Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 701

Chapter 729 Pickled Cabbage

Isn’t that a blessing?
Except for good things like snow boots, all kinds of good things are on sale before the New Year in Youzhou!Headed by Datang Shangchao, what kind of year-old big bargaining activities are being carried out!

A bunch of things that used to be bought for a tael of silver can now be bought for half a tael of silver or even less!
The quality is the same, but the price has dropped so much, which makes the people very happy!
At first, other merchants were a little bit critical of this, but as people from the northern states poured into Youzhou in large numbers just to purchase New Year goods, other local merchants in Youzhou also began to follow suit and drastically cut prices.

Then they discovered that although the price dropped, they themselves did not suffer much.

Because of small profits but quick turnover, their products sold many times more than at this time in previous years!Anyway, no matter how much they sell, it is impossible for them to sell at a loss. Basically, they are not selling at a loss. At most, they make less money.

But the profit of each item is less, but the quantity sold has greatly increased by more than several times!
Some businessmen have even signed long-term cooperation contracts with outsiders because of this, which means that not only are they making money now, but they have already obtained a part of next year's business in advance.

These are just for ordinary people.

Officials and workers, their life is easier.

First of all, the government and the factory sent them New Year's goods.

The types of New Year’s goods involved range from food and drink to daily necessities.Although for these people with a lot of money, even if they are given New Year's goods, they will buy some more, but this New Year's goods, if they are not willing to buy more, relying on them for the New Year is enough up!

Especially this year, Qin Yang also asked people to distribute vegetables to officials and workers, which was even more surprising.

The vegetables in the new year's goods distributed by the government and factories are not Chinese cabbage and radishes, but fresh vegetables in greenhouses.

It is not too short a time before the greenhouse is built. Qin Yang is not short of money now, and the Youzhou government is not short of money, so this time, the vegetables in the greenhouse before this time, except for a part of the supply to the supermarkets in Youzhou, let The common people were able to buy limited amounts, and the rest was distributed to officials and workers.

Of course, Qin Yang and Zhang Yunji built their own sheds, and their family members and people in the mansion could eat whatever they wanted.

Before crossing over, Qin Yang had an attitude that had nothing to do with me when the government gave benefits to officials and workers.If he was in the past, he would have complained if he only cared about officials and workers when he learned that there were such benefits.But when he himself became the king of a state, he finally had a different idea about these things.

The officials under his command, as well as the employees of the factories that belonged only to the government, were not only ordinary people, but also subordinates to him.

Everyone has been busy for a year, and outsiders don't know their hard work, but Qin Yang, the chief boss, sees it.

Therefore, Qin Yang is willing to let the people who follow him eat "meat" and is willing to let Youzhou attract more talents.

This place was originally located in a remote place, and it was so cold in winter, but compared to the ordinary people who were willing to take root in one place as long as they could eat enough, talented people actually had more options to choose from.

Therefore, based on the current situation in Youzhou, Qin Yang wanted to allow officials and talents who came to Youzhou to receive better treatment.This is equivalent to buying a horse with a lot of money, except that buying a horse with a lot of money is to use one or two people as a cover to attract talents, while Qin Yang uses a group of people to attract more talents.

It can also be seen from this that Qin Yang is indeed generous, and Youzhou is indeed not short of money.

Recently, it has been November, and the people of Youzhou, who are not short of money, have started a craze for hoarding sauerkraut.

Accumulating sauerkraut has a long history in the north.

It is recorded in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", King Wen likes this one.

Chinese cabbage is very common in the north. People in Youzhou use Chinese cabbage to store sauerkraut.

Salt is not very cheap in this era, the price is not low.

But now the people of Youzhou are not short of money, and they are not short of money to save sauerkraut and buy salt. So when Qin Yang took Li Lizhi out for a walk, he found that many people were using simple wooden trailers to pull a The bundled Chinese cabbages are rushing home, talking and laughing, making people feel alive at first sight.

Li Lizhi was a little eager to move, and asked Qin Yang in the carriage: "Husband, are they going to buy vegetables and go back to stockpile sauerkraut?"

"Yes, these dishes should be brought back to store sauerkraut. What, you want to eat sauerkraut? Let the kitchen cook some for dinner later?" Qin Yang thought that Li Lizhi wanted to eat it, so he said.

Li Lizhi shook her head and said, "I'm just a little curious about how sauerkraut is made..."

Did you mean to do it yourself?

This is easy too!
Qin Yang said: "Then let someone prepare some things for you later, and you can learn from them to make a vat. It's okay if it goes bad, but it's just a vat of cabbage."

Chinese cabbage, here in Youzhou, is now very cheap.

Not to mention the majestic king and princess of Youzhou, even ordinary people can afford cabbage, and they are not afraid of it being spoiled.In the past, sauerkraut was basically stored in a tank, but now every family basically uses a small tank that can hold ten cabbages in it.

Then every family has three or four cylinders, and there is more than one person who does it. In this way, everyone in the family can do it and have multiple skills, but it will not be broken, and there will be no sauerkraut to eat.

In fact, it’s okay even if one tank goes bad. Some shops in Youzhou now sell sauerkraut.

It is mainly sold to some merchants who celebrate the New Year here or scholars who live here and have not left, so there is no shortage of food in this area in Youzhou.

Hearing what Qin Yang said, Li Lizhi suddenly smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Next, it is busy with some things before the Chinese New Year.

Coming here, Li Lizhi has learned a lot. When she was in Chang'an, she still stayed in the palace most of the time.As a favored princess, it is impossible for her to do hands-on work, and her unmarried status also prevents her from running outside every day. Even if she can leave the palace, it's not like living in Youzhou now The king's mansion is so free.

Therefore, the little loneliness and anxiety of coming to an unfamiliar place and being far away from home have almost dissipated shortly after arriving in Youzhou.

Qin Yang was finally relieved to see that Li Lizhi was very happy to participate in various things every day and had a fulfilling life.

Now, he is actually planning another matter, which is about building a road.
