Chapter 137

"What is this?!"

Hearing His Majesty Li Er's question, Ge Bao, the old eunuch next to him, hurriedly took it.

"This is stone honey, the slave maid tasted it, it is even better than the one purchased by the inner house!"

His Majesty Li Er looked at Ge Bao and smiled meaningfully.

"You're quite heartfelt!"

Ge Bao scoffed.

Who knew that Ye Xiaoniang next to her shook her head.

"Nope! This is not stone honey! ”

"But I taste like stone honey!"

Ge Bao looked at Ye Xiaoniang next to him with a puzzled expression.

Interesting!

His Majesty Li Er also looked at Ye Xiaoniang, planning to hear what this guy had to say.

"It's an improved recipe for stone honey, and I wanted to give it a new name."

"Oh?! Then tell me, what is this new stone honey called?! ”

"Sugar!"

Sugar?!

His Majesty Li Er's eyes suddenly burst into light.

Ye Xiaoniang nodded.

"That's right! Datang rice, call it sugar! What I think is that one day, this commodity called sugar will be able to trade all over the world, attracting the admiration of all nations. ”

This remark smacks of sycophancy.

After all, if this new stone honey is called sugar, then it must be related to Datang.

And now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is His Majesty Li Er.

In the future, once the world mentions this kind of goods, they will inevitably think of His Majesty Li Er.

What a feat!

Unlike Empress Changsun, Empress Changsun is in charge of the inner library, while His Majesty Li Er watches the concertographs of the household department every day.

How much profit Shi Mi has, His Majesty Li Er knows very well.

In the first year of Zhenguan, in the market of Chang'an, half a catty of stone honey can be exchanged for a load of rice.

Now His Majesty Li Er happens to have no money.

It would be nice to be able to replenish the treasury with the money from this trade.

But can such sugar really compete with the stone honey of the Brahmins?!

Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er picked up a piece of rock candy and threw it into his mouth.

Seeing His Majesty Li Er's actions like this, Ye Xiaoniang couldn't help but hold her breath.

It tastes pretty good!

There are a lot less impurities than Brahmanite honey.

After a long time, His Majesty Li Er said leisurely.

"Have you thought of a name for the Royal Chamber of Commerce?!"

"The proposed name is the Tang Dragon's Tooth, and I ask the Holy Lord to decide."

"Tang Dragon Teeth?!"

His Majesty Li Er muttered a few words, but nodded.

The dragon's tooth is the meaning of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and it also shows the grandeur of a great country.

"Very good! However, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, I heard that the king of Beiping and the princess are skilled in bows and horses?! ”

This is a long-term plan?!

Didn't His Majesty Li Er also think that the Chamber of Commerce was very good?!

Why did you turn a corner here and ask about the martial arts of the two?!

Ye Xiaoniang was a little confused, but Li Beiwang took it.

"I can't talk about being skilled in bows and horses, I just know a little bit about martial arts."

"In that case, I and Sikong are going to hunt in the eastern suburbs in the near future, so the two of you will go over together when the time comes!"

After finishing speaking, His Majesty Li Er shook his hand and signaled that the two of them could leave.

When Empress Changsun took the two out of the main hall, Ye Xiaoniang asked Li Beiwang next to her.

"Brother Beiwang, why did Your Majesty suddenly talk about hunting in the eastern suburbs?!"

Empress Eldest Sun glanced back at Ye Xiaoniang behind her, with a slight resentment in her eyes.

Ye Xiaoniang is now the princess of Beiping, and it is indeed inappropriate to call Li Beiwang so in the eyes of Empress Changsun.

Li Beiwang was silent for a moment, and then saw that Empress Changsun did not react, so he said slowly.

"The emperor mentioned Sikong Pei Lone!"

Pei Lone?!

Ye Xiaoniang was even more puzzled.

What does this have to do with Pei Lian?!

Fortunately, the system gave an answer at this time.

[Sikong Pei Lin was an important strategist when Li Yuan raised his army, and he was also the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. However, he has always been at odds with Liu Wenjing, an important strategist under Li Shimin, which directly contributed to Liu Wenjing's death. During the Wude period, Li Yuan reformed the currency system, abolished the five-baht coin, and recast Kaiyuan Tongbao, the coinage right is in the hands of Pei Lian, and Pei Lin holds the Chang'an Guild, if you want to establish the Tang Dragon Tooth Chamber of Commerce, His Majesty Li Er naturally wants to take back the rights in Pei Lian's hands. 】

[In that case, wouldn't we have to face an enemy like Pei Lian?!] 】

[I can't talk about it!] You are too weak to be Pei Lone's enemies now. Pei Lin was the one who sat in Li Yuanlong's chair back then, and he also indirectly killed Liu Wenjing, and His Majesty Li Er must have settled accounts after the autumn. It's just because you're a little bit early. 】

[Pei Lin sat on the dragon chair?! Such a?! 】

[That's right! Pei Lin was old and couldn't stand for a long time, so Li Yuan asked Pei Lin to sit next to him, but who knew that guy really sat down. It is no wonder that Li Shimin is suspicious of Pei Lian. 】

Hearing this, Ye Xiaoniang suddenly realized.

Two days later, where is the hunting in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, this is the obvious Hongmen banquet.

If Pei Lin makes a mistake in dealing with it, I am afraid that he will inevitably face the disaster of annihilation.

But that's not about me.

I didn't know that the current guild was actually in Pei Lian's hands, so it was no wonder that Wang Fatzi couldn't talk to those tooth people with such a good thing.

Those tooth people can't be the masters at all.

The boss behind it is Pei Lian!

Only then did Ye Xiaoniang understand the reason why His Majesty Li Er suddenly turned the topic to hunting in the eastern suburbs.

Sure enough, it is as deep as the sea when you enter a wealthy family!

It's so troublesome to do a little business, and if it involves greater interests in the future, it will inevitably be bloody again.

Seeing Ye Xiaoniang, there was a sudden look in her eyes.

Empress Changsun naturally did not know about the existence of the system.

But she thought that Ye Xiaoniang was so smart, and she figured out all aspects of the joint in a moment.

Thinking of this, Empress Eldest Sun nodded.

is a good seedling, and it is also worth saying a few more words yourself.

So he brought Ye Xiaoniang and Li Beiwang to the previous hall.

That's what he said.

"Little lady, are you from the Ye family?!"

Ye Xiaoniang nodded, a little curious why Empress Eldest Sun asked about her origin at this time.

"That's right! What's wrong?! ”

After all, it is a small family, not a big family.

Although the Ye family really doesn't understand etiquette, the eldest grandson queen has no intention of pursuing it. After all, there are enough children of the big families in this palace now.

Etiquette can be taught, but the nature of the mind cannot be changed.

After nodding, Empress Eldest Sun continued.

"Now that you are the princess of Beiping, the Ye family should enter the court to thank you. The imperial edict has been issued, and the Ye family has learned that they will enter the court to thank him. Now that a few days have passed, the Ye family has not moved, I am afraid that there is a crime of bullying the king! ”

Suffered!

Forget about this one!

Ye Xiaoniang patted her head.

Empress Changsun thought that the Ye family was a small family, but when she learned that the daughter of her family had become the princess of Beiping, she was just panicked and failed to deal with it, so she made such a low-level mistake.

What he didn't expect was that Ye's had become a mess.

Ye Lizheng was about to hang himself.

I can't live this day!
