The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 389 Never seen such a brazen person! (For the leader? Yu Yujiageng)
On the surface, this episode did not affect everyone's mood. When Li Er came to the oil plant area, at least his face had recovered.

I've already lost all my face, so it's useless to say anything at this time, and I'll fix these bastards after I go back.

"Is this the soybean oil extracted from soybeans?"

Li Er looked at the light yellow oil in the glass bottle, and then looked at the wooden price sign next to it, "It's so cheap?"

Compared with the price of meat oil and sesame oil at this time, the soybean oil and rapeseed oil sold by Li Yunze are quite cheap, so cheap that ordinary people can buy a bottle to take home.

"Things with a large supply are naturally cheaper."

Li Yunze came over and explained, "Soybean and rapeseed have a very high oil yield. Under five rounds of continuous pressing with twelve heavy sticks, the oil yield can be close to [-]%."

After finishing speaking, he signaled to the many nobles who came over, "I rented your fields this year and produced a large amount of soybeans. After processing, the supply of oil is sufficient. It is nonsense to supply the whole world. It is also difficult to supply the whole customs, but it can meet the needs of Chang'an City. It's still fine."

Hearing this, Li Er immediately turned around and looked at Li Yunze with a very serious expression, "How about I rent all the fields in the Guanzhong to you?"

Before Li Yunze could speak, Wei Zheng stood out from the crowd, "No way!"

"Although oil is good, it can't compare to food anyway." Wei Zheng said sincerely, "If all the fields in Guanzhong are used to grow oil, where will the people's rations come from? Oil can't be eaten as food!"

What he said was very reasonable, and the nobles around him nodded repeatedly when they heard the words.

It's just that they have already made up their minds, and they must find a way to get seeds from Li Yunze to grow soybeans and that kind of rapeseed when they plow next year.

After all, how can the price of grain be compared with that of oil? Selling oil can make a lot more money than selling grain.

As for renting land, the rent that Li Yunze received this year seems to be a lot, but compared to what he earns from selling things, it is not worth mentioning.

In fact, without Li Er's suppression, the red-eyed nobles would have surrounded Li's house and snatched all the good things in it.

After all, the Guanlong military aristocratic group is the main group, and their nature will not change.

In the era of Li Er and Li Zhi, they could only be suppressed, and the Guanlong nobles had to wait until Emperor Zetian slaughtered them with a knife.

Thinking of this, a question popped up in Li Yunze's mind, "How old is Wu Meiniang now?"

The matter of handing over all the land in Guanzhong to Li Yunze for planting was temporarily suspended because of Wei Zheng's objection.

But this matter still fell on Li Er's heart.

Not only because Li Yunze produced many new crops, but most importantly, the yield of the crops produced in Li Yunze's fields is simply astounding.

It is unbelievable that so many crops can be produced in the fields.

After walking through the oil plant area, the next is the living product area.

The most conspicuous thing here are all kinds of iron pots on the counter.

Originally, iron pots only appeared in the Song Dynasty, and because of the appearance of iron pots, China's food culture developed on a large scale.

In the world of Zhenguan, iron pots appeared long ago. Li Yunze had presented a large number of iron pots to the Tang army before, and the nobles here naturally knew about them and bought them all.

Not to mention that Li Yunze also used this thing in the restaurants in [-] Square.

"A few days ago, Turkic people visited Lijiazhuang." Li Yunze said with a smile, "They asked for a sheep for an iron pot, as much as they wanted."

Li Er knew about this, and Bai Qisi had reported it to him, so he didn't say anything.

On the other hand, Wei Zheng asked nervously, "Did you sell the iron pot to the Turks?"

"How is it possible?" Li Yunze waved his hands disdainfully, "They can't afford it."

Wei Zheng'(ー`′ー)'

What do you mean you can't afford it? !

The Turkic people have more than a million cattle and sheep. Is it possible that you still have a million iron pots?

In addition to the main iron pot, the daily necessities area also has many other products.

Such as wooden furniture, cups and bottles such as glass products, tableware such as porcelain products, etc.

Everyone looked strange, the price of glass and porcelain here is too different from that in Dongshi Baibaozhai.

"I'm really not a swindler." Facing everyone's questioning eyes, Li Yunze explained seriously, "These are ordinary public goods, and the ones in Baibaozhai are all high-quality goods. You are all nobles and big shots. How can you use them?" What about mass goods that are the same as ordinary people?"

Li Er smiled without saying a word, stepped forward and picked up a snow-white towel to look through.

"Cotton products are very useful. The price is cheap and the supply is large." Li Yunze came over and explained, "There is no problem with the textile technology. The only problem is that the supply of raw material cotton is insufficient."

"cotton?"

"The Silk Road was brought from India, that is, from Tianzhu. It seems to be called kapok?" Li Yunze responded uncertainly, "It was brought over as an ornamental crop, but this kind of Tianzhu cotton fiber is thick and short and not easy to use. I The side is made of fine-staple cotton, which has wide adaptability, high output, long fibers and good quality."

I don't understand many words, but it doesn't prevent Li Er from understanding their usefulness and effect. "Before you gave the cotton coat to the army as a gift."

"That's right." Li Yunze nodded immediately, "It's a military uniform filled with cotton, which can effectively resist the invasion of wind and cold. This time, when we go to fight the Turks, wearing cotton clothes will definitely have a significant effect."

Li Er looked around, and sure enough, at the counter not far away, he saw all kinds of cotton clothes, and even bundles of cotton cloth.

I picked up the cotton cloth and earned it, it feels very thick.

He turned to "this cotton"

"Cotton is a light-loving plant, and it needs sufficient sunlight to increase its output." Li Yunze pointedly reminded, "In my opinion, the Western Regions are the most suitable for growing this thing. And if it can be made into a large-scale industry, it will be a big problem for the cotton industry." Both controlling and stabilizing the Western Regions have a very good effect."

"Western Region." Li Er narrowed his eyes, his eyes full of longing.

During the period of Emperor Yangdi of the Sui Dynasty, he personally visited Ganzhou and set up counties in Xihai, Heyuan, Shanshan and Qiemo. Central Plains map.

After that, there was chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The countries in the Western Regions rebelled and took refuge in the Western Turks, and the power of the Tang Dynasty stopped in Liangzhou.

One more thing, at that time it was Li Er who took the post of the head of Liangzhou again.

Before becoming the emperor, Li Er, who was outstanding in both Wen Tao and Wu Lue, really did too many part-time jobs.

As an emperor who wanted to make a difference, Li Er naturally would not let the Western Regions go. He also wanted to expand the territory like Emperor Wu of Han, and bring the Western Regions back to the embrace of the Central Plains.

"It's a good thing."

Among basic necessities of life, clothes are even ranked ahead of food. Li Er is very clear about how important it is to keep out the cold. "When I go to the Western Regions, I will promote this product locally."

When Li Er was young, he didn't like to brag very much when he didn't drink, especially before killing the Turks for revenge.

But now, in front of Li Yunze, he still expressed his ambition and aspirations.

The distant Western Regions must be brought back!

After clearing his mind, Li Er smiled and asked, "Why isn't your briquette sold here?"

"Your Majesty didn't see it when you were eating?" Li Yunze responded with a smile, "All the restaurants in the workshop sell briquettes for sale, and the people in the workshop can buy them directly from the restaurants."

Walking through the daily necessities area, the largest non-staple food area appears in front of you.

Looking at the past, rows of counters are full of all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and even spices, salt and wine.

Everyone looked at Wei Zheng in unison, because Datang is now banning alcohol.

Wei Zheng did not disappoint everyone, and immediately came out with a sullen face, "The imperial court ordered a ban on alcohol, but you are selling it openly here? So disregarding the imperial court's laws, where do you put the imperial court?"

"Duke Wei misunderstood."

Li Yunze explained with a smile, "The imperial court banned alcohol to reduce food consumption, and what should be banned should be food wine."

He reached out his hand to indicate the many glass bottles of wine in the wine cabinet, "The wine here is all fruit wine, and it doesn't use food to make wine from fruit, so it shouldn't be banned?"

Wei Zheng is a serious person, but he is not old and stubborn.

It is reasonable to use fruit to make wine without food.

It's just that he wasn't easy to be fooled. He stepped forward and criticized the glass bottles placed on a long row of counters and said, "This must be grain wine, right?"

"Wei Gong's words are wrong." Li Yunze, whose expression remained unchanged, explained with a smile, "This is not wine, but alcohol."

"Alcohol?"

Wei Zheng asked suspiciously, "What's the difference?"

"Food wine is for drinking, but alcohol is used for healing, and it belongs to the category of medicine." Li Yunze with a serious face signaled Fang Xuanling, "The house minister knows about this, and I donated a lot of alcohol to the army for use. cure sores."

Fang Xuanling, who greeted secretly in his heart, squeezed out a smile and nodded, "That's true. Owner Li said that alcohol can be used to disinfect and reduce the chance of sores attacking."

"Nonsense!" Wei Zhengqi's beard was trembling, and he pointed at the wooden sign that said 'alcohol' and scolded, "If it is for medicinal purposes, why is it placed here?"

Li Yunze, whose expression remained unchanged, nodded calmly, "It was misplaced."

Wei Zheng'(￣_，￣)'

Can you treat me like a sand sculpture? !
Over there, Cheng Yaojin had already opened the bottle cap, took a deep breath of alcohol, and said with a satisfied face, "Good thing, I have a lot of wounds from fighting all the year round, and I just need this thing to heal my wounds. First come twenty altar!"

Smelling the fragrant smell of wine, all the nobles rushed over like wolves and tigers, shouting that they had injuries on their bodies and needed this kind of elixir to heal them.

Wei Zheng was trembling with anger, he had never seen such a brazen person!
Li Er was noncommittal about this.

He knew that in Li Yunze's field, no matter what was planted, there was a super high yield, and it would not be a big deal to use it for wine making if the yield was enough.

After all, even if there is a ban on alcohol, these nobles will continue to eat and drink secretly.

He is interested in this variety of alcoholic beverages.

"What kind of wine is this?"

"It's cider made from apples."

"what about this?"

"Of course grapes are made of wine."

"What is this?"

"It's rum made from sugar. It can also be called rum."

Hearing this, Li Er paused and turned to look over, "Candy?"
