Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 27 I’m so angry with you!

Lin Heng just thought about sitting down and inviting them to drink tea, but unexpectedly he saw that Li Shimin had already prepared.

He couldn't help but murmur in his heart, he didn't regard himself as an outsider anymore!
Li Shimin pointed at the tea tray curiously and said, "What is this? It looks a little strange. What is it used for?"

Lin Heng explained: "This is a wood-carved tea tray that I found a few days ago. Pour the cold tea directly into it, so you don't have to worry about staining the table."

After listening to what Lin Heng said, Li Shimin felt that this item was quite practical and said, "This item is very good. Do you have others at home? Take one with you when you go down."

Lin Heng: "."

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly from the side: "It's just a small object. If Brother Li likes it, I will have someone find the best wood to help you carve it better."

Li Shimin thought, can you do the same thing as my son-in-law?

Seeing Li Shimin's eager eyes, Lin Heng also said helplessly: "The materials used for this object are very particular, and the carving will take a while. It's better to wait for a while before I finish it and send it to you."

Li Shimin was overjoyed: "That's great!"

Changsun Wuji snorted again from the side.

Lin Heng didn't know why this guy was dissatisfied with him. After thinking about it, he felt that he hadn't offended anyone recently. He just made things difficult for Chang Sun Chong.

But Changsun Chong's father was Changsun Wuji. The middle-aged man in front of him seemed to be incompatible with someone like Changsun Wuji, so he ignored him.

The eldest grandson Wugou chuckled at the side and said: "My young man has wild ideas and can always make something practical. I heard my husband say it before, but when I saw it today, I was really amazed!"

Because of the perfume, Changsun Wugao admired Lin Heng even more, especially his two-line poem about peony, which really made Changsun Wugao very fond of him.

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly: "It's just a small door and a small road. It's not surprising. You actually read a book?"

He saw the books on the bookshelf nearby. Although they were a drop in the bucket compared to what he had at home, he couldn't help but look at them.

"You actually delve into the study of kingly knowledge?"

Lin Heng said with a smile: "I will read it when I have nothing to do. It is just to kill time. It is not considered proficient."

"It's the same when I think about it!"

Changsun Wuji was a little disdainful, and then picked up the tea bowl and took another sip. Although he didn't like anything else, this tea was indeed good, but it was actually made by Lin Heng. It was really a waste.

Whenever Changsun Wuji returns home in the evenings these days, he will hear a man in the yard who is about to go crazy yelling, saying why these two lines of poetry are so difficult. When he asked, he found out that it was written by Lin Heng. When he got out of the underground palace, he kept saying that he didn't know how to go down to the palace and asked Changsun Chong to clarify his doubts. In fact, he was making things difficult for him.

Changsun Wuji didn't care about those two lines of poetry, but he always felt annoyed when Changsun Chong said that his ears were calloused.

Just two lines of poetry.

But when I wanted to start, I found that this poem was so tricky that it was difficult to answer based on the body alone.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji became even more resentful towards Lin Heng. He couldn't sleep well in the past two days!
Cheng Yaojin on the side took two sips of tea, pouting with disgust on his face: "Why would a man drink this? Lin Heng, do you have any wine?"

Li Shimin glared at Cheng Yaojin, who immediately said: "Forget it, I have stopped drinking recently, so it would be better to drink tea."

Immediately, Li Shimin asked Lin Heng about the recent soap box perfume business.

Lin Heng chuckled, knowing what they wanted to do.

He then shook his head: "I'm sorry, Brother Li, no matter who comes, I won't give up this business."

Hearing this, Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Then you are not afraid of those wealthy families?"

Lin Heng smiled and shook his head: "I plan to give half of the proceeds from this secret fragrance to His Majesty as a betrothal gift. After all, the war between the two countries has just ended, and the world is full of waste, and Your Majesty is short of money!"

The eldest grandson Wugou on the side couldn't help but laugh, and Li Shimin looked a little ugly.

As the emperor, he is rich in the world. Although the court is indeed short of money, if he says it in front of himself, he will definitely not be in a good mood.

Changsun Wuji on the side was a little unconvinced, thinking that Lin Heng was making a fuss: "No matter how popular your store is in Chang'an, it's just a small business. Even if you take out all the profits, how much money will you have?" Lin Heng explained. He said: "Although there is only one small store now, it is also due to insufficient funds. There will definitely be many branches in the Jiangnan area in the future."

"Besides, although there is only one store, the perfume and soap business is very popular in Chang'an, and the profits are also huge."

He then looked at several people and asked, "Do you know who makes the most money?"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "The clan is rich and powerful, so their money is naturally the best to make."

The eldest grandson Wugou asked doubtfully: "The clan members can only enter and not get out, how can there be any reason for others to make money from them?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Those are the common people!"

Hearing this, Lin Heng almost laughed out loud: "How much money ordinary people can have is just to make money to keep their families fed and clothed. Besides, earning their hard-earned money will be like lightning."

Changsun Wugou looked even more appreciative and asked, "What kind of person do you think makes the best money?"

"Women, and children!"

Several people looked at each other, and Lin Heng immediately explained: "What I do is just to open up Chang'an's market in this area, especially those women from wealthy families. They are not short of money, but they have a soft spot for these novel objects. Even if they are Even if you buy it at a premium of more than ten times, you won’t blink an eye!”

Fang Xuanling on the side was also confused and said: "That kid, I understand!"

Like those descendants of aristocratic families, they have clothes to put on, food to eat, and mouth to open. If they like something or are interested in something, their parents can help them, even the stars in the sky!

Everyone understood immediately, and Li Shimin also thought it made sense. This was the case for several of his daughters!

Lin Heng continued: "What kind of business do you think is the most profitable?"

Changsun Wuji thought for a moment this time and then gave the answer: "It's nothing more than salt, iron and grain."

Lin Heng said immediately: "Yes, but it's not right either."

Changsun Wuji's expression immediately darkened.

"The salt and iron business is all controlled by the government, and civilians are not allowed to interfere. The pricing of salt and iron is also regulated by the government."

"Because as long as you control the source of all goods, you can set the price yourself, and people all over the world can only buy from you. This is the most profitable, and it is also called a monopoly!"

It was also the first time for several people to hear the word monopoly. In addition to the novelty, they felt that what Lin Heng said did make sense.

However, Changsun Wuji was criticized again, and there was no smile on his face.

"Although Chang'an is very big, I'm not just looking at Chang'an, but the merchants from the Western Regions."

"There is no shortage of gold and silver jewelry in the Western Regions, but they have never seen our tea, cloth, handicrafts, etc. from the Central Plains. These people will take these things back to exchange for more gold, silver and jewelry, and these people are A real money-spinner!”

"By then, the number of transactions per transaction will not be less than Wan Guan, and even so, there will be many people who will buy it even if they are overwhelmed!"

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and said, "You want to do business in the Western Regions? And a single transaction is no less than ten thousand yuan. Isn't that too arrogant!"

Li Shimin and the others also didn't believe it. That was Wan Guan's business. Such a big business could only be done by wealthy clans.

Changsun Wuji's words made Lin Heng very unhappy. He didn't tolerate this nonsense, so he immediately took out a booklet and put it in front of everyone.

Lin Heng smiled and looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Since you don't believe it, this is Anxiang's account book in recent days. Brother Changsun will know it at a glance."

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly, then opened the account book and took a glance.

Just this glance immediately made his eyes widen.

The Persians and Tubo people who came yesterday alone bought no less than [-] guan. The most generous Persian directly ordered [-] guan for the perfume. Moreover, it was only these people from the Western Regions, not including those in the shop. Business!
Changsun Wuji's hands started to shake. He naturally knew the meaning of these numbers, but how could Lin Hengyi, the farmhouse man, do this?
Seeing this, Lin Heng looked at Changsun Wuji, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Brother Changsun, do you believe it now?"
