The young man surnamed Cui's face rose a light red, and he was still confident in the poem, and said, "You read it out, let me listen to it." ”

"I don't know when I sleep in spring, I hear birds crying everywhere, the sound of wind and rain at night, and I know how many flowers fall. This is one of them. Good rain knows the season, when spring happens. Dive into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently. The wild trails are dark, and the riverboats are bright. Xiao looks at the red wet place, and the flowers are heavy in Chang'an City. This is the second also. Hearing that this was a spring rain a few days ago, the prince was overjoyed. I heard another poem written by the prince, which you may think is vulgar, but I think it is something to say, and you can listen to it again. Wheat dies in spring and does not rain, and He Heng has early frost in autumn. Sui Yan has no food, and the field picks rehmannia. What will be the use of it? Hold on to the grain of exchange. In the early morning, the hoe goes, and the twilight is not full. Brought to Zhumen's house and sold to the white-faced man. With the king of fat horses, you can make the light of the earth. May the remnants of the horse save this bitter and hungry intestines. This is when the prince saw that after a rain, there were signs of drought again, and he was very worried. It just so happened that there was a dose of Rehmannia in the medicinal soup he ate, and he thought that he had no worries about food and clothing, and those medicine pickers didn't know what kind of life they lived. ”

The young man surnamed Cui couldn't make a sound, and the latter song was vulgar, but he was full of love for the people, and even began to blame himself. As for the first two songs, they are not essayable, or timeless, or elegant, or artistic conception, all of them are the best choice. Far beyond what he had just recited.

Xiangxue read it silently in her mouth, and couldn't help but be stupid.

Li Wei said again: "Oh yes, the prince once heard the scenery of Mount Tai when he heard the Holy Zen, so he wrote another poem, and I will read it to you by the way." How about Dai Zongfu, Qi Lu Qingwei is gone. Creation Zhong Shenxiu, yin and yang cut dusk. Swing the chest to give birth to stratus clouds, and decide to return to the bird. It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance. ”

But he said in his heart: "Little Cuizi, see if you accept it this time, this poem is out, and you will not be trampled to death." ”

After listening to this poem, the young man surnamed Cui was already dripping with cold sweat, and finally said softly: "These poems are all written by the prince." ”

"It's like a fake."

"It's better to be ashamed of yourself."

Li Wei said again: "This Cui Jun, with extraordinary talent, must definitely enter the career in the future, I say a word, you remember it, poetry is good, poetry is good, poetry is good, this is all a small way." How to make the country strong and the people prosperous, this is the way. Just like this Xiangxue lady, today's actions may have saved a few more lives. If everyone is like her, there is still no crisis in the court that can be overcome. The emperor and the empress could not be counted on by the catastrophe, and they did not have three heads and six arms. We need everyone to work together, so it is the responsibility of the husband to say that the country rises and falls. It's better to learn from this Xiangxue girl, stretch out a hand, and help the victims. ”

first use "my poem" to press you, and then use righteousness to step on you, stepping on righteousness.

Sure enough, this Li Yushi, Cui Jun, and Wei Jun all opened their mouths. You must know that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and this righteous and awe-inspiring sentence has not yet appeared, which makes Li Wei move out more than a thousand years in advance, which is even more deafening.

Li Wei continued: "The grass on the plain is one year old and one is withered, the wildfire is inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows. Although there are some difficulties in the imperial court at present, they will eventually overcome these difficulties, and the losses of the Tubo people will be doubled, and the people will have happy days. The Tang Dynasty will also be a strong, prosperous and open dynasty that has never been seen for thousands of years! Guys, you'll see. ”

It's another timeless little poem, which comes out casually.

It is even more sonorous and powerful, with confidence, with calmness, in an instant, everyone feels that his thin figure is very tall under the sun.

Xiao Cuizi was so frightened that he didn't even dare to open his mouth, and at this time, the meal was also distributed, and several guards came over, and Li Wei let him go. He arched his hand and said, "Everyone is busy, I still have something to do, so I will leave." ”

After speaking, he entered the East City with a few guards.

After a long time, the young man surnamed Cui asked: "Li Yushi, this Langjun has an extraordinary bearing, do you know him?" ”

Convincing, even Wei Siwen, who is proud of his talents, has to admit that compared with Li Wei, he is ashamed of himself in terms of style, bearing, or words.

Li Yushi said with a wry smile: "He is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

……

………………………………

stepped on Cui Rong with "his poems", and he was victorious, and he was soon left behind.

But a beautiful figure floats in my mind from time to time, well, that Xiangxue is very beautiful. But do you dare to go to the Incense Museum?

asked a guard to go back to the East Palace to get some money, and took a few younger brothers and sisters with admiration on their faces, and walked around the East Market.

The east and west cities both occupy two squares, nearly one square kilometer, the area is very large, and those supermarkets in later generations, compared with the two cities, can only be described as a floating cloud.

In addition to the sparsely populated squares in the south of the city, Chang'an is divided into four square streets, which are divided into four pieces, and there are cross streets in each small piece, and they are divided into four communities, with a total of four square gates. But the two cities are tic-tac-toe streets, nine large areas, and eight square gates.

It is full of all kinds of trading houses, shops, and workshops, and although the business is much worse than it used to be due to the drought, it is still crowded. The only disadvantage is that the system is rigid, the market will be released after 300 drums in the morning, and the market will be closed after 300 cymbals in the evening, and there is no night market.

Li Wei walked all the way and looked very carefully, what pen shops, piano shops, pipa players, iron shops, Bi Luo Shi, pen shops, pharmacies, clothing stores, and attached shops were all carefully seen. There are also acrobatics, which is Li Lingyue and Li Xulun's favorite, and every time they pass by, they stop moving.

But when he passed a paper shop, he suddenly frowned.

Wei Siwen's words rang in his ears again. Over the years, my mother has been too strong, and there are inevitably some bad rumors among the people. But the defeat of the Tang army, coupled with the repeated disasters, this rumor will become more and more intense. Don't talk about your lazy character, even if you do something. Will this rumor work?

This mother, thinking of this, he doesn't know what to say, my mother is Wu Zetian, in the previous life, others were not jealous, but would come to shake hands one by one, and then said sympathetically: "Boy, ask for more blessings." ”

How strong she is, the more she sails against the current, the more she will swim upstream! It's better to take this opportunity to give her some credit. It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. This credit is not only for my mother, but also for my father.

But this is not the case, after all, he is not an expert, so he strode in to verify it.

The scale of this paper shop is very large, the famous paper from all over the Tang Dynasty, such as the rattan paper made of ancient rattan in Yanxi, the moss paper made of seaweed in coastal areas, the fragrant paper made of the bark of the light fragrant tree in Luozhou, the paper made of hemp or cloth shoes in Wuzhong with secret methods, because the texture is very similar to cocoon silk, so the cocoon paper said by the people of the time, the Chu leather paper made of Chu bark in Chudi in the south of the Yangtze River, the slippery tissue paper in Linchuan, the cloud blue paper in Jiujiang, the Liuhe paper in Yangzhou, and so on. The most famous hemp paper in Yizhou, followed by the yellow rattan paper in Wuzhou, these two kinds of paper, even Li Wei himself, are used in limited quantities. You can find it in almost every store.

It can't be said that it is bad, in addition to ordinary paper, like the current high-quality paper, such as Yizhou jute paper and Wuzhou yellow rattan paper, only from the toughness and smoothness, it is no less than all kinds of paper in later generations. But there is a shortcoming, that is, it is too thick, thick enough to be worn as clothing.

"Big brother, what's so nice about this paper?" Li Lingyue held a large bag of snacks in one hand and said impatiently while eating.

After looking at it, he already had a number in his heart, Li Wei lowered his head and said, "Our little princess has a life, so let's go." ”

"Big brother, you spoil your little sister too much," Li Xian couldn't help but shake his head. Along the way, as long as Princess Taiping wanted it, Li Wei would buy it for her immediately. There are no dragons for sale in the East Market, if there are dragons for sale, and the little sister wants the dragon, he can doubt that the eldest brother will buy the dragon for the little sister.

However, his eyes glanced at the Wuzhou yellow rattan paper placed in the most conspicuous place on the cabinet.

Li Wei saw his expression, and immediately knew in his heart, in fact, among several brothers, Li Xian was the most knowledgeable, although Li Hong was not bad, but he was not as talented as Li Xian in learning, and he almost never forgot to read.

So he stopped again, pointed to the yellow rattan paper, and asked the guy, "How much is this paper?" ”

"Twelve hundred wen."

"How much? You might as well go and grab the money. Li Wei said angrily. At this time, the paper area was still very large, but it could not cost 1,200 yuan, and when he saw the harvest in the newspaper, the peasants could only sell a bucket of rice for 5 yuan. What is the concept of 1,200 yuan?

The guy didn't raise his eyelids, although Li Wei brought several domestic servants with him, but the powerful and rich people in Chang'an didn't want to go to the sea more, and replied: "Xiao Langjun, Emperor Wuteng also likes it, but because it is not easy to make it, he can only pay a tribute of 6,000 sheets." In Chang'an, only we have it for sale. If Xiao Langjun is too expensive, you can change to other papers, Yizhou Gong Ma three etc., each sold 600, 300, 100 Wen, Yizhou crumbs, talc, Jinhua, long hemp, caviar, ten color paper each is only sold between 50 Wen and 300 Wen, each piece of paper is divided into 60 to 300 Wen, Song Bo Wu Silan from 50 to 150 Wen, Wuzhong cocoon paper from 40 to 80 Wen, Yangzhou Liuhe paper from 50 to 120 Wen, Linchuan slippery thin each from 20 to 80 Wen, Jiujiang Yunlan from 20 Wen to 100 Wen, Jiangnan Chu leather paper is 20 to 60 wen per sheet, Luozhou fragrant skin fish roe, from 50 to 200 wen, Puzhou oil thin from 30 to 60 wen each. If Xiao Langjun is still too expensive, Xuanqu case paper, Junzhou large model paper, and Hang Wuyue fine yellow and white are only between fifteen and forty wen, and the price of seaside flogging paper is also about the same. No matter how expensive it is, I have to buy poor hemp paper from all over the country, only ten to fifteen yuan per piece. (Note)

Li Wei can't keep quiet, people dare to sell the brand effect, and the scarcity is expensive, so the price of Wuzhou yellow vine will rise. In fact, others, such as ordinary hemp paper, only ten wen, such a large paper, plus this thickness, with the current technology, the price is not expensive.

Gritting his teeth, he bought four for Li Xian, which should be four volumes, each rolled into a scroll, and it was very thick.

Li Xian stumbled for a moment, and finally only said, "Thank you, big brother." ”

It was noon, Li Wei looked at it, and saw a Li Ji wine shop, the business seemed to be good, upstairs and downstairs, there were many people sitting, and the store was very clean and refreshing, and walked in. After ordering a few dishes, all the people in this group are hungry. Only Li Lingyue ate a lot of snacks, was not hungry, and looked around curiously.

Li Xian said again: "Big brother, have you found one thing? ”

"Second brother, what's the matter?"

"From the East Palace to now, I only heard you cough twice."

"Well, there are very few coughs now," but Li Wei felt a little hairy in his heart, why do you pay attention to how many coughs I have?

"Congratulations, big brother." Li Xian said with a grin.

made Li Wei have a false alarm. It turned out to be kindness, so Li Wei said: "Thank you second brother for your concern." ”

Suddenly, there was a hearty laugh in his ears: "Shopkeeper Li, I haven't seen you for a year, and your business here is getting better and better." ”

"Hu Dalang, I praised it, it is average, and thank you for your love, otherwise I would be here today."

"Haha, you fat man, you're getting better at talking."

Li Wei turned his head and saw that it was a bearded man who was talking loudly, and his hand was on the shoulder of a chubby middle-aged man, that is, the shopkeeper Li, who was about the owner of this wine shop. It was followed by three more people. Walking to a private seat near the window, Shopkeeper Li stretched out his hand: "Everyone, please." ”

A few people sat down, Shopkeeper Li left, and the Hu man named Hu Dalang looked at the other two people and said, "Lu Shilang, Ye Dalang, what are you looking for me for?" ”

Lu Shilang said in a low voice: "Hu Dalang's hands and eyes are all over the sky, can you get some horses from Tuyuhun for me." ”

"No one in Guanzhong can live, why do you want a horse?"

"Hu Dalang, I won't tell you the truth, although there is a great drought in Guanzhong, Tuyuhun is lost, the four towns of Anxi have fallen, and the prices of livestock, especially horses, are still rising in Hedong and Hebei. But I don't have a wide range of roads over there, but Hu Dalang has a wide range of roads over there, why don't we cooperate? ”

"Well, let me think about it again, Lu Shilang, don't worry, look at the dynamics of the imperial court, if the imperial court does not send troops, or only defends Liangzhou, it will not be too late for us to cooperate."

"Yes."

"Then Ye Dalang, what about you?"

"I heard that Hu Dalang got a lot of spices for the big food this time, can you give me a little more."

"That batch of spices has already been ordered, there is not much left, I will go back and see how much is left, and we will contact again."

"Okay."

After talking about two business, this Hu Dalang turned to a person dressed as a son-in-law and asked, "Yu Langjun, what are you looking for me for?" ”

"I heard that Hu Dalang brought a lot of big food and medicine jade back this time, and there are a few fine pieces of them, I don't know if I can sell them for face, how about selling them to me?"

"Yu Langjun, we are friends, but these items have the master's family, and I heard that Zhou Guogong asked for them."

As soon as they heard Zhou Guogong, several people gasped and didn't dare to say anything.

After a while, the Yu Langjun said again: "In this case, you promise me one thing, next time I go to Dashi, how about helping me get a few women who are big whisks?" ”

"What do you want the women over there, most of them are blue-eyed blonde with thick body hair, don't scare you."

"But I like it," said a lewd laugh.

"It's not difficult to bring people over there, I'm afraid that the soldiers at the checkpoint will think I've brought youkai over." It was a joke, and several people laughed in low voices.

After a few people finished laughing, they listened to this Hu man talk about the big food side.

Li Wei also sighed that no matter what, the open atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was still very good, and Da Fu was the Eastern Roman Empire. If it was placed in Song Ming, this rich boy would never dare to ask this Hu man for a few European women.

After eating, Li Wei said to Bi'er: "Let's go find your two brothers together." ”

It's time to get down to business!

Note: How to sell paper in the Tang Dynasty, I can't verify it, it is estimated that it has the same size as cloth, and it is sold according to what knife ruler plus quality. But there is no way to verify it, so I have to come to a unified standard. The price is also not accurate, this is my approximate estimate based on the quality of the fame of paper produced in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, and the price of the time at that time. No basis.
