After the Chang'an curfew was lifted, the effect and response were very good.
After the news reached Li Shimin's ears, he thought of conducting a private visit incognito to get a feel for the people's sentiments.
At the same time, they also called Concubine Yin and King Yan Li You, but they did not bring the queen or the prince.
Although many people had objections to this, under Li Shimin's firm request, no one dared to say anything to his face.
After receiving the order to go out with Li Shimin to observe the sentiments of the people, Concubine Yin was very happy and put on carefully selected clothes.
You must know that it is extremely difficult for a concubine in the harem to leave the palace, let alone go out with the emperor, which shows your majesty's favor!
Moreover, Concubine Yin has not left the palace for a long time. When she finally came out, everything she saw was novel and her smile never stopped. She looked like a girl in her twenties. Wait, Concubine Yin's real age is only in her twenties. Sui, needless to say, looks like it, it’s just a matter of nature.
Li You, on the other hand, was extremely reluctant and helpless.
As a time traveler, he hasn't seen any excitement. Have you seen the Kyoto Olympics? It's much more lively than Chang'an City!
Besides, he often sneaked out of the palace to play, and he had visited Chang'an City for a long time. He was quite interested in it at first, but as time went by, it was just like that, especially under the constraints of the curfew, there was nothing interesting at all, and It's worth going to the Vocal Music Studio all the time. You'll never tire of watching those girls, and the little songs are endless.
Therefore, when Li Shimin asked him to follow him to visit Chang'an City at night, Li You refused with a hundred or a thousand hearts.
He originally wanted to pretend to be sick and get rid of it, but his mother, Concubine Yin, dragged him off the bed and pestered him for a long time. Only then did Li You agree to go with him.
"Your Majesty, Dukes of Qi, Dukes of Lai, Dukes of Lu, Dukes of E and the King of Hejian are all over there.'"
Wang Ling had sharp eyes and recognized Changsun Wuji's group of people gathered from a distance.
"Oh? Is it so lively tonight?" Li Shimin smiled, and suddenly found it very interesting. You must know that apart from attending court every day, it was difficult for him to see so many ministers gathered together.
"Let's go and have a look!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and immediately led a group of people towards the busiest street.
Because it was a private visit incognito, Li Shimin and his party all dressed up in disguise. Li Shimin pretended to be a wealthy man named Huang, while Concubine Yin, Li You naturally became the wife and son, Wang Ling was the housekeeper, and Li Junxian was The leader of the guard, with four or five guards.
While walking, Wang Ling explained to Li Shimin: "Sir, since the curfew was lifted, in addition to the two imperial hotpot restaurants opened by the Ministry of Revenue in the East and West cities, people like Qi Guogong, Lai Guogong, Lu Guogong, and E Guogong, The King of Hejian and others also followed suit and opened a hot pot restaurant or set up a hot pot stall on the roadside!"
"Relying on the popularity of hot pot, these princes, princes and ministers have all made a lot of money!" Wang Ling changed the topic and continued: "But as more and more people open hot pot restaurants, the competition is also becoming more and more intense. The more there are, the less profit will be made, otherwise the princes and ministers will start blaming each other, and there will be more and more quarrels!"
After hearing Wang Ling's words, Li Shimin burst out laughing, "They are quite old, and they actually competed for a few taels of silver!"
"These princes and ministers do not think about how to build the Tang Dynasty every day. Instead, they argue with each other over this mere hot pot. They are not afraid of losing face, so why should I be afraid?"
Although what Li Shimin said seemed to be talking about these princes and ministers, he was still very proud and happy in his heart.
After all, it was the leadership of these princes and ministers that accelerated the development of hot pot and made it popular among ordinary people.
The surplus iron pots are able to sell well, which is all due to the overwhelming publicity of so many hot pot shops.
Everything here is complementary to each other and cannot exist without one!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Li You beside him, and secretly sighed that he really gave birth to a good son!
Despite the indifferent look on Li You's face now, no one knows what kind of talent he is!
As for Li You, looking at the bustling Chang'an Night Market and the aroma of hot pot wafting in the air, and hearing Wang Ling's words, he was already extremely shocked!
Quan Wanji originally reported the situation outside to Li You. Although Li You didn't like to hear it, Quan Wanji was talking beside him. He also knew what was going on outside, but he didn't know what happened. In the past two days, Quan Wanji Wanji didn't come to Prince Yan's Mansion, and of course Li You didn't care much either.
But precisely because of this, Li You didn't know anything about Chang'an Night Market. Even when the imperial court canceled the curfew, Li Shimin arranged for someone to notify Li You.
Li You was surprised at first when he heard that the curfew was cancelled, but now he understands that it is all for the sake of the night market economy!
[Damn it! Li Er is okay with this! But is Li Er really so smart? 】
[After I thought of trading iron pots with the Turks, I canceled the curfew, opened a hot pot restaurant, and developed the night market economy!]
【This is simply incredible!】
[And all these princes and ministers are also experts at making money. They probably made a lot of money from hot pot restaurants! 】
[It’s hard not to make money by following national policies.]
Li You watched the lively scene of the night market along the way. Although he said nothing on the surface, he kept mumbling in his heart.
[Fuck! Originally, opening a hotpot restaurant was my next plan, but now these people have taken the lead. When I think that these people are making their own money, my heart aches! 】
[However, Li Er and these princes and ministers are too stupid. They only know how to open a hotpot restaurant to make money but do not know the business strategy. 】
[If I were to manage these hot pot restaurants, I would not let these hot pot restaurants fight alone. After all, this kind of competition within the industry will only reduce the quality and service of hot pot restaurants, and ultimately make less and less money. , even if you don’t make money, you may lose money! I have seen too many hot pot restaurants that took less than three months from opening to closing!]
Li Shimin has always paid close attention to Li You's inner thoughts. This is actually the fundamental reason why he asked Li You to go to the night market with him!
After hearing Li You's inner complaints, Li Shimin also became nervous. After all, he did not want the temporary prosperity of Chang'an Night Market, but a long-lasting prosperity. Naturally, he did not allow problems with the night market economy and hot pot restaurants.
So he listened more attentively, slowed down a lot, and even stopped with a serious expression. Wang Ling and Li Junxian beside him also sensed the change in His Majesty. They thought there was some danger around them, and they suddenly became nervous. Get up and quickly guard Li Shimin.
