Three hundred and sixty miles from Langzhou, he entered the boundary of Qianzhou. www.biquge.info From a distance, the mountains here are more verdant than those in Langzhou, and the peaks and peaks are undulating, and they are unconsciously hidden in the milky clouds from far and near, layer by layer.

After all, Fan Ying is still a girl, Gao Jun has been delayed in Langzhou for a few days, and all she talks about salt wells all day long, she is already a little tired. This time she re-entered the mountains, looking at the open everywhere, the birds were singing in the mountains, the water was out of the stream, and even the air was very clear, and her mood could not be better than at this time.

Gao Jun saw that she was pulling Liu Yuru to linger everywhere, often three men rode out in front of him for a while, looking back and seeing that they were still behind, pointing to something far away and saying something, and from time to time there was a crisp laugh.

Li Shen said how close it was to Gao Jun at this time, he even felt that he was getting along with Li Daojue and Gao Jun, although there was a world of difference in family affection and time together, but the feeling he gave him was just the opposite. His mood for Gao Beijia is far higher than that of his brother-in-law. He didn't know what the problem was.

From his own body, Li Shen finally knew that Gao Jun was appointed as a driver in Shangzhou at such an age, and it seemed that he was not in vain. Xizhou is different from the Taiping Prefecture in the mainland, and the situation is much more complicated. And don't drive the position is equivalent to the deputy governor of a state, when the governor is not there, he has the right to act on behalf of the governor, and there are no two brushes!

On the way, he remembered the two clever tricks that Gao Jun had said, he had just talked about the weaving of kudzu and flax, so what was the other one? Li Shen had already made up his mind to go to Langzhou, so he was extremely concerned about this matter, and asked again on the way.

Gao Jun also saw Li Shen's intentions and knew that this young man who was slightly older than himself was still good in quality. Therefore, he was also happy to tell him about it, so he asked Li Shen with a smile, "Lord Li, have you noticed that what things are most common in Langzhou besides kudzu and hemp?" ”

Li Shen said, of course, those ubiquitous oranges.

Gao Jun said, "That's right, if people want to do something, the first thing is to know what they have in their hands and how to make good use of them." Then there is the second one - try to use my mind as much as possible, so that those conditions that are not in my hands can be used from scratch and for me. ”

He nodded, Ge Ma and Linen We have already arranged it, we might as well think of a way to arrange these citrus fruits that can be seen everywhere in Langzhou. I saw that this kind of production was everywhere in Langzhou, and the selling price was very low, so I thought it must have crushed the market in the ripe season.

Li Shen nodded frequently after hearing this, and thought in his heart that it was really like what Master Gao said, if he could find a way out for the two most abundant specialties in Langzhou, then things in Langzhou would not be more difficult. He asked respectfully, "It's really beneficial to listen to Lord Gao's words, so what should I do when I go?" ”

Gao Jun said, "I came from Qinling, and I noticed that there are occasional citrus trees in the Qinling Mountains, and the fruits are as small as pigeon eggs, which are like Langzhou juicy?" It seems that it is all limited by geography and climate. If you can transport the orange fruits of Langzhou to the north, why not sell them at a good price? ”

The king asked, "It's just that the distance is so far, I'm afraid the freight is not a small amount." ”

Gao Jun said, "It's not too difficult to do this, Lord Wang, you think, in the season when citrus is ripe, Dongting Lake has not yet reached the dry season, and Baima Lake and Dongting are connected, and Langzhou only needs to transport fruits from land to Baima Lake." Do you need a horse for the rest of the waterway? ”

Li Shen applauded and praised, "Lord Gao, isn't it? From Baima, Dongting Lake to Yuezhou, although Yuezhou to Ezhou is thousands of miles away, but the big boat full of citrus can go down the river in the next day, and then turn into the Han River, where to use a horse and cow along the way! It turns out that the existing conditions mentioned by Gao also include the Yangtze River waterway! It seems that this kind of thinking really depends on everyone's vision, and the lower officials are ashamed! ”

Liu Yuru and Fan Ying had already caught up from behind at this time, and she interjected after listening to the discussion of the three of them, "I still have a meaning to talk nonsense." ”

Li Shen said, "Mrs. Liu, you must have an unexpected idea!" ”

"Those fruit farmers only know how to sell on the street during the harvest season, how much can they sell? It's a shame that a lot of them are rotten! I know that some people in the north have a method, they wash and cut the fresh fruits that they can't eat, put them into small clay pots and put them in a pot to cook, and then seal them with mud while they are hot, and store them in a cool place. In winter, when the flesh is still very tender, this method can be used. Just imagine, if it is sold in the east and west markets of Chang'an in winter, it will not be crazy. ”

Gao Jun said, I haven't thought about this method Madame, it seems that I really have to brainstorm. If Master Li arrives in Langzhou to implement it, I am afraid that Langzhou will have the opportunity to prosper the pottery industry again!

After hearing this, Li Shen solemnly dismounted, and looked at Gao Jun and Liu Yuru deeply, "Xiaguan regrets that he couldn't see Master Gao a day earlier, and I will go to Langzhou!" ”

Fan Ying smiled, "You have to be prepared, I think Miss Lang is a temperamental." ”

Li Shen said, "If you have a temper, you are also the people in your own house, and the lower officials know." Besides, it's better than my brother-in-law! ”

In this way, several people did not feel tired. On this day, Qianzhou City arrived. They inspected the station, drove horses into the city, and found that the city was twice as large as Langzhou, but the streets were not as smooth as Langzhou, and the mountains rose and fell. The rows of eaves of the houses on the street pressed against the ridges, and when I looked back, I saw that the tiles were all under my feet.

It was not early, so they had to find a better inn to stay in, and finally they chose to go around, but none of them were presentable. It's either overcrowded, or it's dirty and messy, Liu Yuru said, "Tall, we have to look for it again." ”

Gao Jun Dao, a dignified state capital, how could it be so dilapidated that there was not even a decent inn? Li Shen said, "Lord Gao, I have come and gone from Qianzhou City several times, and I won't tell you, I am a little strange every time. ”

He said, "There are forty-one salt wells in Qianzhou, and it stands to reason that they will not be poor like this!" If those people in Shannan West Courtyard don't sleep every day, what else will be the reason? ”

As he was walking, there was a sudden rebuke in front of him, "Get out of the way!" It's a wide road, but carry a stinky vegetable basket to hang around at the door of our yamen, next time you remember to walk from across the street, away from my gate, don't hear it! ”

There is an official office on the side of the street, which is very neatly repaired, the two gates of vermilion are open, the copper nails on the top are rows shining in the sunset, and there is a big four-character plaque on the top of the gate - Shannan West Courtyard.

A thirty-year-old man dressed in coarse linen clothes bowed away in quick succession, carrying a bamboo basket full of vegetable leaves to the end of the street. After he walked away, the official was still muttering, "The mouse fell into the footbath, and it was not as good as the soup chicken, I thought it was in the past!" ”

Under the plaque, there are two errand officers on the left and right, with tall chests and shy, and bright clothes and hats. One of them was the one who had just rebuked people loudly, and now he regained his upright posture. Although Gao Jun didn't even tilt his head when these people walked by, Gao Jun knew that their eyes were moving with the figures of his two ladies, Gao Jun smiled and pretended not to know.

Fan Ying rode forward, and asked with a fist at the goalkeeper who had just spoken, "This big brother, do you know where the best place to stay in Qianzhou City is?" ”

The man immediately changed his posture and said to Fan Ying with a smile on his face, "This girl, if you ask me, you are asking the right person, the best place to stay in Qianzhou City is that house," he raised his hand and pointed to the side.

Fan Ying asked again, "Who was that person just now?" Can I see the bad brother? ”

The man knew everything, "Back girl, don't look at him shabby, but the original origin is not what ordinary people can imagine...... I heard that he was once the personal guard of Prince Yin...... Now it's a grass dragon falling slope—" (To be continued.) )
