Chapter 404: Opening up the Southern Wilderness

It is not unreasonable for Li Tai to be happy, after all, he has been fortunate for this thing for half a year, and he can't wait to print something out. Qin Ze knew that Li Tai wanted to prove himself, so he let him show off in front of him.

He personally typeset the part of the scriptures in the "University", with a total of more than 200 words. Li Tai printed ten copies in one go, and then bound them into a book and marched majestically towards the palace with these things.

It can be predicted how proud Li Tai was in his heart at this time, he chose to go at this time, naturally not to compete with Li Chengqian for anything, but more to reassure his eldest brother.

No matter what, Li Er's choice will always determine the throne of the emperor. And Li Tai also knows that Li Chengqian's power now, in addition to Li Er's love, it is more of Qin Ze's intentional assistance. So in this case, it is a better choice to retreat, and he has indeed found his own fun in this now.

Qin Ze was actually reluctant to assist Li Chengqian at all, and even preferred to stay with Li Ke and others if he could.

The seeds planted by the Department of Agriculture have already begun to be cultivated for the third time. Only the full-grained seeds are selected and then cultivated in a sealed manner to ensure the purity of seed pollination.

After two selections, the seed heading has been significantly changed this time. Not only is it not as flattened as before, but the heading rate has also increased. But this is not enough, this is only the first step, and after a continuous selection of seeds, it is necessary to start cultivating these seeds in large quantities.

There are now many more fresh faces in the Agricultural Bureau, after all, after two years of fermentation, Datang College finally has a certain reputation. The current Datang Academy no longer has to hide it, because there is Li Chengqian's seat here. And now that movable type printing has matured, as long as Qin Ze can provide cheap books for poor students, then the family's constraints on readers will drop a little.

The advantage of a large number of people is that it has become more lively, not only in the cultivation of millet, but also in the artificial insemination of green cattle in an orderly manner.

As for Li Ke's greenhouse hatching, it has basically matured, and today's Jingyang County can be said to have at least dozens of chickens, ducks and geese in every family. The consequence of this is that in any corner of Jingyang County, you can see children of all sizes rummaging in the grass looking for green worms.

Now that autumn is in the fall, there are some locusts. It's just that unlike other counties, Jingyang County has no locust plague, and now even the green worms are about to become extinct. Fortunately, after eating the locusts, there are still vast pastures that bring a lot of food to the chickens.

The more chickens, ducks and geese, the larger the number of eggs laid every day. From beginning to end, as long as the eggs sent by the farmers, Qin Ze accepted them together, maybe Qin Ze had been pouring money to hatch eggs for farmers a few days ago. But now, under the condition that the poultry population in Jingyang County has been guaranteed, it is time to make a profit.

Except for the eggs that are taken to hatch, there is already a lot of spare. The purchase price of the Qin Mansion is one penny, but you must know that the market price of Chang'an is two pennies.

So in this way, Wang Yuxi and Su Yi are both smiling, especially Wang Yuxi has a big belly, and he is happy to check the output of the fiefdom every day.

Other people's families look at how much food there is, but Qinfu looks at how many eggs and ducks there are every day. An egg is a penny, and you never have to worry about sales.

Let's not mention the large population base in Chang'an, let's just say that Suyi has now opened several restaurants in Chang'an. The previous greens were made into flowers in these restaurants, and now the eggs are naturally difficult for her.

Whether it is a poached egg with a strong fragrance or a steamed egg with soft and glutinous minced meat, Qin Ze can always make the eggs sell successfully. And with the current output of Jingyang County, it is still a little impossible to meet a Chang'an. So Qin Ze didn't need to worry that his eggs would not be sold at all.

Wang Yuxi is completely hopeless, even if Qin Ze has told her many times that "sour and spicy girls" are superstitious, she is still indomitable.

After eight months of pregnancy, she completely stopped eating spicy food, and even Qin Ze found that she would secretly drink a sip of old vinegar every day. There is nothing good about this thing, but Wang Yuxi just likes to toss himself like this.

When he found Wang Yuxi secretly drinking Chen vinegar again, Qin Ze finally couldn't stand it. Because looking at Wang Yuxi's appearance, it is like drinking bitter water.

went up and snatched the vinegar bowl from Wang Yuxi's hand, and then threw it aside. Dongxue next to him also quickly brought a bowl of water.

"Don't force yourself so much in the future, who told you that you can give birth to a son by drinking this." Qin Ze handed the water over and said with a straight face.

Wang Yuxi also kept squeezing her eyebrows, not because she was coquettish to Qin Ze, but because she was really sour. Seeing the clear water handed over by Qin Ze, he also took a drink and said, "This is the home remedy I asked Wen Po for, I heard that it has always been right." ”

Wang Yuxi stuck out her tongue, and her furrowed brows finally eased.

Qin Ze also snorted coldly when he heard this, and then shouted outside: "The housekeeper carries the horse, master, I am going to meet this stable woman today." ”

"Okay, can you be angry about this?" Wang Yuxi was also amused by Qin Ze's appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Qin Ze and said, "The concubine is blessed, and it is difficult to bear the incense of her husband." The husband was originally not prosperous, and the concubine naturally wanted to inherit the incense for the Qin family. So suffering is nothing. ”

"Boys and girls aren't all the same. I still want a girl, so that I can inherit your peerless face, Madame. Qin Ze doted on Wang Yuxi's waist, and his right hand was attached to Wang Yuxi's belly, Qin Ze could even feel the throbbing inside.

"Phew! Bah! Bah! Don't talk nonsense, husband. ”

Wang Yuxi hurriedly blocked Qin Ze's mouth, not daring to let him talk nonsense again. Before she met Qin Ze, she always thought that she could only die alone in this life, but now Qin Ze did not dislike her thin life and married herself, which was already a great blessing for her. Naturally, I also have to think about it for Qin Ze, and I don't think about drinking some vinegar.

"A few days ago, Shaopu came back to write a letter, the Turkic waterway has been completely opened, and now the first batch of goods is already being transported to Chang'an."

Wang Yuxi's belly was too big, and her waist was too slender, so she could only let Qin Ze sit down after standing for a while.

For today's Qin government, six of the real income achievements come from the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce, the remaining three percent come from the brick kiln and cement kiln, and the last remaining one percent comes from the fiefdom and Chang'an commerce.

Qin Ze himself didn't know how much money the Hou Mansion had, but he knew that in addition to asking Li Er for money at the beginning, all the subsequent construction of Datang Academy was spent by Qin Ze.

And now that the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce has opened up the waterway, it means that in the future, the Hou Mansion's income in the Turks will double.

Even Qin Ze doesn't know if this is good news or bad news, if Qin Ze is concerned, the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce has not only greatly stimulated the development of Datang's business, but also improved the living standards of the entire Datang. But he also knows the truth of the tree, the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce is developing too fast, even if it only moves the fur and meat business, it can't stand the huge quantity.

Coupled with the spice business brought by the Hu merchants attached to it and the continuous grain output of the Turks, the development of the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce surpassed that of the Imperial Merchants and the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce. Because there are many forces behind them, the two chambers of commerce have developed too far behind.

It can always be said that the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce has opened up the road in front, and then the Imperial Merchants and the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce have enjoyed the success. And this is also the reason why Li Er has never touched the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce, and Qin Ze also knows that once all the business patterns of the Turks are doomed, the existence of the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce has become a burden.

The value of Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce lies in development, not sharing.

So after thinking for a while, Qin Ze also hugged Wang Yuxi and said, "Let Shaopu prepare to withdraw from the Turks, the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce only needs to leave three achievements." ”

"Husband is going to give up the grassland?" Wang Yuxi was slightly stunned, and asked with some astonishment.

"The grassland is no longer suitable for the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce, now is the best time to leave, remember that our family is not short of those copper coins." Qin Ze said in Wang Yuxi's ear with a smile.

Wang Yuxi's ears are very sensitive, and when he is teased by Qin Ze like this, he is instantly red. Pushed Qin Ze shyly, Wang Yuxi was also angry and said: "Our family's expenses are too big, if there is no grassland, where can I find copper coins?" ”

"To the south, let's go to Luzhou, Hangzhou, and Lingnan. The commercial value of that land is far from being comparable to that of a grassland. And Tuyuhun is about to be unable to hold on, and the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce also needs to start moving there, so our family's money can't be spent. Qin Ze pointed his fingers at Wang Yuxi and said.

From north to south, a small piece of land is only a lot of land. What Qin Ze wants is to bring business to every corner of Datang, and even bring the achievements of Datang Academy to every corner of Datang.

And the most important reason is that Qin Ze also wants to go to that land to see, because if according to the facts, Jingzhou can be regarded as Qin Ze's birthplace, but this birthplace will be postponed for more than a thousand years......

The Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce would not pay so much for nothing, Qin Ze knew what Wang Fu had been expecting all along. He has been working hard for Datang for so long, from Chang'an to the grassland, there are more than 30 trade routes, and the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce has opened up more than 20. So in terms of contribution, Wang Fu's contribution to Datang is also not small.

There is no doubt that active commercial activities have brought prosperity to the country, because no one can deny that a steady stream of materials is constantly enriching the entire Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Qin Ze wanted to give Wang Fu an official name, and at the same time asked for a name for the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce, and in exchange, the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce completed the work of opening up the Southern Wilderness for Datang.
