Chapter Ninety-Eight: Li Shimin's Thoughts
Finally finished reading today's recital, it was late at night, and Empress Changsun handed over the warm porridge in time and rubbed Li Er's temples.
After Li Shimin finished drinking the porridge, he patted the hand of Empress Changsun and said, "Go, walk with me, I'm very tired!" ”
Empress Changsun gave Li Shimin a coat, the two walked outside, the whole palace fell into silence at night, the palace in the dark is actually not beautiful at all, looking at the brightly lit Chang'an City outside, Li Shimin sighed: "This prosperous world should be as I wish, I only hope that the world is peaceful, and the people can have a good life!" ”
Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said, "Why does Your Majesty have such feelings? You go and take a look at the Linjia Village, today's development, I can't understand, a few days ago my brother came to me and discussed with me, can this cake shop also let him open a little, not in Chang'an City, open far away from the capital! ”
"You agree?"
"Hehe, no, brother is testing me, if I agree, then my brother can take more things from Linjia Village, at present, Linjia Village is still too young, Liu Fan's child is too shallow, if everyone is concerned, there is no scum left that has not been eaten!" Empress Eldest Sun said slyly.
Li Shimin nodded, looked in the direction of Linjia Village, and then said: "This village, now developed like a city, because there is no city wall, and there is no curfew, people who go can play from morning to evening, and play from night to morning, these people who come and go have created countless incomes for Linjia Village, it is indeed worth remembering, but I didn't expect Cui's hand to stretch out so long!" ”
"I found out, it wasn't Cui's original intention, it's just that the people below want to invite credit, it can be seen that this Lin Family Village is also full of loopholes, and it will inevitably be used by people with intentions!" Empress Eldest Sun said in a cold tone.
Li Shimin snorted, he has always turned a blind eye to the tricks between the ministers, although Liu Fan is currently in a free-range state, Li Shimin also hopes that Liu Fan can grow up as soon as possible, only in this way can it be of great use in the future! What can a child who has always been protected do, as long as it doesn't threaten life.
Whether it is Zhenguan plough or horseshoe, or the technology of making salt, Liu Fan has raised the strength of Datang by several grades, Li Shimin is confident that Datang will be stronger on this basis, and he is full of confidence in the next expedition to the Turks.
Empress Changsun said: "But don't say, this cake shop is quite profitable, just opened a few days ago, the turnover of a single store in one day exceeded hundreds of times, it is really surprising!" ”
The professional terminology did not bother Li Shimin, these things were specially explained in the business conditions of the store written by Liu Fan, and the store managers who managed these stores were all those women taught by Liu Fan and Liu An, and now they are managing a store in the city, sometimes Li Shimin feels that these women are overused, and they are not proficient in arithmetic, even if they are not smart, they are better than some officials in the household department.
Li Shimin said: "Now there are 110 squares in Chang'an City, how many have you opened!" ”
"Some shops have not opened, some have opened a few more, and there are currently a total of 140 shops!"
Li Shimin converted, this was a big surprise, if a store makes a profit of 100 yuan a day, the profit of 140 stores is very scary, no wonder Changsun Wuji also took a fancy to this business, if these stores really make money all the time, it is many times higher than the tax of a state in some places.
Empress Changsun and Li Shimin have been together for so long, just seeing Li Shimin's contemplative expression, she knew his thoughts, and suddenly said: "That's the opening, everyone is just trying to be fresh, now after the opening, the revenue of each store is about 20, and it will be calculated clearly at the end of the month, and all the palaces will be renovated, and the expenses of the palace maids, the expenses of the royal family, etc., can be regarded as having a source!" ”
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect a small cake workshop to be so profitable, Liu Fan, this kid, doesn't know how his brain grows, if such a rich business is known, I'm afraid that Linjia Village will be in the limelight again!" ”
Empress Eldest Sun glanced at Li Shimin, that glance was full of charm, and even Li Shimin was stunned, "Second brother!" That kid has already made enough money on the cake, no, he almost made money before he found me, let me take the risk and open a cake shop outside in my name! ”
Li Shimin laughed out loud when he heard this, but immediately said: "This kid is very idle now, first offended the Cui family, and then offended the Changping County Prince, if he continues to mess around like this, I am afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will be offended, or it will have to be placed under my nose!" ”
"Some time ago, Tang Jian ordered Liu Fan to go to Honglu Temple to be on duty, but this kid played a trick, if Your Majesty wants to catch this little loach, you have to work hard!" Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.
Li Shimin held one hand in both hands, then shook it, and said loudly: "In the universe, under the whole world, who can't be used by me?" Not to mention a small loach, even if it is an evil dragon, I can cut it! ”
When Empress Changsun heard Li Shimin's words, she immediately leaned over and saluted.
Li Shimin laughed and picked up Empress Changsun and returned to the palace.
And Liu Fan, who didn't know what the future would be and was still lying flat, was discussing with Liu An in the house how to pick up girls.
Liu Fan naturally has a method of picking up girls, but it is somewhat inappropriate to use it in this era, and women in this era may not like it, so after Liu An and Li Jinxi got along for a day, they were somewhat humble and asked for advice.
Liu An lay on the chair, sucking tea, and Liu Fan sat respectfully on the side.
Liu An said: "This little lady of the Li family is very good, but she loves cleanliness very much, she has to wipe her hands there, and she will frown when the soles of her shoes are dirty, and she has always wanted to wipe her shoes clean to be comfortable, and oh, the cakes in our store are irregular, and she will also quietly visit all neatly, brother!" Don't you see, those cakes, they're all in a row, and they're sorted from largest to smallest, oh my God! How patient she is, I have a headache to watch, let alone get it! ”
Liu Fan listened and remembered, for this kind of person who loves cleanliness extremely and obsessive-compulsive disorder, he actually has a very good impression in his heart, because he also loves cleanliness, although he is not perverted enough, but he still hopes that his other half has the same idea, otherwise he will marry a beautiful person who does not love cleanliness and come back, then he is the most painful thing.
