053 Homecoming 1
At Yangzhou Wharf, Li You took Yao Ping and Dogzi back by boat today.
After getting off the boat, the dog said: "Young Master, it's better to be Yangzhou, it's lively."
"Is it lively with us?"
"Hehe, it's incomparable. It has everything. You can buy everything you want. It's like Lingnan. You have to take a two-hour boat to buy everything."
Li You said: "Next year will be fine. Lingnan is rich in products. When the spring starts, all the crops will be planted. When the time comes, you will think there is a good place."
At home, four-year-old Yao Zhu hurried to the back house. Li Yao was talking to Yin'er in the house, and she heard Yao Zhu shouting: "Mother, mother, father and brother You are back..."
As soon as Li Yao heard that Li You was back, where he could still sit still, he hurried to the front yard after leaving the house. Yin'er also took Yao Zhu's hand and quickly followed.
In the front yard, Li You was arranging for someone to move the special products he brought over to the house. Li Yao came over. Without waiting for Li You to bow, she hugged Li You in her arms and burst into tears. . "You'er, you are finally back. My mother really misses you, so I hope you will come back soon."
"Mother, why are you crying, isn't You'er good, you're back, mother, you should be happy." Li You could only comfort him casually.
"Yes, You'er is right, mother should be happy." She said that she wiped the tears on her face.
Later, Li Yao looked at Li You carefully, and saw that this childish-looking son was already a little dark, and there was still that white and pure son. He felt uncomfortable at once, and felt sorry for his son, and tears too. Then it came out again.
It was Yin'er who took her daughter Yao Zhu to see Yao Ping not so excited. Although there were tears, at least there was a smile on her face. For Yin'er, as long as Yao Ping came back safely, even now Yao Ping Ping is even darker than Li You, and a little thinner.
Afterwards, everyone went back to the inner house, and they had something to say slowly. Especially Yin'er and Yao Ping, their husband and wife have not seen each other for almost a year. New Bayi Chinese website first released https://https://
In the front yard, Gouzi continued to greet people to move things. At this time, Chen Wei also ran over and asked as soon as he arrived, "Gouzi, you are finally back, but I miss you! Why are you alone? Young Master? What?"
"Of course the young master went back to the house, hehe, you kid is so anxious, do you want to ask Chen Yu's letter?" Gouzi asked with a smile.
"Hehe, as a elder brother, I definitely want to know if my brother is well now."
"Don't worry, Chen Yu is very good. This kid, who is capable and dared to go hunting without problems, is so courageous. Now he can open seven bows."
Chen Fan was also a little surprised when he heard that, he could only shoot a crossbow, but couldn't shoot two arrows. His brother could shoot seven bows for hunting, which was already very good. You must know that Tang Jun's bow used for shooting at this time was the Seven Doubow, and Chen Yu was not yet fifteen years old, showing that his strength was no longer small.
How much bow strength a bow has, this can be weighed out. Fix the bow on a special scale, and then hang a heavy object on the bowstring. When the bow is completely pulled apart, the weight of the heavy object hanging on the bowstring is In the Tang Dynasty, one stone was equal to 53 kilograms for later generations, and a stone bow was already considered a strong bow.
"Gouzi, how is the construction of Lingnan now? See you all, I want to see it too."
"It's almost done. It should be completed next year. Where is the best place, there are mountains, waters, and seas. It's just now just now. When everything is straightened out, you go and keep it and you will like it. You don't know. , The young master there has already built a shipyard and plans to build ships by himself, so there will be no need to charter ships in the future."
"Young Master is powerful enough!"
"Hehe, Brother Wu is the most powerful, and he has already married a house wife."
"Ah! Tell me, what's going on." The two followed and went gossiping.
In Li You’s room in the inner house, Li You was also talking about Lingnan’s experience with her mother. When she said that she would take her mother to see the next year, Li Yao kept nodding her head. Hearing what Li You said about Lingnan so well, she still I really want to go see it, but when she thinks of taking a sea boat, she feels a little embarrassed.
But Li You said: "Mother, the boy has built a shipyard in the manor, and a big ship will be built next year. This ship sails on the sea, but it is more stable and faster than other sea ships. If the calculation is correct, It should take less than ten days to reach the manor from Yangzhou."
"You'er, why do you think about building your own ships?" Li Yao also didn't quite understand what Li You meant. They were not maritime merchants, and it seemed unnecessary to build shipyards and ships.
"Mother, today’s sea-going ships are slow and bumpy. Secondly, they have insufficient capacity. Children built large ships, but they have more and more stable ships than today’s sea-going ships. Later, they will transport goods from Lingnan to Yangzhou for sale. It will also save a lot of costs. Like sugar and tea, they can be quickly shipped to Yangzhou, so a good ship has to be built by itself."
Speaking of tea, Li Yao said to Li You: "By the way, You'er, this fried tea, you sent some back from Lingnan this year, part of it will be tribute to the palace, and part of me will let me open a tea shop in the city. Zhuang, it sold out in five days. It seems that you have to prepare more for this fried tea."
"Mother can rest assured that the tea-fried tea workshop has now been completed, and the amount of tea-fried tea will be greatly increased in the future. Next year, Haier can guarantee that there will be tens of stone of fried tea. As for the varieties, Haier plans to next year Three different kinds of tea trees will be transplanted. By then, this roasted tea will become popular."
While talking about this, a servant came to report: "Madam, Shao Langjun, Cui family, Lin family, Yang family three treasurers outside the door to see you."
"You take them into the hall, and I will be there later."
"Yes, ma'am." After giving a salute, he went out.
Li You looked at his mother and asked, "Mother, why are these businesses looking for my Li family?"
Later, Li Yao told Li You about the matter. These three companies came here to buy soap and dental sets. Don’t look at the soap and toothbrushes of the Li family. Li Longji didn’t care too much at the time. He just gave the things to his two favorite concubines. One of them was Concubine Wu Hui. After she used it, she was full of praise. From then on, these two gadgets have become good items sought after by the noble ladies in the capital, not to mention them, nowadays, among the big family in Beijing, there is no one that does not use the two things of the Li family. The prices of these two things have also been rising. Nowadays, for a piece of soap that is one inch thick, two inches wide, and three inches long, his mother Li Yao directly mentioned the price of 500 yuan, and the selling price in Beijing has exceeded the consistent price. Even the toothbrush that was sold for thirty cents is now shipped at one hundred cents.
Because the selling price of soap is too low, it has been discontinued and all changed to soap. Although the Lijia Workshop does not produce soap in large quantities, it can produce more than 200 pieces a day. Now this is the most profitable one, which can be brought in one day. Baiguan's income was a bit beyond Li You's expectation. (End of this chapter)
