Li Er originally wanted to go to the Cheng Manor to find Cheng Chen after the court session, but the Minister of Dependencies sent a memorial.
In the near future, the Tibetan envoy would be visiting the Great Tang, along with the Tibetan Princess. It seemed that they had the intention of establishing diplomatic relations with the Great Tang.
This was a joyous occasion for the Great Tang. The Great Tang had two great threats, the Turks in the north and the Tibetans in the west.
If the Tibetans could truly establish diplomatic relations with the Great Tang, then the Great Tang's western region would be stable, and it would be able to gather all of its forces to resist the Turks.
Li Er was so busy with this matter that he didn't look for Cheng Chen for four or five days.
In the past few days, Cheng Chen had been idle and focused on developing his own perfume.
Cheng Chen expanded the scale of perfume production and transformed all the empty rooms into factories. Now, he had produced more than 10,000 bottles of perfume.
There were also many styles. These perfumes were enough for Cheng Chen to open a shop.
Li Lizhi, Li Shu, and Li Zhenying had not been idle these days. They had been helping Cheng Chen make perfume. Of course, they also had a purpose.
Every time a new bottle of perfume came out, the three of them would fight to try it. Although the process of making perfume was a little tiring, Li Lizhi and the other two enjoyed it.
Cheng Chen looked at the perfume inventory and smiled." Almost."”
"Fourth Young Master!"
The butler ran over and said,"Fourth Young Master, I've found the shop you asked me to find."”
"It's located in the center of Vermilion Bird Avenue, where the flow of people is the highest in Chang 'an.”
"Good!" Cheng Chen nodded in satisfaction." Quickly arrange it according to the layout I told you before."”
"We'll open for business tomorrow!"
"Yes, Fourth Young Master." The butler responded and quickly went to prepare.
Li Lizhi, Li Shu, and Li Zhenying walked over." Little brother, are you planning to open a shop?”
Cheng Chen smiled and nodded." Yes, we have so much stock. We can sell them now."”
Li Shu pursed her lips." Husband, if you ask me, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Why don't you just give the perfume to the palace? It's so simple."”
"How can that do?" Cheng Chen's lips curled up." Good things must be enjoyed by the people of the Great Tang.”
"Besides, it's too difficult to get the money back from paying tribute to the palace. I don't even know when I'll receive the money. In addition, what if your father scams me?”
"There's nowhere to cry."
Li Lizhi smiled helplessly." Little brother, you underestimate my father. He is the emperor of Tang. How could he cheat you of your money?"”
"That's hard to say." Cheng Chen pursed his lips, his words full of distrust towards Li Er.
"Alright, there's actually a more important reason for me to open a shop.”
"What's the reason?" Li Lizhi asked.
"I need money!" Cheng Chen grinned.
"Are you short of money?" Li Lizhi, Li Shu, and Li Zhenying were all stunned.
Who was Cheng Chen? That was the son of the Duke, how could he lack money?
"Husband, isn't your reason too lame?”Li Shu curled his lips.
Cheng Chen shrugged and didn't explain further.
In the past few days, Cheng Chen had been looking at the Zhenguan historical records rewarded by the system. He realized that there were quite a few major events in the Great Tang recently.
First, it was the Turkic invasion of the south. Then, it was a disaster, a locust plague. Then, the Tibetan envoy and princess visited the Great Tang.
These three events were all related. According to the course of history, the Turkic invasion of the south had dealt a great blow to the Great Tang. Countless soldiers had died, and the people north of Chang 'an had been plunged into misery.
In the end, it was Li Jing who had led the entire country to repel the Turks. Although the Great Tang had won, it had also brought immeasurable losses to the people north of Chang 'an.
Li Er was prepared to use the autumn harvest to help the victims of the war, but before the grain could ripen, the locust plague came. A large amount of grain was destroyed, and the Great Tang's national strength fell back by ten years.
The degree of tragedy was comparable to the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
This tragic scene happened to be seen by the Tibetan envoy, who had originally wanted to establish peace with the Great Tang.
However, seeing this scene, they immediately changed their policy of establishing diplomatic relations and forced Li Er to marry.
This was why Princess Wencheng later married Tubo.
Looking at these historical materials, Cheng Chen also had a headache. At the same time, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.
As a citizen of the Great Tang, he naturally could not stand by and watch the Great Tang's calamity. Moreover, he was the son of the Duke and was receiving a stipend from the Imperial Court, so he had to worry for the Imperial Court.
Also, Li Er and Zhangsun Wugou treated him well, so he wanted to help.
However, to solve these disasters, the only thing that could not be separated was money.
After Cheng Chen sold the perfume, he would definitely be able to accumulate a large amount of wealth. At that time, he would have the ability to solve these disasters.
As the saying went, what was taken from the people was used by the people. Cheng Chen's actions could be considered righteous.
"Alright, don't ask so many questions. Sister Zhi 'er, Sister Shu' er, I still have something to tell you!”
"The shop will open tomorrow. You must invite the Empress no matter what.”
"Whether or not the perfume can become a hit depends on the Empress.”Cheng Chen instructed.
When Li Lizhi and Li Shu heard that Cheng Chen had a favor to ask of them, they were extremely happy and agreed readily.
"Little brother, don't worry. Even if I have to fight, I will bring mother here!”
"Yes, leave this matter to us.”Li Shu patted his chest and promised.
Li Lizhi thought about it again." Royal sister, let's not delay. Let's enter the palace now."”
"If mother has other arrangements tomorrow, then it will be troublesome. We will settle it with her in advance.”
"That makes sense. Let's go."
"Little brother (husband), we'll be leaving first!”
"Okay, be careful on the road." Cheng Chen smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't worry." Li Lizhi and Li Shu smiled and left.
After the two left, Lee Jeong-Ying looked at Cheng Chen and said,""Little Chen, this matter isn't that easy to handle. You have to be careful in case someone causes trouble.”
When Cheng Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up." Sister Zhenying, you're afraid that those spice shops will treat me as an enemy, right?"”
Li Zhenying nodded." You have to know that those spice shops all have backgrounds. They are either relatives of some minister or nobles.”
"Once your perfume is released, it will definitely harm their interests. How can they not cause trouble?”
Cheng Chen smiled and looked at Li Zhenying." Sister Zhenying, I didn't expect you to know about business in addition to fighting in the army. You're amazing."”
"I don't know anything about business. I just understand after reading a lot.”Li Zhenying smiled faintly.
"That's quite amazing." Cheng Chen smiled." However, I'm not worried about them causing trouble.”
"Why?"
"Sister Zhenying, isn't this simple? I've invited the Empress, who would dare to cause trouble?”
"Have they lived enough?"
Cheng Chen smiled and said," Even if they cause trouble before the Empress arrives, don't we still have you? You're the Hall General. It shouldn't be difficult for you to mobilize the Imperial City's guards, right?"”
Li Zhenying was stunned. She looked at Cheng Chen and said in shock,"This kid is really shrewd. Every step is calculated so accurately.”
"Counting in the fight between the Empress and me.”
"Brat, are you really only eight years old?”
Li Zhenying was getting more and more curious about Cheng Chen.
"I'm going out for a while." Li Zhenying turned around and was about to leave.
"Sister Zhenying, transfer more people!" Cheng Chen said with a smile.
Li Zhenying paused for a moment, turned her head, and pouted." I really owe you!”
"Haha…"
There are also flowers and evaluation tickets. They are also very low. Support me! I'm begging! Thank you!
