Something very strange happened this morning.

Most of the courtiers in the court were almost all criticizing a shop called 'Jing Porcelain Zhai', especially some old ministers, who were even more excited, and directly asked the Heavenly Family to order the shop to be completely sealed.

Obviously, there are only one or two hundred guan of things, but the 'Pure Porcelain Zhai' marked a high price of 3,000 or even 10,000 guan, and nearly one million guan of money was swept up in the first month of opening. For this reason, many people have been deceived, including those excited ministers in the court.

This inevitably made Li Zhi a little interested, the price of three thousand yuan is not high, but it is such a high price, but there are still so many people who are willing to pay money to buy it, especially some old ministers who have been shrewd all their lives and have gone through several dynasties can also be deceived, and the shopkeeper of this 'Pure Porcelain Zhai' is really a talent.

What's more, this store has been open for more than a month, why has no one come forward until now to clamoring to close the store door to seek justice?

Li Zhi is not the kind of person who listens and believes partially, so he is not in a hurry to make a decision, because this is the matter of the household department, so he directly handed it over to the household department for detailed investigation.

After the early dynasty, Li Zhi was afraid that the household department would be intimidated by the pressure of those old ministers in the court, and the investigation would not be true and wronged the normal merchants, so he ordered someone to secretly touch the situation of the 'pure porcelain zhai'.

Soon, the secret guards sent out turned back to report and checked the old bottom of Yu Younian, and all the things that happened in the 'Pure Porcelain Zhai' during this time were also clearly investigated.

"Wu Yuanshuang was even involved? And also asked for seventy percent of the profits of 'Pure Porcelain Zhai'? ”

Hearing Wu Yuanshuang's paragraph, Li Zhi's eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and a trace of displeasure flashed on his face, Wu Yuanshuang was just a small young eunuch of Shaofu, and the reason why Yu Younian leaned on his head was mostly Mei Niang's Zhaoyi identity and his emperor's ** love for Mei Niang.

Relatives are arrogant, this is the thing that Li Zhi dislikes and doesn't want to see the most, this Wu Yuanshuang is too bold, it seems that he has to beat it well in the future, otherwise he may cause some trouble in the future.

"What?" Just after Wu Yuanshuang's incident, Li Zhi heard a rather unexpected news again, and asked the secret guard again in disbelief: "Master Xuanzang actually got involved, and even opened a 'tooth shop' next to the Temple of Mercy and Grace?" ”

How is this possible, Master Xuanzang is a monk, how can he be nostalgic for these things and steal business with others?

"Also, the dentures of 'Pure Porcelain Zhai' should be a unique business, even if Master Xuanzang really wants to open the same shop, where did he get the recipe for making teeth?"

From ancient times to the present, people who want to make dentures to replace real teeth abound, and Li Zhi also knows about a series of tooth-related businesses such as tooth extraction, prosthesis, and filling, but full dentures such as 'Jing Ci Zhai' specially made for those who do not have a tooth are still the first case, at least Li Zhi has never heard of it before.

Therefore, such a recipe should belong to the family heirloom and other precious things that can be uploaded from generation to generation, and now that there are two at once, it can't be Master Xuanzang stealing other people's secret inheritance, right?

"Talk back to the emperor." The secret guard replied respectfully: "The 'tooth shop' of the Temple of Mercy and Grace has officially opened this morning, and the business is still very good, and the deposit of more than 20,000 yuan has been collected in just one morning. ”

"Twenty thousand?!"

Li Zhi finally began to be a little unsettled, if at the beginning he heard that 'Jing Porcelain Zhai' made nearly a million yuan in a month and felt a little ethereal, then now he began to pay more attention to this so-called denture business.

This is definitely a very powerful business with a lot of money, if the imperial court comes forward to open and operate hundreds of cities in the entire territory of Datang, how can the income of one month be worth half a year's tax of Datang, right?

Li Zhi's eyes began to redden.

"However, unlike the 'Jing Porcelain Zhai', the dentures prepared by the 'tooth shop' are extremely cheap, and the lowest price is only 20 pairs. Therefore, the villain estimates that the 'tooth shop' of Ci'en Temple should not make any money, but it has brought a high reputation to Master Xuanzang for Ci'en Temple, and more and more people go to Ci'en Temple to worship incense. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi nodded lightly, twenty runs, compared with the three thousand guan of the 'Pure Porcelain Zhai', it seems that the so-called 'tooth shop' is just a charity of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, since it is to do good deeds, then let him go.

However, there can be a harvest of 20,000 yuan in one morning, which means that at least 1,000 people have ordered dentures in the 'tooth shop', which is what Li Zhi is more concerned about.

If you don't keep this business in the hands of the imperial court, it will be unreasonable.

However, since Xuanzang intervened, it is no wonder that those courtiers are so active in the court today for a small shop, they want to sell a good one to Master Xuanzang, and sure enough, all the places are oily and slippery, which is not a good thing.

"As for the secret recipe for making dentures, it is said that a person named Tang Xiu gave it to Master Xuanzang for free, and this Tang Xiu is now temporarily living in the Temple of Mercy and Grace. Master Xuanzang specially arranged a separate courtyard for him, saying that in the future, that courtyard would be exclusive to Tang Xiu, and Tang Xiu could move in at any time when he wanted to. ”

"Tang Xiu? Why is it him again? The method of making this denture can't be theirs, right? ”

Mentioning the name Tang Xiu, Li Zhi couldn't help but think of the giant watermelon sent by Lu Guogong Cheng Biting Jin two days ago, the taste, the juice, it was simply ...... Thinking about it, Li Zhi's mouth began to secrete a lot of saliva.

It's a pity that there is only one watermelon, and he was eaten half of it by Cheng Yanjin, and he wanted to ask Cheng Yanjin for another one to eat back, but the old man refused, so he had to give up.

Unexpectedly, it was only two days before he heard the news about Tang Xiu again.

The secret guard replied: "It is said that it was handed down by the ancestors of the Tang family, and it was sold to Yu Younian by Tang Xiu for 20,000 yuan two months ago. ”

"Only sold for 20,000?!" Li Zhi kept his body up, and then sighed softly, "It seems that the rumors over there in Taiyuan are really not bad at all, and this Tang Xiu is really a complete loser." It's really ...... that he sold such a good thing for two thousand yuan Wangchuan Gongying I, how did he give birth to such a loser's grandson? ”

"Alright, you can stand down." Li Zhi waved his hand at the secret guard and sent him out, and then called Li Quan, the head of the inner chamberlain, over loudly, and asked softly: "Didn't you say today that you want to invite Master Xuanzang into the palace, is Master Xuanzang here?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's been a long time." Li Quan said respectfully: "The queen mother, Wu Zhaoyi, and several princes and princesses have all gone. ”

Li Zhi nodded, and then ordered: "You go over there and wait, and when Master Xuanzang finishes speaking, I will immediately ask Master Xuanzang to come over and talk to me, I have some questions I want to ask Master Xuanzang." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Quan responded, then bowfully withdrew, and hurriedly walked towards **.

Normally, if the emperor summons the courtiers next to him, he can just send a chamberlain over, and Li Quan, the chief chamberlain, has no need to go over in person. However, Master Xuanzang is different, every time the emperor invites him to meet, he must be the chief attendant of the inner chamberlain, and only in this way can he show respect for this eminent monk.

In fact, Li Quan does not believe in Buddhism, and what he respects is not Master Xuanzang himself, what he really respects is the emperor's respect for Master Xuanzang. The emperor's attitude is Li Quan's code of conduct, which is Li Quan's way of survival in the palace and by the emperor's side.
