    "Don't worry, sir, I will send a group of craftsmen over soon."

    Li Shimin said directly.

    Aren¡¯t they just craftsmen? He has them, and there are many of them.

    Everyone in the yard was chatting, and several villagers came outside again, all of them women.

    "gentlemen."

    They walked into the yard with smiles on their faces: "Sir, do you still have the perfume you used before?"

    "Yes, do you want it?"

    "Yes, we have run out of our own. Can we buy some from you?"

    "Wait."

    Zhao Chen entered the house directly.

    And Li Shimin felt strange again: "Perfume, what is perfume?"

    The woman smiled and said: "Master, this is not for men, this is for women."

    When Queen Changsun heard this, she became interested: "Really?"

    "Yes, madam, the perfume invented by Mr. Zhao is really suitable for us women."

    Queen Changsun also became more and more curious.

    Not long after, Zhao Chen came out of the room, holding two porcelain bottles in his hand.

    "There are still some left. I will refine some more when I get back."

    "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

    The two women opened a porcelain vase, and suddenly, a scent wafted out of the porcelain vase.

    ¡°It smells so good!¡±

    Queen Changsun¡¯s eyes lit up.

    After the two women left, Queen Changsun said, "Mr. Zhao, what is that perfume? Can you show it to me?"

    Women in the Tang Dynasty did not have perfume, but they would use aromatherapy every time they washed their clothes, and they would also wear sachets with them. However, compared with these two things, they were not as strong-smelling as the perfume Zhao Chen invented just now.

    "Perfume is actually similar to incense."

    Zhao Chen took out the perfume again: "I don't have much of the perfume I made before. I will probably have to make some again in a few days."

    And Empress Changsun put the porcelain bottle in front of her nose and smelled it, and she was immediately intoxicated.

    It smells really good.

    "The method of use is very simple. This kind of perfume is meant to be sprayed on the body. But there is no nozzle yet, so just pour some directly into the palm of your hand and then spread it evenly on your face. That will work too."

    Queen Changsun did it and felt that her whole body was filled with fragrance. It was very light and elegant, but it was much more fragrant than the incense she used.

    "Lao Li, you see that your wife likes my perfume very much, shouldn't it be time for you to pay for it?"

    Li Shimin's heart twitched, but he smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, the money will definitely be indispensable."

    Queen Changsun said again: "Sir, how is this perfume made?"

    ¡°It¡¯s simple, just choose a flower, pluck the petals, boil them, filter and refine them, basically get the essence, and then blend it.¡±

    "Sir, are there any other perfumes? I want them all."

    "have."

    Zhao Chen took out the remaining perfume, and Empress Changsun took it all away.

    "Old Li, there are twenty bottles of perfume in total. I'll keep the account."

    What else could Li Shimin say?

    Queen Changsun was also extremely happy to get the perfume.

    As Li Shimin said, everything here at Zhao Chen is really a treasure!

    Really, it will pop up to surprise you from time to time.

    While they were talking, Fang Xuanling saw a guard standing not far away and quickly walked out of the yard.

    "Is something wrong?"

    "I'll report it to the prime minister, Chang'an will report."

    Is there any movement in Chang'an?

    Fang Xuanling took out the letter and read it at a glance. After reading it, he couldn't help but frown.

    There are quite a lot of things going on, and some big things have happened.

    "I know, you go down first."

    The guards resigned, and Fang Xuanling returned to the courtyard. While Zhao Chen was chatting with Queen Changsun, she walked over to Li Shimin.

    "Your Majesty, Chang'an intelligence."

    Li Shimin glanced at Zhao Chen in the distance: "Say."

    Fang Xuanling lowered her voice: "The first one is to discuss with the court officials whether the imperial examination should start this year; the second one is that Xue Yantuo's country invades the border."

    Li Shimin narrowed his eyes: "Xue Yantuo is so brave, now you can't sit still?"

    Xue Yantuo isA minority ethnic group in the northern part of the DPRK belonged to the East Turks before. Later, they cooperated with the Tang army to kill the East Turks. Without the East Turks in the grassland, Xue Yantuo naturally grew stronger.

    But Li Shimin had always been on guard against Xue Yantuo, adopting the method of using barbarians to control barbarians, and also supporting the Uighurs in Xue Yantuo's territory to compete with Xue Yantuo.

    In the third year of Zhenguan, Princess Xinxing married leader Xue Yantuo.

    Xue Yantuo's soldiers numbered 200,000, which should not be underestimated.

    Fang Xuanling said in a low voice: "I'm afraid there may be a conflict. The prince wants to know how to deal with it?"

    "There's no rush. Let's wait a few days and see. I want to see if Xue Yantuo dares to fight."

    Fang Xuanling said again: "The third thing is that the food donated by the family has been sent to the disaster-stricken areas, but judging from the estimates sent back by the local authorities, it is likely not enough."

    There¡¯s not enough food, so that¡¯s another headache.

    "What about the fourth item?"

    "The fourth thing," Fang Xuanling hesitated, "a strange thing happened to the disaster relief silver that had been transferred earlier. It was said that when they reached the river, a strong wind arose, and the carriage transporting the official silver fell into the river.  After salvage, it was found that the one hundred thousand taels of official silver were missing by a full 40,000 taels."

    Li Shimin frowned: "Where is the remaining official silver?"

    "It's missing. Dali Temple sent people to check, but they couldn't find it. The river is not deep and the flow speed is not fast. They sent people to salvage it, but they couldn't be fished out. This matter has now become a suspicious case in Dali Temple, and it has become a mystery.  It¡¯s official silver for disaster relief, so it¡¯s more important.¡±

    "You mean Guanyin hasn't left Chang'an yet?"

    "Yes."

    Li Shimin snorted, all kinds of things really came together.

    It¡¯s already April, and things are getting more and more serious. Even official banknotes have been stolen.

    Fang Xuanling said again: "There is another good news. General Li has prepared to return to the court. However, General Li received the prince's oral instructions and knew your location, so General Li asked whether he came to see you or went back directly.  Chang'an."

    "General Li, you are indeed the military god of the Tang Dynasty."

    Li Shimin was quite happy. Tuyuhun had been destroyed, and the new Tuyuhun king who had supported him bowed his head. Except for Tubo, there was no trouble in the west for the time being.

    But Li Shimin was also a little worried in his heart, because Li Jing had done so much and had no official title anymore.

    Except for Li Jing, there are three main things. One is the problem of insufficient food, and we need to continue to allocate food. The second is the problem of Xue Yantuo, and the third is the problem of the loss of official silver.

    Li Shimin frowned. The official silver was lost and he hadn¡¯t left the Chang¡¯an area yet. He said that it was hit by a strong wind and all the silver fell into the water. He couldn¡¯t find it again if he looked for it.

    How can this be?

    Li Shimin really couldn¡¯t figure it out, but when he saw Zhao Chen in front of him, his eyes lit up.

    Don¡¯t you have Mr. Zhao?

    Ask him!

    When in doubt, ask Zhao Chen!

    "Mr. Zhao."

    Zhao Chen raised his head: "Old Li, the smile on your face is really like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a rooster."

    Li Shimin was confused: "What do you mean?"

    ¡°I¡¯m not so well-meaning.¡±

    Li Shimin¡¯s mouth twitched: ¡°Sir, I have something to ask.¡±

    "Tell me, I know something is wrong with you. As soon as you came over, I knew something was wrong. It was written all over my face." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
