"I'm interested, I must be interested. Tell me, how much will it cost?" Cheng Chumo decided to participate without even asking.
Yuchi Baolin and Li Dejiang also expressed their intention to participate, but Qin Huaidao looked a little hesitant.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "I want to open a furniture workshop specializing in the production of Taishi chairs and other furniture for sale."
"This is good. The Taishi Chair looks impressive. My father and others like it. It will definitely make money." Cheng Chumo agreed.
"Zichu, if we participate, how much will each of us contribute?" Qin Huaidao asked.
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said: "I have already bought a yard. It is enough for the early stage but not enough later. I have already made money. I can just buy the yard now without spending money."
"How can this be done? You have already done everything and you don't want us to pay for it. How can you be so embarrassed?" Qin Huaidao said.
He was previously worried that he needed too much money and his family would not be able to afford it.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan said that they would not need to pay. He was grateful, but unwilling to accept this kind of cooperation that was similar to charity.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Brother Huai Dao, I didn't say that I won't let you do anything. Moreover, I didn't spend much to buy the house and other things before. When I make money later, I will definitely withdraw the capital."
To make good friends with them, you definitely can't rely on money alone. Lin Xuan definitely understands this.
"Zichu, tell me, what do we need to do?" Cheng Chumo asked.
Lin Xuan said: "Brothers, you should all have good carpenters in your family. Making furniture requires a lot of carpenters, and the ones I found are not enough."
"That's no problem." Several people agreed quickly.
Rich lords will support some craftsmen.
They opened their own furniture workshop, and it was of little use to have carpenters at home.
"Since the brothers have agreed, let's arrange for someone to send the carpenters there after we go back." Lin Xuan said.
He had previously thought about whether he should bring this matter to the Niu family.
After thinking about it later, I gave up. Niu Jinda only had a son and could not walk on his feet. Just the money from Niu Jinda could make Niu Dabao rich and prosperous for a lifetime even if Niu Jinda had to wait a hundred years.
Without Niu Jinda, the Niu family will definitely decline. Having more money is not a good thing for the Niu family.
…
"Young Master, the East Palace sent someone to say that His Highness the Crown Prince would like to invite you to the East Palace." Lin Ping said.
"Okay, I get it."
Lin Xuan was a little strange. In order not to appear too close, he and Li Chengqian had not seen each other for a while. She didn't know why he suddenly wanted to see her.
An hour later, Lin Xuan arrived at the East Palace and was taken to the main hall by the chamberlain.
"My lord, see His Highness the Crown Prince!" Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.
Li Chengqian stood up and supported him, and said with a smile: "Sit down quickly, your housewarming party is going to be held. Don't be surprised if you can't go because I have something to do!"
"Moving house is not a big deal. Besides, didn't His Highness send someone a generous gift? I should thank His Highness." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
For example, when some lords hold banquets, the prince usually sends someone to send a congratulatory gift and will not attend in person.
It's not that they maintain their own identity. On occasions like that, only lords and ministers go. If they attend frequently, they will inevitably give people the feeling of making friends with ministers.
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "As long as you understand, I heard that you and Cheng Chumo and others have opened a new furniture shop in partnership. I wonder if I can be a part of it?"
Lin Xuan looked at Li Chengqian in surprise and asked: "Your Highness, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is well off. Hasn't Your Majesty already restored the expenses of the East Palace? Why do you think of doing business?"
What surprised him was not that Li Chengqian knew about it. He had no intention of hiding it at first. It had been a few days, so it was not surprising that Li Chengqian knew about it.
The imperial court was short of money before, so Li Shimin paid a lot of money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the national treasury.
As a result, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was unable to provide for the expenses of the palace and the prince and princess.
The cost of the East Palace was reduced to less than half of what it was before.
If this is the case, it is normal for Li Chengqian to want to make money.
But since the establishment of Liulic Pavilion, Li Shimin has become rich and powerful.
Not only did the prince and princess recover their previous expenses, but they also felt sorry for the hardship they had endured and rewarded them all.
It stands to reason that Li Chengqian has more money than before, so why is he still thinking about doing business?
"My mother is helping me arrange my marriage. Didn't I think of making the wedding more honorable?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed and he said: "This is probably not what His Highness is thinking about."
Of course Lin Xuan knew about Empress Changsun helping Li Chengqian arrange his marriage.
But for the prince's wedding, the marriage must be arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Li Chengqian can't get involved, even if he has money, he won't be able to use it.
He is no longer the novice who just traveled through time, and Li Chengqian's excuse cannot fool him.
Li Chengqian's eyes dodge a little and he said, "What else can I think about?"
"According to His Highness's expenses, it is completely enough. If His Highness wants to do business, he probably wants to get more money to give gifts." Lin Xuan stared at Li Chengqian and said.
Li Chengqian said quickly: "Yes, yes, I want to give more gifts to the future Crown Princess's family, so that the Crown Princess's face will be brighter."
"Your Highness knows that this is not what I said." Lin Xuan said calmly.
Now it's just about getting married, thinking about bringing honor to my future wife, and fooling the devil.
Li Chengqian asked for money just because he wanted to use it to win over officials.
Lin Xuan was a little disappointed with Li Chengqian. During this period, Li Chengqian had changed a lot. He thought he had changed Li Chengqian.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian, for some reason, wanted to win over the courtiers again.
Li Chengqian looked at Lin Xuan's expression and knew that he had guessed it, and said: "Qingque has become much more honest during this period, and even wanted to invite me to go horse riding, but my father's love for him has not diminished."
Lin Xuan was startled and asked quickly: "Wait a minute, King Wei invited His Highness to ride a horse?"
In history, there are two theories about Li Chengqian's leg disease.
One theory is that it was caused by illness, and another theory is that Li Tai asked Li Chengqian to ride a horse and tampered with the horse. Finally, Li Chengqian fell off the horse and injured his leg.
Although the leg was saved, it was left disabled.
It was precisely because of his disability that Li Chengqian's personality changed drastically.
Could it be that because Li Tai couldn't defeat Li Chengqian, he was ready to attack Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian saw Lin Xuan being so excited and said, "I remember your words and didn't go."
He originally thought that Li Tai had lost hope and imagined that he would show his kindness.
He originally wanted to go when he got the invitation. He really wanted to see Li Tai surrender like him.
But in the end, he thought that Lin Xuan once told him not to ride a horse.
He hesitated for a long time, but still chose to believe Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay if you don't go. No matter who invites His Highness to ride a horse in the future, Your Highness must not go."
"You mean Qingque wants to harm me?" Li Chengqian is not stupid. He didn't understand why Lin Xuan said that before. Now that Lin Xuan explained it again, he has already made a guess.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said: "I don't know, but riding a horse is dangerous. Your Highness is a rich man, so naturally you can't take risks."
There were some things that he couldn't explain to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand."
"Your Highness, why are you trying to win over officials before you tell me?" Lin Xuan asked.
Li Chengqian pondered for a while and said: "Qingque is trying to win over Li Ke, and now that he is older, he has gradually begun to have contact with some officials."
Lin Xuan was speechless. Why did Li Chengqian have no confidence at all?
But when he thought about it confidently, it was not Li Chengqian's fault.
It's normal for a prince to feel a little bit of a sense of crisis.
Although we now pay attention to the establishment of direct heirs, it is not as rigid as the Ming Dynasty.
Although before the Ming Dynasty, other dynasties basically established direct princes, there were still some who established other princes.
But in the Ming Dynasty, except for Zhu Di, all others were legitimate sons. If there was no legitimate son, the eldest son would be the eldest son. (The death of a brother does not count.)
Emperor Wanli loved Concubine Zheng throughout his life, but he accidentally favored a palace maid and gave birth to his eldest son.
Emperor Wanli spent his entire life but could not make his and Concubine Zheng's son the prince.
The eldest son, whose mother was just a palace maid and had no power, finally ascended to the throne just because he took the identity of the eldest son.
As for the Tang Dynasty, if Li Shimin wanted to change the prince, there would definitely be obstacles, but it was not as big as imagined.
And because Li Shimin got off to a bad start.
It is normal for Li Chengqian to have a sense of crisis.
