Chapter 839: Many Strange Items Brought to and From Overseas

The exchange voucher of 100 guan was directly stuffed into the woman's pocket. It seemed that she was the one who managed the money.

Li Longji and others entered the manor together and prepared to eat. They also needed to cook the dishes before, as there were many people.

"Wen Tian, ​​it's cold. I see if your hands are cold. Let me warm them for you." Li Yi went to pull Princess Yongmu's hand.

"Hmm!" Li Longji coughed, and Princess Yongmu dodged to the side.

"Third brother, do you have a sore throat? Let me take a look at you." Li Yi turned his head with a concerned look on his face.

"Much better." Li Longji said with a stern face.

The neighbors watched the group of people leave and surrounded a few bags.

"How to divide it? Everyone can't grab it." Someone was embarrassed.

"Whoever bought how much, give the same amount first. The rest, divide it by people, whoever has more family, give more, weigh it, put it on the scale, do you have a scale, pepper is expensive."

"Who is that? Li's daughter seems to be willing to stay with him."

"I guess he is not ordinary, look at the yamen runners, I have never seen yamen runners like that."

"It's illegal, the yamen runners don't catch people who abuse the law. The county magistrate doesn't care, and the county magistrate is also violating the law."

"But he is so powerful."

"Why care about those, the children at home go to school and eat well , learn quickly. "

"We have been tricked. If it weren't for that young man, we would have beaten them up."

"I think the black one tastes good too. It's good for cooking."

"Share it. Share it all. It won't kill people."

"How do you know it won't kill people?"

"The young man tasted it and wanted to buy more. If it can kill people, he bought it and poisoned it? He doesn't look like a murderer."

"Anyway, I know he has money. One hundred strings of cash, I'll give it away. If it were you, would you be willing to give it away?"

The neighbors chatted while discussing how to divide it. They were happy about the unexpected wealth.

Li Yi and others entered the yard and waited in the main hall.

Li Longji sat in the main seat, and Li Yi accompanied him.

Without waiting for others to ask, he took the initiative to say: "A kind of onion seed, different from green onions and shallots.

Like yam, a not particularly round onion grows underneath, so let's call it an onion.

I call it a round onion, spicy, and the top is similar to green onions and shallots, but with more fiber.

Before the bottom is fully mature, the top can temporarily replace the green onion.

After maturity, it is fine to feed livestock and chickens and ducks, but not too much.

When feeding, it can prevent some diseases of poultry and livestock. As long as they can be planted, they have made a contribution."

Li Yi was talking about onions, and the things the other party mixed in the pepper powder were onion seeds.

They should be people from overseas, selling pepper, who were cheated and could not quickly turn over their funds.

"They have no merit, and they didn't come here to send seeds." Li Longji disagreed.

If Li Yi didn't need the other party's things to benefit the country and the people, he should have arrested those people.

Li Yi said from another perspective: "They have overseas trade relations, so they can send things they don't recognize. I know."

"Yeah!" Li Longji nodded. It's normal for Li Yi to know things that others don't know.

"Is it easy to collect seeds?" Princess Yongmu personally brewed tea and sent it to ask. She wanted to know everything.

"It's similar to carrots and green onions. It can produce seeds in two years, to be precise, twenty-one to twenty-two months.

It can survive two winters, and the storage is similar to green onions. It doesn't use greenhouses, and it can survive if it is planted outside normally. It is a wintering crop.

Oh, carrots can't survive the winter normally in the north, so I sent seeds out this year.

When the time comes, plant them in the south, and get seeds every other year, and then send them back to eat a season of outdoor carrots."

Li Yi said onions, he didn't like to eat them, or to be more precise, he was hurt by them.

When he was in elementary school, he had lunch at school.

In order to save money, the school basically stewed chicken racks with potatoes and onions.

Who can stand eating the same thing every day?

The magical thing is that later potatoes can still be eaten, chicken racks can also be eaten, but onions can't.

Only when you are older can you eat it occasionally.

"Oh, this onion is also a medicine. It is written in the medical book. It is just right to see the real thing and use it." Li Yi added.

The chef arranged by the Li family farm to teach came over.

"Boss, there are four dishes now. There are many people. Will the farm send any dishes?" A chef asked directly.

"There is mutton soup. Are all four dishes ready?" Li Yi looked at his people.

"Two dishes have been made. The other two will be put into the pot at any time. They are cut." Another chef replied.

"Make it in the evening. There are many things in the mutton soup. It can't be eaten after it is made." Li Yi stopped.

"Let's go back and soak the cabbage slices in water, and the yam must also be soaked." The chef understood.

The woman outside was anxious. She didn't want to eat. She had to take someone back to get the things immediately, otherwise she would always be afraid.

Someone accompanied her away and it was estimated that she would not be able to come back until tomorrow morning.

They chose to go to the edge of Chang'an City, and then sell all the way back. When they walked back, they quickly packed up and ran away.

Instead of selling all the way to Chang'an, if others found out, they would be blocked.

Quite smart, but unfortunately bad luck.

The mutton soup was delivered, along with two large iron pots, and I didn't plan to take it back.

One pot contained mutton bones with meat, and the other pot contained mutton offal. A layer of mutton fat floated on the soup in both pots to keep it warm.

By the way, I brought an alcohol stove and a small iron pot with a rack, filled a small pot, and placed it on the fire to heat it while eating.

"After we finish eating and have a good rest, ask them which line they are in contact with. If possible, ask them to help sell things."

Li Yi boiled a bunch of white wine, took a bite of the bean curd in the stir-fried bean curd with meat, and began to plan the business.

Like Yu Huaide and others, Li Yi wanted to sell soap, soap, and small glass mirrors.

Li Longji scooped things with a small bowl, scooped a small half bowl of mutton offal and mutton, added a little soup, and did not add any seasonings, and tasted the soup first.

"Not bad, fed with green grass, I like this smell." Li Longji praised the mutton soup.

Li Yi didn't like it, he smiled and said: "This time it's sheep, next time it's goat, goat tastes strong."

"Overseas trade is difficult to control. When people go out, their hearts are wild. When they trade between countries, they have no country in their hearts."

Li Longji was worried that the merchants who went out to sea could not be managed well. The more people came into contact with other places, the more they would despise the imperial power.

Li Yi nodded gently to show his approval, it was indeed the case.

During the Ming Dynasty, overseas trade was allowed before, but later it was found that there were many immigrants, and those people did not obey the Ming Dynasty's discipline, so civilians were not allowed to go out to sea.

Especially those coastal people who could contact Japan to make profits together.

"It will be fine after the navy rises. The navy serves politics. When they are needed to maintain trade, they maintain trade.

When they are needed to deter other countries, they deter other countries. Even if there are people going out to sea to colonize, the navy can still control them.

Problems will arise only when the court makes wrong decisions and the country is weak. Otherwise, they go out and their hearts are towards the Tang Dynasty."

Li Yi hopes that the people of the Tang Dynasty will colonize abroad. He has a way to manage them. If they don't obey, he will turn around and deal with the Tang Dynasty and destroy it.
