The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1496 Shengtang Group Seafood Self-operated
At the same time, in Daming Palace, Li Shimin received a phone call.

He picked up the phone, quite surprised, generally speaking, no one dared to call his phone number, only he went to contact others, but no one contacted him.

But today someone called.

So he picked it up.

"Which one?"

Li Shimin's tone was stiff.

It's very frustrating to hear!

But the other party still said:
"You have a courier delivered to Suzaku Gate, when will you pick it up?"

Li Shimin wondered, express delivery?
How can I have express delivery?
Where did the courier come from!
"Whose name is written on it?"

Li Shimin asked, he had sent something and knew the addressee! "Sir, these ladies."

Ms. Guan?
Li Shimin didn't think of who it was for a moment!
At the same time, Empress Changsun passed by.

"I come!"

she said softly.

Li Shimin immediately understood that Ms. Guan was the maidservant of Guanyin, the name of Empress Changsun, and then he gave her the phone number.

she says:

"Express delivery, right? Wait a moment, I'll send someone to fetch it!"

"Good lady!"

Then the phone hung up.

Li Shimin curiously wanted to ask what it was.

Empress Changsun greeted an eunuch.

"You go to pick up a courier outside Suzaku's gate and come back, you know? Ask the two of you to go together!"

"As ordered!"

Wait until the eunuch goes out.

Empress Changsun turned her head.

She offered to say:

"Your Majesty must be very curious about what that is, right?"

"Yes, how could something be sent to the palace? What is it?"

"This is Lizhi's kindness. She said that peaches have been produced recently, and she specially sent some to His Majesty. She wants His Majesty to taste the peaches from Qingzhou."

"But Mengyin Peach?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin asked directly.

Mengyin peach is very famous. As a treasure of mountain fruit, it has been abundant in Mongolian since ancient times.As early as the Dawenkou culture period, the ancestors of Mengyin began to plant peaches.In the Mengshan Kingdom in the Xia Dynasty and the Zhuanyu Kingdom in the Zhou Dynasty, they both set up imperial peach gardens at the northern foot of Mengshan Mountain, and they were responsible for taking care of them.The peaches produced are known in history as "as big as a bowl, as red as charcoal, and with a tangy aroma".

Generally speaking, even if Li Shimin eats it, there won't be too much of it, and it was not easy to transport this stuff before.

It takes a lot of effort to transport some Mengyin peaches into the palace.

But now because of express delivery, as long as you can afford the shipping fee, no matter how much it is, it will be sent to you.

The overall cost is also very low.

"It's Mengyin Peach! How did Your Majesty know?" Empress Changsun asked again.

"Now is the day when peaches are produced in large quantities! In the past, people would send them to the palace at this time! It's a rare tribute!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"I have to taste it. This peach must be fresh!"

After waiting for about ten minutes, two eunuchs came in from outside.

The two of them carried a big sack.

It looks very strenuous!

As soon as they came in, they were carefully placed on the ground.

"open to take a look!"

Li Shimin said.

"Yes!"

The two eunuchs opened the sack, revealing peaches as big as bowls.

This peach is really huge!Li Shimin has eaten it before and likes it very much, because it is delicious!

"Take one out and let me see! Let me see!"

Li Shimin said.

The eunuch took out the peach and sent it to Li Shimin.

"Please, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin inspected the big peach, it was still very fresh, as if it had just been picked.

This was impossible to achieve before, but now it actually appears in front of me!

"Come on, wash it and cut it into pieces!"

Li Shimin really knows how to eat.

"Yes!"

The eunuch went to work.

When they went to harvest the peaches, Li Shimin sighed: "It used to be a waste of time and money to eat fruit from afar, but now, as long as you want to eat something, it is so convenient to have someone deliver it directly."

"Yeah, this express delivery really gave us a lot of convenience. Shengtang Nine Sets did a very good job this time!"

Empress Changsun said.

"By the way, I heard that kid is going to build a railway from Kuizhou to Chang'an, how is it going now?" Li Shimin asked again!

He usually cares about this very much!It's also because it's good for you!
"It is already being explored, and it is estimated that it will be built again soon."

Queen Changsun said.

"The future really extends in all directions."

Li Shimin sighed.

Then he said: "Is there anything else that can be sent to Qingzhou, let people send more things there, and, what Lizhi wants, you can arrange it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it."

"By the way, you can take these peaches and share them with the concubines in a while. Let each of you share one and let them try it too!"

"Yes!"

After the Empress Changsun finished speaking, she said: "By the way, Your Majesty, you can buy seafood from Qingzhou in the Chang'an market now. Do you want to eat it? If you want, I will ask someone to buy some and cook it."

"Is there seafood in Chang'an Market? How did they get here? Did it come by express delivery? If so, it doesn't seem cheap."

"It's run by Min'er himself. He opened a huge seafood market next to the Shengtang Group. There are all kinds of fish and seafood in it. The things are cheap and fresh."

"Self-operating? What does that mean?"

"I heard from them that it is called self-management, and the income and loss are all counted by themselves. But from the perspective of concubines, it may be true to balance the income and expenditure. However, this market has also created a lot of jobs. They recruited in Chang'an City Many people entered the market to work. For Qingzhou, he also increased the income of Qingzhou people by doing so.”

Empress Changsun said so.

"Oh, that's interesting, what about taxes?"

"There won't be a single penny missing. I thought that he was playing some big chess game again."

Empress Changsun said so.

Generally speaking, Li Yin has thought about what he does, and she must have thought about it this time, so she guessed like this.

"did you know?"

"I don't know, but I believe he must be like this."

"Forget it, we'll know when the time comes!"

While the two were chatting, the eunuch had already delivered peaches to them.

This peach looks absolutely delicious.

Li Shimin was also polite, picked up a piece and ate it.

"Well, these peaches are much tastier than the ones that were tributed in previous years!"

"Yes, that's true. In previous years, the tributes were small and few!"

While the two were eating, Dai Zhou walked in.

One came in and one went out.

Because he saw that the two were eating, he didn't dare to disturb them.

Li Shimin stopped him.

"Dai Zhou, come, you have a taste too!"

How dare Dai Zhou?
He just said: "Your Majesty, there is something to do! Sheng Tang Group has something to do!"

Li Shimin put down the peach on the phone.

"what's up?"
