Chapter 50: The White Sugar Warehouse
In the past, the Dragon Boat Festival was to eat "honey juice dumplings", although more than a thousand years later literary works have reprocessed the "honey juice", but the pure Tang people said that as long as it is sweet, the tofu brain will be eaten for you.
Spit!
Spit out a mouthful of sweet tofu brain, Zhang De sighed, so good-hearted, so melancholy. was stripped of a large piece of meat by Li Yuan's father and son, and it was uncomfortable!
At the end of April, there were a lot of people coming, and this time it was really a gathering of hundreds of officials, and there were still some foreign officials waiting for them to play right under the corridor. Don't be nervous, after all, many people have never seen a living emperor in their lives.
Some unlucky people chose people, after finishing Kong Yingda's five-year mock poems, they didn't even see the emperor in front of the emperor when they entered Beijing, so they went south to the south of Yunmengze and played peek-a-boo with the fangs.
Since last year, I have always heard that there are fangs in Qianzhong Province in Jiannan Province who are playing very happily, and several additional captains and brigade commanders of Zhichong Mansion have died. Being a soldier is also hard, and wherever you run in these years, you may suddenly delete your number.
Wei Zheng, the first troll of the Tang Dynasty at this court meeting, has not yet fired, and a group of nobles directly sprayed the emperor as a faint monarch, not only the emperor is a faint monarch, but the prince is also vulgar and vulgar.
Anyway, in a word: your surname Li has a kind of meat, and there is a kind of don't hide your saliva.
Even the administrator Sun Wuji didn't dare to stop him, under normal circumstances, if anyone dared to spray the emperor, the administrator would be banned from the title.
But the administrator can't be depressed.
The eldest grandson Wuji said that the old man gave you this brother-in-law, not to mention the comfort of serving before and after the saddle, not counting the merits of these years, you can boil some sweetness just by hard work. Why is it that in a blink of an eye, your family has such a big piece of fat, and you don't even say a little bit of hairy meat to the old man?
Is this still a relative?
So about the addition of the sugar warehouse in the East Palace, the trolls are mainly divided into two groups, one group is naturally hooked up with Zhang De, and the other group is the emperor's loyal dog minions, but they are loyal dog minions who are envious, jealous and hateful.
Li Dong is also thick-skinned, and may have bought a few imperial histories. Then a mad dog jumped out and said that this policy is good, and it is easy to reduce the price of sugar, so that the people will not be able to afford it.
Fang Xuanling, who didn't know how to explain to his wife when he went home, was suddenly furious, this year, there is still a royal history to support the emperor? Do you still want to get mixed up?
The consequence of forcibly pushing this bill is that when eating at the porch, the ministers are calculating how many points they have lost.
"It's too much!"
"A white sugar warehouse, take away fifty percent of the quota of Jingzhao Mansion, how can there be such a deal in the world?"
"Shh......h Be quiet, it's okay, I didn't take the Henan Mansion. ”
"Faint King!"
Li Dong pretended not to hear, Lao Tzu couldn't understand it, he couldn't hear it clearly, anyway, I just wanted to add the white sugar warehouse, and it was drawn under the inner square, it was about your birds, this is the royal family's own business.
So within a few years of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, because of the millions of Kaiyuan Tongbao, Shi Dazhong, the internal supervisor of the third product, took a part-time position as a warehouse supervisor from the ninth grade.
That's right, Li Dong doesn't even feel at ease in the East Palace at all, he just wants his own people!
And Li Shimin pondered that his eldest son was too kind-hearted, and his brain couldn't turn around, in case he was pitted by the idiots who left and right Chunfang, millions of dollars, just kidding......
Money is not everything, but no money is everything.
Especially after being happy from the Turks, Li Dong felt that it really cost money to go out to have fun.
War is about money and food, and this is a bloody lesson.
But fortunately, Li Er was not so brazen as to wipe out the quota of Jingzhao Mansion, and there were only two places in the Tang Dynasty with the most feudal imperialist market economy, one Jingzhao Mansion and one Henan Mansion. The white sugar warehouse took half of the quota of Jingzhao Mansion, which was worth the entire Hedong Road.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, even shit can be sold for a trick.
And Li Shimin is not brain-deficient, putting the white sugar warehouse under the East Palace Inner Fang Bureau has another advantage, the Inner Fang Bureau also has the power to directly communicate with the Barbarian Fanbang. In other words, when the sugar goes to the bottom of the Neifang Bureau, it can also directly engage in export trade, and there is no way to intercept half of the Kaiyuan Tongbao in the border field.
This is called the abuse of power for personal gain, and it is the most brazen bureaucratic capitalism.
To tell the truth, Zhang De still admires Li Yuan's father and son, at least he didn't eat it and swallowed it in one bite, and kicked him away when he was done.
It feels good to have an uncle of a military tycoon as a backer.
"Qianzhong Road has always been poor, but it can also grow a crop of sugarcane, although it is not as good as the quality of Lingnan Jiangdong, but it is much closer to Chang'an. The mountain people have made progress, so why make trouble? Naturally peaceful. ”
None of them are stupid, the upstream and downstream industries of white sugar have to be subcontracted. Uncle Zhang Gongjin can mix by his appearance, but he just has to rely on his talent. So he pondered, is it to engage in planting, with his way, how can he be delegated to the old subordinates of the local Zhechong Mansion, how can he give three points of thin noodles?
The old man is not just looting the gold and silver treasures of beauties and planting sugar cane.
However, Lao Zhang reminded Uncle Zhang that growing sugarcane is not only an income, but also an important measure to quell banditry.
When Zhang Gongjin heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Da Lang, what did Renzhi teach you before?" ”
"Self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world."
Lao Zhang's face was straight.
“……”
Zhang Gongjin gave up digging into the roots, and then sighed with emotion: "The Turks have been wiped out, and now only Tuyuhun, Goguryeo and the remnants of the Western Regions remain." If sugarcane can also be grown in Daizhou Yunzhong, presumably the border trouble will be smaller. ”
"Uncle is worried about the country and the people, but he doesn't want to be defrauded of his huge income."
"Well, don't talk about him."
Thinking of Li Dong's eating appearance, Zou Guogong's heart hurt a little. Half of the quota of Jingzhao Mansion......
"By the way, uncle, after returning from Daizhou, Li Simo is in the northwest of Shuozhou?"
"Exactly, why did Da Lang ask?"
"The Turkic warrior Han also accepted his fate, if my uncle has some way, and I went to contact him."
"Da Lang, befriending the Turks, I'm afraid it will lead to criticism."
"Uncle, he eats half of the quota of Jingzhao Mansion, and he can directly sell it to all states. There is always such a favor, right? ”
"That's right, I've just left my job, and it's not important to stay in Beijing. Even if there are some correspondence with Simo, it will not be said that he wants to rebel. ”
"Exactly."
Lao Zhang smiled and said to Zhang Gong solemnly, "Uncle, my little nephew recently remembered that my deceased father left a wonderful method that can make some profits from the grassland...... Hehe, uncle, let's go to Kannai Road to find a place to buy land, and then recruit people. ”
"What's the magic of it?"
"If the law is not passed on to the six ears, my uncle only needs to know, if it is known by that brazen man, I am afraid that he will set up a wool warehouse in the Neifang Bureau."
"Oh?"
Uncle Zhang Gongjin suddenly raised his eyebrows and stood up quickly, "You still need to find a helper in this matter, and wait for my news." ”
After that, the handsome and dashing Uncle Zhang shook off his beautiful hair and went to Li Jing's house.
And this situation, because 12,000 catties of white sugar were sold in the white sugar warehouse, and the three generations of the Li family, who made a net profit of 3,600 yuan, celebrated in the Forbidden Garden.
Li Yuan and Li Shimin, whose father-son relationship was once frozen, are also drinking happily there at this time, so for sure, even if you drink wine, you can drink a glass and pour a glass. Rich, so rich.
Li Dong has never been so chic, and now he has a thought: I want to squander! To be wasted! To lose!
The money came too quickly, so that even Empress Changsun, who was so diligent and thrifty, sighed there: "This sugar entry is really amazing, but I'm afraid it can be compared with salt and iron." ”
"Not to mention this white sugar, stop this rock sugar monopoly, the profit is really amazing. It's really envious. Li Er held the golden cup, looked at the scarlet liquid in the cup, and said excitedly, "If you back down at the court meeting that day, how can you have the joy of today?" ”
"This Zhang Dalang is worthy of being born in a wealthy family in Jiangyin, and he has some pipe learning."
"It's a pity that he didn't promise to be a princess that day, otherwise...... Hum. Li Dong's eyes lit up, if that kid asked for a princess to be his wife, he would have to let half of his net worth give the royal family to help the poor.
Li Yuan was calm: "Erlang, don't be impatient, if you want to invite you into the urn, you need to plan slowly." This person is quite good at calculating wealth and goods, and if he is a colt, it will be of great help to my Li family. ”
"That's what Aya said."
The father and son had a light in their eyes, obviously thinking about letting that guy be their son-in-law.
There is no doubt that at present, Lao Zhang is a personal-shaped money skewer in the eyes of the Li family's father and son, which is too attractive.
Just as the Li family was enjoying a family gathering in the royal garden, Shi Dazhong, who was a part-time supervisor of the white sugar warehouse, handed over a piece of music from Lingnan.
"Who is it?"
"Feng An."
Hearing Li Er say this name, Li Yuan sighed: "This guy has always been docile and afraid of death, but he can be regarded as loyal." Could this situation be a rebellion by the Lingnan fangs? ”
"Definitely." Li Dong shook his head, looking constipated, "He said he wanted to farm." ”
"Farming? What is the old man doing? ”
"He said he was going to grow sugar cane......
Li Dong's expression was very unhappy, and he always had a feeling that his toys had been robbed.
