Capital Datang

Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather in Chang'an in October turned cold. The leaves on the trees first turned from green to yellow, and then were blown off by the bleak autumn wind.People also took off their thin summer clothes and began to put on thick autumn clothes.

During these two months, a lot of news happened in the city of Chang'an, such as Yan Wang Li You was imprisoned again; fireworks were flying all over the sky on August [-]th; the perfume that attracted countless wealthy ladies was also on sale; and The briquette stove and so on were just launched two days ago, but the most discussed topic at the moment is still the marriage of Liang Wang and Li Yin.

It is now late October, and two days later will be the wedding day of Liang Wang Li Yin. This year, Li Yin can be said to be the most popular figure in the entire Tang Dynasty. He is not only a gentleman, but also invented many things that benefit the country and the people.For example, the original fried tea has been promoted by the patent department. Anyone can make fried tea and sell it as long as they pay a patent fee.This year's autumn tea and winter tea have already been made into fried tea by many merchants. Although the market share of this new type of tea is still very small, it has the potential to compete with traditional tea.

In addition to fried tea, there are two emerging industries of cement and coal. Not to mention the significance of the emergence of these two new products, these two industries alone have directly or indirectly fed hundreds of thousands of people, and even many People made a fortune because of this, and the merchants or wealthy nobles who first invested in these two industries all made a lot of money, so no matter the Tang Dynasty, as long as the name of Li Liulang is mentioned, they are all praised , and his wedding, of course, attracted the attention of countless people.

In the current Prince Liang Mansion, everyone is busy up and down, and the mansion has been thoroughly cleaned several times in the past two days.Now the wedding scene has begun to be decorated with lights and festoons.As the Chief Internal Affairs Officer of the Wangfu, Gao Zhong is so busy that he can't wait to transform into a three-headed and six-armed Nezha. He can be seen everywhere in the Wangfu.Capital Datang 101

In fact, Gao Zhong didn't have to be so busy at all.As early as a few days ago, all the stewards dispatched by Prince Liang's Mansion had returned, such as Liu Hu who was in charge of the fried tea affairs, Yang Jiu who was in charge of the brewery, and the stewards who were in charge of the coal mine, etc.These people can stand alone outside, and it is of course easy to handle some wedding affairs, but Gao Zhong, as an old man who has watched Li Yin grow up, is not at ease with Liu Hu and Yang Jiu, and has to personally ask about everything. Okay, but in the end, not only was I tired, but the servants who were doing the work were also complaining.

Compared to Gao Zhong's busy schedule, Li Yin, who is the core figure of the wedding, seemed very leisurely. A month ago, he finally satisfied the three plague instructors in the Ministry of Rites.The etiquette training has been passed, and Li Yin will have nothing to do next, and other wedding matters will naturally be handled by other officials and servants of the palace.

Compared with other places in Wangfu.However, Li Yin's study seemed very quiet.In the room next to the window, Li Yin had someone make some changes.A briquette stove with a long chimney was added, which can not only keep warm, but also boil water for making tea. When not in use, the fire outlet is covered with a cover, and the gas is discharged from the chimney to the outside of the window, so there is no need to worry about gas poisoning when staying inside.

Not far from the stove, there is a large reclining chair covered with thick fur. Li Yin is dressed in unlined clothes and reclines comfortably on it. Wen'er and Hua'er served, looking indescribably comfortable and carefree.

"Your Highness, are you listening to the servant girl's report?" Wang Xijun, who was sitting on the side and working for him during this period of time, looked at Li Yin and shouted in dissatisfaction, seeing that Li Yin was focused on reading.

"Ah~oh~, tell me what you want, I'm listening!" Li Yin stared at the book without raising his head and said absent-mindedly. He is now watching the critical moment of the Battle of Chibi, and his mind is focused on it I didn't care what Wang Xijun said at all.Although the content of the Three Kingdoms has long been familiar, every time I read it again, I will have some new feelings, which is the most attractive part of the Three Kingdoms.

"Huh, forget it if you don't listen, next time I'll be greedy for tens of thousands of pennies, and you won't even be able to find the account!" Seeing that Li Yin still refused to put down the book, he threw the account in his hand at him with pity. Fall, said bitterly.

Now that Li Yin finally broke away from the plot in the book, he was not angry, picked up the account with a smile, and then stuffed it into Xijun's hand, saying shamelessly: "Hey, I'm so sorry, I know I was wrong, I won’t read this book, and I must concentrate on listening to you from now on!”

Seeing Li Yin's rascal appearance, Wen'er and Hua'er covered their mouths and snickered. Although Wang Xijun was angry, seeing Li Yin's tired and lazy appearance, he felt angry and funny, so he had no choice but to sit down again.

"Xi Jun, now that the briquettes have been launched, how is the effect?" In order to make up for the mistake just now, Li Yin asked proactively.But Wang Xijun gave him a blank stare when she heard it, because she had already mentioned this question just now, but Li Yin was only focused on reading and didn't hear it at all.

It was rare for Li Yin to cooperate so actively, and Wang Xijun couldn't bear to regenerate his anger, so he said patiently: "Your Highness, since the introduction of briquettes and matching stoves, although some people still dare not use them because they are not familiar with them, but in Driven by the members of the Carbon Coal Association, many people took the lead in using the honeycomb coal stove. Now many people have seen the benefits of this kind of stove, and began to take the initiative to buy the stove and install it at home. As the weather gets colder, most people in Chang'an will use our briquette stoves."

"Okay! Xijun, you did a great job!" Li Yin immediately praised the promotion of honeycomb coal stoves so quickly. He handed over the affairs of the Carbon Coal Industry Association to Wang Xijun, and the honeycomb coal was proposed by Li Yin. So the promotion of this matter fell on Wang Xijun, who did not expect her to do so well.

"Hehe, actually it's nothing. Our briquette burns cleanly and is economical, and with the cooperation of various companies in the association, if I can't even do this well, won't I fail His Highness's expectations?" Wang Xijun Hearing Li Yin's praise, he said with a hint of shame on his face.

"Haha~, no matter how good the stuff is, it can't cover up your contribution to Xijun!" Li Yin laughed loudly, and then asked with some complacency: "By the way, what's the reaction from the Taiyuan Wang family?"

When Li Yin asked this question, Wang Xijun was also shocked. Although their Wang family was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, because of their grandfather, Wang Xijun did not have any good feelings for the Wang family of Taiyuan. Looks very positive.

"His Royal Highness, it is estimated that the Taiyuan Wang family has received the news of the briquettes, but because the time is too short, there is no action yet, but I think the latter plan we prepared should be implemented." Wang Xijun said excitedly.

"Well, how is the preparation of the plan? How do you plan to do it?" Li Yin said worriedly. When Wang Xijun saw his plan for the Wang family in Taiyuan, he was immediately thrown aside, saying that he didn't understand anything at all. It was called Shang Zhan, and then he made another plan himself, and Li Yin only knew the general content of it.

"Your Highness, don't worry, Mr. Li Yifu of the Patent Department has already submitted the memorial. I heard that the matter has been approved. In addition, all the families in the association are also ready, and people have been sent out. As long as Mr. Li is in trouble , will spread the news immediately, and then we will wait to see the excitement of the Taiyuan Wang family!" Wang Xijun said fiercely, she is a woman, and she has never received the favor of the Taiyuan Wang family, her father Wang Zihao because of his grandfather On the contrary, she suffered a lot in front of the Wang family in Taiyuan, so revenge on the Wang family in Taiyuan was indeed a very hateful thing for her.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news then!" Li Yin also said excitedly. It was the first time he faced such a thousand-year-old family. Even though he was a prince, he still felt an uncontrollable tension.Capital Datang 101

"Yeah!" Wang Xijun nodded. She didn't feel nervous at all, but was very excited. Then she paused and said, "Your Highness, perfume sales are very hot these days. Should we expand production?"

Since Li Yin gave the perfume to his mother Concubine Yang last time, the name of the perfume has been spread throughout the Tang aristocratic class through the mouths of the princesses and princesses who attended the banquet, especially those women who love beauty. It is because they are extremely eager for perfume. For example, Princess Jiangxia and Princess Hejian visited Li Yin personally to ask for perfume.

Li Yin didn't want to spend too much energy on luxury goods such as perfume, so he handed over the matter to Wang Xijun and asked her to set up a small-scale perfume workshop based on the original craftsman. Gao, but he still underestimated the madness of women. The perfume produced in the perfume workshop can't meet the demand of the market. Wang Xijun has asked to expand the production scale more than once.

"Well, it's okay to expand production, but you must control the quality well, don't produce any inferior perfumes, and try to distinguish high, medium, and low grades. If you want to do it, you must follow the rules of this industry. Decide." Li Yin thought for a while and said, it's not that he doesn't want to make this money, it's just that he doesn't have much time now, so he doesn't want to be distracted by such irrelevant things, but judging from the current situation, he It's okay if you don't do it.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this maid understands!" Wang Xijun said happily when Li Yin finally let go.As a businessman, it is the most painful thing to see countless money and not earn it.

Speaking of perfume, Li Yin suddenly thought of something he had confessed a long time ago, so he asked, "Xi Jun, did I ask the person who offered a reward to find it last time?"
