Chapter Eighty-Six: Vicious Competition

Li De asked Yuwenshu to hurry up and build enough houses, and strive to let the Han slaves live in a month, the houses should not be built at one time, but the houses that were placed in place should be built in one step, and once the Lantian New City is completed, these Han slaves will all be assigned to Lantian to settle down, Li De wants to let the Han slaves return to their hearts and build their own homes by themselves, so that I don't believe that these Han slaves can not find back the dignity of being Han people. As for those Turkic captives, it is not so good, in addition to helping to build Lantian New Town, but also to open up a straight road, widen the existing roads connecting Chang'an, Luoyang, Youzhou, Shandong and other places, not only in order to strengthen local ties, but also to make economic exchanges more prosperous, Li De will speed up the development of Datang's workshop economy by connecting the north and south, and he will take the lead in stimulating the development of the commodity economy, so that Datang can prosper forever. Don't keep staring at that one-third of an acre of land, just how much wealth can be dug out if you work hard. As future generations, of course, we know that the economy is all about interconnectedness.

As the county order of Lantian, since receiving the text of the political hall, he has been making preparations, His Majesty will take Lantian as the fief of His Royal Highness King Wei, he will have to look at the face of the prince after this county order, it can be said that Lantian has become a country of its own since then, in addition to paying taxes to the court on time, everything in Lantian is Wei Wang's. He should take the lead of King Wei, otherwise Li De can let him get out of the way in minutes. In response to Li De's request, Han Tong volunteered to take Li De to inspect the land.

"Lord Wang, you see that this is all your manor, there are more than 100 tenants, and there is a Weishui tributary flowing through the rear of the manor, and there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. Lord, see if you can build your palace next to the tributaries. It's a good place to be next to the mountains and water. ”

Li De saw that Han Tong was doing well, nodded and said, "Han County Ling has a heart, I am very satisfied." I'll let Mr. Yuwen take care of it. ”

Lantian's affairs have been almost arranged, and Yuwenshu also asked to stay in the county government for the convenience of work, Li De was very satisfied when he saw that he was so attentive to work, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered Tong Qing to prepare a large number of materials and send them to the county government as soon as possible. Li De went back to Chang'an.

Back to Chang'an Palace, wash away the dust stained on the way, hold Tia to do a lot of indescribable exercises, rest and rest, two days later Li De will go to the camp, the army has been on vacation and is about to end, start the new year's recruitment, training, the reduction of the Beiwei army is almost more than half, this time Li Shimin will expand the scale of the Beiwei army to 10,000 people and the 16 Wei army unified formation.

Early the next morning

Li De woke up and felt the slippery soft elasticity on his hands, playful, kept kneading and caressing, and gently pinched the pink bud, and woke up the beauty in his arms and said coquettishly, "Oh, you can't be honest, you made fun of people early in the morning, and almost tossed me to death last night, like a wild bull." I don't pity people at all. ”

Li De said lewdly, "You little goblin, it's not that you keep teasing me, otherwise I can be so impulsive, you see that you are a lot more beautiful now, it's not the credit of my hard work last night, as the saying goes, wow, there is no ploughed field, only tired cows." ”

Tia's cheeks were flushed by Li De's teasing, and she didn't follow and started to fight with Li De. Li De's evil fire jumped up, and immediately turned on his horse again, and fought again with his gun. In the end, Tia was exhausted. Li Dezhi took a shower and came to the hall proudly.

After Su Wen gave Li De a salute, he said, "The head of the family, a new restaurant has opened opposite the drunken fairy building, it seems to be coming to us, all kinds of dishes sold by their family are the same as ours, and the price is two percent lower. Although it is not as good as the Romance of the Gods you wrote, it has also attracted some customers to them. I asked people to go and take a sneak peek, and the decoration grade and everything are on par with us, and I heard that they are also going to start selling alcohol, and it will be on the market tomorrow. ”

Li De: "There is such a thing, this is obviously to fight against Taiwan." Can you find out which family is against us? ”

Su Wen nodded and said, "Yes, which restaurant shopkeeper is the person arranged by the Taiyuan Wang family's steward, the head of the family, why should this Taiyuan Wang family go against us, we can't get by." ”

Li De smiled lightly, "It's not because I beat the Wang family, this is what I came to find a field." ”

Su Wen said, "The head of the family, the Taiyuan Wang family is one of the five surnames and seven hopes, they have always been in the same spirit, this is obviously to compete viciously with us, to hurt people." Are we going to fight with them? ”

Li De said, "Fight is definitely going to fight, since they didn't come to me to trouble and use commercial competition to fight, then I will continue." In this way, we are not familiar with them, or maintain the original price of the dishes, I am writing a few dishes, you send someone to buy materials, so that the people in the kitchen are attentive, and the dishes are cooked before pushing out, in addition, I asked you to order the ceramic wine bottle before? ”

Su Wen nodded and said, "A thousand have already been made, family master, they are all white porcelain blue and white vases that you requested,"

Li De "Okay, then start filling, and when the new dishes are launched, we will sell this ceramic wine at the same time, and you can order the price, we are drunk Chang'an is already the first famous wine in Chang'an, and the packaging is beautiful, just pulling out the high and low grades." ”

"You go to the steward of the Cheng Family Wine Workshop, and the two places of the restaurant and the Cheng Family Wine House keep an eye on me to prevent someone from deliberately sabotaging, especially the people who have mastered the core technology, and we can't let the other party buy it and leak our secret recipe. That way, even if they sell alcohol, don't try to fight us. ”

Su Wen said, "Okay, the head of the house, I'll do it right away," and as a result, the recipe written by Li De included dishes such as Dongpo elbow, Dongpo meat, Sixi meatballs, white-cut chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, and lion's head. I don't know what the head of the family has in this brain, he has never heard of these dishes.

Li De thinks that these dishes are almost the same, but it is too easy to learn and imitate, as long as the other party has a chef, come to Zuixianlou for a meal, and keep it can guess a seven, seven, eighty, eight. I have to think of another one that is not easy to expose. By the way, this is his favorite dish, what braised pig's feet, brine roast chicken, braised phoenix feet, duck feet, quail eggs, braised tofu and other snacks, you can also make brine hot pot, the most important thing is that the price is not expensive, the most suitable home cooking for your own food, that is, you can make it at home if you know the ingredients, Sister Wang has her own brine recipe, her braised pig's feet and eggs are delicious. It drools when I think about it.

Li De stopped Su Wen and quickly wrote out the recipe for making brine. Aniseed; cumin, peppercorns, licorice, cinnamon, grass fruit; tangerine peel; Cardamom, cloves, monk fruit, ginger, refined salt, soy sauce, etc., in fact, those who have made brine have their own different recipes, a little more and a little less taste is a little different, the core is star anise, cloves, licorice and so on.

"Old Sue. Now, this is another recipe for seasoning, more important than those dishes, you know it yourself, remember not to give it away. Foods made with this condiment are sure to be a hit. ”

Su Wen saw that many of the things written on it were still medicinal herbs, and asked suspiciously, "Master of the family, this formula has to go to the medicinal herb shop to sell." ”

Li De said, "Yes, so in order to keep it secret, in addition to you personally responsible for sending people to buy, you must also instruct your subordinates to go to many medicinal herb shops to buy goods." Don't buy all of them in one store, so you don't have to steal our secret recipes. ”

Su Wen said with certainty, "The old slave knows, don't worry, master, I'll go back and make arrangements." ”

Li De: "Okay, you go back and tell the guys, let them do a good job." When we defeat our opponents, I will be rewarded. ”

After Su Wen left, Yicheng rushed to the palace to ask to see him. Li De heard that the woman from Yicheng came and knew that there was nothing good. had no choice but to invite her to the main hall.

Yicheng finally saw Li De with a dusty voice, and said anxiously, "You ran there in the past two days, not in the palace, let me find it"

Li De said, "I went to the Lantian fiefdom, how can I find what is the matter?" ”

Yicheng said, "What else can I do, of course, I asked you how to arrange those female slaves, and you asked me to be in charge of managing them, but now I am a little woman with no name, no money, and no one." How did you make me raise so many people? ”

Li De said, "Uh. . Didn't I just think of it? You see, those are you women, you are good management, I am going to build many workshops in Lantian, I think they can do weaving, embroidery, clothes and shoes, this should be no problem. ”

Yicheng said, "What is this, women are originally popular, and there is more"

Li De went on to say, "There is another industry that is more suitable for women and children, and that is matches."

Yoshijo said, "What is a match?" ”

Li De explained, "It's just a small wooden stick, and a stroke on the red phosphorus will light a fire, which can completely replace the fire fold, you say that this industry is big enough."

Yicheng is a princess of a country or the knot of the three Turkic khans, and he was naturally surprised to see it, and said, "You really have this kind of thing, then there are these two industries, and I am confident that I can feed them all." ”

Li De said, "Okay, when the construction of the Lantian house is completed, you can take them over, and then start working, and distribute money and food according to work every month, so that they can be self-sufficient and self-reliant." ”

Yicheng nodded happily and said, "That's right, this is the two title deeds that Queen Xiao dragged me to bring to you, let me convey them to you, please look at her face and let go of his nephew, Xiao Rui, that child is a second lord, and he causes trouble all the time, but after all, he is the son of his own brother, I hope you have a lot of adults, don't be like a child." ”

Li Dehe smiled and looked at the land deeds of the two tea estates in Junshan and Dongting, and said, "Queen Xiao just doesn't say it, even for the sake of these two land deeds, I won't worry about him." Go back and bring me a message. ”

Yicheng said, "That's good, you don't know that Xiao Yu almost didn't beat him to death when he heard his son say that he provoked you, and as soon as he went back, he asked for family law, taught him a lesson, and punished him for not going out for a single step." Let someone go to Jiangnan and buy two tea estates to make amends for your sins. If you say that, I'll be able to go back to my life. By the way, do you like to drink tea very much, and you want to grow it yourself? Chang'an doesn't have a lot of tea markets."

Li De said, "What do you know, just call the thing you drink tea, and throw all those messy things into it." I don't know it, it's like a dirt bun, wait for this king to make a new tea, give you a little to taste, and keep the tea you haven't drunk so delicious. ”
