Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 12 Emperor and Prime Minister Tour Wuling County Together

The traffic is busy and the flow is endless.

South Street is as lively as a big city.

But there are many things that can't be seen in big cities.

Li Shimin and the two were like children, looking at everything in front of them with novelty.

“Iced watermelon juice, delicious and cheap!”

"Popcorn, delicious popcorn!"

"Fruit platter, fresh fruit platter!"

Street shops, stalls at the door, and sales staff enthusiastically promote the products.

Whenever he comes to South Street, Fang Yuan feels like he is in a modern city, enjoying the convenience of modern city life.

This was built by Fang Yuan in five years, it is the busiest place in Wuling County, it supports most of Wuling County's economy.

"Iced watermelon juice?"

"Boss, how did you get your ice?"

Li Shimin's expression changed, he stepped forward a few steps quickly, and asked.

On Mayday, the royal family had used up all the ice cubes they stored last winter, but ordinary vendors in Wuling County had it?
If a single store has ice cubes, it can be considered as a specialization, but there are several shops selling iced watermelons on site, which shows that ice cubes are common in Wuling County.

"Oh, I bought it from the Mohist Research Institute."

"Boss, would you like an iced watermelon juice? It's delicious and cheap."

The shop owner replied friendly and recommended his own products by the way.

"What is the Mohist Research Institute?"

Li Shimin was puzzled and asked.

His first reaction was the Mohist from the Hundred Schools of Philosophy.

But the branches of Mohism only have the ink of Xiangli family, the ink of Xiangfu family, and the ink of Dengling family. When will there be a research institute of Mohism?

"The Mohist Research Institute is the Mohist Research Institute, does the boss want watermelon juice?"

The store owner was a little impatient.

He is not the only guest of Li Shimin.

When talking to Li Shimin, he had sold two watermelon juices.

"Then let's have three."

Li Shimin sighed.

Fang Yuan and Du Ruhui have already walked to the side.

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Du Ruhui asked how much it was.

"A piece of eight coins."

The boss said with a smile.

Three copies were quickly made for Du Ruhui.

But when he saw Fang Yuan was there, he immediately withdrew the hand that wanted to collect the money.

"You are here too. Are these all your friends? Then I won't charge any money."

The boss smiled even more.

The words did not sound flattering, but came from the heart.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui both looked at Fang Yuan, their eyes full of surprise.

An official who can make the people not accept money from the bottom of their hearts is terrible.

"No, they are not short of money."

Fang Yuan shook his head, said calmly.

Take one of them and turn around to leave.

"Xianzun, go slowly, come again next time."

The boss excitedly waved to Fang Yuan, watching Fang Yuan leave.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui looked at each other, gave the money and followed Fang Yuan.

The three of them walked for a while, which was full of various snacks.

No matter what era it is, men don't like snacks very much, and they never buy other snacks on the road.

"Butler Du, the mattress is in the front, should we look at the mattress first?"

Fang Yuan pointed to a shop not far away.

South Street is a hodgepodge, not just selling food.

Everyday necessities and so on, all kinds of things are available.

The division is very detailed, after the snack area is the daily necessities area.

"Okay, let's look at the mattress first."

Du Ruhui's eyes lit up, and he quickened his pace.

There were far fewer people in the daily necessities section, Fang Yuan was recognized by the store owner as soon as he walked to the store entrance.

"County Honor?!"

"How did you come here, magistrate?"

"Xianzun, if you want a mattress, you don't need to come here in person. I will choose the best one and send it to you."

The store owner is enthusiastic.

Three steps and two steps approached Fang Yuan, smiling like a flower.

A man in his 40s, his face already has a lot of wrinkles, Fang Yuan's goosebumps are soaring when he smiles.

"They are the guests."

"The original price is whatever it is, and there is no need to specially discount it."

Fang Yuan walked away, pointed at Du Ruhui and Li Shimin and said.

"How about that?"

"Friends of Lord Xianzun must have a discount!"

The store owner smiled even more.

Warmly greet Li Shimin and Du Ruhui.

There is also a helper in the shop, the shop owner immediately asked him to pour tea to greet Fang Yuan.

"Bosses, please take a look, these are mattresses from our store."

"You can lie down and sleep as much as you like, until you are satisfied."

The store owner pointed to the mattresses in the room and said.

Although it is said that the whole house is full of mattresses, the house is not big, and there are only seven or eight mattresses lying flat, and most of them are placed upside down on both sides.

"it is good."

Du Ruhui and Li Shimin followed the store owner to visit the mattress.

But the two of them didn't like lying on the bed in public, so they just sat around.

After sitting on several mattresses, Du Ruhui quickly had an idea in his mind, knowing which one he wanted.

"This one, here are five, can I get it in ten days?"

Du Ruhui pointed to one of the mattresses and said.

Li Shimin didn't buy it. His dragon bed is very big, and there is no suitable size for the dragon bed here.

"Yes, of course it is possible."

"This mattress costs 1232 Wen. You are a friend of the county official, so I'll just charge you what you always have."

The store owner's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile.

I sold five beds at once and made a lot of money.

"That's so embarrassing, I'll give you Liuguan."

Du Ruhui shook his head and said.

He is not short of money, there is no need to owe Fang Yuan favors.

However, the things on South Street are really expensive, which is probably related to the local development.

"Thank you boss, thank you boss."

The store owner is naturally happy.

After receiving the money, he issued a receipt to Du Ruhui.

When it's time to pick it up, bring the receipt and you can take the mattress away.

"By the way, boss, what does the inside of your mattress look like?"

Du Ruhui accepted the receipt and asked curiously.

Although Fang Yuan said he put a spring in, he was still curious about how to put it in and what it looked like.

Du Ruhui was very curious about the bed that allowed him to sleep soundly, and wanted to know its structure.

"I don't know about this. I'm only responsible for selling, not manufacturing."

"If the boss wants to know more, he can ask the people from the Mohist Research Institute, they invented the mattress."

The shop owner thought politely.

After accepting the six copper coins, Du Ruhui is now his grandfather.

"Is it the Mohist Academy again?"

"Does the boss know what the Mohist Academy does?"

Du Ruhui frowned and said in a deep voice.

The same is true for Li Shimin, who became more and more curious about the Mohist Academy.

"I don't know for sure, I just know it was invented."

"Ice cubes, mattresses, concrete roads, toilets, etc. were all invented by the Mohist Research Institute."

"Oh, by the way, you guys ask the county lord, the county lord knows best, the Mohist Research Institute was established by the county lord."

The store owner shook his head, embarrassed to say.

Immediately seeing Fang Yuan sitting on the other side drinking tea, his eyes lit up immediately.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui looked at each other, they turned their heads to look at Fang Yuan who was drinking tea.

At this moment, the two people's cognition of Fang Yuan deepened in their hearts, and at the same time they were full of curiosity about the Mohist Research Institute.

Fang Yuan seemed to feel that someone was looking at him, looked in the direction of feeling, and saw Li Shimin and Du Ruhui looking over.

"Ready?"

Li Shimin nodded at the right time.

He and Du Ruhui walked towards Fang Yuan one after another.

"Let's go then."

Fang Yuan put the teacup back on its back, got up and said.

"Let's go slowly, the county lord, and the two distinguished guests, welcome to come next time."

The shop owner sent the three of them to the door, waved and bowed to Fang Yuan and the others.

"Fang Xianzun, I heard that ice cubes, mattresses, cement roads, and toilets were all invented by the Mohist Research Institute."

"After visiting South Street, I wonder if you can take us to visit the Mohist Research Institute?"

Li Shimin asked.

Du Ruhui on the side also watched.

Both of them wanted to see the Mohist Research Institute.

It's the kind of institution they want so badly.
