"None of these people are here for the wealth of Taiyi City. Each of the five surnames and Qiwang pretends to be a saint in front of the people of the world. When they see a business opportunity, they are not just like ordinary businessmen. It is really hypocritical. "Bai Chun put the tea brought by the maid to Li Hong's hand, then sat down next to Li Hong and said.
"It can't be said that although these people are seeking fame and fortune, relatively speaking, the suffering of the people and the stability of the country are also a major responsibility for them. What's more, they also have to support a big family with such a deep foundation. Background, even the royal family does not need to be looked down upon. Royal marriage depends on the person's face. Moreover, it is not only their influence in the Tang Dynasty that can make the world's scholars look up to and rely on them, but this naturally also includes their financial resources. It is enough to provide all the necessary support before the scholars become successful. Therefore, there is no contradiction in placing these on them. However, we must be careful not to fall into their trap. Who knows how many forces they have sent to deal with us. If one of them fails, all of them will fall into their hands, and the Jiangnan clan will have a lot of initiative in wealth. This is not something any of us want to see." Li Hong leaned his head on Bai Chun's shoulder and sniffed. He said while smelling the light and charming hair smell.
Bai Chun remained unmoved, frowning tightly and said: "I have one more thing that I'm worried about. This perfume and soap seem to have caused some noise. I'm afraid that they will cause trouble and make a fuss about this."
Li Hong smiled nonchalantly: "Don't worry about this. No matter what you do, you just need to remember where your rights are. Even if they kneel down to beg you, it won't help. By the way, tell 'Shenhua' Well, starting from tomorrow, the 'Medicinal Food Room' will be under strict control. During this period, all craftsmen can only live in the accommodation provided by the 'Medicinal Food Room'. No one is allowed to leave the 'Medicinal Food Room'. Zuo Wei has also stepped up vigilance. Who knows these things? Does Renli have some plans for the 'Medicinal Food Room'?"
Li Hong was not worried about the perfume, and it was normal for it to leak out. Ever since his mother used the perfume and soap, the control in the palace was extremely strict. Even the distant clan members could not touch the bottle caps. .
But all the rumors were leaked from the Queen Mother. She was putting pressure on herself and was unwilling to let these things be seen on the market soon. The Queen Mother just wanted to enjoy this unique feeling of superiority of the royal family.
So now Li Hong is forced to stock up on soaps in large quantities. As for perfumes and soaps, they are still under strict control.
Coupled with the ridiculously high price he set for his head and the condition that the purchase requires verification of identity, within three to five years, the perfume can be sold within a very small range while ensuring a profit.
Although the Taiyi City Chamber of Commerce has not yet been held this time, the entire Taiyi City has become extremely lively after Li Hong moved in. Restaurants, inns, teahouses, casinos and other entertainment venues are crowded with people.
Moreover, one after another, whether they are the five surnames, the royal family members, princes, princesses, or foreign envoys, they are all secretly watching, and some people have even quietly moved into Taiyi City.
Everyone knows how much wealth Taiyi City has generated in the past few years. Although there is no specific figure, they can still roughly guess with their keen sense of smell. The money Taiyi City earns in a year is probably not as high as Their country’s annual taxes are much higher!
Li Hong did not choose to dine in the manor. Instead, when night fell, he walked out of the manor with Bai Chun and other ten people and chose to find a restaurant for dinner.
Taiyi City is rich. Just look at the palace lanterns on both sides of the clean and spacious streets to get an idea of how rich Taiyi City is. Each palace lantern is shrouded by a glass lampshade, lighting up the streets and alleys of Taiyi City. Even when it is windy and rainy, Taiyi City is a city that never sleeps.
If you look down from a high place, you will see that all the streets look like fire dragons entrenching themselves on the ground at night, forming an extremely beautiful night scene and forming a beautiful pattern.
There are even rumors among the people that Taiyi City may be richer than the Imperial Palace. Every time Li Hong heard this, he wanted to go up and kick that person in the face, talking nonsense, no matter how rich he was, it was not as rich as the Daming Palace!
I accounted for 70% of the expenses! ! ! This is how biological parents deceive their own sons! ! !
Walking on the lively and crowded streets of Taiyi City, the night is illuminated by bright palace lanterns, slowly slowing down the steps that prevent people from going home, quietly waiting with the palace lanterns, one bright and one dark. This city that never sleeps.
The restaurant chosen by Bai Chun is naturally his own restaurant, and the dishes here are very innovative. They are all created over time under the sudden inspiration of a certain foodie while eating.
Therefore, the most popular restaurant in Taiyi City, which is this restaurant, naturally has a rarely used room on the second floor of the restaurant. No matter how much money you pay, you will not be allowed to sit in a room to eat.
The hotel clerk greeted Bai Chun at the door. When he saw Bai Chun and his party, he looked stunned for a moment, then hurriedly saluted Bai Chun, then knocked on the wooden board at the door and signaled the shopkeeper to come out quickly. Miss Bai is here. .
The shopkeeper hurriedly walked out from behind the counter. After sending away the waiter, he walked up to Bai Chun with a smile and said in a friendly voice: "Miss Bai, please."
As for Li Hong, who was walking among the people, and Hua Meng and others around him, the shopkeeper just nodded politely. For this noble man who could let Miss Bai accompany him and also walked among the people, with his many years of experience, Judging from experience, this is not someone I am qualified to greet. I am afraid that only Miss Bai is qualified to greet her.
After all, every time Miss Bai comes here, she is surrounded by people. She is the object of everyone's respect. I have never seen anyone who can keep Miss Bai from Taiyi City company.
"Get ready for the bedroom." Bai Chun smiled lightly and said.
"No, just be casual. Maybe the lobby is not bad." Li Hong ignored Bai Chun who stopped to talk to the shopkeeper and walked straight inside.
Some noble nobles are used to being alone, so it would be good to be down-to-earth and mix with ordinary people occasionally. After living in a high position for a long time, it would be good to mix in occasionally and listen to what they talk about.
Bai Chun couldn't help but roll her eyes at him after hearing what Sashay Mawei said. He felt comfortable this way, but she and others were uncomfortable. Who could relax and take a few mouthfuls of food without being cautious and vigilant about the surrounding situation.
But there was no other way. The master said it, and she had no choice but to say to the shopkeeper: "Just listen to him."
"Miss Bai, the guests are already full. Today, only the upper room is vacant." The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed. Before he even entered the door, he felt a lot of pressure.
The shopkeeper followed Bai Chun and said with a stiff face. Although he didn't know why these people, including Miss Bai, were so nervous about the young man, seeing the young man entering the door, Miss Bai and others followed immediately, and they still murmured a little about the young man's identity.
"No, no, no, isn't there a table here? The people at that table seem to be leaving, so we are sitting there." In the brightly lit hall, the free and easy ponytail dodged the diners coming and going, and pointed at the table. .
Bai Chun glanced at it and continued to say to the shopkeeper calmly: "Just do as he wants."
The shopkeeper responded. After the guests at that table left, he immediately arranged for the waiters to clean up, and then hurriedly asked Li Hong and others to sit down.
The shopkeeper looked at the young man sitting calmly at the top, and Miss Bai also looked calm and natural, sitting down next to the young man, and then looked at the direction of the seats of the other eight people.
Sweat flowed down the shopkeeper's face involuntarily, sweat broke out on his back, and his calves began to tremble a little.
What kind of noble young man is this? This... this... this is clearly His Highness the Crown Prince. My mother, if she doesn't serve you well and is not satisfied, will she be taken out and beheaded
"Bai... Miss Bai, look at today... what do you want to eat today?" The shopkeeper suddenly became stuttering. His back, which was still straight, now collapsed, and his face was full of uneasiness and confusion. nervous.
Bai Chun raised his head and looked at the shopkeeper strangely, who was acting as usual just now. Why did he suddenly become like a shrimp, stammering and unable to speak completely.
Looking at Li Hong who was smiling but not smiling, occasionally looking around, he immediately understood the reason, so he stretched out his jade hand, patted away the chopsticks spinning around on Li Hong's fingertips, and said to the shopkeeper : "Just pick up a few that you are good at. Don't be nervous. He doesn't eat people. It's just business as usual."
When the shopkeeper watched Bai Chun slap the chopsticks from the young man's hand, his heart almost jumped out of his throat. Would the prince chop her down in anger
But when I glanced at the prince from the corner of my eye, I saw that the prince looked as usual, as if he didn't care at all about Miss Bai's rude behavior towards him just now. When he saw the prince put down the chopsticks in his hand and continued to look around, he was about to tremble to pieces. My heart slowly calmed down again.
He hurriedly bowed respectfully to the young prince. After Bai Chun waved, he hurried to the kitchen to give instructions as if his calves were cramping.
There was only one voice in my mind at this time: I, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, are here, and I am sitting in the hall having a meal! Just like other merchants and common people, they sit in the hall and eat.
Xia Zhi was sitting on the other side. Like Hua Meng and others, he felt both fresh and nervous about sitting in a hall with so many people to eat.
It was new because I had rarely had this kind of experience, and I was nervous because I was deeply afraid that some of these people would recognize the prince, so I had to be careful and vigilant in case something unexpected happened.
