Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

"I also happened to meet an old farmer when I was on the march a few years ago. It was the old farmer who told me this technique."

"Look, Your Majesty, if you look closely, isn't the color of this large piece of land a little different?"

"Some are shallow and some are a little deeper."

"This is because turning the soil will not keep the same color as before. The soil is dark and light, so naturally the color of the soil is different."

"And here... Strictly speaking, it's not like turning the soil, but directly replacing the topsoil here."

"Otherwise, the soil here would definitely not be so flat. It looks like it has not been turned over."

Li Jing said with a smile.

I heard this.

Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui's expressions changed slightly.

Has the surface soil here been replaced?
That is to say, even if there had been a war here before, they would not be able to see it.

After all, even if it is just an ordinary piece of farmland, if there are several children running around on it, or if there are animals walking on it, there will definitely be traces left, which can be seen at a glance.

But, if that piece of arable land was replaced.

hiss…….
Then, it is not so easy to find.

And here…….
Li Shimin's eyes were a little solemn, but after a moment, he reacted and said with a smile: "Pharmacist, you really deserve the title of military god. I wonder if you have any other discoveries?"

Li Jing smiled and threw the soil in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Wangyun Inn is really thoughtful. The fragrance in the air comes from the soil."

"They turned the soil over so they could spread spices and other things on the ground. This way, the fragrance would seep out from the ground and wouldn't smell unevenly like if it was simply sprinkled in the air."

"Moreover, as it evaporates, the fragrance can be almost perfectly dispersed in the air, and no earthy smell can be smelled. Even if it rains, the air will only have a stronger fragrance, without the slightest earthy smell."

"This method of use is really brilliant!"

"It seems that Master Qin really knows how to enjoy life. However, the days of tilling the soil should be very long. It seems that the colors are all becoming the same. I guess in a few days, they will be completely invisible."

"Hahahaha... Such wisdom, I admire you!"

When Li Jing said this, he nodded repeatedly and praised highly.

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

He looked at the land and wondered what had happened here.

“It should have been turned over before.”

"Come on, let's go in and rest."

Li Shimin walked forward again.

As for the soil under his feet, he believed that it had been turned over before, because ever since the good things in Wangyun Inn were discovered, the Jinwu Guards had been stationed near Wangyun Inn day and night.

The spies of the Jinwu Guard have been here all the time.

Could it be possible that the people at Wangyun Inn were able to bribe the Jinwu Guard spies?
how can that be!

It's absolutely impossible!
And the news from the Jinwu Guards is that there is nothing unusual here.

It's impossible to conceal such a huge project!

Besides, at that time, in addition to the Jinwu Guards' spies, there were definitely all kinds of messy eyes from the aristocratic families staring at this place.

However, no one said there was anything fishy going on.

I thought too highly of this brat "Qin Wenyuan".

If he can't even do it himself, how can he have this ability?

It should be that before the Jinwu Guards found this place, the people in the villa of the Prince of Chu's mansion turned the soil, and then used it to prevent spices and so on.

call…….
Li Shimin let out a light breath. After he figured out the key point, his pace became lighter.

It turns out that I am too smart. I almost got stuck in a dead end.

Hahaha…….
Li Shimin was complacent.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and the others also narrowed their eyes, glanced at Li Junxian beside them, then looked at the dense forest beside them, and followed with a smile.

They thought the same as Li Shimin, believing that this was the land that had been turned over before, so they didn't care about it.

soon.

The villa of Wangyun Inn has arrived.

The door is still closed.

However, this time, before Li Shimin and his men went up to knock on the door, the old man had already come out.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, and everyone else, are you here?"

"Please come in, please come in."

The old man smiled and opened the door.

He invited Li Shimin and others.

"Oh, old man, what a coincidence! I wonder where you are going? I haven't even knocked on the door yet."

Li Shimin talked as he walked, very casually.

Empress Changsun and the others followed behind him, all with smiles on their faces.

The old man smiled and pointed backwards.

There were five servants behind him, each holding a large bottle.

"It's time to replenish the perfume. There are few people in the villa, and Your Majesty always has to travel a long way every time he comes. We thought we could make the air outside more fragrant so that Your Majesty can smell it every time he comes here and know that he has arrived at the villa."

The old man said quickly.

"perfume?!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

Not only him, but also Empress Changsun, Wei Zheng, and Du Ruhui, they all looked over hurriedly.

The fragrance outside the villa of Wangyun Inn really made them intoxicated.

The taste is really amazing.

No spices in Chang'an can compare with it.

Especially Princess Changle, she went back to Chang'an and looked for it, but she couldn't find the same one at all.

The spices in Chang'an always seem too inferior compared to the aroma of Wangyun Inn.

"What kind of perfume? The fragrance in the air outside makes me feel relaxed and happy every time I smell it."

"Besides, there might not be many of these spices in the whole Chang'an, right? Hehehe..."

Li Shimin smiled.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. This perfume was personally mixed by Xiao Qin. I'm afraid that only Wangyun Inn has it in the world."

"I can also say frankly that some of the spices in Chang'an are indeed good, but they cannot be compared with those in Wangyun Inn."

The old man said with a smile.

The voice is really confident.

That's truly the feeling of being invincible.

He totally ignores everything.

"oh!?"

Suddenly, Li Shimin became interested and raised his eyebrow.

"Come here, old man, let me see. Sit over here."

"Hahaha... Young Master Qin actually knows about spices. I really underestimated him."

"Isn't this something that only girls from well-off families would like?"

Li Shimin looked at the jars in the hands of the five people behind him and pulled the old man to a stone bench.

"Put it down, put it down, be careful."

Li Shimin ordered.

The five men looked at the old man.

"His Majesty tells you to let go, so just let go." The old man said with a smile.

Five people put down five jars.

This jar is porcelain.

Each of them looked very capable and had a big belly. Li Shimin tried to hug them, but he couldn't even hold them in his arms the first time.

"Your Majesty, be careful."

Empress Changsun said quickly.

In her eyes, these perfumes are all treasures.

Thinking about the fragrance outside, it is really something I have never seen in my life.

The taste from last time was different from the taste this time, but no matter which one it was, Empress Changsun loved it very much.

Princess Changle was also standing aside expectantly.

She had never expected that there would be so many of these things in the Chu Palace. Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others were also somewhat curious.

"Open!"

Li Shimin's eyes were like fire.

I didn't expect that when I arrived at the Wangyun Inn, I saw another good thing of "Qin Wenyuan".

This boy is really good at hiding things. Why doesn’t he offer these goodies to the palace?

And I have to look for them one by one.

Li Shimin rolled up his sleeves.

And beside.

Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde have already rushed up.

"Don't be in a hurry, open them one by one to avoid the smell from mixing."

Li Shimin hurried to speak again.

"Let me open this first!"

As Cheng Yaojin spoke, he already held the lid of the porcelain jar with both hands.

With a "pop" sound, the lid was pulled out.
The lid seals very well. Before opening it, there is no smell at all. However, as soon as the lid is taken off.

In an instant.

The fragrance of plum blossoms rose into the sky, and tons of fragrance filled everyone's nose.

Rush in madly!

incredible!

Unbelievable!

This taste...
Absolutely!

Everyone's eyes widened. They stared blankly at the opened porcelain jar and felt the fragrance in the air.

“This…this…”

"This taste... is so pure!"

"It's like... it's like I'm standing under a plum tree. This smell... this smell... is stronger than the aroma of a spice shop, far stronger!"

"OMG!!"

Princess Changle was completely shocked.

She often went shopping with Li Wan'er, Du Ruyan and others, and the place they went to most often was the spice shop.

I have a very good understanding of the true situation of those spice shops.

She dared to swear, she really dared to swear, that among all the spice shops in Chang'an City, none could be as strong as this jar of perfume.

And the taste is incomparable to this one!!

Absolutely incomparable!!

This smell is so pure and fragrant, without any impurities or discomfort!!

Although it’s thick, it’s not greasy at all!

too strong.

Princess Changle lay down next to the porcelain jar, looking at the clear and transparent jar full of perfume, her eyes full of desire.

If I could use a little of this perfume on myself, wouldn’t it be…
I guess he will be the coolest guy on the street.

You know, there's nothing wrong with ladies from wealthy families; all they compete with are sachets, rouge and powder.

And these things have the same effect as perfume.

Now that perfume has come out, it completely crushes all the others!
Princess Changle was completely unable to extricate herself.

After all, she is just a girl, and she has no resistance to this thing.

"Young Master Qin is really clever and deft. I didn't expect that he has such a deep knowledge of the spice industry!" Changsun Wuji sighed.

"Who said it wasn't true? No one would believe it if I told them. Prince Qin is so knowledgeable about spices!" Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

"If we open a shop selling this perfume in Chang'an, more than half of the spice shops in Chang'an will have to close!" Du Ruhui pursed his lips and smiled bitterly.

"That's right. This perfume...hiss...smells so good. Not only that, I'm afraid all the girls in Chang'an will be crazy about Young Master Qin. Your Majesty, Queen, you don't have to worry about Young Master Qin's marriage."

Li Jing was shocked.

Empress Changsun moved her neck a little stiffly.

She glanced at Li Jing and said with a smile: "General Li, you are wrong. Even without this perfume, Mr. Qin's marriage would be very simple."

"This... yes, yes, yes!" Li Jing was stunned, then nodded repeatedly.

Yes!

Just the name of a poet is enough to shock the whole city! !

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

He looked at Princess Changle, who was so happy and pleased, and said with a gentle smile: "Changle, you come and open the second one."

Li Shimin finally got the chance to talk to Princess Changle, and of course he would not miss this opportunity.

Princess Changle glanced at Li Shimin.

Although there is a gap between the two, Princess Changle will definitely not refuse this proposal.

She slowly opened the second porcelain jar.

In an instant.

Another fresh fragrance.

The fragrance is not strong, but very elegant, and it smells slightly sweet.

Then, Princess Changle exclaimed in surprise: "Pear blossom fragrance, this is pear blossom fragrance!!"

Pear blossom fragrance?!

Everyone was shocked.

You know, the fragrance of pear blossoms is very light. The sachets used in the spice shops of the Tang Dynasty were almost all made of various flowers with very strong fragrances.

For example, chrysanthemum, osmanthus, and locust flowers...
Pick the blooming flowers, dry them, and then put them into sachets.

However, although this sachet has a fragrance, if you want to get the document, you can only put it under your nose.

Otherwise, it’s hard to smell.

There's no way, the fragrance of the sachet is too weak.

Flowers that do not have a strong fragrance, such as pear blossoms, are almost never for sale.

Sachets have little smell to begin with, and once made into sachets, they have no smell at all.

But…….
just now!

The sweet scent of pear blossoms rises into the sky, and there is no need to smell it specifically, it rushes into your nose.

Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun and others were truly stunned.

Does this work too?
They were confused.

This was beyond their understanding. It seemed that if this perfume came out, the spice industry would be completely subverted.

Princess Changle swallowed hard.

She rolled up her sleeves.

The remaining three lids at the back were all opened.

The chrysanthemums are fragrant.

Camellia scent.

Peony fragrance.

Especially the last peony scent, the smell is so strong and intense, it can be said that once the peony scent comes out, it directly suppresses the other four scents.

This shows the dominance of peony perfume.

But this smell made Li Shimin even more crazy.

peony!

There is no doubt that this is the most favorite and familiar flower to both the dignitaries and the common people in the Tang Dynasty?
Almost all spice shops in Chang'an, big and small, have various spice sachets made from peonies.

Deeply loved by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

but…….
When had they ever encountered such a domineering and strong peony scent?

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

It was Princess Changle. She was standing next to them, her cheeks slightly flushed.

The fragrance made her feel like she was floating in the air.
