"I'm afraid the more than one million catties of sun-dried spices are not enough to sell!"

After dawn, as soon as the door of the household was opened, the people in line immediately packed the room, and they kept waving the silver ticket of Zhenguan Qianzhuang in their hands.

"Yes, the price of five pounds is really cost-effective!"

Dai Xuan and several officials from the household department were watching this scene from the sidelines.

"It is estimated that these merchants are planning to stock up a little more, and then sell it slowly when the price is high in the future!"

One of the officials said with a smile.

"Think beautifully, such a large batch of spices is shipped back, there must be a lot of nobles studying how to go to the South Seas, and when they bring back another batch, this price can't even reach Wuguan, besides, what are the eldest grandsons Wuji doing when they open a shipyard in Jiangnan? Isn't it just to find spices? ”

No one knows more about the economic trends in the DPRK and China than Dai Guan.

"In this way, the price of this spice will not only not rise, but will fall?"

"Of course, however, the lower the price of this spice, the more the people can afford to use it, which will only increase the demand for spices, and there will still be a large number of merchants looking for spices, so that the tax revenue of the imperial court will also be large, so Your Majesty has ordered us to establish a customs office to be responsible for overseas tax issues!"

Thinking that there will be a large amount of overseas tax revenue in the future, Dai Guan's mood is really a little excited.

"Dai Shangshu, the order outside is a little uncontrollable!"

At this moment, an unkempt steward with his official uniform torn walked in and reported in a panic.

The people outside were already fighting for positions, and it was the young man who was deceived last night and the strong man who were fighting.

The young man's family, unable to find the man with the sharp beak and cheeks of the previous night, assumed that the strong man was with them, and after the quarrel, the two sides started to fight.

"Go to the Chang'an Yamen to transfer some guards over, and tell the people outside that if they don't stop, they will be disqualified from buying spices!"

Dai Xuan said with a smile.

Although there was already a fight outside, it was also because the spices were too sought-after, which was indeed a good thing for him!

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the steward sent someone to move the rescue soldiers from the side door, while he himself went out to convey Shangshu's order.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, all the two sides stopped.

……

"Dai Guanfa Feige passed a book, saying that spices are in short supply, except for the 100,000 catties left in advance, they have all been sold out!"

Li Er called Zhao Yin, Changsun Wuji and others together and announced the good news.

As for the 100,000 catties left, it was proposed by Zhao Yin.

Because he had already guessed that as soon as this price was shouted, the people who came to buy it must be merchants, and ordinary people couldn't buy it at all.

Therefore, I deliberately left 100,000 catties and sold them in the store to ordinary people!

"With such a large sum of money all at once, this old man should be very happy!"

The eldest grandson Wuji said sneeringly.

"The profit of this spice is really considerable, if it weren't for the war against the Japanese Kingdom, I would have sent more navies to the South Seas to pick spices!"

The reason why they built steamships was to conquer the Japanese kingdom, and spices were just a matter of convenience.

When the shipyard builds the next batch of ships, it will be able to wave the army immediately!

Wu Changxu is now in charge of the navy, and since he came back, he has not been idle, constantly expanding the navy, and strengthening the training of those recruits.

"Tubo has now been pacified, Your Majesty might as well call the Duke of Hubei back!"

If the war is conquered, the Tang Dynasty will definitely increase the number of its navy, and these people can only be drawn from the existing army.

In this way, the number of people in the large ** team will be reduced, so Zhao Yin suggested that the troops on the plateau be transferred back.

"Well, I'll order someone to send them a flying pigeon later!"

Li Er nodded approvingly.

If the army stays there again, not only will the soldiers of the army be homesick, but the logistics supply will also consume a huge amount!

……

At the Zen Ceremony, Li Er began the cumbersome ritual of sacrificing heaven and earth.

After the ceremony, he began to boast about himself.

I have pacified the northern frontier countries!

I have destroyed Tuyuhun and Tibet!

I'm ready to conquer the kingdoms of the Western Regions!

I let the Tang Dynasty and the people live and work in peace and contentment!

……

All this he said was not only for God, but also for his own peace of mind.

After all, killing his brother is a thorn in his heart!

After the sacrificial ceremony was completed, Li Er ordered a large feast to celebrate the complete success of the ceremony.

At the banquet, many officials were drunk, so Li Er ordered to rest for two more days before setting off.

But they are not going back to Chang'an, but to Laizhou!

is about to conquer the Wa Kingdom, and Li Er plans to take this opportunity to go to the Laizhou Navy Branch to have a look.

After all, it's not easy for him to come out once!

"The people of the world envy me, saying that I have no worries about food and clothing, and I have supreme rights, but they don't know that this great Chang'an City is like a cage, and you can't go anywhere if you are imprisoned!"

On the way to Laizhou, Li Er looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance, and felt a little melancholy in his heart.

And this remark was secretly looked at by many people.

It's as if the ministers in his hands can go wherever they want!

Aren't they also tired and cautious, and they can't go anywhere!

Unless you resign!

And those people, they can't even eat, let alone enjoy the mountains and rivers!

Unless begging!

"If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight, Your Majesty is the pride of the sky, and you must think about the people!"

Although Zhao Yin also rolled his eyes, he couldn't say it clearly.

"Well, it's hard to come out this time, I'm going to have a good trip!"

Li Er nodded.

Although Wei Zheng beside him wanted to dissuade him, seeing Li Er's joy, he held back his words!

Laizhou is not far from Mount Tai, Li Er walked all the way and stopped, and arrived in Laizhou in about ten days.

"Are all the supplies for the war against the Japanese kingdom ready?"

After arriving at the Navy Branch, Li Er remembered one of the most important things.

From the day the steamship was built, he had ordered the preparation of war supplies, and now several months have passed.

"We have prepared enough supplies for the 150,000 army for five months, but in order to ensure everything, the minister is still collecting food from the official warehouses in various places, and has purchased a lot from the people, and when the time we set off, it will be enough for the army to eat for a year!"

Cen Wenwen beside him opened his mouth to report.

Preparing supplies was originally Dai Guan's business, but this old man was a worrying life, and there were too many things at hand, so he handed over this matter to Cen Wenwen!

The current Datang is full of treasury, even if it is a war, it will never loot a penny from the people, even if the grain and grass are not enough, it is to buy the surplus grain in the hands of the people at the market price.

Therefore, fighting a war is not only not a bad thing for the people, but also a good thing!

Because the war consumes a lot, they have room to make money!

"Take me to see!"

If he didn't see it with his own eyes, Li Er was not at ease after all.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the steward of the naval branch arched his hand and took the lead in the front.

Although these materials were raised by Cen Wenwen, he himself did not go to Laizhou, so he only knew the quantity, but did not know where to store them!
