Settle Down In Tang Dynasty - C494
The long sailing fleet has returned after more than half a year! Just in the early winter, if they don’t come back, they can only wait for next year. Fortunately, they are back!
Princess Pingyang went to Taizhou to meet her and held a banquet to celebrate the return of the fleet.
all the five ships came back safely, but their hands were damaged, some died of illness on the way, and some died of fighting with the local aborigines. However, the harvest was huge. In addition to the rice full of three cabins, there were also gold, precious stones and spices. In addition to rice, the harvest of gold, precious stones and spices has been many times higher than that of the materials put in at that time.
As calm as a princess Pingyang, after checking the harvest of this trip, she can’t help but look at it and say, “no wonder Youyang doesn’t pay attention to the flowers of tens of thousands of people. There is no need to worry about this harvest.”
Xue Lang also came to Taizhou in a low-key way. Wen Yan said: “compared with the investment, the profit is huge, but the risk is also huge. We have chosen the best candidates for this trip. Otherwise, we are afraid that the losses will be even greater. ”
Princess Pingyang nodded: “I will make people do a good pension for those who have lost their lives. I will certainly let those who serve me have no worries.”
Xue Lang agreed, and immediately talked about the biggest harvest of this trip: “compared with the harvest of gold, jewelry and spices, I think Zhancheng rice is the biggest harvest of this trip! The fleet came back before the cold winter, just in time to prepare for next year’s spring ploughing. According to the climate conditions in Wu, it is most appropriate to plant rice. When I choose and prepare the rice seeds, I can start the trial planting in spring next year. When I talk about the granary in the world, besides Guanzhong, it is the land of Wu! ”
This high spirited appearance made Princess Pingyang smile in her eyes. She held his hand and said, “before that, we must first turn what we have gained from this trip into our own use.”
Therefore, in the winter of the eighth year of Wude, Xue Lang was busy. He chose the most suitable rice for seed preservation from the rice he brought back, and the rest was pounded out. It made people cook – Princess
‘s highness was not used to steamed rice, and she drank some rice soup. Her royal highness grew up in the north and grew accustomed to pasta. The taste of the steamed rice was not very love. But the water slave baby is very face saving. The porridge made by rice for her can eat a small bowl!
Xue Lang steamed rice flour to see the princess of Pingyang, but she made rice flour, rice cakes, rice noodles, rice cakes and so on. The royal highness of the princess was much more refreshing than rice and not so resistant to rice products.
The grain has yet to be planted next year, but the things brought back can be disposed of before the new year. Soon it was Laba. Princess Pingyang picked some spices and jewels as festival gifts and sent them to Beijing.
“Why does Youyang stop making that soap?”
Asked Princess Pingyang by chance. Xue Lang thought of him, which was like a falling stone, without the slightest echo of soap. He was stunned for a moment and asked, “don’t you like it?”
“How do I come to a conclusion I don’t like?”
“When I sent you, I didn’t see you boasting. I thought you didn’t like it! When I was in weizeguan, I was too poor. I wanted to do soap business, but I gave it to you and Liu nuguan. You didn’t respond. I thought I couldn’t, so I gave up my mind and tried to make money again. ”
Thinking of the difficulties at that time, Xue Lang still had some regrets. Princess Pingyang gave him a look, and her expression was like a smile. She said angrily, “you are a man who gives us something close to our women. You are so bold not to say it, but also want us to give you the so-called feeling of using What an apprentice! Rude man
Xue Lang was said to be embarrassed, hastened to rule the way: “I don’t have any dirty mind, your highness misunderstood!”
Princess Pingyang snorted and said, “I know you don’t want to be dirty. Otherwise, you and I are not good friends!”
Xue Lang quickly made a surrender: “I was wrong! Your highness, there are a lot of them. Don’t talk about it. Please let go
His mouth is so stupid and pitiful that he can’t win a fight with his daughter-in-law. He tears silently in his heart. Xue Lang simply admits defeat! Then he asked, “so my soap is still unique?”
Princess Pingyang said, “from the Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, incense gradually became popular in the aristocratic families and gradually attracted people’s attention. The more well-known families are, the more secret the combination of incense techniques is. Every family has its own secret method. The pancreases are close to the body. They are more private. They are different from each other. The pancreases produced by your method are better than those I used before. After bathing, they feel more comfortable. It’s too late to sell such a good recipe. How can it be sold? It’s really an act of laughter and generosity! ”
This is the reason why we don’t understand the national conditions and people’s conditions!
Xue Lang was taught: “I understand! After that, I will make my own home, or send someone to you. When my daughter grows up, I will pass it on to her? ”
Pingyang princess said with a smile: “children can be taught!”
Xue Lang was speechless.
During the voyage, a lot of spices were brought back. From the perspective of Princess Pingyang, the best one was selected to stay, and the second was to be transported to Chang’an and sold in stores under her name. Almost all the officials and nobles of the Tang Dynasty gathered in Chang’an city. Near Yuanzheng, a lot of spices were suddenly sold, which naturally caused a sensation.In the palace of saints, Prince Donggong, Prince Qin’s house, Prince Qi’s house and Princess Tongan’s, Princess Pingyang is the best raw material. Peiyunzhao in Yuezhou and Zhao’s family in Taizhou are the finished products prepared by Princess Pingyang.
Spices are very resistant to storage as long as they are properly preserved. The spice market was originally a high-end market. In order not to cause impact on the market and maximize profits, Princess Pingyang followed Xue Lang’s advice and released only a small amount. The rest was stored and released slowly.
Some of the money from the sale was converted into grain and materials and transported back to Taizhou, and some of the money was used as the starting fund of the shipyard. Princess Pingyang used almost all her strength to find out where there was a good craftsman who could build a ship. However, she had to consider the location of the shipyard.
Princess Pingyang said, “it’s better to be in Taizhou. It’s convenient for me to take care of it. However, according to my recent investigation, Taizhou is not the most suitable place to build a wharf. ”
Xue Lang opened the map he had drawn and said, “build a shipyard. If you choose the location, I recommend it here.”
Princess Pingyang took a look: “island?”
“Yes, it’s the island! Just talking about the geographical location, you can see that it is not far from Hangzhou Bay. If a large ship is built on the south side of the Yangtze River Estuary, it will be very convenient to go north or south. If you look further away, you will not be far away from Japan. Even Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yuezhou and Western Zhejiang can’t match such a superior geographical location! The only drawback is that the land is vast and the population is sparse. If you want to do anything, you have to move people from outside. However, it would be appropriate to build a shipyard. ”
Princess Pingyang looked at it and said nothing.
The couple were still discussing about the construction of the shipyard, but the wind and clouds were surging outside.
