Datang: Beat Tang Taizong violently at the beginning

Chapter 515 Boss Li
Carrying these bags of locusts back to Luoyang City, just in time for the last wave of porridge. After drinking a bowl of porridge, he regained his strength a little. Old man Liu sold all the bags of locusts he caught today.
The catch today was a little more than yesterday, and a full 45 Wen was exchanged. Old man Liu was very shrewd, and he exchanged the 45 Wen for six catties and four taels of noodles!
Although King Yan sells grain, there is still a difference between the price of rice and the price of grain. The price of rice is eight Wen a catty, and the price of noodles is seven Wen a catty. Under the same circumstances, it is of course more cost-effective to buy noodles!

What's more, the king of Yan gave porridge every day, and what they ate was rice. If they bought rice again, they would cook porridge at most, and they might not even be willing to cook a thick porridge that can stand up to chopsticks like His Highness King Yan. So it is more cost-effective to buy noodles.

Because of King Yan's disaster relief, the people in Luoyang and the counties near Luoyang finally had a way to survive.

However, in Luoyang City, the Wang family, the Qian family, and the Song family are secretly plotting a plan against King Yan!

At the same time, Yangzhou is thousands of miles away!

Yangzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, with convenient water and land transportation and rich products. It can be said to be extremely prosperous. It is one of the best big cities in the Tang Dynasty except Chang'an and Luoyang, which used to be the imperial capital.

Even after a hundred years, even Luoyang in Chang'an will not be as prosperous as Yangzhou.

At that time, there will still be a saying in the world.

In other words, Yangzhou and Yizhou had become the most prosperous and prosperous prefectures and counties in the world at that time!
Yangzhou is not as dangerous as Chang'an, and it does not have the endless plains of thousands of miles like Luoyang, but Yangzhou traders are well-known all over the world.

It is precisely because of these Yangzhou traders that Yangzhou's economy can be so prosperous.

Moreover, Yangzhou people's acceptance of new things can be said to be the highest in the entire Tang Dynasty.

No, in the past few days, there is another new food that has swept the entire city of Yangzhou!

In the restaurants of all sizes in Yangzhou City, almost at the same time, they launched a famous dish. This dish is golden in color and has an attractive aroma. Although the appearance is not good, the taste is absolutely amazing!

The locust plagues in the Tang Dynasty now mainly occurred in the Three Ways, which is the plain area of ​​the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and Yangzhou is already in the Yangtze River Basin, so it is naturally impossible for the locusts to fly to Yangzhou across thousands of rivers and mountains, and bring these locusts to Yangzhou. , Naturally, it is Li Mo's backhand, the twenty Huizhou merchant elites!

There is only one task Li Mo gave these [-] Anhui business elites, and that is to push the fried locusts to the southern region, and it must be pushed to the southern region completely. The big cities of Yangzhou and Yizhou must not be let go.

After all, although the locusts are edible, in Li Mo's impression, the people in the south like to eat these things more than the people in the north. The promotion of fried locusts should be smoother in the south.
Moreover, now that there is a severe drought and catastrophe in the north, taxes cannot be collected, and ordinary people have problems eating. Even if they want to promote fried locusts, it is impossible.
However, if you promote fried locusts in the southern region, it will not be a problem. Except for the difficulty in transportation, everything else should be flat. After all, this kind of money-making business is not for nothing!

The promotion of fried locusts has caused an upsurge in Yangzhou and other places, which naturally attracted the attention of these Yangzhou traders.

After all, when it comes to doing business, Yangzhou people are still very talented. Fried locusts are such a big business opportunity, and now they have spread all over the southern region. How could these Yangzhou traders not notice it?

It’s just that the business of frying locusts is different from other businesses. If you want to promote fried locusts in the southern region, there is a problem that needs to be solved first, that is, you must first have locusts, and then no matter what you make the locusts, This is how to make money,
And there must be a super large number of locusts, because the profit of fried locusts is based on the premise of small profits but quick turnover. Of course, if one serving of fried locusts is simply calculated according to the profit ratio, it will definitely make a lot of money, but the unit price It is relatively low, so it is still taking the path of small profits but high sales. After all, the more you sell, the more you earn, but this presents another very critical problem. These Yangzhou vendors want to make fried locusts, but they There are no locust raw materials on hand!

Locusts are not weeds on the edge of the field, just find two people to cut them.

What's more, even if it's the weeds on the edge of the ground, if you want to make a business of frying locusts, it's not something that can be done by just finding two people to cut the grass casually. However, these Yangzhou traders were extremely embarrassed to find that they did not have any locust channels in their hands!

And if there is no locust channel, how can they make fried locusts, but if they don’t do the business of fried locusts, such a big business is placed in front of their eyes, which is indeed very greedy.
At this time, Li Mo had already arranged the foreshadowing, and the twenty Huizhou merchant elites played a great role at this time. These Yangzhou merchants wanted to find the source of locust raw materials, and these Huizhou merchant elites arranged by Li Mo It just so happens that Datang now has the largest, most complete and most complete source of locust raw materials!
Yangzhou Tianxianglou, this is the most luxurious and luxurious restaurant in Yangzhou. It can be said that the people who can come to Tianxianglou to eat are definitely either rich or expensive.

But today's Tianxiang Building is not open to the public. The huge Tianxiang Building can be said to be making money every day. I don't know how much money it will lose if it is opened for one day. But even so, the boss of Tianxiang Building, Boss Yang, did not hesitate. Closing down Tianxiang Tower for one day is certainly not a shutdown. In fact, Tianxiang Tower is full of guests at the moment.

And those who can enter Tianxiang Building at this time are all big merchants in Yangzhou, even the whole southern region. Even the boss Yang, who is known as the most expensive upstart in Yangzhou, can only be regarded as one of the top merchants among these big merchants. It's nothing special, just some names!

"Haha, Boss Li, come on, Mr. Yang will introduce you, this is Boss Song from Yizhou, this is Boss Chen from Wuzhou, this is from..."

Boss Yang kept introducing Li Yifeng, but it was a pity that Li Yifeng's face was extremely indifferent, without any expression.

On the contrary, Boss Yang, who looked enthusiastic, seemed a little embarrassed. If someone dared to throw face at Boss Yang like this in the past, he would have turned back long ago, but not today, even though Li Yifeng's face was as cold as ice, But Boss Yang's face was still as enthusiastic as fire, without any change at all.
