Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen didn't expect that Lu Dingniang would mention this matter, and he didn't expect that it was his mother who ordered it.

This is somewhat embarrassing. Li Shen really likes Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Ruyan. They have been trained to please men since they were young.

With a charm that no one else had, Li Shen actually thought about taking a concubine, but he was too embarrassed to tell Lu Dingniang.

Because of his identity and status, his father paid so much attention to him that it was impossible for him to marry two brothel girls as concubines.

But today Lu Dingniang said it was his mother's wish, so Li Shimin should have agreed to this.

"Lang Jun, the mother-in-law wants you to take them both in so that you can expand the business of the palace.

I wonder what Mr. Lang thinks? Lu Dingniang asked.

This is the idea of ​​​​feudal society, and the idea of ​​three wives and four concubines for men has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

What's more, what is Li Shen's status? He is a dignified prince and a prince. Lu Dingniang has long been mentally prepared that Li Shen will have many concubines.

In ancient times, as a noble, you would be ridiculed if your family was not prosperous.

Li Shen felt a little embarrassed when Lu Dingniang asked.

"Um...that is entirely up to my wife's arrangement, but they usually still have to go to heaven and earth to take care of things.

And if you and Mei Niang want to do something, I will definitely support you.

I don't want you to be bored in the palace every day. You will easily get sick from boredom. "

Here, Lan Yu'er is a female official who has to manage the palace's back house every day. There is a lot of work in the huge palace's back house every day.

Although Lan Yu'er doesn't take care of things much now, she will still do it in the future.

Chunxiang Dongmei has always been by Li Shen's side, and they will follow Li Shen wherever he goes.

Only Lu Dingniang and Wu Meiniang have no positions.

After hearing Li Shen's words, Lu Dingniang knew that Li Shen agreed, so she nodded.

She will arrange this.

As for doing some things, she is a quiet person who doesn't like to move. It is her responsibility to care for her husband and raise her children.

After the matter was discussed, everyone dispersed. That night, Li Shen bent his bow and shot at the big eagle, killing two eagles with one stone.

When Li Shen got up the next day, he washed up and felt refreshed after doing a set of boxing in the yard.

"Come here, go and fetch Wang Hongfu."

After the punch, Li Shen wiped his face with a handkerchief and ordered his servants.

He needs to discuss the cotton issue with Wang Hongfu today.

Soon Wang Hongfu came in a hurry,

"Sit down, I came to you today to discuss something with you." Li Shen came to the study and drank a cup of herbal tea and said.

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" Wang Hongfu asked.

"Yesterday, I heard Mei Niang say that our warehouse has been filled with cotton cloth, and shipments are still coming from the northwest.

So I came to you today to discuss the sale of cotton cloth. "Li Shen sorted out his thoughts.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we now have hundreds of thousands of cotton cloths and more than ten thousand pieces of cotton.

Because cotton is more profitable than chestnuts, many princes and nobles went to the northwest last year to plant cotton on a large scale there.

There were tens of thousands of people sent to farm alone.

Moreover, the governor there only rented land and did not sell it according to the prince's wishes. Although the rent was small, it was paid every year.

It also gave the local government money to build bridges and pave roads. "

The person in charge of the northwest area is Wang Hongfu's cousin Wang Wencheng. Wang Wencheng will often report on the local situation.

"This will at least bring wealth to the local people. They are remnants. It will take a long time to assimilate them.

It allows them to live a good life and reduces their rebelliousness.

Later, you go and build a college there, so that the children there can learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty, but don’t force it, and keep their own unique culture and language. "

Li Shen was very satisfied with this.

"It's the prince. The princes and nobles also hired many local people to help grow cotton. Because of the confession from our prince,

The wages paid by the princes and nobles are similar to ours, and some are even higher than ours.

They have also made a lot of money in the past two years. Now each family has at least one thousand acres.

For example, the Zhao Guogong Mansion planted tens of thousands of acres. "

"Well, this is a good thing. Cotton is a good thing. By the way, what is the price of cloth outside now?" Li Shen nodded.

"Back to your lord, silk is now 150 yuan per piece in the Western Market, and linen is 100 yuan per piece. Silk is a bit more expensive, depending on the material and workmanship, but they are all above the usual price."

As the chief commercial manager of Prince Ji's Mansion, all these things can be done by just opening one's mouth.

“We can’t compare to silk or cotton, and cotton is mainly low-end.

I'll tell you the truth, I don't plan to make too much money from cotton.

I hope that the people can wear cotton clothes. As you know, cotton keeps warm. Every winter, people freeze to death.

I always feel uncomfortable after hearing this, so we need to increase the promotion of cotton to reduce the price of cotton.

Let the people of Tang Dynasty wear cotton-padded clothes and cover themselves with quilts in winter. "Li Shen said it very sincerely.

"Your Majesty is so righteous." Wang Hongfu flattered him in a timely manner.

“However, I want to do something else before selling.

You ask the palace to go to the caravans in the Western Regions to buy linen and silk, as much as you need, the more, the more.

We accept all silks up to one hundred and eighty cents, and linen up to one hundred and thirty cents.

Especially the aristocratic nobles, princes and nobles who specialize in selling these two things.

Many places in the Western Regions are hot all year round, so they like my silk and linen from the Tang Dynasty very much.

Remember to look for caravans whose identity has not been exposed. Find a few more. I will increase the price of silk.

Move quickly, don't give them a chance to react, and accept some of the small households below, but let the noble families see their determination. "

Wang Hongfu asked excitedly after hearing this:

"Is the prince planning to kill aristocratic families?"

"That's right. Didn't they impeach the king not long ago and also disband the king's guard camp?

This king is not a person who holds grudges. If you have any grudges, you must avenge them immediately, otherwise you will not be able to remember them.

If there are princes and nobles involved, don’t stop it. This is God’s arrangement.

After all the spot goods in Chang'an City were collected, the silk and linen were carried to 200 and 150 coins for purchase.

When they all arrive in large quantities, you will notify me. "

Li Shen already had a plan in mind. Originally, he was thinking of using other methods to retaliate, but this time the cotton cloth was going to be sold, so he had to teach them a lesson.

Let everyone who targets him suffer some loss. Thinking of this, Li Shen suddenly said:

"By the way, you send people to contact the businessmen in Prince Jin's Mansion to drag them into trouble, but don't make it too obvious.

That Lao Jiu is very smart and can give them a higher price in private. Let them buy in bulk from other channels. "

"It's the prince. I must do this neatly and neatly so that no one will notice that it has anything to do with Prince Ji's Mansion."
