Chapter 113: Eat the Sea by the Sea
Modern people have a joke that says that ancient people were separated from each other, letters and loves, carriages and horses, and the years were quiet, unlike the high-tech era, where a message and a video made the mystery disappear.
But when Li Mao, a real 21st century guy, sat in the most luxurious carriage and bumped back and forth for several months, he realized that the years were not quiet! On the contrary, he is holding the beauty femoral head and swiping the video at home to blow the air conditioner as a single dog, choose one of the two, to be honest, he would rather be a single person for the rest of his life and order takeout than spend his life in this Tang Dynasty.
"Wangcai, Lao Tzu misses the years of taking the high-speed rail! Can you kid imagine the feeling of being able to reach Lingnan in less than five or six hours? ”
"Huh? Your Highness, you won't be sleeping in the carriage, will you! Chang'an and Lingnan tell each other for thousands of miles, how can they arrive in one day? Unless we can grow wings and fly like a bird in the sky...... Hehe...... Your Highness, you hold on a little longer, the carriage has arrived, it is really bumpy, why don't we change the bridge and sit on it? ”
"Forget it, they are also working hard to carry the sedan chair, and this king can still insist! But when you kid talked about wings, I really reminded the king again, and when we have time, let's make something that can fly in the sky, didn't Zhuge Kongming also create Kongming lanterns? This thermodynamics seems to be able to be built even in ancient times, but the material of this hot air balloon can't be replaced by this king for a while, and I don't know if the sheepskin, cowhide or something can be used, but the glider should still be able to try......"
"Your Highness! Don't stare at me like this, every time you look at me like this, there will be nothing good, so go back and find Zhang Xiaojing! He and his brothers were bold, not afraid of death, and willing to do anything as long as they could earn money! ”
"Fuck you! Don't you usually call brothers and brothers, and have a good relationship? How is this how the brother is used to sell? ”
Li Mao had a sentence with Wangcai by the car window, chatting nonsense without a word! And Zhang Jiuling, who went to arrange a residence in advance after sobering up, seemed to have rushed back with Zhang Xiaojing at this time. When he saw Li Mao and Wangcai chatting, he came over with the sweat on his head.
"Your Highness, good news, good news! When Xia Guan just went to arrange a residence, he and Zhang Huwei went to investigate the situation of ducks and geese raised by the people of Lingnan! Guess how many? Ah, it's more than 500,000! Usually they are placed on the beach, barren mountains to forage freely, the eggs are everywhere, the people in addition to their own food, can not sell at all, this is good, Your Highness, you have come up with a way to pickle salted duck eggs, in the future, you can not be afraid of time to spoil, but also with the business travel to Chang'an Luoyang, Yangzhou and other big cities! The price ......"
"Wait...... Lord Zhang, don't be too excited, this king is curious about whether there are really so many ducks and geese in Lingnan? The daily life of the people is hard, how can they still raise so much, and if there are so many, why not eat? ”
"Where are they willing to eat for themselves! It's just to exchange some grain and cloth, but in the past, they were bought and sold all over Lingnan, and they couldn't be sold for a few dollars, and the roads were rugged and blocked, and they couldn't be shipped out if they wanted to......"
Li Mao looked at Zhang Jiuling and wiped the sweat on his forehead as he spoke, but the sweat still kept coming out like rain! So he casually took out a pot of iced sour plum soup from the carriage and distributed it to everyone.
Zhang Xiaojing and his comrades-in-arms saw that Li Mao could still conjure ice from the carriage so casually on a hot day, and several guys with poor mental quality shouted in shock on the spot.
"Head, Your Highness...... How did he conjure up ice! Look there's smoke on the table! "Something that doesn't come out of nowhere, don't be surprised, Your Highness will reward it quickly, drink it quickly, don't talk too much!"
"It's okay! Everyone has curiosity, this ice is made of saltpeter, the big families in Chang'an City eat ice in summer are pre-dug and stored in the cellar in winter, but the weather in Lingnan is hot all year round like spring, there is no ice to chisel, this king I will do it myself, and some Taoist alchemy will also use this method! But at this time, there should be very few people who know! ”
When Li Mao told the trick of saltpeter ice making, Zhang Jiuling had been listening quietly with the sour plum soup, and frowned unconsciously when he heard it, and then said to Li Mao in a joking tone.
"Your Highness! Although this Taoist family is tolerated by this dynasty, the matter of cultivating immortals and refining pills is purely imaginary, and you won't believe it! ”
"Taoist self-cultivation, some of them are also like Sun Simiao general study of medical science, this king is very optimistic, but like Lord Zhang said that those seeking immortal alchemy, it is nonsense, this king has always been based on seeking truth from facts, seeing is true on the basis, such as this saltpeter ice, since there is merit, then we will use it, boast of some delusions about other talk and abandon it...... Haha......"
"Your Highness is wise, it seems that the lower officials are too talkative, and last night, Your Highness, you said that the cement house can withstand the wind and disaster, and after thinking about it, the lower officials wrote to the court this morning and minded that they also opened a cement workshop in Lingnan, so we don't have to go far and ......."
"Eh, such a trivial matter, why do you bother to read a book, Lord Zhang? Didn't this king say early on that as long as there is anything about the construction of the field, it will be funded by the Shouwang Mansion? Just ask Wangcai to contact the cement workshop in Jiannan Road, and they will send a skilled master to supervise the construction! ”
"This ...... Then the lower official once again thanked Your Highness for the people of Lingnan, but some of the expenses of my Lingnan Prefecture Yamen still have to be appropriately paid, and you can't rely on Your Royal Highness King Shou, so the appearance is too ugly! ”
"Okay, it's all up to you, Lord Zhang, anyway, as long as you handle all the documents required by the government, and lobby the surrounding people and don't make trouble, then set up a primary school and a medical center...... It's not a problem, if they are willing to come and work, this king must also hire Lingnan people first......"
"This, this...... It's good to have money! Zhang Jiuling was so excited that he subconsciously muttered such a sentence, and Li Mao thought that he was going to say something else after hearing it.
"Master Zhang, you say it louder, what's good!" "Huh? No, no, what Xia Guan means is that Your Highness is so willing to spend money, which is really good to hundreds of thousands of people in Lingnan......" "Haha...... Okay, everyone, is really good, if everyone is like Lord Zhang, if everyone thinks about the people in everything, it will be the blessing of the people in the world! Lord Zhang can be the worry of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world! ”
