Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 583 Yangzhou Spinach is Expensive (Fifth Watch)

"Report, the Governor of Yancheng is in a hurry at eight hundred miles."

Li Shentong immediately went up to greet him, but Liu Mu didn't care to listen to this, he only had Dugu Lanruo in his mind at this time, why the boat hasn't arrived yet.

Li Shentong took the urgent document with a serious expression, but there was no feather lottery from the military newspaper, only the civilian newspaper.

Minbao can be used for eight hundred miles.

While thinking wildly, Li Shentong quickly opened the documents. After a look, Li Shentong shouted: "Overjoyed, overjoyed, I have ordered 1000 of my personal guards to go to Yancheng to make big sedan chairs in Yancheng."

Liu Mu would still stare at the river worriedly.

"Great joy, great joy." Li Shentong rushed to Liu Mu and handed the document to Liu Mu.

Li Shentong slapped his forehead fiercely: "Come here, go back to the mansion and tell the princess to prepare a quiet courtyard and tonics. Send someone to Chang'an immediately to announce the good news."

Liu Mu was completely dumbfounded, giggling a few times for a while, and flipping through the document again for a while.

Li Shentong patted the willow tree hard on the back: "This is silly for being happy, let's go, old uncle will accompany you to get drunk. The boat on the sea is swaying faintly, so go to the nearest shore and go on land. We are not in a hurry, every day Walk fifty miles steadily, and return here in five days."

Willow just smirked.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Mu realized the benefits of being a top nobleman.

There is no need to work hard by yourself. There are professional people to form a team to make all the preparations. In the quiet courtyard dedicated to Dugu Lanruo, there are dedicated people to worry about whether there are any flowers or not.

Even the arrangement of the furniture in the house was instructed by someone from the Taoist sect, and they were especially particular about it.

In the middle of the night, Baoqin brought the half-drunk Liumu back from Li Shentong. Although Baoqin was small, he carried Liumu with strides like flying.

Xiao Ling'er heard that Liu Mu came back, and she was a little drunk, so she was going to take care of her.

The high-pitched cries of holding the piano in the study made Xiao Ling'er blush and retreat, and quietly went back to her small courtyard.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Mu dressed up and got up energetically. He sat at the desk and began to write a shopping list. He needed some medicinal materials and ingredients.Liu Mu and Sun Simiao discussed that food tonic is an art, and it is better to use less medicine.

Holding the piano, his whole body was sore and limp, and he clung to the bed and didn't want to move.

"Lang Jun was like a wild beast last night." Seeing Liu Mu's energetic appearance, Baoqin couldn't help complaining.

"Baoqin, I have always restrained myself. Because I was still young when I got married, I don't want to be immature before I reach adulthood." Liu Mu said while writing.

It's true that Baoqin recalled these years, Liu Mu really restrained himself very much.

Even the witch Kinderman did not let Liu Mu stay with her for two consecutive nights, and Liu Mu still insisted on practicing the Wuqinxi all the time.

"I want a child too." Baoqin said suddenly.

"Wait another half a year." Liu Mu smiled and hugged the piano and kissed lightly on the face: "You rest, I will order someone to buy some ingredients and medicinal materials."

Baoqin pouted, wanted to say something but didn't speak.

Liu Mu leaned close to Baoqin's ear: "Don't worry, they will have to wait for at least three to five years."

"En." Baoqin believed.

Because Liu Mu has never lied to Bao Qin, Bao Qin absolutely believes in Liu Mu's words.

From Yangzhou to several state capitals north of Hangzhou, in just four days, a sudden mutation appeared in the market.This sudden change was reported to Li Shentong, the general manager of Jiangnan.

"Well, the price of walnut kernels has increased by six times, and there is no stock on the market. Cold melon seeds have increased by [-] times? Pollen vegetables have increased by [-] times? Even pork liver, which no one cares about, has been sold out at the butcher. " Li Shentong couldn't believe that such a thing would happen, it was too outrageous.

Pollen itself is an extremely expensive vegetable. The Persians introduced it to the Tang Dynasty, but it was not widely planted.

Basically only nobles are buying.

This is a hundredfold increase, this is no ordinary market price chaos, something must have happened.

"Boss, I'm afraid I'll have to ask Concubine Liu about this matter. A few days ago, Concubine Liu began to send people to purchase a lot of food and medicinal materials in the market, and also sent people to the Liaodong Transit Department to prepare a large amount of food for him. Waiting for the pine nuts to come, and asked Xigang Bosi to prepare something called aloe for him."

"What's the matter?" Li Shentong didn't expect to have a connection with Liu Mu.

Chang Shi said again: "You remember that on the day Consort Liu welcomed the princess, the axle broke and seemed to have lost several books. The people around Concubine Liu have been searching for them in secret these days. There is a fragment of a manuscript here, you see. look."

After Li Shentong read it in detail, he was very puzzled: "According to this, could it be that Concubine Liu spent several years nurturing the princess's body and his own body in order to give birth to a son at the first birth, and it was more unusual children are stronger and smarter."

"The lower official also thinks so. And when the princess went to sea, she brought a female doctor from the palace with her. This female doctor was very famous in the former Sui Palace. The medical skills of this female doctor are limited to women's childbearing. "

"Be prepared." After Li Shentong said this, he ordered Chang Shi: "In the name of the Jiangnan Dongdao General Manager's Office, send an official document to each state government, telling them that they only need to strictly investigate and prohibit price gouging. .”

"Very good."

Liu Mu is in the mood to care about the price at this time, and Baoqin is in charge of that plan.

Finally, Liumu met Dugu Lanruo on the official road in the north of Yangzhou City.

"Uncle Zhun'an specially prepared a garden for you, Madam, to rest in peace."

"Retreat?" Dugu Lanruo pointed to herself: "It's not all that bad, it seems to make you nervous."

Liu Muxin said, it was the first time in two lifetimes, and it wasn't really nervous.

But Liu Mu didn't explain any more, and rode along beside the big sedan chair to accompany Dugu Lanruo.Chatting about some light topics, after seeing Dugu Lanruo, the urgency in Liu Mu's heart disappeared immediately, and his tone became much lighter.

The Zhuangzi arranged by Li Shentong was in Hangzhou, so when he arrived in Yangzhou, he would naturally live in Xiao's manor first.

It will take some time to repair the garden in Hangzhou.

Li Shentong also found an old shipyard in the former Sui Dynasty. It was originally prepared for Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. The semi-finished official ship used by the officials sent excellent boatmen to perfect it. If Dugu Lanruo planned to return to Chang'an, this official ship Pretty smooth.

At night, Liu Mu and Dugu Lanruo chatted all the time.

After Baoqin came in, she whispered a few words in Dugu Lanruo's ear, and Dugu Lanruo smiled and pointed at Liumu: "My husband forgot to make an agreement with someone."

"What agreement?" Liu Mu really forgot.

Dugu Lanruo hid her face and smiled, and ordered: "Come here, send your husband to Zuoyuan." After the order, Dugu Lanruo said: "Hurry up, don't let people say that I am the first woman to break the rules of the backyard. "

　The agreed fifth watch is absolutely unambiguous.
