Luxury goods have always been available to rich people.

It took Tang Jian less than a month to return to Datang, thanks to the efficiency of the Persians.

These businessmen, since they were unable to obtain Liuli's profits from Datang, each of them understood the truth that time is money.

An inch of time is worth an inch of gold. They sold colored glaze and various things from Tang Dynasty to Persia for big prices.

On the way back with them, Tang Jian felt that these Persians were desperate. If His Royal Highness Li Ke hadn't personally told him that no matter what kind of danger, just go forward, Tang Jian might really retreat.

It feels good to be back in Chang'an.

In Chang'an City, Tang Jian first went back to find Li Shimin, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin sat in the court hall, listening to Tang Jian's report, and it was even more uncomfortable to hear the battle report.

The war felt so immediate, unlike his previous wars.

The feeling of No. 1's narration is so powerful that no one in the court is willing to believe it.

Yu Chigong only felt like a stick.

"War, can it be like this?"

Tang Jian didn't realize the danger inside, but said lightly: "That's right, Your Highness always fights like this."

"By the way, I didn't actually mention one point, that is, His Highness hasn't made a move yet."

There are too many generals, and Tang Jian's body is thin, which seems not enough for them to ravage.

It wasn't until Li Shimin called to stop that everything became a little quieter.

All kinds of marks on Tang Jian's face were extremely obvious.

Tang Jian felt very uncomfortable, "Everyone, do I have any grudges against you?"

"General Yuchi, you almost stuffed the sole of your foot into my mouth just now, I just want to ask, if it were you, would you agree?"

Yu Chigong and Tang Jian had a good relationship, and when he heard this, his face turned red to the neck.

"Wu Guogong, I was wrong, and I apologize to you."

This is the advantage of Yu Chigong, if he is wrong, he is wrong, he admits his mistakes directly, without ambiguity, this is the demeanor of a state prince, and also the heart of a magnanimous person.

Tang Jian sighed: "If everyone beat me up and told me I was wrong, wouldn't they take advantage of it?"

"By the way, Your Highness said that there will be an auspicious beast by my side. I don't know if it is still there, but along the way, the Persians encountered dangers several times. I have experienced them all, as if they were really helped by a god."

Speaking of this, Tang Jian was extremely proud: "The reason why Your Highness asked me to come back is actually to let me come back to do two things."

After Tang Jian finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Especially those military generals who had an outbreak just now, each of them had embarrassment on their faces, as if they were indescribably uncomfortable.

Li Shimin asked curiously: "What did Ke Er ask you to come back?"

Tang Jian glanced around, "Your Majesty, only you know about this matter."

The voice fell, and everything became a little quiet.

Everyone looked at Tang Jian eagerly, with disappointment on their faces.

After the dynasty was over, in Li Shimin's private study, a leisure place outside the imperial study, Tang Jian said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Your Highness asked me to come back to do business."

Li Shimin's forehead went dark in an instant.

"Business? What business?"

Li Shimin was a little angry: "It's too much, too much. In the current Tang Dynasty, every minister wants to do business."

"Is it so tempting to make money?"

"Aren't high-ranking officials attractive enough?"

Tang Jian's face was full of discomfort, but there was a fact that he didn't want to talk about.

That is the official in the world, not for money, but for profit.

Under power, money is drizzle.

With rights, what's not simple?
Tang Jian continued: "Your Majesty, it's not that high-ranking officials and generous salaries are not attractive."

"I think that the officials of the Tang Dynasty now have great ambitions."

"The law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that officials should not engage in business, which is correct, but what His Highness means is to form an official business."

Li Shimin was startled, official businessman?Is that the same as the previous salt merchant?
Officials and businessmen are under the official control of Datang, and all profits are turned over to the state treasury. Everyone has no pressure to survive, and only needs to receive corresponding salaries.

Is this form really okay?

"His Majesty?"

Tang Jian saw Li Shimin's hesitation.

He continued: "His Highness said that if possible, he would like to let the minister run some once-and-for-all businesses."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he became interested.

"What business does Ke'er ask you to do?"

"agate!"

"What is agate?"
"Your Majesty, it is just a kind of stone, but this kind of stone is very beautiful. After processing, it is a work of art."

Li Shimin frowned: "How much can this thing sell for?"

Tang Jian explained patiently: "Your Majesty, don't look at this thing as small, but as long as the processing costs are calculated and some strange stories are added, the surrounding countries may soon pay for it."

Li Shimin frowned, very interested: "Really?"

"Will no one find out if you do this?"

Tang Jian smiled slightly: "Of course not, Your Majesty, the craftsmanship is in our hands."

"Even if they discover it, we can still say that our craft is how many days and hours spent by the top craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty to carve it carefully."

"Hey, how can the work of a craftsman be measured by money?"

Li Shimin felt very humiliated. The price of his previous business was clearly marked, which was too small and transparent.

"Tang Jian, who taught you such a black method?"

Tang Jian said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I thought of it myself."

Li Shimin was angry at one point: "Well, you Tang Jian, you went to Turkic for a trip, and your whole body is full of bad water. Did you fail in your studies?"

"The reward I want to give you, I will take it back now."

Tang Jian was very helpless: "Your Majesty, you know me well..."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and thought of the reason, "Okay, I know."

"You go back and do it. How much money you need will be paid from the treasury."

When Li Shimin heard the concept of luxury for the first time, he was excited.

He knew that what Li Ke said would definitely work.

Datang is now the place that all countries yearn for. Recently, the business tax of the Persians alone can make the Datang treasury overwhelmed.

Luxury goods, this thing is so much more than the cost price, will anyone buy it?
Li Shimin had doubts in his heart, but he didn't hesitate at all when he thought of the current selling price of the icing sugar produced in Longmen.

Treasury, appropriation!
Outside the palace, Yu Chigong waited for a long time, and the first thing he said when he saw Tang Jian was: "Old Tang, is what you said true?"

Yuchi Gong was serious.

"Your Highness, did you really burn a hundred thousand soldiers to death?"

"And Cheng Yaojin's rammed goods, one person can be worth tens of thousands of troops?"

"Aren't you lying to me?"

"Tang Jian, tell me quickly."

Tang Jian was pinched by Yu Chigong's neck and coughed for a long time.

"Cough cough cough, Yuchi is so stupid, can you fucking let go."
