It can be said that Li Tai is unlucky.

He discussed with a group of fox friends and dog friends for a long time, and the host of the poetry meeting he thought of turned out to be the secretary and young eunuch Yu Shinan.

The old man looked like he was weak, but his temper was quite strong.

When Li Tai told Yu Shinan what he thought, Yu Shinan's face immediately sank.

He asked Li Tai unceremoniously: "Your Highness, do you know what the situation is in the Tang Dynasty at the moment?" ”

Li Tai replied weakly after an "ah": "Isn't it the crown prince who is in charge of the country right now?" Could it be that there is some surprise? ”

Yu Shinan frowned and said: "Your Highness doesn't know about Liangzhou, and Longzhou may face a dead harvest?" ”

Li Tai shook his head in a daze.

Since Li Shimin left Chang'an City, Li Tai has completely let go of himself.

In his opinion, Li Chengqian is handling major national affairs anyway, and he doesn't need to show too much.

Why not take this opportunity to bond with the diners in your own house?

So these days, he is either reciting poems against those literati in the house all day long, or bragging with those children of the family.

The only occasional focus was on the compilation of the geography books.

Therefore, he really doesn't know anything about the current disaster.

Seeing him shake his head, Yu Shinan said in a more blunt tone: "Your Highness will come to Your Majesty every once in a while to discuss state affairs, why don't you care about it now?" ”

Yu Shinan's words directly made Li Tai turn red-faced.

This old man didn't save face for Li Tai at all, so he almost pointed to his nose and said that his previous performance was all a show.

Li Tai snorted for a long time and finally spoke: "This king has been obsessed with learning for a long time, so he has ignored these. ”

Yu Shinan said: "Your Majesty has given His Highness the right to open a literature museum, His Royal Highness has the obligation to participate in state affairs, how can he ignore state affairs?" ”

Li Tai's brows furrowed fiercely.

This old man looks a little endless, why does he always hold on to his little mistakes?

He cleared his thoughts for a moment, and then spoke: "Now it is the crown prince's prison country, and this king is also doing this to avoid suspicion. ”

Although Yu Shinan saw that Li Tai was a little insincere, the reason given by Li Tai made him not say anything more.

He opened his mouth and said to Li Tai: "At present, there are many things in the court, and the old minister advises His Highness to postpone the holding of the poetry meeting, so as not to be caught and attacked." ”

Li Tai also knew that Yu Shinan was sincerely thinking about him when he said this.

At the moment, I agreed without hesitation.

Although Yu Shinan scolded Li Tai a lot today, he also helped him indirectly.

Otherwise, when the ministers of the DPRK and China were busy solving the disaster situation in various places, he went out all day long to play around, and if he didn't get it, something would really happen.

In the following period of time, Li Tai was honest, and soon after, Li Zhi's cosmetics workshop officially began to be put into production.

Li Zhi gave the cosmetics a new name, called "Shengshi Beauty".

The target customers of cosmetics are very clear, that is, those wealthy ladies, young ladies of the family.

These women do not lack money and status, and the only thing they worry about is whether they are beautiful.

In order to make themselves look more beautiful than others, they will not hesitate to pay for everything that can dress them up.

The sales of cosmetics not only continued the practice of hunger marketing, but Li Zhi further divided them into three grades: high, medium and low.

The ingredients contained in these three grades of cosmetics are similar, but the specific ratio has been adjusted.

After all, there are also hierarchies among the rich, and Li Zhi needs to take into account the spending power of each level.

In terms of pricing, Pei Mingli is definitely an expert.

He set the three grades from low to high as ten, twenty and forty respectively.

It fully reflects the dignity of the highest-level customers.

Unsurprisingly, the "Shengshi Beauty" ushered in a hit as soon as it was launched.

The ladies in Chang'an City finally saw a product that could make them more attractive.

A frenzied desire to buy prompted them to enter the "Shengshi Beauty" store.

The trial packs in the store were first sold out, and then the suits of various grades were snapped up in a sigh of surprise.

Fifty sets of gift boxes of three grades each can't meet the needs of the ladies of Chang'an City at all.

So soon there was a lot of bidding in the store.

The ladies have already begun to increase the price so that they can buy a set tomorrow.

Pei Mingli has now played the hype to the fullest.

No matter how these noblewomen raised the price, he just registered them step by step and in order.

The principle of the specialty store is that the goods sold will never increase the price arbitrarily.

The purpose of this is to leave enough profit margins for some nimble brains.

Let them help them sell the goods in the store to all parts of Datang.

In this process, the dignity and scarcity of "prosperous beauty" will be infinitely magnified by these people.

This in turn can improve the brand value of "Shengshi Beauty".

Many rich men in Chang'an City are about to hate Pei Mingli to death.

Because the advent of cosmetics soon cost them a lot of money.

They can't afford not to pay for this money, and some people even have to endure the distress and take the initiative to pay it.

There is no way, the money is gone, and they can make it again, but if the backyard of the house catches fire, they are really not sure that they can put out the fire.

Soon, there were many more ladies and ladies in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City who were beautifully dressed and had red lips and scarves.

These people all ran out to show off after buying cosmetics.

They have completely ignored the summer heat and just want to show everyone their charm.

Before the advent of cosmetics for "Shengshi Beauty", all women needed to apply a layer of lead powder when applying makeup.

Although this thing looks whiter, it will make people's faces blue and dark when used for a long time, and it can quickly turn a young girl into a yellow-faced woman.

After applying the lead powder, you need to apply rouge again.

The so-called rouge is just a simple mixture of red and blue flowers imported from the Western Regions and added to cow bone marrow.

This stuff dries out quickly after use, and it gets all over the clothes.

The eyebrow pencil used for thrush is nothing more than the carbon black left behind by the burning of willow branches.

On closer inspection, there is no aesthetic at all.

The cosmetics developed by Li Zhi are all purified plant and drug essences.

The eyebrow pencil was made into a pencil-like shape by him.

Needless to say, lipstick, this thing is many times stronger than the so-called lipstick.

Not only is the color richer, the fragrance is more elegant, and the moisturizing effect is also different.

The new cosmetics not only make these women more beautiful, but also save a lot of trouble.

It also makes the entire Chang'an City seem to have a trace of indifferent aroma.
