Traveling across the heavens starting from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 65 Returning to the Main World
Send Cui Yu away.

The newly established Shouchang Houfu welcomed the most noble princess of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest princess, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle.

Although Li Huaian only had two distinguished guests here, the Hou Mansion in Shouchang County can also be said to be full of distinguished guests. One represents the top aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty, and the other represents the top noble family in the Tang Dynasty. .

The royal family is also a line of nobles.

The emperor is the most noble person.

As the eldest daughter of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle was naturally one of the most noble nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Lizhi looked up at the plaque of the Shouchang Hou Mansion, took the congratulatory gift that had been prepared long ago from the hand of the maid Yue'er, and handed it to Li Huaian who came to greet him outside the house.

"Brother Huai'an, congratulations on becoming the Marquis of Datang County. This is a gift I specially prepared for you. It is not very expensive, but it is also my heart. After I open the palace and the princess palace is built, I will give it to you in the future. Brother Huai'an will make up for it."

"No, I'm talking about it. If I, the county prince, don't have Changle, I'll have to say whether I do or not."

Li Huaian smiled and reached out to take Li Lizhi's gift, a black fur cloak. The fur felt very soft.

"I like this cloak very much. I can wear it in winter. Thank you, Changle."

"Chang Le also remembers the first time he met Brother Huai'an. He saw that Brother Huai'an had a black cloak next to him, so he prepared such a black cloak. I hope Brother Huai'an likes it."

Li Lizhi smiled sweetly, feeling very happy.

"Young Master, you don't know. This cloak was made by His Highness himself. Every stitch and thread was sewn on by His Highness himself."

The maid Yue'er on the side opened her mouth to explain to her princess the rareness of this gift.

"Moon."

Li Lizhi glanced at the maid Yue'er, blaming her for talking too much.

When Li Huaian heard this, he liked the black fur cloak in his hand even more. How could he not feel cherished by having a princess of the Tang Dynasty personally make a big cloak for him.

The most important thing is that Li Lizhi is only 12 years old. In the modern society of the main world, this age is the stage for fun, freedom and learning.

"Changle made it himself, so I want to try it."

Done.

Li Huaian unfolded the cloak given by Li Lizhi in front of the mansion and put it on his body, feeling the warmth brought by the cloak on his body with a happy smile on his face.

"The prince wears the fur cloak given by the princess to show his nobility."

"Brother Huai'an fits well. I've always been worried that it would be too big or too small."

"Hahaha, walk into the house."

In the Nuan Pavilion where he had just finished talking with Cui Yu.

As soon as Li Huaian sat down, he told Li Lizhi about the coal chamber of commerce that he had just told Cui Yu.

"Changle, you came just in time. I have something I want to tell you."

"I want you to represent the royal family. I also invited the five surnames Qiwang, plus me, to form a chamber of commerce together to manage Datang's coal mining industry."

"what."

Before Li Lizhi had time to taste the various dried fruits and cakes arranged by Li Ruoqiu and her maid Taohua, she heard that Li Huaian had something to say. She was stunned for a moment, then immediately sat up straight in the chair and said seriously asked.

"Should I ask my father about the formation of the Chamber of Commerce? I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Brother Huai'an, should I tell my father in person?"

Li Huaian shook his head directly after hearing this.

"No, there's no need to bother the saint about this little thing. You are enough."

He had just taken a handful of Daxia Dragon Bird from Li Shimin. He had better not get it in front of Li Shimin unless necessary.

"Besides, the coal mines are not valuable now, and they don't cost much. The main thing is to borrow the royal family's name in the Tang Dynasty, and add the local advantages of Five Surnames and Seven Hopes."

"Generally, you don't need to be too involved in the management of the chamber of commerce. You can just wait for the dividends."

"That's it."

Li Lizhi thought for a while, and from a cognitive perspective, she felt that there would be no big problem in forming a coal mine chamber of commerce, and it would be fine without asking her father's opinion.

"Well, I just don't know what Brother Huai'an needs from me to form the Coal Mines Chamber of Commerce, and how much money he needs to pay."

Li Huaian briefly elaborated.

"It doesn't take much. The royal family only needs one to twenty thousand guan of silver. The bulk of the money will come from Qi Wang of the Five Surnames. If there is not enough, I will make up for it. Qi Wang of the Five Surnames accounts for [-]% of the share of the Coal Chamber of Commerce. The rest Sixty-and-a-half percent, the royal family accounts for [-] percent, and I account for [-] percent."

"Okay?"

Prior to this, he and Cui Yu had basically divided the issue of the shares of the three coal chambers of commerce during the discussion.

Most of the money required for the establishment of the Coal Industry Chamber of Commerce was also handled by Qi Wanglai of the fifth surname.
As for whether Qi Wang of the Five Surnames would be dissatisfied with the fact that the Seven Families only accounted for [-]% of the share of the Coal Chamber of Commerce, Li Huaian didn't care and didn't care. He could lead Qi Wang of the Five Surnames to make money in the Coal Chamber of Commerce. It's worthy of the five surnames and Qiwang.

It is natural for Qiwang, the fifth surname, to contribute some money in the early stage of the Coal Industry Chamber of Commerce.

What's more, the lifeblood of the fifth surname Qiwang is in his hands. As long as the lifeblood of the fifth surname Qiwang is knowledge, it will be controlled by him, without any room for negotiation.

Cui Yu did not raise any objections to these requirements, and was very satisfied with the share allocated to the five surnames and Qiwang by the coal industry chamber to be established in the future. Although it seemed unfair, if you think about it carefully, this is already a rare and precious fairness. .

Because when Li Huaian formed the Coal Industry Chamber of Commerce, he was willing to play with the five surnames and Qi Wang to give him this opportunity.

For Cui Yu, a child of a wealthy family like Wu surname Qi Wang, he has understood a truth since he was a child, that is, for something that is obviously profitable, the cost that needs to be paid is the last thing he cares about. What you should care about is whether there is an opportunity to participate. As long as there is an opportunity to participate, no matter how much you pay, it will not be a problem. All the efforts will be slowly recovered later.

This is the way for aristocratic families to survive, regardless of temporary gains and losses.

Another fundamental reason is that the coal mines in Datang are very cheap, so cheap that they are even cheaper than inferior fields. In the early stage, Wu Xing Qi Wang did not need to pay too much money, and the Coal Chamber of Commerce could acquire a large number of coal mines. .

Wait until coal mines become a hot commodity.

The Coal Chamber of Commerce, which holds a large number of coal mines, will have a steady stream of money coming into its account. When it acquires new coal mines, the Coal Chamber of Commerce can directly take the money from its account to purchase them, thus being responsible for its own profits and losses. There is no need for Wu Xing Qi Wang to make additional purchases. pay.

This is the reason why Cui Yu has always agreed with Li Huaian's arrangement for Wu and Qiwang in the Coal Chamber of Commerce.

"Ten thousand or twenty thousand silver coins?"

Li Lizhi evaluated it in her mind, looked at Li Huaian, and nodded.

"I can pause the construction of the Princess's Mansion first, and invest [-] to [-] silver coins from the cost of building the Princess's Mansion into the Coal Chamber of Commerce."

"This little money is going to be diverted from the cost of building the princess's mansion?"

Li Huaian was a little puzzled and expressed shock. Is the princess of the Tang Dynasty so poor?
"Well, one or two thousand guan, we really need to divert it from the cost of building the princess's mansion. The money I have saved is only a few hundred guan, which is not enough to fund the Coal Chamber of Commerce."

Li Lizhi frankly admitted the fact that she had no money.

Because it is not just that she, the princess, has no money, but that the entire Tang Dynasty court has no money. The treasury is in a state of lack of money all year round. As the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, she will often help her mother manage the palace's accounts, thus I also know that there is not much money in the royal family's private treasury. The queen mother also saves as much as she can on the daily expenses of managing the palace. When arranging the use of money, the queen mother will always make careful decisions. Seems extremely stretched.

She had accumulated these hundreds of dollars slowly over the years.Otherwise, she wouldn't even have these hundreds of coins.

It can be seen how poor the Tang royal family is now. Even the prince and princess don't have much money at their disposal.

but.

This actually made Li Huaian become interested in Li Lizhi's princess mansion.

"Changle, take me to your princess mansion later to take a look."

"Okay, but my princess mansion has not yet begun to show its scale. Only the outer courtyard wall has been built, and the inside has not been built yet. At most, some pillars have been erected."

Hearing that Li Huaian wanted to visit the Princess Mansion, Li Lizhi was very happy and agreed immediately. At the same time, she informed the Princess Mansion of the situation in advance so as not to feel regretful when she arrived.

Li Huaian didn't pay much attention, he was just curious to see Li Lizhi's princess mansion.

Anyway.

Wait until Li Shimin's imperial decree granting marriage comes down.

Li Lizhi was his woman according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

The Princess Mansion is roughly equivalent to Li Huaian's mansion. I would be uneasy if I didn't go and take a look.

In fact, it was mainly because I heard Wu Dayong say that Chang'an City was short of blue bricks and that green bricks were in short supply, so he wanted to see if Li Lizhi's Princess Mansion had enough materials to build the Princess Mansion.

For example, use mud bricks or something.

If it doesn't work, Li Huaian plans to stop the construction of the Princess Mansion first, and it won't be too late to build it together with his Shouchang Hou Mansion next year.

We agreed to go to the princess mansion for a while.

Li Huaian mentioned to Li Lizhi again about his food fiefdom, and wanted to borrow some people from the Princess Mansion for use, and send these people to the two food fiefdoms of Shoushan and Yuyan Mountain to supervise the mining of jade and bring them back.

Li Lizhi did not refuse.

She also said that Li Huaian was her future consort. After marriage, the husband and wife would become one and they could call people from the Princess Mansion at any time without having to discuss this with her.

It's just that while Li Lizhi agreed to Li Huaian's request for employment, he also expressed his dissatisfaction with the two food fiefs given by his father. If Li Huaian hadn't stopped Li Lizhi and explained the reason, he would have made Li Shimin sigh. As a saying goes, a girl is not good enough to stay. She is not married yet, so her elbows are pointed towards outsiders.

Of course.

In addition to telling Li Lizhi about the two food fiefdoms of Shoushan and Yuyanshan.

Li Huaian also talked about going to Yingqiu County (Changle County) to purchase gems and buying the origin of Balin stone. In addition to asking Li Lizhi to help with these two additional things, he also entrusted them to Cui Yu through Cui Yu. The five surnames Qi hope to help.

As for the purchase of the Balin stone origin, the decision was made only last night.

After returning yesterday, he checked the map of Datang and found that the origin of Balin Stone, Chifeng, was actually within the territory of Datang. This made him make the decision to buy the origin of Balin Stone.

As for Qingtian stone, the last of the four major seal stones.

Li Huaian didn't have any ideas.

However, Qingtian stone is the earliest seal stone used in ancient times. There has been a history of using Qingtian stone before the Qin Dynasty. In addition, the situation of Qingtian stone is similar to that of Yingqiu County (Channgle) sapphire, so it is impossible to buy the entire Qingtian County.

Li Huaian is most likely to buy the Qingtian stone production area in Qingtian, which is closed to the public. Other Qingtian stones can only be purchased locally like Yingqiu County (Channgle) sapphires.

Moreover, the purchase price of Qingtian Stone is higher than that of the other three seal stones, because the other three seal stones only appeared after the Tang Dynasty, and Tianhuang Stone did not become famous until the Qing Dynasty. There is a difference of 1000 year time difference.

Li Huaian can be obtained at a very small cost through time difference.

Only Qingtian Stone is an exception in Datang. It needs to be purchased according to the inherent price of Qingtian Stone in Datang.

To him, this Qingtian Stone is a dispensable thing.

When talking about these things with Li Lizhi.

Another idea came to Li Huaian's mind, which was to establish another chamber of commerce for gems and valuables in the Tang Dynasty based on Liuli Pavilion.

It's called Liulice Chamber of Commerce.

For now, there are only him and Li Lizhi in the Liulice Chamber of Commerce.

to be honest.

This Liulice Chamber of Commerce is his own private chamber of commerce organization. While selling goods brought from the main world in the Tang Dynasty world, it also helps him collect such things as Tianhuang, chicken bloodstone, and Qinanxiang in the Tang Dynasty world. This kind of goods are harmful to the main world. It is extremely rare and expensive.

After all the serious business has been said, there is basically nothing more serious to say.

The atmosphere in the Nuan Pavilion also began to become lively, and Li Lizhi also returned to the state of a little daughter. She kept staring at the various pastries in front of her, without glancing at the dried fruits that could be bought in Chang'an City. After the introduction, I tasted these pastries that I had never seen before, let alone eaten.

"Sister Ruoqiu, what is this soft pastry?"

"Princess, this is a pastry called cake that Lang Jun taught the cook in the house to make. It is very soft and sweet, and it is covered with a layer of cream. It is delicious."

"Well, it's really sweet. Yue'er, you should try it too."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Sister Ruoqiu, what kind of cake is this?"

"This is walnut cake, this is peach cake, this is donkey rolling, this is fried cake, this is thousand-layer cake, this is mung bean cake, this is red bean cake."

Listening to Li Ruoqiu introducing these incredible pastries, counting down, there are probably dozens or hundreds of varieties.

Li Lizhi turned to look at Li Huaian and made a request.

"Brother Huai'an, there are so many pastries, can I take some away later? I want to take some back to the palace for my father, mother, and brothers and sisters to taste."

Li Huaian smiled and said: "Why not? Changle's father, emperor, mother, and Changle's brothers and sisters are naturally my family. I will ask the kitchen to cook more for you later."

"Ah."

Li Lizhi tasted the pastries with satisfaction and couldn't help but suggest: "Sister Ruoqiu, brother Huai'an, there are so many pastries in the house, if we open a pastry shop in Chang'an City, it will definitely be very prosperous and make Chang'an City even more prosperous." The people tasted these delicious pastries.”

"Princess, you don't know. This time, apart from some of the pastries being the specialties of the mansion and not being shown to the outside world, some of them can actually be eaten outside, but you need to go to the Liulic Pavilion to taste them."

Li Ruoqiu explained for Li Lizhi.

"Of course, even in Liuli Pavilion, only silver level or above patrons can enjoy it in a private box."

Li Huaian interjected: "If Changle likes it, he can discuss opening a shop in Chang'an City with Ruoqiu. I didn't have the idea of ​​opening a pastry shop like this because it was too troublesome and I couldn't make much money. "

"If you like it, it doesn't hurt to open one."

"Really?"

"Of course, I'll just treat it as a fun thing for you."
