Yunyang little prince

"What to replace?"

"grain."

Dasheng has been rich and strong for so many years, the country has savings, and the people also have. It is unlikely that there will be no food to eat just because of the drought this year.

The country has granaries, and some local gentry and big merchants also have them.

At this time, they don't take out their hands, they are just hoarding them.

Refugees are nothing to them, and how many people starve to death is just a number. They just wait for more and more refugees to die, and wait for a better opportunity.

They can afford to wait, even casually.

But refugees can't wait.

When they were young, the first time Li Shizi made money was the money of the rich and powerful, but this time Yu Ning wanted to earn food from the wealthy gentry and businessmen for the common people.

Use the soap that Chengdu is flocking to at this time to exchange the food they are hoarding, so as to prevent refugees from starving to death outside the city.

So Yu Ning is determined not to give away this soap to anyone, not even the prince, and he will not do more for at least one year.

To exchange food from profiteers, we must let them know that the exchange is precious enough.

There are many grain merchants who have grain, and there may be new grain next year, but soap is not, and if it is not changed, there may be no more in the future.

Some businessmen want status and face, some businessmen want to buy for research and manufacture, and some businessmen and officials want to give gifts.

Yuning risked his life not to give it to the third prince, precisely because he and the prince are the princes most officials in the world want to please, and the businessmen want to please the officials.

Even if you don't give them away, their presence demonstrates the value of the soap.

Taking advantage of the two imperial brothers, Yu Ning embarrassedly scratched her face.

Li Shizi and Yu Beizheng were stunned when they heard this.

They quickly understood Yuning's intentions.

Yu Beizheng was deeply moved: "Brother Xiaoning has grown up."

The little boy who would hold an umbrella for Xing Chenhua when he was a child has grown into a boy who holds an umbrella for refugees.

Li Shizi said: "Seventh Prince, I will help you."

Yu Ning: "I want to give all the food in exchange to the refugees. It doesn't make money and wastes manpower and material resources."

Li Shizi smiled: "Will I still earn the refugee's share?"

What he loves most is rich people's money.

Yuning also laughed.

Li Shizi said directly: "My dear prince, there is one thing you need to know, if this soap is exchanged for a lot of food, the food in the hands of merchants will drop sharply, and the price of food in the market may rise even higher."

"In this case, the group of people who could still afford food may not be able to afford it."

"Well, it makes sense." Yuning said: "However, if we really change a lot of food, the food can be adjusted and replenished at any time in our hands, which is more secure than in the hands of merchants."

"Besides, instead of harvesting grain from one city, we trade it in different regions, mainly concentrated in the land of fish and rice. Each city limits the quantity, so as to avoid this problem as much as possible."

"Collect all the food in the world to save the ten cities with the worst drought."

Yuning glanced at him, "It would be even better if we could get food from Nanshu and Beiyue."

Li Shizi: "..."

Why such a big ambition at such a young age?

He smiled wryly: "Baby prince is really going to embarrass me to death."

Yu Ning smiled, "Our three countries each have superior resources, but also have resources that are urgently needed. In the future, if commerce and trade are fully opened and resources complement each other, it will be a good thing for the country and the people of the three countries."

Now the relationship between the three countries is tense, but it is not without any contact, just like Dasheng's imperial examination is still open to scholars from all over the world.

It's just a small amount, and most of them are private transactions.

Li Shizi asked: "How to open it completely?"

Yuning: "Open a city at the junction of the frontiers, so that merchants from the three countries can trade freely."

After listening to Li Shizi, he fell into deep thought. The more he thought about it, the more excited he was. When he was so excited that he grabbed Yu Ning's arm and wanted to say something, Yu Ning said: "It will be a very long process. According to the current situation of the Three Kingdoms, it will be very difficult. , let’s collect food for the refugees first.”

Li Shizi: "..."

Seeing that he was a little dazed, Yu Beizheng slapped him on the head, "What are you thinking about!"

Prince Li shook his head and smiled, "Okay, how much soap does the Seventh Prince want to change?"

Yu Ning: "Chengdu is exchanged for 50 yuan, five cities including Xihe County and Qingcheng in the land of fish and rice are exchanged for 100 yuan each, and other cities are less, and cities with droughts are not exchanged."

There are rich and powerful everywhere, and the city where wealthy businessmen gather is only 50 yuan. It is conceivable how tragic it is.

Prince Li thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "The Seventh Prince is weak, so he can't do so much, that's all."

Yu Beizheng chuckled, "It's really sloppy, maybe even my classmates have been tricked."

Li Shizi: "Do you think that the food they get from others is not obtained by cheating?"

Yu Ning lowered his eyes and thought for a while, but smiled and said nothing.

After school that afternoon, Yu Ning wrote the required materials to Li Shizi and asked him to go out to the palace to buy them.

"Why don't you go to the inner warehouse to ask for it?" Yu Beizheng asked.

"The last time I made it for you and the emperor's grandmother, you can get it from the inner warehouse. This is going to be exchanged for food, so you can't use materials from the inner warehouse." Yuning said.

The head of the internal treasury is the father of Concubine Bai. Although they don't treat him like they did when they were young, they still made Yu Ning encounter many soft obstacles. Yu Ning doesn't want to hit the wall again in this matter.

"Okay, leave it to me, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

【Zai Zai is right, Concubine Bai and the others are obviously hostile to Zai Zai, so we can't leave them anything to say. 】【But we have their handle, if she acts like a demon again. 】【I'm so annoyed that she is always acting weird in front of the emperor. 】

[Tear King Sang Siqi: I have endured her for a long time. If it weren't for her, the emperor wouldn't treat Zai Zai like this. Let's tear her up. 】Yuning: "Let's change the food first."

They are a bit annoying, but after all, they haven't done anything unforgivable, they are all small tricks behind the scenes.

[It's just annoying, it's annoying to watch. 】

[It's best not to hurt my cub. 】

[They also plan to get the title of princess. 】

Yu Ning blinked, thoughtful.

After Li Shizi brought the materials the next day, Yu Ning started to make it that afternoon. He didn't ask anyone else, but asked Yu Beizheng and Li Shizi to help.

Stirring is a physical labor, and it is mainly done by the two of them. If it is not for the banner of the Seventh Prince doing it himself, the two of them would not want him to intervene.

The three of them were busy until late at night, and finally Li Shizi fell asleep in the tree house.

They plan to store this batch of soap for ten days, and then take it out for food when it is hard enough.

They have not been idle for the past ten days. They first discussed the method of exchanging food.

"We don't say how much food we want to exchange, but give them the power to see how much they are willing to pay."

Li Shizi: "Like an auction house?"

Yuning: "No, they don't know each other's bid."

Li Shizi: "?"

Yu Ning: "Anyone in the city who is willing to exchange food for soap can participate. Let them write their names, business names or residences, and the number of grain stones they are willing to give on a piece of paper, put them in a sealed envelope and collect them together. Among them, hundreds of public exchanges with the highest number of stones will be listed."

Li Shizi tasted it, his eyes brightened, "Second!"

"My dear prince, why do you always have so many novel and good ideas?"

Yuning smiled: "It was the book from heaven that told me."

Li Shizi: "I really want to believe it."

Yuning: "..."

【Hahaha, we really told Zai Zai! 】

[Bidding thinking, I know it since I was four years old. 】

Yuning: "In addition, we will give an extra gift to the person who has the highest amount of food, and there is only one in each city."

Li Shizi: "This gift is to stimulate them to pay, right, so it must be very rare."

Yuning gave a "hmm", and he was already paying attention, so he said: "The packaging of luxury things is also important, let's make a soap box."

Li Shizi: "Okay, tell me, whether it's a jade box, an agarwood box or a porcelain box, I'll find them all for you."

Yuning: "Find me a kiln."

Li Shizi: "...?"

Things like glass are very common in Interstellar. There are all kinds of anti-radiation glass and bullet-proof glass, so that players know more about glass than soap.In fact, they only know about soap, they have never seen the real thing, and the soap made by Yuning is the first they have seen.

Familiarity with glass allows them to easily teach Zai Zai the principles and materials needed to make glass.

Glass was found in different ways in different places in ancient times. Some were found when natural soda was burned on the beach, and some were found when pottery was fired in pottery kilns.

Yuning has a kiln here, so he went directly to the kiln to make glass.

A good horse is equipped with a saddle, and he wants to make a unique glass box for soap here.

Two of the four main materials for making glass, quartz sand and feldspar, are used in firing porcelain. The other limestone is very common, and natural soda ash is not difficult to find in salt lakes.

Yuning followed Li Shizi to a kiln factory in his family, he was probably the first prince to enter the kiln factory.

From exploring the ratio of ingredients, melting glass, to grinding and annealing, he is there every step of the way.

The craftsmen didn't know that he was the prince, so they groped and discussed with him, and even patted him on the shoulder when they were excited.

Li Shizi looked at Yuning who was blending with the disgraced craftsmen, and was filled with emotions, inexplicably gratified and moved.

The glass that finally came out did not disappoint their hard work, and in the eyes of Dasheng people, it was more beautiful than jade.

It's just fragile and breaks easily.

Yu Ning touched the glass and said, "The more fragile the more beautiful."

What he said was glass, but Li Shizi looked at him.

Yu Ning said: "We want to bind the soap to the glass box, and imprint the point that 'only the soap in the glass is the real soap' in people's minds, so that even if someone makes soap in the future, ours will be unique. Most orthodox."

This idea is very good, but Li Shizi didn't praise him, and only urged him: "Seventh Prince, don't worry, go back and rest."

Yuning: "?"

Confused, Yuning was urged to go back to rest.

The rest was all done by Li Shizi, and it was the exchange day in Chengdu that Yu Ning was taken by Li Shizi to watch the fun.

Accompanied by Yu Beizheng and the Sixth Prince.

The location is the largest auction house in Shengdu, and they are sitting in the private room with the best view.

"I heard that the glass boxes shipped to other places are broken?" Yu Beizheng asked.

In those few days, he didn't participate in glass making, and he didn't see it with his own eyes. He just felt that the glass was too fragile.

If it is used as a box, is this a box for people, or is it a box for people to serve?

Li Shizi smiled and said: "It is indeed fragile, but it was not broken during delivery, it was broken by my order."

The sixth prince: "Huh?"

"In some ways, the more fragile something is cherished, the more precious it is."

Yu Beizheng: "...you are really a material for a profiteer."

They don't know the situation in other cities, but they can see everything in Chengdu.

More and more people came in with invitation letters. These people were all screened by Li Shizi. It can be said that being able to come in represents a kind of identity and recognition.

Many of them are acquaintances, who came in to greet each other and sit.

Yu Ning didn't know anyone in the lobby, most of them should be businessmen, but I don't know if there are any dignitaries in the private rooms on the second and third floors.

Yuning sat here, looking at the lobby and reading the heavenly scriptures, he knew almost the news of the entire auction house.

When the time came, shopkeeper Liu from the main store of Qixiang Hot Pot Restaurant came out again.

"Before you send out your food, let me show you the soap to be exchanged."

After shopkeeper Liu finished speaking, several maids came out with various boxes in their hands, shuttled through the lobby, and displayed them one by one.

There are also maids in the upstairs room to send them into the room.

Almost everyone couldn't help being amazed when they saw it.

These maids all have one characteristic, that is, they have good-looking hands, and they are not ordinary maids who do rough work for rich families.

Xianxian held the crystal box in her hand, and the two contrasted with each other, which was too beautiful to behold.

The box is really magical, almost transparent, and the soap inside can be seen at a glance.

Soaps are made into various delicate shapes, and there are [-] kinds of flowers such as peony, peach blossom, and lotus, and the real petals in the soap are faintly visible.

"There are a total of fifty soaps in Shengdu. These fifty soaps are different and unique."

Everyone likes unique things.

Many people have already added a lot of food to the original basis.

"That box!"

"Yes, what kind of box is that!"

"It's amazing to be able to see what's inside!"

Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile: "This is a glass box, which is specially used to hold soap. It cannot be bought anywhere in the world."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he wanted to say something else, and the reminder has already begun.

"Get started!"

"do not talk!"

"I can't wait to touch that glass case and shower with soap!"

The shopkeeper stretched out his arms and wanted to press down, "Listen to me one last thing, the person who pays the most, in addition to the soap, will also give an extra gift that is unique to everyone in the whole city."

"I believe everyone will know that this gift is not ordinary after seeing the soap box and the glass box."

Seeing that many people below were excited, the shopkeeper said: "Okay, now please fill in the number of grain stones, after a cup of tea, someone will collect them, and the results will be announced on the spot after counting."

Everyone in the auction house was lost in thought, because discussion was prohibited, and the lobby seemed very quiet.

"How much grain can one piece of soap be exchanged for?" Yu Beizheng guessed, "Ten stones? Hundred stones?"

Li Shizi: "..."

Seeing the indescribable expression on his face, Yu Beizheng was shocked: "No way, a small piece of soap can cost more than a thousand stones of grain?"

The sixth prince was startled when he heard the thousand stones. He remembered that the food in his grandfather's salary was only three or four hundred stones a year.

Li Shizi: "Fourth prince, there are quite a few things added here that are worth thousands of gold."

Yu Beizheng: "That doesn't add much!"

Yuning was listening with a smile when he suddenly saw interesting news in the book.

[Zai Zai, Room No. [-] on the third floor belongs to Concubine Bai! 】

【I just heard them say that they must bring back five for the fourth princess. 】【Hahaha Zaizai didn't give it to her last time, she must be mad at her hahaha! 】Yu Ning smiled, this is indeed the character of the fourth princess, she must get what she wants.

In fact, in the past two days, he really wanted Xiaoyuan to talk more about soap in front of the fourth princess, but he didn't expect that the fourth princess would want five yuan, one-tenth of Chengdu.

[They are discussing the amount of food, and they also look very bald. 】

[They want five more, hehe. 】

[I don't know how much other people pay, this time is just engaging in psychological warfare. 】【Out!They finished writing, one with five thousand stones, one with six thousand stones, one with seven thousand stones, one with eight thousand stones, and one with twenty thousand stones... What the hell!Twenty thousand! 】【This is no matter what, at least one must be kept! 】

[How much is one stone? 】

Yuning was stunned when he heard this number, and whispered, "About 120 catties."

【Fuck! 】

[Neiku's greasy water is really scary! 】

[They give Zai Zai so much food hahaha! 】

Yuning smiled and rolled her eyes.

One person and one stone of grain can barely survive the most difficult period, and twenty thousand stones can save twenty thousand refugees.

If Xihe County and other wealthy places performed so well, all the refugees in Dasheng would be able to eat.

Yuning's eyes are bright, his happiness cannot be concealed.

The author has something to say: Fourth Imperial Daughter: Do you think that if you don’t give it to me, you won’t have it, heh!
