Chapter 193 Swallows fly south and salt is born

Li Wei's idea was not very correct. Pei Xingjian has not yet reached the nobleness of history. There are some other famous generals, but they are not as powerful as Pei Xingjian. It is true that only Pei Xingjian and Liu Rengui. The Tang Dynasty often rebelled from south to north, Nanzhao and Lingnan. Tubo, Turkic, ***, and the Tang Dynasty was in danger.

It was not cold yet, but when the wind blew, some cold air came to the point.

Some swallows started flying south, but the swallows in the East Palace did not move at all.

Liu Qun watched more than a dozen swallows flying around the heads of everyone, and was a little worried, asking, "Your Highness, what should I do?"

"From today, don't feed them anymore, it's good for them."

"As soon as I go, I don't know how many swallows can fly back." Bier said worriedly.

"This is an inevitable law of biological evolution..." Li Wei stopped here and said it was useless. Maybe someone could understand it.

"Your Highness, why not do this? Let Ying'er catch them all and let them spend the winter in the East Palace?"

It doesn’t take much to raise more than twenty swallows, but Li Wei shook his head and said, “That’s not possible. This year there are more than twenty swallows. How many will there be next year? What’s the year after that? There will be thousands of swallows in the East Palace, where can I dig so many insect pupas?”

Even if you can dig, ministers will also make suggestions and make them upset.

Li Wei continued: "If they haven't moved south for a few years, they have forgotten their instincts. They won't be able to manage them well, and they will only freeze to death, which is not beneficial to them. Just like teaching children, if they are too spoiled, they may not be able to produce filial sons. Let's just stand it up."

So the Eastern Palace began to reduce the food given to the swallows. These swallows flew around the heads of the people every day to ask for it, pitiful. After more than ten days of slaughter, the swallows began to look for food on their own, and then all flew away quietly one night.

Everyone in the Eastern Palace was silent.

Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Li Wei took Bier, Wan'er and Wei Yue to Di Renjie's house to relax.

When Di Renjie arrived in Chang'an, he had to buy another house. Because of his financial difficulties, he was far from the imperial city. He had to get up very early every morning and could not go back very late at night. Li Wei had some complaints and said why not use the money? Di Renjie said that the money should not be used for him when he was used.

Li Wei could not convince him, so he had to let him. Di Renjie was not there, and Di Hui and Di Hao also moved from Luoyang to Chang'an. Chang'an knew more people and really didn't even dare to leave.

The two girls were very happy to see the prince coming.

Li Wei felt very guilty. This was really unfair to them. The reason why he worked so hard was that he was the crown prince. But what about his own crown prince...

After thinking about it for a while, Di Hao had already brought the tea, then looked at Bier and said, "Why does Liangyuan look bad?"

He said the swallows again and said worriedly: "They are all spoiled. Now Nanfei is flying, I really worry about them."

Di Hao said, "I have heard of it, there are dozens of families who can't fly away, and the people in the family are frowning."

Li Wei pinched his nose. The reason for this was that he committed a crime. However, Bier's heart was too soft. He met himself. If it were someone else, he would have ascended the throne by chance. Such a personality would not survive in the palace.

But I feel even more regretful of this kind little girl.

Di Hao said again: "It's just right that the palace is coming down. I and Sister Hui sewed a robe for Your Highness. The autumn is getting deeper, and Your Highness is going to change your autumn clothes."

"No need, you sew a lot of clothes for me, so I'll sew some for myself."

"Miss Hui, good lady, can you teach me the job of embroidering red?"

"Liangyuan, you don't have to serve Your Highness. Not only Xiuhong, but also others. I am very envious..." But looking at Li Wei's eyes are soft and pitiful. The prince is a good prince, which has never been seen in history. Before he succeeded to the throne, the people began to enjoy happiness. He also had so much knowledge. But the prince is not very happy. None of the women he likes can enter the palace except for the little Liangyuan in front of him. As for the daughter of the Pei family, the prince became indifferent because of Pei Yan's affairs.

It is difficult to find perfect things in the world. It is the emperor who is in power alone, but his health is not good, his eyes are not good, and he is not satisfied...

After sitting for a while, Wei Yue and Shangguan Wan'er couldn't sit still. Li Wei glanced at him and said, "Bi'er, take them to your house for a walk."

Bier, his father and two brothers both became small officials, moved out and moved to Yongningfang. The place was spacious and closer to the palace. However, it was not easy for Bier to go home to visit relatives, but he did not go back once. Hearing Li Wei's words, Bier was a little hesitant, and Li Wei said again: "Just go and take a look, come back immediately, don't be so arrogant, the officials don't speak much."

"Yeah," Bier left with two little loli.

Li Wei turned his head and said, "Now, you have some hard work."

"I don't know what I am and my good sister."

"I know that I can't come out when I'm locked up at home. I won't mention it anymore. It's mainly torture, and I have to wait." Li Wei said, thinking about whether to persuade his mother. The two girls were not greedy for status, but entered the Eastern Palace, and not many people knew their identities. If you seal Chenghui and Zhaoxun, there may not even be anyone who pays attention.

But now it is not possible. My father is not sure why, and he has been very angry with him. He only said one thing, Liu Rengui cannot go to Beijing, and his father immediately became furious and was so scared that he did not dare to speak anymore. Di Renjie was investigating, and Wang Cainian was investigating, but he did not get any clues.

Is my father really menopause?

"Your Highness, say this, you will kill us. In fact, you can come here often and see us, and you will feel very satisfied." Di Hui said. After all, your background is not very good, and they even made plans to be other people's concubines. It's just that it's not important to be a concubine. You have to be a good person. Don't just find an old businessman to marry like Guiyan, or a concubine... I never thought that I would have a handover with the prince in this life. As a modern person in his previous life, Li Wei couldn't see the problem for a while, but in their hearts, he was not anxious. Although his identity was properly placed by his adoptive father, he had been staying in brothels. This was not a story or idle story in the market, but it was a real life. How difficult it was to enter the Eastern Palace? The queen had been for many years, and even became a nun at one time. The queen didn't want to think about it anymore, but enduring was a must.

Li Wei was still unhappy.

The identity of this prince has not brought many benefits to him, but every step is difficult. Even the person he likes is not regarded as his wife, but is just a side room, which is still difficult. The best time for girls nowadays is only from the age of sixteen or seventeen to the early twenties. Not only do they have to endure, they can't even leave the door, which is too unfair to them.

When Di Hao saw that he was unhappy, he comforted him and said, "Your Highness, it's really okay. As long as your Highness has this heart, I will die immediately and be happy. But, you come."

He pulled Li Wei into the room and called Di Hui in again. Di Hui's face was red and walked into the room hesitantly. Di Hao closed the door and said, "Your Highness, when I was making clothes with Sister Hui, I saw that Your Highness liked him and sewed two more clothes. Your Highness, please take a look."

This time, there was a screen in the room. Two girls hid behind the screen to change their clothes. After a while, they walked out. They were wearing ladies' skirts. A few green lotus-colored ribbons floated down their shoulders, but their chests were very low and the skirt was extremely thin, and they appeared and disappeared from time to time. That day, the prince kissed their chests, which made the two girls shy and surprised. Although they were noble in character, the environment they grew up in was in brothels, and they heard and saw a lot. The prince was also human, and they probably liked this mood very much. But due to their personality, they were embarrassed to wear it for Li Wei to show it. But they only saw that the prince was unhappy and put it out.

Di Hao asked shyly: "Does Your Highness like it?"

"I am very lonely, I like it." Li Wei answered with difficulty. Then he walked over and hugged the two girls in his arms. This time he took a few big steps and took a lot of oil. He made him feel in a state of desire, and the two girls were also panting. After all, in his early twenties, there were feelings and desires. But he was afraid of getting out of fire, so he didn't dare to touch the final limit, which made him feel even more uncomfortable. He couldn't scream in his heart. At least he didn't dare to hug left and right in public in his previous life, let alone such a stunning girl. The two girls were also able to pick them, but they couldn't pick them...

All the crops are harvested.

Mainly beans. This year, people are encouraged to use rotation to cultivate beans. Of course, beans can accumulate fertilizer, but when they grow, they need fertilizer, and only nitrogen fertilizer is accumulated, which has nothing to do with fertilizers such as potassium and phosphorus. Therefore, beans do not grow very well. But when people see the various benefits of autumn harvest, they believe in them. There will be more people who plant beans next year. In fact, there are more people who plant purple cypresses. At least in Guanzhong, the common people who plant purple cypresses are very common.

It didn't immediately become too much food to eat. After all, this year is just a test, and the increase in yield is not obvious. If it wants to be obvious, it may take two or three years. It's just a sign that makes everyone full of hope.

There was a lot of joy, and another good news came.

Luma and Liang Jinzhu began to formally write a letter, and the salt was dried out for a long time before they were officially put into production. Once again, they took the initiative to ask the court to collect taxes. The cost of salt production was very low, so the court was required to collect a tax of ten cents per bucket of salt. The memorial was not well written, but it was very detailed, and even marked the cost. For large-scale production, each bucket of salt might only cost two or three cents. In addition, the 15 cents tax collected by the court, including freight, was only twenty-five cents. A bucket of salt was only twenty-five cents. A bucket of salt was 50 kilograms, and even the price of thirty-five cents was several times lower than the current salt price. Of course, the current output is still very low, but it can guarantee that more than 100,000 buckets of salt can be produced by the end of the year. This is a very conservative number, about one thousand tons. Not to mention the large salt fields purchased by the two, even the large salt fields purchased by the two were enough to ensure that the output was more than half.

This letter alarmed the court. A dou of fifteen cents is not much. But a hundred thousand dou is one million. It is not a lot for the court, only 1500,000 yuan, and in a year, it is more than 500,000 yuan, which is enough to be half of the income from the court's usury.

If added sugar.

This year, the scale of sugar production is large, and other merchants will also prepare salt drying in the future. The court will participate... That is not 50,000 yuan, but it may be 400,000 yuan. Of course, the account cannot be calculated like this. The court has some salt saps and salt lakes, and there are some benefits. The salt price falls, and the court will also suffer losses. Of course, when the salt is low, the salt will be used more. People need to use it for food, even livestock, and there are other uses, and they can even exchange some livestock for the Turks for fur. This account is not easy to calculate. But after roughly taking the account, almost all the ministers took a breath.

"Yi Shang," Dai Zhide sighed and said.

If you accept it and do not actively propose taxation, the court will have no choice. At most, when you pass the checkpoint, some officials will benefit. No matter what, in these two active taxation, Liang Jinzhu and Luma suffered countless losses.

Even the arrogant Li Jingxuan sighed: "In fact, with the merits of the two, they can really produce 50,000 buckets of salt every day and reward a few idle jobs."

Li Zhi just closed his eyes and was silent for a long time and said, "This letter of the Tao is correct, so he will draw a decree according to their wishes."

There was too much money, and the turn was not allowed to behave, and unlike other things, there was not much resistance. But after saying that, he waved his sleeves and said, "You guys go down."

He did not mention the reward, so he asked Dai Zhide and the others to retreat, and then said to the eunuch beside him: "Call the prince."

"Here," the eunuch stepped back.

Li Zhi was thinking in his heart whether it was time to have a good talk with his son. Li Wei didn't know, but Li Zhi knew that his affairs were more than Li Wei thought. It didn't matter if his son made sorghum, he made cotton for his wife to endure it, but he hid his head. These things might bring him tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of shreds every year. In addition to giving his wife tens of thousands of shreds, it was easy to understand that cotton was planted at that time, and it would cost him. Di Renjie would not be angry, but he needed to take care of him. As the prince, he also did it. This was not the reason for being angry, but what did he use for so much money left?
