Chapter 544: Lipstick shows charm, I have made a contract and I want to seal it with a jade seal!
"Auntie, what's the matter? Just tell me!"
Li Min asked curiously.
What does Queen Changsun want to ask?
"that……"
"Sister, tell me, I've made you anxious too!"
Concubine Yang said anxiously on the side.
"that……"
It seems that this incident made it difficult for Empress Changsun to talk about it.
"If you need anything, just ask, we are all our own people here. There is no need to be too polite!"
Li Min expressed.
When Ji Ruxue heard that they were all one of her own, she felt happy.
It turns out that Li Min has 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 Min would marry them.
Regarding the four girls, it was difficult for Li Min to choose who should be number one.
Maybe he will marry them all.
"Actually, I want to take some banknotes back to show His Majesty. It's best to have every kind!"
Only then did Concubine Yang know that this was what happened.
Even if they were together, she didn't know what Queen Changsun was thinking.
Li Min fainted, what's this, isn't it just a few banknotes?
But Queen Changsun didn't think so.
Because this is the feeling of asking for money from Li Min.
Paper money has value.
"Isn't it just banknotes? Ruxue, go and get all the banknotes, one kind at a time! Also, bring that thing over."
"clear!"
"By the way, bring some of that facial mask and lipstick. Mom and aunt must have used them up."
"Um?"
The two were puzzled.
Facial mask is easy to understand, but what is lipstick?
But once things come out of Li Min, they will be good.
As for what the lipstick was, the two of them had to wait until the item arrived before asking.
"Understood, I'll let people prepare it. I'll prepare the banknotes first! Since the facial mask and lipstick are not here, they will be delivered later."
Ji Ruxue said.
Li Min nodded and told her to prepare.
Then, he entertained two more people.
"Come on, come on, sit down!"
The two sat down again.
After a while, Ji Ruxue brought some banknotes.
She put it on the table.
And a black block was also placed.
Li Min picked up the money and said: "This is 1 tael, this is 5 taels... these are two! All together, the total is two!"
The two took the banknotes, looked at them carefully, and then exclaimed.
"It turns out that paper money looks like this. It's really exquisite."
Queen Changsun said.
"Yes, what is carved on it is... a tenement building! It's so lifelike! The person who can draw the paintings on this banknote must be a master!"
Concubine Yang followed.
The pattern on it is very obvious and protruding, which is not something that can be achieved with current technology.
Li Min just smiled.
For him, this was simply too simple.
Ji Ruxue opened her mouth.
"You two, these were all painted by Mr. Zili! They were not painted by anyone else! Then we hired a master engraver to make them."
"Huh? Seriously?"
"Kid, what else can't you do?"
The two of them were completely shocked.
"This is not important. I will leave this money here for you to take back! Maybe it can be more convincing."
Li Min picked up the black block and opened it. There were folded layers inside.
"This is?"
"This is a wallet! It can be used to store banknotes to prevent the banknotes from being sweated or rained on the body or even excessively wrinkled, making the printing unclear. With this wallet, you can protect the banknotes!"
After Li Min finished speaking, he put the money in his wallet.
It doesn't make sense to have money but no wallet.
Although in the future, the role of wallets will no longer be to store money, not many people in future generations will show up with cash.
But in ancient times, it was still very necessary.
He handed the wallet to Queen Changsun.
When she saw it, she was amazed again.
"Xin'er, you are really thoughtful. This is indeed a good method!"
"Mr. Zili, the stuff has been delivered!"
Then, Ji Ruxue said.
"Leave it alone!"
Li Min signaled everyone to put their things down.
That's a hundred boxes of facial masks and a dozen sticks of lipstick.
"Hey, is this lipstick?"
Empress Changsun didn't pay attention to the facial mask. She was just happy when she saw it, and then she used another facial mask.
What she cares more about is lipstick.
"This is usually called lipstick, but in my case, it is called lipstick. It can be applied directly to the lips. And once it is applied, it will not fall off easily. After application, it can be more convenient and the lips will be more attractive!"
Lipstick in ancient times was called lipstick. It was also called "lipstick" in ancient times. Before the advent of tubular lipstick, lipstick was actually the same as rouge. It was packaged in a small box or jar and could be directly dipped in and applied with your fingers.
Li Min knew this very well, so after researching facial masks, he added lipstick, and then he also had to invent things like BB cream eyeliner.
This will be a blessing for women in this era.
As soon as Li Min finished speaking, the two women were completely smitten.
Especially what he said is even more tempting.
Concubine Yang first said: "Has anyone used it before?"
Li Min pointed at Ji Ruxue's lips and said, "Ruxue uses this lipstick. What do you think?"
"Wonderful! It's really tempting! Just now I thought why this kid like Ruxue has such good energy and blood. It turns out she has lipstick!"
Queen Changsun said.
"Then how to use this?"
Concubine Yang asked next.
"Ruxue, I leave it to you! Teach them!"
Ji Ruxue took his life.
"I understand, Mr. Zili!"
Li Min walked to the side, while Ji Ruxue got involved with the two of them.
The entire Shengtang Group echoed with the laughter of the three women.
This continued until the afternoon, when Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang reluctantly left.
As soon as they leave.
Ji Ruxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Too long of her time was wasted for these two women.
"Mr. Zili, do you think His Majesty will agree to join Shengtang Bank?"
Ji Ruxue asked curiously.
"Yes, he will definitely do it. Nowadays, all those with technology are 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
It’s uncomfortable!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But, what if he is not good for you?"
"He doesn't dare!"
"Why? Because he is your father?"
"No! That's not the case. I understand him best. The Shengtang Group exists in Chang'an City and even in the entire Tang Dynasty, and it has a good reputation. I haven't done anything particularly excessive. What can he do to me?
Like? And I am also doing it for Datang. Everything produced by our Shengtang Group is shocking. For the future, he does not dare and there is no need. Moreover, he will send people to strengthen our protection!"
"I hope it's as you said!"
"Don't hope, that's it. Tomorrow at the latest, he will send someone to sign the contract. You will know then!"
"so?"
"Okay, I still have things to do!"
"I understand, then I'll go down first! Call me if you need anything!"
Li Min nodded and dived into his laboratory.
He started his research again.
As for Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang, it was already dusk when they arrived at Taiji Palace.
As soon as the two entered a palace, they bumped into Li Shimin.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
The two of them bowed to Li Shimin.
When Li Shimin saw the two of them, he was about to say something, but when he saw their faces, he was a little surprised.
"you……"
Queen Changsun asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with me?"
"Yeah, what about us? Is there something wrong?"
Concubine Yang was also anxious.
"Today is particularly touching!"
Li Shimin only said one sentence.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"What difference does your Majesty think we have?"
"I can't see that. I just think you look good!"
"After my sister and I went to Shengtang Group, Min'er gave us some facial masks, and we did some maintenance at his place. Then, he gave us some lipstick, something to apply on our mouths."
Concubine Yang took out the lipstick and demonstrated how it looked.
Li Shimin suddenly realized.
"I see. No wonder I always feel that there is something different about you two. It turns out to be lipstick!"
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were very happy.
It seems that Li Min did not lie to the two of them.
“We also feel a lot more beautiful!”
Li Shimin stared at the two of them for a long time.
"You two can sleep with me tonight!"
When these words came out, the two of them were a little surprised.
Two of them together?
Maybe they are too attractive.
But it would be great to have the emperor's blessing.
Therefore, because of the lipstick incident, the entire palace exploded.
In the next period of time, Li Shimin's harem concubines rushed to find Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang, staying with them for various reasons. Their real purpose was to use them as an excuse for Hong.
However, because of their high status, they could only make insinuating remarks and did not dare to speak out.
In just a few days, the news of the lipstick spread to the imperial palace, and the legend of the lipstick spread throughout Chang'an City, causing uproar in the city.
This is something to be done after the funeral, and it can only be said as soon as Li Shimin has finished speaking.
Suddenly I remembered something again.
"By the way, how did that matter go?"
he asks.
"Your Majesty, Min'er has made several requests, and they are all on this paper! Please take a look at them!"
Queen Changsun took out a piece of paper from her arms and said.
"Oh? Let me take a look!"
Li Shimin took the paper and took a look.
The more I look at this, the worse my face becomes.
Finally, he threw the paper to the ground hard!
"This traitor! I'm so angry! What do you think I am? Are you trying to kill me?"
It seems that everything written on this paper made Li Shimin very embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, I think Min'er's words are right. Besides, he can be regarded as your biological son! In the future, Shengtang Group will probably belong to the imperial court, and the money will only be placed with him temporarily."
Queen Changsun said.
As for Concubine Yang, she said: "Your Majesty, Min'er also said that more than 90% of the money earned will be invested in research, whether it is medicine or other industries, he will invest it in order to revitalize the economy of the Tang Dynasty! This
I'm afraid no one among the many princes would do this kind of behavior, right? And in ancient times, no one could love the Tang Dynasty as much as he does!"
As soon as the two women spoke, Li Shimin's anger subsided a little.
Their advice was very useful.
This is why Li Min gave them lipstick and facial masks.
Because those who eat are soft-mouthed and those who take advantage are short-handed.
The two of them owed Li Min a lot of favors.
Concubine Yang was fine, but Empress Changsun was just a little bit sorry.
And they also want to promote this merger, which will be of great benefit to Datang.
Maybe it can reduce the hatred between father and son.
Queen Changsun said nothing when she saw Li Shimin.
Then he took out his wallet from his arms.
"Your Majesty, please look!"
She handed it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin didn't understand what it was.
Open it and take a look.
Immediately shocked.
"What is this?"
"This is a wallet. What's inside is money. It's something Min'er came up with. It says it can protect banknotes from damage."
"This wallet is indeed beautiful, and the printing of these banknotes is even more exquisite."
Li Shimin praised.
"Yeah, I'm afraid no one can print exactly the same banknote."
Queen Changsun said.
Speaking of this, Concubine Yang remembered something.
"By the way, I heard that there are counterfeit banknotes among the people now. I heard from Min'er that if we can use the legislative process to deal with it, we can definitely clean up some of the counterfeits and give the people an explanation. Moreover, according to what I said
You know, the den of counterfeit banknotes is within the aristocratic family."
There is something in Concubine Yang's words.
Li Shimin understood this a long time ago.
He thought about it.
Finally, I picked up the piece of paper and read it again.
After a long time, he seemed to react from his thoughts.
Then, he said slowly: "Let Wei Zheng enter the palace! After the contract is drawn up, I will stamp it with a jade seal! At dawn tomorrow, I will go directly to the Shengtang Group to sign the contract, and have the Ministry of Revenue prepare 100 million taels.
Silver! Directly inject capital into Shengtang Bank. Finally, order ten officials to settle in the bank and exercise supervisory authority!"
As soon as these words came out, the two women were overjoyed.
In this case, Li Shimin is going to sign it.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The two said in unison.
"You guys go to the palace and wait for me! I'll come after I finish my work!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Finally, Li Shimin said.
Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious! Your matter is important!"
"I'll be fine soon, you two are waiting for me!"
Li Shimin expressed.
Then he said: "By the way, I keep this wallet."
Unexpectedly, he fell in love with this wallet.
The two women had nothing to say.
As for the money in the wallet, it was given directly to Li Shimin.
At that time, when Li Min gave money to the two women, he thought that there would be such a scene.
To Li Min, this money was just a few pieces of paper. And if the money was left with Li Shimin, he couldn't spend it, because the emperor didn't have to spend money.
"Why? Don't want to?"
When Li Shimin saw that the two of them were silent, he asked.
"No, no, no, if your Majesty likes it, just take it!"
Queen Changsun said immediately.
"Okay, sister, let's go in first, Your Majesty still has something to deal with!"
"Okay, Your Majesty, let's take our leave first!"
"Go for it!"
The two of them then entered the palace.
As for Li Shimin, he was busy until the early morning that night before completing everything.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, he remembered something again.
Then he asked the guard: "How is the progress of the matter that I asked you to investigate last time?"
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has been staying in the tenement building recently, and he is rarely seen. Our inspection was forced to stop!"
"Is that so? Then forget about it and don't investigate anymore!"
Li Shimin said.
He knew that if he continued to investigate, there would definitely be results, but this result might not be a good thing for Li Min.
Now I want to cooperate with Li Min to open a bank.
Naturally, we can't check too closely.
Otherwise, I'm afraid things may change.
Some people, if they die, they will not be of much use anyway. On the contrary, if they do not die, they will hinder the progress of history.
And, as a father, this may be considered selfish.
If I wanted to check it before, it was just out of curiosity, but now that curiosity no longer exists.
"Okay, let's get this over with. Send more people to protect Li Min from now on!"
"But, Your Majesty, we now have three hundred people hiding around the Shengtang Group!"
The guard said so.
"Are there three hundred people? Let's add one hundred more!"
Li Shimin may have forgotten that since Li Min was in danger that time, Xue Rengui has always wanted to go back and said that he wanted to protect Li Min.
In the end, he paid the price of 300 people to allow Xue Rengui to stay in the palace with peace of mind.
Otherwise, Xue Rengui, who had finally gained it, might have to go back to Shengtang Group again.
If that were the case, there would be no way to put my face on hold.
"yes!"
The guard knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless, so that was it.
Finally, Li Shimin looked at the Queen.
murmured:
"Unknowingly, it's already so late! I hope tomorrow will be a good day!"
He didn't know that Hou Junji broke into the palace directly at dawn the next day.
He said he wanted to see Li Shimin.
He also held a newspaper in his hand.
She acted as if someone owed her millions of taels.
"Your Majesty, please be sure to take care of me!"
Li Shimin was woken up and was very unhappy!
Concubine Yang and Queen Changsun were also woken up!
"His Majesty……"
"You guys rest for a while, and I'll go take a look!"
Li Shimin stood up, and someone helped him get dressed.
He went outside.
Hou Junji was waiting there very anxiously.
When he saw Li Shimin coming out, he became excited.
Holding the newspaper in hand!
"Your Majesty, I have something urgent to report!"
Li Shimin yawned. He went to bed so late last night and was woken up early this morning, which made him very unhappy!
"What's the matter? Can't you wait until morning to report?"
Hou Junji immediately said: "This matter is very urgent. If it is not stopped in time, it will have a huge impact on the Tang Dynasty!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he half woke up!
"explain!"
"The sixth prince is so bold! He dared to directly say in the newspaper that the imperial court wanted to invest in Shengtang Bank! He thinks too highly of himself, right? Your Majesty, please 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 continued:
"I ordered people to go see him, and Wei Zheng was actually there, speaking for him!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he wondered if Wei Zheng had gone there last night? Or did Li Min know everything in advance?
How did he know that this was Li Min'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 ahead of time!
Before Hou Junji finished speaking, he added: "Your Majesty, this matter must be taken care of!"
Li Shimin ignored him.
"His Majesty!"
"alright!"
Hou Junji was puzzled, what's better?
"this……"
"Stop talking!"
"Your Majesty, this is a serious matter, why didn't you let me talk about it?"
"About buying shares, that's what I want!"
"Ah! Why didn't I know that?"
"Do I need to let you know my decision in advance?"
Li Shimin asked rhetorically.
Hou Junji was frightened. Li Shimin seemed a bit scary today.
He said quickly:
"No, no, no! I didn't mean that!"
Hou Junji originally wanted to get Li Min, but now it seems that he can't!
"Okay, back off!"
"But……"
"Um?"
"yes!"
Just as Hou Junji was about to go out, Li Shimin suddenly remembered something.
"return!"
"Your Majesty, is there anything else I need to do?"
"You have also read about banknotes. There are many counterfeit coins appearing now. I have a manuscript here for you to study carefully and work with the people from the Ministry of Punishment to formulate a banking law! This will be the first case tomorrow!"
At this time, the Minister of Justice was Li Daozong.
Li Daozong (602-653), courtesy name Chengfan, was born in Chengji, Longxi. A clan member and important general in the early Tang Dynasty, he was the great-grandson of Tang Taizu Li Hu, the grandson of Li Zhang, the governor of Liangzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the son of Li Shao, the king of Dongping (posthumous title).
The nephew of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuantang.
"ah!?"
"What? Can't you do it? If you can't do it, then I will let Wei Zheng handle this matter instead of you!"
Hou Junji is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, so he should be responsible for handling the legislation. If he can't handle it, Li Shimin may replace him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! How dare he say no?
"Yes! I understand!"
Then Li Shimin threw the paper he got from Li Min yesterday to Hou Junji.
"Remember, don't lose this piece of paper, otherwise ten heads won't be enough!"
"yes!"
Hou Junji didn't understand why this piece of paper was so important.
He glanced at it and saw that the handwriting on the paper was not Li Min's.
The handwriting is beautiful and looks more like it was written by a woman.
He immediately thought of Empress Changsun, which was actually written by Ji Ruxue.
"The handwriting of this manuscript is beautiful and graceful. It must be the work of Her Majesty the Queen! Her Majesty the Queen is really powerful. It is admirable that she can come up with such a theory!"
Queen Changsun, who was in the rear, felt a little ashamed when she heard this.
This is Li Min's contribution.
As for the handwriting, it is Ji Ruxue's.
"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 originally wanted to flatter you, but now I can't.
"My talents are sparse and my knowledge is shallow!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense! Get down!"
Hou Junji then retreated.
Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang walked out of it.
Li Shimin asked curiously: "Queen, who wrote that word!?"
"Reply to Your Majesty, it was written by Ji Ruxue!"
Queen Changsun said.
Li Shimin was shocked.
"It's her! She is indeed a talented woman of a generation!"
Concubine Yang added: "She is not only a talented woman, she can take on her own role in the Shengtang Group, and is deeply loved by Min'er! She is also capable of everything and understands everything!"
The more she said this, the more Li Shimin wanted to get Ji Ruxue.
There has never been a woman who could refuse herself.
Even Ji Ruxue is the same.
So, he thought about it again.
You must get Ji Ruxue.
"I see……"
Li Shimin murmured.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Queen Changsun asked.
"It's okay, it's okay, I have to go to the imperial study room first!"
After finishing, Li Shimin left the two of them, and that afternoon, a large amount of silver was transported to the Shengtang Group.
At the same time, a contract was signed with Shengtang Bank.
Then, in the coming days, Shengtang Bank will be spread throughout Datang!
