The princesses of the Great Tang were usually very domineering and had great power. Of course, all of this was given to them by Li Er. This kind of thing was impossible for others, but now Li Chen had opened up the situation.
Empress Zhangsun understood Li Er's intentions. She wanted to find a legitimate person for Li Chen first, so that she wouldn't have to keep an eye on the two palace maids and a few servant girls to cause trouble all day long.
However, it was a little difficult to choose.
After thinking for a moment, Empress Zhangsun said to Li Er,""Second brother, is this internal or external?"
" Naturally, it's external!!"
The matter of Changle had already made him feel like his heart was about to explode. If another surname Li came, wouldn't it turn the world upside down? It was impossible in a short period of time, so he could only search from the outside.
There was a lot of learning involved in how to choose. Li Er did not want Li Chen to get together with the aristocratic families, nor did he want some important officials with deep roots in the court to keep stirring up with him. However, he could not choose someone too bad, or else they would not be compatible. After all, he was just conferred the title of county duke and was also going to become the son-in-law.
She had to have status, but her roots could not be too deep. In addition, she was a concubine!!
After picking through layers of conditions, Empress Zhangsun realized that there were not many suitable candidates.
These conditions were contradictory. Empress Zhangsun searched her mind and found that there were very few people in the Great Tang who had status but did not have deep roots.
Li Er had undoubtedly given her a difficult problem.
Moreover, only Empress Zhangsun could arrange this kind of thing. Li Er did not know much about it. He was the emperor of the Tang Empire, so why would he stare at other people's women? And it was a subject's.
The Great Tang was not the disgusting Qing Dynasty, where they sent your daughter to the palace when they saw her beauty.
Thinking hard but to no avail, Empress Zhangsun also had a headache. Suddenly, she thought of Li Chen's previous identity and asked,""Second brother, did you say before that the warrior had rendered meritorious service in managing the rebels in Lizhou?”
Li Er heard this and nodded." That's right. I'm thinking of finding an opportunity to give him a mention. Wu Shi has performed very well in Lizhou."”
Empress Zhangsun was overjoyed." Second Brother, we have a candidate. However, the other party seems to be around the same age as Changle. I'm afraid it's not appropriate."”
Empress Zhangsun picked Wu Shi Yao immediately. Like Li Chen, he was a merchant and had started his career with Li Yuan. Later, he became a meritorious minister. Compared to other ministers, Wu Shi Yao's roots were not deep because he had been working everywhere. This was also considered to meet the requirements. In addition, Wu Shi Yao's daughter was not a legitimate son, so it could be said that he had not disgraced his daughter.
Li Er looked at Empress Zhangsun and explained,"" I heard that the warrior's family has two decent girls, but they are not the direct descendants. It would not be a disgrace if she were to be Li Chen's concubine. However, the other party's age is similar to Changle's. This..."
She and Li Er had originally thought that Li Chen was already twenty-five years old and could not marry Chang Le for the time being. In addition, they had to prevent Li Chen from going out to mess around or keep an eye on a few palace maids and servant girls to cause trouble. In addition, they had to interrupt to give Li Chen some benefits. That was why they had made this decision. However, the age of this side wife was the opposite of Chang Le's. Wasn't she a little too young?
Li Er shook his head, hugged Empress Zhangsun tightly, and smiled." It's fine. I'll send someone to send the letter to Lizhou. It's just a side room, not the main room, so it's not elegant.”
As long as it wasn't his daughter, Li Er didn't care so much. Besides, it was a side wife, not a wife. Where did all these rules come from? Presumably, Wu Shi Yao wouldn't object. After all, if Li Er said so, Wu Shi Yao wouldn't dare to embarrass him, right?
If it was a legitimate son, Li Er wouldn't have done this. Since it wasn't a legitimate son, then there wasn't much of a problem.
Empress Zhangsun felt that it made sense. In any case, the benefits were given to Li Chen. As for how he would deal with it, that was his business.
After making up his mind, Li Er immediately sent someone to Lizhou to send a message to Wu Shi. In addition, he planned to let Fang Xuanling or Cheng Yaojin inform Li Chen of his good intentions.
I know that you are not young anymore and you can't marry Princess Changle yet, so I'll get you a side room first. Are you satisfied?
........
In order to earn money to expand the national treasury, Li Er was extremely fast. He quickly had Fang Xuanling select a group of people to enter the factories around the Li Residence. He even sent a large number of Imperial Army guards to tell everyone that this place belonged to him, Li Er. No one was allowed to approach it, or else they would bear the consequences.
With Li Er's protection, Li Chen was not worried that someone would come to spy on secrets or poach people. The sweater factory officially started work and entered a busy stage. It was not as small as before.
In addition to the people who weaved wool and sweaters, Cheng Yaojin also brought a group of people with him. They transported a large amount of coarse salt and waited for Li Chen to refine snow salt. Of course, Cheng Yaojin would also prepare the materials needed as soon as possible.
The required materials were immediately sent to Li Er's table. However, after Li Er checked, there was no other movement. Although he really wanted to hold everything in his hands, he did not want to offend Li Chen. He could only endure the pain and pretend not to know. He cupped his hands and gave the three-layer interest to Li Chen's pocket.
In order to prevent anyone from leaking the news, Chen Yaojin even went to the place where Li Chen was refining the snow salt and stayed there. His eyes were fixed on the people in charge of refining the snow salt.
Li Chen was still the same. After teaching others, he became a hands-off shopkeeper. He was not afraid that Li Er would take his things, unless Li Er was no longer interested in the things in his hands.
If such a thing happened, Li Chen would not have any benefits for Li Er. Li Er was absolutely clear about which was more important. Even if he knew that refining coarse salt was actually very easy and the cost was very low, he would not have any evil thoughts.
Because Li Chen still had too many things that Li Er wanted, coupled with Li Chen's mysterious background, Li Er did not dare to act rashly.
The school that Li Chen had built was now completed. However, the tables and chairs were still being customized and had not officially started school yet. Now, he had made use of the classrooms in this school.
"Thirty strings per bottle, twelve bottles per box, a total of ten boxes. Ten boxes per day as a minimum, where's the money?？”
