The autumn wind was blowing, and in the fields where the rice had been harvested, Li Lian led a few people to drive a large group of ducks into the field to catch insects to eat.

The rice fields at this time are the time when the insects are most panicked.

The old rice has been harvested, the new hiding place has not yet been found, and all kinds of small spiders and insects have entered the mouths of ducks.

However, whether it is Fang Xuanling, Dai Xuan, or Li Kuan, they are not interested in watching the scene of ducks eating insects.

"Good! These two guys finally didn't disappoint this king! ”

Li Kuan took a quick look at the good news sent back by Xue Li, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Ahem!"

"Ahem!"

Fang Xuanling and Dai Xuan were embarrassed to rush to see the good news with Li Kuan, so they had to cough desperately to remind Li Kuan that they were next to him.

"Fang Xiang, Dai Shangshu, your worries can be relieved. After this battle, the people of Xue Yantuo did not dare to provoke the Tang Dynasty easily in a few years. ”

As Li Kuan spoke, he handed the good news in his hand to Fang Xuanling.

This good news came at a really good time, it was simply a god's assist.

Anyway, those Turkic people in the Yunzhong Governor's Mansion were also terrified, for fear that the Xue Yantuo people would make trouble for themselves, so they simply moved inside.

There were already tens of thousands of Turks in Chang'an City before, and their lives were better than expected, which strengthened the idea of those Turks in the frontier to cooperate with the imperial court's internal relocation.

"This ...... With an army of more than 3,000, he won the head of more than 5,000 Xue Yantuo people? The 100,000 troops of the defeated Yi Nan fled in despair? It's also too ......."

Although Fang Xuanling hopes that the good news in his hand is true, the content in it looks like it is fake.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, you didn't deliberately play a scene in order to encourage the old man to go to His Majesty to support your suggestion, right?"

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Kuan suspiciously, feeling that this good news was too coincidental, and the key was that the content in it was too unbelievable.

"Fang Xiang, the good news can be faked, but the head of the Xue Yantuo people can't be faked. In fact, in my opinion, if the army can find more than 5,000 heads, then the actual casualties of the Xue Yantuo people will definitely be even greater than this. Some of those who were directly killed by explosives, or were trampled by horses, may not be counted. ”

Although Li Kuan also felt that this result was much better than he wanted, with his understanding of Su Lie and Xue Li, it was impossible for them to do something that falsely reported their military exploits.

In fact, as long as they were able to harvest the heads of one or two thousand Xue Yantuo people this time, it would already be a great achievement, and there was no need to take a huge risk to come up with a fake data of more than five thousand.

A fool would do this if there is a complete mismatch between input and output.

Just like some companies in later generations are cheating, if doubling the performance is enough, then there is no need to say that it has doubled five or six times at once, otherwise, it will be accidentally pierced.

"If it is true, then I will definitely support your proposal in the presence of Your Majesty. Not only that, but the old man will definitely coordinate all his forces to push forward your proposal with all his might. ”

Although Fang Xuanling was a little worried that Li Kuan was so keen on the cause of "serving the country and the people", would he have any special motives.

But considering that this matter is indeed good for Datang, Fang Xuanling thought about the answer for a while and made a decision.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu did this thing is still different from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wei, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had such foresight, His Majesty would not be so dissatisfied every time.

……

Du He has been in a good mood recently, and took the initiative to invite a few noble children such as Changsun Chong to have dinner in Wuheju.

"Brother Du, I heard that the recent live fish in your house have been sold for six yuan a pound in the West Market? This adds up to a lot, and Du Fu has a lot of income this year. ”

A large area of land near Qujiang Pond belongs to the Du family, and it is the largest freshwater fish breeding center in Chang'an City, which is not a secret in the eyes of the nobles and people of Chang'an City.

The Du family lives in Chang'an City, and their reputation has always been good.

"Brother Chai, hey, I can't help it, there are so many people in the house, my eldest brother is heartbroken, I, as a younger brother, have to help come up with ideas."

Chai Lingwu's words, Du He listened very comfortably, but he pretended to be modest.

In this small group, Du He's sense of existence and status are relatively low, whether it is Changsun Chong or Chai Lingwu, his status is more prominent than him, even Gao Zhenxing, who is now sitting under him, as Gao Shilian's son, is also more open than himself in Chang'an City.

"At the beginning, Li Kuan worked hard to transport the sea fish from Dengzhou to Chang'an, but he didn't expect it to drive everyone's fashion of eating fish, and it is estimated that he didn't expect that the ultimate beneficiary would be Brother Du."

Gao Zhenxing is relatively young, but he speaks very directly.

However, he is the best martial artist in this line, so he can be on an equal footing with everyone.

"Yes, after Brother Du married Princess Chengyang last year, his luck has changed greatly."

Chai Lingwu couldn't help but feel a little hot, he is not a good person, but because of his good background and relatively noble status, he can be regarded as having a place in Chang'an City, otherwise Li Tai would not have spent money to win him over.

"Come, let's toast Brother Du."

The eldest grandson Chong was also very satisfied with this little follower, and couldn't help but give Du He some face.

……

In Shijia Village, a few miles away from the courtyard of the Chu Wangfu, next to a small barren mountain, a thatched house stands on the mountainside, surrounded by a wooden fence, in which two geese are raised to watch the house.

This is Shiyang's home.

Don't look at the living standards of the people of Datang have improved a lot in recent years, but it depends on what it is compared with.

In terms of Shi Yang's appearance, he can already be regarded as a person who has a good life among the ordinary people of Datang.

There are more than eight acres of rice fields leased by Shi Yangjia, which is relatively small.

However, in this way, the family's rice was harvested first.

Looking at the bamboo mat, the golden rice is universal, and Shi Yang's face is full of joy

"Baby, I'll go to Chang'an City first."

"Wait a minute, bring two more biscuits, don't go hungry."

Shiyang's mother-in-law knitted a woolen sweater at home and sold it in the market to subsidize the family; I also take care of the two children at home.

However, the eldest child has already gone to Mengxue in the Chu Palace, so she basically doesn't need to worry about it.

"Okay, it's okay to bring two more, I don't know when it will be sold out."

Shi Yang looked at the crucian carp and grass carp in the large wooden barrel that were densely packed with crucian carp poking their heads out of the water, and his face was both worried and full of longing.

Eight acres of fish, now I just caught a casual fish in one of the fish ditches, and fifty or sixty fish came out, so many fish, how to sell them?

"I heard that in Chang'an City, a pound of live fish can be sold for five cents, but I estimate that there are so many fish sellers at once, and the price will definitely fall, in my opinion, as long as it can be sold, no matter how much money a pound is."

Shiyang's mother-in-law often goes to the market to sell woolen clothes, but she has a bit of vision.

"I know that this fish has no capital, it is all an accidental output in the rice field, even if it can only be sold for a penny, we have also made it."

Shi Yang silently calculated in his heart, according to the calculation of one acre of land and one thousand fish, eight acres of land is eight thousand, half of which belongs to the Chu Wangfu, and he has four thousand.

Even if it's a penny, there are four dollars.

Thinking of this, Shi Yang's breathing became a little shorter.

I've never seen so much money before.

If this really happens, the money I will earn this year will be more than I have earned in the past many years combined.

And that's not even counting the rice in the ground.

"Yes, then you should go early and come back early."

Under the farewell of the two big white geese, Shi Yang pushed the wheelbarrow towards Chang'an City.

With the continuous rotation of the wheels, the gas transmission mechanism follows the movement, continuously blowing air into the water in the barrel, and the sound of "poof" bubbles sounds.

Seven or eight miles of road, and you have to push a wheelbarrow, even if most of them are already cement roads, it took nearly an hour to come to the gate of Chang'an City.

"Hey, fish seller, how do you sell this fish?"

Before Shiyang came to Xishi, someone asked on the way.

"I heard that a pound of live fish in the West Market costs five cents, I give a twenty percent discount, how about four cents a pound?"

Shiyang was one of the first people to sell fish from the rice fields, and he was considered the luckiest group.

Within a few days, with a large number of live fish coming on the market, the price will inevitably fall to a record low.

"It's okay, your price is sincere, but you have to help me send it to Wuheju, and I only need to live, if I get to the place and the fish dies, I don't want it."

The one who spoke was obviously the guy in charge of procurement in Wuhe Curie, obviously thinking about taking advantage.

However, it was the first time Shi Yang sold fish, and it had been an hour since the fish and insect family arrived in Chang'an City, and no fish had died, so he didn't care about the guy's words.

However, a passer-by next to him kindly reminded, "If you pretend to be a fish like this, you will all die in a while, right?" You might as well hurry up and ask from house to house in the neighborhood to see who wants to buy fish. ”

"It's okay, Miss Wu arranged for someone to tell you, as long as you don't stop in one place all the time, this fish won't die during transportation."

Shi Yang's face was loyal, honest and simple, but a few passers-by who lived nearby couldn't help but run home and get a wooden barrel to buy a fish.

The guy in Wuheju next to him was not in a hurry, and looked at Shi Yang with a curious expression.

During this time, the price of live fish in the West Market is not cheap, and considering that after the live fish is transported back, more than half of them often die, and in order to ensure the quality, Wuheju never needs dead fish to cook for guests, so every fish in Wuheju is actually not cheap.

And this stone-raised wooden barrel is densely packed with fish mouths, according to the experience of the guy, it is really like what the passer-by said just now, and he will all die in a while.

But what the guy didn't understand was that the fish seller was obviously from outside the city, and it looked like he had been in a hurry for a long time, so why were all the fish in the barrel still alive?

It's not normal.

If this is the case, in the future, the fish of Wuheju will be delivered to his door, and it will be cost-effective to give more money himself.

"This Lang Jun, do you still go to the restaurant you said?"

In just a quarter of an hour, Shi Yang sold a dozen fish, earning money that he couldn't save in the previous year.

"Go, why don't you go!"

The man looked at the fish in the barrel, and all of them were still alive, occasionally one or two with their stomachs turned upside down, and their mouths were still open and closed, apparently still alive.

……

In the various shops of Chang'an City, there have been many farmers pushing wheelbarrows recently.

On top of each wheelbarrow, there is a large bucket, and these people basically don't stay in one place for long.

Because Li Kuan had greeted Jin Wuwei in advance, these farmers who were selling live fish in various shops were not driven away.

According to the original rules, the East Market and the West Market are the commercial activity areas, and stalls can be set up, and other shops are not allowed to set up stalls at will.

Of course, this regulation has not been well implemented from the beginning to the end.

This is just like the ghosts of later generations, no matter how strict the management is, there is no way to completely prohibit it, let alone when the management is lax.

In his previous life, Li Kuan had seen many crowded subway entrances, and all kinds of stalls were more lively than the market.

Today's Datang has a relatively relaxed attitude towards vendors.

"Fish seller, bring me a crucian carp!"

"Okay, I'll charge you two cents!"

"Bring me a grass carp too, it's a penny, right?"

"Yes, I'll put it in this bucket for you."

Within a few days, the price of live fish in Chang'an City plummeted.

Now, the straw carp is completely sold on the strip.

Anyway, the size of the straw carp sold by the tenants of the Chu Wangfu is basically very similar, after all, the fry of the same size are raised, and the breeding environment is very similar, so the size of each fish is very close.

For the sake of convenience, I simply sold it on the article.

A live crucian carp costs two pennies a penny, and a dead crucian carp one penny.

A live grass carp is a penny, and a dead one is also a penny.

However, with the wheelbarrow of the gas transmission mechanism, there are very few dead fish.

A few unlucky people stupidly parked their wheelbarrows in a fixed place and started selling fish, and then found that a large number of them died not long after, and slowly they all reacted.

The thing that connects the wheels to the barrel, which always bubbles in the water, should be very useful.

This secret appeared in broad daylight in front of someone, but no one took the initiative to tell outsiders.

……

"Lord Wang, aren't our fish still for sale?"

In the courtyard of the Chu Palace, Wu Meiniang asked Li Kuan a little confused.

Don't look at the farmers selling fish everywhere in Chang'an City now, in fact, the Chu Wangfu is the biggest fishmonger.

Thousands of acres of rice are farmed with fish, and half of them belong to the Chu Wangfu.

If you count 1,000 fish per acre, that's about 2 million fish.

The total population of Chang'an City is only more than one million, and more than two million fish are not sold in the ground, no wonder Wu Meiniang is a little anxious.
