Chapter 489: Attracting the Attention of the Capital

Gypsum powder, alkaline noodles, vegetables, these all make Li Yu make a lot of money.

When he started selling vegetables, he had almost enough money to build a welfare home for refugees and so on.

Therefore, in the following days, Li Yu was not busy with anything else, and built a welfare home in Shuozhou City, and at the same time, he also allocated a batch of money to Huang Liang in Yingzhou, so that he could also build a welfare home in Yingzhou.

And just when Li Yu was doing this, the merger of the capital and the state was another situation.

The weather in Bingzhou is also cold, but it is not as cold as Shuozhou.

In the palace, Li Shimin was reviewing the folds in the imperial study, and he was almost fifty years old, and he looked much older than his age at the time.

Since he ascended the throne at the age of twenty, he has been constantly conquest, constantly fighting with the ministers of the court and the central government, and the wealthy family, although this kind of life is very exciting, but at the same time it is also accelerating his aging.

Winter is coming, the Turkic, Qi, and Liang countries are not at peace, and news from the border gates is frequently sent, and now he does not dare to slack off for a moment.

In such an era of many countries, if you don't want to be destroyed, you must work hard, Li Shimin doesn't feel that he has done a good job, but it is by no means the worst.

At least over the years, he has wiped out many small countries in the surrounding areas, making him a country that cannot be underestimated among the northern countries.

There were a lot of folds, and the thick bamboo slips were heavy and frozen when he picked them up, and when he finished reading them, it was already a long time past noon.

The eunuch who was serving next to him saw Li Shimin stop, and hurriedly trotted to the imperial dining room, and after a while, brought a few kinds of food.

"Holy Lord, let's eat."

Being reminded by the eunuch like this, Li Shimin was really a little hungry, he put his hand on the fire to warm up, looked up at the food, and saw that there were a few green vegetables in the meal, and he immediately felt happy, and in addition to the green vegetables, there was also a food that he had never seen before.

He picked up his chopsticks and put one in his mouth.

The food tasted a little bouncy, and it was very fragrant and tender, it was food he had never eaten before, and because it was fresh, he couldn't help but eat a few more bites, and then he ate a little greens.

After eating like this, he asked, "Did the greens come from the south, but I remember that the southern countries were fighting at this time, and the merchants had already come to our side, and what was this thing?" ”

Seeing that Li Shimin liked it, the eunuch hurriedly explained, "Shengshang, the green vegetables are transported from Shuozhou, and this dish is made of tofu, and it is also transported from Shuozhou." ”

"Shuozhou?" Li Shimin thought for a moment: "Isn't that Yu'er's fiefdom?" ”

The eunuch said, "It's really the fief of King Yongde, I heard that these vegetables and tofu were invented by King Yongde, and then taught them to those merchants in Shuozhou, so that these things can be sold in the capital." ”

"Yu'er invented it?" Li Shimin was shocked, even a little disbelieving.

He still knows this son of himself, when he was the prince in the past, he was not good, he didn't do anything serious all day long, he could grow vegetables in winter, what kind of tofu could he invent?

But this kind of thing obviously can't be faked.

Li Yu felt very strange, but this kind of thought was just a flash, he had a lot of princes, and a waste prince really made him not worry much, not to mention that he didn't like this prince very much all the time.

If it weren't for Empress Cui, he wouldn't care about this prince even more.

"These two things are good, let the palace prepare more."

The eunuch hurriedly bowed his head and responded, but he thought in his heart, next time he gave the steamed buns and buns to the saint to eat, he was afraid that he would like it more, right?

Wing King's Mansion.

The tofu and vegetables in the capital, and the procurement of the Yiwang Mansion have also been bought.

After eating tofu and green vegetables, Li Shang, the king of wings, was also shocked.

"I really didn't expect that the capital would be able to eat green vegetables in winter, and this tofu is also delicious, where did these things come from?"

The procurement office hurriedly replied, "Lord, these are all transported from Shuozhou, and only a few palaces in the capital can afford it." ”

There are actually not many princes and princes who stay in the capital, and the two princes who stay in the capital, Li Shang, the winged king, and Li Qing, the green king, are the two most favored among the princes who stayed in the capital.

However, hearing that the greens and tofu were from Shuozhou, Li Shang's brows suddenly condensed slightly, although Shuozhou was Li Yu's fiefdom, it was the Lu family who was attached to him who actually controlled it, why didn't the Lu family tell him about it?

"Who made this thing, Shuozhou is colder than the capital."

"I heard that it was a green vegetable grown by King Yongde, and this tofu was also invented by King Yongde."

Hearing that it was Li Yu, the Wing King Li Shang was shocked, he originally thought that Li Yu was already a waste, but he didn't expect that after going to Shuozhou, he would be able to invent these.

If his father knows about this, what if his father changes his mind?

Li Shang's eyes condensed slightly, and a killing intent suddenly came out.

----------------------------

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the wax moon.

The city of Shuozhou in Layue is surprisingly cold, but this year's Shuozhou is much more lively than before, and the people are much more excited than ever.

Because the first welfare home in Shuozhou was finally built.

The welfare home covers an area of more than 20 acres, with 200 rooms, enough to accommodate thousands of people, and the welfare home is also equipped with a kitchen, etc., people who can't survive the winter can check in here as long as they echo the requirements, until the next spring, when the weather warms up and leaves.

Of course, after these people move in, they don't say that they don't do anything, they also have to do some manual work, such as sewing clothes, going to the fields to weed and grow vegetables, cooking for themselves, and so on.

In other words, the welfare homes provide shelter and food, and they still have to work themselves, not to stretch out their hands and eat to open their mouths.

But these are not big or bad for the refugees, and they are satisfied with having a place to live and eat in the cold winter.

After the welfare institute was put in, the palace finally quieted down, and Li Yu's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that the refugees have been settled, but the system has not prompted the completion of the task, which makes Li Yu very puzzled.

He has already sent someone to Yingzhou to inquire, Huang Liang has already moved all the refugees in Yingzhou to the welfare home in Yingzhou, there is no one in the two states who can't survive this winter, but why hasn't the task been completed?

"Could it be that the problem is at the wrong level?" The Bitou Pass is sparsely populated, and there are basically no residents, so Li Yu didn't put the Bitou Pass in the main position before, but now that the task is not prompted to be completed, the problem must be in the Bitou Pass.

"Do you want to go to the Ecstasis?"
