Chapter 389: I've never seen such a brazen person! (For the alliance leader?) The remainder is more)
This episode did not affect everyone's mood on the surface, and when Li Er came to the oil area, at least he had regained his calm.
The face has been lost, and it's useless to say anything at this time, and I'll repair these bastards after I go back.
"This is soybean oil from soybeans?"
Li Er looked at the glass bottle full of yellow oil, and then looked at the price wooden sign next to him, "It's so cheap?" ”
Compared with the prices of meat oil and sesame oil at this time, the soybean oil and rapeseed oil sold by Li Yunze are quite cheap, so cheap that ordinary people can grit their teeth and buy a bottle to go home.
"Something that is in large quantities is naturally cheaper."
Li Yunze came over and explained, "The oil yield of soybeans and rapeseed is very high, and under the five rounds of continuous pressing of 12 heavy sticks, the oil yield can be close to one and a half. ”
After speaking, he motioned to the many nobles who came over: "This year, I have rented your fields and produced a large amount of soybeans, and the oil supply is sufficient after processing. It's nonsense to supply the whole world, and there are difficulties in supplying the whole pass, but it's still no problem to meet the needs of Chang'an City. ”
Hearing this, Li Er immediately turned around and looked at Li Yunze with an extremely serious expression, "How about I rent you all the fields in the Guanzhong?" ”
Before Li Yunze could speak, Wei Zheng over there had already come out of the crowd, "Absolutely not!" ”
"Although oil is good, it is not as good as grain in any way." Wei Zheng said sincerely: "If all the fields in Guanzhong are used to grow oil, where will the people's rations come from? Oil can't be eaten as a meal! ”
This was very reasonable, and the nobles around him also nodded again and again when they heard this.
It's just that they have already made up their minds in their hearts, and when they plough next spring, they will find a way to get seeds from Li Yunze to plant soybeans and rape flowers.
After all, how can the price of grain be compared with oilseeds, and selling oil can make more money than selling grain.
As for renting land, the rent leased to Li Yunze this year seems to be a lot, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the money he makes from selling things.
In fact, if it weren't for Li Er's suppression, the red-eyed nobles would have wanted to surround Li Jiazhuang and snatch all the good things inside.
After all, it is dominated by the Guanlong military aristocratic group, and their essence will not change.
Li Er and Li Zhi could only suppress it, and they had to wait for Emperor Zetian to slaughter with a knife before they could truly disintegrate the Guanlong nobles.
Thinking of this, a question came to Li Yunze's mind, "How old is Wu Meiniang now?" ”
The matter of handing over all the land in Guanzhong to Li Yunze for planting was temporarily interrupted because of Wei Zheng's opposition.
But this matter still fell in Li Er's heart.
Not only because Li Yunze has made many new crops, but most importantly, the crops produced in Li Yunze's fields are simply astonishing in terms of yield.
It's hard to believe that so many crops can be produced in the fields.
Walking through the oil area, the next is the lifestyle area.
The most conspicuous thing here is the various iron pots that fill the counter.
Originally, the iron pot only appeared in the Song Dynasty, and because of the appearance of the iron pot, the food culture of China developed on a large scale.
In the Zhenguan world, the iron pot appeared early, and Li Yunze had given a large number of iron pots to the Tang Army before, and the nobles here naturally knew about it and bought it.
Not to mention that Li Yunze also uses this thing in the restaurant of One Hundred and Eight Squares.
"Some time ago, Turks visited Lijiazhuang." Li Yunze said with a smile: "When they open their mouths, they are changing a sheep for an iron pot, and they want as many as they want." ”
Li Er knew about this, and Baiqi Si reported it to him, so he didn't speak.
Over there, Wei Zheng asked nervously, "Did you sell the iron pot to the Turks?" ”
"How is that possible?" Li Yunze waved his hand disdainfully: "They can't afford it." ”
Wei Zheng'(ー'′ー)'
What does it mean to be unaffordable?!
The Turkic people have more than a million cattle and sheep, is it possible that you still have a million iron pots?
In addition to the main iron pot, there are many other products in the daily necessities section.
Wooden furniture, glass, cups and bottles, porcelain cutlery, and so on.
Everyone looked strange, the price of glass products and porcelain here is too big a gap compared to that in Baibaozhai in Dongshi.
"I'm not really cheating on you." Facing everyone's questioning eyes, Li Yunze explained seriously, "These are all ordinary public goods, and the ones in Baibao Zhai are all high-quality products." You are all nobles and big people. How can you use the same mass goods as ordinary people? ”
Li Er smiled without saying a word, stepped forward and picked up a snow-white towel to look through.
"Cotton products, very good to use. The price is cheap and the supply is large. Li Yunze came over and explained, "There is no problem with textile technology, the only problem is the insufficient supply of raw cotton for raw materials." ”
"Cotton?"
"The Silk Road was brought from India, that is, Tianzhu, it seems to be called kapok?" Li Yunze's uncertain response: "It was brought over as an ornamental crop, but this kind of Tianzhu cotton fiber is thick and short, and it is not easy to use." I use fine staple cotton here, which has wide adaptability, high yield, long fiber, and good quality. ”
I don't understand many words, but it doesn't prevent Li Er from understanding its usefulness and effect: "Before you gave the cotton clothes in the army..."
"That's right." Li Yunze nodded immediately, "It is a military uniform filled with cotton, which can effectively resist the invasion of wind and cold. ”
Li Er looked around, and sure enough, he saw all kinds of cotton clothes and even horses of cotton cloth at the counter not far away.
I picked up the cotton cloth and earned it, and it felt very thick.
He asked instead, "This cotton..."
"Cotton is a light-loving plant, and you need plenty of sunlight to increase your yield." Li Yunze pointed to the hint: "In my opinion, the Western Regions are the most suitable place to grow this thing. And if it can be made into a large-scale industry, it will play a good role in controlling and stabilizing the Western Regions. ”
"The Western Regions." Li Er's eyes narrowed, his eyes full of longing.
During the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he himself personally arrived in Ganzhou to inspect, and set up counties in the West Sea, Heyuan, Shanshan and the end of the country, completely controlled the southern route to the Western Regions, and officially incorporated this large area into the Central Plains.
After that, there was the great rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the countries of the Western Regions rebelled and took refuge in the Western Turks, and the power of the Tang Dynasty stopped in Liangzhou.
One more thing, at that time, it was Li Er who took the position of governor of Liangzhou.
Before becoming the emperor, Wen Taowu was a very outstanding Li Er, and he really did too many part-time jobs.
As an emperor who wants to make a difference, Li Er will naturally not let go of the Western Regions, and he also wants to expand his territory like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and let the Western Regions return to the embrace of the Central Plains.
"It's a good thing."
In the midst of food, clothing, housing and transportation, clothes are even lined up in front of food, how important is the meaning of keeping out the cold, Li Er is very clear about this, "When I go to the Western Regions, I will promote this thing locally." ”
When he was young, Li Er didn't like to brag much when he didn't drink, especially before he took revenge on the Turks.
But now, in front of Li Yunze, he still said his ambitions and ambitions.
Far away in the Western Regions, that must be taken back!
After cleaning up his mind, Li Er smiled and asked, "Why isn't your honeycomb coal sold here?" ”
"Didn't Your Majesty see you when you were eating before?" Li Yunze responded with a smile, "All restaurants sell honeycomb coal, and the people in the restaurant can buy it directly from the restaurant." ”
Walking through the daily necessities section, you will see the largest non-staple food area.
Looking at the past, the rows of counters are full of all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and even spices, salt, and wine.
Everyone looked at Wei Zheng in unison, because Datang is now forbidden to drink.
Wei Zheng didn't disappoint everyone, and immediately came out with a calm face, "The imperial court ordered a ban on alcohol, and you are openly selling it here?" Ignoring the laws of the court like this, where is the court placed? ”
"Duke Wei misunderstood."
Li Yunze explained with a smile, "The imperial court banned alcohol in order to reduce food consumption, and it should be grain wine that is banned." ”
He stretched out his hand and gestured to the many glass bottles of wine in the wine cabinet, "It's all fruit wine here, and there is no food for making wine from fruit, so it's not prohibited, right?" ”
Wei Zheng is a more sincere person, but he is not an old stubborn.
It can be said that the use of fruit to make wine without grain can be justified.
It's just that he is not a good lake, so he stepped forward and pointed to the glass bottles placed on the long row of counters and said, "This should be grain wine, right?" ”
】
"Wei Gong's words are wrong." Li Yunze, whose expression remained unchanged, explained with a smile: "This is not wine, but alcohol." ”
"Alcohol?"
Wei Zheng, who looked suspicious, asked, "What's the difference?" ”
"Grain wine is drunk, but alcohol is used to heal wounds, which belongs to the category of medicine." Li Yunze, who had a serious face, motioned to Fang Xuanling, "Fang Xiang knows about this matter, and I donated a lot of alcohol to the army to treat sores." ”
Fang Xuanling, who was secretly greeting in his heart, squeezed out a smile and nodded, "That's true, Master Li said that alcohol can be disinfected and reduce the chance of sores and ulcers." ”
"Nonsense!" Wei Zhengqi's beard was trembling, and he pointed to the wooden sign that said 'Liquor' and scolded, "If it is medicinal, why is it placed here in Liquor?" ”
Li Yunze, whose expression remained unchanged, nodded calmly: "It's wrong." ”
Wei Zheng'( ̄_, ̄)'
You and I can't be withered in the sand?!
Over there, Cheng Yanjin had already opened the cap of the bottle, took a deep breath of wine, and said with a satisfied face, "Good thing, the old man has a lot of wounds in the perennial battle, and he needs this thing to heal." Twenty altars first! ”
Smelling the fragrant smell of wine, all the nobles pounced on them like wolves and tigers, shouting that they had injuries on their bodies and needed this elixir to heal.
Wei Zhengqi trembled, he had never seen such a brazen person!
Li Er was noncommittal.
He knew that in Li Yunze's field, no matter what was planted, it had a super high yield, and it was not a big deal to use it to make wine if the output was large enough.
After all, even if there is a prohibition of alcohol, these nobles will continue to eat and drink in secret.
He was interested in the wide variety of drinks.
"What kind of wine is this?"
"It's cider made from apples."
"Where's this?"
"Grapes are made of wine, of course."
"What is this?"
"It's sugar liquor made from sugar, which can also be called rum."
Hearing this, Li Er paused and turned his head to look over, "Sugar? ”
