On the second day, Li Shimin issued an imperial edict, ordering Li Min to leave the palace and open a mansion.
Then Li Min was given a mansion in Qinrenfang, Prince Liang's Mansion.
This palace has actually been built a long time ago, and all the furniture inside is available.
It's just that Li Shimin didn't speak, and Li Min never moved out.
Qinrenfang is one of the busiest neighborhoods in Chang'an City.
Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Gong, Li Daozong and others all lived here.
After moving to Prince Liang's residence, he became closer to Cheng Chuliang, Qin Huaiyu and others.
And for Li Min, being able to open a mansion means more than just being free from jurisdiction and being able to go out on the streets freely.
But once the government is established, Li Min can summon his subordinates, appoint officials, and establish his own small team.
After the prince opens his palace, he can confer senior officials such as Chang Shi and Sima from the fourth rank, consult with those from the fifth rank to join the army, and even more officials below the fifth rank.
The opening of the mansion meant the real beginning of development for Li Min.
Therefore, when the imperial decree came down, Li Min couldn't wait to start moving abroad.
Fortunately, Li Shimin was busy reviewing the memorials and did not come to Hanxiang Hall and did not see this scene.
But the mother-in-law, Concubine Yang, was very sad when she saw that Li Min was moving out. Her tears fell down and she couldn't stop them.
Seeing Concubine Yang so sad, Li Min felt uncomfortable.
Li Min couldn't help patting Concubine Yang on the shoulder and said: "Concubine, how far is Qinrenfang from the palace? It's just a few steps. The child can come to see Concubine at any time, so don't hurt Concubine."
Concubine Yang couldn't help wiping her tears and said: "You child, you have been causing trouble since you were a child. If you want to get out of my mother's eyes, you don't know what to do? How can you let my mother feel comfortable with you?"
Li Min quickly said: "Mother, you can rest assured. The child is now grown up and sensible, and will never do any messy things."
Li Min tried to comfort her, and finally Concubine Yang gradually stopped crying.
Li Min didn't have many things, so he moved them all quickly.
When Li Min was about to leave, Concubine Yang gave Li Min 10,000 yuan. Li Min didn't want it, so Concubine Yang forced it on Li Min. In the end, Li Min had to let Xiao Liuzi take it with him.
At the end of the day, Concubine Yang also gave Li Min an old eunuch named Shen Wei.
"My son, this Shen Lishi is very skilled in martial arts. You must not neglect him and treat him kindly."
During the Tang Dynasty, Lishi was another name for eunuchs.
The famous Gao Lishi who served Yang Guifei in history means the eunuch named Gao. He is not called Gao Lishi himself.
However, Li Min also knew that this Shen Wei must have been chosen by his father to protect his mother and concubine.
But now, because he went out to open a mansion, his mother-in-law sent him to protect her.
If Li Min had no choice but to accept the ten thousand yuan just now, now Shen Wei and Li Min are absolutely unwilling to accept it.
Because once you accept Shen Wei, your own safety is guaranteed, but who will protect the mother and concubine?
Seeing Li Min's desperate refusal, Concubine Yang couldn't help but hold Li Min's hand and said: "Zhen'er, my mother and concubine stay in the palace all year round and don't go out, how can there be danger? Besides, there are people around my mother and concubine.
Protected by other expert guards, he is safe! Take this Shen Lishi away and listen to my mother and concubine."
In the end, Li Min still refused and had no choice but to leave with Shen Wei.
…
Finally, Li Min moved to the new Prince Liang's Mansion.
Li Shimin gave Li Min ten palace maids, ten warriors, and fifty guards.
However, this small amount of manpower is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for such a large palace.
After opening the mansion, Li Min needed a large number of manpower and various talents.
Recruiting talents requires money.
Of course, after opening the government, Li Min's monthly salary was also much larger.
And there was also the land granted to Zhuangzi and so on.
However, if you want to feed a person in Prince Liang's palace and live a prosperous life, you must find another way.
Li Min was actually quite dissatisfied with life in the Tang Dynasty.
In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, there is a lot of difference.
If he wants to change all this, he needs to have enough spending power to buy more products from the mall to change his life.
And if he wants to have enough wealth value, he must make more money to spend money.
Now that he has opened a house and is free, making money is also on the agenda.
Of course, the most important thing at the moment is their first business, the Zhenguan table and Zhenguan chair business.
First, they need to get their first business off the ground.
When the people brought by Li Min were busy cleaning up the palace.
Cheng Chuliang, Qin Huaiyu and other friends came with manpower and gifts to congratulate and help.
With so many people helping, the palace was soon sorted out.
If someone comes to congratulate you, of course you have to entertain the guests.
Considering that they had just moved in today, the furniture was not quite complete, and there were no ingredients. In the end, they had to buy ready-made dishes from outside.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, we have made dozens of sets of Zhenguan chairs and Zhenguan tables. Now it's time to sell them to others."
Li Min nodded and said: "Of course we can sell it to outsiders now, but before that, we should advertise first."
Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but scratch his head and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, what is advertising?"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "Advertising means spreading the word. We want many customers in need to know that we sell Zhenguan tables and Zhenguan chairs here. In this way, we can sell a lot of products."
After listening to Li Min's words, Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "Your Highness is indeed Your Highness. Yes, we want to advertise, we must advertise! By the way, Your Highness, how should we advertise?"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "For advertising, we can divide it into two steps. In the first step, we will first give the Emperor three sets of Zhenguan tables and Zhenguan chairs, and then lend him fifty sets."
Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Your Highness, of course there is no problem in giving it to the Supreme Emperor, but what does this have to do with advertising?"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "The Supreme Emperor will have his birthday soon. When the Supreme Emperor entertains guests, he uses our Zhenguan table and Zhenguan chairs. Do you think that the people who can attend the birthday banquet are either rich or noble, how many people can see it?
Our Zhenguan table and Zhenguan chair? Isn’t this a great opportunity for us to promote them?”
Hearing Li Min's words, Cheng Chuliang and other friends couldn't help but nod their heads.
Then, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, you said to take it in two steps, what about the other way?"
Li Min couldn't help but said: "The other one is handing out leaflets on the street!"
