Wang Tao pondered for a long time, and then he handed over his hand and said: "Your Majesty, things like glass, sugar, powerful pills, and wine brewing are all controlled by the senior officials of the Shu Palace. These people have been favored by the King of Shu. If you want them to rebel, is it right? It’s possible, no matter how much money you give, it’s still impossible…”
"The King of Shu has investigated in the past few days. The prince once spent a lot of money to poach people, but all ended in failure. When the King of Shu learned about it, he humiliated the prince in person."
In fact, he also found out that the prince Li Tai of their family had also poached others and became disgraced.
As expected, Li Tai's face turned dark. This Wang Tao, which pot should he not open?
"But the perfume business that has just started to be sold recently is in the hands of a woman. In Chang'an City, and even in the entire Tang Dynasty, this woman's name is now known to everyone."
"She is called the Perfume Lady."
"Your Highness, I have been investigating this woman in the past few days. He used to be the oiran of Wanhualou. Later, Wanhualou was given to the King of Shu by a mysterious person as a wedding gift. This female oiran also became the King of Shu's. .”
"Later, after the Prince of Shu developed the perfume, he handed over the perfume business to this woman. She was in charge of everything from perfume production to sales."
"My subordinates think that this woman can be fought for."
Li Tai knew that Li Ke's perfume business was very profitable, but he didn't know that such a profitable thing was managed by a woman. So, this woman must be very good.
Seeing Li Tai deep in thought, Wang Tao continued to add: "Your Majesty, the Cloth Shop of Prince Shu's Mansion is also managed by this woman."
"It is said that the down jacket was made by this woman."
A strange look appeared on Li Tai's face, and he smiled and said, "This woman is interesting."
"what is her name?"
Wang Tao said: "Liu Yixuan!"
"This name sounds familiar..."
He suddenly remembered that when Heaven and Earth opened, this woman was the host and introduced everything in Heaven and Earth to everyone. He had followed his father there.
She is a very beautiful woman!
"Lin Bei, please make an appointment with her for me. I want to discuss cooperation with her in person."
Being a woman, she will have her weaknesses.
And women are the most fickle.
If she doesn't recognize her, don't blame me for being rude and cruel.
"In addition, we must continue to follow up on other industries. We can't just give up. If it doesn't work, we can use external forces to intervene."
As for the external forces Li Tai mentioned, it is unknown whether they are other aristocratic families or forces outside the Tang Dynasty.
"You must know that this king needs money very much now."
"If you want to make money from those merchants in Jiangdong, don't expect too much. At the beginning, I just wanted to rely on them to drive away those aristocratic families in Jiangdong."
"They will just make a fuss in Jiangdong."
"Wang Tao, I still have to rely on your Wang family."
Wang Tao nodded, bowed and said, "I'll write to my grandfather again."
"Dang Dang Dang..."
Suddenly, the bell hanging on the roof outside the study rang.
The three of them all stood up and looked outside with vigilance. Unless someone unstoppable came to Yue Wang Mansion, the bell would not ring.
"Someone is coming!"
"Keep the door of the study ajar, and you will immediately help me deal with these memorials. If you cannot make a decision, send them to me, and I will deal with them."
The three people immediately divided the work and quickly reviewed the memorial.
Outside Prince Yue's Mansion.
Li Shimin was so angry that he was furious. After he came out angrily, he saw a nice pot of welcoming pine trees in the yard, so he asked the accompanying eunuch to move it to the palace.
And he also threatened Hai Zhu and asked Hai Zhu to bring out the best tea and wine, otherwise he would kill Hai Zhu, saying that Hai Zhu was bullying the people in Chang'an City.
Hai Zhu was stunned instantly. The prince was so angry that his father ran away. The prince's father actually caught such a small person like him to vent his anger. This was really a pig's anger vented on a dog.
What about the generosity of the king?
Haizhu had no choice but to take out tea and wine and offered them to Li Shimin with both hands.
Li Shimin took the things from Prince Shu's palace, snorted coldly, turned around, got on the carriage and left.
He was originally going back to the palace, but on the way he thought he went to the third child's place, and almost got mad to death. Then he went to the fourth child's place. Although the fourth child was not as capable as the third child, he was a good son, obedient and well-behaved. , sensible, and filial.
But when he arrived at the gate, the guard at the gate almost sent him away angrily.
Li Shimin went to his son's house, but the guard at his son's door refused to let him in. He said that the King of Yue had ordered that no one should enter the Prince of Yue's mansion.
What's the meaning?
Can't you even come here?
Damn it, I've screwed you. In an instant, those two unlucky guys were beaten up by Li Shu and then captured.
When the people in the palace learned that it was His Majesty who was here, their faces turned pale with fright and they knelt on the ground.
The housekeeper Laima Hu quickly pulled a rope, which was the bell connected to the Yue King's study.
Li Shimin had a dark face and said coldly: "What is that traitor plotting to be so shameless?"
"Is he going to rebel?"
Laimahu quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the prince is reviewing the memorial in the study."
"There have been many people coming to the Royal Palace in the past two days. They all come to ask for help from the Prince or to give gifts. The Prince is very annoyed by these people, so he ordered that no one can enter the Palace. The guards outside don't know you at all. This is Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Li Shimin ignored the palace steward, but under the leadership of Li Shu, he went straight to the study of King Yue. He just wanted to see what Qingque was doing?
His eldest brother had just been deposed, was he so eager to become the prince?
Li Shimin really doesn't know that Li Tai is pulling people everywhere!
He just turned a blind eye. After all, after becoming a prince, he also needs a team.
When everyone came outside Li Tai's study, Li Shimin stood at the door and listened.
If Li Tai rebelled, he wouldn't mind losing another prince.
In the study.
"Your Majesty, this memorial needs your decision."
"Your Majesty, according to the rules, this money has been allocated. Why is the governor of Yangzhou still asking you for money?"
"The people must be paid accordingly for their work. It is simply unreasonable for these corrupt officials to wait for me to go back and ask them to eat and spit out whatever they want."
Li Tai said coldly, and then said: "Bring it here, I will approve it myself."
"Your Majesty, the Chamber of Commerce said that they are willing to fund the construction of the Clothing Factory, but they want a 10% profit. Do you agree?"
Li Tai pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay to get 10% profit, but they have to build the factory for free. This factory is considered their investment."
"If they are not willing, they can attract investment from the entire Datang. There will always be someone willing to make the money."
…
Outside the study, Li Shimin listened with joy on his face.
