Chapter 268: Showing Financial Strength
Seeing Li Shen's helplessness, Li Chengqian laughed.
"Old ten, the eldest brother also wants to show his strength for Datang, but the eldest brother has no strength."
Since it can't be changed, Li Shen doesn't bother with that, anyway, he is indeed rich and powerful now.
"Big brother, you said first, but what about the second?"
"Second, Aya asked me to accompany you to practice sacrifices, I replaced Aye, Aya said that I would be embarrassed to follow you that day."
Li Shen's practice of sacrifice is all imaginary, who dares to play the role of Li Shimin, Li Shimin also knows this, so let Li Chengqian accompany Li Shenlian,
Li Shimin knows a lot about this unreliable son, and he is afraid that Li Shen will make some trouble that day.
"Okay, then let's practice, big brother, did you have any tricks at the beginning, or a quick fix."
"Nope."
"By the way, big brother, then I'm just going to prepare for the night."
Normally, you need to eat two meals at his house.
"You don't think that dinner will be prepared for you in the palace, right?" Li Chengqian asked rhetorically,
The marriage procedure is in the palace, but it will still be held in the palace.
"Rich, rich," Li Shen shouted after hearing this
"What does the prince command?"
"The wedding banquet has changed, only prepare for the evening meal, let Wang Hongfu prepare 10,000 ingredients, this king will prepare 3,000 tables of wine banquet on Zhuque Street, call all the food in the palace, and craftsmen to teach Yu. The rest is for the people in the Chamber of Commerce.
Doesn't it mean that it shows the richness of the Tang Dynasty, and the banquet of 10,000 people is always okay. ”
"Three thousand tables?" Li Chengqian was surprised, ten people at a table is 30,000 people.
A table is 100,000 yuan according to an ordinary wine banquet, and it costs 300,000 yuan.
Some people will say that there are only 100 yuan per table, which is not much, but you must know that 100 yuan is 100,000 yuan. 100 is enough for a high-end banquet.
"Tenth brother, are you a bit wasteful?"
"Big brother, I'm getting married, getting married is a major event in life, how can I make a small fuss, this is not worthy of my identity, and didn't Aya say that he wanted to show off his national strength."
"Then you...."Li Chengqian didn't know how to answer, Li Shen was too rich.
Move your mouth on the top and break your leg on the bottom.
Li Shen's casual words made Wang Hongfu sad. There is no problem with meat, the farm is enough, and as for the manpower of the palace guards.
But what to do with pit cooking, pit cooking refers to chefs, the chefs of the palace and the chefs of the flavor hall are going to enter the palace, and the number of chefs is too many for tens of thousands of people's meals.
In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Hongfu sent his subordinates to all the prefectures and counties within a day's journey of Chang'an to find cooks.
He also asked people to collect vegetables at a farm near Chang'an.
And he personally took people to Zhuangzi in Li Shen's food yi to find someone to help.
Because of Li Shen's words, the workload of the palace has increased more than tenfold. Even Wang Xuance, who had already returned, was writing invitations for Li Shen and had a sore back and numb arms.
Li Shen continued to train in etiquette.
In fact, Li Shenzhen doesn't know what it means to be elegant and noble. He hadn't lived a fancy life before.
Although he has money after crossing, he is still a petty bourgeois idea, and anything is good as long as it is the most expensive.
In modern terms, it is described as an upstart, a rich man.
These two days made Li Shen deeply realize the pain of wanting to be elegant, which is the cultural heritage left over from China for thousands of years.
The kind of nondescript combination of Chinese and Western weddings in later generations is simple, don't want it.
Li Shen cheered himself up, and he can be regarded as contributing to the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture.
Just when Li Shen was in pain, a team of dozens of people quickly whipped through Liangzhou City and rushed towards Chang'an City.
This group of people was the Tibetan delegation to Chang'an, and the leader of the team was named Sangyang Donne, who was also a famous minister under Songtsen Gampo.
The first purpose of this trip to Chang'an is to resolve the impact of this interception of the Tang Prince, and at present, Tubo is not ready for a full-scale war with the Tang Dynasty.
The second is to try every means to save the son of the great minister Lu Dongzan, Gar Chizheng Zanzhuo, and the Lu Dongzan family is willing to pay any price.
It turned out that more than 100 of the Tibetan soldiers who intercepted and killed Li Shen fled, some of them chose to live in seclusion for fear of being punished, and some ran back to the tribe.
Others ran back to report the news.
And when Lu Dongzan knew the new news that the mission had failed and the whole army had been wiped out, he almost fainted.
Later, some soldiers who returned said that they saw that Gar Trizheng Tsandro was not dead, but only wounded. Only then did Lu Dongzan not feel so sad.
Later, after Songtsen Gampo also learned about this, in order to show his importance to Lu Dongzan, he sent Sangyang Donne as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty.
Sangyang Dunne is also brave and strategic, both civil and military, Songtsen Gampo hopes that it can do its best to calm the anger of the Tang Dynasty,
"Vice Minister, we have just attacked the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an will not kill us, right?" an official of the mission asked worriedly.
"Rile, don't worry, the Tang people pay the most attention to etiquette, and they value reputation more than anything else. The two countries are not at war yet, we are not at war yet. Sanyang Donne comforted
"Deputy Prime Minister, I feel that we will not succeed this time, especially saving Gar Chizheng Zandro, it is a dream, I think Gar Chizheng Zandrol may have been killed.
When I first discussed this plan, I felt that this attack was unnecessary, if it was their emperor, it would be better to say, killing a prince would have no effect at all except for a provocation to the Tang Dynasty. "Rile is very dissatisfied with Lu Dongzan's approach,
"There are some things that we can't decide, Žiler. Let's do our best. He also knew that this time it was not that simple, and it was impossible for Gar Chizheng Tsangdrout to return alive.
The mission hurried away in this way, hoping to catch up with King Ji's wedding and offer a congratulatory gift to ease the relationship.
"Lord, it's time for the prince to get up." Chunxiang called Li Shen softly
"Lord Wang,"
"Let the king sleep for a while." Li Shen muttered, I practiced too late yesterday.
"What's the matter, hasn't the prince gotten up yet?" At this time, Lan Yu'er pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing Li Shen, who was still asleep on the bed, he walked over and shouted loudly.
"Lord, lord, I got married today, I can't sleep anymore, I'm going to enter the palace soon. After a while, the concubine Niangniang will be in a hurry," pushed Li Shen as she spoke.
After Li Shen was pushed awake, he got up in a daze, and then began to bathe and change clothes under the service of a group of maids, wearing a crown robe.
This crown dress was made by Wei Guifei in the palace with heavenly silk, which took three months and the theme was purple.
Everything is made to the specifications of the Prince of Yipin.
Li Shen is at the mercy of this, if he is allowed to wear it himself, he really won't, and he has all the accessories on his body.
After wearing the crown, Li Shen felt that he really looked a little bit like in the TV series.
In this way, Li Shen went out and got into the car to the palace.
