Chapter 307: Destroying the Heavenly Creatures
Li Chongyi looked at Li Yong with a proud face, since Li Yong returned to Chang'an, he compared all the young people in Chang'an, all the young people in Chang'an will almost hear a sentence when they are beaten, you look at Li Yong, you look at you, of course, no matter who is convinced of Li Yong, he Li Chongyi is no exception, it is because of convincing, so Li Chongyi is excited and proud, and finally once he can compare to Li Yong, Li Yong can't recognize the white stacked flowers, but he Li Chongyi recognizes it, Tomorrow he will call Cheng Chumo and all of them out to brag about it, in fact, he thinks he can blow it for a whole year, Li Chonghui couldn't help but glance at his brother and muttered in a low voice.
"If it weren't for the white stacked flowers planted at home, would you know it? Why are you embarrassed to laugh at your brother-in-law? ”
Although his brother has always loved him very much, he still firmly stands on Li Yong's side, not only because of Li Yong's brother-in-law, but because Li Yong destroyed the harmony, if it weren't for Li Yong to come forward, he has had a heart to be a ranger since he was a child, and his favorite thing is to fight unevenly, he thinks every day about how to be like Li Yong one day, fighting the sword world, and because of this matter, Li Xiaogong interrupted I don't know how many sticks, white stacked flowers? This thing is called white stacked flowers? Alas, I didn't learn history well, no wonder the caravan in the Western Regions has not been found, it turns out that the name is not right? Li Yong didn't care about the proud Li Chongyi, but leaned over to look at it carefully, and even stretched out his hand to touch it, he was very sure that this was obviously cotton!
"It's definitely cotton!"
Li Yong muttered.
"White stacked flowers? I've seen it in a book, and it looks like this, and the book says it's as white as snow, and it looks like a ball of snow, so beautiful! ”
Princess Changle said strangely, at this time Li Xiaogong appeared, and he smiled.
"Li Yong, it's normal that you don't recognize it, this thing is very rare, I heard that it is from the Western Regions, and it is rarely seen in the Central Plains, it is not precious, but it is rare."
Look at it, look at you big-headed ghost, this is cotton! Although he has spent five winters in Datang, Li Yong misses cotton very much, what does he rely on to keep warm in winter in this era? Of course, rich people have mink, but what about ordinary people? What about the poor? Winter is to wear layers of hemp, rich and noble people have stoves, there are brocade quilts, what about poor people? There is no stove, no brocade quilt, only linen, and reeds are stuffed in the linen. But with cotton is different, cotton can be planted in any land, can be planted in the wasteland, planted can be harvested, can be called the cheapest and warmest thing in the cold winter, not only can be stuffed into clothes, stuffed into the quilt to keep out the cold, but also can be woven into cotton cloth, this is a good thing! Li Yong has always wanted to find cotton, but he has never found it, he didn't expect to find cotton in his other father-in-law's Hejian County Palace, and it was planted by this old man in the garden as a rare flower ornamentation, it is a tyrannical thing, I really want to beat Li Xiaogong's dog head! But he didn't dare, no matter how he said it, he was also the father of his second wife.
"Lord Taishan, where did you get this white stacked flower?"
Li Yong turned his head and asked, with a hint of seriousness in his eyebrows, Li Xiaogong recalled.
"White stacked flowers? It seems that when I bought orchids, a Hu merchant gave me a few seeds, saying that they were white stacked flowers, and the flowers were as white as snow, but they were also novel, and when I came back, I casually asked people to plant them in flower pots, but I didn't expect them to grow. ”
Li Yong hurriedly asked.
"Can Lord Tarzan still find the merchant?"
Li Xiaogong shook his head and replied.
"Where to find this, he is a businessman, and now he may be in the Western Regions, maybe he may die in the Western Regions."
Li Yong couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, he was very disappointed, if he could find the merchant in the Western Regions, he could spend a lot of money to buy a batch of seeds from the merchant, and it wouldn't be long before the cotton could spread in Datang, with his woolen sweater, the people of Datang would not have to experience the bitter cold in winter, and I don't know how many people in Datang died of freezing in the cold winter, after all, in this era, maybe a wind chill can kill people, seeing Li Yong's sigh, Li Xiaogong patted Li Yongxiao's shoulder and laughed.
"What are you sighing for? Like this white stacked flowers? What if you can't find the merchant, you can just move these white stacked flowers back. ”
Everyone can see that Li Yong is very interested in this white stacked flower and likes it very much, so Li Xiaogong has already made up his mind to give the white stacked flower to Li Yong, Princess Changle said politely.
"Uncle Junwang, what's so embarrassing?"
Since Lang Jun likes it, it's nothing to accept these white stacked flowers, it was not precious originally, it can only be regarded as rare, and Princess Changle doesn't care much about it, but it should be polite or okay, polite? What's polite? Li Yong was afraid that Li Xiaogong would regret it, after all, this is related to the common people in the world! Li Yong hurriedly said.
"Then thank you Lord Taishan, then I will move to the carriage and take it away when I leave."
Princess Changle was slightly stunned, does Lang Jun value this white stacked flower? You weren't even polite? Li Xiaogong couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Or you kid is happy, what are we polite to our son-in-law? If you like anything in this mansion, just move away, but if you fancy this mansion, the old man will send you without saying a word. ”
Li Chongyi and Li Chonghui don't have any opinions, not to mention that Li Chongyi doesn't care about this white stacked flower at all, even if it is really a treasure in the mansion, he also has the same thoughts as the old man, if Li Yong likes something, just move away, even if you don't talk about friendship, Li Yong's kindness to their county palace, they all see it in their eyes and remember it in their hearts, if it weren't for Li Yong taking their county palace to run to the sea, then there is a county palace today, so Li Xiaogong directly turned his head and shouted.
"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you come over quickly, move these white stacked flowers to the carriage, be careful with me, this is something my son-in-law likes, if you drop a leaf, your legs will be discounted."
Li Xiaogong and Li Chongyi are very happy, it is not easy to find something that Li Yong likes, but I didn't expect to meet it today, Li Yong was not polite, but said seriously.
"Lord Taishan, please help me inquire and see if I can find the merchant, Lord Taishan, please!"
Li Yong hugged his fists very seriously, and Li Xiaogong also noticed that the white stacked flowers might have other uses for Li Yong, he smiled.
"What's polite to the old man, I'll let the housekeeper inquire, but don't get your hopes up, the merchants of Chang'an City come and go, and the merchants from the Western Regions are far away, and it is difficult to meet them again."
Li Yong nodded and replied.
"I know, try your luck!"
In fact, Li Yong's mentality has also adjusted at this time, no matter whether he finds the merchant or not, at least he finds cotton, and when these cotton seeds are born, he will plant them again next year, and the accumulation of year after year will always make the cotton spread, but it will take longer. Five white stacked flowers are neatly placed in the carriage, each of which Li Yong regards as a treasure, but five is still too few, how long will it take to spread cotton throughout the Tang Dynasty? So Li Yong is still a little dissatisfied in his heart, if only he could get more white stacked flowers, corn can be found, the corn in Huating County has been planted with hundreds of acres of land at the beginning, and thousands of acres of land can be planted next year, and it will be promoted to the imperial court for large-scale planting next year, but cotton is only a few plants, when can it be planted on a large scale like corn? Just these few cotton seeds, not even a single acre of land will be planted next year, so, for Li Yong, the more cotton the better, the larger the base, the more it will be turned, out of the Hejian County Palace, Li Yong said in a deep voice.
"Let's go, let's go to East Market."
Yingluo lifted the curtain of the car, revealing the beautiful face of Princess Changle, and Changle asked in surprise.
"To the East Market? What does Lang Jun want to buy? ”
"Go and ask if there are any white stacked flowers, let the guards escort you back first, or come with me?"
Li Yong asked.
"Of course it's with Lang Jun!"
Princess Changle smiled sweetly, the East Market was bustling, and Li Yong went straight to the gathering place of Hu merchants.
"Oh, Hua Tinghou, what do you want? We've got it all! ”
Hu Shang's eyes lit up when he saw Li Yong, and he immediately sent away the orchid who was about to meet him.
"Are there any white stacked flowers?"
Li Yong asked directly to the point, Hu Shang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, white stacked flowers? What's that? He has pearls, spices, and all kinds of treasures here, but there are no flowers, who comes all the way to Datang to sell flowers?
"Jungong, what is the white stacked flower?"
Hu Shang asked, Li Yong waved his hand, and the guard opened the carriage, revealing the white stacked flowers inside, which were really white flowers! Bai Diehua, I have never heard of it, Hu Shang shook his head regretfully, although he had expected it, but Li Yong was still a little disappointed, and said with a smile.
"You can help Ben Hou inquire, whether there are white stacked flowers or white stacked flower seeds, Ben Hou will buy them with a lot of money!"
Hu Shang heard this and hurriedly agreed, which merchant in Chang'an City doesn't want to climb the big tree of Huatinghou now? Not only because of Huatinghou's power, but mainly because Huatinghou has goods in his hands, glass, roasted tea, spirits, which one is not a priceless deal? Li Yong walked around the entire East Market, asking from door to door, but he didn't buy a single white stacked flower, let alone the seeds of the white stacked flower, most people have never heard of the white stacked flower, even if someone has heard of it, they don't know where it is, looking for the white stacked flower, as Li Yong expected, it is even more difficult, otherwise the caravan has been looking for so many years in the Western Regions and has not found it, except that the name is not right, this thing has no homework to know it, so no one knows, and failed to find the white stacked flower, but Li Yong is not discouraged, Instead, the wind was released, and a heavy reward was offered for white stacked flowers, a thousand white stacked flowers, and if there is another heavy reward for the seeds of white stacked flowers, the person who provided the information could also receive five hundred! What is the concept of a thousand? You can buy more than 20,000 stone rice, a white stacked flower, for 20,000 stone rice, and provide a message can be exchanged for 10,000 stone rice, 10,000 stone rice! How many lifetimes is enough for a family? After Li Yong left the East Market, the entire East Market was boiling! Many people are asking what kind of flower is the white stacked flower? What does a white stacked flower look like? Of course, some people muttered in their hearts, why did Huatinghou spend so much money to reward white stacked flowers? So there was news circulating in the market, because Princess Changle liked white stacked flowers, Huating Hou smiled for Pomeranians and offered a heavy reward for white stacked flowers, in the master room, Princess Changle couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the rumors outside the maid, and pouted.
"What does this have to do with me? Am I such an unreasonable person? ”
Seeing Li Yong walking in, Princess Changle couldn't help asking.
"Did Lang Jun hear the rumors outside?"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"I heard that, your smile is worth a thousand gold, come, give the uncle a smile!"
The surrounding maids couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and Princess Changle couldn't help but laugh, and then pouted.
"Lang Jun doesn't explain it, and the outside may think I'm a bad face."
Li Yong said with a smile.
"It's not that serious, this kind of rumor explanation is not clear, and it won't be long before the rumor will be self-defeating."
"What is Lang Jun doing with a high reward for white stacked flowers? It shouldn't just be cherry blossom viewing, right? ”
Changle asked curiously, at first she thought that Li Yong just liked white stacked flowers, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, Li Yong said mysteriously.
"Cherry blossoms? That is, the Hejian County Palace's tyrannical creatures! That's a good thing! ”
Good stuff? What exactly is the use? Princess Changle was very curious, but no matter how she coquettished Li Yong, she kept selling Guanzi, but soon Li Yong couldn't laugh, because for several days, he didn't receive a single white stacked flower, and even, no one came to provide news, Li Yong looked at the room of silver money that was prepared and was a little sad, my money is ready, you should come quickly! Hurry up and get my money away! I think it's an eyesore when I see this, but you're here to move! However, there is no one to move, Li Yong believes that the matter of the heavy reward has spread to every corner of Chang'an City, but there is still no one to exchange for the white stacked flowers, and no one even comes to provide news, is there no white stacked flower in the entire Chang'an, or is the person who has the white stacked flower disdainful of that thousand guan?
"Let out the rumors, a white stacked flower will be 10,000 yuan, and those who provide accurate information will be rewarded with 1,000 yuan."
Li Yong commanded, and the housekeeper Yu Fu was stunned when he heard it, 10,000 white stacked flowers? He also saw the white stacked flowers, which were indeed as white as snow, but was it worth 10,000? Is it worth 200,000 stone of grain?
"Master Hou, isn't it too much to offer a reward of 10,000 yuan for a white stacked flower?"
Yu Fu asked hesitantly.
"I offer a reward of 1,000 guan, not a single plant, not even a single news, which shows that there is no white stacked flowers in Chang'an City at all, even if there are a few, but, the world is big, there will definitely be white stacked flowers, I offer a reward of 10,000 guan to cause a great sensation, the news will spread, businessmen are profit-seeking, someone will definitely transport white stacked flowers or seeds to Chang'an, and at that time, my reward has ended."
Li Yong explained with a smile, Yu Fu suddenly heard it, this is called buying a horse with a thousand gold, it has caused such a big sensation, someone will definitely send Bai Diehua to Chang'an in the coming year, and at what price do you want to receive it at that time, it is not Hou Ye's final say? Yu Fu, who was relieved, immediately arranged for someone to release the news, originally Li Yong's heavy reward for white stacked flowers caused a sensation in Chang'an, as soon as the news came out, the whole Chang'an was boiling, 10,000 yuan to buy a white stacked flower, what is the magic of this white stacked flower? How beautiful is the white stacked flower? What is the effect of white stacked flowers? Can it still raise the flesh and bones of the dead?
