Chapter 575 Arrival

Originally there were 42 carriages neatly lined up in the West Courtyard, but now there are only forty carriages left. Those two carriages were taken away by Li Jing and Hong Funu, and the bearded man followed them to Duke Wei's mansion.

After all, he is sworn brother, since the bearded guest came to Chang'an, of course he has to live in Duke Wei's mansion.

Even though there were two missing carriages, Princess Changle still had a headache looking at the carriages in the courtyard: "Mr. Lang, I have made a careful calculation. The warehouse in our house is almost full, so we can't put so many spices in it."

Seeing Princess Changle's sad face, Su Cheng couldn't help but feel very funny. Who would have thought that Princess Changle would be worried because there were too many spices at home?

Su Cheng smiled and said, "What are you worrying about, keep a few cars for a share, and take the rest to Dongshi to sell!"

Princess Changle was surprised when she heard that: "Ah? Sell them all? Our family is not short of money, why sell them?"

The preciousness of spices is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although she was very worried about how to clean them up, Princess Changle felt very distressed when Su Cheng said that they would sell them all.

Su Cheng couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not a good thing. Overseas spice islands are everywhere, leaving a few carriages is enough for several years. Why do you keep so many spices?"

Wu Jue smiled and said, "Even if you want to sell it, you can't sell it all at once! There are so many spices on the market at once, and the price will definitely be lowered. It's better to keep them and sell them slowly. Anyway, spices are in short supply, so I'm not afraid to sell them." stay home."

Princess Changle nodded and said: "Sister Wu is right, there is no need to rush to sell."

Su Cheng pondered: "Actually, I wanted to stimulate everyone. At the beginning, I tried my best to promote overseas wealth, but everyone was only excited for a while. Although they also had plans to go overseas, they were not very active."

"I'll use these dozens of carts of spices as firewood and add another fire to everyone, so as to set their bathing fire alight."

Cui Mo said weakly: "Grandpa, why did you let everyone go to sea? Aren't they trying to rob our family of spices? Why don't we make a fortune secretly?"

This asked everyone's heartfelt thoughts, no matter whether it was Princess Changle, Wu Jue or Yingluo, all the maids couldn't figure it out.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "You need to be broad-minded, and have a long-term vision. It's just spices. It's worth a few dollars. The real big head is the overseas market."

"The world is big, far bigger than you imagine, so the market is so big that one person or a few families can't eat it. If we want to open up overseas markets, we can't do it alone. Only when everyone goes to sea and works together, can the sea trade develop.”

"The porcelain and brocades of our Tang Dynasty are in short supply wherever they are shipped, but what they bring back are boatloads of gold, silver, gems, and spices. In comparison, the Spice Island is only worth a few dollars."

Cuimo, Yingluo and other maids still half understand, but Princess Changle and Wu Jue have suddenly realized.

It suddenly dawned on her, but Princess Changle was still a little bit reluctant, after all, spices are precious things.

"Do you really want to sell them all?" Princess Changle asked.

Seeing Princess Changle's reluctance, Su Cheng said with a smile: "Okay, okay, then leave more, mainly because it's useless to leave too much, slowly there are more boats going out to sea, and the spices will not be enough. It's worth it."

When Princess Changle heard it, she became entangled again. Su Cheng suddenly had an idea and smiled: "Actually, spices can also be extracted to make perfume, but I don't know how to make it and which ones to use according to the ratio. It takes time." Slow experiment."

When Princess Changle heard it, she was immediately refreshed. It would be great if she could extract the essence of spices. As for how to configure it, she can try it out slowly. Anyway, she is idle at home, so she just took Yingluo and the others to find something to do.

Once the configuration is successful in the future, the price of the spice is one price, but the price of the perfume is another price!

"Lang Jun, why don't you just sell half and keep the other half, okay? Keep twenty cars, just enough to fit in the warehouse." Princess Changle said softly.

Isn't it just a pile of firewood?Su Cheng didn't care, and he didn't care if he sold it for money or not. Money is just a number and it doesn't mean anything.

"Okay, okay, up to you!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"My lord, my lord, your majesty and empress are here!"

The guard ran to report panting.

"The emperor is here? The nose is still sharp enough, and you can smell the fragrance dozens of miles away!" Su Cheng couldn't help muttering.

Princess Changle couldn't help giving Su Cheng a charming look when she heard the words, and said coquettishly: "Mr. Lang, let's go pick him up!"

In fact, there was no need for Su Cheng and Princess Changle to pick him up, because Li Shimin and Empress Changsun had already walked in.

Who dares to stop the majestic emperor rushing in with the cheek?

"I didn't know that Your Majesty and the Empress were coming, but I couldn't go far to welcome you, please forgive me!" Su Cheng bowed his hands in salute.

Wu Jue, Cui Mo and others next to him were all blessed to see the ceremony.

Only Princess Changle did not see the ceremony, she had already stepped forward to hold the hand of Empress Changsun and acted coquettishly: "Mother, why are you here?"

"I heard that there are wonderful sights here, let's take a look with your father." Empress Changsun laughed.

"Don't be too polite, let's all be free!" Li Shimin was very casual and didn't look at Su Cheng at all. His eyes were already attracted by the cars in the yard.

"Is this the 42 carriages?" Li Shimin sighed, and as soon as he entered the yard, he asked about the strong smell of spices.

The news is really well-informed, even the number of carriages is exactly the same, Su Cheng said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin suddenly gasped and said, "No, there are only forty cars, why are there two cars missing?"

Su Cheng was speechless, Li Shimin, are you too serious?You even counted it again, this is not your house, why are you so serious?

And counting them with great interest, crazy you!

Su Cheng explained: "Duke Wei and his wife came to pick up the bearded man just now, and took two carriages with them along the way."

"Oh, two carts were taken away by the pharmacist!" Li Shimin nodded, after all, the bearded man had made a lot of effort in this trip, so it was right to take the two carts to Duke Wei's mansion.

"Why is it still covered with a tarpaulin, lift it up and have a look!" Li Shimin ordered.

Su Cheng nodded slightly, and the surrounding guards rushed up and began to lift the tarpaulin.

The tarpaulin on a carriage was lifted, and a stronger smell of spices permeated, and a carriage full of spices appeared in front of everyone.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up first, and then he pointed to the carriage and said sadly: "The prodigal stuff, what a waste of money, the spices are so precious, why did you put them in rag bags and transport them roughly back to Chang'an?"

"You don't cherish it too much! How can you do this?"
