In Wanchun Palace, Li Zhi was sighing while looking at Yishu Lihua. Hearing that the maid of Wanchun Palace said that someone asked to see His Highness, Li Zhi naturally asked the maid to bring in.

There must have been a lot of people coming to the Wanchun Hall in the past two days, and Li Zhi would naturally not block those who gave money.

Seeing Chuntao over there, she asked the maid to retire and went to bring someone to see His Highness herself.

After a while, Chuntao led Min'er in, and Min'er looked at His Royal Highness King Jin, and tightened her neck a little bit timidly.

Although Cai Renrang sent 500 taels of silver and said that His Royal Highness Jin Wang would not mind, but would His Royal Highness Jin Wang not mind?

The other talents are all 800 taels, and only their own talents are 500 taels. What if King Jin holds a grudge.

Li Zhi looked at the court lady, Miner was too nervous, she had something on her mind, and she didn't even greet King Jin. Seeing her appearance, Li Zhi couldn't help but think of a kind of animal, a frightened quail.

"Which nobleman's maid are you?"

"Ah! I am... I am Min'er, the maid next to Wu Cairen!"

Chapter 98 Wu Meiniang

Hearing this sentence, Li Zhi took two steps towards Min'er excitedly, and grabbed Min'er's arms, scaring this timid girl quite a bit.

Seeing her frightened eyes, wanting to break free but not daring to break free, she glanced at King Jin, and quickly moved her eyes away in fright.

Li Zhi knew that he was a little too excited, so he quickly let the girl go, looked at Chuntao next to him, and winked.

The girl didn't understand, and Li Zhi coughed unconsciously.

"Chuntao, I'm suddenly thirsty and unbearable, make tea for me."

Chun Tao looked suspiciously at His Royal Highness Prince Jin, and then at the court lady Min'er who came forward. Li Zhi looked at her, as if she hadn't moved, and slapped the girl's buttocks hard. It was shimmering and turbulent.

Chuntao was in pain, so she let out an ah, and quickly responded to His Highness, and left Wanchun Hall.

When he got out of the palace gate, he took a look inside, with anger in his heart, and murmured in his mouth.

"Your Highness won't like this maid! But she is not in good shape, and her appearance is not exquisite. She is not as good as the maids in Wanchun Palace. Why did His Highness suddenly like her?"

Chuntao was walking, thinking wildly, bumped into someone all of a sudden, seeing that it was Miss Xia He who was going to Wanchun Palace, she hurriedly pulled her away.

"What's the matter, Chuntao, you look out of your mind?"

"Sister Xia He, don't go to the Wanchun Palace, His Highness is doing something."

"What to do?"

"What else can you do, bully Wu Cairen's maid Min'er."

After hearing this, Xia He hurriedly stopped and went to make tea with Chun Tao.

At this time in the early Tang Dynasty, tea was generally boiled. Even in later generations, this method was still very popular in many places in Northwest China, such as potted tea.

In Wanchun Palace, after Chuntao left, Li Zhi pinched Min'er's arms again, and frightened the girl to kneel in front of Li Zhi.

Li Zhi hurriedly helped her up, seeing her thin and small body, with a timid look, he supported her.

"Don't be afraid, is your family a good person?"

"Returning to His Royal Highness King Jin, my family is very nice, Cai Ren asked me to send 500 taels of silver, saying it was her heart."

"Ten taels?"

Li Zhi asked softly, but Min'er was so frightened that her legs trembled and she almost knelt down again. If King Jin was not still supporting her at this time, she would have knelt down again.

"Your Highness, don't blame my talented people. My talented people are also pitiful. This 500 taels is already the most silver taels my talented people can give."

Li Zhi patted the girl on the shoulder, looked at her, and for some reason, after hearing what the girl said, he suddenly felt that his heart was slightly tugged by something.

He naturally understood that Min'er was not talking nonsense. During the history of the early Tang Dynasty, due to Wu Meiniang's special existence, Li Zhi knew Wu Meiniang's life and history very well.

At this time, Wu Meiniang, who was a talented person in the palace, could be said to be helpless. Since the death of her father, the governor of Jingzhou, Wu Meiniang, her mother and two sisters lost their greatest support.

Not only was he kicked out of the Wu family by his half-brother, but he was forced to live temporarily in Yangzhou.Moreover, Wu Meiniang, who finally entered the palace, has never been liked by her father, and she has been a talented person for 11 years, which can be seen.

The position of the fifth-grade talent was bestowed by the father in gratitude for the loyalty of the Governor of Jingzhou to the Taizu.At that time, the warrior Xun followed the Taizu from the dragon and set up troops in Jinyang. Naturally, he made great contributions to the Li family all his life. In the end, the Taizu died. As the governor of Jingzhou, the warrior Xun was grateful for the kindness of the Taizu. Terminally ill.

Wu Meiniang was not favored by her father, only because her ancestors concealed her as a fifth-grade talent. It is conceivable that the relationship with the Wu family may only have passed through a very short honeymoon period, and then there will be no more.

The Wu family will not care about a fifth-grade talent, it is impossible for the Wu family to send money to the palace for Wu Meiniang to manage everywhere.

The mothers and sisters in Yangzhou are both willing and powerless, and they may need Wu Meiniang to help them.

And in the palace, although Wu Meiniang naturally didn't have to worry about the food and living expenses, but various daily rewards were indispensable.

Her monthly salary is not enough, not to mention operating in the palace, it may be difficult to maintain her daily life.

At this time, Wu Meiniang is far from the later appearance of all the power in the world, just a silent little grass in the palace who is not cared about, living stubbornly and ordinaryly.

"I know, what's your name?"

"The servant's name is Min'er!"

"Well, this king has written it down!"

Min'er was really frightened. Looking at King Jin, her legs trembled violently.

"Your Highness, please don't blame my talented family."

"How could I blame her? Well, you don't have to be afraid. The 500 taels are accepted by the king. Help me send a message to your family. The king will write down her heart."

Min'er was still afraid, but Li Zhi had already let go.

Min'er knelt down in front of Li Zhi, knocking on the ground like garlic, when Li Zhi saw it, he quickly knelt down and supported the girl.

At this time, my heart was even more sad, it was really not easy for Wu Meiniang in the palace, even the girl who followed her was so timid and fearful.

"Min'er, didn't the king say that, the king doesn't blame her, so you don't have to be afraid."

Li Zhi used some strength to help the frightened girl up.

"By the way, what do people in your family like?"

"Write calligraphy and painting, and sometimes ride horses, but not often, Cairen doesn't have much money to take care of the people in the stables."

Li Zhi, who had never met Wu Meiniang, trembled again and again, as if he and Wu Meiniang were born with a spiritual connection. Hearing that she was not doing well, Li Zhi felt sore for no reason.

"Well, I want to see her. Go back and tell your family that I will wait for her at the horse farm tomorrow morning."

"Also, tell her that the king will wait forever! Get back!"

"Yes, Your Highness, this servant will leave."

Min'er left, leaving behind the 500 taels of silver that she brought from Wu Meiniang. At this time, Li Zhi put his hand on the silver ingot, and his heart still couldn't help but feel sore.

There is a kind of power in the dark, as if the hearts of Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang are connected by an invisible red thread separated by endless time and space.

If she is doing well, Li Zhi will be happy, if she is not doing well, Li Zhi will be sad.

At this moment, thinking about what Min'er said, and thinking about the girl's fearful and cowering appearance, Li Zhi's heart ached suddenly and he couldn't help himself.

"what happened?"

Li Zhi asked himself a question in his heart, and suddenly walked out of Wanchun Palace, looking to the north, that direction will be where the Qianling Mausoleum of later generations will be.

Li Zhi remembered the reason why he came to Datang, the collapsed stone figurine on Sima Road in Qianling Mausoleum.

Qianling, stone figurines, Sima Road, the gradually setting sun.

"Wu Meiniang, you are a woman that this king will never get rid of in this life!"

Chapter 99 The Biggest Backer of Tang Dynasty

Li Zhi was heartbroken again, he staggered into Wanchun Hall, sat down on a chair, and felt better.

The spring peach and summer lotus tea over there had already been brewed, and they were served to His Highness. Li Zhi looked at his two personal maids, took a sip of the tea, and finally walked out of the heartache.

Heaving a long sigh of relief, Li Zhi drank the tea slowly, got up and walked out of the Wanchun Hall, and the two maids followed quickly, watching His Highness enter the Lizheng Gate, and headed for the Lizheng Hall where the empress lived.

Outside the Lizheng Hall, Chun Tao and Xia He stayed outside the hall, and Qiu Ju and Dongmei, who were serving Empress Changsun inside, were also driven out of the Lizheng Hall by Li Zhi to guard the gate.

"Zhi'er, what's the matter today, the queen mother sees that your complexion is a little pale."

"Mother, the emperor is fine. I just thought that I would trouble my mother with some things, so I don't know how to speak to my mother."

As Li Zhi said, he had obediently stood behind Empress Changsun, gently rubbing and beating his shoulders for his mother.

"For money? Today, your imperial sister has already told the queen mother about it. How far are you short?"

"70 taels!"

Li Zhi continued to beat his mother's shoulders, not daring to look at her.

"70 taels, this is not a small amount, Zhi'er, I'm afraid you have already thought about it, and you are going to use the money that your two imperial sisters have left here with your mother."

Li Zhi hugged his mother's queen all at once, lying on his mother's back, embracing the eldest grandson queen in a coquettish manner.

There are only two men in this majestic Tang Dynasty, one is Li Shimin, and the other is Li Zhi. Li Tai and Li Chengqian don't dare!Although she is also the biological mother, she is not the youngest child after all.

Empress Changsun pinched her son's arm, looked back at the somewhat coquettish little son, and patted the back of his hand lightly a few times.

"Do you have confidence in doing business with that girl from the Cui family?"

"Mother, don't worry, with mother and father supporting the child, this money will definitely earn back a lot."

"You child, tell the queen mother, what are you going to do?"

Empress Changsun gently pulled Li Zhi's hand, and Li Zhi had already turned to face Empress Changsun, and snuggled into the arms of her mother with a cute appearance.

Like a tired bird returning to its nest, or a fishing boat entering a port.

Li Zhi naturally told Empress Changsun about the operation method of Yinzhuang in the later generations that he told Cui Yan. Empress Changsun didn't think much about it at first, but after listening for a while, she became more and more aware of this kind of business operation. The pattern is different from the previous one.

In the past, business was an exchange between silver and goods, and money was earned from the difference in the price of goods trade.At this time, what my youngest son said was exactly the way that money begets money.

The more Empress Changsun heard, she felt that this was a good way. As the number one sage empress through the ages, Empress Changsun was not only able to command the Six Palaces.In fact, he was also Taizong's most powerful helper in terms of governance.

Regarding business, although Empress Changsun has never been involved, with her eyesight and life experience of these years, how can she not think of the future prospects of the business model proposed by her son.

"Mother, what do you think?"

"Okay, Zhi'er's management method, the queen mother thinks it's wonderful."

Li Zhi buried his head deeply in the arms of his mother, and Empress Changsun caressed the back of his son's neck and head.

"Zhier, when will you use silver?"

"Tomorrow the emperor will send 100 million taels to the bamboo garden."

"Well, did you see the money and food that the Ministry of Civil Affairs is going to transfer to Jiangnan?"

The queen mother is really the queen mother, and after hearing such a sentence, she immediately saw through the little innocence in Li Zhi's heart.Li Zhi didn't need to hide anything from his mother, nor could he.

Li Zhi nodded, only caring about sticking with his mother, like a child who would never grow up.

"The queen mother used the silver from Sizi and Hengshan this time. Remember to fill it up as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, the queen mother. After earning the money, the emperor will return the money of the two imperial sisters first. In the future, the emperor will use [-]% of the money to fill the treasury."

The other princes earn money, wishing to get it all in their own pockets, but Li Zhi's words are thinking about the treasury, thinking about the Tang Dynasty, and sharing the worries of his father, queen, mother and queen.As her real prince, there is actually no need to pay taxes at all.

For him, the home is the country, and the country is the home, so there is no reason to pay taxes.There is no such thing as taxation in the industries run by other princes.

In fact, Li Zhi originally thought that [-]% would be given to his mother, but the words changed after all.Here in the mother's place, in fact, paying into the national treasury is more favorable to the mother's favor than stuffing it into the mother's small coffers.

And this has entered the national treasury, and the father will definitely record it.

Empress Changsun was naturally relieved, she hugged her somewhat coquettish son, looked at him, and smiled with relief.

Li Zhi naturally buried his head in his mother's arms, all the way chaotically, no, all intimacy.

"The emperor has this heart, your father and mother will be pleased."

When he left the Lizheng Palace, Li Zhi naturally understood that the most important link in the bank business has been completely opened up.

After [-]% of the income changed father and queen mother, they gave full support. In the future, it would be strange to see whoever dares to steal his business without being scolded.

Something happened on this side, Li Zhi was very relieved, thinking that he had an appointment with Wu Meiniang tomorrow, and today he returned to Wanchun Palace, so he asked Chuntao to go to Yuhua Palace to make arrangements.

Yuhua Palace is actually a royal bathhouse. People in Tang Dynasty love to bathe and freshen up.

For example, the most famous Huaqing Pool, of course, was the name after Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and it was called Tangquan Palace at this time.

Hearing that His Highness was going to take a bath in Yuhua Palace, Chun Tao was a little surprised. Since His Highness recovered from his illness, he always took a bath in Wanchun Palace, so why did he suddenly go to Yuhua Palace today.

Chuntao hesitated for a moment, and then received a hard hit on her buttocks.
