Chapter 188: A Dish Increases the Price

I don't know what the four of them think, just two days after Zhang Xiaobao came up with an idea, Old Man Bi and the others really joined forces to send the method to the capital.

After Liu Zhirou got good things in a row, he was about to go to see the bridge, and the four old men said hello and formed a group to go to Wangjiang County.

With the departure of the four old men, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's lives have returned to relative peace, and they no longer have to worry about government affairs.

Li Xun didn't come to bother, he was busy cultivating, cultivating near the hidden mountain, unlike other people's cultivation in terms of luxury, Li Xun's practice only requires a place to be big enough.

The people in the villages near Qianshan who have nothing to do are all recruited by Li Xun to help him work, and the people are not angry if they don't have wages, because Li Xun said that after the construction is completed, he will not find someone to maintain it outside, so he will choose people who can't usually find work in the surrounding villages to maintain.

Li Cheng, who was in charge, didn't know what Li Xun was going to do, so he found Li Xun while he was busy directing the people, and asked inquiringly: "Son, this line of cultivation you are doing, if others come to see it, it is estimated that they will laugh at you, the place is not small, but Qianshan is not as good as Taihu Lake, why don't you put the line in the luxury point?" ”

Li Xun had been asking Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan what they wanted to do before, and the design of Xingzai was also proposed by two people, but today he was finally asked by others, so he coughed deeply and said, "Don't you understand?" ”

Li Cheng nodded violently in cooperation, looking like he was waiting for guidance, but he really didn't understand why Xing was cultivating so poorly in a remote place.

"If you don't understand, just ask, don't hold it in your heart, let me ask you, what do people live for?" Li Xun is very good-looking.

"For what?" Li Cheng followed up and asked, as if he was asking others, as if he was asking himself.

"It's hard, isn't it? So what are you living for? Li Xun asked again.

Li Cheng didn't answer right away, he lowered his head slightly and thought about it, Li Xun was not in a hurry, and waited while watching the people help him practice.

Li Cheng thought for a while, and replied: "Childe, I was sold into the mansion at a very young age, and I sold it myself, I just didn't want to starve to death at that time, and I may have lived to eat and eat at that time, but later with Childe, it was different, I can make others look up to me, and sometimes I rely on the identity of Childe to bully people."

Later, I ran to Sanshui County, saw the restaurant making money, and wanted to make more money, now, I don't know why I want to live, Childe is rich, I am also rich, maybe I live is a habit, if I think about it like this, it seems that there is nothing to die of. ”

After listening to Li Cheng's words, Li Xun nodded approvingly, "You're not bad, I didn't want to continue to climb to a high position, but I can't, I am also responsible for living, and I am afraid that the goal is too small, and it will be achieved in a few days, so I set a big goal for myself, I live just to let the people of the whole Tang Dynasty live a good life." ”

Li Xun's voice was not loud, but Li Cheng heard Li Xun's determination from it, this goal is too big, but what does this have to do with cultivation?

Without waiting for him to ask, Li Xun told him, "Other people's lines are laboring and hurting money, and if you fix a line, you may not go once a year, the luxurious decoration inside costs money, and the land occupied by the line is idle, and the people who are doing things in the line are not working hard, which is a waste."

Even if it's my own money that is wasted, I don't want to be such a person, as long as it's mine, I will find a way to make it produce money and use it for the people. ”

"Childe, isn't it faster to make money by the Taihu Lake?"

"Even if I don't go to that place, I can still make money, so can I not come here? What I want is not the prosperity of one place, but the prosperity of Shuzhou as a whole. ”

Li Xun waved his hand vigorously, and the meaning included the entire Shuzhou.

Li Cheng watched from the side, and suddenly found that the former little Hou Ye had really grown up and it was time to start a family.

"Li Cheng, don't look at the Zhang family and the Wang family are still in Shuzhou now, but they won't care too much, they only have an idea, and they gave me the opportunity to build Shuzhou, and they also came up with the idea of cultivating in Qianshan, and the simplicity of repair."

"That ......"

"That's why I'm not just a decoration, it's going to be a zoo and a botanical garden, and as long as there are animals and plants that can be raised here, I will find ways to find and raise them.

Don't pay for the tickets yet, you know the tickets, right? Let's look at it casually, there are special people to introduce, the repair is too luxurious, the people don't dare to come to see, it's simple and good, the people near it are coming, and they will help me publicize it after seeing it.

When there are more animals, the fame is greater, there are more people who come here, among which there are naturally rich and noble people, and what can be eaten in the zoo and botanical garden will be made into dishes for them, and they are willing to eat them, and the local people can also sell souvenirs here, especially the local specialties, and then ......"

"Then the people have money in their hands, and they want to live a good life and the economy is gradually developing, so will they be able to collect tickets? It also costs money to raise animals. ”

Li Cheng suddenly became smart at this time, and before Li Xun finished speaking, he guessed a rough idea, and only after interjecting did he find that he had interrupted Childe's words.

Li Xun didn't care, seeing that Li Cheng could think of this, he nodded happily and said: "Yes, that's the arrangement, the house is simple, and when the rich people come over, they will rent it to them, you can tear it down and build it yourself, and use the rent to maintain the zoo and botanical garden."

My identity is in place, even if they are trying to tie me, I have to spend that money, with them, with the market here, this place will gradually prosper, and the hidden mountain will also be built into a tourist attraction, let them take shares, and then ...... You got it, right? ”

"Know, know, then the son will be able to stay at home and collect money, and the identity of the king of Tong'an will be more stable." Li Cheng replied.

"Wrong, then I will leave, change another place and continue to be the king of the county, and exchange the prosperity of Tong'an, that is, Shuzhou, for two or three such poor places, and the emperor will be willing, after all, I stopped too much tax here, and the more prosperous the court, the more it will lose."

Li Xun is now addicted to the construction of places, and the poorer the place, the more he wants to go and develop it.

"Childe is dedicated to the people, and the little one admires it, so let's go and let people do it faster." Li Cheng listened to Li Xun's words, and he really admired it in his heart.

Compared with the dry and cold in the winter of the Qianshan where Li Xun is located, the temperature is not too low, and there have been three heavy snowfalls in the capital, and at this time, the beef and mutton in Yanzhou and other places in the north will not be transported over, and the price of meat in the capital will rise.

But today is different from previous years, although meat is still not eaten casually by ordinary people, the price increase is relatively small, not doubling or more all at once, only less than 50%.

The price of beef is high not only because it is small, but because it is not allowed to be killed casually, and it can be transported from other places in normal times, and people who open restaurants will always find a way to kill a few, especially in winter.

Mutton is purely a problem of transportation, so the price of pork has also risen by about forty percent, and those who can't afford to eat mutton will switch to pork, and it is popular to eat sauerkraut.

As a result, the price of pork has risen a little, but this is nothing, with a pigeon flying from Shuzhou, Zhuangyuanlou immediately launched a new dish, after the wine braised pork, the price of pork is long and long.

At this time, the imperial court finally found out that something was wrong, the price of pork rose and the transportation industry also prospered, and the price of hay for livestock also rose, and there was not enough hay to eat soybeans.

Then other prices also rose, this is the impact of a single popular material on the market, very concentrated consumption makes the places around the capital seem prosperous, but it gives people a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

Li Longji asked the ministers who were shivering outside with a calm face in the court, and at this time Lu Yanzuo came out, he hadn't forgotten to calculate Zhang Zhong, and said the cause and effect of the matter, and the spearhead was pointed at Zhuangyuanlou, who not only sold it himself, but also taught him how to cook.

Zhuangyuan Building belongs to Sanshui Zhang's family, why is there this dish? Because Zhang's family has wine, others can only go to Zhang's house to buy wine, and other rice wine is fine, but rice wine is not easy to preserve, if a large amount of rice wine is produced locally, the grain will not be able to keep up, and the amount will be too large.

It is different to use a high degree of wine blending and dilution instead, and the taste may be a little worse, but after all, it is also a delicious dish, even if it is expensive, it is not as good as beef and meat, so in the case of novelty, more people eat it.

Lu Yanzuo meant to arrest Zhang Zhong, and two officials who followed in his footsteps were also impeached at the same time, but there were few responders, and other officials did not cooperate, some were already numb, some were also bought and sold at home, and some of the furniture used at home was still given by others.

Li Longji really wanted to take this opportunity to warn the Zhang family, it was too much, he already knew, and the flying pigeon sent a recipe.

But your family has high skills in making wine, and you can't do it if you want to sell it for money, but when you see that all the officials are silent, there are only a few people, and Li Longji is not easy to move Zhang Zhong.

This year's Shuzhou tax is 280,000 yuan, or in the case of a broken embankment, Liu Zhirou, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also went to learn technology, plus a bridge and unfinished construction, not to mention caught, even to transfer Zhang Zhong back, without him, the people of Zhang Wang's family would not have contributed.

Sighing secretly, Li Longji leaned back, and a warm stream came from his back, and then he remembered that the very comfortable and warm chair he made was sent directly from Luzhou in the first half month.

Glancing at Lu Yanzuo's expectant gaze, Li Longji continued to talk about other things as if this incident had not happened, so the early dynasty spent time in an atmosphere where Lu Yanzuo and a few people were aggrieved and other officials breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he arrived, Li Longji wrote a letter to Bi Gou, Yao Chong and Liu Zhirou, meaning that they should solve the problem and help Yu Yu go to Shuzhou on the legs of the pigeons belonging to Shuzhou that they had sent together a few days after the chair.

Old man Zhang's family received the pigeon and immediately sent it to Wangjiang County on a fast horse.

When the letter arrived, Liu Zhirou took people from the Ministry of Industry and his nephew to observe the cross-river bridge.

"Returned, the emperor gave an order, I don't know what the Zhang family wants to do, I have to send a recipe at this time, and I can send it in the summer, isn't it a pit person?"

Old man Bi read the letter and said to Liu Zhirou.

The four old men, who hadn't stayed enough, were helpless, so they took the car and rushed back as fast as possible, and the destination was the courtyard of the four little guys of Zhang Wang's family.

"One-two-three jumps, one-two-three jumps."

Old man Bi and the four of them really came right, when they arrived at the place, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took a group of little guys to play, that is, they put their legs together and beat up and down.

Jumping and jumping to the gate of the yard, Zhang Xiaobao looked up and saw the four old men coming, and greeted with a smile, "Four grandfathers, are you optimistic about the bridge?" I thought it would take another two days to come back. ”

"I want to see more, but I can't do it, slander, slander the meat made of wine, the champion building in the capital, if I don't come back soon, I will have to die of slander."

Old man Bi looked at Zhang Xiaobao's face helplessly as if he really didn't know anything and said.

"Huh? It turns out that Grandpa Bi wants to eat braised pork made of wine? That's not easy, let people do it right away. "Zhang Xiaobao is very happy.

"No, I can't afford to eat it, pork is too expensive, and even other things are expensive, Xiaobao, do you have to say something? The emperor is not happy, look, the letters have been delivered. ”

Old man Yao asked with the piece of paper in his hand.

Zhang Xiaobao secretly snickered, turned his head to look at Wang Juan, Wang Juan flew a glance at him, that means that you can settle the matter by yourself.

"Now turn around, it's time to jump back, turn ~! Okay, one, two, three, one, two, three jumps......" Zhang Xiaobao first let the little ones continue to play, gave the maid a look, and the maid continued to shout, and then he took Wang Juan and the four old men to a courtyard specially used to rest.

Zhang Xiaobao and the four old men found a table to sit down, Wang Juan went to make tea, and in the eyes of the four old men, Zhang Xiaobao spoke.

"Actually, I don't blame my family for this, can't my family make a new dish? You have to be reasonable, mainly because there are many people in several places around the capital who do not cooperate, and they are just tired, lazy, especially most of the people who have Zhuangzi, who think that raising things like this is too messy, otherwise how can the price of pork go up? ”

The meaning of Zhang Xiaobao's words couldn't be clearer, the good technology of nesting was actually resisted by non-violence, the people in the north are lazy in winter, mainly cold, but the coal and firewood in Huayuan County are not very cheap? The cotton cloth came out, and the price of linen fell again and again in the capital and its surroundings.

What are you afraid of wearing more? Can laziness make a good living? The most annoying thing is that there are people with Zhuangzi, what a good opportunity to increase income has to hide, raising pigs is dirty, the price is several times higher, see if you still dislike it?

"Your family is a cow that doesn't drink water and presses its head, no one said that they want to condemn you, just ask, if you break through, is there a way to make up for it."

Liu Zhirou was also a little embarrassed when he said this, his Zhuangzi also did not have a nesting, it was cold in winter, and he was unwilling to move, and if he raised pigs in summer, the taste was too big, and now he knew that the taste of the biogas digester could be much smaller, and he didn't know before.

Zhang Xiaobao saw that the four people were not here to ask for the guilt, and his tone softened.

"Grandpa Liu, in fact, my family didn't expect a dish to be like this, I really sent more than ten dishes, I will make braised pork ribs for you to eat, and then make a bone marrow crab meatball, Grandpa Liu hurry up and contact them to tell them about the biogas digester, I don't believe they don't raise pigs."

"Even if they raise it, they will only do it tomorrow, now the price of the capital and the surrounding places is too high, and the pork must be lowered, what can you do?"

Old man Yao is most concerned about the present.

"What else can I do, just take out the pork from Sanshui County."
