Luobeili Fang District, there is a similar archway to Chang'an Chengfang District, and the wooden structure is full of glazed bricks.

Taiping, who had already gotten off the sedan chair, pointed to one and said: "See, that's also my masterpiece!" ”

Li Zhi really didn't notice that between the brick walls of the archway stone foundation, there are two huge clamping stones, each with the meaning of carving words, and whitewashed gold paint, the left stone "Zhengqing Wenqi", the right side of the stone "Central Water Pavilion".

The archway is erected by several pillars, and if this pillar wants to stand, it must have a clamping stone, and this pillar is erected into a pole, and there are stones on both sides to clamp it.

It's not the same as building a palace, sometimes the palace is gone, but there is a stone pestle under it, which is the foundation of the pillars.

The archway is not like this, the archway is a stone on one side, sandwiching this pole, and then there are square beams, there is a square amount, there is an inscription place, there is a roof.

The clamping stone is the cornerstone of the center of this archway, standing in the most conspicuous place, the folk no one dares to whitewash the gold, has shown the difference of the eight words.

When Li Zhi secretly admired Taiping's ingenuity, she explained: "The central water pavilion is the core of the southern city, which is built on a living pool, and the whole Lifang District is originally a garden building layout, and the garden water pavilion is the most brilliant place in the entire Lifang District, especially in summer and autumn, and it is overcrowded every day!" ”

"Taiping, you are very business-minded, can you think of this kind of idea?"

Li Zhi's emotion is sincere, talking about the Tang Dynasty, and the following dynasties rarely have such a forward-looking advertising awareness, of course, few people dare to use the golden mark that is suspected of committing taboos in such a prominent place.

"Call me Ling Yue when no one is around! Nanshi is mainly engaged in daily goods, and is the largest among the three cities, with three to four thousand merchants. All kinds of important commodities such as gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain, fur, silk, etc., are gathered from all over the country to Nanshi, and then sent from here to all parts of the country, even the Western Regions, Japan and other places. ”

Listening to her introduction, the two approached the central water pavilion full.

It was a circular man-made lake, no more than a few feet deep, with countless colorful koi fish scurrying back and forth.

The water pavilion is to erect a platform at the water's edge, part of the platform is erected on the shore, part of it extends into the water, and the platform is erected on the water surface with beams and columns across the water.

The platform is surrounded by a low flat railing near the water, and gooseneck chairs are set up for sitting and resting; The shore part of the platform is built with a rectangular single building, the water side is the main viewing direction, and the floor-to-ceiling doors and windows are open and transparent, which can not only be viewed indoors, but also can be viewed on the platform.

The back of the water pavilion is directly opposite a three-storey commercial building, which occupies an entire square area and is the tallest building in the south city, so it is very conspicuous and abrupt there.

Although the courtyard wall is high but the upper half is hollowed out, you can still see the huge plaque of Zhengqing Wenqitang at a glance, as Taiping said, the façade design and the courtyard wall are copied according to the style of the main store in Chang'an City, and even the font size and color of the plaque are not the slightest difference.

At present, the door is wide open, and people passing by can't help but glance inside.

Li Zhi poked out the perception, occasionally someone mentioned the meaning of the eight characters at the archway, no one understood before, and after the façade plaque was hung, Fang knew that there was a great character in Nanshi.

It's not hard to guess that just the golden characters that are bright and blind can make people think that the master of Zhengqing Wenqitang is a royal family, otherwise you can be punished for a felony of usurpation just by virtue of this.

At this time, with Li Zhi and Taiping into the courtyard, the palace maid behind him will also place the sedan chair in the courtyard gate, the sedan chair is the official sedan chair taken by the dignitaries, combined with the palace maid's dress, more and more onlookers will know the approximate identity of Taiping.

There were already dozens of people in the store who were busy and nervous, thinking of the crowd outside, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Princess, do you want to have a good start?" It also lets us see what kind of purchasing power Luoyang City has. ”

Taiping glanced at him in surprise, then thought of something, stretched out a hand and handed it to Li Zhi: "Where is my sachet!" ”

Li Zhi smiled, took out a sachet-shaped Qiankun bag from his cuffs, and there was a piece of jade on the necked gold thread rope: "Let's demonstrate it when no one is around, there is a wisp of my true qi in the jade card, you need to be stained with a drop of blood, and you can use it freely with a special formula!" ”

Taiping whispered softly in his mouth, and held it in front of his chest lovingly, "Quickly pass on the mantra to me!" ”

"It's a busy city, and there are people everywhere in the store, so bear with me!"

"No, no! I'm just going to show you a small object, and it's never going to be seen. Also, what should I do if I'm afraid of pain? ”

Li Zhi shook his head and whispered a few words of mantra.

After she memorized it correctly, an invisible true aura instantly poked a little red dot on her right index finger, instructing her to quickly touch the jade plate.

"When the blood stains are gone, there seems to be a connection with your mind, concentrate on the mantra silently, pay attention to the place where you look, and hold your breath to perceive the meaning of the mantra in your mind! See that sprinkler in the corner? Try a few more times and you'll be in your bag! ”

Taiping thought silently, and after several attempts, he really felt that there was an extra thing in the bag.

"You are not a cultivator, you don't have the ability to perceive, so you can only perceive that there is a foreign object in it, and you need to open it to see what it really is!"

Taiping unbuckled the rope and glanced at it, and suddenly laughed, and the people who were busy with their work not far away turned their heads to look.

"Can I also include what is on someone else's body? For example, hand accessories and the like? ”

"Of course not!" Looking at Taiping's inexplicable excitement, Li Zhi smiled bitterly, "The accessories on the body, the things pressed under the cover, the collections in the wooden box, everything that is covered cannot be collected!" ”

"What I put away, you might see? Or other cultivators. ”

"This sachet of yours has a formation forbidden that I specially carved on it, and it can only be penetrated by your sight, and the cultivator's insight cannot do it, unless it is a person who is much higher than my cultivation, but I have not heard of it in this world!"

"So you're the strongest in this world?"

"The strongest is the Grandmaster realm, I'm still far away, doesn't the Grandmaster only exist in legends?"

He could sense the temptation of words in Taiping's mouth, and in turn he would reply with questions.

Obviously, a look of disappointment flashed in Princess Taiping's eyes, but it was completely concealed in an instant: "The space in my sachet is not small, at least there is a radius of ten zhang, right?" ”

"Fifteen zhang is the limit of my ability at the moment. Remember that the Qiankun bag cannot hold live animals, even fresh plants, but the flesh can be stored in it to keep it fresh for a long time. ”

Taiping is already full of relief at this moment, perhaps this is her biggest gain today.

"Can you put out the goods in your bag at this time, do you need me to recruit some professional teller guys temporarily?" Taiping then asked Li Zhi's previous plans.

"This is necessary, you first point out to me where the treasury is, and then send someone to gather people immediately, remember that the guards will be in place now!"

Li Zhi said, followed Taiping to the second floor, on the way, she had already pulled a person and gave some instructions.

One on the second floor is a temporary warehouse, and Taiping Yi introduced: "Each floor has the same location, which is used as a temporary application." The general warehouse is located underground, and there is a square radius! ”

"We'll go underground later, fill every floor of the warehouse first!"

After entering the warehouse, I sent it off the left and right, and waved it to rice paper of various specifications, and the ten-colored notes were neatly stacked on the ground.

"Mr. Li, you have more than fifteen Qiankun bags, right? Otherwise, the three warehouses can be filled. Taiping questioned.

"Stupid!" Li Zhi glanced at her, "Won't I prepare a few more?" ”

Taiping sneered, "Yes, why am I confused? ”

"Are you going to tell Her Majesty?"

"No, don't worry, I'm going to keep it a secret that only you and I know! You also know that the imperial court is very taboo against cultivators, and it is useless to talk too much, even I, the princess, are no exception! ”

"I'm relieved that you understand this! Ask someone to find a pen and paper, I will target these prices, according to the specifications began to put on the counter outside, come to the account room one by one after the book is counted, you can open the door! ”

Taiping recruited people according to his words, and regardless of the surprise in the eyes of the visitors, he explained to himself.

After solving the matter on the second floor, Li Zhi and the others went to the third layer and waved their hands to take out jade, snuff, snuff bottles and various colored gemstones.

He said, "Taiping, what do you think of this?" A layer of ready-to-wear and tailor-made, by the way, invite two tailors from the palace, I will draw some clothes in advance, and set aside another corner to place spices and essential oils; the second layer of rice paper, the four treasures of the study; Three layers of jade, jewellery and snuff bottles. As for alcohol, due to the need for a large area, you need to find another storefront, preferably not far from here! ”

"Call me Ling Yue when no one is around!" Taiping said dissatisfied, "It's a little different from what I wanted, why did I put my clothes on the first floor?" ”

"There is no external staircase in our building, and the garment shop is the most crowded, and if it is arranged on the second floor, it will affect the original environment of the first floor. When there is a rush to buy, the queue can be lined up from the courtyard, but if it is on the second floor, won't the stairs be crowded with people? ”

"So should we build a perimeter staircase as soon as possible?"

"In my experience, it is necessary to extend the entrance of the staircase to the courtyard wall, so that the width of the staircase is increased, and it is also convenient for the transmission of large pieces of paper! The storefront in Chang'an City, I also need to be renovated in this way, and this is one step in place. ”

"It's rare to see such a wide staircase, so you don't need to widen it to get to the third floor, right?"

"Well, relatively speaking, there are very few people who can afford to buy three-story things, and then to the third floor, the wide staircase is very unsightly, and it is difficult, so it is really unnecessary!"

"I'll arrange someone to measure it right away, it's actually simple, it's set up outside, and it's just moved over and connected with the wall opening!"

As he spoke, Taiping's body had already walked out, and he beckoned someone to come and cooperate with Li Zhi.

The three warehouses were piled up, and Li Zhi was not in a hurry to go underground, but wandered around, pointing out the arrangement at any time.

Halfway through the hour, a group of people arrived, including two heavily armed Praetorian Guards.

The big shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper at the counter are vacant, which is reserved for Feng Xing and Xing Datou.

The master is also the bookkeeper, Li Zhi and Taiping each have one each, and the next person named Jiao Jianxiu is the first person to come to the branch.

This person is about fifty years old, and it is said that he has been engaged in related industries for 30 years.

Taiping gave him a look, and a cultivator dressed as a Praetorian Guard followed.

Li Zhi nodded secretly, Princess Taiping is obviously very suitable for business management, after so many personnel arrived, it was arranged in an orderly manner, and the details could be taken care of.

There were twenty young and beautiful clerks, and he suspected that Taiping was selected from the palace maids, because their temperament was very similar to that of the palace maids who followed the sedan chair before.

However, these women had obviously been trained in advance, and after Li Zhi took them to the specific goods to explain, these people's restatements were very calm, and their attitudes were generous and decent, without a trace of panic.

Taiping took the time to say: "In the future, you will be responsible for the remuneration of these people, and the amount will be discussed by yourself." And the location where they live, just near Nanshi, also occupies a whole square, and it is currently only rented, and you need to pay your own money to buy it! ”
