Taking advantage of the night, Li returned to the old mansion with GuΓ² Gujing, and he closed his door for two days in order to consult some information on the Internet and find a way to break paper and print.
Tossed all night, Li Su has a plan in his heart, printing equipment is not difficult to solve, you can order some handmade lead printers from the manufacturer, the key point is that the content of this lead font should be the same as the font of the Tang Dynasty, although this is a little difficult, but the price is a little higher, some manufacturers are still willing to do, and papermaking is a little more difficult, improve the quality and type of paper he can do it lightly, but large-scale production of paper also requires a lot of manpower, which can not be avoided, he has to consider running a paper mill.
In two days, Li Su ran some manufacturers and successfully ordered a batch of equipment, Li Su's requirements were very simple, try to make the equipment appear backward, which made those manufacturers confused, if it wasn't for Li Su to pay the deposit, he would really be regarded as a psychopath.
After returning to the palace, Li Su asked about the situation in Jin Daqian's palace in the past two days, except for a few fox friends looking for him, there was no major incident.
"Steward Jin, do we have our own land in the palace?" In the past, Li Su never asked about these things, so he didn't know anything about it.
"Lord Qiqi, our 3,000 acres of land in Cangyun County outside Chang'an City have been barren, have you forgotten?"
"Three thousand acres of land!" Li Yu screamed, it turned out that he was still a big landowner, but he didn't have it in his memory at all, "Why is it wasted?" β
Jin Daqian cold sweat flowed, at that time Li Su was drunk, let him lean heavy taxes on the tenants who rented their land, those peasant households could only maintain food and clothing, they could not live at all after the tax was raised, and fled one after another, as a result, 3,000 acres of land has been barren until now, and now Li Su asked again, he was really afraid that Li Su would turn his face and not recognize people.
Jin Daqian told Li Su the reason, and Li Su nodded, thinking that Li Su was really a Huang Shiren in the past.
"Prepare the carriage and go see our fields!" There is also such a fortune, which made Li Su a little surprised, originally he planned to buy land to build a factory, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
Li Su didn't mean to blame, Jin Daqian breathed a sigh of relief, asked people to prepare a carriage, and went to Cangyun County with Li Su.
TongguΓ² Yanxing Gate out of Chang'an, a dirt road about five meters wide leads to the east, the road is constantly going back and forth, there are also some small traders picking up their own vegetables to sell in Chang'an City, on both sides of the road is the original ecological jungle, from time to time there are some pheasant chirping.
Cangyun County is close to Chang'an, it can be said that it is Cangyun County, after walking for more than ten miles, and bypassing a small village, Jin Daqian stopped the carriage.
Li Su got out of the car, in front of him was a green meadow, vaguely visible ridges, he looked around, except for this land, the other land is planted with wheat, basically ripe and ready to harvest, no need to ask, he also understands that this green grass land is his own.
One acre of land is about 666.6 square meters, and 3,000 acres of land is about 2 million square meters.
"Lord Wang, are you planning to rent it out again, I'll make a notice when you go back!" Jin Daqian saw Li Su frowning and thinking deeply, and guessed.
Li Su shook his head, such a land to build a factory is too wasteful, and it is not hidden enough, he dismissed the plan to build a factory here, but another idea was born, the farm, he wants to transform this place into a big farm, as for what to plant, the Tang Dynasty has nothing, just plant.
Canceling the original plan, Li Su turned along the city of Chang'an, and when he went around to the west gate, a small mountain col attracted his attention, this col had a large area of open space, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was only one exit, which was an excellent place to build a factory.
"Go back and find out whose land this is!" On the way back, Li Su confessed to Jin Daqian.
After all, washing water is still a pollution-free industry, and winemaking is more troublesome, and now the palace is emitting black smoke all day long, if this is in modern times, it will definitely be complained about environmental pollution.
In the afternoon, Jin Daqian returned to the palace, and the land was found out, and what made Li Su cry and laugh was that it was one of the heroes of the Twenty-four Lingyan Pavilion, Tang Jian, who was the property of the Shangshu of the Household Department.
For some petty officials and officials, they may be afraid of Li Su's identity and give up their fields, but when he encounters these people who used to lick blood under the knife with Li Shimin, he has no recruitment, so he can only come to visit.
At the banquet, Tang Jian talked about the experience of fighting side by side with Li Shimin, and the excitement was even more dancing, drinking and singing, and swallowing thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
ββ¦β¦ I wonder why His Highness is visiting the house today? Li Su was listening drowsily, and Tang Jian ended his long speech and finally returned to the topic.
As an old fox who has been in the officialdom for decades, how could he not know the truth of not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, let alone a prince.
Li Su got straight to the point, "Tang Shangshu once remembered that you had a piece of land located in the mountain col on the west side of Chang'an City, and I wanted to buy it!" β
"The fields on the west side of Chang'an?" Tang Jian pondered deeply, and didn't think about it for a while.
At this time, Tang Jian's son Tang Meng reminded: "Father, it is the field that washes away the crops in the field when it rains!" β
"Oh, I remember, what did Your Highness buy it for! and they can't farm. β
"Presumably Tang Shangshu has also heard about the sale of apricot blossom wine in Liang Wangfu, I want to buy it and build a factory!"
"That's it!" Tang Jian's eyes rolled, the apricot blossom wine is now popular throughout Chang'an, the officials invited guests to drink, saying that there is no apricot blossom wine, then it is not embarrassing to open his mouth at all, legend, now the emperor drinks this wine every day, "Your Highness, the old minister has not kept that piece of land, you can sell it to you if you want to buy it, but it is too unreasonable for the old minister to collect your money, it is better to do this, you will give the old minister a jar of apricot blossom bar, and let the old minister taste fresh." β
Li Su really wanted to spray his saliva, according to the market price, his rotten land was worth fifteen copper coins at most, and a jar of apricot blossom wine was fifty yuan, but Tang Jian said this, Li Su had no tricks, and he couldn't say that he would give him half an altar, so he Li Su would not become a joke he said when he went to court.
Gritting his teeth, Li Su nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, Tang Jian's son Tang Meng looked at Li Su meaningfully, "On the day of the poetry conference, Tang Meng was clumsy, and he didn't recognize His Highness, which is really a sin. β
"You also participated?" Li Su was not impressed.
Tang Meng sighed, "Unfortunately, Chang'an City is full of talents, and I was brushed off in the rematch, it's a pity!" β
Li Su comforted: "There will be many opportunities like this in the future, as long as Brother Tang reads poetry and books diligently, he will always win the championship!" β
"Really? Your Highness! Tang Meng's eyes lit up, and he thought it was the most interesting event he had ever attended.
Li Su nodded noncommittally, life in Chang'an City will only become more and more exciting in the future.
