Chapter 188: A dish raises prices

I don’t know what Old Man Bi and the other two were thinking. Just two days after Zhang Xiaobao came up with an idea, Old Man Bi and others really joined forces to send the method to the capital. It seems that it really means that it really needs to be done as it should.

After Liu Zhirou got good things in a row, she also wanted to see the bridge. The four old men greeted each other and formed a group to go to Wangjiang County.

With the departure of the four old men, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's lives returned to relative peace and they no longer had to worry about government affairs.

Li Xun didn't come to disturb him either. He was busy practicing and practicing near Qianshan. Unlike the practices that others practiced in terms of luxury, Li Xun's practices only required that the place could be defecated enough.

The people who had nothing to do in the villages near Qianshan were recruited by Li Xun to help him work. The people who had no wages were not angry because Li Xun said that after the construction was completed, they would not find someone to maintain it outside, and they would choose people who could not find work to maintain it from the surrounding villages.

Li Cheng, who was in charge, didn't know what Li Xun was going to do. He found Li Xun while commanding the people and asked for advice: "Young Master, you are practicing this. If someone comes to see it, you will probably laugh at you. The place is quite small, but Qianshan is not as good as Taihu Lake. Why not build a luxury place?"

Li Xun used to ask what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were going to do. Xingzai's design was also proposed by two people. Today, he was finally asked by someone else. He coughed in a pretentious manner and said, "Do you don't understand?"

Li Cheng cooperated and nodded violently, looking like he was waiting for guidance, but he really didn't understand why Xingzai had to practice so simply in remote places.

"If you don't understand, ask, don't keep it in your heart. I'll ask you, why do people live?" Li Xun did a lot of effort.

"For what?" Li Cheng asked, as if he was asking others or as if he was asking himself.

"It's too difficult, right? Then why are you alive for?" Li Xun asked again.

Li Cheng did not answer immediately, and lowered his head slightly and thought about it. Li Xun was not in a hurry, waiting while watching the people help him practice.

Li Cheng thought for a while and replied, "Young Master, I was sold into the mansion at a very young age. I sold it myself. At that time, I just didn't want to starve to death. At that time, maybe I was just to eat and eat enough. Later, I became different from my master. I could make others look down on me, and sometimes I rely on my master's identity to bully people.

Later, I ran to Sanshui County and saw restaurants making money and wanted to make more money. Now, I don’t know why I still have to live. The young master is rich and I have money too. Maybe my life is a habit. If I think about it this way, it seems that even if I die, it’s nothing.”

After hearing Li Cheng's words, Li Xun nodded in agreement, "You are not bad, and you didn't think about continuing to climb to a too high position, but I can't do it. I also have to be responsible for living, and I am afraid that the goal is too small, so I achieved it in a few days. So I set a big goal for myself. I live in order to let all the people of the Tang Dynasty live a good life."

Li Xun's voice was not loud, but Li Cheng heard from it that Li Xun's determination was too loud, but what does this have to do with practice?

Before he could ask, Li Xun told him, "Other people's actions are exhausting and losing money. If you repair a job, you may not go once a year. The luxurious layout inside costs money. Many of the land you take up is idle, and people who are doing things do not work hard, which is a waste.

Even if I waste my own money, I don’t be such a person. As long as it is my stuff, I will find ways to make it produce money and use it on the people.”

"Young Master, wouldn't it be faster to make money by the Taihu Lake?"

"Even if I can't get over that place, I can still make money. Can I not come here? What I want is not a certain place that can prosper, but the prosperity of the entire Shuzhou."

Li Xun waved his hand hard, and the meaning included the entire Shuzhou.

Li Cheng looked around and suddenly realized that the former young master Hou was really growing up and it was time to get married.

"Li Cheng, although the Zhang family and the Wang family are still in Shuzhou, they don't care too much. They just came up with an idea and gave me the opportunity to build Shuzhou. They also came up with the idea of ​​building a journey in Qianshan and the simplicity of the construction."

"That……"

"This tells you why, because my career is not a decoration, it is to turn into a zoo and a botanical garden. As long as it is an animal and plant that can be raised here, I will find a way to raise it.

Don’t have the tickets first, do you know the tickets? You can just read them casually, and there are special people who will introduce them. The repairs are too luxurious, so the people dare not come to see them. It’s so simple. People who are close to you will come here and will help me promote them after reading them.

When there are more animals and more famous, there are more people who come here. Of course, there are wealthy people. Those who can eat in zoos and botanical gardens will be prepared for them. They are willing to eat them. Local people can also sell souvenirs here, especially local local products, and then..."

"Then the people have money in their hands. If they want to live a good life, the economy will gradually develop. Can they collect tickets? Raising animals also costs money."

Li Cheng suddenly became smarter at this time. Before Li Xun finished speaking, he guessed a rough idea. After interrupting, he realized that he had interrupted the young master.

Li Xun didn't care. Seeing that Li Cheng could think of this, he nodded happily and said, "Yes, that's the arrangement. The houses he is in are simple. When the rich come, rent them to them. You can demolish them and build them yourself. It's enough to use the rent to maintain the zoo and botanical garden.

My identity is, even if they want to curry favor with me, they have to spend that money. With them and the market here, this place will gradually prosper, and they will build Qianshan into tourist attractions and allow them to invest in it. By then... you know?"

"I know, I know, then the young master can stay at home to collect money, and the identity of Prince Tong'an will be more stable." Li Cheng replied.

"Wrong, I will leave at that time, and continue to be the prince in another place. I will exchange the prosperity of Tong'an, that is, Shuzhou, for two or three such poor places. The emperor will be willing to do so. After all, I have stopped too many rents and taxes here, and the more prosperous the court will lose."

Li Xun is now addicted to building a place. The poorer he is, the more he wants to go and develop it.

"Young master is dedicated to serving the people. I admire you for the young, so I will let you do it quickly." Li Cheng was indeed impressed by Li Xun's words.

Compared to Qianshan where Li Xun is located, the temperature is not too low and the dry and cold. It has already snowed three times in the capital. In this time, the beef and mutton from Yanzhou and other places in the north will not be transported here, and the meat prices in the capital will rise.

But today is different from previous years. Although meat is still something that ordinary people cannot eat casually, the price increase is relatively small, and it has not doubled or more at once, and has only increased by less than 50%.

The high price of beef is not just because it is too little, but because it is not allowed to be killed casually. Usually, people who can come from other places will find ways to kill a few, especially in winter.

Lamb is purely a transportation problem. As a result, the price of pork has also increased by about 40%. Those who can't afford to eat mutton will switch to pork, and eating sauerkraut pots is popular.

As a result, the price of pork rose a little, but that was nothing. With a pigeon flying from Shuzhou, Zhuangyuanlou immediately launched a new dish. After making braised pork with wine, the price of pork grew and grew.

Now the court finally found something wrong. The price of pork increased, and the transportation industry also flourished, and the price of hay eaten by livestock also increased. There was not enough hay and soybeans to eat.

Then other prices also rose, which was the impact of a single popular material on the market. The very concentrated consumption made the surrounding areas of the capital prosperous, but it gave people the feeling of a storm coming and wind filling the building.

Li Longji asked the ministers who were trembling outside with a calm face in the court. At this time, Lu Yanzuo came out. He had not forgotten to plot against Zhang Zhong. He pointed the cause and effect of the matter at the top of the throne building. The top of the throne building not only sold it himself, but also taught the way of cooking.

Zhuangyuanlou is from the Zhang family in Sanshui. Why does this dish have? Because there is wine in the Zhang family, others can only go to the Zhang family to buy wine. Other rice wines are fine, but rice wine is not easy to preserve. If the local rice wine is produced in large quantities, the grain will not keep up and the amount will be too large.

It is different to use high-quality wine to blend and dilute it instead. The taste may be a bit worse, but after all, it is also a delicious dish. No matter how expensive it is, it is not as good as beef and meat, so in the novel situation, more people eat it.

Lu Yanzuo meant to arrest Zhang Zhong, and two officials who followed his footsteps were also impeached at the same time. As a result, there were few responders, and other officials did not cooperate. Some were already numb, some were also buying and selling at home, and some were even given tea from furniture used at home.

Li Longji really wanted to take this opportunity to warn the Zhang family. It was too much. He already knew that the flying pigeon gave the recipe.

But your family has high skills in making wine and can't do this if you want to sell it. But seeing that all the officials didn't speak out, there were only a few people, Li Longji was not easy to move Zhang Zhong.

This year, Shuzhou’s rent and taxes were 280,000 yuan. When the dam was broken, Liu Zhirou, the Minister of Works, also learned technology. With a bridge and unfinished construction, let alone arresting it, it would not be possible to transfer Zhang Zhong back. Without him, the people of the Zhang and Wang families would not work.

He sighed secretly, and Li Longji leaned back, and a warm current came from his back. Then he remembered that the very comfortable and warm chair he made was sent directly from Luzhou in the first half of a month.

After looking at Lu Yanzuo's anticipated gaze, Li Longji pretended that the incident had not happened and continued to talk about other things. So the morning court was spent in the atmosphere of Lu Yanzuo and the rest of the officials breathing a sigh of relief.

After the court, Li Longji wrote a letter to Bi Gou, Yao Chong and Liu Zhirou, which meant to let them solve the problem. He helped the pigeons who came to Shuzhou, who were sent together a few days later, and went to Shuzhou.

Old Man Zhang's family received the pigeon and immediately sent it to Wangjiang County with a fast horse.

When the letter arrived, Liu Zhirou took the staff from the Ministry of Works and her nephew to observe the cross-river bridge.

"I'm back, the emperor gave the order. I don't know what the Zhang family wants to do. I have to give it a recipe at this time, and it's okay to give it in summer. Isn't it a scam?"

Old Man Bi read the letter and said to Liu Zhirou.

The four old men who had not stayed enough had no choice but to take the bus and rush back as fast as possible. The destination was the yard of the four little guys from Zhang and Wang family.

"One, two, three jumps, one, two, three jumps."

The old man Bi and the other two were indeed right. When they arrived at the place, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were playing with each other, just their legs were on and they jumped one after another.

As he jumped, he jumped to the entrance of the yard. Zhang Xiaobao looked up and saw four old men coming. He smiled and said hello, "Four grandpas, do you look at the bridge? I thought I would not be back in two days."

"I want to see more, but it's not OK. I'm slandering, the meat made of wine is the top scholar in the capital. If I don't come back soon, I will die of slandering."

Old Man Bi said helplessly looking at Zhang Xiaobao's face that seemed to really know nothing.

"Ah? It turns out that Grandpa Bi wants to make braised pork with wine? That's not easy, so I'll make it right away." Zhang Xiaobao was very happy.

"No, I can't afford it. The pork is too expensive, and even other things are also expensive. Xiaobao, do you have to say something? The emperor is unhappy, look, the letter has been sent."

Old man Yao asked with the paper shaking in his hand.

Zhang Xiaobao laughed secretly and turned his head to look at Wang Juan. Wang Juan flew at him, which meant that you should settle the things you caused.

"Now turn around, it's time to jump back, turn~! OK, one, two, three jumps, one, two, three jumps..." Zhang Xiaobao asked the little guys to continue playing, gave the maid a wink, and the maid continued to shout, and then he took Wang Juan and the four old men to a yard dedicated to rest.

Zhang Xiaobao and the four old men found a table to sit down. Wang Juan went to make tea. In response to the eyes of the four old men, Zhang Xiaobao spoke.

"It's actually not my family's fault. Can't my family make a new dish? It's necessary to reason. The main reason is that many people in several places around the capital do not cooperate. It's just a little tiring to raise condoms. It's lazy, especially most people with farms. They think that raising things like this is too chaotic, otherwise how could the price of pork rise?"

Zhang Xiaobao's words are very clear. The good technique of condom maintenance was actually resisted by non-violent force. People in the north are lazy in winter, mainly cold, but aren't coal and firewood in Huayuan County very cheap? Cotton cloth has come out, and the price of linen cloth has been falling again and again in the capital and surrounding areas.

What are you afraid of when wearing more clothes? Can you live a good life if you are lazy? The most annoying thing is people with farms. If you have a good chance of increasing your income, you have to hide. If you want to raise pigs, you will think it is dirty and the price is several times higher. Do you still dislike it?

"Your family is like a cow who is forced to press his head without drinking water. No one said he would punish you. Just ask, if you are rushing, is there any way to make up for it?"

Liu Zhirou was a little embarrassed when she said this. His farm was not condom-raising, and she was unwilling to move in winter. If you raise pigs in summer, the taste was too great. Now you know that it can be much smaller with the biogas pool. I didn’t know it before.

When Zhang Xiaobao saw that the four people were not here to ask for guilt, his tone eased.

"Grandpa Liu, actually my family didn't expect that a dish would be like this. There are more than ten dishes that were sent. I'll make braised pork ribs for you later, and then boil a bone marrow crab meatball. Grandpa Liu quickly contacted someone to tell them about the biogas tank, and I don't believe 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. Pork must be reduced. What can you do?"

What Old Man Yao cares most about now is now.

"What else can I do? Just take out the pork from Sanshui County."
