To solve the problem of garlic price increase, Zhang Xiaobao has never been to Henan Province personally from the beginning to the end, nor has he been as nervous and anxious as others when they encounter problems.
The people farther away from Henan did not know that, not long ago, a war of 2 million yuan, or 2 billion yuan, was ended there, and there was no gunpowder.
As the wind logistics that provoked this war, the name and surname of Fengzhi Logistics have been changed. The three leading players have lost their money, and the supporters have not gotten well. The attacker has a small surplus, and at the same time, it is not too far away. The resettlement and employment issues of the people in several disaster-stricken areas.
The news spread to the capital in the blink of an eye. Those who followed the matter had learned about the situation from start to finish. Suddenly they felt a particularly comfortable feeling, like a hot summer, when they were hungry and thirsty in the desert, they poured cold sour plum soup. Zhang Xiaobao dealt with the wind. The means of logistics are too smooth.
Not only solved the logistics of the wind, but also taught the merchants who followed the logistics of the wind to drive up the price of garlic, and benefited the merchants who came to be thugs. In the future, a new food, sweet garlic, is expected to be tasted. The food made from garlic sprouts also straightened out the income problems of the people in the disaster-stricken areas.
"Guo Shi, this is my Guo Shi, how do you say that?" Li Longji said happily when he got the news when he ate the tomatoes grown in glass boron from Jian'an.
That is to say, Gao Lishi, who knew the emperor, could not think of what the emperor would ask for another person. He put down a tomato that he saw in his mouth and replied: "His Majesty said that Xiao He once said, "The generals are easy to get ears, and those who believe in it, the scholar of the country Wushuang'?"
"En... Exactly, it's actually not Wushuang. There is also the cuckoo. Speaking of the cuckoo, I just thought that she has stabilized recently and is not thinking about leading the soldiers to attack others."
Li Longji nodded.
Gao Lishi shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, the cuckoos did not move, but they wrote to the Ministry of War, and asked the Ministry of War to conduct sand table exercises or even real-field exercises. The Red and Blue Army will be divided into two armies, artillery and hot air balloons, and the other will have knives, guns and sticks. ."
"Eh? The cuckoo remembered taking people for fun? How can swords, guns and clubs beat artillery?" Li Longji was surprised.
"Your Majesty, that's the case, so the cuckoo stipulates that those who have knives, guns and clubs are ten times as many as artillery. The priority is to choose terrain and climate, that is, there are more people and less people." Gao Lishi introduced the general situation.
"No, no." Li Longji waved his hand and said, "That would not be possible, unless...Unless the cuckoo can lead ten times the soldiers himself, there may be a glimmer of hope."
"Otherwise, Your Majesty, Juanjuan is not saying that. She mentioned in the plan to the Ministry of War that anyone who wins with ten times the pawn, chooses the terrain, and chooses the right weather is qualified. If the three times pawn, Choose your own terrain and choose the weather to win the battle. It is for good. Anyone who has the same strength and chooses the terrain and weather is the best. However, these three are not true military gods. The military gods should have the same number of troops and can fight in any terrain and weather. And win it."
Gao Lishi talked about the detailed rating.
"Then who can do it? The terrain and weather have a heavy impact, so you have to check it." Li Longji also has a better understanding of the military, and said.
"Your Majesty, Juan Juan said that in the fall of this year, if she has time, she can use the same force to fight against the generals of Datang under any terrain and weather to warn the generals of Datang. Don't think that you can underestimate the enemy if you have good weapons. Those who live and die are like the weather, changeable, and will go to other places in the future, without the opportunity to choose the climate and topography, and change with the situation, it is for Tao."
"Oh? There are other things like this? I am looking forward to it. Even if Wanqiying is ready, let them train me well, and I don't know where the cuckoo wants to fight? Now I start to prepare."
Li Longji is interested in the exercise, and what he wants to know is where the cuckoo wants his sword to point.
"The minister wrote it down."
"The cuckoo thing is still some time away, Xiaobao uses the plan, do you think it is over?" Li Longji thought of Zhang Xiaobao again. He saw the serial plan for the logistics of the wind, but he felt that he was still in the mood.
Gao Lishi expressed the same meaning and said: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that it is not finished. It is impossible for Xiaobao to use a single calculation to achieve such a small gain. One million sticks, a lot of the treasury, and a part of it for participation. The sniping businessman, Xiaobao had only an empty logistics, and there was no shortage of logistics in his home.
Moreover, according to the minister’s understanding, Xiaobao’s retaliatory heart is more serious. This time the incident will ultimately be attributed to Japan. It belongs to a transnational commercial war. In this case, Xiaobao should continue the war and at the same time make some benefits for his own family. It's all like this. It's not a little money to do this, it's... it's that..."
"I'm afraid that I'm jealous, I'm afraid that others will say that he is a saint, and his power will be the master. Then when I turn my face, he will fight with me and affect the lives of the people of Datang. He can't bear it, right?"
Before Gao Lishi finished speaking, Li Longji took over.
Gao Lishi knelt in front of Li Longji with a "plop" in fright, "Your Majesty, the minister dare not, even if your Majesty wants to kill him, Xiaobao will stretch his neck and won't face your Majesty."
"Okay, according to Xiaobao's words, you went to the grave and burned the newspaper to fool the ghost? I believe you will not, and I believe that they will, but I am not worried. Very accurate, even if I give them a seat now, they will not sit. They are afraid of trouble and cannot wander around.
Don't talk about it, help me think about it, what will Xiaobao follow? I sometimes feel that watching Xiaobao's tricks is more interesting than listening to the court officials discussing things. "
Li Longji felt like Mingjing in his heart, and as he said, he was not confused yet.
Gao Lishi did not refute, "Yes, the minister burns the newspaper, and the minister also thinks Xiaobao's tricks are fun."
"Yes, newspapers. Speaking of newspapers, now the local newspapers that have telegrams in various places should be able to keep up with the capital? In the past, it was only the places around the capital that could get the news early. Farther, how fast did they get the news? When the news came, it was so late.
Let me think about it. There are business opportunities. In the past, newspapers everywhere were good at half-monthly publications. The advertising costs were very low and there were few people buying newspapers. The main reason was that the speed of news delivery was slow, so the price could not be raised. Now..."
"Your Majesty, don't think about it. Xiaobao has already telegraphed a detailed plan in the morning. The minister has not had time to read it all. He just remembered to write a sentence in the most conspicuous place above, saying that the price of the newspaper will be controlled by one article in the future, and It’s not the current eight-page sixteen edition, at least sixty-four editions, or even one hundred and twenty-eight editions."
Gao Lishi didn't want to interrupt the emperor, but he was worried that the emperor thought that at the end, he found that the idea was not as good as Xiaobao's idea, and he should be sulking.
"En?" Li Longji was taken aback, "According to this calculation, the person who bought the newspaper can sell the waste paper and also sell the money spent on buying it. Is that a newspaper? That's a book."
"The minister will go and fetch it, let your majesty take a closer look, the minister is not clear." Gao Lishi hurried away, after a short while, he returned with two pieces of paper in his hand.
"Your Majesty, I have read it on the road for the first time, and I will not pay. At the 128th edition, there are 120 editions that may be advertisements. Seeing that there are many people selling advertisements, the merchants who advertise are naturally willing to spend more money to buy. People find that what they can buy for a penny can still be sold for a penny. Even if they are not sold, they are used to paste walls, set off fire, or even use it as paper for practicing calligraphy.
You can also print short stories and jokes in the newspapers to add an income to literate people who don’t have a reputation and can’t find a good job. Xiaobaoxin said that at least 80% of those who have children in school at home can buy newspapers. Not for the things written above, just for the pride of letting the children read it for help. "
Gao Lishi did not show the letter to the emperor, only explained it to the emperor.
Li Longji summed up slightly, agreeing: "That's right, everyone bought the newspaper and asked the children to sit in front of the door to read. There are also children in Wang's family studying in the school. After seeing and hearing it, they will inevitably buy newspapers to let their children also. Read in front of the door, oops, in this way, children can practice more outside the school.
If I want to do anything in the future, I only need to have someone write a supporting sentence in the newspaper and tell the truth. When I do it, the people will be very supportive, and it will serve multiple purposes.
Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Xiaobao, I have thought of everything. I really want to transfer him directly to the capital to be the prime minister, but he is still too young. Li Shi, can he take the imperial examination now? Let him participate in Chunwei next year. I will give him a champion. With his talents, isn't it my preference? "
"No, Xiaobao won the champion. No one dares to slander it. If you don't become the champion, it will be difficult to stop everyone in the world. Not only I will be questioned by the people of Tang Dynasty, but even other countries will also read jokes.
It’s just that the ministers look at what they mean. The cuckoo also wants to take the imperial examination. Xiaobao is sometimes afraid of the cuckoo. For example, other wealthy people like him already have a girl who warms the bed, or choose a concubine, occasionally Go to Goulan to drink and listen to music.
But Xiaobao not only didn't do these things, but occasionally cooked cuckoos for cuckoos. How could a man, who is not a cook, do such a thing? The minister sometimes really couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, the cuckoo was not a shrew, otherwise the minister would not agree with anything. "
Gao Lishi thinks of Wang Juan again, and feels injustice for his godson.
Li Longji didn't want to care who Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan listened to. He took the telegram in Gao Lishi's hand, looking every word.
※※※※
"Taibai, the Furong Garden will pay for a cocktail party the next day. I heard that there is a big person who wants to come. You might as well prepare early. Then you might be spotted. Change to a more suitable position. I will see you handle the report all day long. Looking listless, the job of the household department is really not suitable for you."
In the office of the Ministry of Households, Li Bai sat under the window, comparing data from several sets of tables on the table below, and occasionally turning his head to look at the scenery of the slanting sun outside. When he was taking the time to sigh, he was sitting at a table behind him. The person leaned in and said in a low voice.
Li Bai knew who it was without having to look at it. The master book of the three realms in the household department was of a lower grade than his own. He always asked himself for poems and then used it to show off.
Hearing the Furong Garden he mentioned, he thought that the banks of the Qujiang River there were already green, Li Bai's brows stretched slightly, but before he was filled with joy, the corners of his mouth moved, shaking his head and sighing: "No, I want to put the watch. Do it well. Drinking was delayed a few days ago. If you don’t go, don’t go anywhere."
"It's really a big man. It seems that there is a princess. If there is another princess who will go and fall in love with you, then..." The director seems not to give up and continue to persuade him. In fact, his purpose is to get Li Bai to change his place. He can easily take Li Bai's position.
Li Bai still shook his head. Seeing him urging him tightly, he picked up the brush placed on the pen pillow, and said to him: "Brother Qi Sheng, haven't you been wondering how I got this time? Curious who recommended it?"
"Yes, yes, too white, do you want to tell me?" The master nodded, looking forward to it.
"I didn’t want to tell you before. I was also planning to find a place to worship in the capital, so I could choose a better place. However, anyone I found would ask me where I was before and know who recommended it, but immediately I changed my recommendation at the beginning and only talked about Fengyue with me."
When Li Bai thought of the shock he had received during this period, he couldn't help feeling frustrated.
The master book probed his neck, "Who did you look for?"
"I have looked for Shangshu Wang Zhao from the Ministry of Households, He Zhizhang, Yuan Qianyao, and even sent a post to Concubine Wu Hui. Anyway, I found all the people who gave me the opportunity to see me. The result was still Same."
Li Bai said his name by himself, and the bookkeeper was surprised and envious. He didn’t expect that Li Bai could be summoned by so many people. He didn’t have the ability. Suddenly he thought of someone alone and said to Li Bai: "Tai Bai, you didn’t Go to Zhang Zhong, Shangshu from the Ministry of Engineering? He might be able to do something."
"Look for him? Hey... I was recommended by his son Zhang Xiaobao. When I was in Jilizhou, it was Jian'an. Zhang Xiaobao asked me which official I wanted, but I didn't give it to the fifth-grade one, so I had to choose one.
I thought that even though Zhang Xiaobao told me to take care of me when I first came to the capital, I could find someone to pay a visit by myself. Wouldn't it be all right if I was arranged by someone else again
I also blame my self-righteousness. I only think that Zhang Xiaobao is famous, rich in family and smart, but it will not affect the officials in the capital that much. To be honest, when I came, I thought Zhang Xiaobao’s casual recommendation letter was useless. At least others should have a decent paper, right? He got a note, wrote a recommendation to me, and finally named me.
I came here in anxiety and full of expectation, but since I came to the present, I haven't moved anywhere. Can you blame me? Who could know that broken note... Who could know? "
When Li Bai spoke, his voice was crying, and his body trembled slightly.
The master finally understood this time. He patted Li Bai's shoulder with understanding, and said, "Taobai, you should think I have not told you about the Furong Garden. I will not ask you to go to this kind of place in the future. It's all, don't think about other things, it's useless, it's useless to find anyone.
Even if today’s sage goes to the Furong Garden the day after tomorrow and sees the poem you wrote, he suddenly feels that you should be promoted, but after knowing that you are recommended by Zhang Xiaobao to the Ministry of Household Affairs, he will continue to encourage you to be in the position of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Do.
In fact, I envy you and I hate you for not making progress. If I can get Zhang Xiaobao's recommendation, no matter where I am in my position, I will do things well, so that Zhang Xiaobao is satisfied and can continue to be promoted. You are begging for a golden rice bowl.
Continue to check your watch, drink less in the future, and ask me if you don’t understand. I heard that Zhang Xiaobao is about to return to the capital. You behave better. When you rise up, I can sit in your position. If there is a chance, I can let me. Say something to Zhang Xiaobao, Xiaobei is fine too, I will invite you to have a drink once in a while. "
Li Bai gratefully looked at the master book and nodded: "I already know that the official is not good enough. I decided to have a drink in the next three days, but I was tired to death by being in charge of the form. I don't know how Zhang Xiaobao manages that. What a mess, I heard about Wind Logistics, but I can't figure it out."
"If you don't figure it out, don't think about it. Just think about it. Zhang Xiaobao did it. Everything will be figured out. Too white. If you don't want to do anything today, it's better to take a vacation after the morning and I will go to the champion building to drink with you. Have a good meal and start working hard tomorrow.
The Zhuangyuan Building posted a new recipe on the outside this morning. Ten dishes are all related to garlic sprouts. I still have 40 registered cash coupons for dining in Zhangwang’s two restaurants this season, because last season It is only given when you get an excellent book during the evaluation. "
In order to have the opportunity to meet Zhang Xiaobao, the master plans to further develop the relationship with Li Bai.
Garlic seedlings are indeed a good thing. Some people think they are more delicious than leeks. With the appearance and end of the logistics of the wind, garlic seedlings became a popular item for a while.
In order to attract customers, the restaurants and restaurants all followed the example of Zhang Wang's two restaurants and introduced a series of garlic sprouts.
Anyone who eats garlic sprouts will tell the story of the logistics of the wind in Henan Daofeng when they eat it, talk about how powerful the Fengqiao is at the time, talk about the north and south of the river, the Yellow River, and the people at home and abroad, and the people can’t eat garlic. Suffering, and finally emphasized that Zhang Xiaobao was originally from the heights.
Anyway, it is to tell the diners that what you eat is not garlic sprouts, it means loneliness and loneliness.
After half a month, the garlic sprouts are on fire, and the price of garlic has increased a little bit. It can’t reach the level of Fengqiao Zheng'er frying. The main reason is that the garlic seedlings can be cut a few stubbles. More than the garlic clove itself.
The garlic sprouts are on fire, and accordingly, the price of leeks, which are about the same length as the garlic sprouts, has begun to drop.
Just when some people were worried that leeks would not sell well, and Li Longji was looking forward to how Zhang Xiaobao would benefit his family, Shuiyunjian and Bihaiyinsha once again launched a series of dishes, full leeks feast.
Most of the methods of leeks are not unusual. What’s surprising is that I don’t know where the King Zhang family got so many leeks, which are like garlic sprouts. This thing is strange. After tasting it, I found that it is not as spicy as leeks. , And it has the same tenderness as garlic sprouts.
Rare things are priced at a high price. Others can't get them. If you want to taste them, you can only go to Zhangwang's two restaurants. Affected by the garlic sprouts, many people have a preference for leek, which looks similar to garlic sprouts.
