Chapter 492: Princess Changle
You can't blame the eldest grandson for being shocked, in this era, almost all the marriages of the prince and princess belong to marriages, and the words of the parents are matchmakers, and there is no possibility of free love, unless the prince and the princess are not too important, and their own status as people who are free to love is also okay, it is possible.
But now Li Shimin is even willing to give the crown princess to some small families? This...... Empress Eldest Sun didn't understand it for a while, at least she couldn't figure out why this was happening, could it be that those gate valve families didn't need to be wooed?
Li Shimin did not explain, in fact, the reason why he did this was just to give a signal to many people, or to be precise, to give a signal to these gate valve families in the Tang Dynasty, a signal to change, as for the final result, Li Shimin can now say that Li Chengqian's crown princess is destined to be the child of the gate valve family.
It's not that he is willing to go back on his word, but that in this era, he wants to find a woman with both ability and integrity from ordinary people...... Hardly possible.
If you think about it, there are almost no children of the mainstream of society, that is, some of them have been cultivated through the Datang Academy established by Changle over the years, but these scholars who have been cultivated, their current level is only enough to be an official at most, and some excellent people may barely be officials.
The accumulation of several generations is not something that can be made up for by the children of the poor family, of course, this is only the children of the poor who started to study at a young age, at present, with the continuous expansion of the number of students in this academy established by Changle, many children have begun to come in to study, and these children from the poor family will inevitably have a lot of talents when they grow up.
Li Shimin does not doubt about this, after all, there are too many of them, and there are not many smart people. Of course, after the high school imperial examination, whether these talents will finally join the gate valve, although Li Shimin will make some restrictions, but he will not be too ruthless.
Because there's no way to enforce it, you can't help but let your family get married, right? This is simply unrealistic.
But this influence has been expanding, when the people at the bottom know more and more about the importance of learning, more and more people will start to learn, when the number of people learning to a certain extent, then the influence of these gate valve families will be minimal.
It can't be said that it is very small, at least it can't affect national policies, and it can't affect their royal family's dominance over the Tang Dynasty.
The time on the road passed quickly, and when the train station arrived, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun naturally did not continue to meet Changle, because Changle could not meet his parents for the time being after leaving Suzaku Square, and they came to see off the prime minister of Dahan.
Of course, for the long fiery red Changle Princess train, Li Shimin only smiled bitterly in his heart and said no, this kid ...... It's really generous.
He probably guessed that this train did not come to Datang this time, to be precise, it will not be used by ordinary people, but will become the exclusive train of Changle, this guy is generous enough, and he didn't say to give me a Tang Emperor?
Of course, even if it is delivered, Li Shimin is of little use, because the railway is like this.
When Li Shimin and the others stopped, Li Lizhi and the others had also already got off the carriage, and then under the leadership of Xia Zhu, they got into the carriage in front, and these three carriages were the real essence of this Changle Princess.
Li Lizhi boarded the train here with some curiosity under the leadership of Xia Zhu, "Your Highness, please come in." Xia Zhu made a gesture of please, motioning for Li Lizhi to push open the door in front of him. Li Lizhi was a little puzzled, and she didn't know what Xia Zhu meant.
Glancing at Li Liqing, Xia Zhu immediately smiled and said: "This is the leader's request, this Changle Princess is built for Your Highness, so this belongs to your Mobile Palace, so naturally you have to be the first to go in first." ”
Hearing Xia Zhu's explanation, Li Lizhen immediately nodded abruptly, and then pushed open the delicate wooden door in front.
When she pushed open the wooden door and revealed the contents inside, Li Lizhi was also stunned for a moment, she felt it for the first time...... What is luxury.
That's right, as the princess of Datang, Li Lizhi didn't dare to say that it was the most luxurious in the entire Datang, but it was definitely the most luxurious scene she had ever seen, but when she pushed open the wooden door and saw the world inside, she understood that luxury was a ...... Sometimes it's really not like you're feeling luxurious.
Is Tai Chi Palace luxurious or not? When do you want to put it to see, if you put it in the later generations, the cliff is luxurious, not to mention anything else, although the Tang Dynasty is not like the later Ming and Qing dynasties began to use red sandalwood and huanghuali, etc., but rosewood and other woods have begun to be used in the Tang Dynasty.
These timbers were still very expensive in later generations, and there were many precious mahogany furniture, etc., which were extremely expensive in later generations, but in this era, it was Li Shimin who used them to build the palace.
If you put these things in the values of later generations, if the hall is built with rosewood, is it extravagant? That's more luxurious than a 100 million villa in later generations. But if you put it in this era, such a palace is actually like that.
So, different things, in different eras, the definition of luxury is different.
Just like the carriage in front of Li Lizhi at this moment, the entire interior of the carriage is wrapped with a very precious wood, the most straightforward of which is that the carpet laid on its ground, the incomparably exquisite thick wool carpet, these sites have very complex patterns, and very exquisite, the most important thing is that the carpet of the entire carriage seems to be a whole directly spun.
Because the pattern on it looks like a whole huge pattern, it is composed of some symmetrical flowers and geometric figures, this carpet Li Lizhi knows, because this thing is in the Tang Dynasty...... The same sky-high price.
Now Li Li's business house also operates such products, which is also launched by Dahan, for some high-end products of Datang gate valve nobles and other families, there is such a carpet in his father's bedroom, but the width of that carpet is about 2 meters, and the length is 3 meters.
It was laid in the reception area of his father's bedroom, and the pattern was not so beautiful, but the wool carpet with the same bright color was sold for 500 yuan! Some carpets that are laid on the collapsed or in different areas are cheaper, but they are also relatively cheaper.
And sold to some gate valve families, it is said that there are more extravagant carpets, mainly some different colors, thicknesses and so on.
These things can only be consumed by the gate valve family, and now ...... In front of her, a whole carriage was laid, and this carriage was about 3.5 meters wide and 20 meters long!
In addition to the carpet, there is a very conspicuous sofa in the whole reception area, I don't know what material is made of fur, it is placed on the left side of the carriage, there are three people, two people, single, and on the opposite side of this group of sofas, there is also a single sofa facing each other, with a table in the middle.
In addition, there is a wine cabinet made of glass in this restaurant, all of which are glass doors like crystal, although Li Lizhi knows that the cost of this glass is not expensive, but the large-scale use of this glass is really not much.
The most important thing is that the tableware used in various places is transparent, and there are various shapes of glass and ceramics. In addition, there are some flowers placed in different sections.
Even Li Lizhen is a little dazzled by such a place, not to mention a few of Li Lizhen's maids, a few of them don't know where to look first, these things are put in modern times, maybe some decoration styles will be said to be too earthy, but in this era, no one has seen anything like it at all.
Especially above all, this is not a house, but a train.
"Your Highness, please sit down and rest for a while, you guys will take the trouble to remove your makeup for Your Highness, so that Your Highness can relax a little." Xia Zhu took Li Lizhi directly and sat down on the sofa next to him.
After Li Lizhi sat down on the sofa, she felt the softness under her buttocks, she didn't know what was padded inside, but it was too comfortable to sit on.
"What's that?" Li Lizhi pointed curiously to the back, a strange, half an iron cage, suspended by an iron chain, but these things were painted white, but the half of the iron cage was placed in the sitting cushion and so on, and its surroundings were not the same as the style here, it was full of plants.
It seems that there is an indescribable feeling, and Li Lizhi doesn't know how to describe it.
"It's a hanging chair, it's for His Highness to rest, His Highness can sit there and read a book if he has nothing to do, and then look at the scenery outside the window." Xia Zhu smiled and said.
Li Li's little face was a little surprised, can this chair still be made like this? This...... It was weird, but she had an urge to give it a try.
"What do you call the sisters?" Xia Zhu smiled and turned to the evening frost beside Li Lizhi and asked.
Wanshuang was startled by Xia Zhu's words, but she remembered that Xia Zhu blew herself up, she was the minister of the Ministry of Commerce of Dahan, and it was naturally clear what the Ministry of Commerce was, it was a department with rights equivalent to the six departments of Datang! If Xia Zhu is put in the Tang Dynasty, it will be a six-part squire!
"Slave Wanshuang has seen Minister Xia, Minister Xia, can you call us sisters, we can't afford it." Nightfrost hurriedly saluted and spoke, as did the other three.
"Our identities are the same, I am the personal maid of the chief, but the chief is willing to give me a chance to be in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, but I prefer to be the personal maid of the chief." Xia Zhu said with a smile on his face.
