"I've seen Tai ......" Hu Ying was just about to bow down and salute, Li Wei immediately stepped forward to support him, and "shh

Hu Ying reacted. The prince came in civilian clothes, and immediately stood up carefully and straightened, and his mouth opened wide when he looked at it.

The business is big, the wisdom is not ordinary, the memory is good, the last time I met in the wine shop, although there was no conversation with each other, the temperament of this line of people still left a deep impression on him.

"The servant was babbling gibberish last time......"

"Uncovered, don't mention, sit."

Sitting down carefully, Hu Ying was even more uneasy in his heart, it was rumored that the prince knew the etiquette best, and last time he and Yu Langjun, as well as Earth Pony, they talked nonsense and said a lot of filthy things, so he said: "That last time ......"

"Don't mention it, I'm here to talk to you about important matters."

The voice was very soft, in order to avoid people from discovering it, Li Wei specially found a remote seat in the corner and sat down, there was a window in the corner, the window was opened, and it happened to be a tall peach tree, which sent a touch of peach blossoms to the window, and the peaches were very charming.

Smelling the pink fragrance of peach blossoms, he said, "I heard that you have two sea ships?" ”

I'm really curious about it.

"Prince," whispered, and replied, "the two ships were bought from the great cannibals." The big cannibal is good at business, from the mouth of the Persians to learn the news of our Tang Dynasty, so in addition to trading with our Tang Dynasty from the Silk Road, in recent years, when the autumn comes, follow the wind to the South China Sea countries, and then take the southern monsoon to sail to Guangzhou, after the transaction is completed, to the end of the summer when the northeast wind prevails, return to the big food, it takes a year and a half to come and go. Ships carry a lot of cargo, and some ships can carry more than 1,000 stones, and the harvest is very expensive. However, the sea is very risky, and one of the servants did not come back because of an accident. ”

Nearly 2,000 stones, that is, hundreds of tons, or even nearly 1,000 tons, in fact, I have also seen some information from the household, the big ship is the ship, and some river boats of several hundred tons have been produced in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Later generations have also seen some records, saying that the 20,000-stone ship, and the tonnage of the ship when Zheng He went to the Western Ocean was more than 10,000 tons. It seems that I don't believe it, but after checking the information, I learned that the safe tonnage of wooden ships can only reach 2,000 tons. It should be said that Hu Ying's data is a little more prepared.

"Then can you tell Gu, Da Shi and Persia, as well as some of the situation in the country of Fula?"

"Dare not obey. The Persian state turned out to be very strong, and together with the Turks, it destroyed the state of Hatda. But soon after, the Turks attacked Persia in turn, killed the old emperor Kusahe, and supported his son Shili as a puppet emperor. A year later, he died of illness, and he was led by Cusa and his daughter. The Persians were not satisfied, and welcomed his son Shan Kafang, who had fled to the kingdom of Fula, back and made him king. After reigning for less than two years, he died again, and then helped his brother and son Yihe. I'm faint and ruined by the great food. His son Belus sent an envoy to ask for help from my Tang Dynasty, but the road was far away and was rejected by the saint. Later, Tocharian sent troops and sent Belus to the city of Gerling. Ten years ago, under the threat of the Great Eclipse, the rest of Persia and other countries defected to our Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court divided eight prefectures. The Persian Governorate was located in this city. ”

This statement is clear to Li Wei, it turns out that the Tang Dynasty got the remnants of Persia, not the whole of Persia.

"The Persians like to use elephants for battle, but they like to use horses and camels, and elephants are large, but clumsy and inflexible. When fighting, it is not as good as the camel army and cavalry army of big food. There is also a sea to the west of the Great Eclipse, and there are countries on both sides of the sea, and the Great Cannibals are expanding westward by using their shipbuilding skills to set up armies on ships. But the servants have only been to the city of Jiling at the farthest, and the ships have also sent relatives to Guangzhou, and some big cannibals like the prosperity of our Tang Dynasty, settled in Guangzhou, and bought them from them. Therefore, the servant did not know much about the situation of the Great Eclipse. The country of Fula is even more distant, and I have met some people from the country of Fula, wearing robes and no plackets, not only clothes, but also manners and language, which are very different from those of our Tang people. I heard that they liked to build castles out of stone and settle down as cities. ”

Li Wei wanted to ask if this Fu Lao countryman's body was really covered with body hair like a monkey, but he endured the words.

After Hu Ying finished speaking, he looked at Li Wei carefully.

Li Wei said: "Have you heard of Zhang Qian? ”

"Bo Wanghou, the servant has heard of it."

"Yes, grapes, alfalfa, pomegranates, walnuts, flax, etc., were brought by Bo Wanghou from all over Tianzhu in the Western Regions. Although Fanbang does not understand education, it cannot be denied that everything in Fanbang still has some strengths. ”

"Yes, yes," Hu replied. Of course, he knew that the prince had invited him here today, not to give him a political lesson.

"Besides, Emperor Taizong once issued an order to bring sugar technology from Tianzhu. The Yiren have some crops, which can also be needed by our Tang Dynasty, and there are some technologies, such as the medicinal jade and steel of the Great Food, which are superior to our Tang Dynasty. ”

"But in general, our Tang Dynasty civilization is advanced."

"Of course," Li Wei replied proudly. Even in the late Ming Dynasty, Chinese civilization was ahead of the world. Then he said: "But full of losses and humble benefits, our Tang Dynasty can't stop moving forward because of this achievement." Therefore, I want to ask you to do one thing, and it will be very troublesome to do it. But if it is done well, Bo Wanghou's merits may not be impossible. ”

"Prince," Hu Yingzui didn't know how to say it, no matter how rich he was at this time, no fame was important. After holding it for a long time, he said: "Dare not obey your fate." ”

"I want to entrust you, yourself or others, to go to Dashi, or to the country of Fula, or even more western countries to inspect, see where they have crops, and introduce them to our Tang Dynasty. Or if there are any excellent technical craftsmen, or books, they can also be introduced to our Tang Dynasty. Would you like to? ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Hu Ying.

This errand traveled tens of thousands of miles, and Li Wei had no financial support for the economy, and he was afraid of opposition, so he didn't even grant an official position and a general righteousness, all of which were all due to Hu Ying's own responsibility. Of course, if it is done well, the rewards will be very rich.

I don't know anything else, but I know what the palace test is, Wu Zhuangyuan, these gods and horses are all made by their mothers. Revolution, push the new out of the Chen, my mother will definitely like it.

"Prince ......"

"Lone is just a prince, and he can't reward you with anything right away. But when you finish this, you can promise you a great fortune. ”

Hu Ying's eyes lit up, the crown prince, and he is the prince of Ren, so it is natural that the power will be smoothly transferred. Now that he is the crown prince, he must have scruples, but he will become the emperor one day. I just said that Bo Wanghou is waiting, don't mention it, let's have a uncle. We are also glorious ancestors.

Seeing him frowning, Li Wei smiled and said, "Serve!" ”

………………………………

Out of Li Ji Liquor Store, the first official advertisement of the Tang Dynasty was born.

According to Li Wei's instructions, before the opening, some people were sent to stand at various intersections in the East Market to distribute toffee. I saw an adult leading a child over, scattering pieces of two, and then saying the address of the store.

turned a corner, and I happened to see a young man who looked shrewd and capable, handing out toffee, attracting many passers-by. The two errand servants stood in the distance, and this thing had not appeared once, and they did not know whether they should be taken care of or not, and they were worried.

Li Wei said to Bi'er: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

"Okay," Bi'er jumped up excitedly, after all, it was her father and mother, and there were two new sisters-in-law, and she hadn't seen it once.

Shaking a small fan, in fact, the fan at this time is still very different from the fan of later generations, most of them are made of feathers and cannot be folded. It's not for the sake of elegance, he has appeared a few times in the capital, although there are still not many people who really know him. But it's not that no one doesn't recognize it. Cover it with a fan to save onlookers.

When I came to the northwest corner, the advertising effect was good, and I saw a long queue from afar. Of course, this kind of soft and fragrant toffee has a great impact, and even the noble Li Lingyue has not been tired of eating it for so many days, not to mention ordinary people.

It's just that the price is a little high, cut into small pieces, wrapped in paper, two pennies a small piece. It's a luxury. This is also agreed in advance, the poor can't even eat, how can they have the money to buy toffee to eat. But children are not sensible, and they just ate the milk candy advertised, so they have to hold the hands of adults to come and buy them. When asked about the price, many poor people were discouraged. There was a child who was still making trouble, so the parent slapped him a few times. The child burst into tears.

Li Wei frowned.

Bi'er took his hand and whispered, "Prince, don't be sad, your ability can't save so many people." Besides, it is better to give them food than to give them candy to eat. ”

But Bi'er's father in the store had already seen that the prince was Prince Ren, and he took a dozen yuan and ran over. The family left thankfully. Turning his head, he stared at Bi'er, and walked over hesitantly, he hadn't seen it for several years, and the eighteenth female college student had changed, and he didn't dare to confirm it for a while.

Bi'er had already pounced and shouted, "Yayhh Then sobbing.

Li Wei shook his head again, there are always some helpless things in the world. For example, the disaster victims, such as the eunuchs and palace maids in the inner palace, some palace maids stay in the deep palace for decades and can't go out once. In the inner palace, there are some palace maids and eunuchs who are fake couples, and Li Wei pretends not to know when he knows about it. Once he inadvertently broke into the bedroom of a palace maid and saw a **, more than 20 centimeters long, nearly half longer than the normal size of ordinary people, and twice as thick.

The two whispered for a while, and Jiang Laohan came over, about Bi'er had ordered, and gave the subject salute silently, but he didn't know what to do, and said, "I've seen it...... I've seen ......."

"Uncle Jiang, you don't need to see outside, you do things for me, it's too late for me to thank you. Oh, by the way, last time I heard about the wedding of the two Linglang, but I was negligent, and by the way, I brought two jade pendants, which can be regarded as a supplementary gift for the jubilee. ”

He took out two jade pendants from his arms.

"The servant did not dare to accept it."

"Bi'er is serving me diligently over there, accompanying me through countless ups and downs, don't be too humble, if that's the case, it will be out of sight."

"Yes, yes." Jiang Bi'er's father was so frightened that he didn't hear the words of this sentence.

"Keep busy, I'll take a look."

Today's look at the toffee is just incidental, and looking for Hu Ying is the right thing.

"Yes, yes," Jiang Laohan answered twice, and went back to work.

Standing on the side and watching, most people only bought a few or a dozen yuan, after all, some are expensive, now the price of rice has risen, before the change, the bumper harvest is not counted, and in normal years, you can buy a bucket of rice for more than ten dollars. But I also saw some wealthy masters, such as a servant of a wealthy family just now, who lifted a wisp of money and put it on the table, and said loudly: "Come with a handful of candy." ”

One piece of money is 500 yuan of toffee, although it is a little expensive, but it is still much bigger than the size of later generations. Five hundred pieces put together, it is also a big bag. The rest of the queue looked sideways.

Looking at the speed and the amount of purchases, Li Wei estimated that if it goes on like this, it can sell about 100 yuan a day. Excluding the cost, you can make a profit of about forty or fifty yuan. Of course, this is also a considerable income, but it cost more than 3,000 yuan to buy land and buy a house in the early stage, and these funds are allocated from the inner palace, and the deficit must be filled. It's impressive, but it's not fast. Besides, after the freshness is over, there may not be such a good business.

Unless it is wholesale, this is not impossible, but the weather is hot, and there are many inconveniences in transportation and storage, but this way is restricted. Even if it is wholesale, it is only the nearest state city, and it is good to reach Luoyang. or open a branch, but the Jiang family is thin on manpower, and hiring outsiders will inevitably spread the technology. Once it is rumored, the Jiang family will no longer have any advantages to speak of.

was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard a delicate voice in his ear: "Yan'er, do you see that a certain dress is not like a lupine scarf, just a tall Badou Xiaolangjun?" ”

The lupine scarf came out of his own song, what does it have to do with Cai Gao Badou?

Li Wei couldn't help but turn his head to look, and saw a pretty girl wearing a Confucian shirt, holding a goose feather fan in her hand, wearing a hat, a pink face that can be blown and broken, and her big black eyes are bright and bright.

Talking to a servant girl who was excluded from the crowd.

The servant girl covered her mouth and stole fun, and when she was done, she said, "Little lady...... Xiao Langjun is very similar, more handsome than that Zhou Guogong and more handsome than Pan An and Song Yu. ”

"That's natural, do you think there will be a little lady who is tempted by someone?"

One sentence will be Li Weilei.

Hearing the two of them say something unashamed, a big man in front of him turned around and said, "Don't be stinky, I'll smell the powder on your body from afar." ”

In a word, Bi'er leaned on Li Wei's elbow and bent over with a smile.

PS: You Guan will be able to get the Sanjiang seal push next week, I have to nag everyone and ask for tickets. If you can get it, you will repay everyone on Monday and Thursday.
