I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Hearing Wang Hongfu's words, Li Shen asked softly:

"Why, has anyone started to speak?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, several aristocratic families have found our shop, but they were very polite.

Wondering when we’ll be done with this.”

Wang Hongfu nodded.

Selling at half price like this will disrupt the market. It is inevitable that other companies will come to you for help. Raising the issue in a tactful way is already considered a good attitude on your part.

Or maybe the other party is being cautious because they don't know our background.

Otherwise, the aristocratic families would have suppressed it long ago.

"Well, this is indeed a problem. What we are selling has indeed disrupted the market, which is a bit unfair.

But this is the fastest and best way to deal with them.

This matter will not last long, and we have no intention of crushing the Langya Wang family.

I just want them to admit their mistakes.

Thus, you have people tell them that we won't be long, and that we can sell them cotton products at a low price for their losses.

Winter is coming soon, and there is no need for me to say much about the demand for cotton products.

Most of those merchants do not grow cotton and also purchase it from the northwest.

Only the aristocratic families planted large areas of crops in the northwest.

We give them a low price and they will be happy.”

This time, everything happened quite suddenly, so I didn't make any thorough preparations beforehand.

This is indeed not good for the market.

Li Shen has been creating a stable business environment and he cannot let himself destroy it.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid we don't have enough cotton. Although the cotton planting in Anxi Protectorate is increasing every year,

But it still cannot supply enough for the people across the country.

If we sell it to them, we will make much less money.”

When Wang Hongfu heard that Li Shen wanted to give up some cotton, he was somewhat reluctant.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if I earn less. Old Wang, Datang now has more than 4 million households and a population of more than 10 million.

It is difficult to supply all the people in the Tang Dynasty.

At present, we just need to try our best to satisfy the people in the north. This year, cotton sales will be tilted slightly towards Liaodong Road.

The prices are relatively low. Liaodong Road has been recuperating and the people are not very wealthy.

The winter there is cold, and we cannot allow too many casualties among the people there.

The drawings of the kang in the palace were also distributed to Liaodong Road in the form of newspapers.

You haven’t experienced how cold it is there. You have to use a stick to pee in winter.”

Wang Hongfu never questioned King Ji's orders. Only they knew how much King Ji cared about the country and the people.

"By the way, how are you doing with the Dashi matter?"

Li Shen suddenly remembered the matter of the Arab Empire.

“Your Highness, we are in the process of purchasing the Arab jewelry, but some people disagree with what we said.

They think we are deliberately suppressing the products of other countries.”

Wang Hongfu replied.

"Who cares? I am also willful and willful because of money. They can't control me. If they get desperate, I will punish everyone in the palace with the Western Regions.

If nothing goes wrong, just let Xixi go out for a walk and make them mad.

We do this and they don't listen. After a while, they have this concept.

The acquisition is not important; what is important is that people know about it.

Now we are starting to lower the price. We have bought so much and are looking for some merchants in the Western Regions to sell them at low prices.

This matter cannot be rushed, it is a slow process, we are not in a hurry."

Li Shen doesn't care about outside opinions at all. No one else will understand what he wants to do.

"Then should we ask Wang Changshi to cooperate in the newspaper?"

Wang Hongfu asked.

"This is not the right time yet. You can collect and publicize it first. In November, I will talk to those Arabs and lock them up for a while.

Isn't it said that trade winds only appear in November?"

"Yes, then I will go and do my work first."

Wang Hongfu bowed and walked out.

Li Shen lay on the recliner, looking at the sky and sighed:

"Ah~~~ Why are there more and more things happening?"

"It's the prince's burden that is getting heavier and heavier."

Wu Meiniang, who was massaging Li Shen's shoulders, said softly.

"Maybe you are right. I don't want to live like this."

Life is only a few decades long. You have finally achieved financial freedom, so why can't you just enjoy yourself?

“Your Majesty, although you don’t have any real power in the Tang Dynasty now, you are very powerful.

Because Your Majesty, you have money, you can do a lot of things.

If it were ordinary people, or nobles like you who are as rich as a country,

I'm afraid His Majesty has been wary of him for a long time, and it's possible that the prince's property has been confiscated by now.

But the prince is a prince and knows how to make choices. Your Majesty is still relatively confident in the prince for now.

The prince is favored by His Majesty, so of course he is powerful and influential, and no one dares to mess with him.

But the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and it was you who said this, Your Majesty."

Wu Meiniang was gifted and intelligent, and often saw things more profoundly than Li Shen.

It’s just that Wu Meiniang is smarter. She won’t say it out loud so as not to appear more powerful than the prince.

After hearing this, Li Shen grabbed Wu Meiniang's small hand and rubbed it.

"Mei Niang, you have been smart and talented since childhood. If you were placed in the palace, you might have achieved greater success.

Will you blame me for bringing you to the palace and only giving you a concubine?"

Whenever Li Shen thought about the fact that the woman next to him would become an empress, he would feel guilty for changing history.

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I have always been grateful to Your Majesty. In that deep palace,

It's not easy to get ahead.

If the prince had not taken me out of the palace, I would probably still be a talented woman, dying in depression within the palace walls."

Wu Meiniang gently leaned down and put her arms around Li Shen's neck.

In her opinion, there was one queen, four concubines, nine concubines, and twenty-seven ladies in the palace.

Let’s not talk about the eighty-one imperial wives, let’s just say that she was just the youngest talent among the twenty-seven concubines.

There are also beauties above, such as Jieyushi, Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong and Chongyuan.

She didn't even have the confidence to catch up with this group, not to mention the four concubines above them.

“If you really think so, I will be relieved.

Actually, there is nothing good in the deep palace. There is no freedom and I am alone. Look at my mother.

Now she is the most important person in the harem after the queen, but what can she do?

I have nothing to do in Daji Palace every day, which is why I always let the princess enter the palace.

If you follow me, at least you will be free, and you can go home to visit your mother-in-law and your sisters when you have nothing to do.

If you want to go out, you can take a carriage and go for a walk.

My mother hasn't left the palace for a long time. She can't even come out every year to pay respect to my grandfather.

In recent years, my uncles have been the ones to do the worship and cleaning."

Li Shen touched Wu Meiniang's face and began to brainwash her, but he was afraid that Wu Meiniang would get angry.

If I told her that she could become an empress in the future, would she castrate herself at night?

(I wrote this a little late, it really affects my mood. Bullshit, I have already prepared myself mentally.

But the preparation was still not sufficient. I can accept 2-0, but damn, how did they lose 5 goals in the second half?

7-0, I'm @##@@##@T^&&%$. I'm so ashamed. I'm crazy. Let's disband. ）
