Great Tang Southern Emperor

However, just under this harmless appearance of humans and animals, there is a fox's heart hidden. Back then, Wu Fucheng could be said to be eaten all over the world - how many people who are not familiar with him were caught by his trick The one who was cheated even lost all the coffin, and even people who knew him would feel good about him because of his humble appearance, so they would be willing to do business with him?

"Get up." Wu Fucheng put his posture very low, and Li Zhen's complexion couldn't help but eased a little, and he stopped showing off, and said bluntly: "Listen to Xiao Fuzi, you brought a lot of things?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, it is so." Wu Fucheng's face became sincere: "Caomin heard that the typhoon hit Yuezhou the day before yesterday, and the people suffered heavy losses. They were so anxious that they immediately mobilized funds and bought [-] cars from neighboring counties. There are also [-] carts of tents, all of which are dedicated to His Highness, hoping to help the disaster situation a little bit."

Li Zhen raised her eyebrows, and she was even more satisfied with Wu Fucheng: "Oh? Unexpectedly, among today's businessmen, there are people who care about the world like shopkeeper Wu. It's rare, rare, just relying on shopkeeper Wu. The words Uprising and Shang are not much worse than the ancient Nie Yi and Xian Gao."

"Your Highness is truly over-rewarded, the grass-roots are ashamed." Wu Fucheng said modestly: "To be honest, the grass-roots are also from a farming family. They also suffered a lot when they were young and suffered a lot of hunger. They grew up eating a lot of food. , I know the sufferings of the people too well, so after the grassroots became prosperous, they did not dare to forget their origins, and they helped those who were suffering as much as they could."

"Shopkeeper Wu is indeed an example of a businessman." Li Zhen was even more satisfied: "I will accept your things, but you will not be rude, and your things are considered to be a great favor to the king—how about it, Do you have any request? If so, as long as this king can do it, I will definitely promise you."

"For the sake of the country, the grassroots dare not accept the reward." Wu Fucheng refused without even thinking about it—just kidding, it's just a little food and tents, what can you get in exchange?

My ultimate goal is your boat, without paying anything, you will give it to me so easily?

Favors need to be managed, wait slowly, now you have a good start, as long as you are careful and maintain this favor in the future, one day you will be able to get a boat from you.

Li Zhen nodded: "That's it, no matter what, this king of love will write it down, if you have any requirements in the future, just mention it."

"Yes...Speaking of which, Cao Min did have a small request." Wu Fucheng hesitated for a moment, then suddenly whispered.

"Oh? But it's okay." Li Zhen didn't feel unhappy like in the novel. From the conversation just now, it can be seen that this Wu Fucheng is a smart person who knows how to advance and retreat. He didn't even ask for a boat, let alone do so now, so his request might really be just a small one.

"It's like this." Wu Fucheng thought about his words, and said: "The grassroots know that this typhoon has passed through the border, and many people in the entire Lingnan have been affected. It is also impossible, so what Caomin means...can His Highness allow Caomin to take the initiative to help the court to help some people in the name of the Datong Chamber of Commerce...Your Highness, what do you think?"

"That's it... the king agrees."

"But the grass people really hope to do something for the common people... What? Your Highness, did you agree?" Wu Fucheng who reacted was confused, why did he agree so easily?Are you not afraid that we will take the opportunity to buy people's hearts?You must know what's behind us, but Confucianism, and King Heyue, you are deadly enemies.

"What can't you agree to? After all, shopkeeper Wu, you have good intentions." Li Zhencai didn't care about this, and waved his hand easily: "You can make arrangements, for charity merchants like you, this king is absolutely supportive Yes, you can rest assured that this king will let the officials below cooperate with you."

"Yes, thank you Your Highness, if there is nothing else, Caomin will not bother Your Highness." Although he didn't know why Li Zhen agreed to him, Wu Fucheng knew that his goal had been achieved, so he offered to leave.

"Well, let's go."

"Caomin retire."

Chapter 671 The purpose is not pure?It does not matter.

Chapter 34 Is the purpose impure?It does not matter.

"Your Highness, Datong (note: this is Datong, it is not from Datong just now, behind Datong is Confucianism, but behind Datong is supported by aristocratic families) Fu Xueyi, the treasurer of the Lingnan Branch of the Chamber of Commerce, is also bringing a large number of people. The supplies should have the same purpose as Wu Fucheng's." After sending Wu Fucheng away, Li Zhen was about to rest for a while when Xiao Fuzi came in again.

"Really, why are you still queuing up to come? Do I have to be exhausted to be reconciled?" Li Zhen struggled, wondering if she had been tired all day?I didn't even drink my saliva after I came back, really.

"Then Your Highness, why don't you tell them to wait for a while?" Seeing that Li Zhen was really tired, Xiao Fuzi felt distressed, and suggested in a low voice: "Anyway, they have been waiting for His Highness in Yuezhou City for two days, and they want to come. Let them wait a few more hours, and they won't say anything."

"Forget it, let everyone come in, let him in." Li Zhen shook her head and rejected Xiao Fuzi's proposal. It would be fine if this kind of thing was done from the beginning, but now she has already received a Wu Good luck, if you delay the time at this time, it will be unfair, and others will feel uncomfortable.

"Yes."

It really made Li Zhen right. These people seemed to be lining up. After the Datong Chamber of Commerce, representatives of the other large chambers of commerce also begged to see Li Zhen one after another, so that the next Datong Chamber of Commerce After half a day, Li Zhen still didn't get a chance to breathe. It wasn't until the representative of the last chamber of commerce was sent away that the sky was already dark, so Li Zhen could rest for a while.

"Your Highness, I've been busy all afternoon, let's drink some ginseng soup." Wu Meiniang came in with a bowl of ginseng soup, and seeing Li Zhen's exhausted appearance, she couldn't help but frowned slightly: "These people are too much, It is really unforgivable to rush over to disturb you knowing that Your Highness has just come back without even taking a breath."

"I can't help it. After all, they are kind-hearted, and the things they offered really helped me a lot." Li Zhen poured down the ginseng soup in one gulp, stretched comfortably, and then felt relieved. Ge You appeared vividly lying down with his head resting on the back of the chair, while Wu Meiniang automatically stood behind Li Zhen, giving him a massage to relieve his fatigue.

"Your Highness, from the perspective of my concubine, I'm afraid these people may not have any good intentions." Wu Meiniang expressed her opinion after deliberation: "As the saying goes, 'If you have nothing to show courteousness, you can steal or rape'. A generous gift without asking for anything in return, I'm afraid the picture is not small."

"It's okay, I know what they are thinking." Li Zhen laughed lightly: "They just want my boat, but they also understand that such mere supplies and food can only establish a little human relationship with me. It doesn't completely move my heart. Only when they continue to invest in it, slowly increase their bets, and increase their weight in my heart, can the ultimate goal be achieved.

So in order to successfully buy the boat from me in the end, they will definitely do their best and will not be slack in the next step in helping the victims-this point, I am afraid that even the court itself cannot do it. "

"So, Your Highness, you have long seen that their intentions are impure?" Wu Meiniang was even more puzzled after hearing this: "In this case, why did you accept their kindness so easily, Your Highness?"

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Of course I have seen it long ago, but so what? With the joining of these merchants, the imperial court can save a considerable amount of energy and devote it to rescue elsewhere, and the people can also be rescued in time ——Don't worry about the plans of the merchants, at least the court saves energy and the common people get benefits, isn't that enough?

What's more, even if these people have other thoughts, so what?They have invested their own things to help the victims, so shouldn't they be allowed to gain some fame? "

Li Zhen smiled lightly, but shook her head in her heart. After all, Wu Meiniang is still a woman. Although she is full of courage, she is too small after all.Moreover, as a woman, she is inherently lacking in stamina. Li Zhen can be sure that if Wu Meiniang takes her place and faces people like Wu Fucheng, after learning about their plans, she will probably drive them out immediately. ?

When Wu Meiniang heard it, she immediately felt that it made sense, and she said with embarrassment: "Your Highness is far-sighted, and my concubine is far inferior."

"Hoo... Chi... Ho... Chi..."

However, what Wu Meiniang answered was a long and cadenced snoring sound. Wu Meiniang was startled, looking at Li Zhen who had fallen into a deep sleep, she couldn't help feeling distressed. Knowing what he remembered, he suddenly laughed lightly, presumably because he remembered some embarrassing things about Li Zhen.

"Ah... um!" This time Li Zhen slept very comfortably, and she was lazy, and just about to get up, Wu Meiniang came in with the washing tools.

"Your Highness, are you awake?"

Seeing Wu Meiniang's beautiful face, and because of the morning, Li Zhen was very ashamed of Shi Geng, and quickly pulled up the blanket, pretending to be casual and said: "Well, thank you for your hard work, these things make you feel uncomfortable. The next person can do it."

Fortunately, Wu Meiniang was arranging tools at this time, but she didn't see it, otherwise something unspeakable might happen.

"How can a concubine be careful when doing things?" After waiting for Li Zhen to wash, Wu Meiniang helped Li Zhen put on her clothes again: "Your Highness, where are you going today?"

"I don't need to go out today. According to the previous report, apart from Panyu County, Yuezhou Wharf suffered even more heavy losses. Almost all ships that did not enter the berth were damaged by the typhoon. There was not a single intact ship on the entire river." , I may have to deal with related compensation issues today.” With the help of Wu Meiniang, Li Zhen finally managed to put on the clothes—by the way, this ancient costume is really not easy to wear, ordinary clothes are better, two people spend two Burning incense should be enough. If it is a formal dress, more than a dozen people will be required to wait on it, and the time spent is calculated in hours, which is terrible.

No wonder there is an idiom called "clothes come to reach out". Co-authoring this sentence is not to say that people are lazy, but that it must be like this in order to put on clothes.

It's not that Li Zhen didn't think about carrying out a clothing reform, and even he himself had already put it into action. However, when he took out the so-called simple clothes (actually suits) he made, he was rejected by the court. The old pedants sprayed a dog blood dripping.Even more extreme people directly scolded him for forgetting his ancestors. Even Li Shimin and the ministers who were close to him in normal times were opposed to this matter.

Chapter 672 Compensation?

Chapter 35 Compensation?

Speaking of which, Li Zhen was also terrified at the time. He has always been smooth sailing since he crossed over, and he rarely faced adversity. This was the first time he was opposed by so many people. Thoughts, I dare not mention this matter again—of course, the clothes display this time is not without gain. Although the suit was not accepted, the magical clothes such as underwear have won the unanimous praise of the court quite unexpectedly, and It soon became popular in Datang, and it can be regarded as a consolation prize for this unsuccessful clothing reform.

However, despite such a blow, Li Zhen's idea of ​​popularizing suits has not subsided, and clothing reform is imperative—it's not that Hanfu is not good, in fact, it is difficult to find more beautiful than Hanfu in the world. Dress up.

The problem is that although Hanfu is gorgeous, it is very troublesome to put on or take off, and it is very time-consuming. In the eyes of Li Zhen, who pays attention to efficiency, this is a great waste.

This kind of waste is nothing in the slow-paced ancient times, but under the promotion of Li Zhen, Datang will enter the capitalist society sooner or later, and what is the most important thing in the capitalist society?It is efficiency. Hanfu is too inconvenient to wear, and the popularity of simple clothing will sooner or later be the general trend.

Therefore, although the first clothing reform failed, Li Zhen has decided that as long as she inherits the great treasure, she must promote the clothing reform. In the future, Hanfu will mainly be used as a kind of national clothing. It is the main trend in the future - I think that after understanding the convenience of suits, there should not be many people who have nothing to wear Hanfu.

"Compensation?" Wu Meiniang frowned again: "They were greedy for cheap and didn't pay the berth fee. Now their ship is hit by a storm. It's their own bad luck. The problem lies with them. What's our business? Why? Should we pay compensation?"

There are so many ports in Yuezhou, and each port can hold dozens of large ships at the same time. In addition, Li Zhen also designed and built many safer berthing positions in the port.

This kind of berthing position is extremely safe. Even in the event of a typhoon that is rare in a century, it can ensure that the ship, its cargo and sailors will not be damaged, which is very practical.

However, this kind of berth is relatively expensive, and only those ships of large chambers of commerce will use it—this is still in the case of precious cargo. Generally, even the ships of large chambers of commerce can only berth at the port. .

Under such circumstances, it is okay to deal with normal weather, but now it is the typhoon season, especially this typhoon, which flies in directly along the mouth of the main general. The so-called safe haven has no effect at all. It also caused all the boats to suffer except for the boats moored in the berth.

But because of the arrival of the typhoon, a large number of ships anchored at the port of Yuezhou. There were nearly 1000 ships. Except for those ships parked in berths, hundreds of ships outside were destroyed-so, if If Li Zhen wanted to compensate these people for their losses, Li Zhen would at least have to escape with nearly a million dollars.
