"How much does it cost me to buy a stone of soybeans, and how much can I sell for eight or nine catties of oil and water?"

Wang Xiao poured himself a glass of wine, "If the court wants fifteen times, they will send me away, and they look down on people." When I expanded my production and sold the whole of Chang'an City, I spent my own money to buy land outside the city. ”

Although the Tang Dynasty used the uniform field system at this time, in fact, the field order clearly stipulated that the sale of Yongye fields and mouth fields was allowed, but the limited amount of land could not be exceeded.

Of course, there is always a lot more flexibility when it comes to practical operations.

The degree of flexibility is directly proportional to the amount of money Wang Xiao is willing to pay.

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to stroke his steel needle-like beard. I don't know what kind of thoughts are in my mind.

The eldest grandson Wuji also squinted, but with a smile on his face.

What he thought in his heart was that if Wang Xiao refused to hand over the oil extraction technique to the imperial court, then the eldest grandson family could do it.

The nobles of the Tang Dynasty are not joking.

The Guanlong Military Merit Group occupies a large number of interests by virtue of its military merits, and what they can do is absolutely beyond imagination.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside.

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin sighed lowly.

Soon, someone lifted the curtain of the door and came in, whispering in Li Shimin's ear that there were city fox society rats outside who came to collect protection money to make trouble.

Li Shimin frowned at first, and then stretched out. Whispered to let people in.

Their voices sounded very small, but in fact, they couldn't hide from Wang Xiao's ears.

Wang Xiao also knew Li Shimin's plan, which was to show favor to himself through external pressure, so as to gain benefits for nothing.

"The city fox society rat that collects protection money also dares to come and tease my tiger whiskers?"

Shi is a native of the grassland, and came to Chang'an City with human traffickers and horses many years ago.

After seeing the prosperity here, he never wanted to go back to the desolate grassland, so he stayed in Chang'an City.

He worked as a groom and carried a bag, but in the end he became a gangster with his strong body and bravery.

Shi Du knew that Wang Xiao's shop was very profitable years ago, but he delayed a lot of time in order to find out.

When he confirmed that Wang Xiao didn't have any big backers and wanted to do it, he caught up with the closure of the store during the New Year's Festival.

It wasn't until today that the door was opened again, and Shi Du hurriedly came over with people to collect the money.

Then they were put down at the door.

At the thought of the man staring at him with wolf-like eyes before, Shi Du couldn't help but tremble his legs.

According to the man's instructions, Shi Du cautiously walked into the store with a few of his men.

There are many big men standing in the store, all with sharp eyes and murderous aura. Apparently the same gang as those outside.

He boldly straightened his waist and tried to squeeze out a fierce expression and shouted, "Which is the store?" Come out and speak. ”

Wang Xiao, who was sitting in the chair, looked at him sideways, "I am." If there is something, say it, and let it go if there is a fart. ”

Shi Du crooked his mouth angrily, if he was a strong man who looked around in the past, he could only talk about today's events first.

"Your business in the store is so good, did you pay us the Heroes?"

The Heroes League is one of the major gangs that control West City, and Wang Xiao's shop is within their sphere of influence.

Wang Xiao put down his wine glass and looked at him curiously, "Are you Your Majesty's tax collector?" ”

"Of course not."

Wang Xiao smiled pointedly, "In this world, only His Majesty can collect taxes. What kind of alliance do you want to rob Your Majesty of power? ”

The eyes of Li Shimin, who was about to look at the excitement on the side, immediately changed.

"Nonsense!" Shi Du glared at Wang Xiao viciously, "Don't talk nonsense, pay two hundred yuan to come out." Then hand over the recipe for your secret sauce that makes the dish delicious, or else."

Wang Xiao picked up Li Shimin's chopsticks and threw them out.

'Ah~'

The chopsticks pierced Shi Du's knees like lightning, causing him to fall directly to the ground.

The big men around were shocked and hurriedly surrounded them.

Li Shimin waved his hand and asked everyone to step back, "I really don't see it, you are still a good hand." ”

"It's just a little bit stronger." Wang Xiao shook his head and responded, "This person pretends to be His Majesty's tax collector to collect taxes, and I don't violate the Tang Dynasty law if I teach him a lesson." ”

"It doesn't count." Li Shimin defined this matter.

Wang Xiao's gaze turned to the eldest grandson Wuji, "This brother, I have learned some face-to-face techniques." Look at your Yin Hall is red, and the heavenly court is full. This is a happy event. ”

"Oh?" The eldest grandson Wuji also laughed: "There is indeed an important thing to do." What the store means is, can I do this? ”

"It's more than just done." Wang Xiao shook his head, "You haven't arrived yet, and the matter has been resolved." ”

Wang Xiao is not talking nonsense.

The eldest grandson Wuji went to Youzhou to crusade against the rebellious Luo Yi, who was Luo Cheng's son.

Before his army arrived, Luo Yi's soldiers and horses had already been defeated by internal strife. He himself was killed by his men when he fled to the Turks, and his head was sent to Chang'an City.

"You wait a minute."

Wang Xiao got up and went to the backyard, and after a lot of effort, he took the long-term workers to hold ten jars of sauce

The oil comes out.

"It's always fate to meet in Pingshui, and these sauces will be given to you to keep for when you go out to run errands."

Leaving the wine shop, Li Shimin looked at Shi Du and the others who were dragged to the yamen, and softly ordered, "The city fox society rats in Chang'an City should be cleaned up." In this world, only I can collect taxes. ”

"Your Majesty said yes."

The eldest grandson Wuji responded seriously, and then handed over the nine jars of soy sauce to the guards very interestingly, and only took one jar for himself.

The usefulness of soy sauce, they are already clear.

Whether it's the fragrant sauced beef, or the color and flavor of various dishes, it is an excellent seasoning.

Before leaving, Li Shimin turned his head to look at the small wine shop behind him.

"Shangshi Bureau, it seems that I can't accommodate you."

As business gets better and better, this small shop receives hundreds of customers and takeaway orders every day.

Wang Xiao doesn't feel tired from cooking all day, he regards it as his job.

He didn't sell soy sauce and soybean oil, after all, his business here is so good, these two things are extremely important factors.

The liquor shops in Chang'an City are not fools, and they have also begun to learn to cook stir-fried dishes in iron pots.

It's just that there is a lack of enough seasoning, and the taste is far from being comparable to Wang Xiao's here.

Wang Xiao was waiting, waiting for someone sent by Li Shimin to come to the door.

In fact, the technology of soybean oil extraction has no content at all, it is just pressed by a stone mill.

As long as you open your mind, someone will soon be able to think of it.

Wang Xiao believes that Tang Taizong is a bold person, and he definitely wants the technology of soybean oil extraction, and he will definitely not treat himself badly.

In the palace, when Li Shimin saw a stone of soybeans being ground like a knife and squeezed out of several catties of oil, he already completely believed Wang Xiao's words.

When the eldest grandson Wuji came to the news that Luo Yi's department had broken up and he fled to the Turks. Li Shimin sent someone to bring a reward to Wang Xiao.

"Wu Ju, a miscellaneous servant in the province."

Looking at the smiling eunuch in front of him, Wang Xiao really wanted to complain about your name, which really made people speechless.

"By Your Majesty's will, the miscellaneous family will reward you with the imperial village on the bank of the Weishui River outside the city." Wu Ju handed over the paperwork in his hand, "Your Majesty said, this is your reward for the art of oil extraction." In the future, if there are things that benefit the country and the people, Your Majesty will not be stingy with rewards. ”

Wang Xiao had a surprised expression on his face, "Your Majesty? How does Your Majesty know about me? ”

Wu Ju smiled, left a sentence to go to Huangzhuang as soon as possible to do the handover, and then said goodbye and left.

Looking at the paperwork in his hand, Wang Xiao laughed.

His second industry in Datang is coming.

More than ten miles east of Chang'an City, on the bank of the Bashui River, there is a manor that originally belonged to the royal family, and now it is Wang Xiao's.

This place was originally given to Li Yuanji by Li Yuan before.

However, after the Xuanwu Gate, the people here ran and ran, and there was no one to catch them. When Wang Xiao came over, except for a few old eunuchs who were in charge of guarding, he didn't see anyone at all.

Looking at the desolate fields, Wang Xiao did not have the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Give me a ray of sunshine and I can shine. With the land, Lao Tzu can plant whatever he wants. ”

After completing the handover and leaving several old eunuchs, Wang Xiao wandered around this kind of manor with nearly 2,000 acres for a while.

"You have to recruit people first. No matter how good my health is, I can't do everything by myself. ”

There were slaves in the Tang Dynasty, and the famous Kunlun slaves and Silla maids were.

Wang Xiao went to the yamen, where officials and slaves were traded, and bought hundreds of male servants and maidservants and brought them to the manor.

When I came here, I first gave everyone a meal of mutton steamed buns and meat sandwich buns.

After eating and drinking, each person was given some cloth and copper coins to stimulate enthusiasm, and finally the weeds were removed and cleaned.

The valuable things in the manor were taken away early, and Wang Xiao could only take people to repair the house and buy various daily necessities.

After a few days of busy work, it can be regarded as a complete reorganization and official move-in.

As long as you have enough soybean oil, after all, the imperial court will definitely promote soybean oil on a large scale soon. This business doesn't make money.

So the first thing Wang Xiao did was to continue to expand the production of soy sauce.

If you want to do something, you can't do it without money.

Wang Xiao can't stand in front of the stove to stir-fry all his life, so he plans to rely on selling soy sauce to earn long-term income.

Truckloads of soybeans and salt were brought into the estate, and hundreds of vats were lined up.

The servants added fermented soybean salt and water in proportion to Wang Xiao's professor, sealed it and waited for the soy sauce to come out.

He also bought a batch of aged rice for fermentation, preparing to harvest monosodium glutamate, or monosodium glutamate.

With soy sauce and MSG, coupled with his cooking skills. In the catering industry, no one will be his opponent.

Soybean oil extraction is also continuing, after all, there is also a great demand for oil for so many people.

Moreover, the bean dregs left after oil extraction can also be fed to chickens and pigs, providing meat and eggs.

Watching the bought piglets and chickens running around in the Zhuangzi, Wang Xiao laughed proudly.

Good days are coming.
