Chapter 316 Li Er starts, and the picking of Bai Diezi is completed
When it comes to items such as fried tea and glass, all the stewards of the aristocratic families cannot help but fall silent.
These two good things are indeed profitable.
In just one month, each family made at least tens of thousands of dollars.
Especially when sold to the barbarian dignitaries around the Tang Dynasty, a piece of consistent glass could be sold for ten or even twenty guan.
As for the tea, it is even more violent. The tea is put into a glass bottle, and you only need to add one sentence: This tea is a treasure that can only be drunk by the princes and princes of the Tang Dynasty.
No need to introduce too much to those caravans, the original tea was priced at 50 guan, and the dignitaries were all vying for it!
If His Majesty is really ruthless in this matter, he will really be cutting their flesh!
As for the generals who have been clamoring to cause trouble for them, no one from these aristocratic families will take them to heart.
"Everyone, regarding this matter, should we talk to the Prime Minister, Duke of Qi and others again?"
"Hasn't the Prime Minister already said that? His Majesty Li Er told us about this matter!"
The steward of a wealthy family had an angry look on his face.
"However, those sand and gravel workshops have made at least tens of thousands of dollars for your family in the past few months!"
"If we don't wait for the reply from the head of the family, His Majesty can't have a stalemate with our family just because of a concrete road!"
Among them, a steward from an aristocratic family sighed softly and said slowly.
As soon as these words came out, all the stewards of the aristocratic families were stunned for a moment, their eyes lit up and they nodded repeatedly.
"This can be done!"
"Exactly, what Brother Liu said is very wonderful!"
"With this excuse, Li Er will not fall out with us so quickly!"
As he said that, all the aristocratic families looked a little more relaxed.
Now that the Tang Dynasty is unified and Li Er is firmly in power, these aristocratic families do not dare to be so tough on the imperial court.
"Now that the matter has been decided, please wait for a moment. I will ask my servants to serve wine and food, and a singer will join in the fun. Let's all relax!"
"Haha, thank you so much, Brother Wang!"
All the stewards of the aristocratic families were full of joy.
In less than a moment, everyone in the house served a sumptuous table of wine and food, and a dancing dancer danced in outside the hall, creating a harmonious atmosphere in the hall.
However, just after a few glasses of wine, the housekeeper walked in with a serious look on his face.
He leaned over to the main seat and whispered a few words in his ear.
The expression of the person in charge changed drastically, and the wine glass in his hand dropped heavily on the table.
The entire hall suddenly became silent, and everyone looked over.
After waving their hands, all the maikos hurriedly bowed slightly to the seats before quickly retreating out.
Then, the person in charge said solemnly: "Everyone, His Majesty Li Er has been cruel. The price of glass and fried tea has increased by 20%, and the quantity has also been reduced by 20%!"
There was an uproar in the hall.
"Brother Wang, is this true?"
"Dear dear brothers, I certainly don't want this to be true, but just now my caravan manager went to a Jin tea shop and a glass shop to buy goods, but was told that the prices had increased by 20%, and that for fried tea
With the reduction in glass production, we can only provide 80% of the original goods!”
"This matter must have been assigned by Li Er!"
"But how could it be so fast?"
In an instant, the expressions of everyone from the aristocratic family changed drastically.
They never expected that Li Er would be so fast this time!
Immediately, unable to stay any longer, they all stood up and left.
"Brother Wang, dear brothers, I want to go back and have a look, so I'll excuse you now!"
"Someone is leaving too..."
When the stewards of these aristocratic families hurried back to the other courtyard, they saw the stewards of their own caravan waiting outside the courtyard with anxious faces, and couldn't help but feel chilled.
Then, messengers rushed out from each courtyard.
Regarding these things, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were all sitting on the sofa after receiving reports, their faces full of joy.
Li Xuan, on the other hand, stood in the forging workshop, looking curiously at the two old papermakers, Mo Laosi and Li Dashi, working there.
On the side, Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi were holding a thick little book and kept recording.
"Your Majesty, mash and cook the yellow tiller skin like this three times. After it is cooked into mince, it can be turned into paper!"
After a while, Li Dashi reported to Li Xuan.
"Very good!"
Li Xuan nodded lightly.
"When this matter is about to proceed to the next step, I will come back to check!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Dashi and Mo Laosi both looked overjoyed.
"Bandstand!"
"King!"
Bandai quickly looked at Li Xuan.
"Do you know what I mean when I ask you to come here?" Li Xuandan asked in a calm voice.
"this……"
Le Tai was stunned for a moment and quickly frowned in thought.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, "As a ruler of Mohism, you should be innovative in everything you do."
"Innovation?"
Le Tai was stunned.
"naturally!"
Li Xuandao: "Making paper like this, don't you think, not only is it very slow, but the paper produced is not very good!"
This time, Bandai understood and his face lit up.
"The king wants the villain to improve papermaking?"
"Of course!" Li Xuan said.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's wishes!"
Bandai nodded solemnly.
"If you can improve on whiter paper and faster papermaking techniques, I will reward you with a hundred pieces of paper!"
Li Xuan nodded again and left.
"How happy the king is!"
In the forging room, there were also Mo Laosi and Li Dashi on the bandstand, all of whom couldn't help but look overjoyed.
…
Early in the morning, Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo came to Li Xuan's courtyard again.
"The little man meets the king."
"What can you do?"
Li Xuan asked.
"Back to your Majesty, I am here to report to your Majesty that the twenty acres of white grapes have been picked!"
Cui Hongmo handed over his hand to report.
"oh?"
Li Xuan looked happy and asked quickly: "How many kilograms of Baidianzi were picked in total?"
"Back to your Majesty, one acre of white grapes yields about 400 catties, and twenty acres yields a total of 8,000 catties!"
Speaking of this, both Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde couldn't help but beam with joy.
"Very good!"
Li Xuan was even more delighted, "These white seeds are dried in the sun, and the black seeds inside are also stored separately to continue planting next year!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The two of them hurriedly raised their hands and responded.
"In addition, please give me two hundred kilograms of these white stacks. I will be of great use!"
Li Xuan said again.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
In response, the two looked at each other subconsciously, with a hesitation flashing in their eyes.
"What else?"
Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Your Majesty, in the past two days, the stewards of the Wang family, Lu family and other aristocratic families came to find the villain!" Cui Hongmo said cautiously.
"What are you looking for?" Li Xuan asked.
"Your Majesty, according to the wishes of the Prime Minister, from now on, the price of tea supplied to those aristocratic families will increase by 20%, and the quantity will be reduced by 20%!"
Cui Hongmo said.
"What?"
Li Xuan sneered, "They want you to come and plead for mercy?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde handed over their hands one after another.
"Wise ass!"
Li Xuan scolded angrily, with an angry look on his face, "I haven't come to trouble them about this matter, but they have already paid my attention!"
Hearing this, Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo couldn't help but be startled.
Before the two of them could speak, Li Xuan said coldly again: "This matter is His Majesty's punishment for them. How dare I interfere in this matter?"
"What are they thinking about asking you to come and look for me? Or do they think that if I stay in the village all the time, I can be bullied?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde couldn't help but change their expressions.
"snort!"
Li Xuan snorted coldly, "How dare I blame you two!"

I went to two hospitals today and had my teeth checked both times!
Damn it, my family advised me to remove 3 pills and refill 7 pills.
My family advised me to remove 6 pills, but they haven't told me how much I would need to replenish them.
They are all tertiary hospitals...
