(Thank you for renaming and renaming, Pujiang memories, a monthly pass for the world of the gods, a kiss, and a reward for your heart.) ）

All the invited guests were in place, Li Su waved his hand, and the housekeepers and maidservants rushed out, holding various dishes in their hands, and suddenly the thick fragrance wafted out.

"Everyone, please enjoy it!" Li Su made a gesture of please.

"Your Highness, please!" Everyone bowed their hands to Li Su at the same time.

Li Su clapped his hands again at this time, and the music suddenly sounded, and the banquet officially began.

"Rokuro, I finally understand what it is now that I am impressed every three days." Looking at the grand occasion in front of him, Li Hui was amazed.

Li Su said modestly: "Win the prize, pass the prize!" ", immediately exchanged for Li Hui's disdainful eyes.

The atmosphere of the scene became more and more enthusiastic, Li Hui also joined in, after eating a bite of hot pot, this guy's attention immediately shifted, tossing and turning between various dishes, his mouth was full of stuff, and most of the guests invited by Li Su were also concentrating on dealing with the dishes at the banquet, and the dancing geisha could not distract them.

Because there were too many people this time, the apricot blossom wine prepared at the banquet was quickly drunk, and Rongda moved a lot of jars from the cellar to make this group of people drink to their heart's content.

After a full meal and wine, Li Su stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's banquet is for the purpose of entertaining you, and secondly, it is for a major event in Yizhou. ”

The officials in Yizhou understood what Li Su meant, and those wealthy families looked at Li Su excitedly, because this Li Su represented not only the imperial court, but also the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce, and they all looked forward to cooperating with the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce.

Dou Xiande's grandfather probably guessed something, because Dou Xiande had told him, and he said, "Your Highness is talking about the salt well?" ”

Li Su nodded: "That's right, it is this salt well matter, now the salt wells in Chengdu Mansion are mostly occupied by wealthy families in other states, and the well salt in Chengdu Mansion is monopolized by them." But at the same time, the output of salt in this well can not be raised, which also causes the salt price in Chengdu to remain high, and the people have no salt to eat, and the reason why the merchants of Chengdu can not participate in the mining of salt wells is because of the high price of this salt well. If you are interested, you can discuss this matter with Tong Nian and participate in the well salt industry together. ”

Li Su's words can not be said to be shocking, the salt industry is definitely a violent industry in any dynasty, which has made countless businessmen salivate, and since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. The coexistence of official salt and private salt allowed more wealthy families to participate in the salt industry.

As soon as Li Su's voice fell, the local wealthy people immediately surrounded Tong Nian and asked about the salt wells, since Li Su handed over the drilling rig team to him, he had drilled more than 20 salt wells near Yizhou in accordance with the location instructed by Li Su, and discussed with Shangguan Yi and others. Everyone had a negative attitude towards Li Su's decision to sell Yanjing, but after Li Su told them what he really thought, they immediately fell silent, and Dou Xiande broke out in a cold sweat and had to obey Li Su.

It turned out that the premise of Li Su's sale of salt wells to these local wealthy families was that the salt produced by these wealthy families must be sold to the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce, which was the general distributor of well salt and was responsible for the sale of well salt.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and everyone dispersed, and Tong Nian was destined to be sleepless tonight. Because these wealthy families have been pestering him to ask about Shiojing.

Now that all walks of life in Yizhou are on the right track, Li Su is no longer willing to ask about everything, and let the people below do some things as soon as he is instructed, there is no need to discuss this matter with these wealthy families in person, and Tong Nian also has enough prestige in Yizhou to suppress these people.

"The wine is good, and the food is good." Li Hui lay on the table. Holding a wine jug in his right hand and a lamb skewer in his left hand, he is already in a state of consciousness, such a delicious food and wine. Li Hui He had tasted it, and many people were interested in making friends, so he was drunk after a while.

Li Su shook his head and said to Rong Da: "Carry him to the guest room to rest." ”

Rong Da answered yes and carried the drunk Li Hui away.

After the sweet potato thing was published in the Tang Dynasty Business Daily, a large number of businessmen began to pour into Yizhou, different from the last potato fair, this sweet potato fair attracted more people, because sweet potatoes are all businessmen, which also attracted a lot of small businessmen, Chengdu local businessmen are more enthusiastic, after all, this is a local specialty of Yizhou, they occupy a geographical advantage.

The event of the trade fair made Yizhou lively again, the influx of a large number of merchants made the streets of Yizhou crowded, and various local vendors in Yizhou took the opportunity to peddle their goods. Buildings and other places are full, and the exhibition will invisibly stimulate the exhibition of Yizhou's local economy.

Li Hui walked on the streets of Yizhou like this, his heart was shocked, such a prosperous scene has never been seen in Chang'an, not to mention the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, even those golden-eyed foreign merchants can be seen everywhere, even more than Chang'an, and the goods in the south and north markets are also varied, there are those he has seen, and there are those he has not seen, the shops on the street are lined up one after another, the specialty stores with the plaques of the Tang Chamber of Commerce are one after another, perfume monopoly, hard yellow paper monopoly, apricot flower wine monopoly, and the people who enter and exit the store are endless, Business is booming.

"Rokuro, what is this?" Li Hui pointed to the Shengtang Qianzhuang not far in front and said, Li Huifei, who was awake today, pestered Li Su to take him to Yizhou City, Li Su had no choice but to take him around Yizhou, and along the way, Li Hui's mouth was not closed.

"Merchants use copper money to trade too cumbersome, this money can be exchanged for copper money tickets, not only easy to carry, but also convenient for large-scale transactions, now the Tang Chamber of Commerce is basically using money tickets to trade." Li Su explained.

Li Hui said, "It turns out that this is the money ticket, I just heard of it, but I didn't expect it to be Liulangming." There was admiration in the words.

Nanshi, Beishi, and Baihuatan have already visited each other, and Li Su was planning to inspect the shipyard today, so he said: "Let's go, take you to see the world." ”

Li Hui now felt that his brain was not enough, so he nodded blankly and said, "Okay." ", rode a horse and followed Li Su.

At present, the shipyards in Yizhou are mainly concentrated on the banks of the two large rivers of the Nanhe River and the Tuojiang River, and during the Tang Dynasty, the goods of Yizhou were the two rivers that went straight down to Yangzhou, creating the saying that Yang Yi Yi Yi Er.

Going out from the south gate, Li Su and Li Hui traveled more than ten miles to the South River, the South River is divided from Dujiangyan, the amount of water is huge, in Li Su's view, there is basically no difference between a river, standing at this end of the South River and looking at that end of the river is like the sea, history has also recorded that because of the huge amount of water in the South River, the Han Dynasty was considered to be the main stream of the Min River, and "Marco Polo's Travels" also recorded that the water surface of the South River is as wide as a sea, which shows the magnificence of the South River at that time.

The shipyard that Li Su brought Li Hui to is the closest government-run shipyard to Yizhou, and it is also the largest shipyard of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, the five huge hull skeletons on the Nanhe River beach were under construction, and there were no less than 2,000 workers coming and going, each craftsman was busy with his own affairs, and he was methodical, Du Zhiping was pointing at the skeleton with a person holding a drawing, and a dark-skinned person standing next to him nodded from time to time.

Standing on the bank of the river, Li Hui's jaw almost dropped, such a behemoth juxtaposed together is simply too shocking, compared to the boat, people are similar to ants' laughter, he has also seen many big boats in the Yellow River, but none of them can be worth one-third of this boat.

Looking at these five treasure ships, Li Su was also excited, what kind of magnificent scene it was when Zheng He set sail together with two hundred giant ships when he went to the Western Ocean.

"Let's go, don't be stunned." Li Su patted Li Hui on the shoulder, and Li Hui followed Li Su towards the river beach as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Li Su went down to the shipyard, and Du Zhiping immediately came to meet him with people.

"Excuse me!" Li Su helped Du Zhiping up and said with emotion: "The progress is not bad, has the position of the steam engine been set, this is the most critical position of the steam ship." ”

Du Zhiping said: "Your Highness, let it go, this is my hard work for a year, and I will definitely not let him deviate." After speaking, Du Zhiping pulled the dark-faced man over and said, "Your Highness, his name is Yunshou, and he has made a lot of contributions to the construction of the treasure ship." ”

Li Su looked at Yun Shou, healthy bronzed skin, at first glance, it was caused by frequent exposure to the sun, his body was thin, but he looked very capable, with straight eyebrows, a round head and a round face. was pulled out by Du Zhiping, and Yun Shou was a little overwhelmed.

"If this king is not mistaken, you used to make a living by fishing." Li Su looked at Yun Shoudao a few times.

Yun Shou was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "How does Your Highness know?" ”

"Fishy!" Li Su said with a smile.

Yun Shou suddenly realized that the clothes he was wearing were still the same clothes as when he was fishing before, and there was a faint fishy smell on them, which was a little embarrassing.

Du Zhiping thought that Li Su didn't look down on Yun Shou, and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, although Yun Shou used to make a living by fishing, he knew more shipbuilding skills than those old craftsmen, and there were many difficulties encountered in the construction of this treasure ship, which were solved by Yun Shou, so I asked him to be my deputy, and I haven't told His Highness about this matter." ”

"If it's a talent, you have to be promoted, you don't have to report this matter to me, since the construction of the treasure ship is handed over to you, it's up to you here." What these technicians need most is unconditional support, and Li Su is moving closer to this.

Du Zhiping was moved in his heart and said to Yun Shou: "Thank you Your Highness yet." Li Suken, this Yunshou is equivalent to officially joining the palace.

Yun Shou reacted, and was about to kneel down for Li Su, Li Su helped him up and asked: "Du Zhiping values you so much, presumably you have some real skills, but this king is very curious, you are a fisherman, why are you so proficient in the construction of ships." ”
