Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 132 What is it?Want to make tribute tea?

"Trade?"

Li Shimin turned his head to the side, looking at the jade face of Empress Changsun, slightly surprised.

"Zhi'er has always lived in the palace, and he has only been out of the palace a few times. Do you want to do business?"

The gold hairpin stuck in a bun swayed slightly, and Empress Changsun nodded, with suspicion written on her fair cheeks.

"Qi'er wanted to tell His Majesty about it, but considering the matter is too trivial, he didn't want to disturb His Majesty."

"But although it was mentioned to the concubine, it did not explain what the purpose of this transaction was."

"Could it be that Qian'er, Tai'er, Ke'er has been here recently, business has been sluggish, but it's hard to talk about it, so you just asked the pawn to come to borrow it?"

The three princes were already adults, and Li Shimin allowed them to get involved with merchants for the first time. After all, when they went to the fiefdom, the way of Eastern evil merchants was also beneficial to governing a corner.

But the three princes are all intelligent people, and they have been running business for three or four years, and they have already been on the right track.Even Li Ke's charcoal business in the imperial city has been flourishing, and he can still donate some rich treasury every year.

In addition, there are many guests under the three people's family, and there is no shortage of rich and wealthy households. It seems that they spend a lot of money to make a move to their parents.

Empress Changsun may be more emotional, thinking of the deep relationship between Princess Changle and her brother, she pulled down the thin noodles to borrow money, but in the eyes of Li Shimin, she absolutely does not believe that Princess Changle borrowed money and silk for these reasons.

Slowly leaning back in the chair, Li Shimin beckoned to the maid to add some boiling water to make hot tea, but his mood was surging.

Buying and selling?

The two words flashed into his mind again, and Li Shimin suddenly connected with one thing.

Cheng Chumo is now helping Li Xian to open the workshop shop, and even Ke'er is helping Li Xian to open the coal mine. Could it be that the money is borrowed for Li Xian?
After pondering for a moment, Li Shimin burst out laughing, which attracted Empress Changsun to look back.

"Your Majesty knows the reason?"

"That's right! Zhi'er borrowed it for business!"

Li Shimin's firm and straightforward answer surprised Empress Changsun a little.

"But Qian'er is not a person who knows how to be a businessman. What kind of business is she borrowing in this way?"

The palace lady carrying the pot walked with lotus steps, leaning forward slightly without interrupting the conversation between the two, the spout of the silver pot spat out thin white lines of smoke, filling the glass cups, the color of the water was slightly dim in the turbulent tea stains.

The moment the palace lady retreated, Li Shimin squeezed the ear of the cup and filled half a cup of tea on the desk before speaking with a smile.

"This business is beneficial to the country and the people, and is related to people's livelihood."

"No matter why you want to borrow the pledge, I have no second opinion."

"Guanyin maidservant, did Zhi'er ever say how much he wanted to borrow?"

The elder, Empress Sun, answered truthfully.

"Actually, it's not much, five hundred gold."

"The concubine wanted to be the master, but after all, this matter is too weird, so I just discussed it with His Majesty."

"Sigh~ This kid keeps his mouth shut and keeps everything to himself. It really makes people worry."

As a mother with a delicate mind, Li Shimin knew it in his heart, stretched out his hand to pinch the eldest grandson Empress Rou Yi, and grasped it in the palm of his hand.

"Guanyin maidservant, the children have grown up, let them go."

"Qi'er has been a person who knows etiquette and propriety since she was a child, why can't you trust her, the outside world is still left to these young people to explore."

"I support her in the matter of buying and selling."

After holding the cup, blowing off the tea leaves on it, and taking a sip slowly, Li Shimin's eyes flickered with joy.

"She wants five hundred gold, which is too little."

"In my opinion, give her five thousand gold and let her go."

"Just pass on my words, manage well, and make something famous if you want to do it!"

……

The hall of Cheng Mansion.

When he first entered Cheng's mansion, Li Xian sat on the side, facing the five pairs of staring eyes around him, feeling rather disturbed.

His Majesty waved his hand yesterday, and the lion opened his mouth to order two boxes of tribute tea. No matter what, he had to report this matter to the Cheng family.

The Cheng family ran around for their own coal business. This time, the tea promised by him had not yet made a single penny, but he had to provide two boxes of tea for nothing. Li Xian felt a little guilty.

Especially the warm welcome from the Cheng family made it difficult for Li Xian to speak at this time, and he hesitated when he spoke.

"Uh... General Cheng... His Majesty visited the mansion yesterday."

"Alas, that clear tea..."

After struggling for a while, Li Xian choked out two inconsequential words, Cheng Yaojin was confused, until he heard the word "green tea", he smiled with great joy on his face.

"Mr. Li is a wonderful person. Our Cheng Mansion tasted this clear tea yesterday. It's delicious."

"It's just...a little..."

Cheng Yaojin, who was big and round, rarely felt embarrassed, scratched his head, and smiled.

"General Cheng doesn't have to worry about the quantity issue. When the workshop is completed, it can be fried in a small room."

"After the tea maker is taught, it will not be a problem to copy a few cans a day."

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin laughed and waved his hands again and again.

"No rush, no hurry, this is naturally under the arrangement of Mr. Li."

"It would be best if there are some uses in the past few days, but that cup...is not enough to drink."

It was difficult enough for a military general who was five-year-old and three-year-old to ask for a little food and drink. Li Xian greeted him with a few pairs of expectant eyes and smiled.

"It's not difficult! If there are fresh tea leaves today, a batch can be delivered tomorrow."

"In addition...yesterday, His Majesty wanted...to offer two boxes of tea leaves...to be rewarded...by the court..."

At the end of the words, it was almost inaudible. Li Xian squeezed his knuckles and made a bang bang, feeling a little apprehensive.

After all, this was a disaster caused by himself, and it was a waste of money for the Cheng family.

Bang.

Cheng Yaojin slapped the desk next to him, and the burning incense burner on the desk bounced and ash was filled.

Staring at Li Xian with big tiger eyes, he spoke loudly.

"Why the hell is there such a beautiful thing? Can it be used as a reward for tribute tea?"

"This... this fucking is simply an honor for the Cheng family!"

Cheng Chumo also moved the seat, leaned against Li Xian, took Li Xian's arm, and leaned over.

"Hey, Brother Li, is this really the case?"

"Don't lie to me!"

Seeing the distraction of this family, Li Xian was a little surprised!
What's the situation?
Was it an honor to be taken away by Li Er's bandits for nothing?
Are you still afraid that you have told a lie?
Shrinking back in the seat, Li Xian nodded in a daze.

"It was originally a box, Li... His Majesty added another box before leaving, saying that one box was a reward and the other box was royal tribute tea."

"The Cheng family lost two boxes of tea in vain, this matter... I'm still to blame!"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Cheng Yaojin seemed extremely excited, striding towards the hall, his big hands kept waving in front of Li Xian's eyes!

"How can this be your fault!"

"It will be an honor for our Cheng family to produce tribute tea for the royal family!"

While speaking, he walked back and forth excitedly in the hall, rubbing his hands excitedly, the scene was comparable to a groom about to enter the bridal chamber.

"Look, old man, what kind of box is this in?"

"The treasure box is too small. If you present it here, Your Majesty will think that our Cheng residence is too expensive and stingy?"

"Go, bring the big water tank in the backyard!"

Li Xian's eyes widened in an instant, and he looked at Cheng Yaojin with horror in his heart.

This old Cheng was given the ecstasy soup by Li Er?
Is it so happy to give it away for nothing?
Afraid that I didn't give enough?
Mrs. Cheng got up with a smile, patted Cheng Yaojin's upraised arm with her bare hands, and said with a smile.

"Water tank, how can you use such an ordinary thing as a gift, and send someone to order a batch of pottery bottles at Yu's house."

"It must be small and exquisite, and it must be good..."

Li Xian looked at the family of five excitedly gathered together, chatting about bottles and jars, shaking his head secretly.

Really good enough!

It's not profitable yet, so I put the bottle money in it first.
