Logically speaking, Ninth Brother and the Guanyin maid had no daily interactions. Why did the Guanyin maid target Ninth Brother for no reason?
If a quiet person was forced to leave the palace to protect herself, what kind of monster was the palace?
Li Shi Min's face darkened as a vicious light flashed in his eyes.
"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are also the most looked down upon.”
"Although I don't know which expert specially gave this to Yuan Fang to protect himself.”
"Zhen has to thank this person for his reminder. Otherwise, if Zhen were to notice that there was a problem with the safety of the Imperial Palace, we would have to wait until something really happened!”
Cough cough, the two people with complicated thoughts couldn't help but come up with conspiracy theories. At the same time, they also mistakenly thought that the sugar refining process was Li Yuanfang's trump card to protect himself.
It had to be said that there was a mistake. This misunderstanding made Li Shi Min take care of Li Yuan Fang in the future.
It was not because of anything else, but because sugar could break through the monopoly of the aristocratic families.
Well, for example.
If the aristocratic families restricted salt, tea, and resources, they could also use sugar to counter the other party.
As long as he had eaten the best candy, he did not believe that other than honey, these extremely poor and extravagant aristocratic children could really resist eating it.
And all these benefits were brought by Li Yuan Fang. Li Shi Min was a monarch who rewarded and punished clearly.
Of course, Li Yuanfang was completely unaware of such hidden benefits.
……
On the same day.
Li Shimin joined forces with his confidants to invest in the sugar factory.
Li Shimin kept two layers of profits for himself and gave away the remaining four layers. Whoever paid more would get more.
The fourth-tier profit was divided among more than ten people in order to restrain other unscrupulous interest groups, such as: Hu merchants.
In this era, Buddhism had spread from the Heavenly Tribe to the Great Tang, and more and more Hu merchants had come to the Great Tang.
The biggest characteristic of these Hu merchants who traveled south and north was that they would side with whoever gave them benefits. Since they could help India sell frost sugar, when they encountered better white sugar, they would naturally sell the Tang white sugar to foreign countries at a high price.
Even if he handed the construction of the sugar factory to Zhangsun Wuji to help Li Shimin keep an eye on it.
Li Shi Min was once again as busy as a dog and exhausted himself.
Why?
It didn't matter if he didn't investigate, but if he investigated seriously…
Mani, the entire palace was like a sieve. Those, those were all loopholes.
Li Shimin could not sleep well during the day and at night. He could only work with Empress Zhangsun to clean up the villains in the palace.
Empress Zhangsun had found two 'villains' in her own territory, especially one of them who had said a lot of ambiguous words in the past, causing her to make a lot of principled mistakes.
For example, that day when he impatiently chased Li Yuanfang out of the Gong Mansion, this was just one of them.
A woman who knew that she had been maliciously deceived had a huge amount of power.
You don't believe me?
Look at what Empress Zhangsun did. She cleaned up the harem in just two days!
In other words, apart from the places that Li Shiming personally managed, she was furious and turned the harem upside down.
When Li Shimin received a list from Empress Zhangsun, the names recorded on the list were the vermin in the harem who had colluded with him.
"I've been relaxed all these years. I never thought that someone would want to control me and use me to make enemies for Erlang. I…"
Empress Zhangsun's face was filled with regret as she held back the tears from falling from her eyes.
"I know Guanyin's character very well. If you're wrong, we can compensate you privately. You don't have to blame yourself too much. I believe you didn't do it on purpose.”
The tears of a beauty were the easiest to win the pity of others.
Li Shi Min was no exception!
Li Shimin held Empress Zhangsun's hand and comforted his wife earnestly.
She did not realize how biased his words were!
Li Shiming persuaded Empress Zhangsun to leave, and his face instantly darkened. He ruthlessly dealt with the traitors on the list.
……
What about Li Yuanfang?
After the old imperial physician finished his acupuncture, this fellow had already run away from the palace and settled down in the ready-made Prince's mansion.
On the day they left the palace, it began to snow lightly, but it soon cleared up.
Li Yuanfang paid attention to this snow. He earnestly instructed Bai Fu to buy some things and then went to his brick workshop to bring back a batch of bricks.
Why?
Of course, they were afraid that the snow would really stop. At that time, the entire northern region would definitely be dominated by white.
While Bai Fu was shopping, Li Yuanfen had already put on heavy clothes and surrounded the stove all day.
The stoves of this era were very different from the stoves of the later generations. The most obvious difference was that there was no chimney, so the people who were warming the fire had to endure the smoky smoke. Otherwise, they could not warm themselves by the fire.
Li Yuanfang consumed the blueprint of the fire brick bed and instantly learned the entire production process.
But there was no other way. A clever housewife could not cook a meal without rice!
It was the first time they faced such cold weather. All kinds of warm items were scarce. There were no down jackets, thermal underwear, woolen sweaters, and so on.
Li Yuanfang was so cold that he wanted to settle down by the fire!
Fortunately, this absurd behavior was stopped by the head of the internal attendants, Bai Fu, and the head palace maid, Chun Xing.
The days dragged on until the day the royal palace's cleansing ended. The celebratory Bai Fu finally prepared everything his master wanted.
"Your Highness, if it wasn't for the fact that the prince's mansion is located in Longevity Extension Square, which is close to Xi City, it would not be so easy to buy all the things you want.”
Bai Fu pursed his lips and couldn't help but talk about the hard work he had gone through during the purchase process.
Li Yuanfang couldn't stop laughing.
The manor of Longevity Extension Square was indeed good. It was not only close to the West City, but also very close to the Imperial City. Moreover, the Wei River flowed through the square, so it was very convenient to bring water into the house.
Of course, the water supply project was a plan for the spring. Now that it was winter, it could only be put on hold.
"Hehe, if you were any later, I, Your Highness, would have been frozen to death. I am honored to be the first prince to freeze to death in the Great Tang!”
Bai Fu saw that Li Yuanfang was joking, which meant that his master wasn't as angry as I was. He instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
In the prince's mansion, the servants could still huddle together to sleep, but his master was a clean freak. Even a little smell was not allowed to be served in close proximity.
But who would bathe every day in the middle of winter? What was the difference between that and courting death?
It was another matter whether the doctor could treat the cold or not. If it was transmitted to the nobles, even 180 lives would not be enough for them to die.
"May I ask why Your Highness prepared these things?”
"Because I didn't want to wake up in the middle of the night, I prepared these things to build up my resistance. If you don't know how to warm the fire before you go to bed, you will definitely be able to sleep soundly.”
As soon as Li Yuanfang's smug voice fell, Bai Fu suddenly quivered. He was completely shocked by the scene described in his words!!!
