Chapter 224: Woad

The conservatory in the annex of the Chu Wangfu is even more spectacular.

Due to the large-scale expansion of the glass workshop when the Daming Palace was built, coupled with the success of the production of larger glass sizes, the construction of the greenhouse became no longer so difficult.

Of course, that is, Li Kuan dared to say this, and no one in Chang'an City dared to buy glass to build a greenhouse.

"Second brother, this dish doesn't seem to be quite the same as what I usually see."

Xiao Zhengtai Li Zhi followed behind Li Kuan and walked around in the greenhouse.

Since last year, after five or six rounds of selection and breeding, the weads in the greenhouse have already taken on the appearance of Chinese cabbage in later generations, but there is still a gap from what Li Kuan expected.

"Pheasant, there are many varieties of this herb itself, some grow thicker, some grow slender, some have larger leaves, and some are thinner. And the second brother's woad here is selected many times, and the ones left are thick and fat, and they are planted in several rounds, which is naturally different from the general woad. ”

Li Kuan couldn't explain the principles and methods of breeding to a six or seven-year-old person, so he had to explain it roughly.

"Second brother, why do I think you know everything, is there anything else you can't do?"

"Yes, I won't have a baby!"

"Lord Wang, how can you talk like this."

Cheng Jingwen couldn't look at it from the sidelines, and felt that Li Kuan was really ......

"Second brother, if I tell Your Majesty what you say, what do you think will happen?"

Li Xueyan and Cheng Jingwen came to the Chu Wangfu for dinner today, and also said happily on the side.

"Snow Goose, I just recently heard that Dude is your family's property? I heard that it used to be on an equal footing with Wuheju, but in the past two years, it has been opened by Wuheju? Won't you help your father share his worries? ”

Li Kuanmali changed the topic when nothing happened.

"Huh? Second brother, do you have any good ideas? Tell me quickly. ”

When Li Xueyan saw Li Kuan say this, she knew in her heart that he must have some tricks to help herself.

"The idea is very simple, your helper's eyes are on the horizon, and they are close at hand."

"Second brother, I know you can help."

"I'm not talking about me."

As soon as Li Kuan said this, Li Xueyan was stunned.

If it's not you, could it be me?

Cheng Jingwen and Li Zhi obviously can't help much, right?

Li Xueyan: "I...... What can I help my father? ”

Li Kuan: "No, you think too highly of yourself." ”

"You're deliberately trying to make me happy and change the subject, right? Second brother, I'm going to sue Your Majesty! ”

"I'm not looking for you to be happy, it's actually very simple for Diandude to overpower Wuheju. In this winter, they shouldn't have any vegetables there, if you have all the points in your house, isn't it just crushing them?

There is a saying called the late siad finely cut fat tripe, and the new bamboo shoots taste the tender horseshoe for the first time. On such a cold day, drinking a bowl of Chinese cabbage soup in a restaurant, eating a plate of braised bamboo shoots in oil, and then a jar of burning knives is not only comfortable, but also tastes very good. ’”

For a long time, the green vegetables produced in the conservatory of the Chu Wangfu were not sold to the public, and they were either eaten by themselves or used as gifts.

This year, the planting scale has been expanded more than ten times in one go, and it is completely possible to properly consider external sales.

It's not that Li Kuan has taken a fancy to this money, but to explore a way for the noble people of the Tang Dynasty to grow vegetables in winter and make money.

Otherwise, the people in the north of the Tang Dynasty will never have enough vegetables to eat in winter.

"Second brother, woad dishes are usually very ordinary, that is, they are rare in winter, but the taste is just like that, can you rely on this one dish to overpower Diandude? Why don't you sell some other courgettes, pineapples, and the like to Diandude? ”

"How is it ordinary, that's if you order Dude's cook, if I let the cook in the palace do it, what chestnuts roast Chinese cabbage, stewed pork slices with Chinese cabbage, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, or cut the Chinese cabbage into thin strips, add chicken soup and simmer slowly, slowly a bowl is like silver threads, and add some winter bamboo shoots, the taste is absolutely okay."

"Second brother, why don't you tell Sister Xue Yan alone in a while, I can't stand it a little when I hear this."

Li Zhi swallowed his saliva and felt that his stomach, which had just eaten not long ago, was starting to be hungry again.

"Hearing you say this, why do I think that the chef has become the god of vegetables, tomorrow I will ask the cook in the house to come and steal the master."

Li Xueyan listened to Li Kuan's words and immediately gained confidence.

And Cheng Jingwen, who was on the side, also silently wrote down what Li Kuan said.

In her opinion, Li Kuan can casually say the names of these dishes, which means that he should like these dishes more, and he can ...... them in the future

……

Iwami Province is a small local domain under the Wa Kingdom, located in the southwest of the Wa Kingdom, and has always been relatively poor and backward.

When Cheng Chumo was in Nambatsu, he received news from Kujo Shinichi that it was said that Iwami had some small silver mines, and the output was not very large.

However, Li Kuan specifically told himself that he had the opportunity to build a base there, and bring a group of craftsmen who knew how to prospect to personally confirm the situation of those silver mines.

Although Cheng Chumo didn't know why Li Kuan was so interested in Iwamikoku's small silver mine, he never forgot the task of building a stronghold.

"Lang Jun, this is the largest wharf in Iwami Province."

Cheng Chumo looked at the so-called dock in front of him, where even decent ships couldn't dock, and felt speechless for a while.

"Put two small boats down and see how deep the water is in these, but don't run the boat aground."

Cheng Chumo, who has been at sea for so long, also knows a thing or two about basic navigation knowledge.

Since you are going to build a stronghold in this vicinity, it is necessary to carefully survey the water depth of the port and find the most suitable place to occupy the land.

As for Iwami, will there be an opinion?

Hehe!

When the knife in your hand is vegetarian?

"Lang Jun, this time we basically brought cement and ironware, but we can't construct it in winter, do you unload the things first, and then go back to transport a batch of porcelain? Since this Iwami country produces silver, the nobles in the country should still be relatively rich. ”

"Sooner or later, this money will fall into the pockets of our East China Sea fishery, so there is no need to worry. This time, we have chosen the place first, and recruited a group of Japanese people to get the gravel and sand in advance, so that the construction can start in the spring of the next year, and when the craftsmen who will be the supervisors from the prince are almost there, we can start from the base and explore all the silver mines in Iwami Province. ”

Li Kuan didn't expect a silver mountain to appear in front of him casually, if it was so simple, it would have been discovered a long time ago.

Therefore, whether it is for the needs of silver mining in the future or the needs of mine exploration at this stage, it is necessary to establish a fixed base.

The development of Datang is getting faster and faster, and the demand for precious metals will become more and more vigorous.

Whether or not the silver coin can be released as soon as possible depends on when Iwami Ginzan is discovered.
