Chapter 393: The First Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty: Li Shimin goes to Yizhou, Li Min returns to the Prince of Shu's Mansion, and there is another lingering and sorrowful relationship with Princess Qin Mengxin, so there is no need to mention it again.
What makes Qin Mengxin excited is that this time, Li Min is finally willing to take her to Yizhou.
No matter how harsh and dangerous the conditions in Yizhou were, Qin Mengxin felt satisfied as long as she could stay with her brother Zhen.
The next time, Li Min found Cheng Chuliang, Yuchi Baoqi and other friends and went to drink happily.
Next, Li Min used the channels of the Chinese Commercial Bank to sell perfume, soap, cream, shampoo and other cosmetics in Chang'an City.
Now, the Chinese Commercial Bank has its own channels in Chang'an City.
Moreover, many channels of the Wu family have been integrated by Wu Meiniang.
There are some secret channels that even the two idiot brothers of the Wu family are unaware of.
As for those channels on the surface, Wu Meiniang has not moved for the time being, and will not attract the attention of the Wu brothers.
And those secret channels were all included by Wu Meiniang.
Therefore, the channels of Chinese commercial banks in Chang'an City further developed and expanded.
As for Chang'an, there are also many secret channels of the Wu family.
However, Wu Meiniang has not used these for the time being.
The Chinese Commercial Bank developed very quickly, but the development time was ultimately too short and the foundation was not enough.
For the time being, Wu Meiniang is not busy expanding outward.
Today's Chinese trading houses have deep roots in Chang'an City and Yizhou.
Expansion is only a matter of time.
I heard that these perfumes, soaps, shampoos, etc. were all used in the palace.
Moreover, these are all produced by China Commercial Bank.
Nowadays, the products produced by Zhonghua Commercial House are almost synonymous with high-quality products.
Because every product launched by Zhonghua Commercial Bank is of high quality.
Now China Commercial Bank is equivalent to the leader of Datang luxury brands.
Therefore, with almost no publicity, these cosmetics started selling like crazy in Chang'an.
These cosmetics are really used in the palace.
However, Li Min actually only gave it to Concubine Yang.
But now, Concubine Yang's position in the palace is extremely stable.
Empress Changsun was originally a virtuous queen, and her relationship with Concubine Yang was also good.
And as Li Min's status in Yizhou gradually consolidated, Concubine Yang's status in the palace became even more stable.
This time, Li Min brought some gifts to the queen, but he did not give her cosmetics.
Therefore, for the time being, Concubine Yang is the only concubine who uses cosmetics in the entire palace.
As for Li Shimin, he has become deeply obsessed with the smell of perfume recently.
Therefore, I have been staying at Concubine Yang's place in the past few days.
This made the other concubines jealous and jealous, and they also inquired about it.
What kind of magic did Concubine Yang use to tie Li Shimin's heart?
You know, although Concubine Yang was born with a beautiful and fragrant country, she is no longer young after all.
Recently, it has fallen out of favor a bit.
But I didn't expect that Concubine Yang would regain the emperor's favor so quickly.
Finally, they found out that it was Concubine Yang who used the cosmetics sent by the King of Shu.
I have to say that King Shu is really a filial child.
This made those concubines feel envious again.
Even the queen can't help but feel a little tasteful.
Because none of her children is as filial as King Shu.
And when the Chinese trading houses outside began to sell cosmetics, the concubines sent people out to buy them.
For them, competing for favor is a top priority.
So, for a time, everyone in the palace began to use cosmetics.
This move really won Li Shimin's favor.
However, in the end, Li Shimin still felt that the smell of the perfume on Concubine Yang was the most pleasant, and he was still obsessed with it...
…
A few days later, Li Shimin made a decision. He decided to go to Yizhou in person and leave the prince to supervise the country.
Because I always hear about how Yizhou is doing.
Li Shimin still felt that what he saw with his own eyes made him most at ease.
In the past, a single trip from Yizhou to Chang'an took nearly a month.
It took two or three months to go back and forth. As the king of a country, Li Shimin did not dare to leave for such a long time.
But what now?
It only takes half a day to get from Chang'an City to Yizhou City.
You can even make a round trip in one day.
Since it was so convenient, Li Shimin thought of going to Yizhou to have a look.
When Li Shimin was leaving, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong, Li Jing and other generals expressed their intention to follow Li Shimin to protect him.
Hearing the request of these old guys, Li Shimin couldn't help but curl his lips.
What kind of escort sounds so nice?
I heard that the buildings in Yizhou are very exquisite and there are a lot of delicious food. Do you want to go there and have a look at it for these foodies?
However, since there has been no fighting recently and they are not needed, Li Shimin agreed.
As for the group of civil servants, they naturally stayed to assist the prince.
Naturally, Cheng Chuliang, Yuchi Baoqi and other Li Min's friends also wanted to follow him to Yizhou to have a look.
After the matter was settled, they started to go out three days later.
In order to make the officials with five surnames and seven hopes headed by Wang Xin give up, this time, the guards brought by Li Shimin, plus the group of generals, and Li Min's guards and others, together, totaled more than 2,000 people.
.
This time, Li Min also purchased a large amount of silk, cloth, and some items that were not available in Yizhou from Chang'an City.
Taken together, these items weigh a full 150,000 to 60,000 kilograms.
The total amount of these goods was far beyond the minimum amount that Wang Xin, the fifth surnamed Qiwang, and other aristocratic family members had written down when they signed the life and death certificate.
When Li Shimin and others were going to Yizhou, all the civil servants, led by the prince, sent them off respectfully at the station outside the city.
In front of everyone, all the goods were loaded into the truck.
Li Shimin, the guards, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others got into the carriage together.
After everyone sat down and the goods were loaded, under Li Min's order, the fire started.
Soon, thick smoke rose into the sky, the train made a huge roar, and the vibrations on the ground could be felt within a few hundred feet.
This scene caused the faces of the civil servants who were seeing him off to change.
After warming up for a period of time, under Li Min's order, Su Pengcheng started the train directly.
Now, Su Pengcheng has been officially appointed as the conductor of the Pioneer train.
In the past few days, Li Min handed Su Pengcheng a large pile of train driving, maintenance and other related information.
Now Su Pengcheng is not just an ordinary train conductor.
Even the officials in the maintenance and upkeep of railways and train repairs were all taught by him.
