"Empress mother, Changle" Li Chengqian couldn't help showing a knowing smile when he saw two close relatives. Compared with the early death of the eldest grandson queen in previous lives, Li Chengqian has become perverse. Compared with Li Chengqian at the moment, he is more mature and stable.
However, when he saw Merton, he turned a blind eye, as if he had not seen Merton at all.
"Prince, your highness!" Princess Changle secretly pulled Merton's hem, and Merton said hello reluctantly.
"It's mohou!" Li Chengqian looked at Merton and snorted coldly.
"Brother Prince!"
Seeing that they were going to fight again, Princess Changle quickly said, "just now the prince's brother didn't come, and her mother just allowed Kyoto express to deliver packages to the imperial city. The imperial concubines in the harem were very happy."
"Empress mother is kind!" Li Chengqian complimented. The outside world would take risks in delivering goods to the rear palace, but the eldest grandson still agreed. Although this policy was set up by the imperial concubines of the rear palace, the East Palace also benefited a lot. The situation of the crown prince's imperial concubines is almost the same as that of the imperial concubines of the rear palace.
"Merton did a good job this time! The palace heard that people all over the world praised Kyoto express!" the eldest Sun Queen looked at Merton and said kindly.
There are both positive and negative comments on Kyoto express. Chaotang believes that the goods purchased by Ink magazine are of poor quality and fake goods are in flood. However, among ordinary people, ink magazine shopping is applauded. After all, the goods in Ink magazine are what they urgently need and can afford.
"The empress flattered and benefited the people all over the world. This is what Mohist should do. In fact, Kyoto express, like Mohist magazine, is also divided into civil version and commercial version!" Morton said modestly.
"Oh! Is there such a difference?" the empress changsun said curiously.
Merton explained: "the so-called commercial version is what we call Ink magazine shopping. Kyoto express can deliver goods for people and merchants, while the civil version is sent for ordinary people."
Empress Chang sun was surprised and said, "ordinary people can also send parcels!"
Merton nodded: "However, if a mother's home is in Chengdu and her son is studying in Chang'an, every autumn, when the hall is on clothing leave, the students go all the way back to their hometown and get the winter clothes. Then they return to Chang'an to study. It takes more than half a month. Now with Kyoto express, the mother just needs to make the winter clothes, write down the address of her son's school and spend money Ten Wen, you can send the winter clothes to the students safely. "
"This is indeed a move to benefit the people!" the empress nodded. In this way, it can save time and travel expenses, save money and allow students to spare more time to study.
"If there are relatives and friends in other places, you can use Kyoto express to send gifts during the Spring Festival. For example, this year is approaching, Kyoto Express has opened the Luoyang line. Over time, Kyoto express covers the whole Datang, even if it is thousands of miles away, Kyoto express will have a mission." Merton Lang said.
"Kyoto express goes thousands of miles to send a little gift for others. It's too laborious!" Li Chengqian shook his head and said disapprovingly.
"The so-called gift of goose feather from a thousand miles is light, and the affection is heavy! The gift is light, but the friendship it represents is heavy." Merton said positively.
"It's light to send goose feathers for thousands of miles. It's heavy to love! What's the allusion?" empress Chang sun asked with a puzzled eyebrow.
Merton was stunned. He remembered that there was no allusion to sending goose feathers thousands of miles in this era, so he had to move out Mozi's secret book again.
"There is another story in Mozi's secret book. When Mozi was famous all over the world, a friend came all the way from the state of Chu to visit him. When he left, he brought a gift of his hometown goose. As a result, when he was halfway there, he rested by a lake. As a result, accidentally, the goose as a gift broke free and jumped into the lake. Mozi's friend only had time to catch a few goose feathers.
In desperation, Mozi's friend had to put away the goose feather and continue on his way. After seeing Mozi, his friend handed the goose feather as a gift with a ashamed face.
Mozi didn't dislike it at all, but was very moved and said, "if you send goose feather thousands of miles, the gift is light and the affection is heavy!" Mozi was not angry because of the light gift, but paid more attention to the friendship with friends! "
"Mozi's secret is indeed worthy of its reputation. Empress sun, a high-ranking official, lamented that she also had many girlfriends. Unfortunately, she has rarely contacted since she married Li Shimin, especially since she became the queen.
"That's because Mozi's friends went in person. Mozi paid more attention to his friends' intimacy than the weight of gifts. Marquis Mozi understood that Mozi's intimacy was misinterpretation." Li Chengqian sarcastically said that with his knowledge, he could naturally understand the connotation of sending goose feathers thousands of miles, with light ceremony and heavy affection. However, Mozi attached it far fetched to the Kyoto express. Just as he twisted the iron pestle into a needle in the court, he was not moved by the spirit of grinding the iron pestle into a needle. Instead, he thought that the embroidery needle at that time was too expensive. It was violent for such a classic Mozi to get into the hands of Mozi A natural thing.
Merton arch: "Your Highness, it's true that the original intention of sending goose feather thousands of miles away is true. However, in reality, once friends go abroad, it's very difficult to see each other again. How many people will come thousands of miles away just to meet their friends. I'm afraid most of them will say goodbye forever. This friendship has gradually dissipated. With Kyoto express, friends will reciprocate. I believe in the past Our friendship will certainly reappear again. "
"When the Kyoto courier delivers the package, is it still wrapped in a letter? Since the gifts have been sent, it's natural to write a letter to contact." Li Chengqian said strangely.
Princess Changle's heart clicked. She thought that the prince's brother must blame Merton's Kyoto express for robbing the post delivery business. At present, she hurriedly said, "no..."
Merton stopped Princess Changle and explained: "Kyoto express treats all letters and parcels equally. As long as they are not prohibited by chaotang, Kyoto express delivers them. Such a thing that benefits the people is personally delivered by Mo to his Highness the prince, and how does the prince do it. Now Kyoto express just covers the pass. If it is a post station, I'm afraid people all over the world can enjoy this benefit."
"The post station is the official weapon of the court. It's taboo to use the official weapon for private use. The palace did nothing wrong at that time!" Li Chengqian argued.
Seeing that the two quarreled again, Princess Changle, who was originally going to resolve the contradiction between the two, hurriedly turned around and asked the empress changsun for help: "empress mother, look at them..."
Empress changsun seemed to have no accident. She ignored the quarrel between the two people. Looking at the anxious Princess Changle, she smiled bitterly and said, "you silly child, don't you understand now?"
"Ah!" Princess Changle's calm empress changsun looked at the two people with red faces and thick necks, but they looked happy and comfortable. They looked like two people who turned their faces. Moreover, with her understanding of them, she had never seen them lose their demeanor and quarrel like this.
"Although mail order is suspected of public and private use, it is beneficial to the country and the people to send parcels for the people all over the world. We should try our best to do it." finally, empress Chang sun made a decision and ended the quarrel.
Li Chengqian had no choice but to say, "I will obey my mother's orders."
Morton showed a proud look and said, "sending mail is the idea of Weichen. His Highness the prince once said that the post station can also do things beneficial to the world. Please don't forget your promise."
"Hum! I don't need you to remind me!" Li Chengqian snorted stiffly and left.
When Princess Changle saw this situation, she didn't know whether she should be happy or hate it. She was glad that her husband and brother had never fallen out. She hated that they had lied to her, which made her worried for many days.
