People always find reasons for their bad thoughts. Sometimes the knife has been stabbed into the other person's heart, and they are still imagining that they are doing him good.

After arriving at Xiao Xiao's palace, after a period of madness, Li Xian, who was in the sage's time, couldn't help but have random thoughts.

Feeling the softness in his arms and wanting to leave, Li Xian hugged her hard and said helplessly: "There's no need to wash her. I heard that that kind of medicine is very harmful to the body, so I'd better not use it in the future."

Xiao Xiao raised his head and said in surprise: "But husband, sister, it will take some time before she can give birth. Besides, no one knows whether it is a boy or a girl. I am..."

Li Xian didn't say much, and answered her with another tease.

It was indeed a big accident that the eldest son was not his legitimate son, but compared to Xiao Xiao and the others being physically harmed, Li Xian was still more confident in controlling his children's ambitions.

Twice in one night, Xiao Xiao was so tidied up that she couldn't even get out of bed. Although Li Xian also felt a little tired, he still got up as usual in the morning. Once the biological clock is developed, it cannot be changed by one or two challenges.



When I arrived at the martial arts arena, I discovered that Qi Lan was also there. It is said that martial arts training is the natural enemy of women, but this was not seen in Qi Lan. The places that should be convex are still quite convex, and the waist and legs, needless to say, are definitely the top aesthetics in men's minds.

After exercising as usual, Li Xian went to see his eldest wife.

Fang Furong's belly was already quite big, and she seemed to have difficulty moving. Although I haven't seen her for a few days, I can't see how resentful she is, and she looks rather radiant.

"Husband, look, this is the swaddling clothes I have prepared for the child. I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl, so I can't make clothes, but the swaddling clothes are ready. Look at these words about longevity, but they are all written by me personally. Embroidered..."

Seeing Fang's joyful expression, Li Xian ignored the needle holes in her hands and just praised the beauty of her embroidery. At this time, a woman is really devoted to her children, and since she, the sower, doesn't need to do anything, then when she does something, just praise her and keep her in a good mood.

As for the injured finger, it would be much better to talk about it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow than to ruin the scene now.

After staying with Fang for a while, Li Xian returned to his study.

Nowadays, the industrial scale of Donggong has begun to develop. Zhang Youcai and Shangguanshi are the two general managers of their business empire. As the leader, he only needs to guide them in the direction, and does not need to do the rest personally.

From the letters sent by the two people, it was known that they had begun preparations with great fanfare.

There is no such thing as an auction house nowadays. In the east and west markets, there are occasionally some rare goods that are auctioned and sold directly on the stalls. However, such auctions are generally not the normal outcome of auction behavior. In this era where businessmen are subject to restrictions and even discrimination, there is a huge difference between being rich and having power.

This background leads to the fact that some rare goods are often bought not by the richest people, but by the most powerful people. Most of the time, the transaction price does not reach the normal price. Even, occasionally, there are things like "filling the bull's head with charcoal".

As a result, for truly rare goods, many times merchants would rather trade them privately than put them on the table for sale. Only if they really can't find a private buyer will they put them on the table. After all, they will be sold. If you go, you may lose some money, but if you can't sell it, you will lose money completely.

But after the auction house appears, this chaos will be completely improved.

In terms of background, in the entire Tang Dynasty, only the emperor and empress dared to buy things at the prince's auction house without paying. As for those who dare to stand up and show off their power, they will probably be laughed to death. In an auction like this that is completely open, the Duke does not even dare to put pressure on a baron. Once he does this, the loss of face and reputation cannot be saved with just a little money.

only....

Li Xian couldn't help but chuckle when he saw a list on Zhang Youcai's report.

Although the civil and military ministers were still hunting in the autumn, they had already sent letters home and ordered the housekeeper to deliver the things to Juxian Tower.

No matter what era, officials always pretend to be poor. How could the Tang Dynasty be an exception?

Therefore, what was donated in their name were either some ancient books or some inferior antiques. Fortunately, these people still have some conscience. Although they did not donate good things in their own names, they ordered their nephews and the like to donate many valuable things.

Although such behavior can be seen at a glance as to what is going on, it is considered a sign of loyalty and respect and cannot be exposed.

After reading Zhang Youcai's letter, Li Xian smiled and started writing a reply.

Just pretend not to know about this matter. Sometimes it is most correct for a superior to turn a blind eye to some of the mistakes of a subordinate.

It is said that an official should be as pure as water and as honest as a mirror. However, there is rarely love without reason in this world. Although it is undeniable that some people are indeed worthy of moral models, it is precisely because of this that they are moral models and will be promoted so that most people can learn from them.

The reality is that many people simply cannot do this. Officials who are greedy and perform their duties well are already great.

After writing a reply to Zhang Youcai, Li Xian opened Shangguan's letter.

I have to say that my two subordinates are still very capable. In just one night, they have almost completed the preliminary preparations. As for Shangguan, she was even more powerful than Zhang Youcai because she actually found two captains of Mojin who washed their hands in gold basins as appraisers.

These two old men spent the first half of their lives touching gold and the second half of their lives appreciating treasures. They originally gave up the business when they got older, but they were favored by the Shangguan family by chance. In order to repay the favor, they still agreed to go out and work for the third generation at the age of more than eighty years. An auction builds momentum.

After understanding all this, Li Xian couldn't help but extend his thumb in the direction of West City. The appearance of the two old men made up for the shortcomings, making the auction not only reassuring in terms of credibility, but also no one would doubt its appraisal ability.

In this way, the auction can really take off. There is not even a convincing treasure appraiser. It is difficult to imagine how such an auction should be held. I am afraid that the auction time will be occupied by the auctioneers' appraisals.

After picking up a pen and writing a reply to Shangguan, Li Xiancai stretched out and drank the tea in the teapot in one gulp.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that being an emperor was not much different from being the president of a company.
