Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 13 Queen, This is Chanel No. [-]

In the Hall of Zhengde, Empress Changsun reads a book with Li Lizhi in her arms.

Li Lizhi is eight years old this year. She is smart and looks like Empress Changsun. She is the favorite child of Li Shimin and his wife.

At this moment, Li Shimin, whose face was slightly red, came back.

"Queen, let's see what I brought back for you."

Li Shimin then noticed that Li Lizhi was also there, and said with a smile, "Changle is also here."

Empress Changsun stood up and saluted, "What did Your Majesty bring back?"

She remained calm, but she was very curious in her heart.

Today when Li Shimin went out, Changsun Wuji's people followed him, but they were thrown away by Li Shimin's motorcade.

After all, he is the most powerful Qianniu Guard in Datang, and his strength is still much stronger than the guards in Zhang Suowuji's mansion.

Empress Changsun had no choice but to wait for Li Shimin to come back and ask again.

Li Shimin laughed, then took a bundle and opened it, "Look, this is a perfume made by my friend. This perfume will definitely sell well in Chang'an."

Empress Changsun glanced at it, and found that the perfume bottle was beautifully made, even more promising than the perfume bottle she used last time.

"Look at it, Royal Father, I want it too."

Li Lizhi saw it and liked it very much. She ran over and grabbed a bottle with one hand.

Empress Changsun was even more displeased when she saw it. She thought it was a flashy thing.

"Your Majesty's friend wants to sell this perfume?"

"Yes, five hundred dollars a bottle, haha, it's mainly sold to the noble ladies in Chang'an."

"Five hundred dollars is too expensive. You can buy fifty buckets of new rice."

Although Empress Changsun is in the deep palace, she will not take the initiative to take care of the affairs of the court, but she is not a person without opinions.

Empress Changsun has always paid attention to the price of grain and rice, which is the most important thing for ordinary people.

Li Shimin nodded, clapped his hands and smiled: "The queen is amazing, I thought so too at the time, but after my friend explained it carefully, I think it makes sense, and it should be able to sell for five hundred yuan, after all, there are many rich people in Chang'an .”

Chang'an is more than a lot of rich people, Chang'an is the most powerful city in the world at this time.

The population of Chang'an at this time was about 50 to 60. Neither the Roman Empire, the Persian Empire, nor Tianzhu had such a large city.

Constantinople, the largest in Europe, is a small place compared to Chang'an, which is seven times larger in area.

"Oh, what did he say?"

"He said that his perfume sells a brand and a story."

"This……"

If Empress Changsun was a man, she would definitely be an official in the imperial court. She is very smart, but she doesn't understand the brand promotion of later generations.

Li Shimin laughed, seeing that Empress Changsun didn't understand, he was very proud, and then he said Chen Zhu's set of explanations again.

"I see."

At this moment, Li Lizhi handed the perfume bottle to Empress Changsun, "Queen Mother, look at this bottle, there are words on it, and there is a sentence."

Empress Changsun took the perfume bottle.

"Yun Xiang clothes Hua Xiangrong."

This is a poem by Li Bai, a poetic fairy. The plain sentences have a sense of elegance and refinement.

Empress Changsun was stunned for a moment, she felt that this poem was written really well, far better than those tender poems nowadays.

"Is this a poem?"

Li Er was even more proud, "That's right, Queen, this is my friend's idea. He will promote a new perfume next, and then he will write other poems."

"Such a perfume with a story... Maybe it can really sell well."

Li Lizhi shouted: "Father, this is actually a poem, it's really well written."

"Oh, Changle, do you want to read the following verses?"

"Thinking about it, father, Changle wants to see it."

Empress Changsun was also a little curious. She suddenly found that the writing on the perfume bottle was thin and vigorous, with a special sense of beauty.

"This word is so different?"

"Queen, this word was also invented by my friend, it's called thin gold body."

When Empress Changsun saw that Li Shimin said "friend" but closed "friend", she was somewhat unhappy, but she would not show it.

Li Shimin then took out the rice paper he got from Li Yun, on which was the entire chapter of "Qingping Diao".

He directly unfolded the rice paper to Queen Changsun, "Queen, Changle, this is the following verse."

"Clouds think about clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows on the fence to reveal Hualong..."

Li Lizhi's tender and sweet voice sounded, and she exclaimed in surprise after finishing reading: "Mother, this poem is really well written."

She is young and doesn't know what is good, but she feels that it is a good poem.

Empress Changsun nodded, "Yes, the writing is excellent."

Her eyes lingered on the rice paper, looking at the big characters on it, thinking that the characters were like people, she couldn't help but doubt her previous opinion.

If Li Er's "friend" is really a courtier, how can he write such poems and characters?
She then thought of Li Shimin's character, and immediately felt that her previous judgment was even more problematic.

"Am I really wrong?"

……

There are two big markets in Chang'an, namely Dongshi and Xishi. The West Market is located in Chang'an County, and the East Market is located in Wannian County.

There are more dignitaries in Wannian County, and more common people in Chang'an County.

But in terms of which of the two markets is more prosperous and lively, it is actually the West Market.

Although there are more dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, and more luxury goods in Dongshi, there are many officials and family members after all, so they are usually more rigorous.

The West Market is for businessmen from all over the world, and the common people are more casual, so rich people like to go there to play.

100 years later, Li Bai often went to Xishi to drink.

Today, Li Yun came to West Market, and he came to a spice shop that he had never been to before.

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in, and reward the host for Dior perfume production expertise."

In the past few days, he has checked in the spice shop continuously, and has already obtained several kinds of perfumes.

If it is like Apple in the later generations, one perfume a year, he can always update it until 50 years later.

"Young master, do you want to buy spices? The spices in this store are the best in Chang'an."

This spice shop is called "Wanjia Spice Shop". There is no couplet in front of the shop, but there are a lot of customers.

Li Yun had investigated it a long time ago. This spice shop is very popular in Chang'an, and the spices it sells have a good reputation.

He intends to sell the first batch of Chanel perfume in this spice shop.

There are two main reasons for not setting up a store by yourself.

One is that he is lazy, he didn't want to become the richest man in Datang by selling perfumes, nor did he think about building a business empire by relying on these perfumes.

Second, although perfume is not worth too much money, it is inevitable that some people will become greedy.

Li Yun only has old Uncle Li to rely on now, but he can't bother Old Uncle Li with everything.

So he needs to take the initiative to find some friends for himself.

This "Wanjia Spice" actually has many branches in Chang'an. It is said that the boss behind the scenes is Li Shentong, the king of Yongkang County, the clan of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yun believed that he would give up part of the benefits to Li Shentong, and the Great Tang clan would also consider protecting him.

So Li Yun came here, but he had to show his strength, otherwise people would eat him up.

Li Yun smiled faintly, and raised his voice and said, "Let your shopkeepers come out."
