I don't know what Old Man Bi thinks. Two days after Zhang Xiaobao came up with an idea, Old Man Bi and the others really united and sent the method to the capital. Seeing that it meant to follow suit.
After Liu Zhirou got good things in succession, she would also go to see the bridge. The four old men greeted them and formed a group to head towards Wangjiang County.
With the departure of the four old men, the lives of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returned to a relative calm, and government affairs were no longer required.
Li Xun didn't come to bother him either. He was busy cultivating in the vicinity of the buried hill, which was different from other people's practice in terms of luxury. Li Xun's walk only requires the place to be big enough.
The people in the villages near Qianshan who had nothing to do were recruited by Li Xun to help him work. The people who did not have wages were not angry, because Li Xun said, the line is under construction and they can’t be found outside. People to maintain, just choose people from the surrounding villages who can't find work to maintain.
Li Cheng, who is in charge, didn’t know what Li Xun was going to do. He found Li Xun while he was in charge of the people, and asked for advice: “My son, if someone comes to see you, I’ll laugh at you. It's not small, but Qianshan is not as good as Taihu Lake. Why not just focus on the luxury of cultivation?"
Li Xun had always asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan about what they were going to do, and the design of the line was also proposed by two people. Today, he was finally asked by others. He pretended to cough deeply and said, "Isn’t that you don’t understand? ?"
Li Cheng nodded violently, looking like he was waiting for guidance, but he really didn't understand why it was so simple to repair in a remote place.
"If you don't understand, just ask, don't hold it in your heart, I ask you, why do people live for?" Li Xun was a master who looked like he did.
"For what?" Li Cheng asked, as if asking someone else, as if asking himself.
"It's too difficult, isn't it? Then why are you living for?" Li Xun asked again.
Li Cheng didn't answer immediately. He lowered his head slightly and remembered. Li Xun was not in a hurry. He waited while watching the people help him practice.
Li Cheng thought for a while and replied: "My son, I was sold into the mansion when I was very young. I sold it myself. At that time, I didn't want to starve to death. Maybe I lived to eat and get enough. Later I followed the son. It's different. I can be seen by others, and sometimes I bully people as a prince.
Later, I went to Sanshui County and saw that the restaurant was making money. I wanted to make more money. Now, I don’t know why I have to live anymore. The son is rich, and I am rich. Maybe it’s a habit for me to live. If you think about it, it seems that it doesn't matter if you die. "
After hearing Li Cheng’s words, Li Xun nodded in agreement: "You are not bad, but I didn’t think about climbing too high, but I can’t. I have to be responsible for being alive, and I’m afraid that the goal is too small. In a few days It was achieved, so I set a big goal for myself. I live to make all the people of Datang live a good life."
Li Xun's voice is not loud, but Li Cheng can hear Li Xun's determination. This goal is too big, but what does it have to do with practice
Without waiting for him to ask, Li Xun told him, "Others' work is laboring for the people and wealth. If you fix your work, you may not go to it once a year. The luxurious decorations inside cost money, and many of the land occupied by the line is idle. People who are doing things don't work hard either. This is waste.
Even if it is my own money that is wasted, I will not be such a person. As long as it is mine, I will find a way to make it produce money and use it for the people. "
"My son, wouldn't it be faster to make money by Taihu Lake?"
"Even if I don't go there, I can still make money. Can I not come here? What I want is not a place to be prosperous, but the prosperity of Shuzhou as a whole."
Li Xun waved his hand vigorously, and that meant that the whole of Shuzhou was included.
Li Cheng watched by the side and suddenly realized that the former Xiaohouye really had grown up and it was time to get married.
"Li Cheng, don’t even think that the Zhang family and the Wang family are still in Shuzhou, but they don’t care too much. They just made an idea and gave me the opportunity to build Shuzhou. The rudimentary repair is also their idea."
"That… "
"This tells you why, because my career is not a display. I want to become a zoo and a botanical garden. As long as there are animals and plants that can be raised here, I will find a way to raise them.
Don't ask for the ticket money, do you know the ticket? You can watch it casually, and there are special people who will introduce it. The repairs are too luxurious and the people don't dare to look at it.
When there are more animals and more fame, there will be more people who come here. Naturally, there are rich people. Whatever can be eaten in zoos and botanical gardens will be made into dishes for them, and they are willing to eat more. Local people You can also sell souvenirs here, especially local products, and then..."
"Then the people have money in their hands, and they want to live a good life and the economy gradually develops. Will they be able to collect tickets? Raising animals also costs money."
Li Cheng suddenly became smarter. Before Li Xun finished speaking, he guessed a general idea. After he interrupted, he found that he had interrupted the son.
Li Xun didn’t care. Seeing that Li Cheng could think of this, he nodded happily and said, “Yes, it’s just like this arrangement. The zoo and botanical garden are enough.
My identity is displayed, even if they are to curry favor with me, they have to spend that money. With them, with the market here, the place will gradually prosper, and the buried hill will be turned into a tourist attraction and let them buy shares. By then... you know what? "
"I know, I know, by then the son can stay at home to collect money, and the status of Tongan County King will be more stable." Li Cheng replied.
"Wrong, then I will leave, change another place to continue to be the king of the county, and exchange the prosperity of Tongan, that is, Shuzhou for two or three such poor places, the emperor will also be willing, after all, I stopped here. There are too many taxes and taxes, and the more prosperous the court, the more it will lose."
Li Xun is now addicted to the construction of places. The poorer the place, the more he wants to go and develop it.
"The son is dedicated to the people, and if he is a little admired, let people do it faster." Li Cheng really admired Li Xun's words after hearing what Li Xun said.
…
Compared to the buried hill where Li Xun is located, the temperature is not too cold and dry in winter. The capital has already had three heavy snowfalls. In the past, beef and mutton from Yanzhou and other places in the north should not be transported here. Meat prices will rise.
But today is different from previous years. Although meat is still not eaten by ordinary people, the price increase is relatively small. It has not doubled or more at once, but only increased by less than 50%.
The high price of beef is not just because it is small, but because it is not allowed to be killed casually. It can be shipped from elsewhere. The restaurant owner will always find a way to kill a few, especially in winter.
Lamb is purely a transportation issue. As a result, the price of pork has risen by about 40%. If you can't eat lamb, you will eat pork instead. Sauerkraut pot is becoming popular.
As a result, the price of pork has risen again, but this is nothing. With a pigeon flying from Shuzhou, the Zhuangyuan Building immediately introduced a new dish, "Broiled pork made with wine", pork The price is long and long.
The court finally found that something was wrong. The increase in pork prices turned the transportation industry into prosperity, and the price of hay for livestock also increased. There was not enough hay and soybeans to eat.
Then, other prices have also risen. This is the influence of a single popular material on the market. The abnormal concentration of consumption makes the surrounding areas of the capital appear to be prosperous, but it gives people a feeling of rain and wind. .
Li Longji kept a calm face above the court and asked the trembling ministers outside what to do. At this time, Lu Yanzuo came out. He hadn't forgotten to calculate Zhang Zhong. He pointed out the cause and effect of the matter and pointed the finger everywhere. The champion building, the champion building not only sells itself, but also teaches the cooking methods.
The Zhuangyuan Building belongs to the Zhang Family of Sanshui. Why is there this dish? Because Zhang’s family has wine and others want to make it, they can only go to Zhang’s family to buy wine. Other rice wines are also okay, but the rice wine is not easy to preserve. If the local rice wine is produced in large quantities, the grain will not be able to keep up, and the amount will be too large.
It is different if it is diluted with high-grade wine. The taste may be a bit worse, but after all, it is also a delicious dish. Up.
Lu Yanzuo meant that Zhang Zhong was arrested, and two other officials who followed in his footsteps were also impeached at the same time. As a result, few people responded and other officials did not cooperate. The tea used on the furniture in my home was given by others.
Li Longji really wanted to take this opportunity to warn Zhang's family, it was too much, he already knew, and the flying pigeon sent a recipe.
But your family’s winemaking skills are so high that you can’t do that even if you want to sell for money, but when you see hundreds of officials, there are only a few people, and Li Longji is also uneasy to move Zhang Zhong.
This year’s Shuzhou tax was discounted to 280,000 guan. Even when the bank broke, Liu Zhirou, Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry, also learned technology in the past, plus a bridge and unfinished construction, let alone grabbing Zhang. It won't work if the loyalty is transferred back. Without him, the people of Wang Zhang's family would not be able to contribute.
With a secret sigh, Li Longji leaned back, a warmth came from his back, and then remembered that this very comfortable and warm chair he made was delivered directly from Luzhou in the first half month.
After taking a look at Lu Yanzuo's expectant gaze, Li Longji assumed that this hadn't happened, and continued to talk about other things. So early in the early days, he spent the early days in an atmosphere where Lu Yanzuo was aggrieved and other officials breathed a sigh of relief.
In the next dynasty, Li Longji wrote a letter to Bi Gou, Yao Chong and Liu Zhirou, meaning to let them solve the problem. The help lies on the legs of a pigeon belonging to Shuzhou that was sent to Shuzhou a few days after the chair. go with.
The old man Zhang's family received the pigeons and immediately sent them to Wangjiang County with a fast horse.
When the letter arrived, Liu Zhirou was leading the Ministry of Engineering and his nephew to observe the bridge across the river.
"I'm back, the emperor gave an order. I don't know what Zhang family wants to do. I don't know what Zhang family wants to do. I don't have to send a recipe at this time, or I can send it in summer. Isn't it cheating?"
After reading the letter, Old Man Bi said to Liu Zhirou.
In desperation, the four old men who hadn't stayed enough drove back in the car at the fastest speed. The destination was the yard of the four little guys of Zhang Wang's family.
…
"One two three jumps, one two three jumps."
The four of Old Man Bi did not come wrong. When they got there, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were taking a group of little guys to play, with their legs up and jumping.
Jumping and jumping to the gate of the yard, Zhang Xiaobao looked up and saw the four old men coming, and said hello with a smile, "Four grandpas, are you optimistic about the bridge? I thought it would take another two days to come back."
"I want to see it more, but it doesn't work, you slander, slander the meat made with wine, from the Beijing champion building, if you don't come back soon, I'll have to slander to death."
Old Man Bi looked helplessly at Zhang Xiaobao's face that seemed to really know nothing.
"Huh? So Grandpa Bi wants to eat braised pork with wine? It's not easy, let someone do it right away." Zhang Xiaobao was very happy.
"No, I can't afford it. Pork is too expensive. Even with other things, it becomes more expensive, Xiaobao, do you have to say something? The emperor is upset. Take a look. The letter is here."
Old Man Yao asked, shaking the piece of paper in his hand.
Zhang Xiaobao secretly chuckled, turned his head and glanced at Wang Juan, Wang Juan took a look at him, which meant that you should settle the matter by yourself.
"Now turn around, it's time to jump back, turn... OK, one, two, three, one, two, three..." Zhang Xiaobao first let the little guys continue to play, winked at the maid, and then the maid shouted. Take Wang Juan and the four old men to a yard dedicated to rest.
Zhang Xiaobao and the four old men sat down at a table, Wang Juan went to make tea, and Zhang Xiaobao spoke to the eyes of the four old men.
"I don’t blame my family for this. Can’t my family make a new dish? It has to be reasonable, mainly because there are many people in several places around the capital who don’t cooperate. Most people who have Zhuangzi think that it is too messy to raise things like this. Otherwise, how could the price of pork go up?"
The meaning of Zhang Xiaobao's words couldn't be clearer. The good technology of breeding was non-violently resisted. People in the north are lazy in winter, mainly cold, but isn't the coal and firewood in Huayuan County very cheap? Cotton cloth came out, and the price of linen cloth dropped again and again in and around the capital.
What are you afraid of wearing more? Can laziness lead a good life? The most annoying is that there are people with Zhuangzi. How good an opportunity to increase income is to hide. Pigs are too dirty and the price is several times higher. Do you still dislike it
"In your family, the cow does not drink water and presses its head. No one said to punish you, just to ask, is there any way to make up for it."
Liu Zhirou was a little embarrassed when she said this. His farm also didn’t raise them. It was cold in winter and didn’t want to move. If pigs were raised in summer, the taste would be too big. Now I know that the taste will be much smaller when combined with a biogas digester. , I didn't know before.
Zhang Xiaobao's tone eased when the four people were not here to inquire.
"Grandpa Liu, in fact, my family didn’t expect that one dish would be able to do this. The real delivery was more than ten dishes. We will cook braised pork ribs for you later, and then boil a bone marrow crab meatball. Grandpa Liu hurry up and contact us. Tell them about the biogas digester, but they don’t believe that they don’t raise pigs."
"Even if they raise them, they will have to do it tomorrow. Now the prices in the capital and surrounding areas are too high, and the pork must be lowered. What can your family do?"
What Old Man Yao cares most about is now.
"Is there any way, just take out the pork from Sanshui County."
