Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

With green vegetables, Li Xu asked Liu Shu to go to the street to buy rice. He wanted to eat white rice and rice porridge. Although pasta was his favourite, he got tired of eating it for more than a month. As a southerner, rice was his favorite. The staple base.

Although the yellow rice and millet in the north are also rice, to Li Xu, they always lack the taste.

Rice is now mainly produced in the south. Liu Shu searched all over the city and only found one that sold rice, and the price was expensive. Liu Shu was reluctant to buy more, so he bought ten catties and went home.

That night, Li Xu couldn't wait to steam the rice. He ate three bowls in a row, accompanied by a plate of fried vegetables and a plate of pickled radish, which made Liu Shu's heart ache.

He thought to himself: If he had known that His Highness loves rice so much, he should have bought all the rice in that store, and the more expensive it was, wouldn't his Highness deserve to eat the most expensive rice?

After eating, Li Xu remembered to ask about the price of rice. After knowing the price, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried. The happy thing is that in the future, he will have land and land, so as long as he sells the rice to the north, can he make a lot of money?The worry is, can such expensive Minan people really have enough to eat?

After all, buying one catty of rice can buy ten catties of noodles, which is really extravagant!

Liu Shu watched His Royal Highness's face flickering, and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, do you still want to buy rice?"

Li Xu looked at him and asked, "Do you like to eat?"

Liu Shu thought about it seriously, and said, "It's okay, I don't think it's much different from the rice in the north."

Li Xu asked the little princess again: "What do you think the rice tastes like?"

The little princess also thought about it seriously, and said: "Sweet and soft, but not as delicious as noodles."

Li Xu asked again: "In South Vietnam, pasta is not easy to get, and rice is eaten all year round. Can you get used to it?"

The little princess smiled, "Didn't my father say that it only takes 21 days to form a habit, and Shu'er will get used to it after eating."

Li Xu patted her little head, and comforted her, because the little princess was always used to getting up early to greet him, it was useless to say it a few times, he wanted the little girl to sleep longer, so he told her , the habit can be formed as long as you stick to it for 21 days, if you don't believe her, try it.

It was only the tenth day of the trial, and her habit had changed, so she was convinced of it.

But Li Xu thought in his heart: Bread and cakes haven't come out yet, and his gourmet chain stores are also inseparable from flour, so he still has to find a way to find a stable business route.

After all, Li Xu didn't ask Liu Shu to buy rice on a large scale, he only bought a few dozen catties for his own consumption, and then bought a lot of soybeans, preparing to grow bean sprouts on the boat to eat. The little princess likes pasta, so Li Xu asked Liu Shu to buy more Dozens of catties of wheat.

Compared with soybeans and millet, the price of wheat is also higher, and the pasta it makes is also more delicious. In this era, the output of all kinds of food is low, and it depends on the weather. In a year with good weather, you can harvest more. The price of food will also be lower. In a disaster year, everyone will not be able to eat, and the price of food is surprisingly high.

Therefore, life is not easy for farmers who cultivate the land, and it is not easy to maintain food and clothing.

Li Xu has seen too many difficult things along the way, and according to Qiu Chengzhi, the area from the capital to Cangzhou is already the wealthiest place in Dayan. The situation gets worse as you go south. The weather in Yangzhou is smooth There are many years, and the harvest is supposed to be better, and the people should not worry about food, but that area is also the place where pirates are the most rampant. The court has limited troops and the navy is weak. When pirates come ashore, the first to run are those soldiers. In order to survive, the people left behind can often only contribute the food they have worked hard for a whole year.

Later, it gradually evolved into that the villages and towns controlled by pirates had to hand in food and women every year to avoid being burned, killed and looted.

From Li Xu's point of view, once the villagers couldn't pay enough food and women, they wouldn't even have the most basic ability to resist.

However, these problems are not something that Li Xu can solve now, and his current primary goal is to reach South Vietnam alive.

Another day later, Ye Changqing came to him mysteriously, "Your Highness, come out with me."

Li Xu guessed that Ji Hanyu's affairs had progressed, but as soon as he went out with his identity, he might face danger, and he didn't feel safe if he didn't have enough bodyguards.

He thought for a while, and brought Jia Ping with him. After all, he had been kind to him. Li Xu still had five points of trust in Jia Ping, and he recognized Jia Ping as the young guard who refused to carry him out of the carriage before. They joked that Jia Ping was too excited at the time, so his reaction was three beats late.

Li Xu left Liu Shu in the posthouse to take care of the little princess, and told him to go to Commander Lin if something happened to him, and the two little ones would survive.

It may be because of a tragic accident, Li Xu now pays more attention to the aftermath. In the past, the whole family was fed by one person, but now he is the head of the family, so he can't die too casually.

He purposely changed into an unremarkable outfit, took off the jade crown on his hair, and fixed it with a hair tie. He looked just like an ordinary rich man.

Seeing Jia Ping waiting at the door, he asked, "Does Commander Lin know that you are going out with this king?"

Jia Ping replied cautiously: "I know, the leader agrees."

Li Xu nodded and didn't speak. His small favors during this time still had an effect, at least most of the Habayashi Army were polite to him.
