The freshly steamed new rago is fragrant.

The tame Silla maid served it to Xu Shibi and others, the dignified founding marquis of Qin, but he really hadn't eaten this kind of thing. This kind of Silla endemic plant, also known as the local melon, is a tuberous stem that is very powdery and waxy. It can be steamed or baked, very delicious, and it is said that it also has good medicinal value, and it has the purpose of warming and replenishing.

"Why didn't I know that Silla still had this kind of thing, but I only knew that Silla had ginseng, gastrodia, bezoar, and Silla maids were more famous."

A person next to him said with a smile, "Ginseng, gastrodia, and bezoars are valuable, and when they are transported to the Central Plains, they can be exchanged for a lot of silver, even if it is a Silla maid, the Silla country is also repeatedly banned, a docile young Silla maidservant can be worth several young and strong Turkic slaves or Goguryeo Linu, and Kunlun slaves are the best goods in the hands of slave traders in Renma City." ”

No matter how delicious this Silla Ge is, it is just a bit of food, even if it can be used medicinally, it is not as precious as ginseng gastrodia, and it is not as valuable as transporting it to a boat, which not only occupies a place but is not valuable, and the Silla people can lose money to their grandmother's house.

As Wei Wei Shaoqing, Xu Shibi has never eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas? His family was a famous landowner in Henan in the Sui Dynasty, with 10,000 acres of fertile land and thousands of servants. His eldest brother is Xu Shiji, and now he guards Anton, and he is the prince of the country.

"If you want to say that you will enjoy it, I think these Silla people will enjoy it, you see that the three surnames and six nobles, why are the holy bones really bones, and those days are called Meizizi. All of them are silk and satin, grease and powder, which one is not a big garden, a high-rise pavilion, at a glance, I thought it was a wealthy family in Chang'an or Luoyang City. ”

"Shaoqing, this can't be compared, although these Silla nobles are drunk and dreaming of death, but you look at the outer city of this chicken forest, but it is dirty, messy and broken, the nobles are indeed drunk and dreaming of death, but the people below are poorly clothed, how many beggars, this is still the capital, and other places, I don't know what it is like to be poor."

Xu Shibi smiled, "The Silla bone product system is deeply rooted, which of those royal nobles is willing to let go?" ”

"I heard that Silla is also very chaotic now, there are always rebellions every once in a while, there are both rebellions of the nobles for the throne, there are also grievances and vendetta of the noble families, and even the local people can't survive and rebel, although they are all small fights, but it also shows that it is indeed very unstable, now my Daqin and Silla trade is prosperous, the nobles are more and more oppressing the small people in order to enjoy, and now the coastal islands, there are pirates everywhere, and they can't survive and flee to the sea."

Xu Shibi finished eating a new Luoge, and he was still a little unsatisfied.

"Bring another one." He said to the Silla maid who was standing in the distance.

Sure enough, the Silla maid immediately brought another one.

"Do you understand Chinese?"

The handmaid nodded.

Xu Shibi turned his head to look at a few companions, and everyone understood.

"Okay, you stand down, you can't come in without a call."

The handmaid immediately withdrew.

"Looks like you have to be careful when you speak."

"Shaoqing, it seems that the king of Silla is very reluctant to marry the princess, what should I do?"

"The main thing is that the national immortal Jin Luxian, who is a stalk from it!"

"Why is Jin Luxin so opposed? I heard that the king wanted him to marry Princess Deman and pass on the throne to him in the future. ”

Today in the palace, although Xu Shibi's words shocked the king of Silla, in the end, the king of Silla did not agree to send the princess to Qin.

Obviously, this old man, who has been a king for more than forty years, has a deep city.

"I am willing to put the sword down my waist and cut Loulan directly." A subordinate official said, "Either we can also learn from the Han envoy, find an opportunity to kill Jin Baijing, and then set up another obedient king." ”

These words woke up Xu Shibi, and there may be a way to break the deadlock.

Jin Luxin received a letter from a Silla maidservant sent by the Qin envoy, saying that he was going to come to visit him.

"Hmph, a group of wolf ambitions, don't have a good heart, don't see."

A steward in the palace persuaded, "Although the Qin people are ambitious, don't offend." ”

"Yes, although the Qin people are evil, if we offend the Qin envoys, it will be difficult for our family to trade with the Qin people in the future." As the top of Silla, the three surnames and six tribes are also the most active in the Qinluo trade today, through trade, these people can make a lot of money, and then purchase all kinds of silk silk, spices and frosting, ingenious gold and silver utensils, and even the exquisite armor and sword.

"Okay, send someone to reply, and say I'll invite you to a banquet tonight."

One of the stewards immediately said, "When the time comes, we can talk to the Qin people about the deal, I heard that the Qin people have brought a lot of good things, if we can eat this batch of goods from them, we will definitely make a lot of money." ”

The stewards of the Jin family are even already discussing what to trade for the good things in the hands of the Qin envoys, such as gastrodia bezoar ginseng, which are now not as rare as before in the Qin people, and the price has dropped a lot. However, gold, silver, and copper ingots, as well as slaves, are quite popular, especially tame maids, who are more valuable.

However, slaves are not easy to get, especially the docile young slaves, I don't know how many Silla maids have to be sold every year over the years, and now Silla maids are also very valuable in Silla.

"Let those who can't pay their rent and can't pay off their debts use their daughters to pay off their debts!" Jin Luxin said. Although he is a national immortal who has won the trust of the king, he is actually no different from the other nobles with three surnames and six tribes, in their eyes, those low-boned ordinary people are nothing at all.

These people are not much different from cattle and horses, they are all in the service of the nobles.

It gets dark down.

Xu Shibi came to Jin Luxin's mansion with dozens of guards, and Jin Luxin personally greeted him.

As soon as they met, Xu Shibi first asked people to send a box of gifts.

When it was opened, the eyes of the people in the Jin Mansion widened, and they saw that it was filled with crystal clear rock sugar, which was a good thing that was much more advanced than frost sugar, and this thing was very expensive, even in Luoyang Chang'an in the Central Plains, the price was extremely expensive. If it is shipped to Silla, it is even more amazing.

A small piece of rock candy, that's the equivalent of silver.

Although this thing is just sugar, it is not sweeter than frosted sugar, and it is not better than honey caramel candy, but it is rare, good-looking, and precious, so it is highly sought after by nobles.

It was a very precious thing in the Central Plains, so the Silla nobles naturally preferred it.

The more expensive the better, the more expensive the more high-end and tasteful, in order to match the noble status of their holy bones.

Jin Luxin, who was originally very dissatisfied with Xu Shibi, looked at the rock candy in the box, although the box outside was large, the inside was lined with various silks, and the small wooden lattice was separated, etc., and the final rock candy was estimated to be about ten catties, but this thing couldn't be bought with money in Silla.

Ten catties of silver is only more than 200 yuan, but it is rare and expensive, and in Jilin, more than 200 yuan can not be compared with these ten catties of rock sugar.

A bright smile suddenly appeared on Jin Luxin's face.

"Venerable Founding Marquis of Wu'an, please!"

Xu Shibi scolded the turtle in his heart, and then entered the Jin Mansion with a smile.

Rock candy is really rare, in the early years, even the yellowed frosting candy sold by Tianzhu was sold in Luoyang Chang'an as a treasure, but in recent years, the Royal Sugar Bureau began to produce and supply more snow-white frosting sugar, but also brown sugar that tastes very good, of course, there are fewer rock sugars.

No one knows how the royal family made such white frosted candy, and how they can make it as beautiful as a jewel.

As soon as the royal frosting candy came out, no one bought the yellowing frosting candy produced in Tianzhu anymore. Originally, frosting was only used by the aristocracy, and ordinary people could not afford it.

Now there are better ones, how can the nobles be willing to use the bad ones.

So although the royal frost sugar is more expensive, but it is sought after by the aristocracy, Tianzhu frost sugar is no one cares, those Hu merchants have to vomit blood to reduce the price, but the price reduction is much more expensive than the ordinary caramel sugar, so it can only be lowered again and again, and finally it can not be sold, and finally it was accepted by the royal sugar factory to make raw materials, after refining, it has become a sought-after frost rock candy that everyone is after.

Those Hu merchants who originally sold Tianzhu frosted candy to sell vomited blood at a loss, but these people were also fine, and when they saw that Qin sugar was so good, they hurriedly bought a batch of Qin frost candy and rock candy, and returned the same way, ready to sell it to Tianzhu again.

In the past two years, the Royal Sugar Factory began to promote sugarcane cultivation in a large number of provinces in Lingnan, Yunnan and Qianzhong, directly signed purchase contracts with those people, and even provided seedlings and technical guidance and gave deposits.

Because sugarcane cultivation is relatively less demanding on land and the yield is okay, many people are willing to use the mountainous slopes that cannot grow grain to grow sugarcane, even if the yield is lower, but still greatly increase their income.

The sugarcane they grow is purchased from the local sugar mill by their own sugar factory, and then transported to a large sugar factory with convenient transportation after the juice is rough, and finally made into frosted sugar, rock sugar and other products for sale, and the less popular sugar is made into brown sugar and brown sugar.

The sugar mills were producing more and more sugarcane, but thanks to the Royal Trade Office, the price fell sharply due to the increase in production, because a large amount of sugar, especially high-quality goods such as frosting and rock sugar, were given priority to foreign trade.

Many of the slaves sold to the Central Plains by Silla, in addition to the tame Silla maidservants, many of the stout men and women in general were sent to the sugar cane plantations to grow sugar cane and cut sugar cane.

The sugar cane they had worked so hard to grow turned into rock frosting and returned to Silla, worth a hundred times.

Jin Luxin held the ten catties of rock candy, and his eyes lit up.

His attitude changed greatly, he was very diligent, and he kept saying that he wanted to buy more rock candy and so on, Xu Shibi smiled and responded.

When you arrive at the hall, a banquet is set up.

Jin Luxin raised his glass again and again to toast, and soon became drunk.

"Guoxian, I still have a treasure here, I wonder if Guoxian is interested in taking a look?"

Jin Luxin said drunkly, "I don't know what kind of treasure it is?" ”

He came over, but Xu Shibi, who was sitting there, directly pulled out his waist knife and stabbed Jin Luxin in the heart.

Although Jin Luxin was a master of swordsmanship, he didn't expect that the Qin envoy would kill the killer at this time.
