"Snuff is made of the best tobacco leaves, dried and necessary musk and other precious herbs, ground into powder, and smacked with roses or jasmine to increase its aroma, this small bottle costs more than ten taels. Smoking tobacco not only overcomes fatigue and hunger, but also heals wounds and diseases, without causing harm to the human body and without addiction. ”

Li Zhi had to explain again, of course the prince had to try it himself, but this was to be dedicated to His Majesty, and there was no room for the slightest negligence.

In a blink of an eye, Li Dan also did according to the law, and he also sneezed a few crisply, and before the tissue was wiped off, he raised his finger to Li Zhi and praised: "It's really a good thing!" It seems that the essence and spirit are activated at once, such a wonderful thing, it is difficult for those who don't know to understand! ”

Li Zhi tried several times, and wanted to tell his intention to do this kind of business in the future, but he finally held back, this kind of delusion to advertise with today's saints is a bold move, rather than saying that it is strictly forbidden at this time, it is better to wait for the emperor to see the opportunity to act, so that there is still room for maneuver.

Li Dan didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, and he chattered there unconsciously: "Mr. Li, it's rare that you are loyal to the emperor, no one tells you, and you still miss my emperor in your heart, and teach me to feel a lot of emotion in my heart!" ”

The emperor called himself I, I or I, the Tang Dynasty was not particularly strict in the title, Li Dan never called himself a widow in front of Li Zhi, obviously there was a sense of gratitude from his true heart.

Of course, Sima Chengzhen will be aware that there must be contact between several people, but the people outside the party are quite indifferent to the friendship of the powerful, and they don't think deeply, after Li Zhi responded with a humble resignation, he followed up and said: "Poor Dao has traveled a lot of places in recent years, but I have also seen Mr. Li's smoking of hookah and dry tobacco among the people, and I was interested in tasting a few mouthfuls. Mr. Li's method of cold food, but he skillfully dissolves the harm caused by that kind of smoke and fire, and this kind of spiritual thought alone is beyond the imagination of ordinary people! Poor road admiration! ”

"The Taoist has passed the award, I am a healer myself, and I know how to transfer the original function of things! Arsenic is known. Frost, crane top red is highly toxic, in fact, their predecessors are used for medicinal or industrial purposes, tobacco can be made into dry tobacco, pipe tobacco for people to smoke, the same still has a variety of medical uses, still does not lose the history of medicinal plants, its medical value can not be erased because of its harmfulness. ”

I was convinced of that! Mr. Li once said that this small bottle will cost more than a dozen taels of silver, and he plans to sell this thing next? Can the precious medicinal materials be replaced? ”

"I understand what the long words mean! Let's put it this way, there are no precious medicinal materials, and they naturally have the function of ventilation and asthma, but relative side effects will follow! If I cancel the addition of precious medicinal materials, and focus on the addition of floral fragrance, I can also achieve obvious medical effects, and the attractive aroma is overflowing, and the manufacturing cost will be reduced by seven or eighty percent immediately! This is naturally a major improvement for business or purchasing power, but it is contrary to my original intention as a doctor. I also know that once this kind of snuff is on the market, it will immediately attract many imitation products, and I can't control others, but in my Zhengqing Wenqitang, I will only produce such things that are adjusted by precious medicinal materials to minimize the harm of Chinese herbal tobacco, even if the price is high, and the best-selling will no longer be, I will not change my original intention, at least at that time, I have a clear conscience! ”

"Bang!" Sima Chengzhen slapped his palm on the stone table, causing the tea set on the table to tremble for a while, not realizing that there was a prince sitting opposite, who was the future prince and even the future emperor.

"Good! Mr. Li really has my Taoist orthodox precepts, strict cultivation thoughts, and upholds brilliant! What's even more commendable is that as a businessman, he is not profit-seeking, he insists on his heart, and he is really worthy of so many accomplished people! ”

Li Dan did not mean to blame this person, the Tang Dynasty respected Laozi as an ancestor, followed Taoism as the state religion, took measures to vigorously promote Taoism, improve the status of Taoist priests, and the concept of Taoism was even more profound for him, the most direct descendant.

He nodded frequently in response, "The Taoist chief said very much, Mr. Li has noble character and extraordinary intelligence, and he has almost taught people sincerity and filial piety, prudence, traces, self-determination, and fame in the Book of Sages, but he has not relied on it alone because of his achievements, which is even more rare!" ”

Li Zhi hurriedly responded with a smile, "Your Highness has tormented the small people, where do I have so many good qualities, no matter how good I am, I don't dare to express more opinions no matter what!" ”

Li Dan and the others laughed, and Li Zhi took the opportunity to mention to Sima Chengzhen, "The Taoist chief works diligently day and night, and it is normal for him to be in good spirits, and he likes to travel all over the world and spread the blessings of Taoism, where is there enough silver taels to buy such expensive things!" In the future, Zhengqing Wenqitang will provide free snuff for the Taoist, and will only be willing to help the Taoist to provide better conditions to ensure that more Taoist classics can be circulated in the world! ”

Sima Chengzhen was about to retreat, but Li Dan was reminded of his head, "The Taoist travels and preaches, focusing on moral transmission and spiritual understanding in the process of walking, although it pays more attention to the process than enjoyment, but snuff has another protective and refreshing function for people who are used to working day and night, and Mr. Li is also well-intentioned, and the Taoist does not have to refuse!" ”

He is high and luxurious, and he has no sense of money in his mind, so these words naturally come out of his mouth.

Li Zhi took advantage of the situation to excuse himself and continued, "The Taoist chief has traveled through famous mountains and rivers, and the temple has been a great event for the high Taoist with unique wisdom and high merit for eternity." Unlike us and other mercenaries in the market, I take more care of Antu enjoyment, and the hardships of the journey can not be summed up in a word by just wearing out a few pairs of grass shoes. Paying for the Taoist is within my own purview of those who also believe in morality, so you don't have to excuse yourself anymore! ”

In fact, Li Zhi's words are also true, the great monks of the past dynasties, those who are good at unremitting travel, their sources of livelihood and survival guarantees, all come from all sides of the good men and women to help, otherwise more of them have no source of livelihood, wouldn't it be difficult to move an inch.

Therefore, when he said this, Sima Chengzhen also knew it, and he quickly let go of the uneasiness in his heart.

Moreover, the pure Taoist aura he felt from Li Zhi made him always think that he was really a fellow Taoist, and he was more comfortable accepting it.

Seeing that this matter was over, Li Dan remembered that Li Zhi customized a snuff bottle for the emperor, and couldn't help asking: "But I don't know how Mr. Li's current snuff bottle is made?" I bring back the snuff today, and it will surely arouse Aya's great interest, and tomorrow..."

He is kind-hearted, he is the emperor's biological son, and he also knows that there is a huge risk in accompanying the monarch like a tiger, and he is also afraid that Li Zhi's original promise will change, and he always has to reveal a little about his emperor's personality preferences.

He has a very good impression of Li Zhi, but he doesn't want to miss Gaozong's favor to him because of some trivial things.

Seeing Li Dan's desire to speak and stopped, Li Zhixin understood, "I didn't get a piece of chalcedony by chance a few days ago, which happened to be the color of the most noble golden emperor, and the person who built the imperial smoking bottle I have worshipped him as a teacher, the same from the palace court, I have carved jade for the saint, he is called Master Tan!" ”

Li Dan slapped his thigh, "It's done!" It turned out to be Master Tan, so there would be no problem! I also know this old craftsman, I have experienced the three generations of emperors of the Tang Dynasty, and I have always been valued, and I don't have the skills of my subordinates, so I am relieved! ”

"Your Highness, why don't we go to have a look at it at this time, it's next to Xingqing Palace, just a few steps away!"

Li Zhi is also worried about what is wrong with the creation of snuff bottles, after all, it is the first time to give gifts to the emperor, as long as he can do his best to be perfect and please the emperor, he can take the opportunity to raise the issue of advertising.

Li Dan was even more overjoyed, he was now more and more satisfied with Li Zhi, in fact, the quality of the snuff bottle was also related to him, otherwise he would go back to offer the same promise, once something happened in the meantime, it would not be a good result to cause the anger of the old man Long Yan, although he just wanted to do his filial piety.

Sima Chengzhen was naturally not very happy, it was a huge gain to be able to inadvertently befriend Li Zhi, and then there was an opportunity to get closer to the prince, which would be of great benefit to his future moral preaching.

Li Zhi summoned Dong Hui and whispered a few words, Dong Hui turned around and ran away, and after a while, Li Zhi's thirty personal guards were assembled at the gate of the backyard, and Granny Xia and others were also paying attention to this place from afar.

When Li Dan travels, there will naturally be all security measures, but it does not mean that Li Zhi ignores security issues, even if it is just a formality, it must be comprehensive.

Sima Chengzhen said half-jokingly and half-surprised, "I thought that Mr. Li was just a businessman and a doctor, how could he still have a soldier as an entourage?" Well, all capable light cavalry, not a little worse than the prince's personal guards! ”

If someone else said this in front of the prince, he would have an idea, Li Dan smiled and helped interpret it: "Mr. Li is not only the two identities mentioned by the Taoist chief, the gunpowder he developed instantly increased the strength of the Tang army dozens of times, and it is not natural to send a few guards for him!" And Mr. Li is also a literary master! ”

Sima Chengzhen nodded, "Today in the academy, Your Majesty taught people to read a few of Mr. Li's masterpieces, to tell the truth, my expression was shocked at that time!" ”

Li Zhi laughed for a while, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Your Majesty and the Taoist Chief, please wait a while, and let your subordinates bring some rice paper and tissues to the Taoist Chief, the crowd in the East Market is still very dense, so you don't have to go back later!" ”

Not long after, Tong Lao Liu came over with a bunch of rice paper, small notes, and paper towels in his arms and sent them to the carriage guided by Li Zhi.

Sima Chengzhen sighed, he felt a little emotional in his heart, Li Zhi treated him so kindly, but not out of the nature of a businessman, he was a monk with no long things, so he naturally realized Li Zhiqi's respect for him.

Li Dan's subordinates opened the way in front of him, Li Dan was very interested, and he never had the idea of riding a carriage, so he talked and laughed all the way out of the yard.

When Li Zhicai came outside, he found that the "Golden Market" archway in the East City was crowded with dense crowds of onlookers, when the prince of the dynasty came, it was a major rarity, and it was not just anyone who could watch from afar.

Seeing Li Zhi, the owner of Zhengqing Wenqitang, accompanied by him, talking and laughing all the way, that natural and casual appearance indirectly confirmed the rumors that the terror of the power behind this person can reach heaven as far as the legend goes.

Being able to interact like a friend in front of the future emperor is amazing, so everyone looked at Li Zhi, their eyes were full of admiration, and there were countless young women of school age, and there were more inexplicable fiery sights in their eyes.

Zhengqing Wenqi Hall, behind the window on the third floor, the three daughters of Qingqi firmly guarded the best position, and there were Princess Yiyi and Pang Sheng'er on both sides.

Pang Sheng'er was still sour in her mouth: "This brother of the text knows how to do something coquettish!" The prince came and waited for it wholeheartedly, and he also came up with this one and led him to wander around the street. Sister Qingqi, look, if it weren't for the prince's presence, wouldn't the girls in the crowd scream at him? ”

The girls nodded their heads frequently, and then laughed!
