As Li Shimin's internal funds became rich, Baiqisi's influence also grew simultaneously.

Baiqisi's shadow can be found in more and more places.

For a rising star like the Datang Trading Center, it is natural that there are people from Baiqisi lurking in it.

This has nothing to do with whether Li Shimin trusts Li Kuan.

"Your Majesty, the average transaction volume of the trading center in recent days has stably reached the limit of 30,000 yuan, and there are signs of continuing to rise. Nowadays, many merchants coming to Chang'an from other places know that the trading center is the wholesaler of goods.

The best place yet.”

Li Zhong reported on the situation of the trading center in detail.

"This Kuan'er is not wrong to say that he is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth. This seems to have exempted the merchant from three months of shop rent, but by delaying the exchange of payment for seven days, he has lost 200,000 yuan in one fell swoop.

The money becomes just like your own. If other people did this, it would be impossible to amass such an amount of money without a lot of anger. However, both buyers and sellers are satisfied with this approach of the trading center."

Li Shimin felt that sometimes his brain was not used enough. This guy Li Kuan always came up with something every now and then.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is known as the most talented man in Chang'an City. Not only is his talent outstanding, but his wealth is also extraordinary."

Li Zhong has been with Li Shimin for many years. Although there is pressure to accompany the emperor like a tiger, Li Shimin is generally kind to his ministers, so from time to time, Li Zhong dares to make a joke.

"Hmph! This guy is just too lazy. If he puts more energy into the court, he will definitely be able to relieve me of more sorrows."

Li Zhong did not dare to accept Li Shimin's words.

In fact, he really wanted to say that if His Royal Highness the King of Chu shares more of your worries, then the worries of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wei will increase.

"By the way, are the houses in the workshop city still not selling well?"

"Your Majesty, the sales of houses in Jinbi Garden have been better than usual recently. Especially after Datang Trading Center became popular, many people bought houses in Jinbi Garden for the convenience of accommodation. However, this wave

After the peak is over, I estimate that it will be difficult to sell the houses there again."

Although Li Zhong admired Li Kuan's earning ability, he was not very optimistic about the future of the house in Workshop City.

After all, no matter how powerful a person is, there will be times when he stumbles.

His impression of Li Kuan would not change at all just because he failed in Workshop City.

"Kuan'er came to the palace a few days ago. I thought he had a conscience and wanted to see me and Princess Chu after not entering the palace for so long. I didn't expect that it was to get policies and benefits for him in Workshop City.

"

Li Shimin felt a little unhappy when he thought about the scene where he met Li Kuan a few days ago.

"Forget it, considering that the land in Zuofang City was originally acquired by him to support the construction of the cement road from Chang'an City to Liangzhou, the houses in Zuofang City are not easy to sell, so I am more or less responsible. After all,

These places are too far away from Chang'an City."

Li Shimin was cruel to his enemies, but he was often cruel to his children.

"Your Majesty, I believe that His Highness the King of Chu can definitely change the situation in Workshop City. In fact, the current situation in Workshop City cannot be said to be bad, it can even be said to be very good. But compared with His Highness the King of Chu's great achievements in the past, Workshop City

The city’s current situation seems unsatisfactory.”

Li Zhong's son was still hanging out with Li Kuan, so Li Zhong knew many things about Li Kuan very thoroughly.

Even some things that Li Kuan himself could not remember clearly, Li Zhong still remembered clearly.

"I was still hesitant about whether to agree to that guy's request, but now that you've said it, I'll support him."

Li Shimin had a constipated expression on his face, feeling that his decision would probably be remonstrated by Wei Zheng, a stubborn subordinate.

…

In the Western Market, the once glorious Abu Spices has long since disappeared without a trace.

The original shop was replaced by a candy shop.

Abdul, the shopkeeper, came to the shop as usual and started a new day.

From selling spices, to pouring icing sugar, to now working in a candy shop, Abdul has actually experienced a lot in the past few years.

Fortunately, the price of sugar in Datang has stabilized, and the output has increased year by year. He has successfully changed his career to a candy merchant, and his business is quite prosperous.

This was also due to his extraordinary vision. As Datang's frosting production continued to expand and the number of frosting shops continued to increase, he keenly felt that he no longer had an advantage in this industry and needed to change careers.

As a result, I found that the profit from candy is much higher than that from frosting.

Abdul has regained a sense of the glory days of spices.

Unfortunately, what makes him regretful is that his identity as a barbarian has always been restricted in Chang'an City.

"My boss! "Datang Daily", please read today's "Datang Daily"."

As soon as Abdul entered the shop, the servant Harry ran over holding a newspaper.

After staying in Chang'an City for so many years, both Abdul and Harry have gained a lot of Chinese knowledge, and they have also developed the habit of reading newspapers.

"Why are you so anxious? Don't you know that I have to read the previous day's ledger every day, and then make a pot of Longjing tea before starting to read the newspaper?"

Abdul still valued Harry, his loyal servant who had followed him for more than ten years.

However, if he really thought so, Abdul was a little unhappy when he saw the person he liked acting so unstable.

"Master, today is different. Look, what is this?"

Harry was not afraid that Abdul would be unhappy, so he directly handed the "Datang Daily" to Abdul's eyes, then pointed to an article and said: "Boss, as long as you buy a house in Workshop City, you will be successful.

I have become a Tang citizen and received the official document issued by Yongzhou Prefecture. From now on, no matter what I do, I can enjoy the same treatment as a Tang citizen."

"What? There are such good things?"

Abdul grabbed the newspaper in Harry's hand and read it eagerly.

"Let's go! Go to Workshop City immediately!"

Abdul quickly read an article and couldn't wait to go to Workshop City.

"My boss, only one person can be allowed to settle in Yongzhou Prefecture per house..."

"Don't worry, I won't leave you behind. You go to the accounting office to get some banknotes. We'll go buy two houses before we leave!"

Abdul has been worrying about his identity as a foreigner for several years, but he did not expect that he would have the opportunity to solve it so easily.
