The first batch of orders has a single variety, which is all kinds of fruit wine produced by Zhengqing Wenqitang.

Wine accounts for eighty percent of the total, and according to Aimar, it was because the Emperor tasted the wine brought back by Nasir and Amin, and now it has been used by him as the only alcohol drink in the meal.

It is said that the dignified Arab Empire only costs 10,000 taels of silver at one time, which is not too conspicuous, after all, there are many single items in the Zhengqing Dynasty Wenqitang that are higher than this number.

But what Aimar mentioned next, the order for an Arab scimitar made of Tang knife material worth one million taels surprised Li Zhi.

However, one million taels is not all cash, but sixty percent of it is replaced by Uzi iron ore, which makes Li Zhi more and more satisfied.

The blades made of Tianzhu Uzi steel are extremely sharp and famous all over the world, but at that time they were already among the scarce minerals that had been exhausted.

The Uzi steel forged from this is the main material of the new Tang knife at present.

However, because the ore source is not enough to meet the demand, the new Tang knife has adopted the lowest Uzi steel content configuration.

In a few years, the original Uzzi iron ore will be extinct, if you can exchange hundreds of thousands of catties of Uzzi iron ore through the Arabian scimitar order, it will be a quite cost-effective deal.

However, in order to make this order, it is necessary for the imperial court to issue a trade license document, after all, the Arab scimitar is the most important military item of the Arab Empire, and high-quality knives are undoubtedly a powerful guarantee to enhance the military strength of the empire.

In the diplomacy of the ancient countries, the principle of strength has been implemented in a clear and undisguised manner, the substantive inequality of international relations is fundamental, and military exchanges between major powers of equal strength have always been very cautious.

From Li Zhi's point of view, he will definitely not regard this as a threat to the Tang army, and he still has countless military transformation plans under development.

For example, the creation of a crossbow can make it impossible for the enemy to engage in close combat, and the threat of a sword is not empty talk.

It's just that the current attitude of the imperial court is the key, and he can only communicate with the military in advance before he can respond.

Fortunately, the current relationship between the two countries is approaching a honeymoon period, which makes it possible to trade orders indefinitely, which would not have been possible a year or even a few months ago.

As for the rice paper business, Innasir and Amin returned some time ago to deal with the establishment of related paper mills, and it is now time to produce products.

Like the military's military products, Li Zhijun has two components, and if you exclude labor and transportation costs, the profit is not much lower than that of direct export of rice paper.

On the contrary, due to religious taboos, snuff will not be purchased in large quantities in the Western Regions, so Li Zhi can only rely on Europe as a breakthrough for export.

The reason why he attaches great importance to snuff is that Li Zhi has his careful thoughts, and China in the Ming and Qing dynasties was plagued by foreign ordinary cigarettes, snuff, cigars, hookahs, etc., and he planned to use this to impact the powerful countries of Europe in later generations.

Outside of business, Li Zhi did not reveal anything about King Li Kai to Aimar, this person, like Nasir, has a slightly insufficient status, and only figures of the level of the emperor's envoy Mahdi will have the right to make a direct decision.

Finally, I had time to communicate with King Li Kai, and Taiping faced Li Zhidao, who came over: "Uncle Ji of my society just said that I want you to write a poem in Luoyang, and from the perspective of your newcomer, you can give a more rational description of Luoyang City." ”

Li Zhi laughed, "It's not a secret, the day before yesterday I came to Luoyang City alone, and I was full of emotion under the city gate, and I already had a poem, temporarily named "Autumn Thoughts"! ”

"Oh? I'm looking forward to it, let's see what kind of amazing masterpiece the rumored juvenile poetry will have! King Li Kai was full of interest.

Since ancient times, Luoyang has been known as the city of poetry, and it is related to Luoyang in history, or the poems that mention Luoyang's scenery are vast, and this unique spirit and historical heritage is enough to make Luoyang unique in the world.

Li Zhi stole one of them, and it was like a matter of effort, and it was really not difficult.

He chose the famous poem "Autumn Thoughts" by the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji, and was born a hundred years in advance, and Li did not feel much guilt in his heart.

Because of himself, the entire Tang Dynasty will benefit immensely, this is his pride.

Seeing the autumn breeze in Luoyang City, I want to write a book. I can't say enough in a hurry, and the pedestrians are about to open the seal.

The gist of the poem is: The autumn wind began to blow again in Luoyang City, and the cool breeze blew up the thousands of thoughts buried in my heart, so I wanted to write a letter to express my love for my family. Worried that there was something that had not been written in the hurry, he opened the envelope again and checked it before the messenger was about to leave.

The seemingly simple four-sentence seven-character poem, only Aimar did not have a clear perception on the scene, but it was a huge auditory impact on others.

The reason can be seen from King Li Kai's shocked interpretation: "Mr. Li, this is a quatrain!" I know that my Tang Dynasty quatrains, more allegorical scenes, scene blending, less narrative components. But a few months ago, a kind of narrative poem quietly appeared in Luoyang City, once circulated, now the narrative elements are gradually increasing, daily life often becomes the subject of quatrains, and the style has also changed from the majestic and noble and romantic atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty to realism. ”

Li Zhixin smiled secretly, it was very timely for him to steal the poems, and it would be a little late to come out.

Sure enough, King Li Kai sighed: "But such a move to create a poetic style of writing, there is still a lack of a shocking masterpiece that can be passed on to future generations, and in my opinion, this "Autumn Thoughts" by Mr. is a stunning work!" ”

"Uncle Sheji, you can explain it to us!"

Although Princess Taiping is not as brilliant as Shangguan Wan'er, she is also familiar with poetry since she was a child, so how can she not understand the expression in the poem.

This invitation is nothing more than flattery, intended to tickle the most itchy part of King Li Kai, in order to please the old man.

Li Zhi secretly praised, Li Kaiwang was very useful as expected, so he talked with great interest:

This poem "Autumn Thoughts" is allegorical, with the help of a pregnant fragment in daily life - the details of the thoughts and actions when sending the letter to the family, it is very real and delicate to express the deep nostalgia of the guests for their relatives in their hometown. At the beginning, I saw the three words of autumn wind, and I went straight to the theme, living in Luoyang City, and seeing the autumn wind. The narrative is flat, not exaggerated, but it has implications. The autumn breeze is invisible, audible, touchable, and felt, as if it were invisible. ”

"Doesn't that sound like an ordinary thing to me?" Taiping Yingfeng is endless.

"Not really! Just as the spring breeze can dye the earth green and bring boundless spring color, the killing atmosphere contained in the autumn wind can also make the leaves yellow and fall, and the flowers wither, bringing a piece of autumn light and autumn color to the nature and the world. It is invisible, but it is everywhere. As a guest in a foreign land, seeing all this desolate and shaky scene, it is inevitable to arouse the lonely and lonely feelings of being detained in a foreign land, and cause a long longing for his hometown and relatives. ”

"Does the second sentence highlight a word of desire?"

"Yes, the second sentence is closely related to the autumn wind, writing thoughts positively, and using the word desire to lead to a story. What it expresses is the poet's thoughts and moods when he lays out the paper and stretches out the pen: a thousand sorrows arise in his heart, and he feels that there are endless words to pour, and he doesn't know where to start or how to express them for a while. The whole text is smooth and free, and the air runs through, but at the end of the sentence, there are three words, and suddenly there is a reverse fold, just like the calligraphy of the unavoidable. Therefore, the feelings of the poet here do not go downstream, but dig deeper. This technique seems ordinary, but it is extremely superb. Wonderful poem, it can be called a quatrain! ”

"But I prefer the last two sentences, the idea is novel, the style is beautiful, beautiful and moving, and it should be widely recited."

Aside from the specific process and content of the letter, the third and fourth sentences only cut out a detail when the letter was about to be sent. Not only because of the heavy meaning and feel that there is no way to write, but also because of the trust of the pedestrian to carry the letter and have no time to think about it, the deep and rich affection and the inexpressible contradictions, coupled with the rush of time, actually make this letter contain a thousand words of longing after parting with relatives. The whole poem is written in one go, clear as words, simple and true to express the mentality of the wanderer. ”

The more deeply others analyzed, the more embarrassed Li Zhi felt, and was about to excuse himself for a while, when someone happened to come to report, but it was the document that was read out by the imperial court.

The court reward is different from the emperor's holy edict, the handover procedure is very simple, and in the blink of an eye, the relevant title deed is in hand.

Sending away Aimar and King Li Kai who went to the East City Gate to greet Afifa and his party, Li Zhi followed Princess Taiping to the Diluo Nanli Fang District of the Baiguan Mansion.

Since then, the official residence belonging to Li Zhi is in Xiuwenfang, which was originally the residence of King Yong, the second son of Tang Gaozong, and Li Xian, the prince of Zhang Huai.

Li Xian, the second son of Wu Zetian and the sixth son of Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong, succeeded as the crown prince after the death of his brother Li Hong, and was later deposed as a concubine for the crime of treason and exiled to Bazhou.

Obviously, this was given to Li Zhi, and there was Wu Zetian's will, after all, she was the agent of the current affairs of the DPRK and China.

The deep meaning of this move is very deep, in order to prevent the abolished prince from plotting outside, the Empress Wu has already secretly sent cool officials to Bazhou to monitor.

Now that Gaozong has allowed the king of Li to live, even if he has not been in the palace due to illness, someone will report the desk matters to her.

It was she who used this to warn Li Zhi of the fate of her plans outside.

This is on the way, by Princess Taiping carefully explained to Li Zhiwan, Li Zhiben did not know the original owner of the Xiuwenfang, hearing such an explanation, he just smiled faintly.

Originally, he only regarded this place as an official residence, used to communicate with the people in the official mansion, and the Wenqitang Annexation Garden was his daily residence, which was very close to the Zhengqing Wenqitang, and it was more convenient to come and go.

At the same time, he also understood that Wu Zetian was not only targeting him, but also the meaning of refuting Gaozong's face.

Knowing that this person's life is short, she will use every opportunity to reduce the influence of the royal family surnamed Li to highlight her power.

Taiping Zheng felt very embarrassed because he instantly understood his mother's thoughts, so he apologized to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi laughed in a low voice: "Think about it, if you are like this, this is just a very normal side reminder, the emperor's mind has not been delayed by her excuses, it is already quite face-saving, you don't have to be so worried!" ”

As if she didn't expect Li Zhi to be so reasonable, Princess Taiping's face suddenly relaxed, and then she looked at Li Zhi, and the love in her eyes was even stronger.

Although the original Li Xian's house is still intact and the scale is magnificent, it also needs to be repainted and decorated.

However, it is far more majestic than the princess mansion given by Princess Taiping in Chang'an City, and the architectural style and scale are much more majestic, which still makes Li Zhixin satisfied.

He doesn't care if there is an unlucky meaning left in this mansion, the inheritor of the two royal characters engraved on his body, as long as he has not ascended the throne and sat in the palace, there are a few people who are good.

And at the first time, he noticed that there was something hidden under the ground of the original building, which was not hidden by Li Xian, but a cultivator's tomb, or a remnant corner of the Xiuzhen Cave Mansion.

It was more like a cave with one side of the cave wall collapsing and filled with broken rock.

Because of the passage of time, most of the wood has decayed, and only the precarious ruins of the cave wall are left in the collapse site.

In the center of a solid stone platform, there is a skeleton sitting cross-legged, it may be too long, although the skeleton is leaning against the wall, it still collapses to seventy-seven eighty-eight, the skull is diagonally supported on the shoulder, it looks extremely weird!
