But on second thought, Li Shimin hesitated.
Was that even possible?
30,000 strings of money in one day?
This was even more profitable than selling salt and iron monopolized by the government. Thinking about it carefully, this was really too far-fetched.
Li Shi Min couldn't help but think of Li Tai's sophistry, and his face darkened,
"Hmph, Fang Xuanling has been fooled. Are you trying to fool me? Otomo, do you think thirty thousand strings a day is possible?”
"Tell me the truth?" The old eunuch laughed bitterly.”
"Just tell me the truth."
"Impossible!"
"Why?" Li Shimin nodded.
"I believe that 30,000 strings a day is considered a high consumption price. However, the number of customers had to be high. How many people in the Great Tang could afford high-end spending? There wasn't much at all. Besides…it was just a bath. The Fourth Prince cared about the face of the royal family, so he did not bring in any meat. How do we earn money?"
"Your Majesty, don't you think so? He could bathe in the river or at home. If he really couldn't, he could go to the mixed hall (big bathhouse). How much money could that cost? Why did she have to spend so much money to take a shower at your place? Could it be that showering would produce flowers?”
If Li Tai had heard this, he would definitely have retorted.
This was complete nonsense.
Then what are you saying? When it comes to eating, you can eat if you cook or buy from outside. If you really can't do it, you can pick it up from the ground and eat it. Then why did he spend so much money to eat in a restaurant?
This was complete nonsense.
It was not a logical question at all.
If he came to the bathing center to take a bath, then what was he taking a bath for? That was professional, enjoyable, and service!
Li Shimin nodded his head,""You're right. Wasn't he bathing anywhere? Why did he have to spend so much money to wash it? In my opinion…this time, Green Sparrow is going to suffer a huge setback. First of all, no one in Chang 'an City knows about his Heavenly Earth. If he wants to let the people in Chang' an City know about it, he will have to manage it for a few years. Can the green sparrow last that long?"
"Secondly, isn't there a shower everywhere? Why should she spend so much money to bathe at his place? Do you think it's possible to wash flowers?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another eunuch ran in and whispered a few words into Otomo's ear.
Instantly, Otomo's expression changed drastically.”
Li Shi Min saw his expression and asked,""What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince... The Fourth Prince has sent people to spread the news throughout Chang 'an. Knocking on the residences of all the high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang 'an and promoting it at their doorsteps. Under the banner of the emperor's enjoyment.”
"Presumptuous!
Li Shimin slammed the table in anger. The enjoyment of an emperor? He…How could he use such a banner to deceive people?”
Otomo panicked as well. He had never expected Li Tai to be so daring. This…this was simply the courage of a bear and a leopard. The enjoyment of an emperor? The emperor was standing right in front of him…
Li Shi Min was also panicking, afraid that Li Tai would tarnish the royal family's reputation."Quick, issue an edict. Tell him to stop this slogan immediately!”
"It's too late, emperor. The Fourth Prince moved in an instant and split into ten groups. He distributed flyers everywhere on the streets and knocked on the doors of all the houses of dignitaries to promote them. The entire Chang 'an knew about it! It was too late to issue the decree now. Everyone knew that the Heavenly Earth was like an emperor's enjoyment.”
"Unfilial son!"
Li Shi Min roared and sat on the chair in despair, covering his forehead in a daze.
Unfilial son!
Unfilial son!
The enjoyment of an emperor? Was that something that could be spread out?
If I do it well, outsiders will say that I, Li Shimin, am extravagant and licentious.
People might say that a prince of the Great Tang is swindling people.
There was no need to say anything about treason and heresy. After all, he was a prince. It was not against the rules for a prince to say such things.
But how can you use my name!
Aaaaaaah!
Li Shi Min collapsed!
No matter how he calculated, he would never have expected Li Tai to be so pervasive!
It was difficult to guard against thieves in the family!
