Datang first village

How much is abalone worth in Datang?

Wu Zhao didn't know, and neither did Li Yuanxing.After Wu Zhao opened the barrel, the first thing he did was to have someone send a telegram to Jian'an, and it was of a confidential type, asking to be handed over to Lu Maofeng.

The purpose of holding a banquet at the Qin Palace is to celebrate Qin Wangfei's happiness.

All the newspapers in Chang'an City were urgently revised and reprinted.It is the biggest event in Chang'an and even in the entire Tang Dynasty to replace all the news that everyone used to make the headlines on the front page with the news that Princess Qin is happy.

The Palace of the King of Qin held a banquet, in addition to entertaining the Chang'an gentry, they also prepared some wedding cakes for the common people outside the gate.

Abalone and sea cucumber appeared in the newspaper for the first time, with the pharmacology written by His Royal Highness King Qin himself, and some opinions given by Sun Shenxian after the first observation. At the same time, the statement needs to be verified in detail, and Sun Shenxian will publish another pharmacological medical case .

The ingredient that surprised even His Royal Highness King Qin, abalone.Ginseng in the sea, sea cucumber.

What ordinary people are most concerned about is how much these ingredients cost, whether ordinary people can have a good taste, even if it is like eating meat for the last time when they were poor in the past, it is what the people look forward to.

Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Li Yuan of the Great Tang Dynasty personally came to the Tiance Admiral's mansion, as the elder brother and father, as hosts to welcome the guests. Naturally, no one dared to let these two come to greet the guests, but there is this meaning, It was the chief eunuch who greeted him at the door, which was also a royal gift.

"Don't tell Wulang about this for the time being. The battle ahead is important, and Wulang must not be distracted." Li Er wrote an imperial decree on the spot, demanding that the entire Chang'an City must keep it secret for the time being.In fact, as long as the telegraph office is under control and the people on the flying boat are accounted for, Li Yuanxing may have to wait a month to find out.

Li Yuan and Li Er have the same mind.

Moreover, the two of them thought exactly the same, so they were afraid that Li Yuanxing would say that he had a son, and if he wanted to do some good deeds, it would be easy for him to do so.It's a war now, so you have to hate it enough.

The two emperors nodded at the same time and smiled.

It was only then that I started to pay attention to the big barrels, and I laughed again when I saw it.Because Wu Zhao was being carried on someone's back, one after another was being opened, as if they were looking for something.

Li Yuan and Li Er walked to an open bucket, it seemed that besides the sea water, it was the sea treasure called abalone.

"What's the difference? Or what did Goro hide?" Li Yuan asked Li Er.

Li Er also shook his head, and when the two emperors came to Wu Zhao, Li Er asked, "Mingyue, what are you looking for?"

"Super super abalone! Super sea king ginseng!" After Wu Zhao answered, he signaled to continue to open the next wooden barrel.

When Li Er and Li Yuan heard it, they were super!Let Wu Zhao add a super in front, it is enough to represent extraordinary.

There was nothing in the opened bucket, Wu Zhao was very disappointed and motioned to continue searching.Then he explained to Li Er: "Your Majesty doesn't know, Li Yuanxing, a foodie, has eaten the biggest abalones of the sixth and fifth grades before, and the sea cucumbers are only two inches long. There is a saying about abalones, That is, it is difficult to buy second-grade abalone with money.”

After Wu Zhao finished speaking, he explained the rules for grading abalone.

Then Wu Zhao said: "I'm even more pitiful. I haven't even seen a wild abalone. I just ate a sixth-grade abalone that was farmed. This thing is delicious in the world. I must find the super super abalone that Li Yuanxing said. It weighs two catties, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it!"

Li Er and Li Yuan laughed at the same time.

Wu Zhao's saying that the world is delicious misled them. Some things are delicious in the world, but heaven doesn't take care of them overnight.Naturally, it was difficult to find, but it also proved that Wu Zhao's status in the Heavenly Court was not as high as that of Li Yuanxing.

Hearing the drooling, Zheng Xiuyan boldly ran over and asked the people around her to help.

Finally, Tang Jin's top-quality abalone, which was bigger than Wu Zhao's head and as big as a washbasin, was found. Among the thirty abalones in the bucket, the smallest one weighed one and a half catties. It is the best abalone.

"Ah!" Wu Zhao exclaimed, "I wouldn't even exchange a piece of gold!"

"I won't change it for two pieces of gold!" Zheng Xiuyan didn't know how to eat this food, but the food that could make Princess Mingyue exclaim was definitely not bad.

Wu Zhao picked out the smallest one. Tang Jin weighed more than four ounces a catty, which is close to [-] grams in modern times. "Mingyue just wants this, and the Holy One and the Supreme Emperor will enjoy the most."

Li Er laughed: "Pick the biggest ones and I will share them with you."

It's just food, Li Er didn't want to occupy everything, but Li Yuan took the one Wu Zhao picked: "This one belongs to me. The nobles also need some rewards, but these goods have not been accounted for, which shows that it is Wu Lang. The mind there is not on the food, if you take care of it, Mingyue girl is in charge!"

Abalone!

Wu Zhao's eyes were straightened, it was close to a three-jin abalone.Wu Zhao's reaction was the same as when Li Yuanxing first saw it, my god, there is such a huge abalone.In modern times, Ye Qiushuang had never eaten wild abalone, and never even thought about it. In Datang, such natural wild abalone is the best.

Wu Zhao couldn't describe his mood at this moment.

The one-foot-long sea cucumber is not an exaggeration to be called sea cucumber. It is estimated that Wu Zhao will have a few liters of nosebleeds after eating this thing.

At this time, in the small fishing village next to Jian'an City, Lu Maofeng was inspecting the fishing industry in the village.I called the village head, and chatted while walking: "Don't pick up too much of this thing, it will be worthless if there are too many. Of course, those who are very big should be kept, and they should be able to keep some big ones in the future."

"You're right!"

"You need to improve the drying methods of kelp and sea vegetables, as well as the methods of artificial breeding of abalone and sea cucumber. Naturally, I will teach you. Qin Palace has always done things fairly."

Lu Maofeng led the topic without saying a word.

Finally, the village chief said, "I heard that the rewards are generous this time, so I'm terrified."

"Then what price do you think should be set for the ninth-grade abalone, and what price do you think should be set for the first-grade abalone?" Lu Maofeng finally had a chance to ask, at least he needed to know what the fishermen were thinking.

The village chief didn't seem to think about it, and immediately said that the elders of dozens of nearby villages had already discussed it.It's not easy for us to get into the water. Naturally, the ninth-rank ones cost one penny, and the first-rank ones cost nine pennies anyway.Or give a whole, ten pennies.The price of the super product is calculated separately.

The village chief also had a simple idea. When you dive into the sea, you can pick up a basket of these things. Of course, the bigger ones are more precious, and the price is naturally higher.

Lu Maofeng laughed.

"If you think it's inappropriate, just say so. Your Highness said that he is the master, and Xiaomin is just thinking about it."

Lu Maofeng shook his head lightly: "I just know what His Highness means, adding a level and doubling, but this algorithm is a little weird, I'm not a fortune teller. Just make a simple analogy, for example, nine grades, one penny, one piece, The eighth rank is five Wen, and the seventh rank is ten Wen and three. Your Highness said, the sixth rank is one threshold. The sixth rank is thirty Wen, the fifth rank is forty Wen, the fourth rank is fifty Wen. The third rank is [-] Wen. On the one hand, there is a threshold for the first grade, and the prices for the third grade and the second grade are all I can think of, and the first grade can only be royal. The above, needless to say!"

The old village chief opened his mouth wide in surprise. He thought that this thing was expensive, but he never thought it would be so expensive.

Lu Maofeng said again: "The fortune tellers in the mansion think that it is still possible to calculate by weight. Below the ninth grade, there are ten, eleven, and twelve, such small heads. But the weight is afraid of being short, so until now I didn’t come up with a plan. But someone thinks that it’s a good idea in terms of size.”

The village chief just nodded.

"Learn to raise this thing. It takes only two years for six abalones to grow. Think about it, you can be rich even if one is worth ten cents. Your Highness said that no matter how many things there are in the sea, if there are endless people If you go to catch them, you won’t find them. I used to be a hunter when I was young, and the old hunters know the rules of closing the mountain. The female beasts will not be hunted, and the young beasts will not be hunted. We rely on the sea to eat the sea, but we must also learn to respect the sea. The sea has gifts. But people can't be greedy!"

The old village head knelt down and kowtowed to Dahai.

What Lu Maofeng said makes sense.

This is really what Li Yuanxing said, but right now, with these few villages, relying on manpower to enter the water, even if they are given 1 years, they will not be able to destroy this sea resource.

What Li Yuanxing was afraid of was the big fishing boat.

At this time, Li Yuanxing didn't take the small fishing village seriously. A small fishing village had very little influence on the entire Tang Dynasty. He just made a start, telling the world that there are treasures in the sea.

But how to get the treasure will naturally have a rule, this rule will be formally discussed by the Tianying Pavilion, and officially issued by the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites.

Sitting in the temporary study in Jian'an City, what Li Yuanxing cared about was how to dig diamonds and when to start digging.

Will it affect these Goguryeo cities that have just surrendered.

The reason why he did not use force against the area between Beisha City and Anshi City was that Li Yuanxing considered that during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were still Han people here. Mixed race etc.In general, they are biased towards Datang.

The Ministry of Officials is already preparing to send people, first to take over the government affairs and defense of these cities.

Flipping through the documents in his hand, Li Yuanxing called out subconsciously: "Qiuxiang!" Only then did he realize that Qiuxiang was still in Chang'an.

Shaking his head with a wry smile: "Come on!"

Lu Maofeng was still a small fishing village, and a captain came in.

"Two things. One is to ask Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in the name of the king. Some clerical work around the king is handled by the female officials in the mansion. He asked whether it is possible to recruit female officials to Jian'an. The second is to send a telegram called Li Yuanchang. Bring his subordinates over quickly, this king has something to do for them!"

Li Yuanchang was also a conferred prince, and only Li Yuanxing dared to call him by his first name.

Wang Jishan was in the city, discussing with officials from the Ministry of Rites and Yuan Tiangang and others about the etiquette and law of Jingguan.

The guard came over and told the story.

Wang Jishan nodded slightly, and whispered with several officials beside him. (To be continued.)
