteen.
"The minister will retire, you are incapacitated, but you have to pay more attention to cultivation, the minister turned around and asked someone to send a few ginseng to recuperate your body."
"Even if you have filial piety, if you have more than that, Your Majesty will die to save face, and you won't ask you to ask, why are you stupid and have no eyesight at all, and you don't know how to send some?"
The eldest grandson nodded with satisfaction, and asked Cai Cong to get out of the way, don't hinder her from raising the fetus.
Cai Cong only said yes, he wanted to send it, but Li Shimin said that the food was unknown, how could Cai Cong dare to send it if he didn't open his mouth?
The next day the commercial street opened, the people flocked to the commercial street like a market, the propaganda said that the first three days before 100 people buy less than 100 taels of things without money, others in the three days to buy things at half price, as long as people who are not stupid will definitely buy here.
Chang Wu's family is near the commercial street, he lined up in the first position of the fang gate overnight, just waiting for the fang door to open and be the first to rush to the commercial street, that is a hundred taels of silver!
There were many people who had the same idea as him, but none of them came early than Chang Wu, and dozens of people lined up in a long line at the fangmen.
Fang Zheng didn't care about him, they were all idle second-rate people, and it was good to queue up here to steal melons from the east and rice from the west.
As soon as the time came, Chang Wu ran away, leaving the others far behind. He was very afraid of being overtaken, so he took off a pair of straw sandals early and held them in his hand, so that he was not afraid that the straw sandals would break halfway and trip over himself.
Fangmen is only two miles away from the commercial street, and Chang Wu actually ran for him in less than two moments under the wild gallop, but he was anxious at the moment, and at this moment, many people rode past him, and then disappeared from his sight.
