Because Li Zhiming clearly told everyone that he dug it himself in the deep mountains and old forests, and no matter how precious it is, it has nothing to do with bribery and public banks, and I don't know where to start if you want to refuse.

Even better, these diamonds, which have not yet been called diamonds, are in their original state, unpolished in the form of stones, but their preciousness is well known.

Lao Ming Wang shook his head, he had been to Master Tan a lot recently, and he knew the richness of Li Zhi's collection:

"This kind of diamond, once polished, will be bright and dazzling, brilliant and crystal to the peak, presumably it is the category you want to do next?"

"I call it a diamond, whether it's a ring or a necklace, the little stone gives off that pure light, crystal clear, sparkling with the eternal charm of light and shadow, and its value will be amazing!"

"Open in the East or West Market?"

"The third floor of the East Market, originally rice paper and paper towels were moved to the West Market, the first floor is spices, the second floor is snuff, and it will open in five to seven days! In addition, I plan to find another store in the West Market to deal in fruit wine and high-grade liquor, which is still the brand of Zhengqing Wenqitang! ”

"Did you find the store?" Li Ling suddenly asked.

"Not at the moment, I just had an idea, and I haven't heard it yet!"

"How much area do you need?"

"Of course, the bigger the better, the West Market is a relatively concentrated place for wholesale, and the wine is very place-consuming!"

"There is a former military headquarters building in the West Market, which was originally used for the local garrison, but because of the development of the West Market, it has been abandoned for a long time and is still regarded as the inherent property of the army. Many forces have tried to make up their minds, and they have all been rejected when I am in office! Because of its ground, and although the front and rear yards are only one acre, there are ten acres of open and hidden underground, but those people are only willing to pay for the upper three floors! ”

"Huh? It is very suitable for me, it is completely possible to build a wine cellar underground, which directly saves the pain of transportation! ”

"But that location is the most remote place in the West Market, and there are no spacious passages around it, so you can't let large cars and horses enter and exit!"

"Brother Han Qing refers to the northeast corner of the West City, the city in the middle of the city, where dense vendors gather?"

The city in the city refers to a unique phenomenon in the market-oriented transformation of the West Market, where the original small traders were concentrated before the West Market, because the original living space was squeezed out by the expanding market.

But these people belong to the lowest level of the society, and they need to buy and sell with little or no capital in exchange for the daily food of the family.

Therefore, these itinerant traders had no money to pay market taxes and rent, so they always fought guerrilla warfare with the gatekeepers and soldiers of the West Market, and even if the Equalization Department and the Municipal Administration built a law enforcement point there, they could not stop the existence of the old market.

And even if these people are caught, they cannot afford to pay fines or bonds, but are happy to be imprisoned, at least free food, although they are inevitably suffering.

Over time, those law enforcement points were no longer in the mood to drive them away, so in the busiest West Market in Chang'an City, there was such a gray trading area.

It does not mean that the goods being traded are black or illegal goods that are unknown to people, but rather the most basic ingredients or objects that are indispensable to every family.

For example, firewood, rice, oil, salt, needles and threads, a teapot with a missing handle, a toilet with a lost lid, a half-burned candle, a bamboo slip with the original handwriting scraped off, etc., in short, are scattered pieces that are not worth one or two copper coins.

But it is these discards, which may be picked up from the garbage heap, that ensure the source of at least one meal a day for those poor people in Chang'an City who are so poor that they don't know the next meal!

In order to prevent these people from entering, a high wall was erected in the southeast corner of the place, and a new façade was built on the spot, but it still could not prevent people from climbing in and wreaking havoc.

In their view, this is depriving them of their only source of livelihood, and they are not afraid of the ambush or concentrated attack of the officers and soldiers, wave after wave, and the wave of destruction is endless, even if a few people are cut off their heads on the street.

But these people fought back angrily at the encroachment on their livelihood, but never extended the war to other parts of the West Market. What is even more surprising is that as long as the market is allowed to exist, the law and order there is quite self-disciplined, and all the vendors will clean up the garbage on the ground after their daily business.

Li Zhi frowned, this is a big problem, he is very interested in ten acres of underground space, but there is such a desperate poor people who cannot be fought and dispersed, and the city within the city will exist forever.

Carriages and horses cannot enter and exit, which means that it is difficult to do a large amount of business, and only a cargo to be transported in and out requires at least dozens of people to be employed.

Li Zhi has enough personnel, but being blocked from entering by the city in the city is another big problem, and the quality of the wine and the taste are excellent, just from that corner, it is enough to make many rich people retreat.

As if he knew that Li Zhizhi was depressed, Li Ling smiled and said: "The old site of the military headquarters can completely open a gap and enter the gate in another place, but outside its outer wall, even if it is out of the West Market, and the Taiping Princess Mansion in the northwest corner of the square is not allowed to appear in front of the door!" ”

Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood the meaning of Li Ling's words.

It stands to reason that Princess Taiping is the emperor's youngest daughter, even if she marries the Xue family, the secret mansion in the boudoir is not allowed to be occupied, and Princess Taiping's mansion belongs to the royal fiefdom, unless the royal family surnamed Li falls, no one dares to fight it.

But it just so happened that King Jing, the third king, was involved in the paper mill in Liujian Village, and Princess Taiping also contributed a lot to it, although no one dared to trouble her, Li Zhi had an advantage in this regard.

That Princess Taiping Mansion belongs to an old house that has not been opened for several years, and it is a dispensable existence for her.

As long as Li Zhi mentions this matter in front of King Jing, it is most appropriate for him to come forward to buy or replace it.

And Li Zhi is convinced that the princess Taiping will never openly offend herself because of her insistence, and in the Zhengqing Wenqitang of the East City, she Princess Taiping has not sent her subordinates to buy clothes, and even for her, there are several sets of first-class brocade fabrics that are only directly supplied to the East Palace.

The princess was a little younger than herself, and Li Zhi was convinced that just for the sake of a young woman, she would not tear her face with herself in public.

Moreover, he is still one of the few divine doctors in Chang'an City, and he is the most powerful member of the court, and he will not take action easily against a divine doctor.

But Li Zhi didn't rush to express his position, he knew that since Li Ling took the initiative to tell the old site of the military headquarters, he obviously had a solution in his heart, and there was no special reason, Li Zhi didn't want to deal directly with that Taiping princess, because he knew everything that happened in this person's life.

This woman is rich in legends, and she and her mother, sister-in-law, and friends form the strongest women's group in the Tang Dynasty, and their power overrides that of men for a certain period of time.

And this woman is cruel and arrogant, likes luxury, can't do without men, is not a good example of a woman, her life is linked to politics, her parents are the political heads of the Tang Dynasty, and her two husbands are not ordinary officials, whether they are intended or unintentional, they are greatly involved in the political whirlpool.

After her third brother Li Xian ascended the throne, she gradually came to the front of the stage and was reused. But her third sister-in-law and niece killed her brother, and after a fight, Princess Taiping helped her little brother Li Dan become emperor.

Because of this credit, the emperor gave her a lot of power, and the Taiping of this period was not only at the peak of power in her personal life, but also the first person of all the princesses in the Tang Dynasty.

Although the ending of her life was not good, and she was finally killed by the new emperor because of the failure of the rebellion, after all, she was a person who had really participated in the court's politics, and Li Zhi could not be allowed to confront her head-on.

Sure enough, Li Zhi and the others came to Li Ling to further interpret: "It is best if this matter is not related to the matter of Liujian Village, second brother, I have some private relationship with the prince Li Dan, as far as I know, Mr. Li has also had a relationship with him, I think it is better to meet today and tomorrow, and it is most suitable for him to come forward!" ”

Li Xian and Li Dan are Gaozong, and there are currently only two princes left, that is to say, except for the crown prince Li Xian, Li Dan has the same infinite possibilities for the upper position, and no one dares to despise Li Dan's existence, including her sister Princess Taiping.

"I just met with the crown prince and the prince, and Li Dan is going to follow the saint to drive to Luoyang, the eastern capital of Xingdong, at this critical time, can you invite him out?" Li Zhi was a little worried in his words.

"The meeting between us has already been agreed, just tomorrow evening or the afternoon after tomorrow, and once it is confirmed, I will send someone to inform you as soon as possible!" It should be Li Ling's calculations.

"It's not appropriate for me to join without permission, right?"

"For others, it may be so, but Mr. Li will not be in the ranks again, because there will be another person by his side, and that person will be boarding on your East Mountain!"

Li Zhi turned his mind and laughed, "Second brother is talking about Sima Daochang?" Yes, this man is a guest of honor in my house for the time being, but why haven't I listened to him? ”

"It should be that the prince has not yet contacted him, as long as he comes to invite him, he will invite you to go with him. As far as I know, Li Dan respects Daoist Sima very much, and he also has a very high evaluation of you, everyone knows that as soon as the saint goes to Luoyang, he doesn't know if he will return, so for whether Li Dan can develop again, he urgently needs the guidance of Daoist Sima Daochang, and your energy should not be underestimated! ”

Li Zhi shook his head and sighed deeply, once again being hit by sadness, "The Holy Lord left me a blank special edict reward scroll because of this, and I also felt a lot in my heart when I picked it up!" ”

Li Tong, the old king of the Ming Dynasty, looked at him in surprise, Li Zhi did not shy away from the people around him, so he took it out and handed it to Li Tong.

Since it was not a real edict and there was not a single word on it, there was no need for those present to worship with great pomp.

When it was opened, Li Tong and King Ming were silent, as long as they were from the court, anyone could taste the mixed feelings of Gaozong's trip, only Li Zhi knew that Gaozong may not have time to return to Chang'an City.

"I'm afraid you haven't really understood what that means, have you?" Li Tong looked at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi nodded, "Since the pair of gold dishes and chopsticks that the Holy Lord gave me, I know that the old man has a deep layout ability and exquisite wisdom!" ”

Li Tong smiled, "Not only at that time, but as early as Shang Fangjian gave you, you were already in his huge and far-reaching layout!" Of course, the Holy One does not mean to harm you, but is cleverly borrowing your sharp blade to give or maintain something, and with our current wisdom, we cannot fully understand the essence of it. If my guess is correct, you are also moving forward step by step, slowly understanding the deep meaning? ”

"Yes, what's even more terrifying is that I always think that I know the strategy, but often after the situation or the situation changes, I find that Shang Fangjian has other wonderful uses!"

"So, don't try to understand the details of the Blank Edict as soon as possible, it seems to me that it may be more profound than Shang Fangjian! In my personal understanding at this moment, the addition of the content is by no means from you, but a person who is enough to affect the general situation of Li Xian or Li Dan during his reign. Keep it well, and one day it will see the light of day, maybe it will be the time when the dynasty surnamed Li rises again! ”

"Hehe, how can the old man also say that Zen is difficult to understand? I am also a member of the Ming Palace, which is equivalent to your old grandson! ”

Li Zhi deliberately marked this point.
