"When did it start?"
"At the end of last month..."
"Why don't you work in your own county?"
"Your Excellency, we would like to have it in our own county, but we don't have that many workshops!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, and Liu Rengui felt a chill run down his spine.
That's so embarrassing!
Wannian County, which prides itself on its wealth and status, is actually working for Chang'an County!
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin gave Li Zhi a cold look, then left Guangfufang with his hands behind his back.
"I see that the other wards are also quite deserted. Have they all gone to work in Chang'an County?"
"this……"
"Your Majesty, I was unaware of this. I will immediately order someone to investigate!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin waved his hand and said.
"What's the point of investigating this? Let's just go to Chang'an County and take a look!"
Chang'an and Wannian are right next to each other, separated only by Zhuque Avenue. Moreover, the group was located in Guangfu Ward, which is adjacent to Zhuque Avenue.
Therefore, Li Shimin didn't even ride in a carriage, and instead strolled to Chang'an County with his two concubines.
As soon as Li Shimin arrived in Chang'an County, he immediately noticed the difference.
Compared to the desolation of Wannian County, Chang'an County was bustling with activity. Even if they were just standing outside the gate, they could hear the noise coming from inside.
"Selling sesame cakes!"
"Selling sesame cakes!"
"Freshly cooked egg drop soup, any boss want to try some!"
As soon as Li Shimin entered Anyefang, he was surrounded by a group of vendors who eagerly recommended various foods to him.
Even if Li Shimin were hungry, he would never eat at a roadside stall!
Therefore, with just a glance from him, several guards came up and drove the vendors away.
However, after walking only a few steps, they encountered someone blocking their way again.
Compared to the previous vendors, this old man was clearly a respectable person, and he was looking at the group with a big smile on his face.
"Are you gentlemen looking to buy some cloth?"
"Buying fabric?"
"Sir, you may not know this, but the linen in our Chang'an County is very cheap, and it's also sturdy and durable—it'll last a lifetime!"
Li Shimin immediately became interested upon hearing this, because in the Tang Dynasty, grain and cloth served the same purpose as silver and coins; they could be used directly as money.
This tiny neighborhood actually sells cloth?
"May I ask, old man, is there a lot of linen in your Chang'an County?"
"many!"
"We have so many clothes that we can't even wear them all, and we're having a headache about where to sell them!"
Why is that?
"It's not our county magistrate's fault... no, no, it's His Majesty's eldest grandson's fault!"
"It is said that he invented something that can spin yarn indefinitely, which has caused us a lot of trouble. We have to weave cloth for him day and night!"
