Chapter 1040 Good things, if they can be dedicated to our great King of Persia (please subscribe and vote)
Hakim returned to his house in Chang'an and called his confidant butler and his eldest son Hatami.
Rubbing his hands, stepping on the soft Persian carpet with his feet, he gave instructions with a red face.
"You should hurry up and get ready, hire more manpower, and wait until early April.
Take the silks that have been prepared and the fine white porcelain, and I will go back to Persia myself."
"Father, didn't you agree that the caravan returning to Persia this year will be led by a child?"
Hatami looked at his father in bewilderment, who was obviously in a bad mood.
"Khatami, my son, I did think so before, but now, the situation has become different."
"I will soon be able to get a large quantity of the soaps and moisturizing creams from Zhao's Western Region Liulicang."
The butler Aladdin couldn't help but look at his master in shock, his eyes widened.
"Master, is it true or false? I heard that Zhao's Western Region Liulicang.
Regardless of whether they are relatives of the emperor or dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty, their purchases are restricted."
"Ha... Aladdin, you are right, but Sir, I have established a line with the backstage owner of Zhao's Western Region Liulicang."
"Do you know who is the owner behind that shop?"
Facing the proud look on their master's face, the butlers Aladdin and Hatami shook their heads in confusion.
Seeing the expressions of these two people, Hakim laughed happily, sat down cross-legged, and took a sip of grape wine.
He put one of the most delicious dates in the desert into his mouth.
"That's the one who has eaten bear's heart, leopard's gall, and drank wolf's heart and dog's lung soup.
At the age of only eighteen, he has already been promoted to the title of Duke of Dong'e County, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and Cheng Sanlang, the deputy leader of Zuo Nei of the East Palace."
After hearing this introduction, both Hatami and Aladdin couldn't help but suddenly realized.
No wonder, the things sold in Zhao's Western Region Liulicang are extremely expensive, but they are all good treasures that are sought after by the people of Chang'an.
However, I have never heard of anyone daring to collect protection fees from Zhao's Western Region Liulicang, or even trying to take advantage of this shop.
I just heard that the backstage of Zhao's Western Region Liulicang is very tough, so tough that even high-ranking officials dare not reach out.
It turns out that she is really hard as a girl, and it is so hard backstage...
Cheng Sanlang has a reputation for unparalleled medical skills, and his father, General Cheng, has a reputation for dominating the court. It can be said that everyone in Chang'an knows about it.
Especially General Cheng, who is definitely notorious for being the kind who can stop children from crying at night.
Hatami subconsciously twisted it down. He still remembered that the door god of his house had already been affixed to the gate of his house, just like the people of Chang'an.
The painting of the door god posted by my house shows General Cheng and his family, young and old, holding murderous weapons and looking ferocious.

"...Hatami, you are not familiar with those noble people in Persia. This time I go back and just go for a walk."
"After all, if such a good thing used by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can be dedicated to our great King of Persia.
At that time, the selling price will be more valuable than gold of the same weight."
The butlers Aladdin and Hatami could not help but look at Hakim who was chatting and dancing with their eyes shining brightly.
"There are many Persian merchants who came to the Tang Dynasty to do business, but who can get such a good treasure?"
"It's just me, so I have to go back and take care of things for the sake of our family."
Hatami nodded vigorously, patted his chest and made a promise.
"Good father, I will definitely run our shop well and not embarrass you."
Hakim stroked his long beard and nodded with satisfaction.
"By the way, you will accompany me tomorrow to deliver alfalfa seeds to Duke Lu's Mansion, and by the way, we will become familiar with each other."
"Remember, if Mr. Cheng needs anything during my absence in Chang'an, you must satisfy his request. Do you understand?"
Hatami nodded, understandingly.
"Father, don't worry, my son knows how to do it. If our family can really catch up with a top dignitary like Tang Guo, it will be our blessing."
The laughter of the father and son and the butler Aladdin echoed wantonly in the house.
The barbarian maids and servants who were coming and going were all looking over there curiously.
The picture of General Cheng and his son exorcising evil spirits from the house posted on the gate of the house is still as bright as ever, especially the big copper bell eyes of General Cheng, which are even more shining.

"One, two, three, start!" Following Cheng Chubi's conductor, several Da'an Palace musicians who had learned the square dance ritual began to play.
Under the cheerful melody and rhythm, Wu Meiniang blushed and began to dance gracefully according to the square dance taught by Cheng Sanlang.
At this moment, Concubine Yuwen and several other concubines were also gathered here, staring at Wu Meiniang's slim and lithe figure with curiosity on their faces.
Cheng Chubi, as the initiator and advocate of square dance in the Tang Dynasty, stood in front of the concubines, spitting and pointing.
"Everyone, ladies and gentlemen, have seen it. This kind of dance is not only pleasing to the eye, but also allows all the joints of the ladies' bodies to be exercised."
"Moreover, it can also maintain your beautiful body shape with such exercise.
Not only is it beneficial to the body and mind, but it can also prevent the occurrence of various diseases that middle-aged and elderly people are susceptible to..."
Cheng Chubi didn't keep his mouth shut. As he opened and closed his mouth, he could hear the concubines of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor nodding frequently.
There were even young concubines who liked to dance and be active. They couldn't help but sway their limbs slightly to the rhythm.
Looking at Wu Meiniang who was dancing gracefully to the accompaniment with bright eyes, she felt that if she came on stage, she would definitely be no worse than this little girl.
Princess Yuwen was also very interested, especially after suffering such a serious illness, she had to play the suona every day to exercise her lung capacity.
Concubine Yuwen had already felt that she must never get sick again. God knows next time Cheng Sanlang, who has miraculous medical skills but is easy to get results.
In what name would I allow myself to do something shameful?
These days, Yuwenshi has learned from the Supreme Emperor that Cheng Sanlang, a young man, has the ability to make trouble, and he really can't afford to offend him.
"Forget it, after hearing what you say, let me give it a try first..."
Yuwen finally made up her mind and stood up.
Naturally, Cheng Chubi couldn't stand inside the hall and admire it, but retreated outside the hall.
After all, even if these noble people are older, they are still noble people, and not everyone can be lucky enough to admire their dance.
Cheng Chubi stood outside the hall and heard Wu Meiniang's sweet voice.
"Don't be shy, my dear, pay attention to the movements of your crotch, yes, shake it to the rhythm..."
