Chapter 466: Inviting people to a banquet to show kindness

Sitting on the third floor of Changfeng Pavilion, Li Dong was in a very good mood, smelling the smell of wine in the cup, and there was an indescribable comfort.

I made money, I made a lot of money, I still made the paper money of the Tang Dynasty, and if I had the paper money of the Tang Dynasty, I would be able to buy many good things that were not sold by Tang Dynasty merchants in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

"Mu County Order, the people in the county are having a good time this year, right?"

Li Dong took a sip of the wine in his glass, looked through the open window, looked at the snow that was still sparsely falling outside, and said.

The Mu County Order, which he was called, was a man of forty a year who sat opposite him, and when he heard his voice, he let the cold wind blowing in from the window blow his cheeks, showing two yellow teeth, and nodded again and again.

"Yes, not only is it good, the above has proposed to let me be promoted, but I pushed it down, no matter how good it is elsewhere, it is not as good as the place close to the junction, this year a heavy snow fell, and none of the houses of the people in the county collapsed.

If you want to say that Datang is really powerful, I sold my Silla tools, but if it is made of iron, the steel mouth is extraordinary, especially the long saw used to saw the tree, a few times, a thick tree will break in the blink of an eye, with wood, every family renovates the house, good. ”

Mu Xian Ling said as he spoke, as if he remembered something good, his smiling eyes were about to squint together, and he was also holding a glass of wine, and his head shook slightly.

Li Dong also smiled, picked up a fresh cucumber from the table without holding a cup, and put it in front of his eyes to look left and right.

"This is technology, such as cucumbers, Datang has long been able to plant in winter, I Silla only started to study today, not as good as before, at that time Datang blockade was very strong, but now almost all the places slightly north of Datang are planted, and it is impossible to keep it secret.

The only thing that makes people feel aggrieved is that it is easy to learn to grow cucumbers in winter, but the method of steelmaking is not found to be stolen, I heard that someone came to you last month to discuss the establishment of a smelting workshop in this county, you have to send someone to take a good look, if you can learn, it is a great achievement. ”

Speaking of technical things, Li Dong once again felt the benefits of Datang banknotes.

Since the Datang banknotes came out, and then I think of Datang to buy good things, you must use Datang money, the copper coins that were minted before are useless, medicinal materials for healing, clothes with good materials, exquisite glass products, delicate ceramics, you have to take out Datang money if you want to buy it.

Obviously, there is an exchange ratio between Datang's money and Silla's money, but if you want to directly exchange Silla's copper money for Datang's money, Datang still doesn't give it back, so you can only sell the goods to get Datang's money.

The problem is that Silla can only sell a few metals in addition to charcoal, and Datang is also trying to lower the price, plus the tariff of 20% collected, it is not easy to make some Datang money.

I am also familiar with the people of Datang at the junction, so I know what kind of things Datang likes, so that I can be the first to show business opportunities and make a fortune in advance, but it is not so easy for other businessmen.

Maybe it was because he had a heart, Mu Xian Ling also thought of this, glanced at the watermelon on the table, licked his lips and said: "Li Dongjia, cucumbers are easy to grow, but watermelons still have to be bought from Datang, I heard the people of Changfeng Pavilion say that it will cost a lot of money just to buy watermelons from Datang this winter."

You have to find a way to get glass, the best is the manufacturing technology of glass, Li Dongjia, you said that we should find more businessmen, unite to raise money, and buy off the officials in charge of making glass in Datang? I don't believe in anything that money can't buy. ”

Li Dong fell into deep thought for a while, and without waiting for him to speak, Mu Xian Ling continued: "To say that Datang is indeed good to me Silla, and selling grain cheaply, cheaper than his local Datang, this is the etiquette of Datang, as well as cloth, but why don't they use Datang's money to buy charcoal when they buy it?" ”

Li Dong frowned slightly, as the Muxian Order said, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty came to cooperate with the land, cut down trees and burn charcoal, but did not give Datang money, but only gave a large amount of charcoal to the people who worked.

Ordinary people, even merchants who don't do much business, let alone use Datang's banknotes, they have never seen it.

"Li Dongjia, you said that if you have enough one million yuan, can you buy the technology to make glass? Once you get it, you ...... it when the time comes. Mu Xianling had a scene in his mind of lying on the glass mountain, and said to Li Dong.

Before he finished speaking, Li Dong smiled, "Hehe, Mu County Order, wake up, don't dream, glass, do you know where the glass comes from?" Luzhou, Luzhou, which is far, far away from the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

They would rather send them to all parts of Datang from afar to bear the losses caused by the instability of ships and vehicles on the road, rather than set up a few more places to make glass in Datang, not for the sake of secrecy?

You take a million guan to find it, it is estimated that as soon as you take it out, people will catch it and exchange it for someone else's business, and maybe you can also exert pressure through the officials of Datang, such as the Ministry of Industry to inquire in the past, so as to get the secret, who dares to go to the business of the Zhang and Wang families? If you go to the spy, you will be judged according to the spy, not to mention that the current Ministry of Industry is the Zhang family's family and advocates loyalty. ”

"What then?" Mu Xian Ling was said to be said that the hot water cooled down, and asked in frustration.

"Forbearance and pretend, look at Japan, they know how to endure and pretend, they are obviously farther away from Datang than my Silla, but they can pretend to be a grandson and deliberately curry favor with Datang, don't you want Datang to be unguarded, thinking that they are not a threat, so as to deceive technology?"

Li Dong has also considered such a problem, if he wants to obtain good technology, he can only wait for Datang to give it, and he can't show any ambition.

Mu Xian Ling exhaled hot air through his nose, gritted his teeth, and said: "I understand, when the spring of next year begins, several factories in Datang will be built in this county, and I will choose clever people to work in the past, see more, listen more, think more, and ask less, so that Datang people think we are stupid, so that we can relax our vigilance." ”

"Well, that's good, eat, in the future, I will go to Shuiyunjian or Bihai Yinsha not far from here to eat, there are many merchants in Datang, maybe I can hear useful news."

Li Dong stopped mentioning the matter after speaking, and lowered his head to eat and drink.

As the two said, the houses of the people of Silla were well repaired, countless firewood was cut down, and there was no need to worry about freezing when it was cold.

The people who can farm the land are not in a good mood when they live in a good house, and the money they get from selling this year's grain is not as much as half of last year's.

When the work is done, will all the other farmers starve to death except for those whose land has been requisitioned from their homes?

With the support of such an idea, the people who farm the land feel that this year's winter is even colder, cold from the inside out, and they don't know what will happen next year.

A few days passed quietly, and when some people were happy and some were worried in Silla, Zhang Tie took someone to find Li Dong and set up a banquet at Bihai Yinsha Restaurant.

In order to let Li Dong eat well, he deliberately made a mandarin duck pot, one side is clear soup, the other side is spicy, and the few chili peppers are taken out partially, of course, they are all chili pepper skins, there are no seeds, and the seeds are still used to plant.

Li Dong was surprised when he saw the red thing, he had eaten the mandarin duck pot, and he used a kind of thing on the mountain, and it took more than a dozen processes to make it spicy enough, but he had never seen the red one.

"It's ......." Li Dong held the chopsticks, wanting to taste them, but he didn't have that kind of courage, so he asked Zhang Tie suspiciously.

Zhang Tie replied to Li Dong with practical actions, picked up a thin roll of mutton, gently soaked it in the spicy pot, and then took out the seasoning in the dish after only a few breaths, put it in his mouth and chewed it beautifully.

"Ah Shuang, Li Dongjia taste, this is something newly developed by my Tang Sinong Temple, it is very delicious, but the quantity is scarce, like ginseng, rare, really rare."

Zhang Tie looked sincere, as if it was really made by Sinong Temple.

Seeing that someone had tested the poison and smelled really good, Li Dong also generously sandwiched a roll of mutton and fiddled it in the pot twice, and then stuffed it directly into his mouth without sticking to the seasoning.

"Hiss, cough, cough, cough, spicy to death." Li Dong has never eaten chili peppers, he didn't want to choke into his nose when he took a bite, tears flowed down immediately, he complained in his mouth, but his hands didn't stop, he opened his chopsticks, sandwiched three rolls of mutton at a time, and then put it in to shabu, he couldn't wait to eat it in his mouth, and he bit the mutton as an enemy while hissing, looking enjoyable.

"Okay, right?" Zhang Tie asked with concern.

"Cheng, Cheng, it's really better than ginseng, but there are seeds?" Li Dong was conquered by the chili pepper, the more spicy it was, the more he wanted to eat it, and he couldn't wait to take the soup on the spicy side of the mandarin duck pot and pour it into his mouth.

"Nope." Zhang Tie replied very simply, and seeing Li Dong's regretful look, he hurriedly changed the topic and introduced the people he brought.

"Li Dongjia, this is the Song Dongjia of Huainan cloth shop, specializing in cloth business, the family has countless money, goods are sold all the way to Huainan, and there are even people who go thousands of miles to buy, and the local good name is far and wide, and it is a great good person that even a three-year-old child knows."

"Fortunately, it turned out to be Song Dashan." Li Dong had to stop eating and show due courtesy.

Song Dongjia, who was introduced by Zhang Tie, was a little blessed, with a round face, always with a smile, it seemed that he was like a smile even if he didn't smile, like Maitreya Buddha, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, very distinctive, and kind at first glance.

Before speaking, the flesh on his face first moved, and then the voice appeared, "Li Dongjia, I have admired the name for a long time, and when I see it today, I know that it is better to be famous than to meet, and it is better to be famous than to meet." ”

"It's easy to say and say, it's all touted by others with false rumors, I don't know ...... Song Dongjia is here?" Li Dong is not naïve enough to judge the reality by looking at the appearance of others.

"Naturally, there is something to do, if it is not to say that it is good deeds, then it will be thunder and thunder, or to seek wealth, I want to find a few more plots in Silla, specialize in planting white stacks, hire the original farmers, and give three times the wages of the original income, and I still need someone to help match the bridge." Song Dongjia said very matter-of-factly.
