The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 396 Either pay money or work hard

After getting out of the carriage, the first impression the samurai saw when he saw it was, is this the East Market or the West Market?

On both sides of the spacious and flat street, there are shops one after the other, and they sell almost everything by looking at the signboards.

Behind the shops, there are mostly wide and tall warehouses. Many carriages are loaded with various goods, and they shuttle back and forth between the shops and the warehouses.

The streets were equally lively, with teams of horse-drawn carts, ox carts and even manpower carrying the goods on their shoulders, carrying the goods purchased from Lijiazhuang along the road.

In front of each shop, there are stalls selling breakfast, repairing wheels, selling hot tea, selling sugar kneaders, horse racing selling tricks, selling sugar skewers, and so on.

There is no one in Datang here, and it is encouraged to set up a stall and start a business to support the family.

People coming and going, cars running like running water, yelling, greetings and laughter, bargaining and many other sounds gathered together, isn't it what the West Market looks like.

"Dare to ask, but Ying Guogong is in person?" Zuo Hong, who was full of flesh, making the wound on his face even more ferocious, stepped forward to salute with a smile. Store it here, Duke Ying please follow me."

The food in Lijiazhuang is so good, you can eat meat every day, and you can eat even more.

Zuo Hong works as a housekeeper in Lijiazhuang. Apart from other aspects, his figure has definitely grown horizontally and gained a lot of weight.

The warrior Xun looked at the smiling Zuo Hong, looked at the flesh and wounds on his face, and thought it would be better not to smile, because it was scary.

"Yeah." He nodded and signaled everyone to follow along.

Wu Yuanshuang looked around and yelled angrily, "Since you haven't arrived yet, why don't you let me wait to ride the horse?"

Zuo Hong gave him a slightly surprised look, but he still explained, "There are a lot of people, cars, and goods here, and riding a horse will only increase the traffic pressure."

Wu Yuanqing then shouted, "I'm waiting for Xungui, just let them make way."

After saying this, Zuo Hong's face darkened, "Even if Lu Guogong and others came, they also dismounted at the place before."

The warrior Xun hurriedly told his stupid son to shut up, then changed the subject and asked with a smile, "This place is so prosperous, even the west market in the city won't let it go. Why don't you see laborers?"

Ligong is to carry big bags, help people transport goods and deliver goods to earn some hard work and money.

"There are no laborers in Lijiazhuang."

Zuo Hong said proudly, "Everyone has work to do. They are well fed, clothed and well sheltered, and no one knows how to do hard work."

After finishing speaking, he explained a little bit, "Most of the people who come here to buy things are from various villages and towns. During the slack season in their villages, some idle laborers come to carry the goods, and they don't need help from others."

"Aye."

Wu Hua tugged Samurai Xun's hand, and pointed to the candy maker's booth with his eyes.

The warrior Xun smiled slightly, and pulled the two sisters over.

While waiting for the craftsmen to do their work, the warrior Xun looked around and asked Zuo Hong, "When I was in Lizhou, I saw many people making trouble in the Jianghu. There are so many people in the Jianghu here, but I have never seen a fast arrester. The village is not afraid of making trouble." ?"

Zuo Hong was slightly surprised, what happened to our village is none of your business.

But after all, he was a visiting guest, so he explained, "Perhaps the Duke knows that there are too many good things in Zhuangzi, not to mention people from the Jianghu, even Turkic people and Tuyuhun people have come here quietly. Your Majesty attaches great importance to Zhuangzi, so he arranged secretly

There are many guards, so it may be said that this sugar maker is a hero of Baiqisi. "

"As for those who dare to make trouble, they have already been arrested and sent to the coal mines. When winter comes, there is a severe shortage of coal. There are not enough people to send to the coal mines. Those who are left now should be cautious for fear of being arrested. The coal mine can't come out."

The samurai suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

With the emperor's attention, and secretly dispatching elite guards, of course there is no need to arrest them quickly.

Wu Hua and Wu Shun got the sugar figurine, laughed and followed Samurai Xun and others to move on.

When the crowd gradually went away, the man who made sugar stared at Zuo Hong's back and said sweetly, "You criticize me, you almost cheated me."

I don't know if he is a hero, but he really belongs to Baiqisi.

Finally came to the end of the road, this is the mansion of Li Yunze, the owner of Li Family Village.

It is said that the environment affects people, and Li Yunze's travels across the world are basically in the atmosphere of Chinese culture to receive influence, so he naturally tends to this environment.

As for the European style, this move, that posture, I just don't bother to look at it.

The rebuilt mansion is in a completely Chinese style, with pavilions, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, red bricks, blue tiles, rockery gardens and gardens.

"There is still running water in this weather?"

When passing by a garden, the samurai Xun was really surprised to see that there was not only running water flowing in the pool under such weather, but even fish swimming in the water.

Even though he had seen too many guests visiting, he was surprised by this, Zuo Hong still nodded proudly in response, "This is the heat circulation system designed by our owner, and the whole village is as warm as spring in winter."

Wu Yuanqing curled his lips over there, "Isn't it just a hot spring, treat me as if I haven't seen it before."

"To shut up!"

The samurai Xun was really angry. He said such words in other people's homes, and he had a problem in his head. "The hot springs smell of sulfur, and most of them come from the mountains. What kind of hot springs are these? If you don't understand, just shut up and don't speak!"

Zuo Hong snorted, led the way with a sullen face and stopped talking.

When he came to the living room, Zuo Hong signaled, "The owner of my family is entertaining distinguished guests. Everyone, please rest here for now."

Brother Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang wanted to complain again, but they were stared back by the warrior Xun.

After all, he is a dude who grew up being flattered in Lizhou. After coming to Chang'an City with many honors, it is inevitable that he will feel disappointed.

It was natural to take Li Yunze, who was only a magistrate, as a target to vent his dissatisfaction with.

After all, although his title is low, his face, strength and financial resources are far superior to the son of a duke, so how can he not be jealous.

After Zuo Hong left, someone brought tea.

Looking at the tea leaves in the glass cup, which gradually spread out, the samurai admired, "When I was in Lizhou last year, there was a caravan transporting this kind of fried tea. At that time, it was called Lijiazhuang Lijiazhuang. Until now Only then did I know that it was actually sold from here.

"

Seeing the admiration on the old father's face, the two Wu Yuanshuang brothers became more and more unhappy, "It's just a small county boy, but he has such a big air. I didn't even show my face when I came to visit."

The samurai Xun was also a little puzzled, he had sent the greeting card in advance, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't be so negligent.

That kid doesn't look like a person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, presumably there are really distinguished guests in front of him.

Wu Hua, who was licking the sugar figure, was not interested in caring about her brother's little thoughts, but she was very interested in the many decorations in this room.

The ground is a thick plush carpet, which is as soft as stepping on a cloud.

The utensils for drinking tea on the table are all transparent glass, which is pleasing to the eye when viewed crystal clear.

She has seen this thing before. When many honorable daughters gather, there are many female relatives drinking juice from glass cups to show off.

Wu Hua pretended not to see it at the time, but he was extremely envious in his heart.

She wants to have what others have, and even better!
In this cold weather, the room is as warm as spring, and there are many blooming flowers around.

Not only is it blooming beautifully, but also the fragrance of Qinxiang makes people feel like spring breeze.

She has no interest in or understands antique calligraphy and painting, but the big skylight on the roof and the glass windows on the wall attract her attention.

She likes everything that is crystal clear and beautiful.

After waiting for quite a while, Li Yunze did not come out to receive him.

Back in Chang'an City these days, Brother Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, who were angry because of the disparity in status and treatment, could hardly bear it anymore.

It's really hateful for a mere county man to be so decisive!
Li Yunze finally came out, accompanied by an old Taoist priest wearing a shabby Taoist robe.

Wu Yuanqing, who was full of anger, immediately went up against the table, "Li Yunze! You are really trustworthy. Our Wu family came to visit, but you ignored us and went to accompany an old Taoist priest instead."

Before he finished speaking, the slap of the warrior Xun over there slapped him hard on the face.

Regardless of scolding the sand sculpture's son, the warrior Xun hurriedly stepped forward to salute the old Taoist priest, "I have seen Daoist Sun, the discipline is not strict, forgive the sin."

Sun Daochang is naturally Sun Simang.

He took the materials that Li Yunze had given him, especially the cows, and went to the Qinling Mountains to develop the smallpox vaccine. After a long struggle, he finally achieved results.

After confirming that it was completely effective and after the quarantine period, I came to Li Yunze to discuss the matter of promotion.

Sun Simiao didn't pay attention to Wu Yuanqing's words at all.

He is already at this age, and he has seen all kinds of dudes who are sincere, and this kind of idiot is not worth mentioning at all.

After waving his hand at the warrior Xun, indicating that it was all right, Sun Simiao smiled at Li Yunze and said, "The old Taoist will enter the palace to see His Majesty."

"Ah."

Li Yunze smiled and nodded, "Such a major event that benefits the country and the people, and will benefit the world, can only be promoted quickly and on a large scale with the support of His Majesty."

Sun Simiao, who looked tired but was in an excellent state of mind, nodded and left.

On Li Yunze's side, he glanced at all the members of the Wu family and motioned for them to sit down.

"I already know the purpose of Mr. Ying's visit." After sitting down, Li Yunze said frankly, "The matter of going to sea to find the Spice Islands is now divided into two situations."

"One is to pay money, at least [-] guan."

"Ten thousand guan?" Wu Yuanshuang couldn't help shouting, "Why don't you grab it?"

Glancing at him, Li Yunze said calmly to the warrior Xun, "Duke Ying dotes on his children."

The dark-faced warrior Xun turned his head and scolded, "If you dare to say anything more, you will break your leg immediately after returning home!"

You don't want to talk about your ignorance, but you still want to participate and show yourself. Who do you think you are?

The samurai pondered for a while, "If it is [-] guan, can I take [-]% of the shares?"

"Hehe~~~"

Li Yunze smiled immediately, "Don't be joking, Mr. Ying, you can only get [-]% of the [-] guan."

"what?!"

Even the samurai Xun turned pale with shock, this is ten thousand times.

"The total investment quota for this overseas trip is 200 million yuan. His Majesty will account for [-]%, and I will account for [-]%. The rest of the nobles will account for [-]%."

"This, this, this..." Samurai Xun didn't know what to say.

The huge sum of money, which is rich in wealth, is not worth mentioning at all in this event.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have enough money." Li Yunze glanced at Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang brothers calmly, "You can contribute, that is, send people."
