"Let me introduce, my surname is Li, my single name is a change character, and there is a Zhuangzi ......"

After eating and resting for a while, Li Yi found eleven people and introduced himself.

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, the person in charge of the method of selling pepper directly answered: "On the east bank of Bashui in the east of Chang'an City, we know the proprietor Li. ”

"What about you?" Li Yi only asks one person, others don't ask, there are too many to remember.

"Wei Yuefeng, my name is Wei Yuefeng. Tanzhou, Jiangnan West Road, there is a big river in front of the house......"

"It's called Xiangshui." Li Yi also interrupted the other party once.

"Yes, there's another river......"

"Liuyang water." Li Yi knew where it was, and if he went north, he would go to Dongting Lake, which was now a very remote place.

The local economic conditions are not good, and the people's lives are not easy.

"Li Dongzhu is really powerful." Wei Yuefeng nodded vigorously, look, this is Li Dongzhu, he is knowledgeable, and he knows the river everywhere he wants.

"How did the thing come about?" Li Yi didn't accept this flattery.

"Five years ago, there was a big flood, the house was washed away, the living people ran away, they couldn't pay the rent, they had to sell the land if they kept it, and no one bought ......"

Wei Yuefeng talked about his experience, Xiangshui is not ordinary, and he can't sell his land if he owes rent.

A group of them ran south and ran to Guangzhou.

At first, he helped to carry things at the wharf, and then with a little money, he bought goods from Waifan and shipped them to other places to sell.

I was deceived this year, and I said that the good ones were all peppercorns, the price was cheap, and I saw the goods.

As a result, I don't know what happened, and when all the five hundred pepper goods were delivered, the ship left, and I found that there was something that was not pepper.

Like green onion seeds, green onion seeds and pepper are not the same price.

They were deceived, they couldn't find anyone, and the money was all in, so they brought things to Chang'an, which had a large demand for pepper.

The year is on the road, a total of 50 people, carrying the burden to walk, so that the road from Guangzhou to Chang'an is being repaired in various places.

Especially in Da Yuling, the road is well repaired, long and wide.

When you wait for Chang'an, the goods are not easy to sell, unless the price is reduced, otherwise everyone will not accept it, and it will be sold sporadically until when.

They came up with a way to grind it into flour and sell it as a powder, mixed with green onion seeds.

They saw something with grinding noodles, and this thing was good, suitable for powdering.

So they gave money to a family in Juxian County and asked the other party to help rent a hand-cranked flour grinder.

After processing for a few days, I saved a batch and prepared to sell it next to Chang'an City.

People here are relatively rich, and they won't meet connoisseurs, so theoretically they won't meet them.

"We felt that the green onion seeds could not be eaten, so they could be used as seasonings, and they were mixed together to sell the peppers.

Even if you sell 200 taels and lose 300 threads, at least there is still a chance.

I didn't think about it, just sold three pockets, and it was ...... Just ......"

Wei Yuefeng raised his hand to wipe his eyes as he spoke, and tears came down.

"The people of Fan know that that thing is different from green onions, but when they go to Guangzhou Port, others say that they are green onion seeds, don't want it.

Then I met you, and I deceived you for the last time, and there were many tricks, and you thought you had bought a cheap one, so you were negligent.

Your behavior is indeed adulterated, eh...... I forgive you for not causing any bad consequences. ”

Li Yi really didn't want to send these people to the official, and if he sent them to the official, he confiscated them, and he was beaten with a spinal cane, and he gave each person sixty strokes.

According to the law, it should be like this, and the other party has fifty people, and this life is over.

"Thank you, proprietor Li, you are very kind, we will not dare in the future." Wei Yuefeng wiped his tears, and the others wiped them together.

If you think about it, you're afraid, your belongings are gone, and you're beaten and recuperate, how do you live?

"I guess you can't remember each other's appearance, I'll write a letter, you go back to Guangzhou and hand it over to Zhang Jiuling, who is now in charge of the Guangzhou City Division.

They are all merchants, as well as local merchants, they know about this kind of green onion seeds, ask them, and next time they will be punished to death.

By the way, I'll bring you soap, soap, toilet water, and a couple of small mirrors in delicate packaging.

You help me sell, I set the price, sell according to the price, you get a profit, and the money you sell above the price is divided fifty-fifty. ”

Li Yi didn't want his people to suffer this loss, and in the future, unless those people didn't come, he would be arrested.

By the way, he wants to open up the links of trade in the open sea, and the farthest place will go to the Strait of Hormuz, otherwise where will the onion seeds come from.

"Don't, don't, we'll help you sell, and the money you make is all yours." Wei Yuefeng hurriedly shook his head.

The other ten people nodded, feeling that Li Yi was very kind, and he was really the prime minister's belly and convincing people with virtue.

"Don't do it, do as I say, you go outside to live in a tent at night, send you a honeycomb coal stove, remember not to get carbon poison."

Li Yi settled the matter, did not give benefits to others, people helped once, and they could always help in the future?

"We are not afraid of the cold, and there is no kang in Jingzhao Mansion in winter, and now it is spring, and it is not cold." Wei Yuefeng was worried that Li Yi would spend more money.

"Yes, alas!" Li Yi sighed.

When there was no heating in Changsha, Hunan at that time, the temperature was ......

Interestingly, in the northeast, the house is about 10 degrees above zero, and the heating is not good, it is too cold, and you have to fight.

In many places to the south, I thought it was cold in the northeast, but later I realized that the house was much warmer than my own house in winter.

In the case of temperatures around zero, southerners are powerful and used to it.

What is the situation in the north, below minus 30 degrees, outdoor labor can be carried out.

If you freeze your feet, you will stomp your feet, if you freeze your hands, you will stretch your hands into your arms, and if you freeze your ears, you will cover your hands, and your face will not matter.

However, there are many people who get sick in the south in winter, and then they slowly give heating, those who don't have their own air conditioning, and some buy small suns.

There are earthen stoves in the village, and everyone is not stupid.

"Third brother, coal should be popularized, especially the stove of honeycomb coal, except for the area to the south, other locations are also difficult to endure in winter."

Li Yi turned his head to look at Li Longji, who had been listening and watching.

"In the past, Chang'an got up early in the morning, and it was accompanied by crying." Li Longji thought of the former Chang'an.

"I can provide some coal mine sites in various places, some are open pit mines, and some need to dig down.

If it is easy to transport, it can be directly transported to the open-pit mine. With the current usage, it can be used for countless years. ”

Li Yi doesn't care about digging out the coal mine inside Datang, if you can dig up the open-pit mine, then you are amazing.

"Brother Yi, you don't want anything in return." Li Longji sighed that if many people have a mine that they know, they have to dig it secretly.

Wei Yuefeng and the others looked at Li Longji, Brother Yi? The......

"This matter is decided, go rest, or go out for a walk, and remember not to let the woman rush ahead next time." Li Yi expressed his dissatisfaction.

"We don't want to, but we can't compare to her, like this time she came up with the idea of selling pepper." Wei Yuefeng expressed helplessness.

What's wrong with the girl? Terrible.

"Yes, Wu Zetian is more powerful. The surname Wu actually has great skills, such as Wu Jieyu in the palace, if one is not careful, he may become another Wu Zetian. ”

Li Yi smiled and nodded, and said directly about the people in the palace

Wei Yuefeng and the others: "......"
