Tao Zhixian pointed to the peonies in front of him and said, "Ducao, these peonies have a name." The name of the Huang www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun of the pavilion is Yao Huang, which was originally cultivated by a family surnamed Huang and later spread. That purple's name is Wei Zi, and it is passed down from Wei Daoji's family. People say that peony is the king of flowers, Luoyang peony is the best in the world, and Luoyang peony is the most precious in these two products. ”

Yao Huang Wei Zi has become a synonym for famous flowers in later generations, but this era has just been successfully cultivated for a long time, and even idlers in Luoyang City can't see it. Flowers have mutated, and the particularly prominent ones can be called exotic flowers and plants, and only when these traits are stable and can be inherited, can they be regarded as new products. Yao, Huang, Wei and Zi are the two kinds of peonies, which have just been able to reproduce for a long time in this era, and they are extremely valuable. It's not uncommon for a bouquet of flowers to go out and sell hundreds of flowers.

Xu Ping, Wang Yaochen, Yang Xue and others stepped forward to carefully look at these two strange flowers. The peony flower is huge, naturally born graceful and luxurious, yellow purple is a noble color, Yao Huang Wei purple is almost a collection of the world's luck, especially in the flower garden like a king.

After seeing these two strange flowers, I walked all the way along the path in the flower bed, and I didn't go far to a small pavilion.

Tao Zhixian said: "There are tea and fruits in the pavilion, why don't we go inside and rest." ”

"It's fine." Xu Ping said, and walked towards the pavilion first. This flower garden is huge, and Xu Ping is a little tired from walking.

When I entered the pavilion, I saw that there were already a few plates on the stone table inside, a few shelf-stable fruits, and tea and wine.

There is a white wall on the side of the pavilion, on which are all kinds of poems, I think it was inscribed by the literati who came here to enjoy the flowers. Wang Yaochen and Yang Xue stood in front of the white wall and watched endlessly, and they didn't know whose poetry attracted them.

Seeing that the two of them were delayed, Xu Ping couldn't sit down alone, so he had to go over and watch with the two. I saw the most conspicuous place on the white wall, covered with tulle, but it was a song of peony: "Peony is a fairy species, and a touch of crimson is dedicated to Zichen." When the heart is at peace, it is rich, and the flowers bloom here for spring. "Looking at the ink is still fresh, I think it hasn't been long since I first got the question.

Xu Ping couldn't help but laugh dumbly, isn't this the poem he wrote in the back garden of the Ouchi when he cultivated peonies in the greenhouse and presented them to the palace the winter before last. It's really difficult for these officials under him to inquire about this white wall.

The poems that should be made are all flat and stable, neither brilliant nor unbearable. The only bad thing is that Xu Ping took the lead in using the Seven Uniques at that time, which is rare in the poems that should be made. Most of the poems that should be made are close to the format of the poems in the imperial examination, with six rhymes, eight rhymes and ten rhymes, and most of the poems are five words. Seven uniques are rare and not very formal.

Wang Yaochen said with a smile: "When we first entered the department, Yunxing wrote poems with strange sentences, but over the years, it has been much calmer and has some wealth. Is it true that after going through all the things of the world, can we return to the basics? ”

Several people laughed together, and then they left the white wall and returned to the pavilion to sit down.

Tao Zhixian invited tea and said to a few people: "Xia Guan prepared a few glasses of thin wine, how about enjoying the flowers while drinking?" ”

Wang Yaochen nodded: "Okay, you can order someone to come up." ”

Henan County is under Wang Yaochen, Xu Ping and Yang Xue are both guests, of course, he is in charge.

In a moment, a few side dishes were placed on the stone table, which were nothing more than fresh fruit and tender lotus root, a plate of mutton, and a plate of carp.

Tao Zhixian pointed to a dish that was as white as silver and as grassroots: "This is produced in Yanshi County under the rule of Henan Prefecture, and the name of the soil is Silver Buds, which is only produced in that small area, and it will never be seen in other places." This dish is very refreshing, just right to go with wine. ”

Xu Ping smiled: "Yes, it's rare for you to be interested." We are all outsiders who came for the first time and didn't know, I didn't prepare some in winter, but I just ate it twice occasionally and disappeared, but I didn't expect you to have it here. ”

"Xiaguan has been in Henan County for two years, and he knows that this thing is rare, so he specially asked people to buy it and save it in winter. Since the officials of Du Cao like it, they will pick two altars and send them to the mansion after a while. ”

Xiuxiu loves to eat this kind of small dish, but after all, she is an outer room, a small door, and without these experiences, she can't buy it after eating it twice. When I asked someone, I found out that this thing is not produced much, and it is difficult to buy it after the season. Since Tao Zhixian wants to send it, Xu Ping naturally has no reason to refuse, and he doesn't want to have a relationship with the officials under his rule like a mouse and a cat.

After drinking for a while and saying a few words of gossip, he slowly turned to business.

Wang Yaochen said: "Since the end of the year, Yunxing said that he wanted to let the people open a company on Jingxi Road, to be honest, I haven't figured out too much about this matter, but I didn't expect that Xijing City would spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and it didn't take many days to open a lot." ”

Yang Xue said with a smile: "That's because Boyong doesn't have to worry about his family's money being counted in the household, etc., it is all from official considerations." The people of Xijing City are not like this, they can calculate every box clearly, and they are naturally enthusiastic. Speaking of this, I think now, maybe there are many things about this company that we didn't expect, and maybe it was exploited. ”

"That's inevitable, we are not immortals, how can we think about everything clearly? Let the people not be afraid to take advantage of loopholes, as long as the purpose set at that time can be achieved, they will go. Don't think that there are no loopholes everywhere in doing things, and don't be afraid of letting the people take advantage of them, and you can't be so mean as an official. As long as we achieve the purpose we set at that time, we will all rejoice! ”

Listening to Xu Ping's words, Wang Yaochen shook his head: "It's because it's different from what we thought at the time that I feel a little difficult." At that time, what we wanted was that the people, especially those wealthy families, should not put too much cash in their hands, so that the cash should be counted in the household, etc., either deposited in the bank, or went to open a company. When you open a company, you always have to do business, so that the people's money can be revitalized, and it will not become dead money. But now, I heard that many wealthy families in Luoyang City are all opening fictitious companies, just to save money. Business is running on the account, looking lively, but in fact, it is all virtual. ”

Xu Ping smiled: "What are we worried about?" One is that the company's transactions have to be accounted for from the bank, and the other is that they have to pay taxes when they have a business, so they don't have to worry about paying taxes in vain. ”

Yang said: "Du Cao, we have some businesses that are tax-exempt, but I'm afraid that they are making a fuss about it." And the company has more transactions, which also allows more real money in hand. ”

"What are they doing with so much real money in their hands?" Xu Ping frowned. "This is not raising livestock, but also giving birth to piglets and lambs, so they are not afraid that the money will become less and less valuable in the future?"

Tao Zhixian saw the opportunity and interjected: "Du Cao, the lower official will say a word." Those small people are all short-sighted, and when they see Huang Chengcheng's real money, they can't think of anything else. In their hearts, where in this world is there more trustworthy than money? If you tell them that your money will become more and more valuable, you won't believe it anyway. ”

Xu Ping smiled and shook his head, no matter what era, the common people always have the loopholes of the government, but in the final analysis, they still follow the footsteps of the government. If you receive so many copper coins in the money bank, you must spend them, otherwise why would Xu Ping spend so much effort? Inflation is inevitable, so what's the use of getting lucky?
