The bearded guest was worried that Li Shimin would come to him, but Li Xiu knew that from the moment the bearded guest came to his mansion, Li Shimin in the palace probably already knew about it, but he was also sure that Li Shimin would never come to see the bearded guest in front of him, especially not let Princess Pingyang know that he saw the bearded guest, so as not to let Princess Pingyang misunderstand him again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Originally, the bearded guest and Li Shimin belonged to the same kind of people, and they were suspicious and cautious by nature, so they didn't believe much of Li Xiu's words at first, but under Li Xiu's repeated assurances, they finally dispelled the suspicion of the bearded guest, and then lived in Li Xiu's house with peace of mind.

After entertaining the bearded father and son, Li Xiu called Yuechan and was going to send her to a tea workshop outside the city, but Yuechan carried a large box with her in which the accounts of this period of time were placed.

Finally carried the box and got into the carriage, and then they went out of the gate of the princess's mansion together, through the street to the city gate, the martial law in Chang'an City is still continuing, but the country has been controlled by smallpox, so the martial law is no longer as strict as before, for example, now court officials like Li Xiu, as long as they can get the passage documents, and then after investigation, they can enter and exit Chang'an.

With Li Xiu's identity, he didn't even need to pass the paperwork at all, after all, the soldiers guarding the city also knew him, and when he saw him in the carriage, he just said hello, and then let Li Xiu go, and when he got out of the city, Yuechan was very excited to climb the window and look at it, although he was only locked up in Chang'an City for a few months, but in that kind of environment where everyone was at risk, it made people feel that time passed very slowly, as if a long time had passed.

"Master, thanks to your method of planting cowpox, we don't have to be as scared as we are now in the future!" Yuechan admired the scenery outside the city with great interest, and smiled at Li Xiu.

"Hehe, cowpox can only prevent smallpox, the plague species in this world are not only smallpox, if other plagues break out, I can't do anything!" Li Xiu replied with a smile at this time.

"Sir, you are too modest, I have already inquired, smallpox is the most powerful plague in the world, almost half of the people infected with smallpox will not survive, as for other plagues, few are as powerful as smallpox, and now this most powerful plague has been defeated by the master, as for other plagues, not to mention!" Yuechan is full of confidence in Li Xiu.

She has been by Li Xiu's side for many years, and has watched him magically solve one seemingly impossible problem after another, which also gives her strong confidence in Li Xiu, as if nothing in this world can stump him.

Seeing that Yuechan's confidence in herself was so great, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, I am afraid that only he himself knows how many catties and taels he has in this world, especially in terms of medical skills, smallpox is just an exception, but in addition, let alone other plagues, he may not be able to treat even an influenza.

After several years of development, the original small workshop with only a few dozen people has now developed into a large workshop with hundreds of people and covering an area of dozens of acres.

In fact, in addition to the production of tea, the most important thing is to be a distribution center for tea goods, and the tea from other places is transported to Chang'an, which is generally sent here first, according to the color and aroma of the tea, and so on, each grade of tea has a different price, and then sold to those merchants who exclude the purchase of tea, because tea is a new industry, the output has not been able to meet the demand, which has also led to the booming business of tea, and countless businessmen used to run to the front of the workshop every day to queue up to buy tea.

However, with the outbreak of smallpox, not only Chang'an City was under martial law, but the roads near Chang'an were also blocked, even the locals, generally not allowed to move around, afraid of letting smallpox erupt, so that the lively tea workshop was finally deserted, and the door no longer had a merchant who bought tea, because in this case, the tea from other places could not be transported in, and the tea in the workshop could not be shipped out, even if they bought it, it was useless, so naturally no one was willing to buy it anymore.

Although there are fewer people who buy tea, but the tea production in the workshop has not stopped, except for the first few days of the smallpox outbreak, there are some people in the workshop who are panicked, and the rest of the time is in full swing, because this year's summer tea is down again, and batches of picked tea are sent to the workshop, which need to be fried into tea as soon as possible to preserve, so at this time, the tea workshop is very busy.

Li Xiu hasn't been to the tea workshop for a long time, just took the opportunity to send Yuechan, and also came in with her to take a look, and the crystal found that the tea workshop has changed a lot, not at all what he remembered, it turned out that his old house was completely invisible, and he could only see rows of buildings like granaries, which were actually warehouses for storing tea, and the granaries needed to be moisture-proof and insect-proof.

Listening to Yuechan, although the tea business is booming, the tea shipped will not be stored for too long to be sold, but because the tea is too delicate, especially afraid of the tide and insects, so it still needs to be carefully preserved, which also leads to the current warehouse is still far from enough, so she and Yi Niang plan to build a few more large warehouses in the south of the city, so as not to reduce the grade of tea transported from other places in the future due to poor preservation, so that the price can not be sold.

"Look, sir, the Tianzihao warehouse over there preserves the best tea, which is generally only supplied to the nobles in Chang'an and Luoyang, and those few storehouses are for some restaurants or wealthy merchants to buy." Speaking of the warehouse, Yuechan also pointed out to Li Xiu in high spirits at this time, the tea business was almost established by her own hands, which was also her biggest contribution to the family.

"Yes, yes, who are the tea in those warehouses around being sold to?" Li Xiu nodded when he heard Yuechan's words, and then pointed to the surrounding warehouses with some curiosity, in addition to a Tianzi warehouse, and a few Dizi warehouses, there were many warehouses left, and it seemed that there were more tea leaves stored.

"The quality of the tea stored in these warehouses is poor, and it is generally sold to Hu merchants in Chang'an City, who buy these teas and transport them to the grasslands or the Western Regions, where people do not pay attention to the taste of tea, and can make a lot of money." Yuechan introduced with a smile.

Hearing Yuechan's introduction, Li Xiu suddenly had an idea, thinking of an incident in the future, which made him also very interested, and immediately said: "Yuechan, take me to see these teas sold to Hu Shang, maybe I can give some opinions!" ”
