Seeing what Lu Maofeng was holding, Gao Baiyang opened his mouth in surprise, but could not spit out a single word.
Seeing Gao Baiyang's expression, Lu Maofeng knew that he had lost. His Highness King Qin had completely guessed Gao Baiyang's heart.
At this time, Li Yuanxing said: "What is the way of business? Buy low and sell high?"
"Your Highness..." Gao Baiyang said, but he didn't know what to say?
"The way of business lies in circulation. There is no high-quality ginseng and mink skin in Chang'an. Because of the shortage, things are rare and valuable. Merchants can benefit! Besides people's livelihood, for merchants, traders provide firewood, rice, oil, salt, cloth, brocade, thread, and needles. The people's needs are what the merchants need.
What we do is let the north have the special products of the south, and the south have the products of the north. This is business!"
After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he stood up.
Gao Baiyang, on the other hand, stood up and bowed.
Li Yuanxing added: "As a businessman, you will not lose your dignity when you are poor, and you will not lose your friendship when you are rich."
After saying that, Li Yuanxing walked out, and Gao Baiyang, who was bowing, bowed to the end. Li Yuanxing walked to Su An and said, "Come out with me!"
Su An followed him out.
"Go and write down your experience of this trip and leave it to me in the next few days. Take a five-day break and lead a team out of Chang'an to Luoyang. All the copycat gangs on the road from Chang'an to Luoyang will be dealt with by the rangers, but if anything happens
If you encounter trouble, you can use my king’s token to summon troops from various states, and I only want results!”
"Su An understands!"
Li Yuanxing waved his hand: "You go in and have dinner. Tomorrow, Gao Baiyang will be asked to go to the Tianchi Tea Party to be a steward. I just want to see what he is capable of!"
Su An retreated, and Gao Baiyang was sweating profusely as Lu Maofeng asked him many weird questions.
A personal guard had been standing in the distance, and Lao Li was standing behind with a cloth around his neck. Li Yuanxing waved to Lao Li after seeing it, and Lao Li ran over on his own with a smile.
Old Li Tou is a big shot in Qinwangzhuang who has no position but a very high status. The guards only confiscated the few shovels he had on his body and let him into the village. Anything that could be used as a weapon in Qinwangzhuang
, all must be supervised by personal guards.
"Have you eaten Lao Li's head?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.
"Thanks to Your Highness, today I have a big bowl of noodles and fine flour!" Lao Li's head was red, and he was very satisfied with his current life. The family had enough food, and he found his granddaughter again. This granddaughter doesn't know how to
After doing farm work, she became a female teacher in school, which was considered promising.
Li Yuanxing pointed to the garden and walked towards the garden with Old Li Tou.
Old Li Tou came here just after spring plowing, and he must have something to say.
"Your Highness, dozens of the pumpkins planted in the greenhouse last winter have already matured. The rest are estimated to be ready in about ten days. According to the teachings in Your Highness's booklet, they will be planted just in time for Grain Rain, early autumn.
We can harvest again, but old man, I miscalculated the land and left too little land!"
Lao Litou is not admitting his mistake, he is just telling one thing.
In Qinwangzhuang, those who constantly admit their mistakes and apologize are not liked by Li Yuanxing.
Old Li Tou has lived for sixty years, and he knows very well that the King of Qin likes people who work hard. Even if there are some mistakes, as long as there is a solution, he will still reward them.
Old Li Tou added: "New grain can only be planted within ten villages. Our farm cannot defend the remaining villages. There are less than 10,000 acres of usable land now, and there are still several things that need to be planted."
"Eat the mature ones!" Li Yuanxing said with a smile: "Then tidy up the greenhouse so that it can be used for breeding. It must be better than last year in winter. Sweet potatoes are a big deal, so you have to watch this. I will give it again
Lu Maofeng told me to tell the Guards to pay attention!"
"Then, little old man, go and pick some over now?"
"Pick some beautiful ones and leave some for the villagers to try."
Old Li Tou left happily, Li Yuanxing went directly back to the small study, and Wu Zhao was comparing the route map from Chang'an to Luoyang.
"A piece of bad news, a piece of good news!"
"Listen to the bad guys first!" Wu Zhao asked directly without raising his head.
Li Yuanxing sat on the chair that Qiuxiang brought for him: "The bad news is that Lao Litou doesn't have enough land now. The planting area of sweet potatoes and pumpkins must be reduced. So, I chose sweet potatoes!"
The golden melon that Lao Litou mentioned is actually a pumpkin.
Wu Zhao's eyes lit up: "The good news is, there are extra pumpkins to eat!"
"How smart!" Li Yuanxing was stunned for a moment and then smiled happily. When Wu Zhao came to Datang, what he wanted most was to plant delicious modern food in Datang first, so that he could eat it later.
Wu Zhao stood up and was about to ask for clothes, but Li Yuanxing stopped her: "Tomorrow, I will enter Chang'an tomorrow. I will go to Yaozhou the day after tomorrow. I have to see for myself. There are many things that I can rest assured after seeing for myself!"
"I'll go too!" Wu Zhao immediately asked Qiuxiang to clean up for him.
Li Yuanxing shook his head gently, returned to his study and printed out two copies of various methods of making delicious pumpkins.
Li Yuanxing's motorcade set off before dawn the next day. This time, Princess Qin was accompanied by three people, Cui Yingying, Li Liyuan, and Zheng Xiuyan. Although Zheng Xiuyan had not yet married Li Yuanxing, she had not visited the palace either.
Queen Changsun, take this opportunity to take her out for a walk.
Naturally, Wu Zhao will follow. Yaozhou still needs Wu Zhao to inspect the work.
In Chang'an City, when they heard that Li Yuanxing had come to Chang'an, Li Er went to the palace gate in person to greet him.
"The imperial brother welcomes you in person, but the younger brother is frightened!"
Li Erxin said, "You don't need to be afraid. Instead, I am surprised because of my brother. Why are you coming to Chang'an at this time?"
After all, this is a palace gate. Li Er said loudly: "I haven't seen you for half a month, and I miss you so much. I just had to go to Qin Wangzhuang to visit Wu Lang. It happened that Wu Lang came to Chang'an. After handling some government affairs today, I will drink with my brother in the evening!"
"Brother Chen brought some gifts!"
Li Er took Li Yuanxing's hand and entered the inner courtyard of the palace together.
According to the rules in the harem, Li Yuanxing's concubines of the Qin Dynasty had to go to see the queen first, and Wu Zhao also followed. Li Yuanxing and Li Er entered the study.
"Originally, these four seals were supposed to be delivered to your Zhuangzi today. Just in time, you came over and I will open them with you, brother!"
Li Yuanxing looked through it a few times, but the seals were still sealed. They were four copies of the seals of Li Jing, Chai Shao, Hou Junji, and Li Daozong. The four copies were put together, obviously for one thing.
Liaodong, Goguryeo!
The two brothers Li Er and Li Yuanxing looked at each other, and their movements were surprisingly consistent. They both put their left hands on the table and pointed at the watch with their right hands, without saying anything.
There was no need to rush this form, but it was just handed over in the normal way, which means that this is the last form before the war. Li Er asked Li Yuanxing: "Guess Wu Lang, what do they want to do?"
Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand and pressed it on the watch, and began to analyze the mentality of the four people in his mind.
On the other side, Wu Zhao entered the palace of Queen Changsun with gifts.
Today is a bit special. There are actually more than ten concubines in Queen Changsun's palace, including Concubine Yang and Concubine Wei. There are also more than twenty noble ladies, and they are discussing the Tianchi Tea Party.
Several famous painters in Chang'an have painted the beautiful scenery of Tianchi, and several of them with strong penmanship have also written poems praising Tianchi. Various newspapers have vigorously promoted the Tianchi Tea Party, especially the ranking competition of famous Tang teas.
Let the people who have some free time after spring plowing be excited.
Those ladies who had nothing to do were even more excited.
Because they had the opportunity to go outing in the park and enjoy the beautiful scenery in Tianchi, it was naturally a pleasure to taste famous tea.
Although Wu Zhao was young, her status was not low, and many ladies wanted to pay tribute to her.
Wu Zhao is different from Li Yuanxing. Li Yuanxing doesn't care about etiquette, but Wu Zhao attaches great importance to it. It took him a quarter of an hour just to greet each other with the ladies. After that, Wu Zhao said: "Ming Yue brought me with you today.
A gift, but a very delicious snack.”
"Ming Yue is interested!" Empress Changsun said politely.
The imperial chef is a chef with real skills. The pumpkin recipe that Wu Zhao presented is the one Li Yuanxing printed. There are mainly three types: steaming, frying, and roasting. These three are the most top-notch skills of chefs in the Tang Dynasty. In the imperial palace
The auxiliary materials are definitely not less than those of Qin Wangzhuang. The imperial chef only asked a few questions that he did not understand, and then went down with the plan.
Wu Zhao, however, confessed again: "Ask the Forbidden Army to guard it. All the seeds will be taken back, roasted, and not a single seed will be leaked out!"
Empress Changsun nodded. In addition to arranging the imperial army, she also arranged for her eunuch in charge to personally watch. There must be a reason why Wu Zhao was so careful.
"Is there something special this time?" Concubine Yang asked directly as she was on good terms with Wu Zhao.
Wu Zhao motioned for three to be brought up, pointing to the smallest one first: "This small plate of pumpkins is beautiful, fun, and delicious. It costs about 20 dan per acre, and the storage time is not short. Anyway, I know I like it the most."
The one Wu Zhao was pointing to weighed only about a kilogram and was a beautiful round little pumpkin.
Then he pointed to the one weighing about three or four kilograms: "This one is too big. It doesn't taste as sweet as the smaller ones, but it's still edible! Li Yuanxing called this Mopan Pumpkin. It's eaten too often as a snack, and it's too sweet to eat as food.
"
The last one was two feet long. Wu Zhao kicked it with his foot: "This is a vegetable pumpkin, which is eaten as food. Although it is sweet, it is still too dry and hard!"
This time, Queen Changsun was purely curious and asked Wu Zhao: "What are the other two types of yields per mu?"
"If you know how to grow it, the Mopan pumpkin only costs 40 to 50 dan. The 100 dan vegetable gold melon shouldn't be a problem, but it consumes too much fertilizer. One acre of land requires ten fertilizers!" Wu Zhao explained.
Only Empress Changsun could understand what Wu Zhao said about the ten fats. One methane tank counts as one fat.
Ten fertilizers really require a huge amount, but think about it, the output of one hundred stones, this amount is really huge.
"Mingyue, food is far more important than snacks. Of course I have to taste it today!" Queen Changsun's words aroused the echo of all the ladies, although most of them don't understand farming. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature
