Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

Jiaozhou is the area from Guangxi to Vietnam. The climate is hot and humid, so it is very suitable to plant sugarcane. If Xue Lang wants to build a sugar mill, he must have enough raw materials to supply. Obviously, it can't be built near Chang'an city.

Chang'an was the capital city in the former dynasty, but it was still the capital city in the Tang Dynasty. Most of the land nearby had owners. Although Xue Lang was granted the title of county magistrate, he still felt that his foundation was shallow in Chang'an City, and he did not have the strength to encircle the land in Chang'an.

Jiaozhou is now in a barren and sparsely populated area. If you go to Jiaozhou for enclosure, there is basically no problem. The only trouble is transportation. At present, how to control the transportation cost is a big problem.

Xue Lang has already regarded Princess Pingyang as his wife, so he will not conceal his intention and plan from her. Xue Lang said: "I have a secret recipe that can make the kind of frost sugar I gave you when I was in Weize pass. The raw material is sugarcane. However, where to build a sugarcane garden is a big problem! Sugarcane likes heat rather than shade, so it can only look south, not north, so it reminds me of Jiaozhou. "

Princess Pingyang was wise at the sight. She understood it at once and said with a little meditation: "Jiaozhou is too far away. In your words, there are too many uncontrollable factors. In the beginning, it's better to build two sugarcane plantations in the States and counties far away from Chang'an, and do it first until I find someone to explore the shipping route

This is the words of Lao Cheng. Xue Lang naturally agreed with him and said with a smile, "one thing doesn't bother two masters. I don't have many people to work with. I have to take care of this matter. You have to ask people to choose the right land to build a sugarcane garden. By the way, I'll circle a few more hills to plant fruit trees. I'll be useful along with the sugarcane garden. "

Princess Pingyang nodded, neither asked nor said much. However, Xue Lang's eyes softened a little. She could not help but put her hand in her hand and laughed stupidly.

Princess Pingyang let him hold his hand. With her free hand, she gently covered Xue Lang's hand. With a thoughtful look, she said, "silk and cotton blended technology or movable type printing are easier than sugar making. You gave them all to me..."

Xue Lang interrupted her and said, "now it's not weizeguan, it's Chang'an. As a princess, you have more obstacles in Chang'an than in Weize pass, and you have craftsmen in your hand. You have technical advantages, which is convenient for you to control. As for sugar mills, I plan to give some to a Lin and Heng Yu. On the one hand, they can meet the expenses of our government. On the other hand, they can make the three families live more relaxed. After all, we are all weak people. It is not easy to live in Chang'an, so we can't afford to support them without money. "

Princess Pingyang nodded and said, "I know that you are similar in temperament to ah Lin and Su Han. You don't have any relatives or friends in the Tang Dynasty. It's hard to meet anyone like you. You should be closer. I'll ask someone to do it with you. You just need to try out the way to make sugar. "

"Jianling!"

In a person's life, it is very difficult to find a partner who understands you and understands you. If you are lucky, you should cherish it. Once you miss it, there will be no more! Xue Lang was moved and sighed: "I'm so happy that you can understand me so much! How happy

Princess Pingyang raised a hand, gently stroked his face, and said, "you treat me with all your heart, and I will repay you. You regard my family and friends as relatives and friends, and so do I. If you don't blame me, I will never

Xue Lang sighed in his heart that his royal highness was not stupid and sweet. I think it is her experience that has created her temperament. She is not only a person who knows how to pay. She has her own principles and bottom line. She is very clear in her heart and knows what she wants and doesn't want. She is mature and rational. However, once she decides what to do, she is very decisive. For example, the relationship with Xue Lang!

Xue Lang thought so in his heart, and he said honestly: "I'm certainly very lucky and honored to be favored by your highness. It's really good!"

"Fool!"

Princess Pingyang seemed to be really angry with him. However, the expression on her face was full of joy. She took Xue Lang's hand and was reluctant to let go.

Xue Lang stayed in the princess's mansion until dinner. After returning home, with the help of Chimonanthus praecox, he changed his clothes and washed his clothes. He asked casually, "did Heng Yu use his rice?"

"Su Lang Jun went out to buy medicine, but he hasn't returned home yet," said La Mei

Xue Lang was stunned: "why haven't you come back? Is anyone following? "

"Back to Dalang, two or three follow, and the bodyguards in the mansion."

"That's good!"

After changing clothes and going out, he happened to meet Su Han who came back from the outside with a bag of medicine in his hand. Although his face was still paralyzed, his eyes and movements showed that he was in a good mood, let alone humming a little tune.

"Is Heng Yu in a good mood?"

Xue Lang looked at Su Han and wanted to see why he was so happy. Su Han nodded and said, "it's OK. Today, I went out to buy medicine. I met a man by chance. I had some misunderstandings with me. Today, I'm in a good mood. "

Xue Lang nodded, but continued to ask: "I don't know whether the man who happened to meet is a man or a woman? Young or old? What makes you happy is obviously a good thing. Why don't you share it with your good friends? "

When Xue Lang asked, Su Han's facial paralysis was suspicious. He looked up at Xue Lang and turned his head: "cough It's not early. I haven't eaten yet. I'm very hungry. Youyang has been working hard all day. Go to have a rest. I'll go and eat some food first. "With that, he turned around and walked away, leaving Xue Lang in a mess in the wind -

sleeping trough! Su Han, the facial paralysis patient with EQ deficiency, actually learned to change the topic! Xue Lang felt that his soul was impacted, and he couldn't help but pull the long-term frugality who was waiting beside him: "where did the sun come out this morning?"

Chang Jian is inexplicable: "huidalang, the sun naturally comes from the East!"

Xue Lang has no words to look at Changjian and directly pushes it away. Such a stupid boy is actually his. He feels so sad!

"Two three!"

Just wanted to call out two or three to ask questions with Su Han. Su Han unexpectedly turned back and said, "two or three have no use for food. Come with me and feed it."

He was so smart that he left!

Xue Lang laughs. Well, since he doesn't want to let him know, he won't ask. Anyway, one day he will know. Xue Lang is not a curious person, and he is not a gossip.

Now that February has entered, Xue Lang has a lot of things on hand. He has to be responsible for the trial planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes in Chang'an, the planning of cotton planting, and the trial production of bamboo paper with craftsmen. After reporting to Pei Ju, Xue Lang no longer works in the Ministry of people's livelihood. Instead, he goes every two days. If there is an urgent business, he makes a decision.

Pei Ju knew that Xue Lang had many affairs in his hands, so he naturally agreed.

After arranging the affairs of the Ministry of finance, Xue Lang first tracked the arrangement of the trial plot, arranged for people to turn over the fields, sprinkle lime powder for disinfection and so on, and made preparations first. The main energy is still spent on the trial production of bamboo paper and the experiment of movable type printing.

Xue Lang calculated the size of the typeface according to the paper size commonly used in the Tang Dynasty. The princess of Pingyang was carved by a craftsman -

she chose to choose from among them. Bronze was used as the material for the font, and the ink was the ink used for block printing. The mold has been engraved, so we can open the furnace to cast the font, and then we can test it.

As a result, before the bamboo paper was successfully produced, the movable type was cast!
