Master, Baiqisi
Li Chengqian still has some ideas about those craftsmen.
If he wanted to establish himself in Tuyuhun, craftsmen were indispensable.
However, he also knows that there is no need to rush. Although it is a good way to use force to suppress others, he is really not used to it. For him, using force to suppress people is not as good as using advantage to seduce people.
Of course, as time goes by, it's hard to say what he will choose in the future.
I ignored the craftsmen's business for the time being, and when I returned to the study, Chunhua and the others had already made a pair of gloves.
Not to mention, even though it was the first time I did it, it looked pretty good, at least it looked no worse than the later ones.
It can only be said that the embroidery workers of this era are indeed not comparable to those of later generations.
Perhaps, an era always has its own characteristics.
"Sir, Miss Changle's gloves are ready." Seeing Li Chengqian walking in with Changle in hand, Chunhua immediately handed over the gloves.
Li Chengqian smiled and felt happy when he saw Chang Le staring at the gloves with almost gleaming eyes.
Changle had not smiled much since leaving Chang'an, which made Li Chengqian very worried.
However, he has never regretted bringing Changle out. In his opinion, the more Changle is like this, the more he should not stay in the palace. Look, a good young girl is stunned by that person in the palace.
What does the teaching look like?
"Do you like it?" Li Chengqian took the gloves and deliberately teased Chang Le.
Changle smiled shyly and said in a low voice, "I like it."
She really liked it, the snow-white gloves were fluffy, and there were two furry little balls on them. Even though she was born into a royal family, she had never seen such a thing before.
Children are like this, they are full of curiosity about all new things, even princesses are no exception.
Seeing that she was smiling happily, Li Chengqian stopped teasing her. He knelt down and put both gloves on her hands one by one.
"I will wear it when I go out from now on."
"No." Changle shook his head and said, "I want to wear it all the time."
"Silly boy." Li Chengqian stood up and rubbed Chang Le's head without correcting her.
Any novelty will always be fresh for a while.
Changle ignored her and waved his two small fists, tossing the two furry balls, not to mention how cute they were.
If every day of his life was like this moment, Li Chengqian thought it would be fine.
But life will not go as he wants after all.
Not long after he returned to the study, Zhao Yan walked in.
"Have you heard everything clearly?" Li Chengqian asked when Zhao Yan came in.
"I figured it out." Zhao Yan said, "We have a brother who is from Jingyang. It doesn't take much effort to find out."
Li Chengqian nodded. He didn't care about the process, what he wanted was the result.
"The largest businessman in Jingyang was named Yang Lin. During his great-grandfather's time, he was a famous merchant in Jingyang. After several generations of development, the business has grown bigger and bigger.
However, ever since Cui Mingyuan came to serve as the county magistrate of Jingyang, not to mention Jingyang, even Guanzhong has suffered from natural disasters for many years. Only then did the Cui family gain a firm foothold in Jingyang with Cui Mingyuan's convenience.
However, I heard that the Cui family is very ruthless. Almost all the businesses that the Yang family used to control have been snatched away by the Cui family. In the past two years, the Yang family has been having a hard time. There are only a few shops left in the family to barely support it.
"
Li Chengqian habitually pinched his lips with his hands. This was a habit he had developed before time travel. As soon as he started to use his brain, he would do this subconsciously.
He was not surprised by the Yang family's situation.
Since ancient times, conflicts between foreign forces and local forces have almost become a routine. Is this so strange?
What really surprised him was that a Jingyang merchant could withstand the attack of such a behemoth as the Cui family.
You know, at first, he thought that even if the merchants in Jingyang were not living in dire straits, it was definitely not just a hard life as Zhao Yan said.
"Are there any other merchants?" Li Chengqian asked.
Zhao Yan said: "There are a few, but the lives of those few are far behind. I heard that the shops have been taken over by the Cui family, and now they live off the family's fields."
That’s right!
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Well, see if you can call that Yang Lin. If he doesn't come, tell him that we have big business to discuss with him and ask him if he wants to recreate the ancestral business."
Glory. By the way, if you call those unlucky merchants, we can't put all our eggs in one basket.
After all, Jingyang is not our Jingyang."
"When?" Zhao Yan asked.
Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "Just tonight. By the way, doesn't the Cui family prohibit the sale of small batches of grain? You can organize some people to buy it every day.
No matter how many, go every day and don’t argue with them.”
After receiving Li Chengqian's arrangement, Zhao Yan resigned.
He wouldn't ask Li Chengqian what he wanted to do. Although it sounded a little confused, it had nothing to do with him.
After Zhao Yan left, Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly.
This is interesting. From the looks of it, there are experts in the Yang family.
Otherwise, why should he compete with a wealthy scholar family like the Cui family?
This is like the financial oligarchs of later generations who arrived in an inconspicuous town and were unable to deal with a rich man in the town. Moreover, there is a deep background behind this financial oligarch.
This is not scientific!
…
At the same time, Chang'an City and Taiji Palace.
Li Er was listening to the report from the chamberlain.
"Dozens of fast horses came out of the Golden Light Gate?"
Muttering, Li Er frowned and asked, "Can we find out what they want during this trip?"
"Some spies said they were going to Western Turks and Tuguhun to deliver a message to Ashina Eli and Murong Fuyun." The chamberlain said in a low voice.
"What do you believe?" After hearing this, Li Er actually had an answer.
The chamberlain possessed him and whispered a few words into Li Er's ear, and Li Er stood up immediately.
"Bastard!" As he said this, Li Er slapped the table with a heavy slap, "Whose family is that?"
After speaking, Li waved his hand, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs bowed and walked out.
Only then did Li Er look at the waiter.
The chamberlain also looked bitter and said, "It should be Prince Yan's Mansion."
"Is it him?" Li Er guessed who it was instantly, but the anger on his face was also at its extreme, "Is it possible that he still wants to avenge his father? If his father hadn't been so generous back then, how would he have survived?
Survive!"
After saying that, Li Er calmed down.
To be honest, when he found out who it was, he felt relieved.
He was just afraid that Li Chengqian's brothers were really up to something.
What goes up works and what goes down works, at that time, Li Yuan's words really came true.
After pondering for a moment, Li Er suddenly said: "I asked you to prepare before. How are you preparing?"
The waiter was also stunned, what are you asking?
You asked us to prepare for a lot of things. If you don’t tell me something specific, who knows what you are asking?
"It's a matter of Baiqisi." Generally speaking, Li Er was a relatively tolerant emperor, and he would not express his anger at others under normal circumstances.
Seeing the waiter, he didn't think about it for a moment, but he did mention it.
"It's not quite ready yet. I guess it will be almost there given some time."
Li Er shook his head and said: "No wait, hurry up and let Bai Qisi out now." After that, Li Er said again, "By the way, find out whether this matter has anything to do with King Yan.
.”
Although he knew who it was, he was still a little worried.
Li Chengqian never expected that because of his time travel, the famous Baiqisi would actually appear a few years earlier than in history.
