Chapter 188: The Second Year of Zhenguan

The three-day Shangyuan Festival passed suddenly in the excitement and busyness.

Different from the Shangyuan Festival in previous years, the atmosphere of Chang'an County or Lantian County will be a little colder. There is no way, who made Xinglong Commercial Street a blockbuster, attracting a large number of people who were supposed to spend the festival in the two cities to go there. Especially on the third day, the entire shopping street can already be described as overcrowded.

If Li Anran hadn't asked Li Shimin for help in time, the other party would have sent enough people to maintain law and order. At the same time, I also got some of the talents cultivated in the villa, and I am afraid that this will be the last day of the Yuan Festival, and it will really be a big problem. Moreover, even if this is the case, although there are no major events, small problems are one after another.

For Li Anran, who just hoped that the trial operation of the commercial street would not be too deserted at the beginning, the problems that could be solved with money were not all problems. What's more, Li Shimin's side also sent enough manpower, with the deterrence of the officials, and the reminders and warnings of those who knew about it, either openly or secretly, and indeed no one dared to mess around.

To say that in addition to Li Anran, the merchants who benefited the most were those merchants who were more courageous, settled in the commercial street in advance and participated in the trial operation. Regardless of whether it is a large merchant or a small merchant, as long as it is open for business during the three days of the Shangyuan Festival, even if it is to participate in the event, there are discounts and discounts, but the benefits of business are speechless.

Don't look at the profit of a single business, it has dropped a lot, and even paid a sum of money to buy invoices. But after three days, I counted the accounts, and the dumbfounded profits on the account books. Many merchants couldn't help but check the account book again and again several times, and finally decided that they were not dazzled, and they were also extremely glad that they had made such a wise decision.

As the news spread, the shops on the commercial street and the stalls and shops on the farmers' market became more and more popular. It's a pity that after experiencing the popularity of the Shangyuan Festival for three days, Xiangyun, who made adjustments in time, did not continue to do any free trial operation in the first month, and even the rent has increased a lot.

But even so, after experiencing the madness of the Shangyuan Festival. But any business whose brain has not been caught by the door. If you miss this opportunity now, I'm afraid it will be impossible to settle in the future. Therefore, it doesn't matter if there is no free trial opening discount, it is still a lot of rent increase. I can only pinch my nose and admit it. Who let themselves miss the opportunity. Deserve.

After the busiest 16th day of the first lunar month passed, the effect of the trial operation was a little too good. Li Anran had to announce that the commercial street needed to take stock of the three days of the trial opening of the Shangyuan Festival. Temporary closure for two days is required. After the inventory is over, it will be the official opening time, and there will be more promotions and promotions.

However, when Xinglong Commercial Street began to take stock of the three-day trial operation, the impact of the Shangyuan Festival began to radiate to the entire Datang territory over time.

For Li Anran, these "small" things naturally don't need to be asked by himself. It was only after the inventory was completed that the corresponding rectification orders were given for some deficiencies in this trial operation. At the same time, we do not forget to supplement the snacks, snacks and related daily necessities that have opened the market and are very popular with the people of Datang.

"By the way, young master, Steward Wang asked me to ask you, seeing that spring is coming, and the land in this village has also been resting for a while, how do you plan to arrange it this year?" Xiangyun, who was sitting behind the desk and had just finished reviewing an account book, suddenly said while drinking water.

"The land in the Zhuangzi? This year? Li Anran, who was enjoying Su Xiaomei's intimate service, was stunned for a moment and said.

"yes, you can't just keep growing grass there to feed your livestock, can you? However, the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep in the village are growing very well, and if you want to grow crops in the field, it is time to consider getting a place to raise them. Xiangyun, who put down the teacup, said.

Seeing that it is already the second year of Zhenguan, that is, 628 years. Li Anran knows very well that this year is a time of many disasters and difficulties for Datang. First, there was a great drought, and then a locust plague, which made the people near Chang'an miserable. According to the observation of various aspects in the past few days, I did find some clues, so I shook my head and said:

"This matter, I really let you talk about it, the land in Zhuangzi, I don't plan to plant anything this year, anyway, it's a white seed. I'll get another batch of grass seeds when I go back, except for those vegetable fields that I grow at home, you let people plant them, and then come back to buy a thing of chickens, ducks and geese, don't worry about the quantity, buy as much as possible, I believe it won't be long before it can be used. ”

Xiangyun can still understand the purchase of poultry and livestock, after all, there are more and more people in Zhuangzi, and the daily consumption of grain, fish and meat is not a small number. Moreover, although the investment promotion of the commercial street showed a blowout after the Shangyuan Festival, there are still many industries in the villa, and a lot of materials in this area can be digested every day.

But what is the white seed when it is planted, Xiangyun didn't understand it at all, so he didn't care about the things that had not been solved in front of him, and asked, "Young master, why do you say this?" ”

"You don't need to ask more about this, you will naturally understand when the time comes, and for now, you should do what I just said." Even if he said it now, it was useless, and Li Faran didn't bother to explain, but said again: "I will bring a batch of improved poultry from the upper realm when I go back, you remember to let people accept it." ”

"Yes, young master." Seeing that the words had come to this point, Xiangyun, who knew his young master's personality and work habits, didn't ask any more. However, I kept in mind the words that I was also a white race, and I was going to find time to think about it. After all, although I don't know why I would say this, it is not a good thing to understand it in a literal sense.

And Li Anran, after being reminded about the fields of the villa, couldn't help but shift his attention to the major events that happened in the Tang Dynasty in the second year of Zhenguan, that is, in 628. As a result, it was nothing if I didn't pay attention, and when I paid attention, I found that in April, the Khitan chieftain led his troops to surrender to Tang.

To say that this is also a good thing, but Jieli, the Khan of the Eastern Turks, sent an envoy to Tang to ask for the exchange of Liang Shidu for Khitan, but was rejected by Li Shimin, Taizong of Tang. Because this Zhilu Dao Turkic state was in chaos and was unable to protect Liang Shidu, he made an edict to surrender Liang Shidu, but Liang Shidu refused.

So Li Shimin sent Shi Liu Min, the governor of Xiazhou, and Sima Liu Lancheng to try to make the Liang division surrender. Liu Min and others sent small groups of cavalry to trample on the crops of Liang Shidu many times, and sent people to Liang Shidu's side to carry out counter-plots, so that the monarchs and ministers of Liang Shidu were suspicious of each other, so many people secretly surrendered to Tang.

And Li Zhengbao, a famous general of Liang Shidu, and others plotted to capture Shidu, but the matter was leaked. Liu Min saw that the time had come, and asked Taizong for troops, and Taizong immediately sent Chai Shao, the general of the right guard, and Xue Wanjun, the young eunuch in the palace, to attack the division capital, and sent Liu Min to defend the east city of Shuofang to force the Liang division capital. As a result, the division was defeated by Liu Lancheng first, and at this time, the Turks sent troops to the rescue, but they were defeated by Chai Shao.

Later, because Shuofang was besieged, the city soon ran out of grain and grass, and Liang Luoren, a cousin of Shidu, killed Shidu with "righteous annihilation", and finally descended to Tang with Shuofang, and was later designated as Xiazhou.

For such a thing as fighting, Li Anran really has no sexual interest. But although Liang Guo is not even a small country, at most it is just a bandit who occupies a few cities, but there are many good things in the territory where the other party is located. For example, coal, oil, natural gas, high territory, etc., among which coal and oil are the most critical.

Although Li Anran can now rely on modern time and space to purchase relevant materials, it is not a long-term solution after all. Moreover, once the follow-up development plan comes to the door one after another, the demand in all aspects will be greater and greater, and even if the whereabouts of the goods can be cleaned through some means and channels, it is not troublesome after all.

As for the idea of why you will move this aspect, it is actually very simple. Aside from the fact that the orbit of Datang space-time is different from the original, the greater the possibility that he will be able to get more benefits. If you can build a sound industrial foundation for yourself as soon as possible, even if you can't travel back to modern time and space one day, you don't have to worry about future development.
