Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 133 The Peking Mansion Is Boiling
Then, another half hour passed.

Zhu Liang, Ding Shang and other veterans came out of the greenhouse with excited faces, and reported to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, there are still more than 40 mu of vegetables in the greenhouse that have not been picked."

"Guo Qing, what's your suggestion?"

Zhu Di turned his head to look at Guo An who was on the side.

Guo An thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, I suggest that you leave ten acres of vegetables for the daily supply of Yan Wangfu.

As for the other [-] acres, you can let it go, a catty of vegetables for one tael of silver, whoever wants to eat, just pay to buy it! "

"A tael of silver?"

Zhu Di's eyes widened and his eyelids twitched.

Around, Zhu Liang, who hadn't left yet, and the guards of King Yan's Mansion also looked at Guo An with regret on their faces.

One tael of silver for a catty of vegetables?
My own Guo Changshi is really dark-hearted!

"If Your Highness thinks it's cheap, you can add up to two taels of silver per catty."

Guo An thought for a while, then said again, "Anyway, in the entire Beiping Prefecture, and even in surrounding places like Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan, only our Beiping Prefecture has such fresh, sweet and tender vegetables."

Zhu Di: "..."

Zhu Liang, Ding Shang and other senior guards were even more stunned, wanting to raise the price?
Zhu Di watched Guo An closely for a while, and found that Guo An didn't seem to be joking, so he licked his lips.

"That's enough, just one tael of silver per catty."

"However, are you sure those people will actually buy it?"

"Your Highness, don't underestimate those gentlemen. Rare things are more expensive, especially these first batch of vegetables grown in the cold winter?"

Guo An smiled faintly, full of confidence.

"Of course, it would be even better if they don't buy them, and we will eat all these vegetables in Prince Yan's residence.

To be honest, I really don't want to sell it to them! "

"..."

Zhu Di opened his mouth, and then said slowly: "We don't want to sell them either, but such expensive vegetables are too wasteful to eat.

Moreover, we built such a large greenhouse and planted so many vegetables, and we want all the people in Beiping Prefecture to taste them. "

Guo An ignored Zhu Di, who was already in a state of confusion, and said to himself, "Don't worry, Your Highness, with so many vegetables, why don't you buy one worth more than 10,000+ taels of silver?"

"10,000+ taels of silver?"

Zhu Di, Zhu Liang and the others subconsciously looked at the warm shed in front of them, their eyes glistening, as if they were looking at a mountain of silver.

Guo An said again: "Your Highness, this is just a conservative estimate. Who knows how many vegetables these [-] mu can produce?"

"Zhu Liang, Li Wang!"

Zhu Di shouted directly.

"Your Highness?"

"You'll draw another hundred guards from our Prince Yan's mansion later, and show us the greenhouse!"

"Follow the order!"

……

Half an hour later, a convoy came in on the streets of Beiping City, and all the passing people stared wide-eyed and surprised.

"Look, what's in those big cars?"

"Courgettes? And eggplant, celery, coriander, green onions..."

"Hey...how is this possible?"

"I won't be hallucinating, will I?"

"How can there be these vegetables in this winter?"

"However, there is soil on the scallions and coriander, so fresh? Also, the courgettes, eggplants, and celery roots still have tender juices, which are obviously freshly picked..."

"These guards are all guards of King Yan's Mansion. Could it be that His Highness King Yan has learned the magic of immortality? Can he grow vegetables in winter?"

"Quickly, go and report to the master!"

"A great thing happened..."

Immediately, in less than a moment, the entire Beiping mansion was completely boiling.

His Royal Highness King Yan actually brought back ten carts of fresh vegetables just picked from outside the city?

at the same time.

In the Commander's Department of the Capital, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Lan Yu and others also saw the big cart of tender green vegetables in front of them, all of them were shocked, and their eyes were bigger than copper bells.

"His Royal Highness King Yan really grew vegetables?"

"The right chief Shi Guoan is really amazing!"

"Come here, leave twenty catties of vegetables, and share the rest of the vegetables with the brothers below!"

"Yes, General..."

After a moment of emotion, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and the others each held a courgette in their hands and began to eat it.

"You can still eat such tender and sweet courgettes in winter, but I don't know how it is grown?"

"It's a pity that King Yan sent people to watch the farm so hard that not a single fly could fly in."

"Ugh……"

"General, His Royal Highness King Yan has just returned from outside the city with ten carts of fresh vegetables, and now the people in the entire Beiping Mansion are discussing this matter!"

As he spoke, the soldier looked at the half courgette in the hands of Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, and subconsciously swallowed.

"Guru..."

"Ten cars?"

Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu didn't notice this, but were shocked by the ten carts of vegetables.

"So there are so many vegetables grown in the greenhouse?"

"Report~"

At this time, another soldier ran in from the outside.

"Reporting to the General, there is news from the Palace of King Yan that His Highness King Yan has grown vegetables in the cold winter.

Rejoice!

His Royal Highness Yan deeply felt that it was not easy to grow vegetables. In order to let the people in the entire Beiping Prefecture taste vegetables, His Highness Yan decided to sell vegetables to the outside world!
One catty of fresh vegetables costs one tael of silver! "

"A tael of silver for a catty?"

"Why doesn't King Yan go to snatch..."

Just as Feng Sheng wanted to curse, he quickly shut up.

"How many catties was that big cart of vegetables just now?"

Fu Youde replied: "About one hundred fifty or sixty catties."

"One hundred fifty and sixty taels of silver?"

"yes……"

……

Similarly, in Beiping Mansion, there are luxuriously decorated mansions.

One by one, merchants, gentry, and even some officials, after hearing that one tael of silver was a catty of vegetables.

First, he opened his mouth, wanting to scold.

But thinking that it was the King of Yan, he hurriedly shouted to the stewards in front of him: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly bring ten taels of silver and go buy vegetables for us!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Quickly pay 20 taels of silver from the cashier, and go to Yanwang Mansion to buy vegetables. If you can't afford it, don't come back!"

"Yes, sir..."

"housekeeper……"

"..."

These, Zhu Di and Guo An did not see.

This will, they are very busy.

After seeing the ten carts of vegetables, all the officials in Yanwang Mansion were stupefied for a while, and then praised Zhu Di one by one, and almost praised Zhu Di as a wise king comparable to Yao and Shun. Even Guo An didn't let it go. Master Guo Xian.

Immediately, all of them stared at the ten carts of vegetables with bright faces.

Although ten carts of vegetables were brought back, there were more officials and guards in the Palace of King Yan.

In the end, after a wave, Guo An was able to get [-] catties of vegetables.

"Your Highness, that greenhouse is a humble minister..."

Guo An was full of indignation, and just wanted to argue with Zhu Di.

He Zhong, the general manager of King Yan's Mansion, hurried in.

"His Royal Highness, there are a lot of government officials from various houses coming from outside the mansion, all with silver taels, and want to buy vegetables from His Highness."

Both Zhu Di and Guo An were taken aback.

"How many people came?"

He Zhong replied: "Your Highness, there are almost 50 more, but people are still being added."

Zhu Di looked at Guo An.

Guo An nodded slightly, "I didn't expect these gentry merchants to respond so quickly, so I sent a team of soldiers and took them to the farm to buy vegetables."

"Send them to the farm?"

Zhu Di's expression froze slightly.

"Your Highness, they should all know about the farm by now. So, it's better to let them go to the farm to get the vegetables themselves, and save our soldiers from delivering them to them."

Guo An explained, "However, these stewards can only wait outside the farm. They are not allowed to enter the farm, and they are not allowed to know the specific situation inside the farm."

"Can!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

He Zhong quickly replied: "Yes, the villain will send someone to take them there."

Guo An reminded: "And the manager, remember to send a few more accountants to pay the money with one hand and the vegetables with the other hand!"

"Thank you Guo Changshi for the reminder!"

He Zhong thanked him gratefully, and walked out quickly.

To be honest, He Zhong has long been curious about the farm, especially the greenhouse.

Soon, all the stewards outside King Yan's mansion followed He Zhong and others to the farm.

Guo An has been staying in Yanwang Mansion, waiting until the value is released.

When I got home, I left ten catties of those thirty catties of vegetables.

Afterwards, he brought twenty catties of vegetables to Nie's mansion.

The Nie Mansion has already replaced glass windows, and there are two iron stoves in the main hall. There is also an iron pipe connected to the iron stoves, which leads directly to the outside of the house, making it very warm.

Seeing the [-] catties of vegetables that Guo An brought, even with Nie Zishi's self-restraint, his face was full of excitement.

"Courgettes, eggplants, scallions, coriander, celery... are all freshly picked vegetables!

ok, ok, ok...

Ning Yi, are the rumors outside true? "

"May I ask what rumor Uncle Nie is referring to?" Guo An was taken aback.

Nie Zishi said: "Your Highness King Yan has obtained immortality techniques, so can he grow vegetables in the severe winter?"

"Rumours are fiercer than tigers."

Guo An sneered, and said, "Uncle Nie must not believe those rumors. These vegetables are all grown with earth dragons, not some kind of fairy art."

"I see!"

Nie Zishi opened his mouth, but did not ask in the end.

Guo An smiled lightly, and said: "There are not many vegetables picked in the farm this time, and Guo An only got [-] catties.

This time, I only brought twenty catties to Uncle Nie. After Uncle Nie finished eating, he sent someone to inform Guo An, and Guo An brought some vegetables to Uncle Nie. "

"This……"

Nie Zishi looked moved, glanced at the vegetables on the side, and then said in a low voice: "Ning Yi will be wronged in the Yan Palace for a few more years, and work through his qualifications.

In the future, if we want to enter the imperial court, we will find a way for Ning Yi. "

"Thank you uncle."

Guo An quickly said: "However, Guo An has now been branded with the Yan Palace, so I'm afraid he won't be welcomed even if he goes out.

It is more free and safer in Yanwang Mansion. "

"Ugh……"

Nie Zishi sighed slightly.

"Guo An bids farewell!"

……

The next day.

Guo An had just arrived at Prince Yan's Mansion when he heard the results of selling vegetables yesterday.

A total of 120 stores, each bought at least ten catties of vegetables, and the most bought fifty catties directly.

In one afternoon, three thousand five hundred taels of silver were sold.

Fortunately, He Zhong was a little cautious, and each family could only buy fifty catties.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the family will have to buy a lot of cars.

"Whose house is that?"

Guo An asked curiously.

Zhu Di said leisurely: "The Shen family!"

"The Shen family?"

Guo An frowned slightly, then remembered something, and suddenly his whole body trembled, "Your Highness, is that the Shen family?"

"Exactly!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Guo An wondered: "But Your Highness, the Shen family has always been in Suzhou and Zhejiang, why did they come to Peiping?"

"The person in charge of the Beiping Mansion is just a branch of the Shen family, named Shen Zhuang Shen Boxi. Before that, he also transported grain to Beiping, and brought the cotton from Peiping to Songjiang Mansion for sale."

As he said that, Zhu Di glanced at Guo An strangely, and said again: "It's just that with the appearance of Guo Qing, Shen Zhuang's business has also been affected."
