Empress Changsun was very fond of Di Renjie, who was a tiger-headed tiger, and after listening to Li Chengqian talk about what happened on the street yesterday, she rewarded him with a lot of things, which was regarded as an affirmation of his careful observation. Of course, part of the reason is that it is compensation for Di Renjie.

After all, it is also a very uncomfortable thing for Di Renjie's little pot friend to be pulled all the time, and the eldest grandson queen should give some compensation as a grandmother.

Li Chengqian looked at Di Renjie's red ears with a smile, the expression on his face was indescribably weird, looking at it as the eldest grandson queen, it looked like his father-in-law was looking at his son-in-law.

After chatting for a while, Li Chengqian found a palace maid and arranged for her to take Di Renjie around the palace, while he accompanied his mother to talk about business: "Queen Mother, is Liqin's business okay?" ”

"You also said that yesterday that girl was still angry, saying that you, who are brothers, don't know how to care about your sister, and you have to apologize to her to forgive you." Empress Changsun heard Li Chengqian mention Changle, and a playful smile appeared on her face.

Li Chengqian seemed to see the emotion of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight from his mother's eyes, and said hesitantly: "Uh......, the queen mother, Erchen didn't offend her, besides, didn't Erchen just come back yesterday, and the little girl is not in a hurry to see it at this moment, and it ......." ”

"And what, stinky big brother, you went to Mobei alone, and there was no news for most of the year, don't you know if the queen mother will be worried!" Just when Li Chengqian tried to pull Empress Changsun to his side, Changle's voice came in.

Then, without waiting for Xiao Li to turn his head, a purple shadow flashed in, rushed to the eldest grandson's side, and said coquettishly by her arm: "Queen Mother, you must be the master of your daughter, eldest brother said that I am a little girl, and he looks down on people." ”

Goblin, what a goblin.

Eighteen or nineteen-year-old Changle is already slim, his face has the appearance of seven or eight points of the eldest grandson, and the purple palace suit looks playful and cute with the swaying steps above his head, coupled with the coquettish and glutinous voice, Li Chengqian only felt that his scalp was numb for a while.

But fortunately, Empress Changsun seems to have gotten used to Changle's coquettish way, and poked a finger on her head: "Why do you say you're a little girl, aren't you?" ”

"People are not little girls, Langya is little girls." Changle was counted down by his mother, made a grimace, jumped up and ran to Cheng Lin's side, looked at the little man in her arms, and reached out and pinched a big cake face.

"Smack", not surprisingly, Changle was also slapped on the back by the eldest grandson: "How can you brothers and sisters have a virtue, children can't always pinch their faces, they will drool in the future!" ”

"Oh!" After Changle was beaten, he was a little more honest, sat back beside Empress Changsun, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Big brother, now the market is full of counterfeit products from the Treasure Pavilion, you don't care about this?" ”

"What do you want me to do? You can't catch people and cut them down, do you? Li Chengqian looked at Changle with some amusement.

When he saw the woman's clothes on the street yesterday, Li Chengqian already knew that it was not genuine, but now his vision is different from before, and he doesn't care much about whether it is genuine, and if he is not worried about what Changle will think, he probably won't ask about it.

"But they have made so many fakes, how can I sell my real thing? It had been a long time since a single one of those clothes had been sold. Changle didn't know what Li Chengqian's thoughts were, and in her opinion, those counterfeit products had seriously affected her business.

"Lizhi, you have to look farther, don't just look at the present." Li Chengqian glanced at the smiling and silent Empress Eldest Sun, and said with a sigh: "You must know that the people who can buy your clothes are always a small number of people in Datang, and most people can't afford them, so even if those who buy fakes don't have fakes to buy, they won't be your potential customers." And people who buy genuine products, even if there are fakes, they will not lower their identity to buy those fakes. ”

"But I really haven't sold a few clothes in this time." Changle wrinkled his nose and felt a little aggrieved.

"This is because everyone's purchasing power is limited, you can't expect more than 10,000 pieces of clothing to sell ten sets a day, after the initial period of hot sales, the market has saturated, and your sales will naturally go down." Li Chengqian doesn't know much about the market economy, he can only briefly point out Changle, and I believe that Empress Changsun will definitely give her ideas behind her back and find a way.

"Then, can't we arrest them all?" Changle didn't give up, glanced at Empress Changsun, and found that his mother didn't seem to mean to interject, so he continued to ask.

"If they don't counterfeit your logo, then you can't arrest people, after all, our Datang law doesn't stipulate that you can't imitate it." Li Chengqian spread his hands helplessly.

Even in the modern era when the law is sound in later generations, counterfeiting and piracy have been repeatedly banned, and it is estimated that you don't even think about it in Datang.

And dare to imitate the things of the royal family, this kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can do, and there will definitely be a big force behind it.

For the sake of a little money that is impossible to earn, to offend some people who do not need to offend, this kind of thing is only done by the former Li Chengqian.

Now he has completely lost this interest, and even encourages these people to counterfeit as long as they pay their taxes normally.

However, he didn't explain these to Changle, first, it was meaningless, and second, he was afraid that Changle's girl would be coquettish and abrasive.

……

In the next time, Li Chengqian accompanied his mother to talk about the eldest grandson Wuji, inquired about the eldest grandson's steel mill, and finally left his wife and children in the eldest grandson's palace for dinner, and he came to the old man's study head-on.

"Guo Xiaoke is meritorious, I plan to reward him, but he insists on not accepting it, saying that he is at fault, and he wants to invite himself to be demoted to the fifth rank and dissipate the official, do you know the truth?" In the old man's study, Li Chengqian had just sat down when Lao Li spoke.

"Father, this matter was instructed by his son." Li Chengqian never thought that Guo Xiaoke's matter could be hidden from the old man, and when he saw Lao Li asking, he immediately replied.

"Why?" His Majesty Li Er asked quietly.

"Because his retainers were angry, he secretly sent 50,000 Turks." Li Chengqian said frankly.

"Oh?"

"Father, the railroad has always been built by prisoners of war during the Eastern Crusade, and the reason why they are used is because they want to squeeze their labor force and save a lot of money. However, Guo Xiaoke transferred 50,000 Turks, and with such a large project and such a large number of people, there would be chaos in the current accounts, and even a lot of waste. ”

"Some of this waste is controllable and traceable, while some is uncontrollable and uncheckable, such as consumables such as some tools."

"And as long as it's uncheckable, there's a lot of greasy in it."

"So Erchen thinks that the person surnamed Guo must have some greed in this!"
