Take the mall to Datang

"Oh, I can't see that Zhao Shaoqing really has a heart, so what do you want from this prince?" Li Jiancheng asked directly.

"I don't want to repay you, I just want to share the worries of His Majesty the Prince." Zhao Shaoqing knelt down and said.

"Okay, then the prince will accept it, but where did you get this thing?" Li Jiancheng asked curiously.

"This item is from Lantian County Baron Yuan Shan, and it is said to be an ancestral item." Zhao Shaoqing said.

"The Baron of Lantian County? I don't have any impression." Li Jiancheng said casually.

This is not surprising. It was like this in the early Tang Dynasty. The princes walked all over the place, and the marquis was as numerous as dogs. It seemed that only twenty people were granted immunity from death.

In the current environment, it's no wonder that a prince can remember that kind of small title. It's probably not bad if he has heard of it.

"Back to the prince, I have already sent people to inquire. He was born in a side branch of the Yuan family and was the only son of a concubine. His father, Viscount Yuan Liang of Lantian County, passed away not long ago, and he came from Yuezhou only three months ago." Zhao Sande said in detail, Then even Yuanshan's ancestors said something.

"Oh, no wonder there is such an object. It turned out that the ancestors belonged to the Yuan family. Unfortunately, the Yuan family has been ruined, and now they are separated. If it was still useful in the past, that's it, that's it." I don't have any hope, I might as well try to curry favor with the courtiers, especially Pei Ju and others when I have that time.

Zhao Sande was very smart. He was an idle official. He didn't expect Li Shimin's eldest son Li Chengqian to come to Taichang Temple not long ago and took away 120 maids.

Take it away, just take it away, but that Yuan Shan let him go again. This is not a trivial matter, but with Zhongshan King Li Chengqian as his backer, who would dare to stop him.

If Zhao Sande didn't stand in line this time, he would definitely be regarded as Li Shimin's wave. After a few days of deliberation, he decided to put the treasure on the prince, and this is what happened today.

"Haha, this Yuanshan is really a wonderful person to hear what you said. He took away those women and let them go. You also said that he only found those who were screened out. Haha, interesting." Li Jiancheng listened to some trivia I feel that Yuan Shan is a playboy and a prodigal.

The more I listened, the more I shook my head, thinking that there is such a person by Gao Ming's side, it seems that my younger brother who has always been known for knowing people and being good at doing things is sometimes negligent.

As an elder brother, I have to help, otherwise it would be bad if people say that I, as an uncle, knew that my nephew was messing around and ignored it.

Li Jiancheng glanced at Zhao Sande, and said in his heart that since this guy wants to be a dragon, let him be fulfilled. He is a talented person, and the prince will not let him be subdued.

"Zhao Shaoqing, the crown prince has something for you to handle. If you do it well, your benefits will be indispensable." Li Jiancheng said.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, this humble minister will serve the whole horse." Zhao Sande said respectfully, but his heart was beating drums. This is considered to be a member of the prince's wave. What kind of achievements can we have in the future, we can only start from now. up.

Chapter 40

Yuan Shan, who fell asleep late yesterday due to insomnia, woke up at this time. At this time, it was already broad daylight and it should be noon. He felt a little hungry. Just as he was about to get up, he found that Caiyi was sleeping beside his bed. caught.

It just reminded me that I couldn't sleep because of insomnia yesterday, and Caiyi was helping to massage his head. After he fell asleep, he didn't remember anything, but from this point, it can be seen that Caiyi is a kind and righteous woman. Can my body survive lying on the bedside all night?

"Caiyi, wake up... You silly girl, why don't you go back to sleep, what should you do if you stay here to catch the cold." Yuan Shan gently woke Caiyi up and said with concern.

"I'm fine. Madam came over to see the young master yesterday, and let Caiyi take care of him. I'll wash your face right now." Said Caiyi, she hurriedly stood up and waited on him.

"Master, the washing water is ready." He Ye's voice came over, and at this moment, the voices of several women in the study came over one after another.

Yuan Shan thought about it and immediately walked out of the small room to see that He Ye and the four major secretaries were there, and when they looked at Caiyi, they all had smirks on their faces, and Caiyi's face immediately turned red when he followed Yes, that shy look is very gratifying.

"Master, Caiyi...retire first." Caiyi quickly fled the study with a blushing face.

"What are you guys doing? Since you entered the house, why didn't you let Caiyi go back to rest? You are too heartless." Yuan Shan said pretending to be angry.

Lan Lan immediately went to Yuan Shan's side and explained: "Master, there is no conscience, isn't it because I'm afraid of ruining that little girl's good deed?"

"You have a lot of ideas." Yuan Shan said casually.

"Our sisters were guarding here last night. If we were not afraid of waking up the young master, we would have gone in to serve you a long time ago. Our sisters are all young master's people. We can't just remember that Caiyi is good, but Forget about our sisters." Lan Lan said coquettishly.

"Okay, the sun is drying my butt, and I'm still acting like a baby..." Yuan Shan said, being surrounded by several women early in the morning is really a blessing.

I thought about it all night yesterday, and woke up on a whim in the morning. Living in this era, how can I do without bodyguards? Only the best can protect themselves.

After washing up, I ate something casually and started playing in the not-so-small yard of the outer courtyard. If I didn’t have a guy in my hand, I could only use a stick. Anyway, I was sweating a lot from playing around, and it felt good. .

Then he started his new project. He set up a target in the outer court. After the four female generals cleared the outer court, they entered the study and came out with several slingshots in their hands. Then each of them issued one in their hands, and then began to fight against each other. Start practicing with the target.

The outer courtyard became lively after this tossing, the noisy and bustling maids in the inner courtyard heard it, and even Dugu Ruolan was alarmed, but Yuan Shan forcibly pulled her over and started to join the ranks of playing slingshots In the middle, Yuanshan found that once a woman used this as a game, she would enjoy playing it more than herself, and Lan Lan, who was good at dancing, was the fastest to get started. Her physical fitness was much better than the others, and her adaptability was stronger It didn't take long to hit the target.

"Ruolan, don't worry. This is actually very simple. My husband will teach you how to relax. It requires skills." Of course, Yuan Shan would not let go of this opportunity to get close to his wife, draw in their feelings for each other, and marry a wife like this. For a long time, they haven't had sex yet, because Yuan Shan is under the pressure of thinking, and he doesn't really understand feelings, but he has been working hard, just like now, it's good to find opportunities to flirt with each other once in a while .

But obviously Yuan Shan was thinking too much. Under such circumstances, Ruolan was studying very seriously, and he mastered the essentials in a short while. Although Yuan Shan didn't eat enough tofu, he was not needed at all in the end. Guidance, Yuan Shan was depressed, but soon, Dugu Ruolan returned to the inner courtyard, and took Caiyi and Qinsi away.

Yuan Shan knew that he was going back to manage the accounts, so he ignored it. Anyway, Dugu Ruolan was taking care of the trivial matters at home, so he was relieved.

"Xiyin, I see that you are so stupid that you haven't hit a single hit. Let Ben Hou Lord teach you." Yuan Shan couldn't stand it anymore, and felt that the opportunity to show his talent had come. Miss Xiyin always gives people a somewhat dull feeling, and the four girls are really Xiyin's physique is that kind of weak, a man will have a desire to protect when he sees such a woman.

"Master, teach Qimeng too."

Yuan Shan couldn't help but feel a little numb when he heard the coquettish voice. The women in Taichang Temple have been professionally trained, and he doesn't know how they have been trained. He feels that everyone in these beauties is different They have different flavors and characteristics.

It seems weak, reserved, sunny, hot, or that girl's mind. Don't guess, you can't guess it after guessing. The more you are familiar with, the more you understand, the more you can understand some of the feelings they endured. He provided them with a haven of refuge in Yuanjia Manor. They don't have to worry about the future, and they don't have to try their best to deal with people they don't like. Who in this world likes to live forced by themselves, so here they live very real.

It’s just why Yuan Shan recently feels that these four beauties seem to be seducing him, and from time to time they will make up some ambiguous plots and the like. Most of the time Yuan Shan doesn’t care, but recently It's a bit too obvious, after all, he is a young man now, how can he bear it if he goes on like this for a long time.

"Lan Lan, you play very well, go and teach Qimeng." After practicing for a while, He Ye put away all the slingshots again, and will need to use this practice tomorrow.

"He Ye, take a slingshot to the workshop and ask Craftsman Yang and Tiejiang Lu to make some slingshots. It's better to have a larger one and install it in a secret place in Yuanjia Manor. It can also be used to guard against bad guys. By the way, how about the production volume of the three-wheeled bicycles that Lord Ben Hou wants to do." Yuan Shan immediately ordered.

"Xiyin and Qimeng, you two are too weak. From now on, you have to run ten laps in this yard every day, and you two have to add half a bowl of rice to lunch every day, especially since Xiyin is so thin just now. Master Ben is holding you because your bones hurt when I taught you." Yuan Shan said again to the women in the outer courtyard.

Yanbei was going to Chang'an with the cattle caravan at noon, and he came back at night to deliver the goods and bought a lot of wine. The twelve carts were full of wine, and when they came back, they were all taken to the medicinal restaurant.

"Yanbei, is there any news from the Western Turks in Chang'an City today asking for a marriage?" Yuan Shan asked in the pharmacy room while fiddling with some equipment that had just been shipped from blacksmith Lu.

"Today in Chang'an City, the news about the Western Turk's request for a marriage has been spread. It is said that His Majesty has agreed to Pei Ju's proposal, and he is going to deliver the goods today, saying that he wants to buy a batch of lime from us." Yan Yan North replied.

"Oh? What's going on here? Let me think about it. I'm afraid there is no way to do it. Maybe the Turkic people are going to make trouble this time." Yuan Shan muttered to himself, and quickly put this matter to rest. Forget it, these limes have become materials, so he is going to distribute them.

Chapter 41

Yuanshan and the four great beauties are in the pharmaceutical room now, and an iron pot still has just been installed, and now it can increase the alcohol concentration. Yuanshan is not planning to open a winery, but is planning to use spirits to concoct wine.

Now Datang’s food is not rich enough to be used for wine making casually, and the current wine making process consumes a lot of food. The common people still can’t eat food. How can there be rich people to make wine, so Datang The alcohol prices are very expensive.

Yuan Shan didn't want to waste time and food to build a winery or something, because the process from koji making to wine making is complicated. Simply put, it is too troublesome. The cost of buying ready-made wine and purifying it is very high, but it can save a lot of money. time.

In fact, the main reason is that the risk is too high. He wants to keep a low profile, so since he has built a medicated restaurant, he should promote it. Medicinal wine is his main product. Anyway, the consumption of medicated wine is not much, and it will take some time. .

Besides, those wild medicinal materials are still very abundant in this era, so why not use such a good resource? With the reference of the medicinal wines purchased in the mall, it is enough to focus on health-preserving wines.

Yuanshan has been very busy these days, and the faces of the four beauties in the pharmaceutical room are rosy every day, because the aroma of the distilled wine makes them dreamlike, especially on the first day of distillation, they almost died in the pharmaceutical room. There was a scene where the four beauties got drunk. Fortunately, Yuan Shan had been using some extraordinary methods on them all along, tied them all up and carried them to the medicinal restaurant, otherwise the pharmacy would have been blown away by them. .

Later, Yuan Shan could only let them wear masks and gloves as a form of protection. These things have long been used by the employees in Yuanjia Manor, and they are all made by the maids in charge of sewing. The lime kiln needs to be replaced every once in a while, and most of the old ones are cleaned and repaired.

Yuanshan is not bad, so the money is all used by new ones in the end, and those that have been mended are distributed to the farmers for use.

For a few days, Yanbei delivered goods to Chang'an every day and brought back enough drinks. The taverns in Chang'an City were very familiar with each other. At the beginning, when they bought so much goods, the tavern owners even offered a preferential price, but Later, with the purchase of the top ten trucks every day, the owner of the tavern made money, but the stock of wine could not keep up, which also led to an increase in the purchase price of some small taverns.
