Chapter 5: effect
"My sons and ministers see the mother!" In Ziyun Pavilion, Li Min bowed to the beautiful woman in the phoenix robe who was sitting in the main seat, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and this time it was too much fun, and the eldest grandson empress actually came up.
"Get up, come to me." Empress Changsun had a melodious voice, with her astonishing beauty and gentle demeanor, it's no wonder that Li Shimin was fascinated by it.
Li Yin walked over as he said, and Empress Changsun took him to look at him carefully for a while, then turned to Concubine Yang beside her: "It's true that Yin'er is less hostile!"
Concubine Yang smiled all over her face, "My sister has always had the most accurate eyes on people, Min'er has sincerely repented, and I hope my sister will speak a few words of kindness in front of the emperor!"
"Sister, don't worry, Min'er is still young. When anyone is young and frivolous, I will persuade the emperor!" After finishing speaking, she glanced at the concubine who came, she remembered the business, and looked at Li Min, "Min'er , I heard that you bought a batch of miraculous shampoo from a mysterious Persian businessman, I wonder if there is such a thing!"
Li Yin said respectfully: "I have indeed bought a batch of these things, and my concubine has been using them for a while, this time I am going to send a few bottles to her mother!" Li Yin secretly called it bad luck, how dare he accept it Empress Changsun's money, but if he doesn't accept it, how can he collect money from other concubines?
Empress Changsun saw Li Yin's embarrassment, she understood it after a little thought, and said with a light smile: "Min'er was fined a monthly salary, so how dare I let you give it away for nothing, what kind of 'rejoice' are you?" How much is the bottle?"
Looking at Empress Changsun gratefully, Li Yin said the price that he had thought about a long time ago, "Two hundred dollars a bottle!"
All the concubines nodded. The price was not outrageous. They all whispered to each other excitedly looking at the boxes of shampoo being brought in.
"Leave two boxes for me!" Empress Changsun had heard about this miraculous shampoo for a long time. As the mother of a country, she paid more attention to her appearance, but she was too embarrassed to speak up before, but now Li Yin is openly selling it in ** She could just as easily buy some.
When he was in the palace, Li Yin asked Jin Daqian to pack these rejoices according to the quantity of ten bottles in a box, and he packed a total of 420 boxes.
The two boxes are twenty bottles, that is, four taels of silver. For a queen, this can only be regarded as pocket money. The maid who accompanied her paid the money. Sit and sit, Li Yin understands her mood, she is going back to try it out.
Empress Changsun paid the money, and the other concubines lost their temper and began to pay one by one. Li Yin's shampoo was sold out in a short while.
The eight hundred and forty copper coins arrived in his pocket, and Li Yin is quite satisfied with the sale. Shampoo is a consumable, and it can continue to be sold after it is used up.
The concubines left satisfied, Concubine Yang said to Li Yin who was still secretly happy: "The Empress is taking care of your face this time, do you understand?"
Li Yin nodded. According to the history books, Empress Changsun is well-educated, gentle and virtuous, and she is not fabricated out of thin air. "My son understands that in the future, I will send some to my mother on a regular basis."
"My son really understands things!" Concubine Yang felt relieved.
In Prince Liang's Mansion, Jin Daqian put a bag of copper coins on the accountant's desk, "Old Gao, get it into the account!"
"Money for selling shampoo?" Now those in the palace don't know that the sixth prince has gone to the palace to do business.
Jin Daqian nodded emphatically: "Our Sixth Highness is really a prodigal son. He is good to us servants. Your Highness said that each servant of the palace will reward two hundred coins."
Gao accountant rubbed his ears, and said in disbelief: "Really? He used to deduct our wages before it was too late!"
"It's not true. He told me personally. It used to be in the past. You haven't noticed the change of our Highness since falling into the well. He always smiled at me when he got up in the morning. The third son in the kitchen made a mistake last time. He wouldn't allow me to beat me up with a board, saying that education should be the main thing."
"I just hope he can stay like this forever. Originally, I thought about quitting the accountant, but now that you say that, I'm a little hesitant!"
Jin Daqian slapped the table, startling the high accountant, "I suggest you don't say goodbye. Your Highness said that when the business makes more money in the future, we will give us a long-term salary. I planned to leave some time ago, but now I don't want to leave." gone!"
"You old boy!" The high accountant stroked his beard and laughed.
Jin Daqian's round body also trembled with the laughter.
"Where can I buy Rejoice?" According to the statistics of relevant people, this sentence became the most frequently used interrogative sentence in Chang'an City in the seventh year of Zhenguan.
The use of Rejoice by the concubines in the palace has achieved initial results, but it is widely used in the palace, so they put the capital of showing off outside the palace. When they go home to visit relatives, they frequently participate in various celebrity gatherings to show off their hair. The beautiful hair gradually brought a thought of "If you don't use Rejoice, you will lose your status" to the aristocrats and ladies in Chang'an. For a while, there was a buying craze in Chang'an, but the shampoo was firmly controlled by Li Yin. , other people's cottages can't copycats, but Li Yin is waiting for this effect.
There will never be an impenetrable wall in the world. Soon, the news that the shampoo came from the sixth prince spread throughout Chang'an City.
"Your Highness Sixth, I miss you so much!" A young man who looked like a comedian broke through the obstacles of his servants and found Li Yin who was fishing by the pond of the Wangfu.
At this time, Li Yin was wearing a straw hat, and his eyes were fixed on the water surface for a moment, as if he didn't hear this person at all.
Brother Young Master smiled awkwardly, waved away Yun'er who was fanning beside Li Yin, sat down beside him, and took over Yun'er's work.
"I haven't seen you for a few months, His Highness Six is still as handsome and powerful as before, mysterious and unpredictable!" The son continued to boast, but Li Yin still pretended not to hear.
"Your Majesty Sixth, are you fishing?" Brother Gongzi has nothing to say, but Li Yin is still as calm as Mount Tai, you don't move me.
"Brother, I was wrong! I'm not a thing, I should have come a long time ago, I slap myself, I slap myself!" Brother Young Master began to self-mutilate, two slaps made a loud noise, and Jin Daqian couldn't stand it any longer , This is acting with life!
At this moment, Li Yin's fishhook finally moved, and Li Yin lifted it up, but accidentally, the fishhook got entangled with a branch on the pool.
Seeing the self-harming young master, without saying a word, he jumped into the water with a "Gudong", unhooked the fishhook, and exposed two rows of white front teeth to Li Yin.
Sighed, Li Yin was convinced, and really couldn't get rid of this guy. Since the news spread that the shampoo was sold by Li Yin, this guy found the Wangfu.
Li Yin remembered this person, one of his bad friends back then, he didn't want to see him at first, but this guy really used the word "cheap" to the fullest, which made Li Yin feel ashamed.
"Lu Boyan, you are the son of a dignified Minister of the Ministry of Industry, why are you so shameless!" Li Yin pointed to the son in the pool, and brought out his father to humiliate him.
The drenched Lu Boyan almost shed tears of grievance, if it wasn't for begging for a few bottles of shampoo, why would he spoil himself so badly? Climbing up with the fish that Li Yin caught, Lu Boyan had a grief-stricken expression on his face, "Your Highness, I was wrong. I was wrong. From now on, you only need to say hello, and I'll be there at any time. Ma, as long as you can forgive me..."
"Okay! Alright! You must be attracted to some girl and want to use shampoo to be courteous!" Lu Boyan's reputation as a hungry ghost is all over Chang'an, and it can only be a woman who can make him so shameless.
Lu Boyan said with a sneer: "Your Highness the Sixth Highness knows me well. Just a few months after you left, Chang'an opened a college called Lichunyuan. The girl there is really a water spirit, and there is even an oiran. Called Luo Xiaoyi, she is even more beautiful!"
Wiping his saliva, Lu Boyan continued: "My little brother was lucky enough to meet that oiran once, and he has been haunted by it ever since, but that Luo Xiaoyi doesn't care about money or wealth, and only meets customers based on his preferences. Turn him away, Your Highness, you must help brother!" Pretending to wipe away the tears that he didn't have.
Li Yan was so annoyed by him that it seriously affected his quality of life, so he waved his hand: "Butler Qian, give him two bottles!".
Lu Boyan smiled when he heard the words, "Your Highness, I'll go then, and I'll visit another day!" Pidianpidian went with Butler Jin.
"Who are they all!" Li Min rubbed his brows in pain. They really are a bunch of cronies.
In the past few days, Li Yin met many old acquaintances, many people came to "visit the sick", and he also received a lot of gifts, but he knew that these guys were all ordered by his wife. In the name of stubbornness, who would want to deal with him? It's the so-called courtesy and reciprocity. This is the rule. Li Yin also knew what they were doing, so he returned the gift with shampoo.
Li Yin will not be at a disadvantage. This is exactly what he wants. When these officials' wives and masters use their own shampoo, it will be time for the money to flow in. It will not be easy for the standard of living to rise. , especially for these celebrities.
The night was fading away. After approving the memorial in the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, picked up a secret letter that had just been delivered. On the letter was written the spy reports of various spies in Chang'an City, and Li Yin's name was impressively on it.
"Hmph, not doing business properly!" Li Shimin scolded, but his tone was not very angry. For him, it is better for Li Yin to concentrate on doing business now than to do nothing all day long before, and he is very bullying.
Leaving the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin went directly to the Yanxi Hall of the Empress Changsun, "Speaking of which, this kid Li Yin has done a good deed, his shampoo is really good to use.", Li Shimin sniffed himself floating Fragrant hair comes to mind.
"What is the emperor thinking?" After Li Shimin came, Empress Changsun asked her servants to prepare meals, but during the meal, Li Shimin was distracted from time to time, and Empress Changsun couldn't help asking.
"I'm thinking about my sons!" The change of Xuanwumen will always be a pain in his heart, so after he ascended the throne, he has always attached great importance to the education of his children, and he doesn't want this kind of tragedy to happen to his sons one day.
"You want to say yes, Lao Liu!" Empress Changsun pursed her lips and chuckled, "I think the current Lao Liu deserves support. Haven't you always encouraged business and industry? Now Lao Liu is a prince involved in business. Does the businessman value it?"
Since ancient times, all dynasties have emphasized agriculture and suppressed business. They believed that businessmen were not engaged in production and their status was low. When the Tang Dynasty was established, Li Shimin changed his previous style and strongly supported business. He believed that only when business was prosperous could the court collect more taxes. Using these taxes for the people will benefit the country and the family without any harm. It has to be said that in that era, Li Shimin's thoughts were beyond the times.
"That's what you said, let the sixth child do it, I want to see what tricks he can do!" Li Shimin's knot was untied, and his mood became more comfortable.
