The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 523 Lipsticks show charm, make a contract, I want to cover with a jade seal!
"Ma'am, what's the matter? Just say it!"

Li Min asked curiously.

What does Empress Changsun want to ask?
"that……"

"Sister, you said it, I made you anxious too!"

Concubine Yang also said anxiously on the side.

"that……"

It seems that this matter made Empress Changsun a little hard to say.

"Whatever you need, just say, here are all our own people. There is no need to be too polite!"

Li Min said.

When Ji Ruxue heard that they were all her own, she was overjoyed.

It turned out that Li Yin had long regarded himself as one of his own.Even in front of his mother and aunt, he said so.

She also wanted to wait until the day when Li Yin married them.

Regarding the four girls, it is difficult for Li Yin to choose who will be the first.

Maybe he will marry all of them.

"Actually, I want to take a few banknotes back to show His Majesty. It's best to have all kinds!"

Only then did Concubine Yang know that this was the case.

Even if they were together, she didn't know what Empress Changsun was thinking.

Li Yin fainted, what's the matter, isn't it just a few banknotes?

But Empress Changsun didn't think so.

Because, this is the feeling of asking Li Yin for money.

Paper money has value.

"Isn't it just banknotes, Ruxue, go and get all the banknotes, one of each kind! Also, bring that thing over."

"understand!"

"By the way, bring some of that mask and lipstick too. Mother and aunt should have run out."

"Ok?"

The two were puzzled.

The mask is easy to understand, but what is the lipstick?
But once things come out of Li Yin, they won't be bad.

As for what the lipstick was, the two had to wait until the item arrived before asking.

"Understood, I'll have someone prepare it, and I'll prepare the banknotes first! Since the mask and lipstick are not here, they will be delivered later."

Ji Ruxue said.

Li Yin nodded to signal her to prepare.

Then, he entertained two more.

"Come, come, sit down!"

The two sat down again.

After a while, Ji Ruxue brought some banknotes.

She put it on the table.

And also put a black lump.

Li Yin picked up the money and said, "This is 1 tael, this is 5 taels...this is 10000 taels! All together, the total is 11116 taels!"

The two took the banknotes, looked at them carefully, and then exclaimed.

"It turns out that the banknotes are like this. They are really exquisite."

Queen Changsun said.

"That's right, the engraving on this is... a tenement house! It's so lifelike! Whoever can draw the pictures on this banknote must be a master!"

Concubine Yang followed suit.

The pattern on it is very obvious, and it is still protruding, which is not something that can be achieved with current technology.

Li Yin just smiled.

For him, it was simply too simple.

Ji Ruxue opened her mouth.

"You two, these are all painted by Mr. Zili! They were not painted by others! Then, a master engraver was invited to make them."

"Huh? Seriously?"

"Son, what else do you not know?"

The two were completely shocked.

"It's not important, I'll put the money here for you to take back! Maybe it can be more convincing."

Li Yin picked up the black block, opened it, and there were folds inside.

"This is?"

"This is a wallet! It can be used to store banknotes, so as to prevent the banknotes from being sweated or rained or even excessively wrinkled on the body, making the printing unclear. With this wallet, you can protect the banknotes!"

After Li Yin finished speaking, he put the money in his wallet.

With money, without a wallet, it is unreasonable.

Although in the future, the role of the wallet is no longer to hold money, and not many people will show up with cash in future generations.

But in ancient times, it was still very necessary.

He handed the wallet to Empress Changsun.

When she saw it, she was amazed again.

"Min'er, you really have a heart. This is indeed a good way!"

"Mr. Zili, the things have been delivered!"

Then, Ji Ruxue said.

"Let it go!"

Li Yin signaled everyone to put the things down.

That was a hundred boxes of facial masks and a dozen sticks of lipstick.

"Is this lipstick?"

Empress Changsun didn't care about the mask, she was just happy to see it, and then used it again.

She cares more about lipstick.

"This is usually called lip balm, but in my case, it is called lipstick. It can be applied directly on the lips. And once it is applied, it is not easy to fall off. After applying it, it is more convenient and the lips are more attractive!"

Lipstick in ancient times was called lipstick.In ancient times, it was also called "lip balm". Before the appearance of tubular lipstick, lip balm was actually the same as rouge. It was packed in a small box or a small jar, and it was directly dipped and applied with fingers.

Li Yin is well aware of this, so after researching the mask, he added lipstick, and then invented things like BB cream eyeliner.

This will be a blessing for women in this era.

As soon as Li Yin finished speaking, the two women fell completely.

Especially what he said above is even more tempting.

Concubine Yang said first: "Has anyone used it before!?"

Li Yin pointed to Ji Ruxue's lips and said, "Ruxue uses this lipstick, what do you think?"

"Miaomiaomiao! It really is for seductiveness! Just now I thought how this child Ruxue has such good energy and blood, so she has lipstick!"

Empress Changsun said.

"Then how to use this?"

Concubine Yang continued to ask.

"Ru Xue, I'll leave it to you! Teach them!"

Ji Ruxue took the order.

"Understood, Mr. Zili!"

And Li Yin went to the side, and Ji Ruxue got along with the two of them.

The laughter of the three women resounded throughout the Shengtang Group.

This continued until the afternoon, when Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang reluctantly left.

As soon as they leave.

Ji Ruxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For these two women, too long of her time was wasted.

"Mr. Zili, do you think His Majesty will agree to join Shengtang Bank?"

Ji Ruxue asked curiously.

"Yes, he will definitely. Now those who have the skills are all powerful. If he doesn't cooperate with me, he can only watch me make money, but he can't make a penny. This will make him very angry. Discomfort!"

"But what if he is against you?"

"He dare not!"

"Why? Because he is your father?"

"No! That's not the case. I know him best. The Shengtang Group has existed in Chang'an City, and even the entire Tang Dynasty, and has a good reputation. I haven't done anything particularly excessive. What can he do to me? And I am also for Datang, every item produced by our Shengtang Group is shocking, for the future, he dare not, and there is no need. Moreover, he will send people to strengthen our protection!"

"I hope it is as you said!"

"Don't hope, that's it. Tomorrow at the latest, he will definitely send someone to sign the contract. You will know then!"

"so?"

"Alright, I still have work to do!"

"Understood, then I'll go down first! Call me anytime you need it!"

After Li Yin nodded, he plunged into his laboratory.

He started his research again.

As for Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang, it was already dusk when they arrived at Tai Chi Palace.

As soon as the two entered the palace, they bumped into Li Shimin.

"My concubine greets His Majesty!"

The two saluted Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin saw the two, he was about to say something, but when he saw their faces, he was a little surprised.

"you……"

Empress Changsun asked: "Your Majesty, what about my concubine?"

"Yeah, what about us? What's wrong?"

Concubine Yang was also anxious.

"Today is very moving!"

Li Shimin only said one sentence.

The two smiled at each other.

"Your Majesty, what do you think we are different?"

"This, I can't see it. I just think you look good!"

"After my sister and I went to the Shengtang Group, Min'er gave us some facial masks, and we took care of him there. Then, he gave us some lipstick, something to put on our mouths."

Concubine Yang took out the lipstick, and demonstrated the appearance of the lipstick.

Li Shimin suddenly realized.

"So that's the case. No wonder I always feel that there is something different about the two of you. It turns out to be lipstick!"

As soon as these words came out, the two were very happy.

It seems that Li Yin did not lie to the two of them.

"We also feel much more beautiful!"

Li Shimin stared at the two for a long time.

"You two go to bed tonight!"

As soon as these words came out, the two were a little surprised.

two together?
Maybe they are too touching.

But it would be great to have the emperor's presence.

Therefore, because of the lipstick, the entire palace was blown up.

In the next period of time, Li Shimin's harem concubines scrambled to find Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang, and stayed behind for various reasons. Together with the two, their real purpose was to make an excuse for their popularity.

But because the status of the two is quite high, they can only insinuate and dare not speak out.

In just a few days, the news about the lipstick spread out of the palace, and there were rumors about the lipstick in the entire Chang'an City, which made the city full of wind and rain.

This is a funeral matter, let's talk about it as soon as Li Shimin has finished speaking.

Suddenly remembered one thing.

"By the way, how did that go?"

he asks.

"Your Majesty, Min'er has made several requests, all of which are on this paper! Please read it over!"

Empress Changsun took out a piece of paper from her bosom and said.

"Oh? Let me see!"

Li Shimin took the paper and looked at it.

The more he looked at it, the worse his complexion became.

Finally, he ruthlessly threw the paper to the ground!
"You son of a bitch! I'm so mad! What's wrong with me? Is he going to eat me?"

It seems that everything written on this paper made Li Shimin very embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, this concubine thinks what Min'er said makes sense. And he is your own son! In the future, the Shengtang Group may also be owned by the imperial court, and the money will only be placed with him temporarily."

Queen Changsun said.

As for Concubine Yang, she said: "Your Majesty, Miner also said that more than [-]% of the money he earns will be invested in research, whether it is medicine or other industries, he will invest in it to revitalize the economy of the Tang Dynasty! This kind of behavior, I am afraid that no one among the many princes would do it? And in ancient times, no one could love Datang like him!"

As soon as the two women spoke, Li Shimin's anger subsided a little.

Their persuasion was very useful.

This is why Li Yin gave them lipstick and facial masks.

Because, cannibals have soft mouths and short hands.

The two owe Li Yin too much favor.

Concubine Yang is fine, but Empress Changsun is a little bit sorry.

And they also want to promote this merger, which will be of great benefit to Datang.

It may not necessarily reduce the hatred between father and son.

Empress Changsun saw that Li Shimin didn't speak.

Then he took out his wallet from his pocket.

"Look, Your Majesty!"

She handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't understand what it was.

Open it up and take a look.

Immediately shocked.

"What is this?"

"This is a wallet, and what's in it is money. It's something I came up with, and it's said to protect the banknotes from damage."

"This wallet is really beautiful, and the printing of these banknotes is even more exquisite."

Li Shimin appreciated it.

"Yeah, I'm afraid no one can print exactly the same banknotes."

Empress Changsun said.

Speaking of this, Concubine Yang remembered something.

"By the way, I heard that there are counterfeit banknotes among the people. I heard from Min'er that if we can use the legislative process to deal with them, we will be able to clean up some counterfeit existence and give the common people an explanation. And, according to my concubine's You know, the den of the counterfeit banknotes is in the aristocratic family."

There is something in Concubine Yang's words.

Li Shimin already understood.

He thought about it.

Finally picked up the paper again and read it again.

After a long time, he seemed to react from his thinking.

Then, he said slowly: "Let Wei Zheng enter the palace! Draw up the contract, and I will stamp the jade seal! At dawn tomorrow, go directly to the Shengtang Group to sign the contract, and let the Ministry of Households prepare [-] million taels Silver! Directly inject capital into Shengtang Bank. Finally, order ten officials to enter the bank and exercise the power of supervision!"

As soon as this remark came out, the two women were overjoyed.

So, Li Shimin is about to sign.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The two said in unison.

"You wait for me in the bedroom! I'll come after I'm done!"

Finally, Li Shimin said.

Empress Changsun said, "Your Majesty, don't worry! Your business is important!"

"I'll be fine soon, you two wait for me!"

Li Shimin said.

Then he said, "By the way, I have taken this wallet."

Unexpectedly, he fell in love with this wallet.

The two women couldn't say anything.

As for the money in the wallet, it was directly given to Li Shimin.

At that time, when Li Yin gave the two girls money, he thought of such a scene.

To Li Yin, this money is nothing more than a few pieces of paper.And Li Shimin couldn't spend the money with Li Shimin, because the emperor didn't need to spend money.

"What? Don't want to?"

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Li Shimin asked.

"No, no, His Majesty likes it, just take it away!"

Empress Changsun said immediately.

"Okay, sister, let's go in first, Your Majesty still has something to deal with!"

"Alright, Your Majesty, let's take our leave first!"

"Go!"

The two entered the palace.

As for Li Shimin, he was busy until the early hours of the night before completing all the arrangements.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he remembered something again.

Then he asked the guard: "The last time I asked you to investigate, how is the progress now?"

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has been staying in the tenement building for a while, and rarely sees him. Our inspection was forced to stop!"

"Is that so, then let's forget about it, don't investigate!"

Li Shimin said.

He knew that if the investigation continued, there would be results, but this result might not be a good thing for Li Yin.

Now I want to cooperate with Li Yin to open a bank.

Of course, you can't check too tightly.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be changes.

Some people die as soon as they die, which is of no use anyway. On the contrary, if they don't die, they will prevent the progress of history.

Moreover, as a father, this may be regarded as a selfishness.

And to check before, it was also curiosity, and now that curiosity no longer exists.

"Okay, let's end this matter like this, and send more people to protect Li Yin in the future!"

"But, Your Majesty, we now have 300 people hiding around Shengtang Group!"

The guard said so.

"Is there 300 people? Let's add another hundred!"

Li Shimin may have forgotten that since Li Yin was in danger that time, Xue Rengui always wanted to go back and said he wanted to protect Li Yin.

In the end, he made Xue Rengui feel at ease in the palace at the cost of 300 people.

Otherwise, Xue Rengui, who finally got it, might have to go back to Shengtang Group again.

If that's the case, there's nowhere to save my face.

"Yes!"

The guard knew that it would be useless to say any more, so it should be.

Finally, Li Shimin looked at Tianhou.

murmured:
"Unknowingly, it's already so late! I hope tomorrow will be a good day!"

He didn't know that the next day, at dawn, Hou Junji broke into the palace directly.

He said he wanted to see Li Shimin.

He also held a newspaper in his hand.

The whole person is like someone owes her several million taels.

"Your Majesty, please take care of it!"

Li Shimin was very upset when he was woken up!
Concubine Yang and Empress Changsun were also woken up!

"His Majesty……"

"You guys rest for a while, I'll go and have a look!"

Li Shimin got up, someone waited for him to get dressed.

He went outside.

Hou Junji waited anxiously there.

When he saw Li Shimin coming out, he became excited.

Newspaper in hand!

"Your Majesty, I have something urgent to report!"

Li Shimin yawned. He slept so late yesterday and was woken up early this morning, which made him very upset!

"What's the matter? Can't wait until morning to report?"

Hou Junji immediately said: "This matter is very urgent. If it is not stopped in time, it may have a huge impact on Datang!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he half woke up!
"Say!"

"The sixth prince is really bold! He dared to directly say in the newspaper that the imperial court wants to take a stake in Shengtang Bank! Doesn't he think highly of himself? Your Majesty, read the newspaper!"

Li Shimin took the newspaper and read it. An article was written about the imperial court's investment in the bank!
Hou Junji went on to say:
"I ordered people to go and see, but Wei Zheng was there, speaking for him!"

When Li Shimin heard this, did Wei Zheng go there last night?Or did Li Yin know everything in advance!
How did he know that this is Li Yin's guess, there is a future that can be checked, if you don't prepare in advance, you will miss the opportunity!

In Li Shimin's opinion, Wei Zheng must have gone early!

Before Hou Junji finished speaking, he said, "Your Majesty, this matter must be taken care of!"

Li Shimin ignored him.

"His Majesty!"

"All right!"

Hou Junji was puzzled, what's wrong?
"This……"

"Don't say any more!"

"Your Majesty, this is a serious matter, why don't you let me talk about it!"

"About buying shares, that's what I mean!"

"Ah! Why didn't the minister know?"

"Do I need to let you know in advance about my decision?"

Li Shimin asked back.

Hou Junji was startled, Li Shimin seemed a little scary today.

He said hastily:
"No no no! I didn't mean that!"

Hou Junji originally wanted to mess with Li Min, but now it seems that he can't do it!

"Okay, back off!"

"But……"

"Ok?"

"Yes!"

Hou Junji was about to go out when Li Shimin suddenly remembered something.

"return!"

"Your Majesty, is there anything else I need to do?"

"You have also read about the banknotes. Now there are many counterfeit currency. I have a manuscript here. You should study it carefully and work with the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to establish a banking law! This, the first case will be filed tomorrow!"

At this time, the Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment was Li Daozong.

Li Daozong (602-653), courtesy name Chengfan, was born in Chengji, Longxi.The clan and important generals in the early Tang Dynasty, great-grandson of Emperor Taizu Li Hu, grandson of Li Zhang, governor of Liangzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, son of Li Shao, king of Dongping (posthumous title), nephew of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuantang.

"what!?"

"What? Can't you? If you can't, then I will let Wei Zheng handle this matter instead of you!"

Hou Junji is the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and he should handle the legislative matter. If he can't handle it, Li Shimin may replace him.

How dare he say no?
"Yes! I understand!"

Then Li Shimin threw the paper he got from Li Yin yesterday to Hou Junji.

"Remember, this piece of paper must not be lost, otherwise ten heads will not be enough!"

"Yes!"

Hou Junji didn't understand why this piece of paper was so important.

He glanced at it, and when he saw the handwriting on the paper, it wasn't Li Yin's.

The handwriting is beautiful, more like what a woman did.

He immediately thought of Empress Changsun, but it was actually written by Ji Ruxue.

"The handwriting of this manuscript is beautiful and beautiful, it must be done by Her Royal Highness! Her Highness is really powerful, and it is admirable that she can have such a theory!"

Empress Zhangsun who was behind was a little ashamed when she heard this.

This is the credit of Li Yin.

As for the handwriting, it was Ji Ruxue's handwriting.

"You old boy is very good at flattering! But let me tell you, this word was not written by the queen!"

Li Shimin didn't know who wrote it.

Hou Junji was a little embarrassed.

I wanted to flatter, but now I can't.

"The minister has little talent and little learning!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense! Go down!"

Hou Junji then withdrew.

Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang came out from inside.

Li Shimin asked curiously: "Queen, who wrote that word!?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it was written by Ji Ruxue!"

Empress Changsun said.

Li Shimin was shocked.

"It's her! She really is a talented woman for a generation!"

Concubine Yang said again: "Not only is she a talented woman, but she can be the only one in the Shengtang Group, and she is deeply loved by my son! And she can know everything!"

The more she said that, the more Li Shimin wanted to get Ji Ruxue.

No woman has ever been able to deny herself.

Even Ji Ruxue is the same.

So, he thought again.

He must get Ji Ruxue.

"I see……"

Li Shimin muttered.

"Your Majesty, what about you?"

Queen Changsun asked.

"It's okay, I have to go to the imperial study room first!"

After that, Li Shimin left the two of them, and that afternoon, a large amount of silver was shipped to Shengtang Group.

At the same time, a contract was signed with Shengtang Bank.

Then, in the days to come, Shengtang Bank will spread all over the entire Tang Dynasty!
