Chapter 990: No One Knows It's Lychee

"Xiao Gong! Why don't you fight for Jiangnan, this is an excellent opportunity for me to prosper in Jiangnan. In the Song State Mansion, a group of Jiangnan officials gathered and said one after another.

"Yes! Once the large-scale development of Jiangnan is carried out, it is not impossible for the land south of the Yangtze River to surpass the Central Plains with the unique conditions of our southern part of the Yangtze River. Feng Zhidai said proudly.

Other officials nodded one after another, as Jiangnan scholars, they naturally knew Jiangnan's advantages, if they could still develop step by step before, but the Mo family gave Jiangnan a strange plan, so that everyone could see the hope of Jiangnan in the shortest possible time, how could they bear it.

Xiao Yu looked at the impatient crowd, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "You are all elite people in Jiangnan, how can you be so easily encouraged by the Mo family, don't you know the purpose of the Mo family." ”

A group of Jiangnan officials couldn't help but look at the matter, the five surnames and seven wangs encircled and suppressed the Mo family, they naturally knew that now the Mo family was at a disadvantage and was looking for an opportunity to break the situation, but this matter involved Jiangnan Daxing, and they couldn't help but mess up.

"Of course we know that the Mo family is using us as a gunman! But what the Mo family does is beneficial to Jiangnan, if I miss the opportunity, I am afraid that I will be caught off guard in the future. A Jiangnan official hesitated.

Terrace! Grow cotton! Mulberry fish pond, schistosomiasis control is a good strategy for the benefit of Jiangnan Baibai.

Xiao Yu sighed and said: "This is the power of the Mo family, first, there are few lands and many mountains, and the miasma plague is the shackles that plague my development in Jiangnan, and countless people in Jiangnan have a headache for it, and it has troubled generations of Jiangnan people, but who would have thought that it would be solved in the hands of Mo Jiazi, such ink skills, I have to make the old man admire." ”

A group of Jiangnan officials bowed their heads one after another, even if they all knew the intentions of the Mo family, but none of them were disgusted with the Mo family, after all, the Mo family really thought about Jiangnan.

Although considering that they might offend the five surnames and seven hopes, none of them could withstand the temptation of Jiangnan's large-scale development.

"Second, with the wisdom of the Mo family, how can he not calculate, once the money needed to implement the development of Jiangnan is an astronomical amount, with today's court taxes, there is no money to come up with to support the development of Jiangnan, if we are tempted, then there is only one way, to ask for help from the Mo family."

"All this is also in the calculation of the Mo family." Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, but then it suddenly dawned on the Mo family to learn arithmetic, but he was alone in the world, and it was not uncommon to calculate this step.

"So Xiao Gong simply agreed to build a north-south brick road." Feng Zhidai said in surprise.

Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Everyone can predict the benefits of the large-scale development of Jiangnan, and we believe that Your Majesty also knows it, but once the large-scale development of Jiangnan is implemented, it will require the support of the whole country to support Jiangnan, even if Your Majesty agrees, but the people of the Central Plains will not be willing!" Therefore, the old man retreated to the second, first for the south of the Yangtze River to fight for a brick road, I believe that the five surnames and seven hopes can not object, once the north and south brick road is built, the north and south are no less than the opening of a grand canal, this is the foundation of my Jiangnan Daxing, the old man will naturally not hesitate. ”

"Xiao Gong is wise!" Everyone admired.

Xiao Yu continued: "Third, since the court has no spare strength to support Jiangnan, and we want to prosper Jiangnan, then we will definitely be inseparable from the support of the Mo family's ink skills, and we must stand on the opposite side of the five surnames and seven hopes. ”

Feng Zhidai said angrily: "The Mo family is really sinister, since he has asked me Jiangnan, he even openly kidnapped me and others." ”

"That is, if you ask for someone, you have to have a posture of asking for someone, the Mo family is already in such a crisis, and he is still holding a shelf, he is not afraid of evil."

"The Mo family is deceiving me, there is no one in Jiangnan!"

……………………………………

A group of Jiangnan officials can be said to be gnashing their teeth at Mo Jiazi, Mo Jiazi is roasting them on the fire! Now they are in a dilemma, if they advance, they will offend the five surnames and seven hopes, and if they retreat, they will have no shame to face the people of Jiangnan.

"In my opinion, this matter is not difficult, when the old man came, the Taiyuan royal family once promised to me, begging me to wait a while, and after the Mo family succumbed, the five surnames and seven hopes will definitely fully support the development of Jiangnan and support Jiangnan Daxing." A Jiangnan official said solemnly.

Many officials couldn't help but light up their eyes, if they could not only offend the five surnames and seven hopes, but also make Jiangnan prosperous, it would naturally be the best.

"If you can have the best of both worlds, wouldn't it be great?" Many Jiangnan officials are afraid of the power of the five surnames and seven hopes, and some of them are moved.

"Let the Mo family succumb?" Feng Zhidai couldn't help but snort coldly, "In the current state, the Mo family is stinky and hard, but I am ready to carry it to the end with the five surnames and seven hopes, I don't believe that the five surnames and seven hopes can make the Mo family succumb, even if the Mo family is defeated, then I am afraid it will be the year of the monkey, and I can wait forever." ”

The Feng family is the head snake of Lingnan, so he is naturally not afraid of the five surnames and seven hopes, and he can't help but scoff at the promise of the five surnames and seven hopes.

The faces of the Jiangnan officials darkened, the Mo family led the revival of the Mo family, and the wrist ability can be described as extremely strong, and the five surnames and seven wangs alone will not fall behind, and if you want the Mo family to succumb, I am afraid it is not so easy, is it possible that the Jiangnan family has to wait for the five surnames and seven hopes, besides, what if the five surnames and seven hopes regret it at that time? After all, the five surnames and seven hopes probably don't want Jiangnan to be bigger!

Just when everyone was arguing, Xiao Yu's eldest son Xiao Rui came in and reported: "I've seen my father and my colleagues. ”

"Why don't you go to accompany Princess Xiangcheng, why are you here?" Xiao Yu frowned and said, the eldest son Xiao Rui married Li Shimin's eldest daughter Princess Xiangcheng, and now Princess Xiangcheng is pregnant, Xiao Rui usually accompanies her.

Xiao Rui arched his hand, sent a fruit basket to Xiao Yu and said: "The child came to officially report this matter, Princess Changle just sent a batch of fruits to Princess Xiangcheng, saying that it is very beneficial for pregnant women, and specially sent it for Xiangcheng to taste, and the child asked his father to take a look." ”

Xiao Yu said angrily: "It's just nonsense, Changle and Xiangcheng have a deep sisterhood, and it's a good thing to send fruit to each other, what do you mean by giving it to the old man?" ”

If his father-in-law went out to snatch the fruits of his pregnant daughter-in-law to eat, wouldn't it be a shame for his old face, and it would not be this filial piety for his son to be filial.

"Xiao Gong is slow! Now that the Mo family is advocating the great development of Jiangnan, and Princess Changle has sent fruit to Princess Xiangcheng, I'm afraid it's not so simple! Feng Zhidai frowned.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Brother Feng is clever, the fruit sent by Princess Changle is not an ordinary fruit, but a Lingnan specialty that cannot be seen in Chang'an, lychee. ”

When he saw the lychee, he knew that the purpose of Princess Changle to send the lychee was probably not as simple as giving it to Princess Xiangcheng, but to show it to Xiao Yu and other Jiangnan officials, so he gave it to his father.

"Lychee!" A group of Jiangnan officials couldn't help but be surprised, as a Jiangnan family, they are no strangers to lychees, this delicious fruit makes people have an endless aftertaste, but there is a fatal shortcoming, that is, it is not easy to preserve, and it will have changed its flavor after a few more days.

"Could it be that after the Mo family's method of storing tribute oranges, he found the method of preserving lychees?" An official exclaimed.

"Not bad!"

Xiao Rui said solemnly, opened the fruit basket directly, and sure enough, he revealed lychees in good condition.

Among the officials present, the most qualified to comment on the lychee is Feng Zhidai, who was born in Lingnan and likes this lychee the most since he was a child.

"Judging from the quality, it is as if it has just been picked, but the color of Lingnan lychee changes in one day, the fragrance changes in two days, the taste changes in three days, and the color and fragrance are all gone after four or five days, I don't know if I can taste one in the next." Feng Zhidai said solemnly, this is for Princess Xiangcheng, so he naturally wants to consult.

"Yes!" Xiao Yu said directly. Not to mention anything else, he can still call the shots with a lychee.

Feng Zhidai couldn't wait to pick up a lychee, skillfully peel it off, and put it in his mouth, and suddenly a familiar delicious taste filled his taste buds, making his eyes moist.

"I'm sorry, I've been away from my hometown for a long time, and now I'm a little out of shape when I meet the lychee in my hometown." Feng Zhidai hurriedly said, although he has a high status in Chang'an City, but it is also similar to the nature of protons, he has not returned to Lingnan for several years, and now he can't help but lose his temper when he encounters his childhood favorite lychee.

"I'll wait for understanding, Brother Feng should make an evaluation!" A Jiangnan official couldn't wait to ask.

"However, this lychee is indeed of the highest quality, as if it has just been picked from the tree, with all the color, flavor and flavor, and Mo Jiazi has indeed mastered the method of keeping lychees fresh." Feng Zhidai affirmed.

"Sure enough!" Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, and they could guess from Feng Zhidai's expression.

Xiao Rui continued: "Not only that, Mo Jiazi not only mastered the method of keeping lychees fresh, but also wrote two poems specifically for lychees, and now the name of lychees has been resounding in Chang'an City. ”

“……………… As soon as the princess of Hongchen smiled, no one knew that it was a lychee. ”

“……………… Eat 300 lychees a day, and don't hesitate to be a Lingnan person. ”

The officials present couldn't help but sigh, with these two poems, Lingnan lychees will definitely become famous in Chang'an City, and now Mojiazi has a way to keep and store lychees, as long as Lingnan lychees are transported to Chang'an City, the benefits make everyone excited.

On one side is the ethereal promise of the five surnames and seven hopes, and on the other side is the interests of the Mo family, and the balance in the hearts of the Jiangnan officials involuntarily began to tilt.

Xiao Yu looked at the expressions of the officials, then looked at the example in front of him, and waved his hand to let Xiao Rui give the rest of the lychees to Princess Xiangcheng.

When Xiao Rui left, Xiao Yu took a deep breath and said: "The development of Jiangnan is a hundred-year plan for Jiangnan, so naturally you can't trust any party, you go and continue to explore the tone of the five surnames and seven hopes, and the old man will personally meet the Mo family." ”

"There is Lao Xiaogong!" Everyone bowed their heads.

In any case, since the Jiangnan family has found an opportunity, they will naturally not give up so easily, whether they choose the five surnames and seven wang or the Mo family, they are indispensable to the interests of the Jiangnan family.
