Great Tang princess

Chapter 450 Finalize Cooperation
In this era, the development of many things is still a bit slow.

For example, the stir-fried dishes, the restaurants in Dongdu have been open for several years, but it has not been spread in Qingdao yet.

The biggest reason is that there are almost no cooks here who have mastered the cooking method, and the second is that iron is not popular.

Iron in this era is still relatively precious, and most of the time it is used to make weapons. Iron pots are not affordable for ordinary people at home.

Therefore, many people still use ceramics to cook in their homes, and the main cooking method is steaming.

Lu Zhenghao had never been to the Eastern Capital, so he didn't know that stir-fried dishes had already appeared, but sitting on the round table, looking at the various dishes in front of him, he was like a country bumpkin entering the city, and even became a little reserved Woke up.

Jiang Zhengan, who was already used to it, took advantage of the situation and told him what these dishes were, how they tasted, and so on.

Li Yuechen, who was sitting opposite, smiled and said, "I seldom drink alcohol in the barracks, so I won't drink here, and I'll bring a few jars back when the time comes!"

Firstly, she doesn't like drinking at all, and secondly, this also shows a problem, the current Lu Zhenghao is not worthy of letting her drink.

Naturally, Lu Zhenghao didn't dare to have the slightest opinion on this. Could it be that he dared to slap the table and say, "If you don't drink, you won't give me face"?I'm afraid I don't know how he died.

The meal was quite casual, but Lu Zhenghao was always amazed at the taste of the stir-fry.

At the same time, he also discovered that there is no difference between those soldiers and what they eat!It's nothing more than the number of dishes here.

It can also be seen from this that these soldiers are indeed different from other places, and they are treated better than the guards of the big family.

……

After eating, Li Yuechen asked them to take them to take a lunch break, and he went back to the office to write letters to his mother and Shangguan Wan'er.

We still need to tell them about the things here, so as to prevent some unintentional operations that cheat teammates suddenly.

Now the family courtyard has built several houses. Although they are still rough houses, it is no problem to put two beds in them for a lunch break.

It's just that Lu Zhenghao and Jiang Zheng'an may not be able to sleep, because there are too many strange places in this house, constantly seducing their curiosity.

When the family area here was first planned, Li Yuechen asked the engineering institute to try to make floor tiles, which are not difficult to make in this era.

And a fireplace is also planned in the room to ensure heating in winter.

The most important thing is that the sewer pipes have been added, and toilets can be planned and installed indoors.

Of course it's not the kind of flush toilet, she can't make that thing, but a very simple squatting toilet, and then use the hand to catch the water to flush.

At the same time, a large water tank was installed on the roof. If a simple faucet can be developed after a while, it can be put into use.

At that time, people who live here will be able to use tap water as long as they regularly add water to the water tank above.

The sewer pipes have also been fixed. It can be said that, except for the lack of electricity, the various living facilities in this villa area are far beyond this era.

The two of them researched for a long time but didn't figure out anything, so they finally lay down in bed and took a rest in the morning. After all, they were old, and if they didn't sleep for a while at noon, they tended to lose energy in the afternoon.

After sleeping for half an hour, the two hurriedly got up to wash up a little, and saw Li Yuechen again.

When he came to the office, Li Yuechen asked someone to open a few canned fruits for them.

This surprised Lu Zhenghao. You must know that it is only May, and most of the fruits are not yet ripe. The fruits brought out at this time must be at least from last year.

It seems that this candied fruit pulp is the way to preserve fruit for a long time?
"Try it!" Li Yuechen raised his hand, "The weather is getting hotter day by day, eat something cold to relieve the heat!"

This canned food is chilled, and it is cold in the mouth after one bite. In this hot afternoon, I feel refreshed instantly.

After tasting it, both of them were extremely surprised, and Lu Zhenghao couldn't help but praise: "Your Highness, this method is really quite miraculous!"

"This thing is called canned food. In the final analysis, it is a way to preserve the fruit for a long time. What I mean by this palace is that I can tell you the recipe. You can make it and sell it to nearby states..."

Li Yuechen expressed his own thoughts: "This formula is not sold to you, so it cannot be disclosed. The production cooperation method, half of each bottle..."

The way of cooperation is very simple, don't ask him for the patent fee, but Li Yuechen will get 5.00% for every bottle of canned food sold in the future.

Assuming that a bottle of canned food costs [-] Wen, then Li Yuechen would have to pay [-] Wen.

After Lu Zhenghao heard it, he nodded to express that he had no objection.

After all, this technology is ready-made by the princess, and they also have their own production factory, so it is actually dispensable for the princess.

If you are willing to play with it, this is already a great gift!Lu Zhenghao could still see this clearly.

There is no need to worry about not being able to sell, as canned food is still a luxury item these days.And luxury goods do not consider cost-effectiveness, and do not rely on quantity. They are products that are sold exclusively to wealthy people.

After all, the problem of salt is only solved now, but the price of sugar is still high, and it is still not affordable for ordinary people.

But speaking of this, Li Yuechen suddenly thought that now that the grain output has increased, it might be possible to plant a large number of sugar cane in the future to lower the price of sugar.

Sugarcane is not uncommon in this era. It is basically found in the Lianghu area, Jiangnan Bashu, and near the Pearl River Basin, but the number of plantations is small and the yield is relatively low.

Right now, the common people can only afford maltose, and it's not something they can eat every day. This stuff is mainly used to worship the Stove Lord, and the sweetness is not very high.

The other is honey, the price is relatively high, generally only the princes and nobles and rich people can afford it.

As for sucrose, the price is not much lower than honey.

After thinking about it, Li Yuechen felt that it was indeed feasible to plant a large amount of sugarcane, especially in Hainan and Guangdong and Guangxi. With the increase in food production, some farmers switched to planting sugarcane, which could also guarantee good economic returns.

Seeing that Li Yuechen suddenly fell into deep thought, the two of them didn't dare to interrupt, they could only lower their heads and quickly pick at the can in front of them.

Not to mention, being able to eat a can of iced fruit at this time is definitely a treat.

When Li Yuechen came back to his senses, the two of them had almost eaten.

"Okay, that's the way it is, if you want to..."

"Yes, yes!" Lu Zhenghao quickly nodded and agreed without mentioning any conditions.

Just kidding, it's a good thing that the princess can play with her, how dare he raise conditions.

Li Yuechen nodded: "Well, let's finalize the matter in the next few days. Considering the issue of confidentiality, the production factory will be built here..."

Canned food has great benefits, and he is afraid that someone will attack the workers, so Li Yuechen asked him to put the factory here, next to the military camp.

If someone dares to come to the army to make trouble, then don't blame her for being merciless!

At that time, the hired staff can also settle here, and once the nearby fishing villages are integrated, they will become a new city in the future.

The two of them just finalized the matter of cooperation without signing any contract or contract. After all, the difference in status is here, and it is useless to sign.

……

In the next few days, the two sides finalized the specific matters of cooperation.

First of all, the factory was built next to the army, and Lu Zhenghao had to find a way to recruit people himself, but he had to follow Li Yuechen's requirements in terms of remuneration.

Working four hours a day, the salary level must be able to guarantee daily life.

At that time, the canned food produced can be sold near Qingzhou and Youzhou, and even if the production is sufficient, it can also be sold to Taiyuan.

How big the business can be depends on Lu Zhenghao's own ability. Anyway, the more he sells, the more Li Yuechen earns.

When he came here this time, Lu Zhenghao made a fortune and successfully hugged the princess' thigh.

And Li Yuechen also intends to take this opportunity to observe whether this person is worthy of support.

In the future struggle between the imperial court and the aristocratic family, one party will definitely fall. Li Yuechen is confident that the imperial court will not fall, so he should consider supporting candidates.

She didn't want to embezzle the other party's assets, but the premise is that you have to pay taxes according to the regulations, and you can't make trouble.

Li Yuechen absolutely does not allow it to develop into a system where money can influence the imperial court in the future. This is the bottom line that cannot be crossed!
After discussing the matter, it was about time for Jiang Zhengan to go back.

When leaving, Li Yuechen first packed a few trucks of refined salt for him to take back to ensure that the official salt would not be out of stock, and at the same time wrote a letter asking him to bring it to Lai Junchen.

The main reason is to let Lai Junchen cooperate with his work, investigate at any time, and prevent someone from being a traitor.

On the three-acre land in Qingzhou, Lai Junchen has almost gained a foothold now, and there are not many things that can be hidden from him.

As for Laizhou and Dengzhou, she also asked Lai Junchen to send someone to set up a stronghold, and completely stared at them before the salt industry was officially launched.

As long as the salt field in Hainan is opened, whoever wants to dump it can dump it. I don't believe that you can sell it cheaper than the imperial court.

During this period of time, Liu Zihe's notes have filled two scrolls. When they are compiled into a volume in the future, they will be printed and put in the library at a suitable time in the future.

At present, everything is going according to plan, except for Lu Zhenghao, who is actually a surprise, giving Li Yuechen the opportunity to drive a nail in the gentry.

Although his loyalty may not be enough to do something wrong to the clan for the sake of the princess now, it will always come in handy in the future.

As the saying goes, when a catastrophe is imminent, the relationship between people, although there are times when it is indestructible.But in more cases, they are often as fragile as a piece of paper.

These are all Li Yuechen learned from history after coming to this era.

Originally, she was just an extreme athlete, her historical knowledge was in a mess, and she came to this era without any advantage of foresight.

So after I came here, I learned a lot of history, and I was afraid that after this era ended, I would go back to an earlier point in time.
