Chapter 5 Effects

"Son-in-law, please see the mother!" In the Ziyun Pavilion, Li Yan bowed to the beautiful woman sitting in the main seat and wearing a phoenix robe, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Now that she was having a big time, Empress Changsun actually came.

"Get up quickly and come to me." Empress Changsun's voice was gentle, and her amazing beauty and gentle appearance were no wonder Li Shimin was fascinated by it.

Li Yan walked over as he said, Empress Changsun pulled him to look carefully for a while, then turned to Concubine Yang beside him: "Ye'er is really less hostile!"

Concubine Yang smiled, "Sister has always had the most accurate view of people. She has sincerely repented and hopes that her sister will say a few good words in front of the emperor!"

"Don't worry, sister, Qing'er is still young, who is not as young and frivolous as he is, I will persuade the emperor!" After saying that, she glanced at the concubines who came. She remembered the serious matter and looked at Li Yan, "Xi'er, I heard that you have purchased a batch of magical shampoo from a mysterious Persian merchant. I wonder if this is the case!"

Li Yan said respectfully: "The son-in-law has indeed purchased a batch of such things, and the mother's mother has used it for a while. This time she is preparing to send a few bottles to her mother!" Li Yan secretly called unlucky, how dare he collect Empress Changsun's money, but if he doesn't, how could he collect money from other concubines?

Li Yan's embarrassed expression was seen by Queen Changsun. She understood after thinking for a moment, and chuckled: "Yi'er was fined for a monthly salary. How could I be embarrassed to give you away for free? How much does it cost to have this bottle of 'Piao Rou'?"

After looking at Empress Changsun with gratitude, Li Yan told the price he had already thought of, "Two hundred yuan per bottle!"

The concubines nodded. The price was not outrageous. They all looked excitedly at the boxes of shampoo being brought in.

"Leave me two boxes!" Empress Changsun had long heard of this magical shampoo. As the mother of a country, she attached more importance to the appearance. She was embarrassed to speak before, but now Li Yan is publicly selling it in **, and she can buy some of it.

When he was in the palace, Li Yan asked Jin Daqian to pack these Piaorou in a box of ten bottles, and filled them with 420 boxes.

Two boxes were twenty bottles, or four taels of silver. For a queen, this could only be considered pocket money. The palace maid who was in her hand paid, and Queen Changsun left with shampoo and asked Li Yan to sit there when she had time. Li Yan understood her mood and she was going back to try it out.

Empress Changsun paid all the money, and the other concubines lost their temper, and they started to pay for it one by one. Li Yan's shampoo was sold clean in a short while.

The eight hundred and forty silos of copper coins reached the pocket. Li Yan was quite satisfied with the sales this time. The shampoo was a consumable and could be sold continuously after it was used up. There would be a lot of money in the future.

The concubines left with satisfaction. Concubine Yang said to Li Yan, who was still secretly happy: "The Empress is taking care of your face this time, do you understand?"

Li Yan nodded. The history book said that Empress Changsun was well-educated and well-mannered, and was indeed not fabricated out of thin air. "My son understands that I will send some to my mother regularly in the future."

"My son really understands the truth!" Concubine Yang sighed with relief.

In the Liang Palace, Jin Daqian put a bag of copper coins on the accountant's table, "Old Gao, get the account!"

"The money for selling shampoo?" Now the sixth prince in the palace went to the palace to do business.

Jin Daqian nodded heavily: "Our Sixth Prince is really a prodigal son. He is so nice to us servants. Your Highness said that each servant in the royal palace will give you two hundred coins."

The high accountant rubbed his ears and said in disbelief: "Really? He used to be too late to deduct our wages!"

"This is fake. He told me personally. That was the past. You have not seen the changes in His Highness since he fell into the well. He always smiled at me when he woke up in the morning. Last time, the third son in the kitchen made a mistake. He would not allow him to beat him with a board, saying that he should focus on education."

"I just hope he can keep doing this. I originally wanted to quit the account, but now I'm a little hesitant when you say this!"

Jin Daqian slapped the table and was startled by the high account, "I suggest you don't say anything. Your Highness said that when you make too much money in business in the future, you will have to pay us a long monthly salary. I also planned to leave some time ago, but now I don't want to leave!"

"You old boy!" Gao Guanfang stroked his beard and smiled.

Kim Daqian's round body also trembled with the laughter.

"Where can I buy Piaorou?" According to statistics from relevant people, in the seventh year of Zhenguan, this sentence became the most frequently used question in Chang'an City.

The concubines in the palace had already achieved results in their use of Piaorou, but they were widely used in the palace, so they put the capital of showing off outside the palace. While they were going home to visit their relatives, they frequently attended various socialite gatherings to show off their bright hair, and gradually brought the idea of ​​"If you don't use Piaorou, you will lose your identity" to the nobles and socialites in Chang'an. For a time, Chang'an launched a wave of shopping, but the shampoo was firmly controlled by Li Yan, and others could not copy it, and Li Yan and others were like this effect.

There will never be an airtight wall in the world. Soon, the news that shampoo came from the Sixth Prince spread throughout Chang'an City, and the door of the Liang Palace immediately turned from a former door to a bustling crowd.

"Sixth Prince, I miss you so much!" A young man who looked like a comedian broke through the servants' many obstacles and found Li Yan, who was fishing by the pond of the royal palace.

At this time, Li Yan was wearing a straw hat and staring at the water for a moment, as if he hadn't heard this person speak at all.

The young master smiled awkwardly, waved his hand to drive away Yun'er who was fanning beside Li Yan, sat beside him, and took over Yun'er's job.

"I haven't seen each other for a few months, and the Sixth Prince is still as handsome as before, and it's mysterious!" The young master continued to praise him, but Li Yan still pretended not to hear him.

"Sixth Prince, are you fishing?" The young master had nothing to say, Li Yan was still as peaceful as Mount Tai, and I didn't move.

"Brother, I was wrong! I'm not a thing. I should have come here long ago. I'll slap myself, I slap myself!" The young master began to self-inflict, and the two slaps were shaking loudly. Jin Daqian on the side could hardly bear it anymore. He was acting with his life!

At this moment, Li Yan's fish hook finally moved. Li Yan lifted it up, but accidentally, the fish hook wrapped around a branch in the pond.

When the self-harm young master saw him, he jumped out of the water without saying a word, unbuttoned the fish hook, and exposed his two white rows of front teeth at Li Yan.

After sighing, Li Yan was convinced and could not get rid of this guy. Since the news that the shampoo was sold by Li Yan, this guy has found the royal palace.

Li Yan remembered this person, one of his bad friends at the time, whom he didn't want to like, but this guy really brought the word "sincere" to the fullest, making Li Yan ashamed.

"Lu Boyan, why are you so shameless and shameless son of the Minister of Works?" Li Yan pointed to the young master in the pool and moved out his father to humiliate him.

Lu Boyan, who was soaked all over, almost burst into tears. If it weren't for asking for a few bottles of shampoo, would he have been so traumatized? He climbed up with the fish caught by Li Yan. Lu Boyan looked heartbroken, "Sixth Prince, I'm wrong, it's me wrong. In the future, you just need to say hello, I will be here as you pass, saddles, horses, and be cows and horses, as long as you can forgive me..."

"Okay! OK! You must have liked a girl and wanted to use shampoo to show your respect!" Lu Boyan's reputation as a hungry ghost in Chang'an, and the only one who can make him so shameless may be a woman.

Lu Boyan smiled and said, "Your Highness Sixth Master knows me. In the past few months you have left, a ** named Lichunyuan opened in Chang'an. The girl there is such a water spirit, and a courtesan named Luo Xiaoyi has also appeared, who is even more beautiful!"

After wiping his saliva, Lu Boyan continued: "I was lucky enough to see the courtesan, and I have been dreaming about it from now on, but Luo Xiaoyi did not care about the wealth and wealth, but only met guests based on his preferences. I was rejected several times. Your Highness, you must help me!" He wiped the tears of not having any of them.

Li Yan was so annoyed by him that it seriously affected the quality of life. He waved: "Butler Qian, give him two bottles!"

When Lu Boyan heard this, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, then I'll go, come and visit you again next day!" He followed Butler Jin happily.

"Who are they all!" Li Yan rubbed his eyebrows in pain. He was really a bunch of friends, who were facing forward, not backward.

In the past few days, Li Yan met many old acquaintances, many people came to visit the disease, and he also received a lot of gifts, but he understood that these guys were all sent by his wife. In his name of being naughty, who would like to deal with him? As the saying goes, "Reciting rituals is a rule," Li Yan also knew what they were doing, so he returned it with shampoo as a gift.

Li Yan would not suffer any losses, and this hit his mind. When these officials and the officials used their own shampoo, it would be time for wealth to come. It would be difficult for them to improve their living standards, especially for these celebrities.

It was dim in the night. After the Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, in the Taiji Hall, approved the memorial and picked up a secret letter that had just been sent. The letter contained the reports of the secret spies in Chang'an City, and Li Yan's name was on it.

"Hmph, don't do your job properly!" Li Shimin cursed, but his tone was not very angry. For him, Li Yan is always more dedicated to doing business than doing nothing all day before, bullying men and women.

Leaving the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin went directly to the Yanxi Hall of Empress Changsun. "To be honest, this kid Li Yan has done a good job. His shampoo is really good." Li Shimin sniffed his fragrant hair and thought.

"What are the emperor thinking?" After Li Shimin came, Empress Changsun asked the servants to prepare food. However, during the meal, Li Shimin was ecstatic from time to time, and Empress Changsun couldn't help asking.

"I'm thinking of my sons!" The change in Xuanwu Gate was always a pain in his heart. Therefore, after ascending the throne, he always attached great importance to the education of his children, and did not want such a tragedy to happen again one day in his sons.

"You want to say yes Lao Liu!" Empress Changsun chuckled, "I think Lao Liu is worthy of support now. Haven't you always encouraged industry and commerce? Now a prince of Lao Liu is involved in business. Doesn't this just show the royal family attaches importance to businessmen?"

Since ancient times, all dynasties have emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, believing that merchants do not engage in production and have a low status. In the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin changed his previous style and strongly supported commerce. He believed that only when business flourished could the court collect more taxes, and then use these taxes to the people, and benefit the country and the family without any harm. It has to be said that in that era, Li Shimin's thoughts transcend the times.
