Chapter 44 Li Jiancheng
The next day, after Ji Song woke up, Ji Ming informed Khatib that the goods had been delivered.
Ji Song was not surprised. At this point, if Khatib was still ignorant, Ji Song could only call him stupid.
Ji Song did not intend to make a mistake and ordered Ji Ming to go to his home to deliver the money to with tens of thousands of dollars, the more than one hundred kilograms of Long Yanxiang is the real wealth.
As long as you use Longyanxiang to prepare the best perfume, are you still worried about not having a mere amount of money?However, now that Ji's mother is in charge of the house, it gives Ji Song a headache to explain how to withdraw tens of thousands of copper coins.
With no choice, Ji Song could only write a letter to tell his mother what happened. He believed that his mother would understand. This was also related to Ji Song's performance over the years.
It's not that Ji's mother is so greedy for money. In fact, at home, Ji's mother only has three meals a day, which are commonplace meals and are not extravagant.
As for managing money so strictly, I just don't want Ji Song to go astray. When a person has a lot of wealth, his mentality will definitely change.
When Ji's mother saw so much money, she was a little dizzy. In his eyes, Ji Song was still a child. He, an adult, could hardly control it, let alone Ji Song?
As long as it was a legitimate expense, Mother Ji would be willing to spend all the money in the having too much money is not a good thing, so when Ji Song's letter was delivered to Ji's mother, she opened the warehouse without much hesitation and emptied out the copper coins that filled several rooms.
Changlefang, the eldest princess's mansion.
"Master Korematsu is here."
"Is aunt at home?"
"That's no coincidence. The princess went to the palace today. She was summoned by the Holy Spirit and left before dawn."
"Do you know when you will be back?"
"I can't say for sure, but Master, you can't leave once you're here. If the princess finds out, I can't afford to suffer the consequences."
Since Princess Pingyang was not there, Ji Song had no intention of staying. In response to the housekeeper's request to stay, Ji Song just said that he would come back another day and left in a hurry.
Walking on the street, Ji Song didn't know where to I came specifically to the Princess Mansion. The teacher's place happened to be the day after tomorrow. If I went there in advance, the teacher might not be there, and it would be a bit rude.
The greeting card from the Princess Mansion was delivered yesterday. If it wasn't for something urgent, I wouldn't have even said a word about it.
Changlefang is located on one side of the imperial city, surrounded by princes, nobles, sons and grandsons of the a glance, Ji Song saw green bricks and green tiles, pavilions and tall houses.
When nobles travel, they are accompanied by dozens of knights, and the spacious and luxurious carriage is like a small room.
There are figures of ladies inside, singing and dancing, and the aroma of fine wine and food is boy who opened the way was arrogant and arrogant, the knights guarding him were arrogant, and the pedestrians who encountered any obstruction would rush forward with their riding whips.
When powerful people meet, the one with higher authority goes first and the one with lower status gets out of the who are above are humble, and those who are below are arrogant. Their behavior is worse than that of ordinary people still know that pride cannot be bullied, but these nobles standing at the top of the pyramid do not shy away from it.
Ji Song stood on a high bridge and watched the game of life among the Chang'an nobles. It was interesting for a while, and he had no idea that he had become someone else's scenery.
You are looking at the scenery upstairs, and the people looking at the scenery are also looking at top of a tall building, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes looked at Ji Song who was standing on the bridge. "Is that Ji Song who treated Third Sister?"
The person being questioned was a majestic man in his thirties or less than forty years old. His face was strong and clear-cut. Judging from his appearance, he should be a man of strong character.
The man looked in the direction pointed by the man in colorful clothes. At that time, there was a young man wearing clothes he had never seen it is different from the present, its style and aesthetics echo the beauty of Han people's for some weirdness, there is nothing outstanding about it.
"It should be the baron whom His Majesty personally ennobled. I met him last time on the princess's birthday party."
If Ji Song saw the two people who just talked to each other, they would be young man in gorgeous clothes was the prince of the dynasty, Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng.
And next to him is the prince Xima Wei Zheng of the prince's east Zheng's life can be regarded as extremely exciting. In his early years, he participated in the Wagang Uprising and followed Wei Gong Li Mi, but was not reused.
In the first year of Wude, he returned to the Tang Dynasty and persuaded the British Duke Li Ji to was awarded the title of Prince Xi Ma, assisted Li Jiancheng, and offered advice to pacify Liu Heita and the Shandong area.
After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he was reused by Li the first year of Zhenguan, Zuo Cheng was awarded the title of admonishing the officials and inspecting the school to appease the Hebei area.
Later he moved to the position of secretary-supervisor, participated in government affairs, and edited ancient moving to serve as a servant, he was granted the title of Duke of Julu County and was responsible for the affairs of the province. He was successively awarded the title of Dr. Zuo Guanglu, the Crown Prince and Grand Master, and was granted the title of Duke of Zheng.
However, he was strong and outspoken throughout his life and made it difficult for Li Shimin to step down from power many times. He was very glorious during his lifetime, but was whipped to death by Li Shimin after his death.
"I heard that this person is doing business in partnership with Third Sister and the King of Qin? The name of the perfume is well known even by my father, and it has made all the ladies in Chang'an City crazy about it. It has made Third Sister and the King of Qin earn so much. earned a lot."
Li Jiancheng said with some envy.
To say that Li Jiancheng is not envious would be a lie. No one knows how much it costs to make the profit is not high, there is no need to cover it up so tightly. Since they care so much, it can be seen that the cost of this perfume is not much higher.
"This little guy is also a smart man. The third sister and his mother are sworn sisters, and their relationship is as close as one family. Although he cooperates with the Qin Palace, he is not involved in other unrelated affairs, but he is somewhat involved in it. In the game, it means watching the fire from the other side."
Li Jiancheng had obviously conducted a detailed investigation on Ji Song, otherwise he would not have known such detailed it's normal to think about it. If he can't even figure out the source of King Qin's money, he will be somewhat unqualified as a prince.
"Actually, I have also done some investigation into the details of this lord. Although there are some things that surprised other ministers, in the end, thinking about it, it is not too outrageous."
"Oh! Xuancheng has also done an investigation. I know Xuancheng's character, so he either doesn't do it or does it thoroughly. I want to know what Xuancheng found out, and it surprises you." Li Jiancheng was interested. said.
"promise!"
"After he cured the princess, I started sending people to investigate. At first, there was nothing outstanding except for his medical skills.
It wasn't until he was knighted by His Majesty that this started to break this time, the minister was surprised to find that this man had established a school a few years ago, and the paper used in the school was the same paper that is now being sold by the Qin Palace. It can be seen that he mastered a different set of papermaking techniques than today.
King Qin's papermaking skills must have been acquired from him, because they had been using this kind of paper a few months before , there is the "Three Character Classic"
"Didn't Master Li compile the Three Character Classic?" Li Jiancheng said in surprise.
