What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

It seems that Chang'an has not changed much, and it seems that there have been many changes.The track in Luoyang is already being laid, but everyone knows that the court is doing business. There are a lot of corpses and vegetarian meals, and there are many people who work in the middle. Thanks to the court's sufficient financial resources, otherwise, if the track is laid like this, the court may have to go bankrupt .

The track has not been laid yet, so after arriving in Luoyang, Princess Li Yue Xincheng and her party went to Chang'an along the official road. Although Li Yue had been away from Guanzhong for a while, his influence did not decrease because of this. A large number of goods are full of his shadow.For the spices and canned food known to Li Yue at the top, Li Yue has bonuses with varying time limits in it, while the middle and lower floors are because of the large amount of dry goods transported from Lingnan.Most of them are dried fish, fish floss, etc. These are very cheap, much cheaper than mutton and even pork on the market.Don't think that pork will be so cheap now that Li Yue has figured out the method of pig slaughtering before.Cheap pigs are the kind that are kept next to the toilet or even in it. They eat all kinds of messy things. After the pigs are killed, the parasite eggs can be seen with the naked eye, and the taste is actually very bad. Of course it is cheap. , and now the middle class of this era, that is, the class above the self-cultivating farmers and small landlords are willing to eat, that is, the kind of pigs that are raised with cooked pig grass, bran and swill.The reason why these pig breeds are almost extinct in later generations is because they don’t grow fat fast, unlike later generations. On the one hand, the pig breeds are better, and on the other hand, there is that kind of feed specially used for fattening, so seven or eight months It can grow to [-] to [-] catties. Today's pigs are not willing to sell until they grow to [-] to [-] catties, and this usually takes several years.Under such circumstances, it is impossible for you to expect to sell at a low price.

But the various dried fish floss transported from Lingnan, or Jiaozhou Bay, are different. These are really cheap.Although Lingnan doesn't have their own boat yet, they have already refitted the hull, carrying a large amount of coal in the cabin, and after catching fish, the sailors will clean and rinse the boat directly, and then send it directly to the special production ship. The dried fish is dried in the drying oven. After drying, it will not be shipped back to Lingnan at all, and it will be sold directly in ports such as Jiaozhou Bay. In fact, the difference is not too much, but fish must be more nutritious than food. Besides, this is dehydrated dried fish. Every time you cut a piece with a knife, the whole family can eat some minced meat, which is amazing. !There is even a small plane in Lingnan, which can scrape the pieces from the top of the dried fish. If you save a little, just be careful not to let the dried fish get wet and keep it dry. If you buy a few, you can eat it for a year .Therefore, even poor people are willing to gather together and buy a stone of dried fish to go back to improve their lives.

As for fish floss, it cannot be equated with dried fish. These will not be processed on board, but will be transported to Minyue for more refined processing, and according to different raw materials, they will be divided into different grades, and then used Fine porcelain vessels are sealed and sold. The price of this thing is much higher than that of dried fish. A can can be sold for [-] yuan, and the supply is in short supply. Not to mention, the seasoning used here seems to many people. Worth the price.It has a good taste and is also very durable. Therefore, it is a very good dish for those who study abroad and some businessmen who need to travel far. Therefore, the sales volume is very good.

Just by selling fish, Lingnan has added several boats in the past few years. As the number of boats increases, more fish can be caught and more money can be made. This is a virtuous circle.This also prompted many people to want to start fishing, but there are a lot of fish in the sea, but they may not have that kind of fishing skills.Among other things, Li Yue's fishing boat uses trawl nets. The fishing nets these days are mainly woven with twine, and the seawater is very corrosive. If they are not properly maintained, the fishing nets will rot if they are salvaged several times. On Li Yue's side, although the chemical fiber technology has not yet been lit up, they have repeatedly soaked the fishing net in oil, added thread twisted from silk, and even mixed some quenched iron wire into it. This increases the life of the fishing net and makes repairing it much easier.If you change someone, can you weave such a large trawl?Even if it can be done, the time, energy and even materials needed to repair the fishing nets are enough.

In short, in today's era, only Li Yue can control the cost of sea fishing at a relatively low level. If others want to do this, they will only lose money.

In addition, Li Yue's whaling industry has also kicked off. A slightly larger whale can provide more than ten tons of fish meat. Even if it is dried, that is a relatively large number. These are made into dried fish. , the cost will only be lower.For example, in the army, a large amount of dried fish was purchased as military rations, which was much more cost-effective than killing pigs and sheep.In particular, Datang is now building heavy armored cavalry and heavy armored infantry. If you want to wear heavy armor and continue to fight, you must have a good body.A good body must not be obtained by eating casually, it must have a large intake of protein and fat.In the past, pigs and sheep had to be slaughtered almost every day in the military camps, so that these elites could maintain a certain combat capability. Now, a large part of the mutton and pork is replaced with fish, which can save a lot of military expenses!Even, this kind of food with a long preservation time and unique flavor is also sold well in the Western Regions and grasslands. They hardly have the habit of eating fish. On the one hand, it is difficult to catch fish on their side; There are too many bones in freshwater fish, and it is not used to eating. These dried fish have very few bones in them, and the taste is not bad. Besides, when there is no meat to eat, no one will dislike the source of meat.

When Li Zhi thought of Li Yue's tax reduction and exemption for several years, he felt a little distressed at the moment, it was all money!In order to lay the track, the national treasury has spent a lot of money in the past year. In addition, the attack on the Turks was really fun, and a lot of seizures were made. However, these seizures are actually difficult to realize. This directly led to the large expenditure of the national treasury. The money was used for rewards and pensions for the army, and the Ministry of Households cried poorly in the court every day, forcing Li Zhi to pay from the internal funds.Thinking of Minyue's loss of a large amount of taxes, Li Zhi was naturally a little depressed.

Li Yue didn't care about these things. Li Zhi even wanted to exempt ten years. If Li Yue hadn't tried his best to shirk it, Fujian would only need to pay a small amount of taxes in the next seven or eight years!Therefore, Li Yue is not guilty at all.

Fortunately, although Li Zhi felt distressed in his heart, he still wouldn't show it on face.He praised Li Yue vigorously, saying that if the clan could be as capable as Li Yue, Datang would be able to quickly move towards Datong society!Li Yue really wanted to roll her eyes, that is, she had no ambitions. If the clan was full of time travelers like Li Yue, believe it or not, someone would rebel every day?There are even desperate people who want to rob Li Zhi for his wife?

After praising Li Yue, Li Zhicai turned his attention to Princess Xincheng who was sitting on the side. He wanted to reprimand him, but when he saw that Princess Xincheng was sitting there, she seemed a little relieved (mainly because she was busy on her way, I was perfunctory at the meal), and suddenly felt distressed again, and said: "It's all over, you still can't forget it, why bother?"

Princess Xincheng originally thought that this time it was inevitable that she would reprimand her, but she didn't know that was all there was to it?However, she wasn't mean, so she put on a sad look at this moment: "It's just that I can't forget it, Changsun Quan is already planning to marry another!"

On the one hand, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, but on the other hand, he was a little angry. It's the same thing as Li Zhi, but you don't want to defend yourself like a jade for the princess?In other words, you have no problem taking concubines, but you actually want to marry a regular wife?The old man has double standards, so Li Zhi immediately said: "Hmph, what is Changsun Quan? If it weren't for Changsun, he could be a son-in-law? Sister, don't worry, I will find you a good one later!"

Princess Xincheng is not keen on getting married, so she quickly shook her head and said: "Brother Huang, I'm not in a hurry to get married, this is fine now, when I really like someone, I will come to ask Brother Huang to marry me! "

Seeing that Princess Xincheng didn't mean to force her, Li Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. It doesn't matter whether his sister is married or not. He really doesn't want Princess Xincheng to continue to be immersed in the previous relationship.For a princess, a man is nothing more than a thing that comes and goes. If she is like an ordinary woman and feels sad and happy because of a man's sorrow and joy, then it is meaningless!Of course, if the other party is reliable, like Fang Yiai, who can hold Gao Yang in his palm and refuse to make Gao Yang suffer any grievances, then naturally there is no problem.However, most princesses and son-in-laws don't actually have such a deep relationship, so it's better to let go of your mind and enjoy yourself in time!As long as you don't fool around with your nephew like that Fangling princess, and get caught by the son-in-law, there is no problem.

Of course, you can't say this in front of Princess Xincheng. If it spreads later, it will appear that the royal family is particularly unruly.Of course, the relationship between Lao Li's family is notoriously chaotic, but you can be chaotic here, but you still have to talk about moral order.It should be noted that in this era, etiquette and morality are the lowest-cost means of governance. Through the constraints of etiquette and morality, at least most people will not have any rebellious thoughts.Therefore, the royal family and the government can disobey the rules, but they cannot advocate disobeying the rules.

Princess Xincheng wanted to prevent Li Zhi from messing up the mandarin ducks, so she ended up talking about Li Yue: "Speaking of which, Shiwulang has also reached the age of marriage. I don't know what the emperor's brother has planned?"

The way Li Yue looked at Princess Xincheng was accusing, big sister, I helped you like that before, but it turned out to be a fire?

As expected, Li Zhi looked at Li Yue, and said with a smile, "I heard that the women in Baiyue are passionate and charming. I wonder if Shiwu Lang has your eyes on any girls?" Li Zhi is also having a headache about Li Yue now. Yes, Li Yue's wealth is indeed attractive, and his status can be regarded as noble, but when it comes to marrying Li Yue, many people will hesitate.There are a few high-ranking women who are willing to go to Lingnan, saying that they want to be princesses, but in fact, what is the difference between exile and exile!

Not to mention the daughters of the aristocratic family, even those relatives know that Lingnan is very different from before, but it is still difficult to make up their minds to marry their daughters there. On the one hand, the climate in Lingnan seems to them to be It was so bad that even a man might not be able to bear it, let alone the female relatives of the family. On the other hand, Lingnan was too far away. If the girl in the family suffered any grievances, they would not be able to support their daughter.

Therefore, as long as Li Yue is still the king of Fujian, his marriage will be a problem. Li Zhi, who climbs the dragon and the phoenix, looks down on him. This naturally becomes a tricky question.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Zhi felt that it would be a good idea for Li Yue to marry a woman of good background among the Yue people.It is a pity that after Feng An's death, there has never been anyone in Lingnan who can coerce Baiyue. Even Feng An is worse than Mrs. Xian in this regard. Otherwise, the daughter of such a family Just being Li Yue's concubine can also stabilize Li Yue's position among the Yue people.In Li Zhi's view, although Li Yue has opened up the situation in Fujian and Yue, in the final analysis, he still uses profit to lure people, but Yue people may not be so loyal. Benefits alone are not reliable, and you have to deter them. ability.But the problem is, even if Li Yue established a mansion in Minyue, he didn't really have many soldiers. He was still those guards, and he even sent some of those guards to go fishing at sea. Li Zhi simply didn't know what to say.Without enough force in hand, if those Yue people had any bad intentions, Li Yue didn't even have the ability to resist. After all, this is still on their territory!

However, Li Zhi obviously would not tell Li Yue and Princess Xincheng directly about these thoughts. After he made a joke, Li Yue could only honestly say: "My brother has never met any Yue woman, and my brother is not very old. , don’t worry about it!”

Princess Xincheng was eager to divert her attention before, so she mentioned Li Yue, but soon she realized that something was wrong. She didn't want to remarry at first, but a lot of people forced her to marry. Unhappy, it turned out that this matter happened to her, and she couldn't bear to do such a thing, so she hurriedly remedied it at this moment: "What Shiwulang said is that he is still young now, Indeed, there is no need to worry! Brother Huang, after I went to Quanzhou this time, I realized that Lingnan is not a poor mountain, on the contrary, the scenery is quite beautiful, especially the garden built by Shiwulang himself, it is really beautiful , if Fifteenth Lang is not going back to Lingnan soon, I would like to ask Fifteenth Lang to help build a garden for me too!" Speaking of which, she really felt a little regretful.For Princess Xincheng, she is neither short of money nor has many other hobbies. All she needs is to satisfy her own preferences.It is inevitable for the royal family to pay for palaces and gardens from the national treasury and impose labor, which is a waste of money. As a princess, even if she wants to build a garden, she has to pay for it herself, so she is not under any pressure.

Li Zhi suddenly became interested: "Oh, Shiwulang still has this kind of talent? I haven't seen it yet!"

Princess Xincheng volunteered and said: "If you don't dislike it, I can draw it and show it to you later!"

Li Zhi agreed with great interest, and while he was talking, a servant came over there: "Saint, your ladyship sent a servant to pass the word, saying that it is a rare family reunion, and she is hosting a banquet in the Wanchun Palace to honor the princess." Take the wind and wash away the dust with His Highness!"

Li Zhi laughed and said, "Okay, go tell your empress, and just say that I will take them there right away!"
