Chapter 177: Preparing for Pickling Girls

"What did you say to the pheasant? Look, I ran out as if I was being chased by a ghost. Li Shu, who was leaning on the couch in the water pavilion, beckoned to me and asked threateningly. It's nothing, it's just to educate him to know how to respect others, respect the old and love the young, or something. "Smash your mouth, it tastes good, it's just too little. sat down in front of Li Shu: "By the way, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quarreled with his father-in-law again yesterday?" ”

"Quarrel? Cut, being scolded is almost the same, two days ago, one of the eldest brother's teachers, Du Zhenglun, saw that the eldest brother was ridiculous in the East Palace, so he scolded the eldest brother in person, the eldest brother was good, and he didn't know which tendon he smoked, and when he was drunk at night, he actually said: 'I am the son of heaven, and I should want; If there is a counselor, I will kill them, kill 500 people, isn't it maybe?! As soon as these words came out, they were leaked into my father's ear, and my father was angry at that time, and called my eldest brother to him and scolded him bitterly. ”

"Oh, alas, your eldest brother too, it's the right thing to be a man and do things safely." I was a little happy in my heart, and my expression was not leaking.

"It's good that he's that kind of person, before, my eldest brother wasn't such a person, but since he suffered from foot disease and had difficulty walking, people have been the same." Li Shu said to me. Li Zhi slipped back at some point, sat on the side, and listened to me and Li Shu.

"Oh, alas, it may be because of the pain above the ** that the pain is transferred to the mind, so your eldest brother will not be able to control his behavior." Mingli, we said this to Li Shu, but Li Zhi on the side thought so, and nodded secretly, which was the same as the psychological cripple caused by the eunuch's physical disability.

"That's right, now my father is annoyed, yesterday," Li Shu glanced left and right, the palace maids were far away, and no one on the side could hear our conversation, so he lowered his voice and said: "Yesterday, when my father was chatting with Uncle Li Jing, he vented some air. ”

"What did you leak?" Li Zhi replied first.

"You two can't say it, or you'll be in big trouble." Li Shu's expression was very serious. I nodded with Li Zhi, eager to hear what Uncle Li was going to do.

"Daddy already has the idea of changing the crown prince. It seems to belong to the fourth brother. Li Shu whispered word by word, Li Zhi and I listened, and the reaction was not strong, Li Zhi's reaction was not strong mainly because of his, anyway, he didn't expect that the emperor's position would fall to him, and he didn't have a bit of enterprising spirit.

As for me, my son has known for thousands of years, and he has known for more than a thousand years, Wei Wangtai, a little fat man, has a set of dance and ink, but he is completely failing politically, and he hasn't even figured out the basic human feelings. He only looks at things on the surface, learning from his father to open a museum and recruiting talents to buy people's hearts, but in addition to attracting some sour scholars who shake the pen, what else is there? It also buys people's hearts...... Looking at the rumors that the DPRK and the Central Committee rushed up and vigorously accused Uncle Li of being biased towards Li Tai, you can know how Li Tai's stupid heart has been bought. You look at the group of drug friends that night, think about it, you think this product has no future, you have the energy to take drugs, have fun, find such a drug friend who has nothing to do at all? Can it be used above the court? Even if you get a few killers with good martial arts or something, it is not in vain to kill your brother and father when the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry! Well? Aren't we a little too dark in our thinking, and we are still thinking about this chubby guy who wants to poison us with drugs? It's really ...... I'm a little full, and I have nothing to do.

"Brother Jun, where do you want to take us?" Li Zhi and Li Shu walked beside me, a group of guards were not far behind, and behind the loyal servants, a group of people walked out of the palace gate.

"You'll know in a moment, go to a lively place and look for something by the way." I have nothing to do when I am full, I think about it, it is better to do something practical, we promised Li Shu to drive the colorful auspicious clouds to soak her, but I can't lose my words, I just want to find out if there are suitable materials, and order some specially to make a hot air balloon.

Arrived at the bustling West Market. Far more lively than the East Market, which specializes in high-end goods and luxury goods, there are merchants from Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Goryeo, Baekje, Silla, Shobun and other countries and regions, among which the "Hu merchants" from Central Asia, Persia and Dashi are the most, and most of them live in or near the West Market. These foreign merchants sold spices and medicines to the Chinese bureaucracy, and then bought back jewelry, silk fabrics, and porcelain from China.

"Wow, sister, look, that person's skin is as black as coal." Li Zhi made a fuss along the way, looked down on the children who had not seen international friends, stayed away from him, put his hands behind his back, and walked leisurely, the two emperors seemed to be really rarely to this kind of lively place to visit, one would run to the spice stall to sniff, and the other would copy a Persian carpet and be surprised, it seemed that everything was so fresh, even Fang Cheng's mouth was open, but this goods were not goods, but all kinds of skinned people, wearing strange clothes and decorations, In the West Market, he shouted in Chinese like raw rice.

There are two parallel east-west streets and north-south streets in the West Market. Four main streets cross in the center of the city in a tic-tac-toe shape and divide the entire city into nine rectangles. It was a crowd to describe the lively scene inside, and after a while, the guards were swept into that corner by the crowd, and only the four of us were still together.

"What the hell are you looking for? If you look left and right, I don't see you selling anything. Li Shu chewed maltose, and still held a piece of naan in his hand and looked at it curiously, Li Zhi was very hard, and my loyal servants were also very hard, and the two of them had full of items purchased by Shopaholic Lori.

"I'm looking for something like silk, which can also be used to make clothes, but it has to be strong and more heat-resistant." I don't know what cotton cloth is called now, but I remember that in history, there was already a small amount of cotton cloth in the early Tang Dynasty, but it was all sold by Hu merchants.

"Similar to silk? Burlap? Li Shu asked me casually, I shook my head, and continued to look around: "It's not that thing, the linen cloth is looser, like it, like the cloth woven from cotton, the cloth is thicker, do you know what cotton is?" "There should be cotton horses now" I haven't heard of cotton, but I've heard of kapok, and kapok cloth also knows, but it's a tribute, do you want to find it in the West Market? Li Shu had a very helpless expression.

"What?! That cotton cloth is a tribute? "Li Shu's words scared me a lot, is it just something that is not worth two dollars or a tribute?

"Of course, a few years ago, someone presented cotton cloth to my father, and my father wanted the queen mother to make a dress, but the queen mother felt that it was too valuable to find things, so it was useless, and later, she gave it to the minister." Li Shu stood in front of a Hu Shang's stall again.

"How can cotton cloth be sold?" A little excited, finding cotton cloth is not the same as finding a loom? Finding the loom means that Ben Gongzi has become the Huang Daopo of the Tang Dynasty in China? Well? Huang Daopo seems to be a woman. ......"Naturally, it's the East Market, how can the West Market be sold, really, what did you sell with us at the beginning, but now it's good, you have to go back." Li Zhi was very dissatisfied, and when he came out with his own sister, he could only do coolies.

"What do you know?" Glaring at the little guy: "This is called going deep into the society, conducting research on the rapid development of the market economy in Datang City, and doing a good theoretical study for the economic construction in the future...... Under the influence of this son's saliva, Li Zhi lost a series of battles, so he had to swallow his anger and cry like a wronged little daughter-in-law. Fortunately, after walking a short distance, I finally met the guards who were blue with anxious faces and sweaty sweat, and took over the things in the hands of Li Zhi and Fang Cheng, and the loyal servants and the prince finally got out of the sea of suffering.

The East Market, not as prosperous as the West Market, but has a different taste, just like the stalls at night and the supermarket during the day, the difference is quite big, there are no international friends who are foaming at the mouth and shouting, some are just polite to welcome the smiling faces of the guys. Each faΓ§ade is hung with a different plaque showing the project it operates.

"I still have to walk forward, I remember the last time I came with my sixth sister, I seemed to have seen cotton cloth in the workshop inside." Shopaholic Li Shu looked much more elegant after arriving in Dongshi, and she didn't like it after carefully choosing it for a long time, but I believe that it was because she didn't have enough money in her pocket.

"Hey, there's a new shop, go in and take a look." As soon as Li Shu saw the fresh signboard, he rushed in, and Li Zhi and I looked at each other helplessly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What a beautiful hairpin" Li Shu held a hairpin in the shape of a colorful bird, with precious stones on its wings and feathers, and exclaimed vigorously in his mouth. But after reaching out and touching the money bag hanging on his waist, he reluctantly put it back again, sure enough. This girl's financial situation doesn't seem to be very good. pulled Li Zhi and whispered a few words to him, Li Zhi quickly shook his head to express his will, glared at the little miser viciously, forget it, touched the money bag, took out a small silver cake, handed it to Li Zhi's hand, and lowered his voice: "Remember to bargain." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Jun, if the shopkeeper dares not to lower the price for this son, this king will smash his shop, but the mantissa has to be counted as mine." Li Zhi licked the corners of his mouth, his eyes were very greedy and evil, like a little wolf. With a black line on his face, he watched this obscene young man sneaking to the shopkeeper, and had the idea of kicking him in the ass and giving him a ride.
