BXBX NOVEL Chapter 6: Li Ke's request
Li Yin greeted and continued to run, turned his head and bumped into a person with a "bang", Li Yin felt dizzy, as if he had hit a wooden stake, and sat down on the ground.
"Your Highness!" Jin Daqian\'s voice contained panic, he hurried over to help Li Yin up, and opened his mouth to reprimand those who blocked Li Yin\'s path: "You idiot, why are you so careless!"
Li Yin came back to his senses and saw clearly the "object" he bumped into. It turned out to be a thick-backed and bearded man. There were only a few servants in the palace. Li Yin had never seen such a person before, so he couldn\'t help but wonder. looked at Jin Daqian.
Jin Daqian understood, "My lord, didn\'t you ask me to post a notice two days ago to recruit some nursing homes? The notice has been posted these days, but no one is willing to come. No, when I opened the door this morning, this guy said He came to the palace to apply for the recruitment, I saw that he is thick and strong, so I let him in, if you are not satisfied, I will let him go immediately."
Li Yan stood up and walked around the big man, amazed, this man is not only strong, but also about 1.9 meters tall, he looks really bluffing.
"What\'s your name?" A few days ago, Lu Boyan led his family guards and broke through the siege of the servants of the palace and rushed in. He felt that it was necessary to add some force to your own Liang Palace, which is why Jin Daqian recruited people. .
"I\'m under Sima Tu!" The big man\'s voice was like a bell, like a metal stone hitting each other, frightening people\'s minds.
Li Yin stood a little far away from this guy, and his ears hurt a little, "The Prince Liang\'s Mansion is not recruited by everyone, what skills do you have?"
Simatu remained silent, glanced at the two stone lions at the gate of the palace, strode over, and lifted a stone lion over his head like a baby.
Wangfu\'s jaw immediately fell to the ground. This stone lion weighed at least seven or eight hundred catties, and Sima Tu lifted it up as if he was playing.
Li Yan\'s eyes widened. If this guy was in the 21st century, would the world weightlifting champion still have a chance to survive?
"The strong man is indeed very skilled!" Li Yin called secretly that he had found the treasure, "I don\'t know how much the strong man wants?"
Simatu patted the dust off his hands, and felt a little embarrassed at this moment, "It\'s enough to be full!"
"Take care of yourselves!" Li Yin and Jin Daqian looked at each other, both a little surprised, this requirement is too low, isn\'t it true that talents in the Tang Dynasty are worthless, Li Yin thought to himself.
Accepting Sima Tu, Li Yin was in a good mood, humming a little tune and walked towards the apse. In the past two days, Li Yin purchased another batch of shampoo for the servants of the palace to bottle, and he doesn\'t know how the progress is now.
The matter of bottling was managed by the high accountant. When Li Yin arrived at the apse, the high accountant immediately greeted him, "Your Highness!"
"How\'s it going?" Li Yin glanced at the five people who were busy.
"My lord, about 2,000 boxes are packed now, and a few people drove them out during the day and night shifts!"
Li Yan nodded: "Yes, everyone has worked hard. When this batch of goods is finished, each person will reward 500 coins!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" The five hundred dollars was almost equivalent to their one-month salary, and the five servants who were a little sluggish immediately became energetic as if they had been rubbed with Indian oil, and their combat effectiveness soared.
Shampoo is now well-known in Chang\'an, orders from the palace surged, and 400 boxes were far from enough. Empress Changsun had already included shampoo in the palace procurement list. Of course, Li Yin was happy to see this.
The imperial palace is certainly a good market, but Li Yin understands that the real money-making market is outside the imperial city. This can be seen from the businessmen from all over the world gathered outside the palace waiting for Li Yin to meet them. Their sense of smell for money is no worse than Li Yin. Where to go.
Li Yin was thinking about it, when a hearty voice came from outside the door, "Liulang, what are you up to?" When the words came, people also arrived in the hall.
"Third brother? Why are you here?" Li Yin was very familiar with this voice, and it was the first voice he heard after he returned from a dead body.
Li Ke opened his fan and slapped it a few times smartly, "What? You are not welcome!"
"Don\'t dare, I\'m too happy, this is it?" Standing beside Li Ke was a fat man dressed as a business traveler. This guy looked at the shampoo on the floor with wolf-like eyes from the moment he entered the door, which made Li Yin feel very sad. accurate.
"Meet Your Highness Sixth, the younger one is Tong Nian, a businessman from Chang\'an City!" Before Li Ke could speak, this guy began to introduce himself.
Li Yin returned a salute, and probably understood the intention of Li Ke\'s visit this time. Sure enough, after talking nonsense with Li Yin for a while, Li Ke got to the point:
"Sixth, your shampoos are very famous now, and there are countless buyers, so you don\'t plan to sell them outside the palace."
As soon as Li Ke\'s voice fell, Tong Nian immediately pricked up his ears and waited for Li Yin\'s answer, which showed that he was very concerned about this matter.
"Of course not!" Li Yin glanced at Tong Nian and said nothing.
Li Ke understood, smiled and said: "Old Tong, you wait for me outside, I have something to talk to my sixth brother."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Tong Nian reluctantly left the room.
Tong Nian left, Li Yin said: "Third brother, why did you get involved with these businessmen?"
Li Ke said with a bitter face, "Lao Liu, you know that I like to make friends with famous people, and the expenses of coming and going are huge, and the monthly salary is not enough at all. Who would have thought that after Tong Nian knew about it, he would pay a lot of money to the palace every year. , Recently, I don’t know where he found out about the shampoo, so he kept begging me to bring him to find out the news. I took other people’s money, but it’s also short-handed!”
Before Zhenguan, the status of merchants was low. Although Li Shimin raised the status of merchants after he ascended the throne, the old ideas cannot be changed in a short while. Finding a backer, these things are very common in Chang\'an, and everyone agrees by default, otherwise they only rely on monthly salary, how can they get so much money to have fun.
After all, Li Ke is his own brother, and he plans to start selling to the outside world recently. He just wants to be a pure wholesaler, and he is too lazy to organize a caravan to sell. In this way, he has to rely on these merchants. It is not bad to sell Li Ke as a favor now.
After thinking for a while, Li Yin said: "I understand what you mean, I will give him a spot!"
"Sixth brother, thank you for being here!" Li Ke sweated. The former Li Yin didn\'t buy it from anyone. For this reason, he was worried before coming here. He didn\'t expect Li Yin to agree so quickly. .
Send off Li Ke, Li Yin went back and changed his clothes. To be honest, he hasn\'t visited Chang\'an City until now. Now that the affairs of the palace are gradually getting on track, he has leisure time.
Jin Daqian asked the servants of the palace to prepare a carriage, but Li Yin rejected the suggestion to let several servants accompany him, and went to the central area of Chang\'an City.
During the Tang Dynasty, Chang’an City was the most luxurious international city in the world at that time. In addition to the local residents of the Tang Dynasty, there were many businessmen from countries in the Western Regions. Among them, many countries sent overseas students to study in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, It is not a strange thing to be greeted by a blond foreigner on the street of Chang\'an City.
According to historical records, the surrounding area of Chang’an City at this time was more than 70 miles. The palace city where the emperor’s concubines lived and the imperial city where officials worked was the most extensive Waiguo City. The Waiguo City had a total of 108 squares, dotted with temples and mansions. There are East Market and West Market on the east and west sides, and the length and width are about 1,000 meters. There are row upon row of warehouses and shops. It is the most prosperous and lively area in Chang\'an City.
Li Yin is now in Dongshi, which is one of the two cities, and the scene in front of him shocked him unceasingly. He saw the crowds in Dongshi, walking shoulder to shoulder, vendors yelling one after another, actors and actresses showing their talents, I will sing after you sing .
Li Yin followed the flow of people and walked forward. He was dazzled by the dazzling array of goods, including fruits, melon seeds, fabrics, and dried meat. He was also slightly surprised by the variety of varieties.
With a yell, cheers erupted from the crowd, and then the flow of people diverted, and Li Yin was dragged to a certain place. When the flow of people stopped again, he came to a beautifully shaped building on the side of the street.
On the second floor, a woman in red tulle is dancing with her waist like a water snake, and she keeps throwing winks at the common people downstairs who are addicted to their eyes. Under the leadership of the leader, he walked in freely.
"The Lichun Courtyard is amazing, and all the methods of attracting customers have been used. The dancer dancing upstairs is said to be a princess from a barbarian tribe, and she looks like a fairy."
"Isn\'t it? I heard that pervert Lu Boyan failed to pursue the number one oiran, so he changed his target to her, out of shame."
"At least they have the capital to pursue, so we can only take advantage of this time to live a dry addiction!"
"This brother knows so much about the inside story, he seems to be a frequent visitor to Huajing, and he actually knows about Lu Boyan." Someone joked.
"Ahem, keep your voice down, my wife is shopping in front!"
"..."
Amidst the discussions of the people around, Li Yin raised his head to look at the plaque in front of the small building, and it really read the words "Li Chun Yuan" on it.
The dancer\'s performance was like a flash in the pan. Amid the sound of sighs, the people gathered in front of the Lichun Courtyard dispersed again. Li Yin was about to leave, when there was a loud noise, and dozens of people dressed as servants blocked the crowd. At the entrance of Lichun Courtyard, a middle-aged man in armor, about fifty years old, rushed into Lichun Courtyard without saying a word, and there were countless screams in the building, and then, a disheveled man, A person somewhat similar to the middle-aged man ran out from the Lichun Courtyard, and the middle-aged man followed closely behind, dancing with an ax like a tiger, as if he wanted to split the youth into pieces.
With an expression of urgency, the young master looked left and right as if he was looking for an escape route. When he saw Li Yin standing in front of the door watching a play, the young master seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, "Your Highness, help me..."
