Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 591
He is a man, so he can't let Li Jingjing raise money to build a fief.

This winter, he will lead his troops to stay in the Xiongnu Dynasty for two months to kill several tribes.

"Winter is coming soon. The Xiongnu Dynasty was colder than Longbei. It has already snowed now. It's so cold that horses can't bear it, let alone human beings. I don't want you to go." Li Jingjing stepped forward and hugged He Jingyan.

This man is hers, and she wants to live with him for the rest of her life, and she can't let him kill people desperately in the snowy grassland where the long-haired livestock would die.

He Jingyan felt warm in his heart, and coaxed softly: "It's okay. My husband used to come here like this."

"You are not allowed to go." Li Jingjing's tone was so soft that He Jingyan's heart was about to melt.

She went on to say: "Potatoes have also been sold abroad for several 10 taels of silver. The soybeans in the envelope will be harvested soon. I heard the report from the officials below that the output will not be low. My people have built an oil mill, and we will wait for it." When the soybeans are ripe, the soybean oil is pressed."

He Jingyan stretched out his hand to stroke his beloved wife's hair, and said: "The soybean oil can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver at most. Don't worry, I will go to the Hun Dynasty for my husband, at most two months, and I will definitely come back before the twelfth lunar month."

"My soybean oil sells for at least 20 taels of silver. You have to trust me." Li Jingjing raised her head and met He Jingyan's doting eyes. The old scars on his body with intertwined skin appeared in her mind, and she shook her head with tears in her eyes: " No. I won't let you go. You have to stay with me in Longbei."

"My lady, don't cry. With your appearance like this, how can a husband feel at ease when traveling far away?" He Jingyan leaned over and kissed his beloved wife on the forehead, and hugged her warm and soft body with a faint medicinal fragrance, wanting to integrate her into him body.

Li Jingjing wiped tears on He Jingyan's shoulders indiscriminately, and said, "Husband, I bought two shops in Jincheng, and they only sell medicines once a month, and they are specially sold to big drug dealers."

He Jingyan asked, "Grandpa agreed?"

"Don't mention grandpa, he harmed us together with His Majesty, and gave us seven ruined cities as fiefs." Li Jingjing shook her head and said angrily: "I'm married to you, and he doesn't care. I won't listen to what he said .”

The beans in Longbei were ripe, with an average yield of [-] catties per mu, which was nearly three times higher than that of the fertile fields in the south. After the data came out, all the farmers who planted it were ecstatic for a few days.

According to the previous order of the Longbei government, the farmers sold half of the beans to the government, and the remaining half was kept as rations or sold in the market.

Li Jingjing set up all the large oil press workshops in the seven cities to open. The presses used in the workshops were improved, and the oil yield was twice as high as that of the old ones.

Millions of catties of soybeans were transported to the big oil mill, and all the people in the workshop were too busy to keep their feet on the ground.

The small ten-jin mahogany wooden barrels printed with the words Longbei Special Pure and Fragrant Soybean Oil were filled with soybean oil and sealed with oil wax. They were transported to Jincheng by donkey carts, and then transported to Chang'an and Luoyang by the Yellow River waterway and official roads. and the rich Southlands.

On the market, camellia oil sold for 260 copper coins per catty, sesame oil sold for [-] copper coins per catty, and soybean oil in Longbei sold for [-] copper coins per catty.

A bucket of ten catties is two to six cents, which ordinary people can't afford. Only wealthy people who can afford potatoes a while ago can buy them.

It's not that I haven't eaten soybean oil before, but the dishes fried with soybean oil produced by the Longbei government are more delicious, and after eating for a few days, people suffering from constipation will no longer be constipated.

Longbei soybean oil has the effect of curing constipation. The news spread, and the first batch of [-] jin was sold out.

Foreign businessmen heard the news and went to Jincheng to buy Longbei soybean oil. They had no way to meet Li Jingjing, so they had to go to her brother Li Yunxiao.

Li Jingjing asked Li Yunxiao to say, "The soybean oil in Longbei is not enough for the people of this dynasty, so how can it be sold abroad?"

"Please, my son, please say a few nice words in front of the princess."

"There is so much soybean oil in Longbei, please raise your noble hand high, the princess will leak a little from the cracks in your fingers, and the small businessman bought it at a high price and brought it back to the country to be tasted by the nobles of the royal family."

Li Yunxiao passed on the words for five days, and finally Li Jingjing let go. Seeing that these foreign merchants were regular visitors to the Silk Road and often came to the fief to do business, Longbei soybean oil was sold at a price of 560 copper coins per catty.

The price of Longbei soybean oil is seven times that of sesame oil, a total of 20 catties, and it was snatched up by big foreign businessmen in less than a day.

He Jingyan really admired Li Jingjing's method of making money, if he sold Longbei soybean oil for [-] copper coins per catty at most.

Li Jingjing was modest and said with a smile: "The price I set is not high, it was proposed by several officials under you."

Longbei soybean oil has made a lot of money, and it has also won the name of Longbei specialty products. In the future, it will also have sought-after customers.

The private oil workshops in Longbei saw the huge profits of soybean oil in Longbei, so they bought soybeans from Longbei farmers at five copper coins per catty and squeezed them into soybean oil for sale.

It's just that this kind of soybean oil doesn't have the special packaging of the Longbei government, and somehow, it doesn't have the effect of curing constipation.

Therefore, after the foreign merchants came once, they stopped coming. The private oil workshop only made money once, and the rest of the soybeans were thrown into their hands. It became two copper coins per catty, and the silver money earned before was not enough to pay back.

Naturally, some officials reported the matter to He Jingyan and Li Jingjing.

He Jingyan shook his head and said, "The potatoes have made these traders a fortune, and they have tasted the sweetness. This time, they are here to grab the government's soybean oil profits."

Li Jingjing smirked and said: "How can we make wedding dresses for those vendors every time, one time is enough."

He Jingyan asked curiously: "My lady, why does the soybean oil squeezed by your oil workshop have the fragrance of vegetables and the effect of curing constipation?"

"The quality of the oil is good, that's the new oil pressing machine. As for the effect of curing constipation." Li Jingjing paused for a while, with a secretive expression, and said in a low voice: "I asked my soldiers to put some intestines in the beans when pressing the soybean oil." powder."

"Miss, I remembered a sentence for my husband." He Jingyan stretched out his hand and tapped his wife's slightly upturned nose, and said word by word: "No business, no adultery."

Li Jingjing took a sip, and said: "The medicinal powder for moistening intestines that I made will not cause diarrhea, and can improve the digestive organs of the human body. One tael of the medicinal powder costs three taels of silver, and if it is put in soybean oil, people who buy oil will take advantage of it." sent."

He Jingyan smiled and coaxed: "My lady's medicine powder is bought and sold without money, and you don't need to spend a single coin. If you get it cheap, you can still act like a good boy. But as a husband, you just love your lady."

It was the end of September, after two frosts, the north wind howled at night, the temperature dropped sharply during the day, and the weather started to get cold.

Half of the leaves in the Jincheng mountain forest had fallen, and some trees in the city mansion had also fallen, showing the bleakness of winter everywhere.
