"Owner, pigeon, owner, pigeon from Guangzhou."
Li Yi watched the progress of Princess Yongmu's meal.
When Princess Yongmu put down her chopsticks after eating the last bite of rice and drinking the soup, Song De ran over.
Princess Yongmu followed suit and put down her chopsticks. She was now following the rules when eating. She would put down her chopsticks when Li Yi put down his chopsticks.
Li Yi said it several times, and she agreed openly, but she still put it down.
So Li Yi could only wait for her to eat, and when he finished eating, he would drink the soup with chopsticks.
"Zhang Jiuling's letter? Let me see." Li Yi got up and moved to the resting place.
Song De handed over two small bamboo tubes, with lacquer seals and oil paper on the outside of the bamboo tubes.
The lacquer seal and oil paper of one of the bamboo tubes fell off. It is estimated that the pigeon fell to the ground when it flew to find food to eat and was ground.
Li Yi opened the bamboo tube and took out an envelope roll from it, with a small lacquer seal on it.
There were more than twenty words written on it: A large number of foreign merchants need floral water, five times more than Beijing, and it will be delivered within one month. The deposit has been paid.
"It's not a matter of the court, it's about business." Li Yi showed the letter to Princess Yongmu.
"Will Li Lang deliver it?" Princess Yongmu already knew what floral water was made of. It's difficult, but it's just that little thing.
If it's simple, others can't make it.
The price of floral water has always been high. It is packed in porcelain bottles. When it is wholesaled, a small bottle of 100 milliliters costs one string, which is cheaper than at the beginning.
In summer, a bottle is gone after a little application, but it is usually put in water and used to bathe and wipe the body, which will save money.
Some people drop a drop on a wet handkerchief, wrap it around their wrist and go out with a fragrance.
She also has it herself, but it's not floral water, she uses perfume, there is a small glass bottle with a tube inserted in it, and spray it when using it.
She likes the smell of orchids, so it is orchid perfume, which is very light and made of natural orchid essential oil.
"Send someone to deliver 100,000 bottles, and get 500,000 strings of cash. Also send two pigeons back and tell Zhang Jiuling to collect sales and purchase taxes from the foreign merchants.
For selling things, the foreign merchants pay taxes; for buying things, the foreign merchants pay taxes. But only the sales tax, that is, the export tax, is collected from the people of the Tang Dynasty.
By the way, send a few cages of pigeons over. It is estimated that they will communicate frequently with Chang'an in the future. I hope Zhang Jiuling will also send some pigeons."
Li Yi decided to sell. Zhuangzi produced a lot of them, which were all in stock. They were put in large glass bottles and placed there.
There were a lot of small porcelain bottles, which could be filled at any time, then sealed and sold.
He also knew that the foreign merchants bought them at five times the price, and if they went elsewhere, they would make at least twice the profit, or even more.
Some natives had gold, silver and other things, and the foreign merchants bought them and exchanged them for new and exotic things.
The leaders or chiefs of the natives exchanged things for their own enjoyment.
Song De took the order and left. Li Yi asked Princess Yongmu to send the two bamboo tubes to Li Longji.
Princess Yongmu arrived at Wu Jieyu's residence, where Wu Jieyu was breastfeeding her child.
The baby was hungry and cried once. Before he could cry again, he was picked up and instinctively fed.
Li Longji watched from the side, looking at his son's wrinkled face. He thought that he would look very good after a few days of growth.
Princess Yongmu greeted him first and handed him something: "Zhang Shibo, the Maritime Customs, sent a pigeon to deliver the letter. Li Lang has agreed. One hundred thousand bottles will be delivered, and there will be another pigeon.
And he asked for the import and export tax of foreign merchants and the export tax of Tang merchants. They are all here."
After saying that, she looked at her new brother. The baby ate very seriously, unlike some older children who needed others to coax them to eat.
Babies at this time don't need to be coaxed. They work very hard. They probably know that they will starve to death if they don't eat.
"Auntie, is there enough milk?" Princess Yongmu said to Wu Jieyu.
"Enough, one side is enough to eat. I ate and massaged according to the method your Li Lang said in the newspaper.
Sure enough, the baby was born, and the milk started to come soon, and the milk was sufficient.
Your Li Lang also taught people how to massage in the newspaper. Many people who didn't have milk after giving birth were massaged out."
Wu Jieyu's voice was very soft, afraid of scaring the baby.
The baby didn't care at all, as long as he had food, other things would stand aside.
Princess Yongmu followed and said: "I heard that there are people who massage too much to startle the milk in advance. If the intestines are unblocked tomorrow, I will go for a check-up."
"It's ready. If not, I will trouble your Li Lang." Wu Jieyu looked very easy to talk to.
In fact, she was very entangled. At first, she hoped that Li Yi would die suddenly and Li Yi would protect Queen Wang.
Queen Wang, who obviously had no children, took the medicine prescribed by Li Yi and got pregnant and gave birth to a boy.
A few years later, she didn't want Li Yi to die.
She knew that Li Longji valued Li Yi. After Li Yi died, it was estimated that Li Longji's first thing would be to make Li Jianyao the crown prince.
If Li Jianyao died, the child born by Queen Wang would still be the crown prince.
This crown prince position seemed to have nothing to do with her son. The people of Jingzhao Prefecture also knew that Li Dongzhu supported Queen Wang.
Li Dongzhu was gone, and Queen Wang's child must be the crown prince. That was Li Dongzhu's will.
Li Yi's death seemed to have no benefit to her, and external expansion was affected.
With a large territory, wouldn't her children have more money to enjoy? Even going to a distant place to be king would be fine.
Li Longji opened the other bamboo tube, and the contents of the two letters were the same.
"Ah! It's still my fault that I didn't get rid of the prime minister directly and didn't write anything to me."
Li Longji was resentful. He thought Zhang Jiuling should at least greet him. He only wrote to Li Yi about business.
Zhang Jiuling resigned because some of the county magistrates who were selected by the Ministry of Personnel could not write during the assessment.
It was just a letter to persuade the people. Many county magistrates could not do it. What a joke!
Li Longji thought Zhang Jiuling was angry and refused to talk to the emperor.
"Father, Zhang Shiboshi must think that business matters do not involve the court and have nothing to do with you." Princess Yongmu spoke for Zhang Jiuling.
He asked for toilet water by standing a pigeon. He had to mention His Majesty? He just wanted something. What does it have to do with the court?
"That makes sense." Li Longji was in a good mood again. He thought along the words of his eldest daughter. There was nothing wrong.
The baby tilted his head back and pushed with his little hand. He didn't want to drink anymore. He was full.
Wu Jieyu began to see if her son was choking or vomiting milk. When everything was fine, she held her son and looked over to read the contents of the note. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net
The newspaper said that you should not put the baby on the mattress right after feeding. Hold the baby for a while, the baby will fall asleep soon, and then put it down.
"This large sum of money is probably exchanged for something. How much does Li Yi want to give?" Wu Jieyu looked at Princess Yongmu.
"One hundred thousand bottles, five hundred thousand strings." Princess Yongmu did not hide it.
"One hundred thousand strings of customs duty in and out? Money, it's too easy to make." Wu Jieyu did not have as much money as Queen Wang.
The money spent in her palace was less than five hundred strings a month, most of which was rewarded to eunuchs and maids in the palace.
She herself did not need money, and Li Longji and Li's manor provided her with food, clothing and daily necessities.
Including fermented bean curd, shrimp oil side dishes, soy sauce, chili sauce, garlic sauce, perfume, floral water, etc.!
