Although she is still a little naive, she understands at a young age that fighting is the way to survive for a woman in a high position.
Don't fight for the position of mistress, because she is already superior, and if you fight again, you will be disliked. Only magnanimity can make your status last forever.
In the other car, Wang Yuyan was sitting, looking indifferent.
She has walked through the gate of hell once. If her birth date had been handed over to Prince Yin's Mansion one day earlier, and if she had exchanged birthdays with Prince Yin's second son Li Chengdao, then she would be a corpse now. Even if the emperor does not grant her death now
, it is impossible for him to live again. (Purely fabricated! Li Chengdao was killed by Li Shimin, his age is unknown)
Even if his mother cries to death, there is no way to avoid his own death.
But fortunately, the birthday note was never sent to her, and she was still the daughter of the Wang family.
Wang Yuyan is also looking at Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing is different from Li Chengdao. Li Yuanxing is already an adult and has a graceful demeanor. He cannot be compared with Li Chengdao, who has several concubines at the age of fourteen and looks like a playboy at a young age.
What's more, Li Yuanxing himself is a star king from the sky. How can he compare with the little kid on the ground who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun?
Wang Yuyan looked at Li Yuanxing and silently thanked God.
Thank God that I am alive and have such a husband.
Wang Yuyan is not worried that the marriage will fall through, because the emperor granted the marriage and the birthday name sticker was authenticated by Mr. Fang and Mr. Li from the Ministry of Etiquette. The only worry is that the Cui and Lu families will be chosen as the hostess of Princess Qin.
Wang Yuyan knew very well who it was, and he also knew that no matter how the opponent competed, he would not be weaker than himself.
She knew Cui Yingying was sitting on the other horse from the beginning. And she also knew that the last one was also hiding in these carriages.
The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, and there was no such thing as knowing what the bride looked like after entering the bridal chamber.
At this time, Li Yuanxing waved and signaled Li Huishou from the Brocade Silk Chamber of Commerce to come closer to him.
Li Huishou knelt down in front of Li Yuanxing, lowering his head respectfully.
"I have a plow, which is very good!" Li Yuanxing said.
"Your Majesty, your plow is a gift from heaven. There are already samples placed in front of the city gate of Chang'an, protected by heavy soldiers. I also took a look at it from a distance. I heard that in a few days, people in the whole Chang'an can buy it. I heard that
The price is lower than that of an ordinary plow. I donated three cents of wisdom tax to thank God. The common people feel deeply that God is so kind!"
The few words of flattery were really good, and Li Yuanxing listened with a smile.
Li Huishou added: "The common people ordered a hundred pieces, and the common people had the courage to privately donate 400 Wen. The craftsmen heard that they were rushing to make them overnight, so the common people also donated an extra 50 Wen to give some to the craftsmen.
Hard-earned drink money!”
"You are very good and know how to do things." Li Yuanxing praised.
This Li Huishou is really a person. His ability to become the leader of the Chamber of Commerce seems to be not only based on his backstage.
This Li Huishou was able to understand Li Yuanxing's thoughts. Li Yuanxing was elevating the status of craftsmen, not to mention that there was such a God-given thing, so the people who made these objects naturally had a higher status.
Li Yuanxing clapped his hands, Lao Lang personally brought a wooden box, and the sergeant beside him brought a bamboo tube.
The wooden box can be completely opened. When opened, there is a crystal box. Inside the box is a small spinning machine. As the head of the Brocade Silk Association, Li Huishou naturally knows the spinning machine. It's just that the appearance of this spinning machine is a bit weird.
Many parts are completely unknown.
Li Yuanxing spoke again at this time: "Old man Lu Ban took away two bottles of this king's Millennium Immortal Wine. I really hate him. If I don't ask for more in return, I will be at a huge loss. What I want to come this time is not only for farmers, but also for farmers."
I have asked for something from the brocade silk merchant, please try it first."
Li Huishou was so excited that his whole body was trembling. He did not pick up the glass box. Instead, he kowtowed to Li Yuanxing three times before turning around and kowtowing to the sky. That was not the end of it. He also called everyone from the Brocade Silk Chamber of Commerce to thank him.
God-given creature.
Li Yuanxing is no longer surprised by this. It is a good thing for people to fear heaven and earth, at least it is a constraint on their own morals.
Watching Li Huishou silently thanking heaven and earth, Li Yuanxing reached for the empty teacup on the small table next to him. Then he picked up the teapot, which was empty.
This scene was seen by both women. Li Yuanxing was looking for water.
Just as Li Yuanxing kicked the sergeant next to him and cursed him for not even caring about getting enough water, a small white bowl appeared in front of Li Yuanxing, followed immediately by another small porcelain bowl.
Two voices like silver bells came at the same time: "Your Highness, please taste this bowl of sour plums!"
Who are these two girls!? Li Yuanxing was confused. He looked back at Lao Lang. He didn't seem to see these two women. Instead, there were several other maids dressed up and blocked ten steps away.
.
In an instant, Li Yuanxing understood.
Just by looking at this dress, I understood that they came from a wealthy family, and there was only one possibility that they could not stop even the old wolf.
That is the future mistress of Prince Qin's Mansion. Unless Lao Lang is crazy, offending them at this time will cause trouble for himself in the future. It seems that Lao Lang is not that kind of bastard, but he is very smart.
Li Yuanxing then turned around and took the two bowls at the same time: "Thank you both, I was looking for water."
After speaking, Li Yuanxing drank both bowls.
The two women looked at each other and there was no winner in this round.
Seeing that Li Yuanxing did not chase them away, but refused to leave, the same maid quickly set up a small table here with a fruit plate and sour plum soup with ice!
The two women sat next to Li Yuanxing, one on the left and the other on the right, at exactly the same distance, half a step away from Li Yuanxing.
The atmosphere was peaceful and not murderous.
Li Yuanxing's heart was a little confused. He did not dare to look at the two women head-on, but he quietly looked at the two women while pretending to look at the prices quoted by the merchants.
Besides Li Yuanxing, there was another person who was confused.
Naturally, it was Qiu Xue from the Lu family. She was younger, just two months after her thirteenth birthday. Her maids were even younger, so their reaction was half a beat slower. It can be said that she was completely defeated in this round, especially
Seeing Li Yuanxing secretly sizing up King Cui from a distance, she angrily ordered the carriage to turn around and return home immediately.
She needs guidance, and there will be someone at home to help her make suggestions if she moves back to this city.
After Li Yuanxing carefully looked at the two girls, he frowned. These two girls could not be said to be beautiful, nor did they have no temperament. However, the paint on their faces was too white, and there was probably lead powder in them, especially their mouths.
I only painted a small dot of red in the middle and two round black dots on the eyebrows.
Li Yuanxing suddenly felt irritable in his heart.
This dress looks like the dress of Japanese geisha in later generations. Although I know in my heart that this is the Tang Dynasty and this is the makeup of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, my heart is not very happy. Coupled with the cold war under this calm, Li Yuanxing makes
More annoying.
Li Huishou had kowtowed to his head dozens of times, and now he came to Li Yuanxing again, standing very respectfully. "I am willing to offer God a 30-cent Tianzhi tax. And for each developed
The craftsmen pay three cents for each frame!"
Of course, most of the things in heaven should be given to heaven.
The craftsmen responsible for the production also worked hard, just like Li Yuanxing and Li Nali, for every piece of wisdom tax collected, 20% would go to the craftsmen.
Therefore, the amount of money proposed by Li Huishou is very reasonable.
Li Yuanxing was in a state of confusion and did not answer immediately. Li Huishou added: "This is just a suggestion. After it is made, it is natural to ask the masters of the Ministry of Industry to verify it, and then calculate the accurate Tianzhi tax. If it is different, it will be smaller."
The people will definitely increase, and if there are more people, the income will be thirty cents!" After saying that, he went to take the glass box from the old wolf's hand.
At this time, Cui Yingying, who was sitting on the left side of Li Yuanxing, spoke up: "Don't you think you have lost your respect for a divine gift from God? Go back to bathe and change clothes, choose an auspicious time and come back to ask for the gift from God. As for the wisdom tax on that day, this
I am grateful to God and the hard-working craftsmen. Everything has a rule. If it is less for you, it will naturally increase, and if it is more, it will naturally be less. People must respect God!"
"Yes, the common people are stupid!" Li Huishou quickly admitted his mistake.
Cui Baobao was right about what he said. First of all, he had to choose an auspicious time for bathing, which he had neglected. Besides, he liked the rules even more.
If there are other items in the future, it won’t be a problem for officials to increase prices arbitrarily.
There is a standard for everything, and each chamber of commerce is qualified to send representatives to put forward opinions on this standard.
The standards must be adhered to.
After confessing his crime, Li Huishou resigned, and the current focus was on marking the land.
Li Yuanxing was surprised at how old a little girl was. Could it be said that education in the Tang Dynasty was more powerful than modern education?
Li Yuanxing stood up and faced Cui Yingying. This action made the two women extremely nervous. Cui Yingying did not feel that she had the upper hand over Wang Yuyan at all. It might be a sin to interrupt in front of King Qin.
Li Yuanxing spoke at this time: "I think you should be the daughters of the Cui, Lu, and Wang families. Go back and wash your face, and don't apply anything else. Come to Qin Wangzhuang tomorrow morning. I have something to do for you.
.By the way, whose property those study rooms in Chang'an City belong to, please call someone who can speak to me."
Anyone who can manage books is naturally from a wealthy family.
Li Shimin had told him not to rush into a stalemate with the big family. The Tang Dynasty could not afford such internal fighting at the moment. Therefore, Li Yuanxing's choice was to make contact first and even give certain benefits. There are some things that ordinary businessmen dare not manage.
Even if the family is well-connected, it may go bankrupt at worst, or the family may be ruined at worst.
Li Yuanxing had already made an explanation, and the two women naturally understood that it was time to leave. They both bowed and left, and they even smiled at each other, looking very harmonious.
