Obviously, these two people are extremely smart, and when they see Li Zhi's questions and questions, they don't know what they want, that is, they know what he thinks in his heart.

Therefore, Yiqiao said: "We came from Chang'an City with the emperor, Mr. Li's name has long been known, and even Sister Yiqing has seen Mr. outside the study." Zhengqing Wenqitang also understands, and it is said that Mr. Li is very good to his subordinates, and some even became a small shopkeeper in Zhengqing Wenqitang! ”

"So when you heard that you came to me, not only were you not nervous, but you were pleasantly surprised?" Li Zhi finally understood.

Yi Qiaojiao said with a smile: "That's natural, Her Royal Highness the princess also told us that we will stay in Luoyang City in the future, and if the gentleman is not there, we will go to Zhengqing Wenqitang, if the ability is enough, we can also become a clerk." ”

No matter how lively she is, she knows what to say and what not to say.

Becoming a clerk gives them the opportunity to redeem themselves as ordinary people, which is a free body that they have not achieved in their previous generations.

"Then I'm a little worried, you say that you haven't done much coolie, don't you want me to come by myself if you eat and drink, wash and wash?" Li Zhi deliberately played tricks.

Yiqing hurriedly explained: "We will do everything, including changing tiles and repairing doors and windows. ”

It also happened that she didn't show off her cognition, and was busy putting out the breakfast in the food box one by one.

Seeing that the two were still nervous, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Don't take it seriously, I'm joking, and I'm very free to follow me." As long as you know the etiquette, you can tear off the deed of sale at any time, as long as you still do things for me, and even your future family and children, I will be responsible for the end! ”

His words made Yiqing's eyes redden, and Li Zhi hurriedly said, "Huh! Such an exquisite breakfast, from the palace, right? ”

The two food boxes are three-layered, and the breakfast style on the table is really rich at this time, a large bowl of steamed donkey meat, a large bowl of boiled cabbage, a small bowl of shredded chicken, a small bowl of sea cucumber, a five-inch dish of boiled purple cover, a five-inch dish of crispy fire, a five-inch dish of sauce meat, a five-inch dish of vegetarian fried cabbage, a can of cowpea porridge, and a small bowl of rice.

Yiqiao introduced, "Her Royal Highness the princess ordered the imperial dining room to make it, and tell Mr. a little secret, rice is the rice eaten by the emperor, specially cultivated yellow, white, and purple rice!" ”

Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction, "I have eaten the food in the imperial dining room, and the prince took me there, deer, roe deer, deer tail, deer tongue, deer tendon, sea bass, bird's nest, shark fin, sea cucumber, etc. ”

Yiqing walked up and pinched Li Zhi's shoulder, Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "You haven't done heavy work in the palace, so naturally you can't be tired when you come to me." In this way, go to the store with me for a while, and from now on adapt to business, help me clean up the house while I'm there, hire someone to clean the yard, and if you need to spend money, you can withdraw it from the counter! ”

"For Mr.'s personal maid, but the emperor has decreed, we don't dare to disobey, at least until the ladies arrive, we will only stay in the house and keep everything in order!" Yiqing hurriedly explained.

"Let it be, the emperor won't care about you, since it has been promised to me, I have the right to be the master. I'll go to meet the emperor later, is there anything else that needs to be dealt with? For example, things that you didn't have time to bring. ”

"The princess said that Mr. has it all here, and I don't want us to call you master, saying that even the emperor calls you like this!"

As he spoke, Li Zhi had a good meal, patted his belly, and took a sip of the tea he had just made, but he was thinking about Princess Taiping in his heart.

This woman knows how to take care of people very well, at least she doesn't have the slightest dignity as a princess.

She went to Gaozong early in the morning, apparently to report her arrival, perhaps because she agreed with Empress Wu's statement last night and knew her sincerity towards his father.

She rushed there early in the morning, not without the intention of currying favor with her father, and now Gaozong is in a state of terminal illness, and she also hopes that because of her arrival, she can give her father a little joy.

However, Li Zhi was not in a hurry to rush over, Zhengqing Wenqitang is currently in trial operation, and he needs to pay special attention.

In the blink of an eye, it was already half an hour before the official opening of the business, and Li Zhicai rode on his horse and came slowly.

The first thing is to fill the underground warehouse, and ask Jiao Jianxiu to send someone into the inventory, of course, there will be a special person to supervise him.

Before he could return to the first floor, Princess Taiping came with a bang, and the following formation behind her was very large, bringing more experts in various professions.

Someone is specifically responsible for the order arrangement of the upcoming opening, but it saves Li Zhi a lot of words, he is also silently observing, and releasing his insight to observe everyone's psychological fluctuations.

Because there was the Xue family among the people who came, Taiping was far away from him after whispering a few words, but Li Zhi could sense the excitement in her heart when she stepped forward.

It's not an official business, so naturally he didn't congratulate the guests on coming, but the scale will definitely not be small on the opening day, so Li Zhi needs to know in advance which of the people at the moment belong to the doers.

When the hour came, customers swarmed in, and soon there was a long queue in the courtyard.

The courtyard and the courtyard are full of people, but the water pavilion outside is crowded with onlookers, after all, the goods of Zhengqing Wenqitang are expensive, and they are not affordable by ordinary people.

Li Zhi's exploration was within a few miles, and he could still see the figures coming from all directions one after another.

This kind of crowd is no less than the east and west cities of Chang'an City, and there are even more foreigners here.

He casually pulled over a person and asked why, and that person was an officialdom in civilian clothes who was pulled by Taiping to maintain order.

According to the man, the reason for the concentration of foreign merchants was the Sui-Tang Grand Canal, which connected the north-south water transport.

Compared with the fact that goods can be loaded directly onto ships here, Chang'an City has fallen into disrepair and gradually fallen into disrepair.

In addition, due to the transportation of grain from the east to the west, Weishui can only barely undertake the task of transporting grain, although it can also be used, but due to the frequent entry and exit of grain ships, it is easy to cause the channel to be blocked.

Therefore, foreign goods entering the sea need to be transported to Hukou first, take the Yellow River to the estuary, and some even have to be transported to Luoyang City.

The Cao Canal between Chang'an and Weikou is a matter of decades later, and the current water transportation situation in Chang'an City is very embarrassing.

Li Zhi must understand this, otherwise it will be difficult to solve the problem of Zhengqing Wenqitang's product exports in the future.

As a result, he strengthened his determination to build a large-scale paper mill in Ezhou City Paper Mill Town.

Liquor is also equivalent to the bulk of rice paper, but due to the water quality problems in Fengxiang County, it is not yet mature to go to other places.

On the southbound road, he had intended to go to Moutai Town to buy a ready-made winery, but he was unable to make the trip because he hurried back to Chang'an City.

At the same time, he made a decision to rush back from Luoyang, and he still needed to travel south, taking advantage of the convenience of setting up a city envoy to go to a few more places.

When she was thinking about it, Princess Taiping came over, "Mr. Li, the emperor has to rush there, and I will leave it to me temporarily!" ”

"How's the Holy Being?" Li Zhi asked knowingly.

"It's not good, the relapse is getting longer and more frequent."

"Yishou Dan is not very useful for the elderly, and the true qi condensation will stimulate the lesion to rupture prematurely, which is a problem!"

"The condition of the imperial hospital has been determined, you should not be too anxious, perhaps because of your arrival, the emperor will be in good spirits and relieve the pain, because of this, I went early in the morning to ask my father's opinion. The emperor said that he wants you to accompany him to lunch! ”

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no title of father, and the folk called the father uncle (Yinbei), the big (Yinda), and the father, and the upper class was more formal, collectively referred to as the father.

The crown prince and prince are called Aya, and the princess who marries is called the father, or the emperor.

"Where is the emperor currently taking care of his body?"

"Together with my mother, together in the Zhenguan Temple. I have another princess house, but until the baby's father comes, I will stay in the Zhenguan Palace. ”

After a long time, Li Zhi rushed to the Zhenguan Palace, and the palace maids and attendants who kept shuttling in the palace were very different from the situation he found last night.

A team of guards patrolled along the palace wall from time to time, and when they saw Li Zhi, who was still marching in Mashan, they were all standing against the wall, and their eyes were focused on the Shang Fang sword on Li Zhi's waist, and they were very respectful.

Dismount at the stone pool in front of the hall, and someone has come to lead the horse to fall.

Another person led the way, and in the three halls, Gaozong was lying on the couch, and was reading some kind of reading material by the inner supervisor who was proficient in writing.

Seeing Li Zhi coming, Gaozong dismissed left and right, and when the door was closed, he sat up and smiled: "It is said that wherever Mr. Li goes, there will be chaos, such as Ezhou and Guangzhou. ”

As he spoke, he sat down with his fingers, and then stretched out his hand, obviously begging for the four treasures of the study that Li Zhi was looking for him.

There is no need to take another piece of rice paper, Li Zhi only took out a few squares of inkstone, Tao inkstone, Duan inkstone, and the authoritarian pen and ink of famous artists.

Li Zhi recounted the search process in detail, and Gaozong couldn't help but turn it over and look at it, nodding his head from time to time.

After the narration was finished, he said: "Especially these two Venus inkstones, their quality is strong and beautiful, the natural patterns stretch naturally, Venus and gold halos complement each other, and the sense of reason is obvious. ”

Li Zhihui laughed, "What's even more rare is that I found the pure ancestral craftsmanship of Sheyan and merged it into the name of Zhengqing Wenqitang. Fortunately, the family still has the mouth of the old stone pit that has not survived much. Led by this family, the customization of Hui ink and She inkstone is not an order placed in a single family, but for the entire Huizhou range, which is intended to enrich and improve the craftsmanship of the workshop. ”

"Well, this can make Sheyan famous, and it will be widely known since then with Zhengqing Qitang, Tao Yan and Duan Yan are best concocted according to law!"

"As the only pure origin of the entire Tang Dynasty, and there are still old pit pits, I plan to refine a batch of inkstones to protect them, and want to ask for a few words of the holy pen and holy book, so that its value can be doubled by a hundred times, so as to teach future generations to know how to cherish the collection!"

The emperor's inscription proposed by Li Zhi is not only because the value of the inkstone has increased, but also because the inkstone is Gaozong's favorite in his life.

Borrowing his own words, he can pass on that kind of love with Sheyan for a hundred years, which is the greatest respect and remembrance for this person.

How could Gaozong not understand the meaning of Li Zhi's words, and the excitement of his confidant's encounter in his heart, he sighed: "I was imprisoned and died, and I was once affected by the inkstone and perceived the artistic conception of calligraphy, so I regarded it as the love of my life." However, the government affairs are busy with the patients, and they have no time to take care of the inheritance, and they will not be able to contribute in the future. ”

"Finally, the Holy One finally got what he wanted, and the ancients in the past and the future will remember that you have worked hard for this!"

"I hope that it can be remembered by future generations, or ignored, and finally the ancestors will continue to inherit it to the world, and I will be a little relieved! I remember the inscription, and I asked someone to send it another day. ”

Li Zhi stood up, "Holy Lord, please allow me to check your body!" ”

Gaozong immediately sat upright, let Li Zhi enter his body with a wisp of true yuan, and still said, "General Li Ying can find you?" ”

"We had a secret talk, so I made a plan, I came to Luoyang City yesterday, and I couldn't come as soon as possible, just to verify the effect. Would you be interested in hearing about it? ”

"It should be about the side of the martial arts, right? Just tell me! ”

Li Zhi carefully explained the reason for the incident with what he heard last night.
