The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 395
"This road is really safe."

Wu Hua and Wu Shun in the carriage poked their heads out and were amazed at the spacious and smooth road.

The road is really too smooth, and the snow on the road is cleaned very cleanly. Even if the wooden wheels are pressed on it, it is as stable as walking on the ground.

They had traveled all the way from Lizhou back to Chang'an City, and the roads on that road really gave them a lot of trouble.

"It is said that this is from the male cultivator in Lantian County." He signaled the two daughters to get back into the car. It was cold outside. "From Lijiazhuang to the outside of Chang'an City, some people say it is even flatter than Zhuque Street."

"Aye." Wu Hua's eyes flickered, "I heard that there are many kerosene lamps on Zhuque Street. When they are lit at night, they are as dazzling as the stars in the sky. At the last gathering, the sister of Lu Guogong's family said that they all installed lamps at home. kerosene lamps, lit at night
Afterwards, the whole mansion was like daytime. "

The samurai Xun certainly understands his daughter's small thoughts, and he also wants to use kerosene lamps in his home.

But the problem is, that thing is old and expensive.

Because it is made of glass and refined iron, a kerosene lamp is directly priced at five hundred cash.

For nobles, five hundred Wen is naturally not expensive.

But this is only the price of a kerosene lamp, and if you want to light it in the whole mansion, you need at least one hundred and eighty lamps to barely suffice.

One hundred and ten strings of money can be obtained, but if you want to use this kerosene lamp, you have to buy oil to burn it.

He has already asked, a hundred oil lamps will burn hundreds of kerosene in one night.

After a month, at least ten or twenty pennies have been spent.

Although the Wu family is an honorable family, it is too distressing to spend so much just for lighting the lamps.

If you only buy a few, you will not only lose face but also lose face.

Wu Hua sensed his father's embarrassment, and continued, "Sister Lu's family said that their family bought seeds from the man in Lantian County for greenhouses and so on. They grew melons, fruits and vegetables in the fields in winter and made a lot of money. .”

"Ah."

The samurai Xun nodded, he already knew about this matter, and that man from Lantian County was by no means an ordinary person.

This visit in the past is a good way to win relationships.

Looking at the loose cotton coat on the second daughter, Samurai Yi showed a smile on his face. It would be great if he could reach this level of relationship.

While thinking, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Pushing open the window in doubt, he saw Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang brothers riding horses, came over angrily and yelled, "Aye, someone stopped our carriage."

The samurai Xun who got out of the carriage saw a group of people with red cloths tied to their arms not far ahead. They only stopped their own carriage, but they didn't care about other people and vehicles passing by on the road. The samurai Xun was very angry, "What do you mean by this? At the feet of the emperor
, Do you want to be a thief? "

"The nobleman is joking." A person came out from the opposite side and saluted the warrior Xun, "We are from the road guard team of Lijiazhuang. According to the owner's rules, all people should keep to the right when they are on the road. The nobleman's carriage is in the middle of the road. In the middle of the road, it violated the owner's regulations."

"it's so funny!"

Over there, Wu Yuanqing immediately yelled, "Everyone can follow the great road in the world. We can walk as we like, so what kind of Zhuang supervisor can do it? Maybe he can build this road."

The faces of the road guards became serious, "This road was indeed built by the owner of my family. It was originally intended to facilitate the guests going to Li's village. If you speak rudely, please go back."

Where did Wu Yuanqing, who had been domineering in Lizhou, ever get this kind of anger? The head of Guizhou dared to talk to him like this!
Just when he was about to get mad, the warrior Xun gave him a stare and told him to shut up.

The samurai Xun had been watching the people and vehicles passing by on the road just now, and it turned out that they all walked on the right side.

People are not making trouble for no reason, but it is true.

Of course, nobles don't talk about these things, what they can respect is strength.

Besides, this road was built by others, so if you want to disobey their rules, it's fine, just don't go.

"What a bother." Samurai Xun nodded and said, "We are from Duke Ying's residence, and we are here to visit Master Li."

I thought that if the name of Duke Ying was reported, the heads of Guizhou would be respectful, but the Wu family didn't know that there are too many princes and lords who have been placed in Lijiazhuang these days. Come on, they are already numb.

"I have been notified." Everyone in the road guard team moved out of the way, "Please keep to the right for your carriage, Lijiazhuang is two miles ahead."

The samurai Xun was bored, so he went back to the carriage sullenly, and told the driver to "keep to the right."

"Aye."

Wu Hua pushed the warrior Xun, and pointed to the field outside the window, "Look at the many houses over there."

The samurai Xun followed his reputation, and in the field on one side of the road, there were many neatly arranged sheds in a row.

The samurai Xun had inquired about this matter before, and he even went to the field of a certain honorable family who had a good relationship, and saw these greenhouses.

"This is a good thing." The samurai sighed repeatedly, "Nowadays in Chang'an City, you can eat fruits and vegetables in winter, thanks to these. The vegetables in the rice porridge you drink in the morning are produced by this kind of greenhouse."

Both Wu Hua and Wu Shun's pretty faces were amazed, and Wu Hua asked, "Why didn't it exist before, and why didn't it exist in Lizhou?"

"This is because no one understood it before." The warrior Xun said with a smile, "it was a good thing made by the man from Lantian County. And he didn't hide his secrets. He offered the seeds and helped build a greenhouse. You must know if you are reluctant to sell it. , just sell these melons, fruits and vegetables in one winter

You can buy dozens of houses in Chang'an City.Li Yunze is a man who should be called a hero. "

Samurai Xun still doesn't know enough about this.

Also because he took him to see the honorable man who had a greenhouse in his field, he concealed a lot for the sake of face.

Previously, the nobles spent a lot of money to buy seeds and greenhouses from Li Yunze, and even paid a service fee to borrow skilled farmers from Li Family Village to guide how to serve the crops.

In winter, a large number of fruits and vegetables are on the market on a large scale. The nobles are looking forward to making a lot of money, but in the end, almost no one buys them.

The nobles were very surprised by this, and they sent someone to investigate and found out that they sold vegetables and fruits in winter as gold, and who could afford it for ordinary people?

What's even more exaggerated is that the melons, fruits and vegetables sold in Li Yunze's big market and Hedilao restaurants in various cities are still at the original price, which is ridiculously cheap.

In this case, it is of course impossible for People's House to buy them.

At this time, if it is operated with capital, it is first to ask Li Er to come forward, let Li Yunze sit down with the nobles and have a good talk.

Raise prices together, reduce supply to promote a market where scarcity is more expensive, or hunger marketing or something.

Then everyone negotiates the share price, everyone earns money together, and we can make progress together.

If Li Er is unwilling to come forward, they can either threaten, lure, or simply kill him, the guy who affects the income.

In a word, try every means to control the cost and increase the price, and squeeze out the last copper in the pockets of the people of Datang.

However, none of these methods can be used here.

In Datang, it is not money that has the final say, but the emperor.

Not only did Li Er not help Xungui, but he gave Li Yunze all the vegetables and fruits produced in the palace to sell on his behalf.

The price can't go up, and the supply is so large, and the nobles themselves don't have special stores for large-scale sales.

A large number of fruits and vegetables are collected, but they can only be piled up in their own homes.

If you think you are unlucky, you have to go to Li Yunze to discuss, either sell it all to him at a low price, or negotiate a share and then sell it in big markets and restaurants.

If you are not reconciled, then you can only bear it.

At the beginning, it would be honorable to take these things to the homes of relatives and friends as gifts.

But then there were too many, so many people were giving gifts, it was too much to eat, and they couldn't even give gifts.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer nobles who were still carrying them, and most of them chose to sell them to Li Yunze at a low price, so that they could make some money back.

The samurai Xun only knows that there are plenty of fruits and vegetables in winter, but of course he doesn't know the story behind it.

He has only just boarded Li Er's boat now, and he is still a pink and tender newcomer, and he will be gradually accepted after passing the test.

"Aye, that carriage is so beautiful."

Wu Shun, who was lying on another window, suddenly raised his finger and pointed at the gorgeous carriage coming from the opposite side and exclaimed.

Before the samurai Xun could speak, Wu Hua responded enviously, "You didn't go to the poetry meeting last time. I don't know. They all rode in this beautiful four-wheeled carriage, and only I rode in my family's two-wheeled cart." .”

Hearing this, the warrior Xun also smiled wryly.

Nowadays, the luxurious four-wheeled carriage in Chang'an City has become the standard equipment for nobles, and family members will be looked down upon if they don't take this kind of carriage when they go out.

It is said that Wei Zheng has repeatedly criticized extravagance, but it is useless.

When I come to Lijiazhuang this time, I have to order a carriage of this kind.

There is no way, the row of Xungui's family must be supported, otherwise they will be expelled from the ranks of Xungui.

The warrior Xun glanced at the badge on the gorgeous carriage that was driving towards him, and recognized it at a glance. It was the carriage of Duke Junji's mansion of Lu State.

It seems that they should come out from Lijiazhuang, and they don't know what they are going to talk about.

While thinking about something, Wu Hua here shouted again, "Aye, look, there are so many cows."

The samurai Xun looked up and was immediately frightened.

The pastures in the distance are all densely packed with cattle, the sheer number of which makes one's scalp tingle, and at a glance, there are more than a thousand heads.

"That's true."

Although he had heard that Li Jiazhuang was rich in Guanzhong before he said it, the samurai Xun didn't really believe it.

After all, Guan Zhongxun has countless rich and wealthy families, and a mere Zhuangzi is nothing.

But looking at the wealth all the way now, and thinking about the many restaurants and markets in Chang'an City, I dare not say that it is compared with those aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, but it is much richer than most of the nobles. At least he is much richer than a poor man like him.

Looking at the two daughters who were jumping happily and pointing outside from time to time, a thought came to the warrior Xun's mind.

"The emperor attaches great importance to him. He has a bright future. He is still so young and has never been married. If he can become my good son-in-law with his wealth and great ability."

In fact, the reason why he brought both of his daughters was because of this thought.

At the emperor's banquet earlier, Li Yunze looked at Wu Hua differently, which moved him quite a bit.

Bringing the eldest daughter Wushun with him is naturally a lot of insurance.

Now that he saw the rich and powerful people in Li Family Manor along the way, Samurai Xun was already very moved.

The only problem is that the daughter is still young and has to wait for a few years. I don't know if Li Yunze can bear it.

Worrying about gains and losses, the carriage stopped, and Lijiazhuang finally arrived.
