Soon, Li Jingjing, who was on the side of the woman, knew what was going on, and was extremely shocked, and it took a while to react.
He Jingyan's face was full of anger, and he got up and took Li Bei out of the dining room.
When the host and guests gathered together and were eating happily, Shi Libei, the head of the Yanwang Mansion, went out for a trip, came in with a strange face when he was young, and leaned down to He Jingyan and said a few words.
The staple food of the dishes is made by the chefs of Ludi and Xiangdi, which are full of color, flavor and flavor, and are more delicious than any big restaurant in Jincheng.
There are several kinds of wine used by Yanwangfu to entertain guests, such as aphrodisiac and kidney medicine for men, fruit wine for women to beautify their faces and prevent aging, and fresh fruit juice for children.
At noon, boys and girls share tables for a feast.
Li Jingjing said disapprovingly: "It's not a big deal. You're welcome. Flower seeds, I only give them to those who really like it. ”
Their biological mother knew that the flower seeds sent by Li Jingjing could grow out of season, which was unique in the world, and only she had it, even if she had money, she couldn't buy it, so she came over to thank her.
A few children got flower seeds, and they were as happy as if they were something, and circled around Li Jingjing.
Li Jingjing looked at the child and thought of her mother's younger brother and eldest nephew Li Kun, and said with a smile: "Since you like flowers so much, I will give each of you two flower seeds, and you can take them back and plant them yourself, and see what flowers grow in a few days." ”
Several of the children of the officers' family stood in the garden looking at the flowers and refused to leave, and were picked up angrily by their biological mothers and said something threatening not to bring them next time.
Wang Yanyu said: "The princess has a good temper, so you can joke, if you change someone else, you will beat it out with a big stick." ”
Li Jingjing had just married He Jingyan, her face was still thin-skinned, and her pretty face was flushed by the jokes of this group of old ladies who had been married for several years.
"If I were the prince and married a fairy-like person like the princess, I would be reluctant to leave the palace half a step."
"No matter how beautiful the flowers are, they are not as beautiful as the princess, and this winter the prince is reluctant to take the princess, so he will not take troops to the Huns in the north."
"The leaves outside the house have fallen, and the flowers in the house are still blooming so brightly."
The bowl of beautiful camellias, delicate and lovely roses, fragrant gardenias, fragrant peonies, slim begonias, pink, red, white, purple, blue, yellow, purple and red, compete with each other.
Every time the family members come to the Yanwang Mansion, the biggest surprise is the flowers and plants in the garden, and this time is no exception.
After Li Jingjing moved in, he sent his servants to replant flowers and plants, except for a small piece of land used to grow crops, and the rest of the land was planted with dozens of strange flowers and plants that could not be seen in Longbei.
Li Jingjing and her family members ate hot tea, fruits, and snacks first, and waited for the sun to reach the center of their heads, and when the cold of the morning dissipated and the temperature rose, they went to the garden for a walk to enjoy the flowers.
It is not the first time that more than a dozen officials and family members who came to Longbei with He Jingyan and his wife, as well as the officers and family members of the Huben Army, have sat together to eat and drink, they all know each other, and they usually move around each other.
The last day of the month is the day of bathing. On this day, the Li brothers and sisters and He Jingyan held a banquet in the palace to invite friends and subordinates.
Jincheng is still like this, and the six cities to the west are even colder. Dunhuang and Yumen were cold as early as the beginning of September.
Winter here comes a month earlier than Chang'an, and the greens in the vegetable field disappear a month earlier.
The weather is cold, the cruise ships on the Yellow River are gone, and no matter how elegant the rich and noble people are, they will not stand in the middle of the river to eat the river breeze that can blow people's faces.
Half of the leaves in the Jincheng Mountains and Forests have fallen, and some of the trees in the city have also fallen, revealing the gloom of winter everywhere.
It was the end of September, and after two frosts, the north wind was howling at night, and the temperature during the day plummeted, and the weather began to get cold.
He Jingyan smiled and coaxed: "The lady's medicinal powder is all bought and sold without capital, and she doesn't need to spend a single copper coin." It's cheap and good. But as a husband, I love my mother like this. ”
Li Jingjing took a sip and said: "The intestinal powder I made will not cause diarrhea, and it can improve the organs of human digestion. ”
"Lady, I remembered a sentence for my husband." He Jingyan stretched out his hand and tapped his wife's slightly upturned nose, and said word by word: "No business, no treachery." ”
"The quality of the oil fragrance is good, and that is the new oil press. As for whether it has the effect of curing constipation. Li Jingjing paused, her expression was mysterious, and she said in a low voice: "I asked the soldiers to put some intestinal powder into the beans when they squeezed soybean oil. ”
He Jingyan asked curiously: "Lady, why is the soybean oil squeezed in your oil workshop fragrant and has the effect of curing constipation?" ”
Li Jingjing smiled evilly: "How can we make wedding dresses for those vendors again and again, once is enough." ”
He Jingyan shook his head and said: "Potatoes have made these traders earn a lot of money and tasted the sweetness, and this time they have come to rob the profits of the government's soybean oil." ”
Since some officials reported the matter to He Jingyan and Li Jingjing.
So after the foreign businessmen came once, they stopped coming, the private oil workshop only made one silver money, and the remaining soybeans were all smashed in their hands, and they could not be eaten for hundreds of years, so they could only be sold, and the price became one pound or two copper coins, and the silver money earned before was not enough.
It's just that this kind of soybean oil does not have a specific packaging of the Longbei government, and somehow it is done, and it has no effect on treating constipation.
Seeing that the soybean oil in Longbei was hugely profitable, the private oil workshops in Longbei bought soybeans from farmers in Longbei and squeezed them into soybean oil for five copper plates per catty.
Longbei soybean oil has made a lot of money, and it has also started the name of Longbei specialty, and there will be customers who will produce special products in the future.
Li Jingjing was modest, and said with a smile: "The price I set is not high, this is mentioned by several officials under you." ”
He Jingyan really admires Li Jingjing's means of making money, if he sells Longbei soybean oil for a catty of eighty copper coins at most.
The price of soybean oil in Longbei is seven times that of sesame oil, a full 200,000 catties, and it was robbed by foreign businessmen in less than a day.
Li Yunxiao passed on the words for five days, and finally Li Jingjing was relieved, for the sake of these foreign merchants who were frequent visitors to the Silk Road and often came to the fiefdom to do business, Longbei soybean oil was sold at a price of 560 copper coins per catty.
"There is so much soybean oil in Longbei, please raise your noble hand, leak a little from between her fingers, and buy it at a high price and bring it back to China to taste it for the nobles of the royal family."
"Please say a few kind words in front of the princess."
Li Jingjing let Li Yunxiao speak, "The soybean oil in Longbei is not enough for the people of this dynasty to eat, how can it be sold abroad?" ”
When foreign businessmen heard the news and went to Jincheng to buy Longbei soybean oil, they had no way to see Li Jingjing, so they had to go to her brother Li Yunxiao.
Longbei's soybean oil has the effect of curing constipation, and the news spread, and the first batch of 100,000 catties was sold out at once.
If you say that soybean oil has not been eaten, but the soybean oil fried by the Longbei government is more delicious, and after eating it for a few days, people with constipation are not constipated.
A bucket of ten catties is two taels and six cents of silver, and ordinary people can't afford it at all, and only rich and noble families who can afford to eat potatoes a while ago can buy it.
On the market, tea oil sells for 40 copper coins per catty, sesame oil sells for 80 copper coins per catty, and soybean oil in Longbei sells for 260 copper coins per catty.
The ten-kilogram mahogany barrel printed with the words of Longbei special mellow soybean oil was filled with soybean oil, sealed with oil wax, and transported to Jincheng by donkey carts through guò, and then transported to Chang'an, Luoyang and the wealthy south by the Yellow River waterway and official road.
Millions of catties of soybeans were transported to the oil mill, and all the people in the workshop were too busy to touch the ground.
Li Jingjing's seven large oil mills were all opened, and the presses used in the workshops were improved, and the oil yield was twice as high as that of the old ones.
According to the previous orders of the Longbei government, the peasants sold half of the beans to the government, and the remaining half was kept as rations or sold in the market.
The beans in Longbei were ripe, and the average yield per mu reached 600 catties, which was nearly three times higher than the yield in the fertile fields in the south.
"Don't mention grandpa, he harmed us together with His Majesty and gave us seven broken cities as fiefs." Li Jingjing shook her head and said angrily: "I'm married to you, it's not his responsibility." I didn't listen to him. ”
He Jingyan asked, "Grandpa agreed?" ”
Li Jingjing wiped her tears on He Jingyan's shoulders and said, "Husband, I bought two shops in Jincheng, and I only sell medicines once a month, specifically to big pharmacists. ”
"Don't cry, don't cry, you look like this, how can you go out for your husband?" He Jingyan leaned over and kissed his beloved wife's forehead, hugging her warm and soft body with a faint medicinal fragrance, wanting her to merge into his body.
"My soybean oil sells for at least 200,000 taels of silver. You have to trust me. Li Jingjing raised her head and met He Jingyan's doting gaze, the old scars on his body with interlaced skin appeared in his mind, and he shook his head with tears in his eyes and said, "No." I won't let you go. You have to stay with me in Longbei. ”
He Jingyan stretched out his hand to stroke his beloved wife's hair and said, "The soybean oil is sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver at most." You don't have to worry, go to the Xiongnu Dynasty for your husband, at most two months, and you must come back before the lunar month. ”
She continued: "Potatoes have also been sold abroad for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Immediately the soybean in the seal can be harvested, I listened to the official report below, the output will not be less, my people have built an oil mill, just wait for the soybean to ripen and squeeze soybean oil. ”
"You are not allowed to go." Li Jingjing's tone was delicate, and He Jingyan's heart was about to be crisp when she heard it.
He Jingyan listened to it warmly, and coaxed softly: "It's okay." That's how I used to be a husband. ”
This man is hers, and she wants to live with him for the rest of her life, and she can't let him kill people desperately on a snowy day in the grassland where the long-haired livestock can freeze to death.
"It's winter soon, the Hun Dynasty is colder than Longbei, it's already snowing this time, it's cold, the horses can't stand it, not to mention people, I can't bear you to go." Li Jingjing stepped forward and hugged He Jingyan.
This winter, he will lead his troops to stay in the Xiongnu Dynasty for two months and kill several tribes.
He is a man, and he can't let Li Jingjing raise money to build a fiefdom.
"Lady, this is only 600,000 taels of silver, and there is still a difference of 2.6 million taels. The gap is too big. He Jingyan looked to the west, and the killing light flashed, and said: "Prepare for the husband to take the Huben army to the Xiongnu Dynasty in a few days, and grab some treasures and come back to exchange them for silver." ”
Li Jingjing explained: "People in the south only buy potatoes for seeds this time, and next year there will be potatoes in the south, and no one will buy them again. ”
He Jingyan was dumbfounded, and said with a smile for a while: "Lady, this is to rob the money." ”
Pork is 12 wen a catty. In sandy land, potatoes with a yield of more than 2,500 catties per mu were sold for 100 wen per catty. It really doesn't get any more strange than that.
Li Jingjing's expression was triumphant, and she said: "People in the south buy potatoes at a high price to use them for seeding and plant them in the ground next year. They were afraid that the potatoes they bought from the petty traders would not be good, so they bought them from the Qin family store I designated. The price I set was 100 wen per catty. ”
He Jingyan thought of the yellow and inconspicuous potatoes born in the sandy soil, although the taste was delicious, but it must be an ordinary crop, not a life-saving medicinal material, and was shocked: "How did you make so much money?" ”
"Wrong." Li Jingjing shook her head and said with a smile: "I earned 640,000 taels of silver, which is not counting the ones that have not been sold abroad." ”
He Jingyan replied: "At most, 100,000 taels of silver." ”
Li Jingjing smiled lightly and said, "Do you know how much money I made selling potatoes?" ”
"Lady, next year you will build Chang'an Academy, the cost of the academy has spent 300,000 taels of silver in the early stage, and after the completion of the annual investment of at least 100,000 taels of silver. Thinking that your money will only be in and out this year, this is not good. ”
He Jingyan took out a piece of paper and wrote down the silver money spent on several big projects this year in his memory, and then wrote down the silver money expected to be spent on several big projects next year, and calculated the total amount, which means as high as 3.2 million taels of silver.
"I know."
"Lady, the eighty schools in the fiefdom are almost full of students, and the cost of paper, pen, ink, and lunch alone is a few hundred taels of silver every day, which adds up to a lot, plus the monthly salary of the teacher, the expenses of a year are a huge amount of silver."
The husband and wife returned to the palace, and He Jingyan deliberately took Li Jingjing's hand to the study.
They couldn't bear to disturb the students' study, and left quietly.
He Jingyan and Li Jingjing went to inspect the three schools in Jincheng without greeting the school in advance, and what they saw was such a picture.
The courtyard of the school is newly planted with peach, apple, and apricot tree saplings, and there is a garden in the backyard, where flower seeds have just been sown in the soil and have not yet germinated.
In the kitchen not far away, two cooks with neatly cut nails were busy preparing students' meals by the stove.
The students sat in the wide and bright classroom with lovely and simple faces, and looked at the teachers who were teaching seriously with extremely respectful eyes.
The Longbei Fiefdom School started in this way.
