Bastion's visit to the Tang Dynasty this time was not his adventure, but the Eastern Roman Empire's envoy to the Tang Dynasty was one of his uncles.

Therefore, he knows Li Zhi's identity very well, and he is also not worried about the personal safety of following the fleet.

Although his country also has a fleet, the route is basically fixed, and Shengjing Shipping needs to open up the market from all over the country, so it will reach more countries, which is the main reason why he chooses to follow.

The city of Guangzhou also had the Eastern Roman Empire's envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and Bastião could communicate with the Governor's Mansion through there, so that he could travel more securely.

In order to show his kindness, Li Zhi did not forget to give Bastion more than a dozen scattered colored diamonds, which did not cost anything, and he was not distressed at all.

But for the other party, a fingernail is a thousand taels of silver, and more than a dozen grains are stuffed into his hand, which makes him a little trance-like.

No matter how rich this person is, he will not give it so generously, obviously Li Zhi's behavior shocked him.

Li Zhi explained with a smile: "It's not all for you personally, when you return to your country, in order to open up the business territory of Wenqitang, you also need to do something, right?" Use it to open up some joints, and open your mouth if it's not enough! ”

As a result, Li Zhi's image in this person's mind immediately became taller.

Li Zhi also understood in his heart that Bastion's identity hardly needed to be explored, and how could a person who could take out 70,000 taels of gold at one time be an ordinary person.

His friendship with him will never be a trivial episode, and it will certainly come in handy later on.

Bastion had all the goods he had purchased, and he didn't have anything like a bag, so he had to use a carriage to pull it back.

Therefore, this person regretfully declined Li Zhi's dinner invitation, because the value of the goods was too high, and he needed to escort them in person to rest assured.

He had planned to visit here the next day, but Li Zhi would return to Chang'an City tomorrow, and he could only agree to meet in Guangzhou in three months.

Looking at Bastion, who led the people away from the car, Qingqi asked with a smile: "You are very confident in this person?" Will he definitely help us? ”

Li Zhi smiled and affirmed, "This person is very bold, without going through market research, he dared to invest a huge amount of money in procurement, either he can't spend all the money, or he is very optimistic about the prospect of snuff, you must know that our snuff only appeared in Luoyang on the fourth day, his decision is very decisive!" ”

Because he was leaving, Taiping came before the market closed, one was to see him off, and the other was to deal with the next supply problem.

In just a few days, she has experienced the terrible ability to swallow gold from Zhengqing Wenqitang, and with such a good prospect, it would be a shame if the business fell sharply due to untimely supply.

The communication between everyone was in the courtyard of the Wenqitang Garden, and it was still last night's barbecue, but there were a lot of novel game, because they rushed back.

The reason for coming back a day late is very ridiculous, the accident came from the old demon, he was actually stabbed in the ass by a wild boar pretending to be dead.

It is said that the first-level master, even if he is injured, will heal quickly, and what is even more ridiculous is that he was led into a dark ditch between the valleys to take revenge on the wild boar and fell down, and fell unconscious on the spot.

After entering the mountains, considering that the time was limited and they did not get more rare prey, they went their separate ways.

So by the time they found him, several hours had passed.

Because of this incident, Pang Qi was making fun of the old man for half the night, because being stabbed by a wild boar pretending to be dead was really an unbelievable thing for a master.

When it comes to the supply of rice paper in Luoyang City, the first two batches are undoubtedly the fastest way to transport through Qiankun bags, and then they will be transported one after another.

This task was undertaken by Bei Manshan on his own initiative, and he would have to make a few more trips between the two places in the past half a month, Li Zhi naturally would not ask him to pay alone, and the three or five companions would still be guaranteed.

With the temporary saturation of rice paper, the paper mills that have been scattered in Chang'an Chengxia County have opened up the transportation channel, and he can be freed.

There is also the carving of snuff bottles, because the craftsmen are limited, and they also need to meet the needs of Chang'an, Luoyang, and Guangzhou, and they also need to set aside time to catch up.

Zhengqing Wenqitang's liquor sales store has been opened, and the transportation team arranged by Zhang Xu also came yesterday, and it is currently in a state of sufficient goods.

Li Zhi took out the tea leaves and handed them to Taiping, and the excuse for the afternoon was to go to exchange these things, and it was appropriate to take them out at this time.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, remember to find someone to find a tribute channel for these teas, as long as there is the word tribute, its quality will not be bad, our tea house is in the Imperial City Root, this kind of tea will be the largest sales."

Taiping agreed, "Few people can afford to drink those superb teas, and after noon, there are still a lot of tribute refreshments circulating in the market, and guess how much silver was sold today?" ”

"There won't be a thousand taels missing, right?"

"Not so much, but there are more than eight hundred taels."

"That's pretty good!" "After all, a pot of tea can be drunk for an hour or two, especially the literati, who are more concerned about the needs of the environment, and the space is limited, which is incomparable with the business of Zhengqing Wenqitang!" ”

Taiping nodded and smiled, "I already agree with this, the next step will be to dig up a few pastry chefs in the palace, and then find some palace maids who can play musical instruments, and there will be more sources of income!" ”

Li Zhi frowned, "But you have to be strict, don't change the nature of the tea house!" ”

Taiping feigned anger: "Where do you think of going, under the signboard of the imperial pen, who dares to go to our tea house to find some romance?" ”

"That's right!" Qingqi had a little headache, as soon as the two of them met, they would fry the spoon and touch the edge of the pot, rubbing out the sparks, and hurriedly and thin the mud, "Text, you owe it to you, a tea house of that nature, I'm afraid there won't be many people who dare to make loud noises!" ”

Afei Fawan smiled, "The two of them are just bickering, how do you say a saying in Chinese?" By the way, Sister Taiping is a knife mouth, tofu heart, husband is a businessman's nature, everything is careful, there is no bad intention! ”

Yu Ranle said: "Afeifa's analysis is quite thorough, I didn't expect it to be so deep, the key is that you are a foreigner, and you look at the Tang people through a thin veil." ”

"Actually, I am a Tang Dynastyman, because I have violated many doctrinal taboos since I entered the Li family, and the panic in my heart has become weaker and weaker!"

It was the first time for everyone to hear Afeifa's words, and they didn't dare to answer for a while, only Pang Qi said with a big grin:

"You have the aura of Taoist cultivation flowing in your body, and the elder brother who gave you these is a master who is not taboo in meat and vegetables, and the potential influence is still very large, not the influence exerted by my sisters!"

Yi Yi curled her lips and said happily, "Cry, you are so anxious to get yourself out, it means that your heart is empty!" ”

Everyone laughed, and Taiping suddenly sighed: "I envy the laughter and slapstick between your sisters, how is it like the sisters in our clan, who are harmonious on the surface, and stab each other behind their backs!" Alas! ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Why don't you remarry, I am still very satisfied with a princess of the Tang Dynasty who will make me small!" ”

Taiping gave him a vicious look, "Are you for those money, you have become a family, and the silver has not become yours?" ”

There was another burst of laughter, and at this time several kinds of grilled food were also brought to the table.

Qingqi looked at Afifa, who smiled, "Don't worry about me, Ligaya and Fatumai are not here, but no one cares about me, so I can't see anything!" ”

The barbecue is not mixed with wild boar, but there are many other types of meat.

"Look at Amin, when he comes to such an occasion, he himself is far away!" Pang said.

Not far away, Ah Ming, who was at the same table as Jiyuan, said angrily: "Follow the local customs, it's good if I notice it personally, I am mainly facing Princess Afeifa, and I am under great psychological pressure." ”

In Muslim countries, the concept of respect and inferiority is even more important than that of the Tang Dynasty, Ah Ming is a servant, and Ah Ming is telling the truth.

Nibbling on a rabbit's head, Taiping raised his eyes and looked at Li Zhi, "There are three glazed bricklayers you want me to help you find, but they need to settle their families, and they may arrive in Chang'an City later!" ”

Li Zhicai remembered this, "Just go to Chang'an City together, and it's not that you can't afford to support them!" ”

"I found that you know very little about the situation in the palace, how can they easily lose their status as a master craftsman, and the immediate family members of the master can be exempted from military service, you don't know such common sense cognition?"

"Hehe, this is the first time I've heard of it! So, I can't dig them up, so I can only borrow them for a few years? ”

"A few years? You want to be beautiful, a year is the palace is extraordinarily gracious, I can't open my mouth in my own name, otherwise I will be named by someone with a heart in the name of eating inside and outside, and I will always lose some face! Do you think everyone is afraid of me, the princess? ”

"How did I hear that many high-ranking families have imperial chefs? Aren't they also the status of master craftsmen? ”

"There is an essential difference in nature! The imperial craftsman refers to the craftsman who has a secret craft inheritance, such as the three-color glazed craftsman, although not as strict as the glaze craftsman master, it can be regarded as a selection from a place, although the imperial chef has also undergone a selection, but the imperial cuisine recipe is from the folk selection, and even the ancestral dishes of ordinary people are fundamentally different! ”

Li Zhi was a little stunned, "It turns out that there are these Taoists in it, such as musicians, kabuki, and imperial chefs?" ”

"Well, yes, I know how to draw inferences!" Taiping wiped the oil from the corners of his mouth, and he subscribed to have a palace maid even if he handed over the silk handkerchief.

"That's right!" Taiping suddenly remembered something, "I remember that when Bei Manshan came again, he brought a few sets of steam bath rooms, and my mother heard about it from somewhere, and asked about it today!" ”

"At such a long distance, even the Qiankun bag can't hold a few, and it has to be disassembled." Li Zhi pondered for a while and replied.

"It's okay to disassemble, there are countless capable people in the palace, it's easy to copy it, it is said that you have it here, I haven't used it for a long time!"

Qingqi understood what it meant, and turned her head to the maids and ordered them to burn it in advance.

Li Zhi knew that there was no similar bath room in the palace, she was changing the law and not leaving, she should be a little reluctant to herself!
