The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Chapter 186 The Design of Tang Dynasty Paper Money!

The group didn't stay long before getting into the Mini and preparing to leave.

Cheng Yaojin stared blankly at Mini, realizing that Xiao Ran actually lived in the palace!

Thinking hard!
He was so close to Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang, and they even lived in the palace.

"Interesting. Very interesting!" Cheng Yaojin smiled.

"Grandpa, this young man doesn't seem to be from the Central Plains," Cheng Chumo muttered to Cheng Yaojin.

“His hair and clothing were different from ours, and he never bowed to His Majesty or the princesses.”

"These things are not important. Come to the supermarket more often and try to spend more time with Xiao Ran. It won't hurt."

"Okay, I'll remember." Cheng Chumo was very happy to come to the supermarket.

You won't work for nothing here; Xiao Ran has people prepare things for you, and you'll receive a gift for helping out.

These things are not cheap these days.

Cheng Yaojin's family wasn't short of money; rather, these things were rare and precious, and even with money, they were hard to buy.

Now, if you want to eat something from the supermarket, you either have to have someone from your household line up, or you have to buy it from a scalper at a high price.

Even people like Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling wouldn't get much from the supermarket.

Even if you have the money, it's hard to buy.

It's so popular!

Mini passed by the city gate again and, knowing that Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were there, the imperial guards quickly saluted.

Xiao Ran didn't drive, knowing that Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang preferred to drive, so he simply held the little princess in the passenger seat.

Back at the Lizheng Hall, Princess Yuzhang said, "Father, why don't you try it? It's like a go-kart."

Li Shimin nodded, "Alright, alright, I'll give it a try."

Princess Yuzhang opened the passenger door. "Brother, sit here."

I wasn't entirely at ease. I felt it would be better to keep an eye on Xiao Ran in the passenger seat, just in case something unexpected happened.

Xiao Ran was reluctant, but it seemed there was no one more suitable than herself.

"Okay!" Xiao Ran put the little princess down. "Sizi, your brother will take you back in a bit."

It's better not to bring a driver when practicing driving.

"Hmmmm~"

Li Lizhi stood next to the driver's seat and talked to Li Shimin about adjusting the position and fastening the seat belt.

Li Shimin was a very tall and strong man, so the mini was far too small for him.

"Alright, that feels about right." Li Shimin looked at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran saw in Li Shimin's expression the way the driving school students looked at their instructors.

"Your Majesty, try starting it. Don't step on the gas yet, just drive at a moderate speed and get used to it gradually."

"Okay!" Li Shimin, the novice driver, was no exception, holding the steering wheel with both hands.

They held on very tightly.

Li Shimin's biggest worry was that Princess Yuzhang's carriage might be damaged.

I know this car isn't expensive, but it's different from other cars!

“It’s really not difficult!” Li Shimin switched from using both hands to using only one hand.

"Automatic transmissions are indeed not difficult to drive, and they are very easy to drive. The more difficult part is parking, but you don't need to worry about these issues with the Datang."

It's impossible that Li Shimin and his princesses couldn't find a parking space.

Li Shimin drove faster and faster, then stopped after circling twice. "Alright, that's about enough!"

"Nephew, don't forget to buy me a carriage; this one is a bit small." Li Shimin gestured to Zhang Anan to prepare the money.

Soon Zhang Anan returned and handed Xiao Ran a box.

There's gold inside.

"Your Majesty, this is far too much." Xiao Ran opened it and took a look.

"Not only for mine, but also for the beautiful Sixth Lady, you didn't get paid either. These are for several cartloads."

"Brother, please accept this. Let's go back! I need to go to the hospital," Princess Yuzhang said with a smile.

Xiao Ran didn't stand on ceremony; the imperial family wasn't short of money.

"it is good!"

Princess Yuzhang hadn't visited Liu Yuqing these past few days, and Liu Yuqing assumed that Princess Yuzhang had run away from exhaustion.

Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi took Yu Shu and Xiangcao to the villa.

The two sisters did not take the key with them, leaving it with Empress Zhangsun for safekeeping. This way, Li Shimin could try to open it whenever he wanted.

"Empress, let me show you how it feels." With nothing else to do, Li Shimin wanted to try it out again.

"Okay!" Empress Zhangsun opened the passenger seat herself, sat down, and fastened her seatbelt.

"I need to find an opportunity to talk to Grandpa about my nephew. He needs to go for a check-up, and Grandpa's health isn't looking good either."

Empress Zhangsun nodded. "Although he didn't say it before, the Emperor Emeritus was aware of it."

Although Li Yuan was old, he was not senile.

"That's true. Let's find an opportunity to have Lizhi speak to her!" Empress Zhangsun suggested.

"Li Zhi is indeed a good person to talk about."

The two of them went for a drive and chatted casually.

Back at the villa, Princess Yuzhang changed her clothes. "Brother, I have to go to the hospital."

"Sixth Sister, I'll take you there!" Xiao Ran stood up.

“Brother, no need. I’ll take a taxi. I saw other people taking taxis before, the Didi.” Princess Yuzhang shook her phone.

"Hmm, you learn really fast, go ahead!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Ran, Li Lizhi, and the others escorted Princess Yuzhang out of the villa courtyard.

"Chang Le, let's go to the supermarket!" Xiao Ran can't stay at the villa forever.

"it is good!"

"And there's a nest!" the little princess tugged at Xiao Ran. "Let's play on the rocking horse!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Ran's phone suddenly vibrated. He opened it and saw an email.

Xiao Ran quickly opened the package, and the banknote design he had commissioned was sent over.

It was about the same size as the current RMB, and the largest denomination was not red, but golden yellow.

Golden yellow is quite special; it's considered a color of wealth and nobility.

The words 'Datang Qianzhuang' are written at the top.

The style is modeled after modern banknotes, with portraits of Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun on the front.

The background image is of the Taiji Palace.

I don't think photos look good enough; it's more interesting to draw the feeling of money.

The back features a simplified map of Zhuque Avenue, brimming with elements of the Tang Dynasty.

"Changle, what do you think of this banknote?"

Li Lizhi took the phone. "This feeling is just like the one here with my young master."

"Yes, that's what we referenced here."

Li Lizhi flipped through them and found her own and Princess Yuzhang's, Li Chengqian's, and the two little princesses'.

The two little princesses have small denominations, but they are frequently used.

Such large denomination banknotes as those of Empress Zhangsun, wife of Emperor Taizong of Tang (Li Shimin), are basically not in circulation.

Li Chengqian received 1,000 strings of cash, while Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang received 500 strings.

One hundred strings of cash, fifty strings of cash, twenty strings of cash, ten strings of cash, five strings of cash, and one string of cash all belong to the two little princesses.

The only difference is the picture.

"They all belong to Sizi's second sister."

The little princess tugged at Li Lizhi's sleeve, "What's that, sister?"

"Let me see!" the little princess asked curiously.

"Alright, alright, Sizi, take a look, who is this!" Li Lizhi opened the picture of the 100-guan banknote.

"Hehe~ I'm nesting here~"

"And my second sister too~"

Princess Yuzhang wasn't there, otherwise she would definitely say that Xiao Ran was biased.

Xiao Ran did indeed favor the two little princesses.

So many denominations for the two little princesses.

All the others combined don't have as much as the two little princesses.
