Li Zhixin understood: "I'm not so reckless, I discussed this matter with the King of Nanjiang three days ago, and the result is exactly the same as the emperor's intentions, and I am planning to pass it on to him through you!" ”

Li Ling seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "This kind of worry can't be blamed on others, even the emperor is surprised by what you have done in Luofu Mountain!" Fourth brother, do you know what the Holy One said about you before I came? ”

Li Zhi just nodded with a smile, saying that he was looking forward to the result, but in fact, he was laughing in his heart, Li Ling, who had never been smiling, actually had the interest of selling Guanzi.

"The old man said: This son is decisive in killing, quite a general's style, and extremely domineering! Although he is sometimes rough and reckless, he has a loving and righteous nature; Doesn't focus too much on power and arbitrariness, but is full of energy and hates hypocrisy; And has a sense of urgency to control a party's space and domain, because they don't like to leave their fate in the hands of others! ”

Hearing this, Li Zhixin couldn't help but shiver plainly, it is undeniable that Gaozong almost dissected himself without concealment, although he could never guess the rebirth fate inside, but the other related things were to the point, and there was almost no mistake.

Therefore, he believes that Gaozong's wisdom is too profound, and he is good at enduring humiliation and burden, and it is very hidden, so that the historical comments on this person in later generations are too superficial, and it is difficult to find out about it unless Li Zhi can get close to him.

Some people may also think that Li Zhi has a very high sense of strategy, but only he knows himself, and a lot of wisdom comes from prophetic foresight, which is equivalent to cheating.

Therefore, some exquisite designs in the eyes of others, Li Zhi thought that they were not worth mentioning, so he admired more and more that Gaozong did not have any external force to rely on the superior wisdom of others.

Gao Zongqi is a real ordinary human body, but Li Zhi, who is good at covering up his various identities, can analyze it so thoroughly, how can he not make him feel terrified by this person's high IQ?

And at this moment, Li Ling did not have such a profound experience, seeing that Li Yi was silent for a while, he was moved by such a high evaluation:

"What, the emperor said that you went to your heart? Or are you afraid that he will be on guard against you? ”

Li Zhi suddenly smiled and said: "I can't tell what kind of person I am, I'm just wondering, the emperor has a lot of things to consider, why does he have such an in-depth study of me?" ”

"This shows that you have an extremely important position in his heart, otherwise how could Shang Fang's sword be handed over to you? And you do have the sincerity to give up a new type of gunpowder, otherwise with your merchant nature, such a move would not be reasonable! ”

Li Zhi laughed, quite pleased with Li Ling's words, "Second brother, I suddenly discovered that you are not indifferent in nature, but have hidden your humorous temperament!" ”

Li Ling smiled noncommittally, and changed the topic, "Fourth brother, I don't understand business, so I'm curious why you value the construction of that trade city?" ”

"The Trade City is only the first batch of construction, and it only specializes in fabrics and garments, which has great limitations. My goal is to attract financial resources from all over the world to Chang'an City, and the next investment will also be used for commercial development, such as furniture city and snack city. However, that's not all, my ultimate plan is to build the entire city into a comprehensive commercial base that is second to none in the entire Datang! This future base is beyond the format, whether it is high-end jade or furniture, whether it is food, clothing, shoes and hats, whether it is groceries or women's counters, will be reflected here one by one. ”

"Good fellow, it turns out that your plan is so far-reaching, so in this way, a single trade city is just your test of the waters?"

"It's not just about testing the waters, but about spreading the reputation of the cloth professionalism, and after all the merchants from Datang gathered, it was my first goal to achieve. With the rise of the cloth market, the sales of related materials and garment manufacturing are bound to have a broad market. In fact, the geographical location of Chang'an City is very superior, and in such a place, it is bound to form a discerning and fashionable shopping group. In other words, the business model developed there must be one step ahead in order to gain the recognition of people in other regions. Without this leading step, it is likely to cause a large number of merchants to lose, and they will choose to go to the south or Luoyang to shop. ”

"This is the centerpiece of the commercial center you came up with? But it will be at least a few years before the initial scale is formed, right? ”

Li Zhi shook his head, this future commercial city will gather merchants from all over the world and gather department stores all over the world, which is bound to become the most powerful and prestigious new business model in history.

However, it will not take a few years to form a preliminary scale, as long as the first commercial building meets expectations, there will be countless forces in Chang'an City, taking the initiative to participate in the next follow-up construction.

In a few years, all kinds of commercial gathering areas will be fully opened in all corners of the city, so that Chang'an City can maintain its leading position in various industries for a long time.

Large-scale and widely influential commercial activities will occupy an increasingly important financial source for the Tang Dynasty, and it is the biggest reliance on the economy that will not easily shake after winning the imperial power after the martial arts.

And make his enemies in Chang'an City, in order to protect their own commercial interests, and condense together, which is the core goal of the commercial center, so as to let the royal family surnamed Li survive more.

In fact, due to the emergence of Zhengqing Wenqitang and the emergence of many business opportunities supported, a preliminary scale has been formed, which is the foundation of the trade city.

Once the trade city is completed and put into operation, it will inevitably be ten or dozens of times the influence of Zhengqing Wenqitang before, and more and more people with huge business ambitions like Bampu can be born in response to the situation.

These people have their own interest groups behind them, and they have enough background and family power to rely on, so that such bureaucrats and aristocrats can run business for as long as possible, which is the most ideal environment for the Li clan to achieve.

Coupled with the entire Datang Gunpowder Manufacturing and Stockpiling Cliff Mountain Arsenal outside the city, it is possible to prevent any foreign invasion from breaking through the city.

It is not the first time that Li Ling has learned about this economic plan, but he has never had such a deep understanding as today, and hearing Li Zhi's first detailed description of it, it is the first time that he has ignited a passion in his heart as if a fire is burning.

He listened quietly to Li Zhi's interpretation, feeling that his words were simply word for word, and he was unconsciously infected by the prospects outlined by it.

As for Li Zhi, in the face of this military person's tireless explanation, the purpose of which is to get him to completely repeat everything he talked about to Gaozong.

This is the only way to resist the suppression of the armed forces, and it is fair and upright, without any cover-up, and can promote the rapid development of the entire economy of Datang at the same time.

Although Li Zhi had previously explored the matter in depth with Gaozong, there had been no commercial results at that time.

Nowadays, Chang'an City has formed a unique development trend, and it is the culmination of the advanced operation mode of later generations, which belongs to the pioneering move in history so far.

This is also the reason why Li Zhi was so angry at King Gelin's brutal interference, so as to make it clear that his counterattack was completely out of public intentions, so as to get Gaozong's full support.

At this moment, Li Ling was gradually stunned by this crazy but seductive idea, because he could clearly feel that Chang'an City would become a huge commercial city in the future, a real castle, and it would definitely benefit the entire Li clan.

"Now I completely understand, why did the emperor hand over the royal family surnamed Li to you! But time is pressing, this is not only a challenge, but also a once-in-a-century opportunity, through this pass, surnamed Li will usher in a glorious tomorrow! ”

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, Li Ling sighed with a lot of feelings, and his tone was obviously excited after being shocked.

Li Zhi also sighed with emotion, "Therefore, even if King Ge Lin does not have the idea of falling to the Empress Wu, this person will not be able to keep him, at least he lacks a sense of the overall situation, and for the sake of selfish distractions, he will do everything he can, and it is difficult to bear the burden of the minister's ability." This person is not ignorant of this economic plan, but still stubbornly uses selfish thoughts, and his heart can be punished! ”

If it was just out of personal thoughts, Li Ling originally chose to trust Li Zhi unconditionally.

Now that he has a clearer understanding and cognition, he is no longer like before, hiding his true feelings everywhere:

"Fourth brother, no matter what aspect of your talent you are, you can be called a genius, no wonder your own forces will entrust the future trend to you, and everything is also arranged around you, your second brother's ideological realm has just had a clear understanding!"

His words are not complete compliments, he supported Li Zhi before, more out of family affection that is not family affection, and after today, he can be regarded as completely getting rid of the blindness.

But his feelings also ended here for the time being, because the lights in the courtyard were turned on, the bonfire was lit, and Pang Ti also ran over to greet them, and the dinner party was about to begin.

Li Ling walked past Li Zhi, who got up, slapped him hard, looked at him and smiled, and was in a very good mood for a while.

During the exchange between the two, King Ming and King Nanjiang also reached a consensus with Mahdi's side, and when they saw Li Zhi's arrival, King Ming summoned him to his side:

"Special Envoy Mahdi has agreed, and the departure date of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year will be delayed by three days, which can be regarded as compensating for the hard work of our family, and there will be no time for the New Year!"

Mahdi laughed: "In my opinion, after fifteen years before we set off, Datang is really worthy of the Holy Land of the East Earth, and even the folk customs and activities that you think are the most common are actually enjoyable for us who come from afar!" ”

King Ming also responded with a smile, "Just now Qingqi and Princess Afifa told me, Lord Mansur will leave the matter to me, and Datang will invite you as soon as possible!" Not only him, but anyone here in the future will be willing to come to live in Datang when they are old and retired, and we will arrange everything in time! ”

Apparently this topic had been discussed before, because the joy on the faces of the Mansour at this time was already showing that they were in a very good mood.
