Chapter 58 Discussion of Asian Offering
Time flies, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching in a blink of an eye. The capital is busy before the festival is approaching. Li Xian is also very busy, but he is not busy practicing martial arts. That matter has long been used to nature. If he doesn't practice for half a day every day, he always feels weak all over. Li Xian is busy with one thing - counting money until his hand cramps!
In two and a half months, it is said that the length is not long, and it slips away in the blink of an eye. But in such a short few dozens of days, Li Xian has made nearly a lot of money from folding fans alone. Since folding fans began to become popular in the palace, the rich and powerful families have followed suit. In just ten days, small folding fans have become the most popular in Beijing. From the gadgets, from the powerful to the butcher's and pawns, almost everyone has one hand. What's missing is just the grade of the folding fan. Those who have money can play with gold and jade, and those who don't have money can also play with white fans. The folding fan field made by Li Xian has been expanded several times in a row, and the output is still in short supply, not only the merchants on the ground of Beijing Normal University. With cash money on the goods, merchants from Luoyang and even Jiangdu and other places flocked to it. The amount of copper money recovered every day could only be pulled with an ox cart, but Li Xian was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
The first shot started smoothly, and the financial resources were rolling in, but Li Xian was not overwhelmed by the best-selling of the folding fan, just because he knew that the folding fan was simple in process and easy to imitate. Now there have been "copycat" goods on the market, but because the scale of the smuggled goods is still small and the quality is very inferior, this is Let Li Xian make a lot of money. Next year, you don't want to have this year. After all, "copycat" is the ability of the Chinese people. It has a long history. There is nothing that Chinese people can't imitate. However, Li Xian doesn't care. After all, the folding fan is just a tool for Li Xian to dig the first bucket of gold. Even if you give up, it's not a big deal. Next year, when others rush to play with folding fans, Li Xian will be ready to use soap. As long as there is a steady stream of new things coming out, he is not afraid of having no money to make.
Money is a good thing. Li Xian doesn't think it's too much money. In fact, Li Xian doesn't think it's too much money. Not to mention anything else, Lin Hu's money secretly opening restaurants and teahouses in Beijing has gone for nearly half. Counting the cost of Gao Mao's money to communicate with the eunuchs in the palace and buy people's hearts. There are not many left. As for Deng Cheng, the expansion of the operation of the business also needs the support of money. That's it, but when I see the money coming in like running water and going out like running water, it makes Li Xian's house like opening a bank to engage in deposits and loans. There is really not much in Li Xian's pocket, but, words Again, the money earned is to spend. As long as it can be spent on the right path, even if there is more Li Xian, he will never feel distressed.
Rome can't be built in a day. Similarly, the intelligence system that Li Xian wants and even the construction of the basic team can't be seen in a short time. Naturally, he can't be in a hurry. He can only go step by step. Li Xian has full reason to believe that as long as there is enough time, everything is possible, of course. Those are all long-term visions. They can only be conceived for the time being, but they can't be touched. Li Xian will not sit there and fantasize and have fun. Li Xian has never forgotten to pay attention to the court situation, especially the preparations before Gao Zong's sealing of Mount Tai.
Li Xian remembers clearly that in the previous life, Gao Zong also sent a letter of Zen Taishan at the beginning of the first month of next year, which was also from the encouragement of Wu Hou. There were countless changes during which occurred, and each of them had a far-reaching impact. The first change was that Empress Wu encouraged Gao Zong to let him Taking on the responsibility of Yaxian, the reason is that "the emperor is the son of heaven, and the sacrifice belongs to the heavenly family. How can it be sacrificed by outsiders? My concubine is the daughter-in-law, and she should take care of herself." Gao Zong actually agreed with such a ridiculous reason. He issued an edict to Queen Wu for Ya Xian, and Princess Yan made a good sealing ceremony into the laughing stock of the ages.
The sealing of Zen is a great ceremony. Since ancient times, there have been routines. The first offering is naturally the emperor, and the Asian offering is carried out by the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies. As for the final offering, in general, it is the most virtuous and highly valued person in the court. After being changed by the Empress Wu, the grand ceremony immediately became a clown drama. It is not an exaphrassible to say that it has been stinky for ten thousand years. Of course. Well, the reason why the Empress Dowager Wu is so nonsense naturally has its unspeakable purpose. In the previous life, the Empress Wu had already come to the court and was called the two saints together with Gao Zong, but her status is not stable. The role of Yaxian can show her identity. Second, she can also take advantage of this good opportunity to reward the ministers to buy the hearts of the courtiers. Thirdly, it is also He deliberately acted so arrogantly to see if there was anyone who dared to stand up and be the sound of horses. As a result, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu did not even dare to fart, and the status of the Empress Wu was stable, and no one dared to disobey a little.
Li Xian in the previous life was just a cowardly and incompetent young prince. Although he knew that this was not appropriate, he did not have the courage to say it clearly and did not think too far. However, in this life, Li Xian did not want to look on the sidelines. In order to avoid a tragic recurrence in the future, Li Xian had no choice but to rise up and fight. He is afraid of taking some risks and does not hesitate to do so. The problem is that the political ecology of the past and the present life has been slightly different due to Li Xian's horizontal penetration. At least the article of Queen Wu did not appear, and Li Xian is not sure whether Queen Wu will still make a request for Yaxian. Therefore, he can only wait and wait for the news from Luoyang. Come on - In Li Xian's memory, this Zen edict was released one day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was mixed with the edict to reward the ministers. It was August 12, and it can be seen in the day after tomorrow. However, what Li Xian didn't expect was that this knowledge came faster than expected - Li Xian had just finished practicing martial arts. Even before he could freshen up, someone from the East Palace came and asked Li Xian to enter the palace immediately.
"Let's see the prince's brother."
The prince was summoned, and Li Xian did not dare to neglect him. He simply cleaned it and hurried into the palace. As soon as he entered the study of Xiande Hall, he saw the prince Li Hong sitting solemnly behind him. Li Xian hurried forward and respectfully saluted him.
"No, seventh brother, come on, sit down."
Li Hong's spirit seemed to be extremely tired. When he saw Li Xian arrive, he forced himself to smile, pointed to the opposite side of Jizi, and motioned Li Xian to take a seat.
"Thank you, the prince, for your love. It's good for me to stand up. Please give me an instruction."
The prince is half a king, and the opposite position is not so easy to sit on, which means to fight against the prince. Li Xian didn't want to act so recklessly, so he hurriedly thanked him.
"Seven brothers don't have to be like this. There is no outsider here. Why do you and my brothers need to be so different? Sit down."
Seeing that Li Xian was so cautious, Li Hong couldn't help laughing, waved his hand, and said annoidly.
"Yes, I obey."
Hearing Li Hong's words, Li Xian was not good at being reserved. After hesitating for a moment, he still sat down according to his words.
"I am very gratified to hear that the seventh brother has been practicing martial arts diligently recently. With the talent of the seventh brother, he will be able to achieve great success in the future." Li Hong did not get to the point as soon as he came up, but praised Li Xian with a smile.
"The prince's brother has won the award, and his younger brother Pu Liu's ears are just extravagant to be able to make up for his shortcomings with diligence. He is really not a talented person." In the case of not understanding what Li Hong's intention was, Li Xian was cautious and his words were extremely humble.
"Well, diligence can make up for my shortcomings. That's a good thing to say, but anyone who has great perseverance can do it. The ancients are sincere that I don't bully. If the seventh brother can abide by this rule, the achievements of the future will be unlimited. In fact, it is the blessing of my community." Li Hong seemed to deliberately praise Li Xian, and praised him unrelentingly, but in Li Xian's ears, there was something wrong - there was nothing to do, and he was a traitor or a thief!
What does this thing want to do? Shall we put it on the stove? Li Xian is an awakened person. It is impossible for him to feel dizzy because of Li Hong's good words. He is nagging in his stomach, but his face is full of gratitude and replied, "The prince's lesson is true. I should keep it in mind and act according to the words of the prince's brother, and dare not forget it."
"Well, that's good." Li Hong was obviously satisfied with Li Xian's statement. He nodded with a smile, and his back was suddenly solemn. He said in a heavy tone, "My father will seal Mount Tai and let me leave at the end of September. This seventh brother should be known?"
"I have heard about the words of the prince's brother, but I haven't received a call from my father. I don't know what the prince's brother can teach about this?" As soon as Li Hong heard that he mentioned the matter of Fengchan Mount Tai, Li Xian's heart immediately tightened, and there was a faint premonition surging. Fortunately, Li Xian's city was deep, but he did not show any flaws. He just replied respectfully.
"See you? The seventh brother has always been talented. It's time to ask for advice from the seventh brother. Li Hong smiled self-deprecatingly, waved his hand, stopped Li Xian's defense, took out Huang Juan's masked edict from his wide sleeves, handed it to Li Xian in his hands, and said bitterly, "Father, there is an edict here. Seventh brother, take a look."
Here comes the play, here comes the meat! There was a palpitation in Li Xian's heart, but he refused with a look of fear on his face: "Brother prince, forgive me. I really dare not be rude and illegal."
"Don't worry, the seventh brother just watch it." Li Hong insisted on passing the edict to Li Xian for a few more points, and said without doubt.
"Yes, I have surpassed it."
Li Xian was actually very curious about the content of the edict. The previous refusal was just a superficial article. At this time, when he saw Li Hong's insistence, he was happy to push the boat along the water. He answered respectfully. He took the edict with both hands, put it on several children, and then knelt down and took a step back, bowed respectfully, and then moved on. I went forward, stretched out my hand and spread out the imperial edict, and read it carefully. The more I looked at it, the more solemn my face became. My heart beat like hitting a deer, and the sweat beads on my forehead involuntarily made a piece of the boss...
