Chapter 477: The Four Great Families of the Tang Dynasty

"Lord Wang, there are more than a dozen large and small wealthy families in your fiefdom, but there are three of them are the largest, they are the Zhou family, the Fan family and the Lu family, among which the Zhou family and the Fan family are very old local wealthy families, and they have lived in this land for hundreds of years, and the Lu family is a branch of the Lu family, but don't look at it as just a branch, but it is also the largest wealthy family in the prince's fief."

The four wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty, any one of the wealthy families will throw off other wealthy families several streets, and these wealthy families have many branches in other places in addition to the clans in the capital, helping them run businesses in various places or some political regimes and so on.

Li Yu didn't care about this, and asked, "These wealthy families must have money, pass on the king's order, let them send money to the king, and the king will save these people." ”

After saying this, Cui Tong and Li Mochou almost sprayed rice.

"Lord Wang, you look at these wealthy families too simply, they won't give you money, or even some taxes, they can steal if they can." Li Mochou reminded beside him.

Cui Tong said again, "Yes, Lord Wang, these wealthy families, even if they are not from the four wealthy families, they rarely take the people of the royal family seriously, how can they give you money for nothing, it is already very good to pay us a little tax every year." ”

"Are they so bold?"

"But no, our Datang has relied on the Hao clan to grow up to now, without them there would be no Datang, and they often collude together, if you move one of them, you will move all the Hao clans, if you don't want Datang to be in turmoil, it's best not to provoke these Hao clans."

Li Yu somewhat understands his situation, although he is the prince of Shuozhou, but in his fiefdom, he is not doing whatever he wants.

At least in front of those wealthy families, they can't do whatever they want.

It seems that if you want to make money, you have to think of other ways.

However, Tang Yu is not very worried, he has so much knowledge in the later generations, and he also has an Imperial Map Hegemony System Mall, just think of an idea, he should be able to make a lot of money, right?

Thinking so, Li Yu said, "The king has his own way to deal with money, you just have to do what the king says, and you must not let people freeze to death or starve to death anymore." ”

Seeing Li Yu say this, Cui Tong did not hesitate, and hurriedly took the people from the palace to look for those homeless people, and after Cui Tong left, Li Yu began to think about how to make money.

Those wealthy families refuse to give money, so it's okay to earn their money, right?

He's so smart, it's not easy to make money?

The first way he thought of making money was a vegetable greenhouse.

According to what he knows, Shuozhou is too far north, it is very cold in winter, and you can't eat a little vegetable all winter, you can only eat meat, and many people who eat meat are particularly greasy, of course, it is already very good to be able to eat meat, and many people can only eat some pickles.

In winter, vegetables are much more expensive than meat.

If you can grow vegetables through the vegetable greenhouse, it will be great, but although the vegetable greenhouse is good, the vegetables should grow for at least half a month.

They won't last half a month.

So, vegetable greenhouses can be done, but in addition, you must also think of a way to make money quickly.

It's just that in addition to the vegetable greenhouse, it's really a bit difficult for him to think like this.

And at this time, a maid walked towards the stable with a frame, Li Yu was curious, and asked, "What's in there?" ”

The maid was startled, and hurriedly responded, "Lord Wang, it's beans." ”

"Beans?"

"Feed the beans to the horses, and the horses eat fat."

Hearing this, Li Yu was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted, "Yes, yes, why did you forget the beans, that's it." ”

Li Yu was overjoyed, but the maid was completely stunned, what's wrong with the beans, why did he make his prince so happy?

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and pick up the best beans for this king, this king will make good things."

The maid didn't understand what was wrong with Li Yu at all, but she didn't dare to disobey the order, so she hurriedly ran away.

After the maid left, Li Yu slowly calmed down.

He's going to make tofu out of beans.

Tofu was invented in his time and space during the Han Dynasty, but as far as she knew, there was no tofu in her plane, and soybeans were a relatively cheap crop that could only be used to feed horses.

If he made tofu, those wealthy businessmen would like it very much, right?

Tofu is a thing that can be eaten in a variety of ways, and it is very refreshing, so it is suitable for all ages.

Thinking in his heart, Li Yu went directly to the noodle grinding room, there was a large grinding disc here, and he felt that if it was used to grind tofu, it should also be possible.

With a grinding disc, if you want to grind tofu, you can't grind it, you have to have gypsum.

There is no such thing as gypsum in this time and space, or there is natural gypsum, but gypsum that can be used to grind tofu needs to be refined.

Li Yu thought about it carefully, but he couldn't think of how to refine the gypsum that could grind tofu.

In the end, there was no choice but to open the Huangtu Tyrant Mall and find the skill of refining gypsum.

After finding it, he first glanced at the price, he only had 100 gold coins, and he originally wanted to save enough 5,000 to buy the Holy Yang pill, but now he was asked to spend 1 gold coin, and he also felt distressed.

After reading it, he found that the skill of refining gypsum required 10 gold coins, and he suddenly felt that his heart was about to bleed.

It's a lot of money, when will I be able to save 5,000 gold coins?

However, for the sake of the people of Shuozhou, Li Yu could only grit his teeth and buy it ruthlessly.

After clicking to buy, the skill immediately appeared in his mind, as if he was already very proficient, which made him a lot satisfied with the system, if he had to spend money and learn slowly, it would be a pit.

After buying the skill of refining gypsum, he simply bought a film of 10 gold coins for the cultivation of greenhouse vegetables, after all, there is no such film that can transmit light and heat preservation, and it is not easy to grow vegetables in winter.

After spending 20 gold coins, Li Yu began to refine gypsum, with skills, refining gypsum became very simple and easy, this afternoon, he refined dozens of catties of gypsum.

After the gypsum was refined, the maid picked it up and brought the beans that had been soaked for an afternoon, Li Mochou had always been very curious about what Li Yu was going to do, so he watched from the side, and helped a little from time to time.

Li Yu put the beans into the grinding disc and began to grind, adding water when grinding, and soon grinding out the soy milk, after the soy milk was ground out, it was filtered.

Put the filtered soy milk into the pot and boil, and when it boils, add gypsum powder to it and wait for the soymilk to solidify.

By the time this was done, it was already getting late, and the snow in Shuozhou didn't know when it would stop.

"Lord Wang, what is this?" After the soy milk solidifies, it is squeezed to form a lump of tofu, which is very elastic and has beautiful white flowers.

"It's called tofu, you try one." Li Yu cut a small piece and handed it to Li Mochou, Li Mochou took a bite gently, feeling that the tofu was very refreshing after eating, and after chewing for a long time, the fragrance of the beans would spread in the mouth again.
