Liu Tan's heart tightened, thinking that Princess Dangli had changed her mind, so he asked carefully, "Sister, do you think something is inappropriate?"
Princess Dangli stood up and said, "For such a large-scale project, with so many people to hire, I have to inform my father. Wait while I go change my clothes."
Before Liu Tan could react, Princess Li had already left with her maid.
Liu Tan opened his mouth and wanted to say, "Why don't you send someone to Liu Che to make an appointment first?"
Yes, not everyone can see the emperor. Except for those who are summoned by the emperor and can go to Weiyang Palace immediately, the rest of the people have to report to the relevant departments, and then wait in line depending on the emperor's mood.
Not long after, Princess Dangli changed into an outfit for going out. The light yellow dress made her look a lot younger.
Liu Tan noticed that she had put on the bracelet. The red bracelet matched the outfit, which was both eye-catching and harmonious. He wondered if she had chosen the outfit specifically for the bracelet.
Princess Dangli called him and said, "Let's go."
Liu Tan followed her without saying a word. It didn't matter. Princess Dangli must have her reasons for doing so.
Because Liu Tan did not come by carriage, he rode a horse and followed Princess Dangli's carriage.
Princess Li looked at him through the car window and suddenly smiled, "No wonder so many young ladies gave you sachets and handkerchiefs when the army returned to the capital."
Liu Tan turned his head to look at Princess Dangli in the car with some doubts on his face.
Princess Dangli said nothing more, rolled down the car window and sighed.
She also began to understand why her father liked Liu Tan.
Gentle yet sharp, such a person will attract everyone's attention wherever he is.
Her prince brother is just too gentle and lacks that sharpness.
When Princess Li was thinking about these things, she had already arrived at the palace gate. Liu Tan watched her lead her men straight to Weiyang Palace without even saying hello.
Of course, given Liu Che's control over the palace, he might have already known about it when Princess Li arrived at the palace gate.
But even so, Liu Tan once again witnessed the majesty of Princess Dangli.
In comparison, he is not that arrogant, and you can't afford to offend him.
Liu Che was not at all dissatisfied with Princess Dangli's sudden attack. He just said with a hint of blame: "You still remember to come and see me!"
Princess Dangli felt a bit complicated. She didn't have any complaints about her father, but what could she do? She couldn't even speak out loud. She could only visit the palace less often and wait for time to calm down.
She bowed to Liu Che and said, "It's my daughter's fault."
Liu Che glanced at Liu Tan, who was pretending to be a quail, and couldn't help but stand up and walk over. He stretched out his hand to grab Liu Tan's neck and pulled him out and asked, "What have you done to bother Dangli again?"
Liu Tan's scalp suddenly went numb, and he fluttered his head: "No... no, I just need my sister's help with something!"
Liu Che was a little curious: "Oh? What do you want Dangli to help you with?"
As he spoke, he loosened his hand, returned to his throne, sat down, waved to his son and daughter, and said, "Don't stand there like an idiot."
When Princess Li sat down next to Liu Che with confidence, Liu Tan hesitated for a moment before reluctantly moving over. Originally, he wanted to sit one seat away, after all, the seat to Liu Che's right should belong to Liu Ju.
As a result, before he sat down, he saw Liu Che about to raise his hand. That gesture was very familiar to him - this was usually the starting gesture Liu Che made when he wanted to pinch his face.
Liu Tan was so scared that he quickly sat down next to him, and Liu Che couldn't help laughing.
In order to divert Liu Che's gaze from his face, Liu Tan quickly placed the document in front of Liu Che and said, "This is it."
Liu Che looked down. He was much more experienced than Princess Dangli, and he knew at a glance why these two people came.
Liu Che looked up at Liu Tan and said, "You have a big appetite."
Liu Tan observed carefully and found that Liu Che did not mean to blame him, so he said confidently: "Of course, as the son of the emperor, if I don't do it, I will do it to the extreme!"
Liu Che responded and said, "Okay."
Princess Dangli was dumbfounded: "Father, we haven't told you yet."
Liu Che glanced at her and said, "What's so difficult about this? You're just worried about gathering too many people. I'll write an order later."
Liu Tan immediately flattered him: "Father, the emperor is indeed very discerning."
Liu Che curled his lips and said nothing more, but felt slightly relieved.
He has always been worried about Princess Dangli.
He also wanted to find another husband for Princess Dangli. How could such a dignified princess be without a husband?
But when Princess Li became increasingly depressed, he could not bear to let his daughter get married under such circumstances.
Now Liu Tan has found the right person for this matter. He can find something for Dangli to do, help her get out of the shadow of the past, and then find a son-in-law for her.
Of course, even if this incident had not happened, Liu Che would have agreed very readily.
After all, Liu Tan was too well-behaved. After he came back, he stayed indoors and did not collude with other ministers. He went to great lengths to find a "safe person" like Princess Dangli to help him look after the situation.
The thing that people like Liu Che fear most is fighting for power. You can't fight with him, and you can't fight with the prince even more.
In the past, Liu Fuling was still young, and his actions could barely be described as vying for favor. However, as Liu Fuling grew up and Liu Tan entered the palace, the boundary between vying for power and vying for favor became increasingly clear. This was one of the reasons why Emperor Wu of Han was determined to give Liu Fuling a fiefdom.
If the son is disobedient, he must be made to suffer a little, although Qi is not considered to be suffering.
So if his son is obedient, he needs to be rewarded. Liu Tan just wants to make money.
However, Liu Che asked curiously, "From what I've seen of your plan, it doesn't look like you're only going to sell in Chang'an. I'm afraid you'll also supply other places. If Chang'an can make a profit, what about other places?"
Liu Tan tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, "That's for the later stages. By then, I won't care how it's sold elsewhere. I'll only sell it in the Northern Territory, and then have people come to my door to buy it and sell it."
Liu Che was a little surprised: "You mean to give the rest to the merchants? That's not appropriate."
Princess Dangli, who was standing by, also said, "You sell it at this price in Chang'an, but those merchants won't set it so conscientiously."
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment and said thoughtfully: "Indeed, if that doesn't work, then we can organize distributors."
Well, we can also make a distinction between wholesale and retail.
Princess Dangli asked curiously, "What is a distributor?"
Liu Tan racked his brains to explain, "They are middlemen, but they need to have a fixed place of business, and I have the power to set prices. If they break the rules, their rights to buy and sell will be revoked."
This was probably the first time Princess Dangli had heard of such a method. Business in those days was not actually prosperous and was still in a state of enlightenment.
Liu Che just wanted to remind his son and had no intention of interfering with his son's thoughts.
So he looked at Liu Tan with a half-smile and asked, "I heard you've been playing in the mud at home these days?"
Liu Tan: ????
I didn't! I'm not! Who said that?
