Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Those who actually make mattresses are those of the Mo family, who hardly know the process.

To be precise, mattresses in Wuling County are hard mattresses, but they are soft mattresses compared to plank beds.

"What is a spring?"

Du Ruhui was puzzled and asked.

What is a spring and how has he never heard of it?

Li Shimin on the side also didn't understand, looking at Fang Yuan with doubts.

"Oh, it's a hollow, strong, elastic thing made of steel smelting wire in a circle."

Fang Yuan almost forgot that they didn't know what a spring was.

There is no word spring in this era, but something similar already exists.

In order to facilitate the two people's understanding, Fang Yuan gestured with his hands while talking.

"So that's the spring."

"I didn't expect the bed to have springs."

Du Ruhui sighed.

He already understood what a spring looked like.

It's just really hard to imagine that the spring can be installed in the bed.

Even the dragon bed is wooden in nature, but it can be fitted with iron. Do you think it is strange?

"What about this road?"

"How did this road come about?"

"The roads in Chang'an City are not that smooth, and it looks very solid."

The two are like curious babies.

He kept asking Fang Yuan this and that, his thirst for knowledge was very strong.

"This road is called a cement road, and it is made of cement."

"As for how the cement is made, this is confidential and I cannot tell you."

Fang Yuan shook his head and smiled.

This time, he didn't say anything.

You know, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and if roads pass, money will roll in.

Most of the credit for Wuling County's development today is due to the road.

After five months, I will be transferred to another place to take up the post, and I need cement to build roads to get rich quickly.

If the royal caravan knew about it, they would tell the emperor that if the emperor spread everywhere, how could he take advantage of the opportunity to get rich?

"You kid, are you still worried that we will steal your secret recipe?"

Du Ruhui scolded with a smile.

Like the tone of an elder to a younger generation.

Because Li Shimin didn't pursue Fang Yuan's issue, he already regarded Fang Yuan as someone who could be cultivated.

Fang Yuan didn't speak, he touched his nose in embarrassment, thinking when did our relationship get so good?

And you, a housekeeper, dare to call a county a kid?

Du Ruhui also seemed to feel that he had said something wrong, and the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became a little weird.

Fortunately, at this time, the groom stopped the carriage and reminded that South Street had arrived, so that the embarrassing atmosphere was resolved.

Several people got out of the car one after another.

There are people coming and going in South Street, and the shops on both sides are open for business, which is very lively.

As soon as Li Shimin and Du Ruhui landed, they were attracted by the excitement in front of them, as if they had returned to Chang'an City.

And they also saw many things that were not found in Chang'an City.

The traffic is busy and the flow is endless.

South Street is as lively as a big city.

But there are many things that can't be seen in big cities.

Li Shimin and the two were like children, looking at everything in front of them with novelty.

“Iced watermelon juice, delicious and cheap!”

"Popcorn, delicious popcorn!"

"Fruit platter, fresh fruit platter!"

Street shops, stalls at the door, and sales staff enthusiastically promote the products.

Whenever he comes to South Street, Fang Yuan feels like he is in a modern city, enjoying the convenience of modern city life.

This was built by Fang Yuan in five years, it is the busiest place in Wuling County, it supports most of Wuling County's economy.

"Iced watermelon juice?"

"Boss, how did you get your ice?"

Li Shimin's expression changed, he stepped forward a few steps quickly, and asked.

On Mayday, the royal family had used up all the ice cubes they stored last winter, but ordinary vendors in Wuling County had it?

If a single store has ice cubes, it can be considered as a specialization, but there are several shops selling iced watermelons on site, which shows that ice cubes are common in Wuling County.

"Oh, I bought it from the Mohist Research Institute."

"Boss, would you like an iced watermelon juice? It's delicious and cheap."

The shop owner replied friendly and recommended his own products by the way.

"What is the Mohist Research Institute?"

Li Shimin was puzzled and asked.

His first reaction was the Mohist from the Hundred Schools of Philosophy.

But the branches of Mohism only have the ink of Xiangli family, the ink of Xiangfu family, and the ink of Dengling family. When will there be a research institute of Mohism?

"The Mohist Research Institute is the Mohist Research Institute, does the boss want watermelon juice?"

The store owner was a little impatient.

He is not the only guest of Li Shimin.

When talking to Li Shimin, he had sold two watermelon juices.

"Then let's have three."

Li Shimin sighed.

Fang Yuan and Du Ruhui have already walked to the side.

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Du Ruhui asked how much it was.

"A piece of eight coins."

The boss said with a smile.

Three copies were quickly made for Du Ruhui.

But when he saw Fang Yuan was there, he immediately withdrew the hand that wanted to collect the money.

"You are here too. Are these all your friends? Then I won't charge any money."

The boss smiled even more.

The words did not sound flattering, but came from the heart.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui both looked at Fang Yuan, their eyes full of surprise.

An official who can make the people not accept money from the bottom of their hearts is terrible.

"No, they are not short of money."

Fang Yuan shook his head, said calmly.

Take one of them and turn around to leave.

"Xianzun, go slowly, come again next time."

The boss excitedly waved to Fang Yuan, watching Fang Yuan leave.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui looked at each other, gave the money and followed Fang Yuan.

The three of them walked for a while, which was full of various snacks.

No matter what era it is, men don't like snacks very much, and they never buy other snacks on the road.

"Butler Du, the mattress is in the front, should we look at the mattress first?"

Fang Yuan pointed to a shop not far away.

South Street is a hodgepodge, not just selling food.

Everyday necessities and so on, all kinds of things are available.

The division is very detailed, after the snack area is the daily necessities area.

"Okay, let's look at the mattress first."

Du Ruhui's eyes lit up, and he quickened his pace.

There were far fewer people in the daily necessities section, Fang Yuan was recognized by the store owner as soon as he walked to the store entrance.

"County Honor?!"

"How did you come here, magistrate?"

"Xianzun, if you want a mattress, you don't need to come here in person. I will choose the best one and send it to you."

The store owner is enthusiastic.

Three steps and two steps approached Fang Yuan, smiling like a flower.

A man in his 40s, his face already has a lot of wrinkles, Fang Yuan's goosebumps are soaring when he smiles.

"They are the guests."

"The original price is whatever it is, and there is no need to specially discount it."

Fang Yuan walked away, pointed at Du Ruhui and Li Shimin and said.

"How about that?"

"Friends of Lord Xianzun must have a discount!"

The store owner smiled even more.

Warmly greet Li Shimin and Du Ruhui.

There is also a helper in the shop, the shop owner immediately asked him to pour tea to greet Fang Yuan.

"Bosses, please take a look, these are mattresses from our store."

"You can lie down and sleep as much as you like, until you are satisfied."

The store owner pointed to the mattresses in the room and said.

Although it is said that the whole house is full of mattresses, the house is not big, and there are only seven or eight mattresses lying flat, and most of them are placed upside down on both sides.

"it is good."

Du Ruhui and Li Shimin followed the store owner to visit the mattress.

But the two of them didn't like lying on the bed in public, so they just sat around.

After sitting on several mattresses, Du Ruhui quickly had an idea in his mind, knowing which one he wanted.
