The performance is bound to be excellent. Even Gaozong, who has always been calm, also showed a little anxious on his face, and hurriedly instructed Li Dan to free his hand to help Li Zhi up, and he didn't care about buttoning his clothes, stood up on his own, and followed Li Xian into another room to change clothes.

At the moment when Gaozong returned, Li Zhi also came to his senses in time, took out a thing in his arms and swallowed it in his mouth, before standing up to meet Gaozong, helping him to sit down, Li Zhi asked: "Your Majesty can feel that there is a sense of relaxation in your body compared to before?" ”

Gaozong nodded firmly: "The effect is obvious, and I can feel that the flow of breath in my body is smoother, and it seems that my breathing has also calmed down!" ”

Li Zhi solemnly reminded: "Weichen rushed to Lishan the day after tomorrow, and before leaving, he came to diagnose the saint, and he may turn back in three or five days, and he will come as soon as possible." In the past few days, His Majesty has to find someone to carefully record the most true state of the body in each hour, and it is in the range of gradually stabilizing state for several days in a row, and the life limit can be extended by another three to five months! ”

The expression on Gaozong's face finally changed, his life limit had been extended for more than a year before, and there were at least one and a half years to live in March or May, which was a genuine, painless and comfortable state increased in 100 days, even if he had already looked down on life and death, it was hard to suppress the great joy rising in his heart!

"I haven't revealed my true temperament for many years, and it's rare for Mr. Li to be surprised today, not only because you have repeatedly saved the original time, but also because you can come to the court more than one day! It's not that I'm dragging my sick body and not giving up the imperial power, it's just because my two princes are not enough to fully control the affairs of the court and China. ”

Li Xian and Li Dan hurriedly knelt down and wept, all because Gaozong's family affection was suddenly revealed, and the two of them were stopped by him with a wave of his hand, and the ill-fated emperor smiled again: "You should be very glad that Mr. Li appeared, saving my life is only one of them, and even more so, let me free up my hands to clear the scum of the court." You say, 'How shall I reward him?' ”

Li Xian bowed and replied: "Mr. Li is dedicated to business, and it stands to reason that he should give some help in this regard, but the current situation is clear, and the traces of the Chang'an City Economic Circle are beginning to appear, and Erchen doesn't think that he should think about it anymore, after all, the measures will be given soon, and it is not easy to be too frequent!" ”

Seeing Gaozong looking at him, Li Dan also replied with similar words: "Everything is based on the prince's opinion, although the political considerations are not macroscopic, but he thinks that the prince's decision has a bit of a shadow of Aya's general behavior, and this kind of judgment is both timely and disproportionate!" ”

Without Gaozong's signal, there is no Li Zhi qualified to speak here, even if he seems to have worked hard and made great achievements, he can only half-hang his head and let it go.

"Where does the prince think he should start?" Gaozong looked at Li Xian again.

"I thought I could do something in Zhengqing Wenqitang in Dongshi, but what is the specific, I should ask Mr. Li in advance, so as not to disrupt his original business deployment!"

When Gaozong asked himself, Li Zhi finally got the opportunity to speak, "Weichen does have a selfish intention, so I'm afraid that speaking out will annoy Shengyan and make him angry!" ”

"Let's listen to it in the future, now in the face of corruption in a certain royal palace, to the point of unspeakable, I have not shown emotional out-of-control, and it is you, Mr. Li."

"Actually, it's very simple, I just want to invite the Holy Lord to smoke snuff once in front of the ministers when he is in the court!"

As soon as Li Zhi's words came out, Gaozong stood up and looked at the faces of the two sons, until the three of them looked at each other for a moment, and as Gaozong laughed first, the two of them laughed loudly.

"Hahaha! Mr. Li, I have to say, I really admire your business acumen, and it is indeed as simple as you say! You're afraid that you have an idea in advance on the way to the palace, right? Hahaha, Mr. Li, I am very reluctant to admit that you have once again opened my eyes, since the establishment of the three emperors and five emperors of the world, Mr. Li is still the first person who dares to stir up the king of a country and shout for his own business! Of course, if I don't break my promise, I will answer your request! ”

He laughed endlessly, and turned to look at Li Xian: "Prince, what do you think Mr. Li has in mind?" ”

Li Xian sighed: "Back to Aye, Mr. Li's business acumen is indeed breathtaking, this move can be said to be counted in one fell swoop, just because of Aye's one move, it can attract all the ministers to follow suit, and the use of snuff will only flourish from now on." If our emperor gives snuff as a favor and gives it to a few people, so far, the tribute will be precious, and the reward will be a favor, and the use of snuff will only be worse, and all the dynasties will imitate it. ”

Gaozong looked at Li Zhi, "Mr. Li, I heard from Xiao'er, your snuff costs a lot, but you will always insist on this kind of quality assurance, just to borrow those precious medicinal materials to offset the side effects, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Weichen thinks that a gentleman loves money, takes it in the right way, respects morality, and sees the righteousness of Li Siyi, which is the right way to protect wealth and good luck! I don't dare to claim that I am doing the right thing for heaven, preaching on behalf of heaven, or enlightening the world, I just know that I just need to maintain my heart and keep it. ”

"A good one who takes it in the right way and keeps it with his heart, I hope you will always stick to it, so that you can keep your own heart. However, I had the intention of promoting this matter, and although such a simple and eye-catching medicine is a bit more expensive, it is important that the medicine is genuine and costly. Anyway, if there are any other needs, just tell them together, I am happy today, otherwise you will mention it again in the future, I am afraid that there will be no chance! ”

"Before Weichen mentions it, can you explain the next business development?"

"I'd love to hear it!"

"The next step of Wechen is to deal in natural fragrance extracts, which I call essential oils! I also brought a small bottle to the Holy One, don't look at only ten drops, but it can be used for a year! ”

Li Zhi handed a bottle of rose essential oil to Li Xian, "My third lady refines it, this is the highest-grade essential oil, it takes dozens of potted flowers to condense one or two drops, and a small bottle of ten drops costs more than a dozen taels of silver, or five thousand catties of petals to extract less than ten taels of rose oil." A drop can be blended with a pound of mountain spring water, and only a few drops after blending are needed when used, which can moisturize the skin by bathing, and the clean face can be shiny and shiny. However, its actual effect is to prevent infectious diseases, treat the skin, regulate endocrine, and promote human physiological and psychological activities. ”

Li Xian pulled the stopper and handed it to Gaozong, who praised after asking: "Only pure natural spices can be fragrant and fragrant, I just smell them, that is, I feel comfortable, pleasant, and comfortable, and it seems that it can also relieve anxiety, depression, and stress?" ”

"And helps with sleep! Therefore, the rose essential oil itself is more expensive than gold, but it can withstand use, even if the water quality is diluted after blending, spray a few drops on the body every day, and you can diffuse the fragrance all day long, so it is quite appropriate! I suggest that the Holy One try it too, and sprinkle a dozen drops of diluted substance on the tub during the bath to ensure a comfortable night's sleep! The reason why I mention this is because I want to get a few rare potted flowers in the Imperial Garden, and it is best to send a few craftsmen to help me build my own garden! The saint also knows that if I go all over the Tang Dynasty to collect these precious varieties, I am afraid that it will take a few years, the road is far away, and most of the time is delayed on the journey, not to mention, whether I can bring them back in their entirety is still a problem. At present, there are at least 20 kinds of colors and fragrances in development, but they are rare and rare! ”

"Good!" Gaozong stroked his palms, "This will be a groundbreaking feat, no wonder your little lady is magical, she can accurately refine the essence of flowers, I'm afraid she is the only one who has this ability!" ”

"I'm already thinking about developing other methods, such as distillation and brewing, and I'm always looking for other alternatives. At that time, these processes will be publicized free of charge, which may cause some loss of essential oils, but the refined things will not make a big difference! ”

"Public? Isn't your business hugely affected? ”

"Just like my cashmere garment, the dedication of craftsmanship and competition from all parties will lead to the continuous decline of manufacturing costs, and the wisdom of the people is the greatest, and they are the ones who find the best alternative raw materials. In that way, there will no longer be the high price that it is today, so that ordinary people can afford to buy it. The same is true for essential oils, I only have to make the most high-end products, the money is not endless, just a small part of the operation, it is enough to maintain it for a long time, and my own essential oil reserves will not be very much, and you may need to limit the purchase! ”

"So, so the same goes for snuff?"

"In addition to the rice paper process, it represents the most advanced civilization achievements in the world today, and I have the strongest paper industry ability in Datang. Including tissues and snuff, they are all in the ranks of free donations in the future, but you must always set aside a certain amount of time for yourself to earn, right? ”

"Well, you are saying this in your heart, first to ensure that you are rich, you can benefit more people, this is also human nature, far more credible than those who pat their chests and shout out! Mr. Li, I am becoming more and more satisfied with you, but you also have to tell the truth, this method is also the foundation for you to have the confidence to build a special business district in Chang'an City in the future? ”

"It's that simple! At least in the past few years, all the processes that can be made public will first benefit Chang'an City and the surrounding areas, and it will also make the foreign trade and trade center first established in Chang'an City, and the foreign feudal people will earn almost all the money, and the fame of my Datang will gradually spread out, and at that time it will gradually spread to the national nature. That goal is too grandiose, and Weichen's ability is limited, so he doesn't dare to boast to the saint at this time! ”

"This is another sentence of conscience!" Gaozong laughed again, "To build Chang'an City into an unshakable economic and cultural core of the Tang Dynasty in the future, your contribution is already great, and it is indeed a bit too early to talk about the lofty goal at this time!" ”

He turned to look at Li Xian, "Later, let Xiao'er accompany Mr. Li to the Imperial Garden, and all his requests must be implemented one by one." And the prince, you immediately go to someone to create a golden jade key for me, don't be too expensive, just apply it! ”

Li Xian was about to take the order, but Li Zhi handed over the white jade snuff bottle in time, "This kind of texture, please pay attention to the creation of a silver picket spoon, so that it is not abrupt." ”

Li Zhi didn't explicitly say that this piece was given to him, obviously when this person looked at him before, he was just thinking about asking for one.

Waiting for Li Xian to leave, Li Zhi handed Li Dan a small packet of snuff, "I have only developed a total of less than half a catty, I took it all, and left it in the upper study." Before I go to Lishan, I'll send some more! ”

Gaozong pointed to something to Li Dan, "Xiao'er, go and get that golden bowl!" ”

Li Danle set off to go, and did not forget to glance at Li Zhi meaningfully, Li Zhi took the opportunity to ask who to consult with, Gaozong smiled and shook his head, he knew that it was just a reason.

When the golden bowl arrived, it was like a golden cornucopia, and the "golden rice bowl" made of pure gold was handed to Li Zhi, and he vaguely knew Gaozong's purpose.

"This golden rice bowl is given to you, do you know the meaning?" Gaozong smiled, obviously meaning to take the school examination.

"The people take food as the sky, and the golden rice bowl means to give the people a worry-free life, gather infinite blessings and wealth, and it can also be used as a mascot to pray for the people to live a prosperous life, and the country will have long-term peace and stability, and enjoy peace and prosperity forever." Li Zhi replied cautiously.
