After coming out of the East Palace, walk a while and you will reach the East Market of Chang'an City.
There are two cities in Chang'an City, the east and west, which are mainly the commercial centers in Chang'an City. Here, there are many shops, merchants gather, and industry and commerce are very developed.
Dongshi is mainly the center of handicraft production and commercial trade. There are pen shops, wine shops, iron shops, butcher shops, as well as donkey renters, Huqin sellers, famous pipa players, etc.
The West Market is equivalent to the current industrial and commercial district and economic activity center, also known as the "Gold Market".
This is because the West Market is relatively close to the starting point of the Silk Road, so many foreign businessmen live in the surrounding areas, making it an international trade market.
In the West Market, you can see businessmen from Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Goryeo, Baekje, Silla, Japan and other countries and regions. Among them, Central Asia and Persia have the most "Hu merchants". Therefore,
The West Market is more interesting and the goods are more novel. You can see the Orchid Wine Shop where many girls from the Western Regions sing, dance and serve wine.
On weekdays, the favorite place for Cheng Chusi and others to have fun is the Western Market.
However, today, because they had important matters on their minds, they gathered in the Juxian Tower in the East City.
Although it is said to be Juxian Tower, it is actually a relatively high-end wine shop.
Although they are the legitimate sons of various princes, they are still children, their finances are not yet free, and they always only have a few tens of pennies in their pockets.
Changsun rushed out of the East Palace and walked for more than a quarter of an hour before arriving at the Juxian Tower.
At this time, Cheng Chusi, Fang Yizhi and others were sitting on the second floor, staring anxiously.
Seeing the eldest grandson rushing towards him, several people couldn't help but stare at him closely with anticipation on their faces.
"How's it going?"
"Your Highness, would you like to take me in?"
"Chang Sun Chong, don't eat it yet, tell me quickly!"
"If you want to know, pay first!"
At this moment, Changsun Chong was not in a hurry. He took a bite of the food and spoke calmly.
"Hey, you Changsun Chong, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant when you are with His Highness now!"
Cheng Chusi's eyes widened with anger on his face.
"These people don't believe you!"
Changsun Chong said.
"Well done to you, Changsun Chong!"
After hearing this, Cheng Chusi became even more angry, and his face turned from black to purple.
"These are two silver ingots."
On the side, Li Chongyi took out two small pieces of silver from his pocket and placed them in front of Changsun Chong, with a trace of distress in his eyes.
"You can say it now!"
For these two pieces of silver, a few of them worked together to collect two copper coins, and then found a Hu merchant to exchange for them.
This is just a month's worth of money for a few of them!
"Look, Chongyi is still happy!"
When he saw the silver, Changsun Chong's eyes lit up and he quickly put the money away, his face full of joy.
Immediately, he coughed lightly and said slowly: "Lijiazhuang is too tightly guarded, and His Highness can't take you in!"
"What?"
After hearing this, even Fang Yizhi and Du Gou looked at Changsun Chong angrily.
As for Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin, they stood up directly and stared at Changsun Chong fiercely.
If there is a disagreement, it means that they will immediately turn against each other and take action.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!"
Seeing this, Changsun Chong shrank his neck, waved his hands quickly and said: "However, there is another method suitable for you, do you want to listen to it?"
"Hmph, Changsun Chong, you took our money, if you can't tell me anything, I'll beat you up!"
Yuchi Baolin's urn sound and urn qi channel.
"Hehe, I have found out everything. The area around the Li Family Manor is guarded by palace guards. No one can enter without His Majesty's permission. Even the Prince cannot bring anyone in."
Changsun Chong said with a sneer on his face.
"Tell me, what's a good way?" Cheng Chusi couldn't bear it when someone was trying to show off to him, so he glared and urged.
"Didn't Duke Su and Duke Wei both ask Your Majesty to let you come in to become their disciples?"
Changsun Chong said: "Although Your Majesty is not willing, you can go and guard outside the Li Family Village. Didn't those guards say that if you want to enter, you need the permission of the Hejian County King? When you arrive, you will meet the Hejian County King.
You can ask the King of Hejian County to take you in."
"What a bad idea!"
After hearing this, the expressions of Cheng Chusi and others suddenly changed slightly, "Changsun Chong, what are you doing to be careful? How dare you ask us to block His Majesty!"
"Who told you to block His Majesty?"
Changsun Chong looked innocent.
"You clearly know that the Prince of Hejian County on Zhuangzi should be your Majesty."
Li Chongyi said.
"No, don't involve me in this matter, I don't know!"
Changsun Chong shook his head repeatedly.
"Chang Sun Chong..."
Seeing this, Cheng Chusi stared blankly again.
However, Du Gou and Li Chongyi on the side were thoughtful.
"Chu Si, Yi Zhi, Bao Lin, come here. Changsun Chong didn't mean to cause trouble, it should be like this..."
"You see it like this?"
After listening, Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin all had happy faces.
Looking at Changsun Chong aside, his expression was incomprehensible, "Sure enough, what Aye said is right. Scholars can have dark minds, but you must not believe it. Now, I, Cheng Chusi, have seen it!"
"I, Yuchi Baolin, have also seen it!"
"Barbarian!"
Changsun Chong curled his lips with disdain on his face.
"Tomorrow, I will go and watch every morning!"
"Exactly, go and wait for Prince Hejian!"
"Hey, if it works out this time, even if I get beaten up by Aye again, I'll have to stay in bed for a year!"
As they said this, several people couldn't help but eat with great joy.
In the next few days, a group of merchants and wine shops in the east and west cities of Chang'an City found themselves and others feeling a lot more relaxed.
…
Inside the East Palace.
Ever since Li Shimin agreed with Li Chengqian to open a library.
Li Chengqian began to get busy.
At the same time, Li Gang, Kong Yingda and others entered and exited the East Palace even more frequently.
If you want to open a library, you need enough books to sell.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian mainly sells enlightenment alphabet books and numerical arithmetic books.
As for other books, I don’t have many requirements.
Li Chengqian doesn't need to worry about this.
In the East Palace, more than half of the official elites of the Tang Dynasty held positions here.
Therefore, Li Chengqian only needs to explain it, and someone will do the legwork for these trivial matters.
Li Chengqian is mainly responsible for pricing and written formatting and confirmation.
However, Li Chengqian was not prepared to determine this himself.
Therefore, after discussing the best plan and two backup plans with Li Gang, Kong Yingda, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others, he took the newly typeset books and got on the carriage, escorted by Li Fu.
, rushed to Lijiazhuang.
"Hush!"
Suddenly, when he was approaching Lijiazhuang, Li Chengqian felt the carriage shake.
Immediately, I felt that the carriage stopped quickly.
Outside the car, Li Fu looked even more nervous, staring closely at the people sitting on the roadside.
