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

Li Shen's strategy had a great impact. Just before the arrival of Yuan Zheng, many princes and noble families were filled with sorrow.

The sales of Prince Ji's cotton cloth caught them off guard.

Linen is of high quality, delicate and soft, and its thermal insulation effect is better than linen and raw silk.

This makes it impossible for them to sell at a low price, unless they lower the price to less than eighty cents.

But that would not necessarily be able to sell it, especially since the price of raw silk was 300 cents a piece, so there was no way to reduce it that much.

The people were happy, and the noble families were sad.

And our young prince Li Shen is busy giving gifts,

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness Prince Ji is here to deliver gifts, but..." The eunuch in charge of the East Palace came to report.

"But what?" Li Chengqian asked doubtfully.

"But it seems like there are a lot of gifts this year," the steward replied.

"A bit much? That's normal. Prince Ji is very generous. Someone came to inform the Crown Princess, saying that our Li family's God of Wealth has come to give a gift, haha."

Li Chengqian stood up laughing and walked towards the door.

Princess Su, who quickly received the news, followed Prince Li Chengqian to the gate of the East Palace.

As soon as I walked out, I was dumbfounded. The entrance to the imperial city was divided into two rows, and there were four-wheeled carriages from Prince Ji's Mansion.

It's so dense that you can't even see the end.

"I've met my eldest brother, I've met my sister-in-law." Li Shen saw Li Chengqian and Su stepping forward to salute.

"Tenth brother, what are you..." Li Chengqian asked in confusion.

"Giving gifts, they are all specialties from various places, jewelry from the Western Regions, and some food, everything you need." Li Shen introduced with a smile.

"You...are you doing too much?" Li Chengqian said helplessly.

"Brother, there are many people in your east palace, so of course you have to send more. Brother, why don't you open the side door and put it in the warehouse directly.

How long would it take to move boxes one by one? "Li Shen suggested.

It is indeed a bit far to move from the gate to the East Palace warehouse.

Li Chengqian ordered the manager:

"Take them through the side door and directly into the warehouse. Call more people to help. Don't waste King Ji's time."

"Come on, tenth brother, go in and have a seat."

After speaking, Li Chengqian took Li Shen into the East Palace.

The manager is leading the team around to the side door.

"Come here, open the box for inspection." The guard commander opened the door and gave the order.

"Wait a minute!" Shitou stood up and shouted.

"Mr. Li, what does this mean?"

Shitou was given the surname Li, so he was called Manager Li to the outside world.

"It's not interesting. My prince said these are fine things. They cannot be exposed to light and are easily damaged.

I'll open a few boxes for you to take a look at. "

After Shitou finished speaking, he opened the box on the carriage in front. Inside were some food, silk brocade and the like.

"Mr. Li, this is against the rules." The guard commander of the East Palace is Li Chongyi, Li Xiaogong's eldest son.

"Commander Li, can it be that my prince can still harm His Highness the Crown Prince? This is also the rule established by my prince. You might as well go and ask for permission." Shitou replied without changing his expression.

"What's going on?" At this moment, Crown Princess Su came over and said,

She waited for a while in the warehouse to see if the carriage was coming, so she came over to take a look.

She needs to keep a record of the gifts so that they can be easily managed.

"Slave, please see the Crown Princess."

"See Crown Princess."

"Prince Princess, according to the rules, everything entering the East Palace needs to be inspected. Manager Li does not want to be inspected." Li Chongyi reported truthfully.

"Really?" Su looked at Shi Shi in confusion.

"Prince Princess, my prince has ordered that there are some precious things in here. Some things cannot see the wind, and some things are afraid of light.

Inspecting it here may damage some precious things inside, so the prince ordered not to open the box.

After it is put into the warehouse, the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness can personally inspect it. Shitou lowered his head and explained to Crown Princess Su.

"Well, since it was the tenth brother who told me, it must be correct. Commander Li, don't worry, just keep an eye on the personnel." The Crown Princess nodded. He believed that King Ji would not do anything stupid and there was no need.

"Princess, this is against the rules." Li Chongyi emphasized again.

"It doesn't matter. I will personally discuss this matter with His Highness the Crown Prince later. It has nothing to do with you." The Crown Princess waved her hand.

After hearing this, Li Chongyi had no choice but to send someone to watch the coachman and other people coming in.

When we arrived at the door of the East Palace warehouse, the unpacked items in front of us were light enough that two or three people could carry them away.

But the boxes on the carriage behind were indeed very heavy. There were four boxes in one carriage, and each box required six people to carry it in.

The Crown Princess could only ask the housekeeper to summon more people, and even the guards were dispatched, otherwise it would take a long time before the work could be completed.

Li Shen followed Li Chengqian to the front hall.

"Here comes some tea." Li Chengqian ordered.

"Tenth brother, you have too many gifts now. If Aye knows about it, I don't know what to say to you." Li Chengqian said to Li Shen again.

"What are you talking about me? I give a lot of gifts to the palace every year. All the rare treasures in Aye's possessions are from me.

Aye took everything he paid as tribute as a reward. "Li Shen was a little disdainful when he mentioned his stingy father.

"Haha, who can you blame? Who made you the God of Wealth of our Li family? The things you gave are better than the tributes, how could Aye fall in love with you?" Li Chengqian laughed loudly after hearing this.

His father and his younger brother are enemies. His father wants to exploit his younger brother, and his younger brother wants to cheat his father.

Li Shen curled his lips and took a sip of the tea handed over by his servant.

"Eh~~~" Li Shen let out a sigh, and then took another sip.

"Brother, this is not the tea I gave you. It tastes weird."

"What do you think? I think the tea tastes better than yours, and it has a refreshing effect.

I was tired from reviewing memorials at night, so I felt energetic immediately after having a drink. "Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Really?" Li Shen didn't believe it and took a few more sips.

"Well, it's indeed not bad. My head is much clearer. This is good stuff. I wonder where I got it from."

After Li Shen took a few sips, he really felt energetic, which was indeed good.

"Haha, this is a good thing. It was donated by Helan Chushi, an official of the East Palace. I heard that it was obtained from the eminent monks in the Western Regions." Li Chengqian knew from the look on Li Shen's face that this little money-lover was starting to think wrongly. .

"The Western Region? It's a bit far away. Brother, do you still have some? Give me some. I'll go back and let people think about it. If we can develop a production method, then we will distribute it. Then we will count it as a bonus to my brother."

Li Shen's eyes gleamed, as if he saw mountains of gold and silver.
