"From today onwards, the citizens of Chang 'an can receive a box of Veteran Brand Tooth Powder for free!”
Dong dong dong…
"The Ming Cult Brothers Foundation has invested in this to reward new and old customers. From now on, all Chang 'an citizens can receive a box of Veteran Brand Tooth Powder for free!”
……
A day later, groups of disabled veterans suddenly appeared on the streets of Chang 'an. Each of them held a gong in their hands and shouted loudly as they struck the gong.
"Brother, can I really get tooth powder for free?”
"Of course it's true. How can His Highness Ke's words be fake?”
" It's true. As long as you go to the ten Veteran Brand Direct Selling Shops in Chang 'an City to register your household registration and receive a token, you can receive a box of tooth powder!”
"Now that you have ascended the throne, you can take the talisman to collect it when you have time.”
"Big brother, I ascend the throne, I ascend the throne.”
……
Suddenly, a whirlwind blew past Chang 'an.
In the private room of the tea house of the Immortal Gazing Restaurant.
Cui Zongbo and Dugu Yanwen sat among them.
Dugu Yanwen looked at the old soldiers who were beating drums and gongs as they passed by. He then looked at Cui Yingying and asked with a frown,"Good niece, what should we do now? In Li Ke's shop, each talisman can only be purchased once. It's not easy for us to get so many talismans.”
"If it's a forgery, Li Ke has a record book with a special serial number. It can be seen at a glance that this kind of talisman hasn't been widely used yet.”
"We can still find a way to take advantage of the loophole, but Li Ke has deliberately reduced the amount of perfume sold in the past few days. For things like tooth powder, it's useless no matter how much we hoard.”
Li Ke's move was similar to the real name registration of the ration system, which resolved their counterattack.
As the registration continued to improve, their previous methods would soon be useless.
"Take it back from the people at a higher price!" Dou Kang suggested.
"That's a good idea!"
"Yes, we'll take it back from the commoners at a higher price!”
……
Cui Yingying looked at these elites from aristocratic families and could not help but sneer in her heart. If she did not guess wrongly, this was probably the result that Li Ke wanted.
Once the price was increased and the people saw that it was profitable, the price of these things would increase!
It was equivalent to the commoners reaping the benefits of the aristocrats!
It had always been the aristocrats who harvested the people, but now, it was the people who harvested them instead.
With the hatred that His Highness had shown for the greed of the aristocrats, he would definitely be happy to see it.
Moreover, she was certain that this kind of bidding would not continue.
This was because such a hyped increase in price would definitely lead to a gradual increase in the harvest price.
The cost of the gentry clan would continue to rise, and in the end, they would not be able to afford it.
She was also certain that Li Ke would secretly help to raise the price, allowing the commoners to reap the benefits of the aristocrats.
There was also registration and identity verification.
Cui Yingying was shocked by Li Ke's ambition as long as she thought of Li Ke taking the opportunity to do this.
Now, it was only limited to Chang 'an.
With the popularity of the veteran brand products and the promotion of free tooth powder, Li Ke would be able to grasp the local household registration of every place these products arrived in the future!
Even the Imperial Court couldn't do it!
The reason why the gentry clans had such great power was because many commoners were attached to them and became illegal households controlled by the gentry clans.
The clansmen did not pay grain taxes to the imperial court, and their lives were all controlled by the gentry!
The Great Tang had hundreds or even thousands of black households, no matter how many gentry clans there were!
In Cui Yingying's opinion, tooth powder was too cheap.
The skill required was not even comparable to a toothbrush.
A little salt, mint, and a large amount of bluestone…
Li Ke would use the smallest cost to control the household registration of the world in the near future!
And the veterans that Li Ke had won over who could read roughly were the helpers that Li Ke had used to complete this task.
Cui Yingying wondered if Li Ke had been plotting this since he started teaching the soldiers how to read.
Was this really what a prince who did not fight for the throne should do?
"Alright, while there are still loopholes to exploit, we will try our best to stock up on goods. The shops under the control of the various families will also send out people to purchase goods from the people! I want as many as you have!"
Cui Yingying looked at her grandfather and the aristocrats as they made their decision.
She did not open her mouth to remind them. These people could be considered heroes, but now they were obviously confused by the gains and losses on the surface. They did not see that the household registration was Li Ke's most terrifying plan.
She was now even more interested in Li Ke's next move.
He wanted to see Li Ke's true motive!
Cui Zongbo pondered for a moment and said solemnly,""Yesterday, Lord Zhangsun gave me a piece of news. Li Ke was able to make glass because he received a revelation from the chickens in the Prince's mansion…"
"Chicken? Cui Lao, is this reliable?"
"I'm not sure. It's said that the news came from the Imperial Palace.”
"It shouldn't be fake. It's said that the chickens in the Wu Mansion can pull down something like glass.”"We'll try to bribe the training camp and get the recipe. We'll also think of a way to get a chicken from the Wu Mansion!" Cui Zongbo continued.”
"Alright, let's do that!"
……
In the harem.
"Second Brother, do you see the deep meaning behind Ke 'er's move to resolve the stockpiling of goods by the aristocratic families?”Zhangsun Wugou reminded with a smile.
Li Shiming frowned slightly and allowed Zhangsun Wugou to massage his shoulders.
After a long time, his eyes lit up. This bastard wanted to use this opportunity to secretly collect household registration in the world!”
"Even if the aristocrats discover this in the future, there's nothing they can do to stop it. People are all greedy for cheap things. Just by registering their household registration, they can get a box of tooth powder, and the commoners won't reject it. It's just like how the aristocrats collect the same rent as the court's taxes from the commoners. The commoners would rather hand over their land and become illegal households under the protection of the aristocrats to avoid corvee!”
"Just a little bit of profit can move the world's population! To achieve what the Imperial Court could not!”
"This useless bastard has finally made some progress.”Li Shi Min laughed.
Zhangsun Wugou smiled and shook his head." You, as a father, really don't understand Ke 'er at all. His advancement this time is not what you mean by advancement."”
"If I'm not mistaken, his spearhead is aimed at the aristocrats of the world. Once this investigation is completed, the clansmen controlled by the aristocrats will no longer have a place to hide.”
Zhangsun Wugou knew what her husband wanted.
"If he can really accomplish this, it would be equivalent to digging out the foundation of the Shi clan!”Li Shi Min sat up straight in excitement." No, I have to help him secretly. This matter must be done!"”
"Your Majesty, there are no secrets around you. Once you interfere, you will definitely attract the attention of the Shi clan.”Zhangsun Wugou solemnly reminded.
Li Shi Min couldn't help but feel helpless. He knew that this was the truth.
The Emperor's every move was under the watchful eye of those who were paying attention.
There were almost no secrets in this palace.
He smiled helplessly and continued to tease,"I heard that you spread the method that bastard used to make glass?”
Puff!
Zhangsun Wugou smiled sweetly.
"You, who knows how many people you'll scam this time. This isn't something an empress who's the mother of the world should do.”
"ChenQie only said that she knew.”Zhangsun Wugou smiled and blinked.
"It's been hard on you. I know you're helping that bastard. I only hope that bastard will remember your kindness and not be petty like before.”
"To be able to get a Guanyin maid is the greatest love the heavens have for me.”
Li Shi Min said solemnly. No one knew better than him why Zhangsun Wugou did this.
"Hand over my visiting card and tell King Wu that I'm going to visit him at the Wu Residence!”Li Chengqian ordered.
"Let's go, this king is going to find my brother. My brother is a soft-hearted person. Even if I have to cry, this king is going to get a chicken from King Wu's mansion!”With his experience at Tumen Pass, Li Tai, who thought he had some understanding of Li Ke, clenched his fists and said resolutely.
