Last night, Li Tong missed the time to attend court the next day, and his mind was still a little hangover-like. Thinking about it, since he missed the Sun, he simply took the day off. After all, there was no important matter waiting to be handled in Lintai, but the family affairs of the royal family need to be carefully sorted out.

In the morning, the Jiegu was sweating all over. After washing up, he recovered a little. Li Tong first went to the Yong Palace to pay his respects to his mother Fang, but unexpectedly learned that his second brother Li Shouli had already gone out to work early.

"This morning, my second brother was still complaining that his colleagues were far less tactful than those of my brother's subordinates, and said that they would attract some truly accessible friends to visit our home."

When Li Tong heard the words of his younger sister Li Youniang, he couldn't help but smile. He was happy to see that his brothers had their own social circles, but it was a bit difficult for Li Shouli to compete with him.

Although the Eastern Palace has its own staff and has its own team, it does not even have a master, so it is naturally more distant than Lintai. As for the prince who was appointed as the prince, although he is not in charge of the stables, it is actually not very important. The Sijing Bureau in charge is a clean yamen that is even clearer than Lintai.

The collection of the National Dynasty was filled with Hongwenguan and Chongwenguan in the East Palace. Two academic museums were established one after another, both of which replaced the functions of Lintai and the Eastern Palace's Jingju Bureau to a certain extent.

However, although there are not so many foreign officials in the East Palace to communicate with, there are many noble children in the school or in the guide palace, and Li Shouli does not have to worry about not having friends.

Li Tong rushed to the palace. Yesterday's banquet had already been cleaned up, and there was still incense inside and outside to clear away the odor of the hall.

Li Tong discovered very early that the consumption of spices during this period was really huge. Various types of spices were used differently and had a wide variety of types, including daily diet and daily life.

The Tang people had a heavy taste, especially fishy smell, and the spice seasoning was very expensive. The diet structure was like this, and they removed filth and aroma in daily life, repelled mosquitoes, and consumed a lot of daily consumption.

Li Tong didn't have much spare energy before, so he couldn't sleep in the residence last night. After a little checking the account, he found that the spices consumed in the three kings' mansion alone amounted to tens of thousands of dollars per month.

Although there are various materials provided by Sifu Temple and other departments every month, some more luxurious consumables such as Yuanfan spices are not large, and they need to purchase them independently.

Whether it is a luxury or a consumable, just Li Tong’s own observations are really indispensable. The key is that this game has a social attribute.

Li Tong is not very keen on making himself smell fragrant, but he is not willing to have a dirty and weird smell. He has to wash his hair with such a long time, and in the hot summer, he needs to prevent mosquitoes and sweat, change clothes, and sleep in his sleep. He was not careful before, but when he started to pay attention, he got used to it.

If you don’t pay attention to personal hygiene, you are indeed prone to setbacks in social interaction. Last night, several officials from Beijing came forward to commend, but before they got close, a strange smell came over me, making people almost sick.

Previously, seeing Song Zhiwen being rejected for the servant because of bad breath, Li Tong even regarded him as a joke. However, when he really came to this world and became familiar with daily life, he felt that this was really a big problem.

Li Tong felt that the main reason was because the Tang people's diet was more fishy and mutton tasted quite fragrant, but if they were not careful about personal hygiene for a long time, the taste was really touching.

As for the price of spices, there is also a huge difference. For example, ordinary lemongrass, cinnamon, etc., it costs a few to dozens of dollars. But like some rare imported products, it is not a matter of price, and you can't buy it even if you have money.

During the banquet last night, Li Tong heard someone bragging about gossip and heard an interesting story. The officials reached a certain level, and the court also provided rewards such as facial fat and bath beans. These things are naturally exquisitely made of materials, and some people bought them at high prices in the market. At the level of his first-class prince, a bath bean even reached hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

When I couldn't sleep last night, Li Tong was still considering whether to do side jobs, perfume, soap, etc., but he didn't expect this thing to become rich. It would be nice to use it as a gift for his own consumption.

Although he was just a waste of science and engineering, these things did not seem to require much sophisticated technology. After thinking about it, he ordered his nurse Zheng Jin to give a brief explanation and asked Zheng Jin to gather the idle servants in the residence to make trouble.

There were a lot of messy thoughts in my mind. After coming to the palace, the officials rushed forward and gave him a big surprise: "Last night, the official from the inner court entered the palace to give me a reward. I dare not disturb the king late at night. I will record it here. Please check it out."

When Li Tong heard this, he was really overjoyed. After taking the orders handed over by the official, he smiled. Unlike him who was so distressed that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night after a meal, his grandmother was much more generous. He had to pay hundreds of thousands of yuan in money and silk and other vulgar things, and there were also various rare goods, which were even more incalculable.

Of course, in addition to wealth and other things, what made Li Tong even happier was his grandmother's attitude. Li Tong was also a little nervous in his heart, worried that he would touch his grandmother's sensitive nerves.

Now it seems that his worries are a bit redundant, or in other words, he still underestimated the great help he gave to his grandmother.

If you believe in something like auspiciousness, you will have it, and if you don’t believe in it, you will not. The treasure rain scripture presented by Li Tong is made by himself. Of course, anyone can do this kind of thing, but if you have different identities, the effect will naturally be different.

Historically, Wu Zetian first compiled the "Dayun Sutra" and then edited the Baoyu Sutra to directly modify the scriptures. There were such steps, one was that the Dayun Sutra was laid out in the first place, and the other was that the Baoyu Sutra, the translator of the Baoyu Sutra, was an Indian monk, and had a certain authority.

As for Li Tong's offering of scriptures, of course, it was not his understanding of Buddhist scriptures, but his identity at this time. He was the emperor and the grandson of the God Emperor, and he clearly supported his grandmother with the "Buddha's Talk of the Treasure Rain Sutra".

In this industry, he has no competitors, including his third and fourth uncles. It would be better if he was defeated by the power struggle. If he really dared to make such a bottomless statement, he would really make jokes about his political future and life.

As for Li Tong, his blood relationship is close and outside the imperial throne, as long as his uncles are not dead yet, he is not the first sequence of the country's successors.

In fact, putting aside the royal identity, Li Tong's situation is similar to the Han Sang Shi selected by his grandmother. According to the normal political ecology, their political future is not very good. The opportunity for them to overtake on the curve is to achieve extraordinary achievements and achieve extraordinary things.

He had just held a banquet here, and his grandmother's reimbursement was delivered to the mansion, which made Li Tong read out a little about his grandmother's intentions. Not only did he not reject it, but he supported him inviting the Shilin people to look forward to it.

Li Tong was originally in a state of turmoil. Now that he had his grandmother's attitude, what else could he be afraid of? Roll up his sleeves and work hard to try to send his grandmother to the supreme position as soon as possible.

At this time, there were still many guests in the palace who had been hungover last night and stayed overnight without leaving. They had a lot of pockets. Li Tong was also very proud and waved his hand and ordered to continue the banquet today.

Many guests had not had time to digest the full meal yesterday, and they were naturally excited when they heard another banquet. Not to mention anything else, the meal supply of the royal palace is really first-class, and the singing and dancing are also great, which makes people really enjoy it.

Li Tong also understood that his current appeal was still weak. Li Jiao was staying introspective today and left before dawn. After thinking about it, he dictated the dictator in the palace and asked the officials to write a letter to invite Chen Quanqi, Qiao Zhizhi and others to visit the palace.

At present, Li Tong relied most on Liu Youqiu. After all, Liu Youqiu is already familiar with each other and has a lot of bad water in his stomach, so he sent Liu Youqiu to cooperate with Tian Dasheng and others to go to his fiefdom in Puzhou, Hedong to collect state rent.

In addition to Liu Youqiu, Zhang Jiazhen, Zhong Shaojing and other officials, and Li Tong all plan to seek an advanced level for them before the end of this year.

To be honest, a young man like Zhang Jiazhen is not very useful. In addition to his experience, he can also show that the royal mansion is a way to advance. At that time, there will naturally be more talents coming to the mansion for him to ask for a choice.

As for the military positions like Wang Renjiao and Huan Yanfan, Li Tong has no idea yet, and before his grandmother makes further statements, he dare not touch the imperial guard system, and let Guo Da and Guo Silang continue to lurk in the mission.

"There has been so busy in the past few days, and it is inevitable that the work will be difficult. Fortunately, there are so many talents in the exchanges, so I can ask for advice. You all have many good helpers. Although the top and bottom are harmonious, I don't want to trap you for a long time. In the next year, there will be many grand events in the election of talent. I hope you can show it."

After giving some trivial matters, Li Tong said to Zhang Jiazhen and others: "Of course, the talent gathers together and it is difficult to tell whether you can stand out. In addition to doing your best, you will inevitably have to rely on some luck. The seats in the palace are waiting for a long time, and since you are worry-free, you will be able to move forward with a clear sky. Let go of your mind and do your best."

When they heard the young king encouraged him, the few people were very grateful and thanked him. To be honest, they were deeply grateful to meet the kind-hearted master of the Hedong King, but as the young king said, the prince's mansion was just a shallow pool after all. If they wanted to show their ambitions, they still needed to go out.

Of course, even if they go out, their connections will not be cut off. Not to mention the old relationship, just many irrelevant Shiliu who have seen at the moment have come to ask. In the future, they will only have closer connections with the young king.

Until now, Li Tong really feels like being a lord of the sect king. People can look up to their future. The iron-clad royal palace, the flowing officials, and when his disciples and old officials are spread all over the court, whoever wants to move him must think carefully.
