"I will introduce my surname, my surname is Li, my single name is Yi, and I have a Zhuangzi..."

After dinner and resting for a while, Li Yi found eleven people and introduced himself.

Before he could finish his words, the person responsible for the operation of the pepper sold directly: "We knew Master Li on the east side of the Ba River in the east of Chang'an City."

"Where are you?" Li Yi asked only one person, but the others didn't ask, too many of them, and I couldn't remember them.

"Wei Yuefeng, my name is Wei Yuefeng. Tanzhou, west road of Jiangnan, there is a big river in front of my home..."

"Call Xiangshui." Li Yi also interrupted the other party once.

"Yes, there is still a river..."

"Liuyang Water." Li Yi knew where it was, and went north to Dongting Lake, which is now a very remote place.

The local economic conditions are not good, and people's lives are not easy.

"Master Li Dongzhu is really amazing." Wei Yuefeng nodded vigorously. Look, this is Master Li Dongzhu. He is knowledgeable and knows the river any place.

"How did the thing come from?" Li Yi did not accept this flattery.

"Five years ago, the flood was flooded and the house was washed away. The living people ran away. They could not afford to pay the rent and transfer. They had to sell the land if they were kept. No one bought it..."

Wei Yuefeng talked about his experience. Xiangshui is very unusual. He owes rent and wants to sell the land but can't sell it.

They ran south and ran to Guangzhou.

First, I helped transport things at the wharf, but later I had some money and bought goods from foreign countries and then shipped them to other places to sell.

I was cheated this year. I agreed that all peppercorns were cheap and I have seen the goods.

As a result, I didn't know what was going on. After all the five hundred pepper cargoes were delivered, the ship left and found that there was something that was not pepper.

Like seeds of green onion, green onion seeds and pepper are not the same price.

They suffered losses and were deceived. They couldn't find anyone, so they took all the money in, so they brought things to Chang'an, which had a high demand for pepper.

I spent the year on the road, with a total of fifty people carrying loads and walking, so that the road from Guangzhou to Chang'an is being repaired everywhere.

Especially Dayu Ridge, the road is well built, long and wide.

When it comes to Chang'an, the goods are not easy to sell. Unless the price is reduced, everyone will not charge them. When will they sell them in scattered ways?

They came up with a solution, grind it into powder and sell pepper, and mixed it with green onion seeds.

They saw something with grinding noodles. This thing is so good and suitable for powdering.

So they gave money to a family in Jun County and asked the other party to help rent a hand-cranked noodles grinder.

After processing for a few days, I saved up a batch and prepared to sell it next to Chang'an City.

People here are relatively rich and will not meet experts, and in theory they will not meet them.

"We think green onion seeds are not dying, so we can use them as seasonings, and we can mix them together to sell peppers.

Even if you sell 200 pieces and lose 300 pieces, at least you still have a chance.

I never thought that as soon as I sold three bags, I... just..."

Wei Yuefeng said as he raised his hand to wipe his eyes, tears came down.

"The foreigners knew that the thing was different from green onions. As a result, when they arrived at Guangzhou Port, others said it was green onions seeds, so don't.

Then I met you, and I happened to cheat you for the last time. There were many techniques. You thought you bought the cheap one, so you neglected it.

Your behavior has indeed been adulterated, uh... it has not caused any serious consequences. I forgive you."

Li Yi really couldn't send these people to the office. After sending them to the office, he would confiscate them and beat them with a stick. Each person was 60 times.

This should be done according to law. Fifty people on the other side will be over in this life.

"Thank you, Lord Li, you are very kind and kind. We will never dare to do it again in the future." Wei Yuefeng wiped his tears and the others wiped them together.

I think about it and I am afraid that my family will be gone and I will be beaten and recuperate. How can I live my life?

"I guess you can't remember each other's appearance. I'll write a letter and you will return to Guangzhou and hand it over to Zhang Jiuling, who is now in charge of the Guangzhou Maritime Bureau.

They are all foreign merchants and local merchants. They know about the green onion seeds. They ask about it and come and punish them to death next time.

By the way, I will bring you soap, soap, dew, and a few small mirrors with exquisite packaging.

You can help me sell it, I will give you a price and sell it according to the price. You will gain 10% of the profit. The money sold above the price will be 55% of the profit."

Li Yi doesn't want his people to suffer this loss. He will catch them unless those people don't come in the future.

By the way, he wanted to open up the links of foreign trade, and the farthest places were all at the Strait of Hormuz, otherwise where would the onion seeds come from?

"No, we will help you sell it, all the money you earn is yours." Wei Yuefeng shook his head quickly.

The other ten nodded, thinking that Li Yi was particularly kind, and it was indeed the prime minister's magnanimity and was convinced by virtue.

"No, don't do it, do what I said. You can go out to stay in a tent tonight and send you honeycomb coal stoves. Remember not to get carbon poison."

Li Yi settled the matter and did not give others benefits. If he helped him once, could he still help him in the future?

"We are not afraid of the cold, and there is no fire kang in Jingzhao Mansion in winter. Now it's spring, it's not cold." Wei Yuefeng was worried that Li Yi would spend more money.

"I know, alas!" Li Yi sighed.

At that time, when there was no heating in Changsha, Hunan, the temperature...

Interestingly, the heating in the northeastern house is about ten degrees above zero and the heating is not enough. It is too cold and we have to fight.

To the south, I thought it was cold in the northeast, but later I realized that the house was much warmer than my own winter.

At around zero temperatures, southerners are very accustomed to it.

What is the worst situation in the north? You can do outdoor labor under minus 30 degrees Celsius.

If you freeze your feet, you will stamp your feet, and if you freeze your hands, you will stretch your arms. If you freeze your ears, you will cover your face with your hands.

However, there are many people in the south who get sick in winter. Later, they gradually put heating in. Those who don’t have air conditioners themselves, and those who still buy small suns.

There is a earthen stove in the village, and everyone is not stupid.

"Brother San, coal needs to be promoted and used, especially honeycomb coal stoves. Except for the areas southwards, other locations are also difficult to bear in winter."

Li Yi turned to look at Li Longji. Li Longji was listening and watching.

"When I woke up early in the winter in Chang'an, I was accompanied by crying." Li Longji thought of the former Chang'an.

“I can provide some coal mine locations everywhere, some are open-pit mines, and some need to be dug downwards.

If transportation is convenient, open-pit mines can be directly transported to the past. With the current usage, it can be used for countless years."

Li Yi doesn’t care about pointing out a coal mine inside the Tang Dynasty and digging it. If you can dig out the open-pit mine, then you are amazing.

"Brother Yi, you don't ask for anything in return." Li Longji sighed. If many people know about mines, they have to dig them secretly.

Wei Yuefeng and others looked at Li Longji, Brother Yi? This person...

"This matter is settled, go and rest, or go out for a walk. Remember not to let the woman rush forward next time." Li Yi expressed his dissatisfaction.

"We don't want it either, but we can't compare to her. She made the idea of ​​selling pepper this time." Wei Yuefeng expressed helplessness.

What's wrong with the girl? Awesome.

"Yes, Wu Zetian is quite powerful. Those with the surname Wu are actually very capable. For example, Wu Jieyu in the palace may become another Wu Zetian if she is not careful."

Li Yi smiled and nodded, and said directly to the people in the palace.
