"I heard that this brothel also has a great history. It seems that beauties from all over Qizhou have been searched by His Majesty the King of Shu. Do you really not want to go and have a look?"
Qi Yuanshou was also a good person. Seeing that Li Shimin's family members were around, Li Shimin only heard these words.
It's just that he and Li Shimin were so close, it made several guards beside him nervous. Some of them had their hands on their waist knives. If Qi Yuanshou dared to make any rash move, they would step forward without hesitation and capture Qi Yuanshou.
Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, he was really curious, but his face was still calm.
It's just that he felt that Li Ke's actions were a bit unusual. He was quite happy to hear that he was building cities and roads.
But the dignified prince actually opened another brothel. Is that a serious business?
If this matter spreads, won't it lose the royal family's face?
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, and then said to Qi Yuanshou: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Qi, for your advice. If I have some free time, I would like to see what the King of Shu is up to!"
Qi Yuanshou didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Shimin's tone. He just thought that Li Shimin, a foreigner, didn't understand Fengyue.
He also smiled and bowed: "Okay, I'll take my leave now."
Seeing Qi Yuanshou turn around and leave, Li Shimin's face turned gloomy.
He turned to look at Fang Xuanling: "I remember that Quan Wanji seemed to be the gentleman who taught the King of Shu how to read."
"It is exactly what your Majesty said. When the King of Shu was granted the title of Qizhou, Quan Wanji was serving as the chief historian in the palace of the King of Shu." Fang Xuanling thought for a moment and then thought about it.
Seeing Li Shimin narrow his eyes slightly, this made Fang Xuanling even more confused.
"What a wonderful Quan Wanji. I asked him to accompany the King of Shu in the first place precisely because this man was upright and dared to speak out."
"The purpose of letting him follow the King of Shu is to regulate the words and deeds of the King of Shu, so as not to damage the royal majesty. But I never expected that such a scandal would happen today, and I would even see it!"
"Then what on earth is Quan Wanji doing!"
Fang Xuanling's heart tightened and she was about to speak when she heard Li Shimin say coldly: "I'm going to the brothel today to see for myself! If he really dares to show up, I'll skin him!"
…
A carriage was slowly moving towards Qiuyue Pavilion.
In the car, Li Ke sneezed for no reason.
"Damn it, someone must be cursing me behind my back."
He pinched his nose and looked at Chen Tao beside him: "How are the preparations at Qiuyue Pavilion?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, I did everything according to your instructions. I even showed it to Mr. Quan a few days ago and he was very satisfied."
Li Ke couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
Li Ke knew that Quan Wanji had always been upright, and even he was very satisfied with it. This also made Li Ke look forward to the layout of Qiuyue Pavilion.
"In addition to the opening of Qiuyue Pavilion today, the repair of the official road must not be delayed. There should be no problem over there, right?"
Since leaving the capital, Li Ke's first impact on Qizhou is that Qizhou's official system is much worse than that of Chang'an City.
The most intuitive feeling is that the further north you go, the more bumpy the carriage becomes.
The road is difficult to travel, the transportation of goods is inconvenient, transportation costs will increase, and the efficiency of the industries under his control will not be improved.
As the old saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.
Inefficiency means lack of money, and even a large vassal palace costs a lot of money.
Where does the money come from? The subsidies from the imperial court alone are simply not enough.
How can I enjoy the life of a feudal king without money?
"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything will be fine."
"We have also notified wealthy businessmen from all over Qizhou, and many of them have come."
Hearing that all the wealthy businessmen had arrived, Li Ke nodded with satisfaction.
"You did the job very neatly. I will reward you when you finish the big things today."
Chen Shou's eyes became bright when he heard this, and he thanked Li Ke again and again for his reward.
Those servants who knew Li Ke knew that Li Ke was always generous with his actions, and the prince's rewards were naturally generous.
Chen Shou felt happy.
Just at this moment, the carriage had stopped.
"Your Majesty, Qiuyue Pavilion has arrived."
Hearing this, Chen Shou hurried over and opened the curtain, and Li Ke stepped out of the carriage.
Looking up, he saw a luxuriously decorated high-rise building standing in front of him. This was the center of Licheng. Li Ke had spent a lot of thought on it when he bought this land.
Looking left and right, there were cars and people coming and going all around, making it look very lively.
If you go upstairs and take a look, you will feel a variety of things.
When Li Ke walked into Qiuyue Pavilion, Chen Shou hurriedly followed him and flattered him: "His Highness is so wise that he opened Qiuyue Pavilion here to see how lively it is. I'm afraid Chang'an City is just like this." Bar."
Hearing this, Li Ke couldn't help but laugh: "That's just because you are ignorant. How can this compare with Chang'an City? But maybe one day, Licheng can develop to the scale of Chang'an City."
Just as he was talking, someone suddenly rushed out of Qiuyue Pavilion.
It was a woman, wearing a red dress, and her figure was even hotter. When she ran over, her plump white rabbits were still trembling.
Chen Shou on the side swallowed his saliva when he saw it.
"Ouch! Isn't this His Highness the King of Shu? I heard that you are coming over today, and I am waiting to serve you."
This person is none other than the old bustard of Qiuyue Pavilion, Gu Shiniang.
Gu Shiniang also owned a brothel before, but after being taken over by Li Ke, Li Ke asked her to come to Qiuyue Pavilion to take care of things here.
"Let's go. If today's grand event can be successful, you should take the lead."
Gu Shiniang's eyes sparkled, full of unconcealable joy, but she immediately became humble again: "Your Highness is polite, but I don't dare to take credit. After all, the whole Qiuyue Pavilion, from the layout to the decoration, is not all your Highness." idea?"
"I have been working hard in this industry for many years, but I have never seen anyone with such fantastic ideas as His Highness."
"This time Qiuyue Pavilion opens, it will definitely become an instant hit! Even the girls in the building say so."
Li Ke smiled, and Gu Shiniang quickly turned sideways to let Li Ke in.
Li Ke and Chen Shou entered Qiuyue Pavilion together.
But at this time, Li Ke didn't notice that someone was watching him restrainedly not far behind him.
Just outside Qiuyue Loft, not far from the roadside teahouse.
Li Shimin and others are sitting here.
Seeing the crowds of people in front of Qiuyue Pavilion, and Li Ke's majestic appearance of walking into the brothel, Li Shimin's face looked very cold.
This behavior frightened Fang Xuanling, the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, to the point where he did not dare to speak.
Several times he wanted to open his mouth to dissuade the emperor from being impulsive, but he swallowed the words in his stomach.
What I'm afraid of is that if I say something bad, it will add fuel to the fire.
Queen Changsun next to her had a curious look on her face. She looked at Qiuyue Pavilion not far away: "Is this brothel Ke'er's property? I didn't expect it to be so big. It seems that he also put some effort into it. yes."
After saying this, Fang Xuanling next to him almost fainted.
The Queen's words touched Li Shimin's nerves even more.
