Chapter 93 (2/2)
The gate leads directly to the highest building in the middle, and there is a specially built road for the carriage to walk on. It is paved with neat and clean bluestone slabs, and the carriage is stable and light on it.
The white building in the middle of the manor is bigger and more magnificent than the surrounding houses. It looks as if it is five stories high. Standing on the highest floor, you can overlook the whole Taiyi city.
The carriage stopped slowly at the door. The maid had been waiting at the door for a long time. She helped Li Hong get out of the car and bowed to Li Hong.Li Hong stood at the door and waved his hand at will and said, ”no, we are not familiar with each other. We'd better relax. Don't be too nervous. Learn more from your Miss Bai.”
The maiden then stood on both sides, and Li Hong walked forward. He looked at the building built in his own style and exclaimed, ”tut Who came up with this idea? He must be a genius. Such a good house can draw drawings. ”
Bai Chun naturally disdains to listen to it. Although this building is practical and convenient, it cost the most money to build it at the beginning, and all the furnishings inside are built according to his requirements. The luxury and luxury of this building are outrageous!
The design of the fifth floor is even more simple Bai Chun doesn't know how to describe it. In short, this is the best house she has ever seen in her life. All the furnishings, furniture and so on are extremely precious raw materials!
But what can make her balance is that the fifth floor is not for him, but for the emperor and empress. Li Hong can only live on the fourth floor at most.
As for the second floor, the third floor is reserved for the emperor and Queen's eunuchs. On the first floor, there is a small conference room and a banquet hall, including a living room.
After several people sat down in the living room, Li Hong patted the soft sofa made of cotton and sighed: ”I will not go to the restricted area today, but I will talk about it tomorrow. After a day's carriage, I am almost exhausted.”
Bai Chun nods, Hua Meng and others are busy helping Li Hong decorate, sleeping room in the evening and other appliances, leaving Bai Chun alone.
”By the way, talk about it. How are the merchants in Taiyi city these days? How many stewards have come? ”
”Yes, sir.” Bai Chun stood in front of Li Hong respectfully and said solemnly, ”there are hundreds or even thousands of merchants from the north and the south. They arrived a few days ago.”
”Businessmen can't get up early without profit. They play a decisive role in the business of the Tang Dynasty, and they are also the economic pillar of the Tang Dynasty. This time, they are paid so much attention to, obviously, for the share and formula, as well as the license of the Ministry of housing. Any more? ”
”Yes. Envoys from Tubo, Dashi, Tuyuhun, tiele, Persia and other countries in the western regions have all arrived in Taiyi city one after another. Even Baiji, Gaoli, Silla and especially the Japanese state have already settled in Taiyi city ahead of schedule. ” Bai Chun thought about it and went on.
”What are they doing here? Do you want to have a share? Dream Li Hong looked at Bai Chun and said scornfully.
Bai Chun also looked at him, and then solemnly said, ”my Lord, some of these people come alone, some of them are in secret alliance with the royal clan, or the officials of the imperial court...”
”Royal clan?”
”Yes, sir. In recent days, various kinds of intelligence analysis showed that envoys of various countries had close contact with them. After following them, they found that some of them had secretly formed an alliance with each other in order to obtain huge profits from Taiyi city. ”
Seeing that Li Hong was silent, Bai Chun continued: ”besides, when you just arrived at the gate of Taiyi city copper coins, my maid received the new information from Jingwei. King Ji, King Zhao, King Cao, and Wang Han and Wang Huo have all set out to go here today.”
”What do you mean? It's normal. Don't be nervous. ” Li Hong looked at Bai Chun with a frown and comforted, ”you can't expect that all the people in the prince's house are loyal to me, Li Hong. There are always people with ulterior motives watching my every move. As soon as I arrived today, they started to set out. Naturally, someone told them my schedule in time.”
”Sir, do you want Jingwei to investigate the house thoroughly?” Bai Chun always feels that this is not safe. If something goes wrong, it is very difficult for us to clarify, or investigate which party did it.
”What to check? Some rotten shrimps and fish can't turn the big waves. These are not the key points. What you should pay attention to is how many people like Suo Yuanli are following in these clans. Uncle Wang will certainly not come out in person. When you have finished talking, I will have to bargain with them. Therefore, you need to decide for yourself who those people are and how to allocate the quota instead of letting them take advantage of us. ”
”Yes, sir. The five surnamed Qiwang and other aristocratic families, including princesses like today's Qianjin princess, have also sent many visitors. Some of them have arrived, some are already on the way. ”
”Hehe, what are you going to do? I moved Li Hong, and all the money strings in the Tang Dynasty followed me! It seems that Taiyi city is a real opportunity. ”
