In public and private, a person with such a major contribution, as a direct descendant of the royal family surnamed Li, Princess Taiping, will only have a good impression of this person.

It was at this time that Princess Taiping deeply felt why her father insisted on giving him the Shang Fang sword, this person was clearly supporting the construction of the national army with practical actions.

And such behavior is not a one-time utilitarian act, but a frequent reality, she is a ruthless woman with a lot of ideas, and the purest royal family surnamed Li blood is still flowing in her body first.

For Li Zhi's selfless act, she feels a lot more than anyone with a foreign surname, which is also undoubted.

The psychological changes produced by this moment made Princess Taiping look at Li Zhi again, and there was already a meaningful color in her eyes:

"Mr. Li, my sister thinks we can have a deeper cooperation. For example, in Luoyang City, the location of your Zhengqing Wenqi Hall, I can use the means of royal rewards to reserve a store for you that is satisfactory in terms of location and area. It is my peace, and I am personally grateful for my father and mother! ”

"I will go to Luoyang City sooner or later, but first of all, we must lay a solid foundation for Chang'an City, maybe it will be two or three years later! Thank you for your help, I will ask the princess for help when needed! ”

At present, Luoyang City is still too much for Li Zhi to avoid, he doesn't want to fall into the tiger's mouth, although he knows that this trip is inevitable, he also needs to try his best to do something to push back.

"Mr. Li, can you think that you are deliberately avoiding there? Forgive me for saying this, you and I are both understanding people, first of all, you have a great contribution to Datang, this is an indelible fact. And no one dares to try to bully when you go there, business is just business, in order to ensure that you contribute more and more to Datang, I think my two brothers, no matter which one becomes the son of heaven, will only treat you differently! ”

Silently perceiving the sincerity in Princess Taiping's heart, Li Zhi was also a little moved.

There is no other reason, this woman has many wrongs, and there are still commendable things in character, but from what point can it be clear that this woman is unbearable?

Tell me that she has been lascivious all her life? Probably influenced by the northern Hu blood of Li Tang, the Tang Dynasty should be the most open dynasty in ancient China with the concept of sexuality, and the so-called "dirty Tang" also implies that the Tang Dynasty did not adhere to the rules and etiquette, and ignored the unprecedented "sexual freedom" of human morality.

Say she's a feminist? Which member of the royal family under the Son of Heaven is not ambitious? Who wants to become an emperor who is not ruthless and ruthless?

Saying that she is extravagant and flashy, does not abide by the law, and plots to usurp power? We should treat this issue with different opinions and opinions, and have their own judgments from different positions and angles.

Li Zhi only sees the benefits of being close to it at this moment, which can effectively reduce the hostility and protective thoughts of the Empress Wu for him, and can make the surname Li and the Wu family have a relatively soothing intermediary to resolve the conflict.

In addition, only to build the nearby area of Chang'an City, at the beginning of the plan, it is easy to attract the attention of people with intentions, and Li Zhi takes the initiative to develop the cause to Luoyang City, which will positively offset most of the doubts.

And the panacea between the two sides can more reasonably contribute advanced technology similar to gunpowder in the boundary of Luoyang City, so as to make the Wuhou side convinced of their loyalty.

He knew that the later change of power took place in the palace, and the direct beneficiaries of advanced technology were the Tang army and the toiling masses.

Accepting Princess Taiping's invitation also made entering Luoyang City seem to happen naturally, rather than imposing persecution or inducement of interests.

"Her Royal Highness the princess's descendants are still young, and it is not a matter of time to come and go to Luoyang City, so Her Royal Highness Lao will help Zhengqing Wenqitang pay attention to it. Besides, I will not let His Highness contribute in vain, I must know that some time ago Liujian Village was plotted, and several of them also played an accomplice role in it, as the most direct operator of the paper mill, and the person with the largest number of individual shares, I would propose to transfer the names of those forces to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

He had this intention, not with the intention of handing over part of the benefits to win over Princess Taiping, a prince and princess like her are in the same position as the prince, but the officials on the surface can't eat it all in a few lifetimes, where can they care about less than one percent of the shares, although the dividends on rice paper are still quite amazing.

His move was nothing more than a message to the military queen that he didn't care who was in charge, as long as it was beneficial to business, everything had room for maneuver.

And he himself will not lean towards one side or the other, and only wants to make the business bigger and stronger.

This is just Li Zhi's wishful thinking at this time, how to judge, the Empress Wu who can control the power of a country naturally has another decision, but the timing he chose is very ingenious, which will make the Empress Wu's existing judgment significantly shaken.

Once a person's already persistent view of a certain matter is loosened, it means that there are infinite possibilities in the future, and Li Zhi will not be naïve enough to think that with a few shares, he can impress the old and cunning martial queen.

Therefore, the loosening of the seemingly inconspicuous inherent understanding brought him an introduction to ease the tense confrontation between the two sides in the future.

Obviously, Princess Taiping is not good at stubble, Li Zhi put forward such a plan, so that she understood the reason, because of the recent orders passed by his mother, all of them are related to this person, and she must know the position of this person in the eyes of the Empress Wu.

But just as she invited Li Zhi to Luoyang City, Li Zhi's move was also expressing his goodwill. In her opinion, Li Zhi's name was given by his father, and he is not a real person surnamed Li, but he is so willing to work for the royal family surnamed Li, which is only human nature.

Once Li Tang is no longer in power, the bigger the business, the more necessary it is to get close to those in power, which is also the normal feeling of reasonable people.

Therefore, Princess Taiping thought that she took the opportunity to win over Li Zhi, on the one hand, because of his selfless dedication to the Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, for the sake of the queen mother.

With this kind of foresight, of course, she was willing to accept Li Zhi's kindness, and she didn't answer that little bit, but asked this sentence:

"Mr. Li, my sister has a sentence that wants to know the most true answer, why do you insist on taking measures against that Li Yin Li Wannian?"

Li Zhi smiled, "There is one premise and two reasons for answering His Highness's question. The premise is that because I hung Shang Fang's sword high in the high pavilion, the Holy One was almost angry with me, and your two brothers were there at the time, and they could testify for me! ”

It stands to reason that this sentence blocked all the doubts, how dare I disobey what your father explained.

But out of respect for Princess Taiping's issue, and also to convey it to Luoyang City through her mouth, he still put forward the following reasons:

"Reason 1, three southern guests have confessed that this Guangdong Jiedu envoy Li Yin is not only plotting the rice paper process belonging to the imperial court industry, but also contacting several military forces along the way, intending to intercept tens of thousands of taels of silver rice paper halfway, which is a ferocious and extremely illegal act, and even intends to put me to death; Reason 2, I was ordered by the Holy Emperor to build the Chang'an City Commercial and Economic Zone, Shang Fangjian gave me the primary authority is to eradicate all those who intend to conspire and destroy, Liujian Village Paper Mill is not only my personal first pot of gold mining, but also the foundation of building a business blueprint! Imagine, if you are Her Royal Highness the Princess, you will get by with this matter, will it be more difficult in business in the future? ”

Princess Taiping sighed deeply, "The premise that Mr. Li said, I have occasionally heard before, it is said that Aya also threatened you to take back the Shang Fang Sword. As for the latter two reasons, now I don't think what you did was wrong, and even in the past few days, several counties in Chang'an City have appeared almost overnight, and I have heard about twenty large and small paper mills. To be honest, now that I think about it one by one, Mr. Li's business is indeed very hard! ”

She turned her head to look at Wu Sansi: "Cousin, you will go to King Jing's Mansion to convey the meaning of me and the Xue family, and limit him to recall that Li Yin and Li Wannian back to Chang'an City within ten days, no matter what means, if he can't do it, I will consider personally asking my father to ask!" ”

Wu Sansi immediately got up and was about to go, Li Zhi hurriedly grabbed him, "A few diamonds on this table, please also ask General Wu to transfer them to the general's wife, rush back to Chang'an City in a hurry, and when you have the finished product in the future, you will come to visit!" ”

Wu Sansi looked at Princess Taiping, she smiled and instructed: "Forget about the finished products in the future, just bring these cousins, polish them, every grain is priceless, Mr. Li has a heart!" ”

Regarding Li Zhi's kindness, Wu Sansi smiled and patted Li Zhi on the shoulder, as if there had never been any disagreement before.

When he left, Princess Taiping told King Song and King Jiancheng about the shortcomings of their parents, and the blood relationship between them was not far away, and there were many things of common interest.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving for a while, just out of politeness, Li Zhi could only invite his three ladies out.

Princess Taiping took their hands with great enthusiasm, and soon someone from the princess's door handed over gifts, which were counted as a meeting gift for the ladies.

Originally, the county lord of Qingqi was also related to him, but it was already far away, but the two were also old acquaintances, with her in the middle, Yu Ran and Pang Cry were also hot on the surface.

After all, because of this person's approval, Zhengqing Wenqitang got a huge favorite place in the West Market, that is, Pang Qi, who never wanted to hide it, was disgusted in his heart, and he was just as cautious.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that Princess Taiping said goodbye and left, and the three Song Kings under the tree raised their fingers at Li Zhifrequently.

"In today's situation, it is the most ideal to be so properly resolved, and I was even worried that when you saw Wu Sansi, you couldn't help but make some rash moves!"

It was King Jiancheng who said this, and King Song patted him on the shoulder, "You still don't know a little about the text!" This kid is sometimes more sophisticated than me, an old fritter in officialdom. ”

"That's, otherwise how could he make such a big business? But you and I have seen that this Princess Taiping is not a simple person, she is only seventeen years old, and her experience in handling things is impressive! ”

King Jiancheng's emotion attracted Li Qi to echo: "Her Royal Highness the princess is an old man, but our Mr. Li is also not inferior to her, and the two old men didn't find that the rhythm of the conversation was always controlled in his hands?" And this person is very hypocritical, I don't believe he didn't know in advance, outside the wall is Princess Taiping's mansion! ”

Li Zhi was happy, "We are a family, so I will tell the truth!" Including the less than one percent of the shares, I will get a dozen or dozens of times the return from her! We can't offend this person at the moment, how to make the Wuhou side forget about Chang'an City for the time being, the key lies in that little bit of shares. I also planned to get his house for a long time, but I didn't expect King Jing to come out with such a moth, but it was like the princess herself sent it to the door! ”

"But your contribution is not small, just those dozen diamonds, it's not a small amount!" King Song shook his head.

"I dug it out in the deep mountains and old forests by myself, and I didn't lose anything. There are more than a dozen grains here, and you have also picked a few grains, I asked someone to invite the old Ming Wang, and I will eat some in this courtyard tonight! ”

This time, the three girls of Qingqi took the initiative to take a run, mainly because they were still thinking about the cat's eye bracelet carved by Master Tan, which was full of spirituality, far more like life than these diamonds.
