Datang first village

When Li Yuanxing took it, Cui Yingying had already hinted at Du Ruhui's share.

Du Ruhui's body is not suitable for eating sweets casually. The ingredients he chose for this recipe were researched by Taoist priests. Du Ruhui can eat, and it is also sweet that diabetics can eat.

Therefore, when Cui Yingying ordered the production, she was very careful in choosing materials.

"Du Gong, yours is definitely not as delicious as theirs. You are taking medicine, so bear with it!"

Li Yuanxing's opening was far more effective than Cui Yingying's opening, and Li Yuanxing also secretly praised Cui Yingying for being really thoughtful, and such small details could be noticed.

After putting down the freezing point, Cui Yingying went out. She and Cui Junsu were uncles and nephews, and they were relatives.

"Your Highness, this freezing point is really delicious. I think it should be made of milk powder from the desert." Cui Junsu said with a smile after tasting a sip, then glanced sideways at Du Ruhui, and smiled even more happily: "Mr. Du, it seems It's more delicious, I'm afraid my niece is partial."

"It's biased!" Li Yuanxing echoed from the side.

The three and a half old men are all in their 40s, and such a joke should only be taken as a laugh.

"Come on, take two more servings like Du Gong, and prepare herbal tea for Du Gong!"

Put aside whether Du Ruhui's food is delicious or not, but it is very beautiful.The four-color smoothie is made of watermelon, grape, melon, and plum juice mixed with smoothie.

When Yuanchun went down to prepare, Li Yuanxing pointed to the egg and said: "Let's talk about food first. My king encourages the whole people to raise chickens, so the price of eggs will definitely come down. Wrap them in lime, and the eggs will become preserved eggs. It is very delicious food, but it should not be eaten too much."

"It's always a good way to preserve food!" Du Ruhui agreed with Li Yuanxing's approach.

"Speaking of food, why is there no milk powder on the market?" Li Yuanxing suddenly thought of the report he had read a few days ago, which mentioned that the actual production of milk powder had exceeded [-] catties, but there was none on the market in Chang'an.

Cui Junsu shook his head, and Du Ruhui also shook his head.

Only Fang Xuanling said: "The Ministry of War has collected the treasury, saying that it is high-quality military rations. A sergeant prepares a box, and it is no problem to use it as food for three days when there is no food. Then take out the excess and sell it!"

"Is the Ministry of War rich?" Li Yuanxing asked.

"The old weapons were given to the Mohe people, and the Ministry of War poured some money. It is normal for the Ministry of War to store some war preparations. You have to understand this, Goro, Li Shangshu is not easy! The Ministry of War is a mess, and the real combat power of the Tang Dynasty is far greater than You Goro imagined it to be too low, even if it is replaced with refined weapons, but under the constraints of military resources and logistics, the Tang Dynasty is surrounded by enemies, Li Shangshu is not easy!" Fang Xuanling said a fair word.

Li Yuanxing smiled and did not answer immediately, but said to Lu Maofeng who was standing beside him: "See if Li Shangshu has come back, if he enters Zhuangzi, he will say exactly what he said."

"Yes!" Lu Maofeng gave a military salute. He had been by Li Yuanxing's side for a long time, so he naturally knew that Li Yuanxing hadn't finished speaking, so he stood still and did not leave.

Li Yuanxing said again: "Tell me what I said again. Money is spent and earned by bastards. Don't be like a miser who saves some broken things. If you want to really prepare military rations, this king has real high-quality military rations, which are far more expensive than That milk powder..."

Li Yuanxing stopped, and after thinking for a while, he changed his tone: "Actually, milk powder is also a good thing. But there are better ones, let's sell the milk powder!"

The three at the table are all top officials of the Tang Dynasty. Hearing what Li Yuanxing said, Du Ruhui said: "The things in Wulang's hand should be better than milk powder, but I'm afraid it can't completely replace milk powder, so Wulang Change your words. This is really the same as the rumors in Chang'an City, the King Qin of the Tang Dynasty never leaked falsehoods!"

Don't fake it?

Li Yuanxing himself was a little embarrassed, but fortunately he had a thick skin.

First he signaled Lu Maofeng to find Li Jing, and then he said to Yuan Chun: "Go to the warehouse, take a box of each of the eight kinds of sugar from my king's sugar storehouse, and remember not to let Princess Xiuyan find out."

Yuanchun went out, and Li Yuanxing explained: "Xiuyan is too greedy for sweets, and her teeth will be ruined if she eats like this. Too much sweets will do too much harm, so this king once thought of a very cruel trick, Just starve her for a day, and then let her eat sweets until she vomits, and if she thinks about it, she will hate sweets."

"Hahaha!" Cui Junsu laughed.

He had heard about this incident, but it ended in Li Yuanxing's failure.

I remember that when Cui Yingying was telling this story, the next day Zheng Xiuyan deliberately made trouble for Li Yuanxing, claiming to ask King Qin to punish her with sweets again, so that she would faint after eating this time.

Li Yuanxing was really helpless.

When Yuanchun went to get the sugar, Li Yuanxing put the cup in his hand aside, took out a notebook and put it on the table: "Before Brother Yao comes over, let's finish talking about the coin."

"Goro, just say it!" Fang Xuanling also took out a pen and paper to record.

Cui Junsu also motioned for himself a pen and paper.

"The common people will save King Qin's money, and they will think that such money has the meaning of preserving value. So how much Qin King's money must be made, so that it can be more than collected and circulated in the market normally?" Li Yuanxing raised this question.

Fang Du Erxiang also thought about it, but it is best for Cui Junsu to answer at this time.

Cui Junsu naturally did his part, and after thinking for a moment: "Today, a certain person stated to the emperor that His Highness can cast an amount equivalent to 200 million pennies every year, and there will be a lot of money in the Tang Dynasty in two years' time. Circulation, and after five years, there will be a sufficient amount of circulation. In ten years, the Tang Dynasty will only have King Qin's money. When King Qin's money is designated as official money, it needs to be at least the seventh year."

"Okay, so if the king wants to let Datang have enough circulation in the second year?"

Li Yuanxing asked again.

Cui Junsu shook his head: "Although I have never been in His Royal Highness's coin-making workshop, I know that even if all the money-making craftsmen in the household department were given to His Highness, all the tools in the household department's original coin-making workshop would be useless." It is also extremely difficult for Your Highness to achieve a coinage of 200 million coins."

Li Yuanxing nodded: "This year, counting from now on, it is the limit to be able to mint 50 million coins by the end of the year. Calculated by one penny, it is 20 coins. Including all the craftsmen in the Ministry of Households, next year I want to reach [-] coins. [-] is not so easy."

"Goro must have a magic method?"

"Yes, but it requires the cooperation of the six parts!"

"My Ministry of Households is willing, and I think I must be willing to come to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Rites can easily talk about it. The Ministry of Punishment has little to do with money. The Ministry of Officials can exchange all the capital officials' money for King Qin's money. Naturally, the Ministry of Industry will fully cooperate. Several subordinates If you want to come to the Commercial Department, you must follow in the footsteps of His Highness!"

After Cui Junsu's analysis, he believed that as long as Li Yuanxing had a good idea, then the six parts would definitely cooperate.

"Actually, the method is very simple!"

"Your Highness, please speak!"

"Some things can only be bought with King Qin's money."

Li Yuanxing made a suggestion, and the three people around the table bowed their heads in deep thought. It seemed feasible, but it seemed difficult.

"Please elaborate, Your Highness!" Cui Junsu asked.

Li Yuanxing shook his head lightly: "Wait, wait a little longer."

Fang Xuanling picked up the ice cup in his hand: "The weather is really hot, the freezing point is about to melt, it's not too late to talk after enjoying it. Wait for the pharmacist and Shubao to come, let them have nothing but greed!"

"Greedy, what good things do you have?" Just as he was saying that, Li Jing came.

Seeing Li Yuanxing, Li Jing didn't care about the delicious food on the table, and said directly: "Wulang has high-quality military rations, why don't you tell XX, doesn't it mean that Wulang doesn't know how difficult it is for many soldiers at the border."

border!

Li Jing was accusing Li Yuanxing, and Li Yuanxing suddenly thought of the modern times of the later generations. The soldiers guarding the frontier posts can definitely be called great. They dedicated their youth and life.Even when the modern transportation capacity of later generations is extremely strong, the soldiers on the frontier are also extremely miserable.

The frontier of Datang is only more bitter.

Taking another look at Li Jing's serious expression, Li Yuanxing nodded silently.This is Datang, and he is the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty. If it is placed in modern times, the cigarette pipe and pot of the cabinet master may have fallen on his head.

"Huh..." Li Yuanxing let out a long breath: "Brother Yao, please sit down first, Brother Shubao, and Rong Gong will finish talking about coins. I am also trial-producing the new military rations. Even if they are produced in large quantities, the raw materials are available, but There is no manpower. The number of manpower needed is huge, and it cannot be mass-produced industrially!"

Li Yuanxing's industrial mass production was known to all five people.

Li Yuanxing’s standard is that large-scale machines can be used, at least animal-powered, and even better, water-powered, or even steam-powered, which can be mass-produced and produced purely by the number of people. Before the Tang Dynasty, this It is a normal production method, and according to Li Yuanxing's standards, this is an extremely poor method.

"Brother Shubao, the people under your command are based on carriages and carry heavy cargo. How far can they go in three days and three nights?"

"Five hundred miles!" Qin Qiong replied with a serious face.

"In prefectures and counties with extremely developed waterways, or mainly by waterways, half a day's land journey. Uncle Shubao transports expensive goods such as gold, silver and copper. How many places can you go to in Datang? It can guarantee safety and ensure that you can control everything .”

Li Yuanxing was just asking about Qin Qiong's control range, which confused the few people present.

But Qin Qiong still answered after thinking very seriously.

"About [-]% of the prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty, of which [-]% are very labor-saving, [-]% are barely enough, and the rest are too expensive. Bashu is even more difficult to reach the blue sky, and the cost of Bashu transportation is extremely high. , Even if it’s just money, it’s very difficult. I sincerely hope that Wulang’s train can go directly to Bashu, so it’s only in Sichuan!” (To be continued.)
