I engaged in modernization in ancient times

Chapter 81 Rice and Beiliang Roast Duck

The small white bottle was opened.

At first, everyone didn't feel much.

But after a while, a strange dark fragrance flowed through the tip of his nose.

If there is nothing, it seems real and illusion.

It makes people feel like they are constantly looking for it.

Mo Shaoheng said, "This is perfume, and there are several kinds of fragrances."

"As for its usefulness, I believe I don't need to introduce it."

"All I can say is that the taste, when stored properly, can last for years."

Everyone: "..."

It turned out that the recent rumors in the market turned out to be true.

This precious little white bottle is now in front of their eyes.

Even the eyes of the nobles in Beiliang lit up. I heard that this little white bottle is only available to Zhao Yanqiu, Tianfei, the eldest princess, and Mo Shaoheng's mother, Mrs. Yong'an.

Even Queen Wang mentioned it several times in an indirect way, but Mo Shaoheng didn't have the foresight to send a bottle.

It can be seen how rare this small white bottle is.

If there is such a bottle, it is estimated that it will steal the limelight in your circle, it is really itchy.

Among the distinguished guests invited today, apart from businessmen, there are actually some noble ladies from Beiliang.

At the beginning, everyone was still wondering whether it was a bit weird to invite these ladies to a business transaction event.

Now it seemed that they understood what Mo Shaoheng meant.

The attraction of good wine to men and martial arts practitioners has reached an indescribable level.

Then perfume is the same for these noble ladies, even more crazy than men's desire for fine wine.

It is natural for women to love beauty, or in other words, everyone has a love for beauty, and it is precisely because of a love for beauty that human beings can dress properly, behave properly, and treat others with courtesy.

Mo Shaoheng said, "If you are interested in the little white bottle, you can go to the booth opposite to negotiate."

As for the price, Mo Shaoheng didn't say it directly, because he was still taking the route of luxury goods. If the main customers were not businessmen from various countries, the sage would probably be ashamed when he saw the price.

A paragon of beaten luxury.

The endorser of the perfume is Fan Shen.

Looking at Fan Shen's delicate and contrived appearance, Zhao Jingcheng kept muttering, "It's done, it's done, it's done by Fan Shen."

Fan Shen usually hates him too much, but at this time, he is with a talented scholar who is extremely educated and educated.

Mo Shaoheng began to introduce the remaining products.

Every time it appeared, it caused quite a stir.

For example, the collection version of books is so beautiful, it is definitely the best gift for respected readers, or for your own collection.

As a scholar, I'm afraid I can't resist such a temptation.

Another example is beautiful brocade cloth in various colors.

In Liangjing, girls from Zhenbei Palace often wear such clothes to some banquets, but they have never seen them in other places.

Therefore, it is conceivable how surprised the merchants were when such cloth appeared.

Then there is good and cheap paper, strange but useful pens and so on.

They suddenly discovered that everything seemed to make a fortune as long as they brought it home.

As for how to maximize value, as experienced businessmen, they naturally have criteria for judgment.

With Mo Shaoheng's introduction, the entire morning passed.

After the introduction, I drank a lot of water with dry mouth.

Although Mo Shaoheng's introduction was over, the sugar and wine fair had just begun, and it was very hot.

After all, when Mo Shaoheng introduced the products, they were all displayed on a high platform, and those who were close might still be able to see them clearly, but those who were far away were mostly listening to Mo Shaoheng's bragging, and had only seen roughly.

If you want a real experience, you need to go to the booth to inquire.

The liveliness of the scene is indescribable.

Mo Shaoheng said to Zhao Yanqiu, "How is it? It is only a part of businessmen from various countries who have heard the news. When the reputation of our unique products in Beiliang spreads, more businessmen will flock here .”

"The excitement at that time will not be comparable to what it is now."

Zhao Yanqiu and many officials from Beiliang beside him: "..."

They feel that it is already a rare and prosperous scene.

But what Mo Shaoheng said was not wrong. Right now, they are just businessmen who come to wait and see. Businessmen who really smell the smell of money will come in an endless stream.

This is just the beginning.

They are still very sure about whether other merchants will come, and they don't want to see how good their products are.

Even the spinning top that they thought no one would care about, there are merchants placing orders there. Sure enough, there is a market for everything, and different merchants have different judgments, let alone the best soap and soap, bacon and salted fish, etc. Many merchants lined up there.

Soap, now the people of Liangjing are used to washing clothes, saponins and so on are almost eliminated, but in other countries, they definitely still think it is a great new thing.

Looking at this scene and the prospect of the future, the officials all had smiles on their faces, and they became more interested in what Mo Shaoheng said before, the idea of ​​turning Liangjing into the world's business center.

It is too difficult to develop agriculture in Beiliang, unless a few more canals are built, but building a canal is enough to labor the labor force and mobilize the people, which makes people fear. History is a lesson from others.

At this time, someone came to tell Mo Shaoheng that several court painters had heard the news and said that they wanted to paint today's prosperous scene.

Mo Shaoheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, there are not too many painters missing in this sugar and wine fair.

The rest of the time is much easier, mainly to maintain order, and the rest can be done at the booth.

In the evening, the crowd was still burning.

However, the staff is exhausted. Even the students who are the models are numb to their feet, and they have to pretend to be a celebrity. Non-stop staff.

Mo Shaoheng looked at the sky, then walked up to the high platform, and said, "Everyone, it's getting late today, and the first Beiliang Sugar and Wine Conference is coming to an end."

"However, you don't have to worry. Although the sugar and wine conference is over, we have a special foreign trade team in Beiliang."

"If you don't choose the products to place an order today, you can still come to Dongshi to place orders in the future. The trade affairs team will open an office in Dongshi to showcase our Beiliang's special products and ensure fair trade."

It is true that there are still some people who have not made up their minds today, or have made up their minds, but the queue is too long and it is not their turn. Hearing this, they are also relieved.

There are too many products, it is really difficult to make a decision, this is good, there is enough time for them to calculate the profit.

Mo Shaoheng said, "Merchants who placed orders today, don't forget to collect your small gifts."

The small gift Mo Shaoheng mentioned was probably a gift from the Sugar and Wine Fair. It was a beautiful leather bag with two long ropes on it, and it was carried in his hand: "..."

It feels very novel, although it may not be worth much, but it is exquisite and beautiful.

It contains small commodities on site, a preserved egg, a salted egg and a spinning top.

There are not many things, but the meaning is very ordinary.

Although Mo Shaoheng announced the end of the exhibition and the staff began to tidy up the booths, the businessmen from all over the world were still thinking about it.

As businessmen, it was the first time for them to participate in such a huge business event.

It does feel very different.

They are all doing business, but the commercial atmosphere is too strong.

There is another advantage, and the businessman also sees it, that is... the price is transparent.

In the past, when you came to a new place and wanted to make an order, it took a lot of effort, because there were always people bullying them who were newcomers who didn't understand the market and asked for prices indiscriminately.

In order not to pay high prices, they have to work hard.

But it's different now. The price of this trade fair is the same for all merchants.

It saves a lot of effort for nothing, and the government directly guarantees the contract, which makes people feel more at ease.

That feeling is a purely commercial activity, with less intrigue.

Mo Shaoheng looked at the reluctant businessman, but didn't say anything. Anyway, there is no curfew in Liangjing, and they like to stay as long as they like.

However, I still said, "Everyone, many of you are new to Liangjing, right? Why don't you go to the streets lit up with lanterns at night? My unique food in Liangjing will definitely not disappoint you all."

"Even friends who have been in Liangjing for a while, you can go and have a look today. We just have a new dish on the shelves today, called Beiliang Roast Duck, which tastes very unique."

It was autumn, when the ducks were at their fattest, Mo Shaoheng made this very special dish.

I believe that these businessmen who have eaten it will definitely remember its taste.

Everyone: "..."

This Liangjing city is good.

They also probably understood what the Fifth Highness Zhao Yanqiu meant when he received them at the gate of the city.

Unprecedented night scene ah.

They were in a daze for a while. The prosperity of Liangjing City is much better than they imagined. There are people in line in front of you.

When I bought something, I carried the calfskin bag in my hand, and watched the game while eating. Every day was the same as when other countries spend their holidays.

Even at night, the bustle and prosperity continued.

It's just that after experiencing the hustle and bustle during the day, the family at night leisurely watching the lanterns and eating supper seems much more warm and peaceful.

Liangjing, in the eyes of these foreign businessmen, is a bit miraculous. Unlike the people of Liangjing, they watched how the current Liangjing became like this step by step, and came into contact with such Liangjing directly rashly. I believe Wherever they go in the future, they will publicize the Liangjing they see.

It remains to be seen what kind of existence Liangjing will become in the mouths of the world and what kind of reputation it will have.

The sugar and wine fair was over, and Zhao Di just came to pick Mo Shaoheng up.

Mo Shaoheng asked, "How long have you been here?"

Zhao Di: "Just for a while, just in time for the end."

Mo Shaoheng said, "What do you think, how does our Liangjing maintain this kind of business atmosphere?"

Zhao Di's eyes lit up, he knew what Mo Shaoheng meant, and he was still talking about Liangjing's business route.

But for those who have seen today's scene, I am afraid that the doubts and uncertainties in the past will be much less.

Mo Shaoheng gave Beiliang another possibility.

Nodded, "There is no difference at the moment."

I believe that even the capital of Nanli, which trades with the countries through silk, is nothing more than that.

If this prosperity can continue, the development of Liangjing is just around the corner.

These merchants who are here now have already promoted the development of Liangjing. Among other things, so many merchants have made the inn a fortune. These merchants must be full of curiosity when they first arrived in Liangjing. To experience the style of Liangjing, you will consume wherever you go.

Mo Shaoheng smiled, but Zhao Di could see it clearly.

The first phenomenon of prosperity is the gathering of people.

Mo Shaoheng didn't go back to Prince Yan's mansion directly, but...

Today's sugar and wine fair is a complete success, and we always have to celebrate.

I happened to take Zhao Jingcheng Nan's first-class students, as well as Zhao Yanqiu and Zhao Di, to Wuyi Lane to try their new dish today, Beiliang Roast Duck.

As soon as they entered the private room, Zhao Jingcheng and other students acted like deflated balls, "It's over, it's over, I can't pretend anymore, I'm exhausted."

There are too many people paying attention to them today, and they often hear what others say about the Sixteen Little Celebrities in Liangjing, which makes them dare not relax for a moment.

Even drinking saliva has to be artificial to death.

Mo Shaoheng looked at a group of students who had returned to their original form: "..."

Enjoy this vanity, when you grow up, and when you put on a show.

Zhao Jingcheng waited for a while, then went to surround Nanyi again.

Zhao Jingcheng covered his face with one hand, and poked Nan Yi with the other, "You... tell me what's going on with you honestly? You are more crazy than us on weekdays, why did you lose your inner energy?"

It was agreed to eat, drink and have fun together as a dude, but in the end you took off by yourself, let them put their faces where.

Could this be the difference between a genius and a mortal?

Nanxiao shook his head, "Let it be, and that's it."

Zhao Jingcheng and others: "..."

It's shocking, you just let it be and did nothing, but you say that, old Versailles.

But soon, a group of students turned their grief and anger into appetite.

The sliced ​​duck breast is dipped in a little sauce, wrapped in a thin pancake, rolled up, and put in the mouth to bite, which makes everyone's eyes brighten.

The duck breast is soft and tasty, and the taste is too good.

"This Beiliang Roast Duck is also delicious."

"This way of eating is also novel."

Mo Shaoheng smiled, he was planning to make Beiliang Roast Duck a special feature, the taste would be better naturally.

Now, a large number of ducks are being slaughtered in the ranch, which is the best time to eat duck meat. Once the reputation of Beiliang Roast Duck comes out, many ducks can be sold.

In addition, it is now autumn, and when winter comes and the New Year is approaching, it is also the most frequent time for people to buy duck and other meat products that are more expensive than pork.

So, don't worry about sales at all.

"There's also this duck skeleton, which doesn't have much meat, but it's really exciting to chew on."

Mo Shaoheng said, "Let's celebrate the complete success of our sugar and wine fair today."

A group of students: "..."

Oh, why does it sound so happy, there is no way, they are almost exhausted because of the sugar and wine fair today, so a complete success is worth it.

Mo Shaoheng continued, "Your family's paper factories, pen factories and printing factories in various places can also increase production. Judging from today's situation, my factories in Liangjing alone are not enough."

Because the needs of the people of Liangjing must be met first, and then the merchants of various countries should be considered. The consumption of the people of Liangjing is already high, and the remaining warehouses are not much.

In addition, businessmen from various countries will continue to come here one after another. It is true that factories in various places need to increase production to meet the follow-up demand.

A group of students laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths. "I heard from the steward in charge of the mansion that the current production can barely meet the local demand. If we want to sell to businessmen from various countries, we need to recruit more people and expand the land."

Mo Shaoheng nodded, "The factory recruits people, collects materials, etc., will form a stable industrial line, which will naturally drive the development of the local economy. This is a good thing for Beiliang."

Both Zhao Di and Zhao Yanqiu couldn't help but nodded, because they could see clearly. For example, Liangjing, because Mo Shaoheng's factory recruited too many workers, and the families in Liangjing began to have income. Now the people of Liangjing , Even the consumption intensity has risen to a higher level.

This is actually a natural phenomenon. When you have no money, you are naturally reluctant to spend money, but once you have money, you will unconsciously buy some things you like, and your quality of life will be improved.

Once the consumption starts, the money in the entire Liangjing City begins to circulate, and once the money circulates, it will become prosperous.

What Zhao Di and Zhao Yanqiu saw was the way to make Beiliang rich and prosperous. This is a very strange feeling, because the effect is visible to the naked eye.

I believe that the officials and saints in the court will also be touched. In theory, the more factories open and the wider the area covered, the richer Beiliang will be. Of course, the premise is that the products produced must have a market. But now... at least there is no need to worry about selling.

The aristocrats built factories to make themselves rich and at the same time drive the people to become rich, and the court naturally became rich by collecting taxes. It is not necessary to hold everyone’s property in the hands of the court. It is too difficult and unrealistic. There is a precedent of grabbing all the good things that make money.

The imperial court only needs to control the industries that affect the people's livelihood, so as not to shake the foundation. Besides, the most profitable silk is now in the hands of the royal family, and they don't need to envy other nobles at all.

After a dinner together, Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Di returned to Prince Yan's Mansion.

He didn't fall asleep directly either, because the steward submitted the commercial order signed at today's sugar and wine fair.

Mo Shaoheng happened to take a look, and after seeing it, he quickly covered the bill tightly.

Zhao Di: "What's wrong?"

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

He only said, "The merchants of all countries are really fat."

Zhao Di was a little puzzled, took a look at the ledger, and then lost his composure.

He knew that he would definitely make money this time, but he swallowed a mouthful of water when he looked at the profit amount sorted out on the ledger.

Mo Shaoheng was already laughing so happily, "Do you think I'm going to become a rich man soon?" Zhao Di: "..."

This little money junkie.

Their bills are naturally their own business, and the court's bills are probably sent to the saints.

Zhao Di felt that the sages should not be calm. After all, their own factories are limited, and many commodities have limited stocks after they are provided to the common people. However, the imperial court's salt is huge, and a change in quantity will inevitably lead to a change in quality.

At this time, the sage did get today's bill.

The sage also sent people to watch today's sugar and wine fair, and he probably knows how grand it is.

It's just that after opening the ledger, his eyes stopped at the profit and he didn't move for a while.

After coughing, he closed the account book, and pretended to say, "It's okay."

This is only one day's profit, and more businessmen from various countries will come in the future.

He finally understood the meaning of Mo Shaoheng's sentence "support me in Beiliang with the wealth of the world".

It turns out that business is so profitable.

The sages couldn't help sighing, the world can be peaceful, if there is a war, this business will definitely be affected, and there will be no way to continue, and it will cost a lot of money.

The saint moved his gaze to a memorial on the table.

This memorial is an excerpt from the ministers to let the sage establish a new crown prince as soon as possible.

After Zhao Lan was abolished, the crown prince's position was vacant, which was naturally not a problem.

There are also many suggestions from the ministers. Although they are cryptic, they also express some meaning.

For example, some people think that according to the rules, the youngest son of Queen Wang should be established as the new prince.

But some people think that Queen Wang's youngest son is too young, and I hope the saint will think twice.

Of course, although the establishment of the crown prince is related to the state, the sage still has the final say. As long as there is nothing wrong with the establishment of the prince who is not a celebrity, no matter how many opinions the ministers have, it will be useless.

But for some reason, the sage suppressed the scripture.

It seemed to be a little undecided, which also caused, except for Zhao Di, who was hindered by the marriage with Mo Shaoheng, and Zhao Yanqiu, who had no intention of taking the throne, the other princes were now fighting fiercely.

The saint naturally has his own considerations, and the ministers can't figure out the holy will.

On the other hand, Prince Yan's Mansion didn't have the slightest pressure in this regard, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Mo Shaoheng is busy with the sugar and wine fair, and now he is busy with the autumn harvest.

It is worth mentioning that Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Di paid off the money owed to the court in one lump sum.

In the past, many people were worried that Mo Shaoheng would not pay the money.

This year's autumn harvest is so different.

Because...Mo Shaoheng planted too much.

Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Di, who were originally flattered by the money they made, looked at the money they spent again like running water: "..."

Because Mo Shaoheng promised last year that if others help him grow sugar beets and soybeans, he will buy them all at market prices.

Others, plant a bit too much.

Mo Shaoheng felt a little embarrassed, "After the sale, we will be rich again."

Zhao Di: "..."

They closed the door and secretly counted the money last night.

The taste of affluence has not yet warmed up.

Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, it's true that it looks a little ugly on the books, but the warehouse is full.

Just with so many beets and soybeans, how much sugar and oil have to be produced is also money.

Besides, Mo Shaoheng had already gone to court with a basket of rice ears, so he had to find a little balance psychologically.

These rice paddies were produced by Mo Shaoheng and his students leading buffaloes to plow the fields and rolling up their trousers to transplant rice seedlings together, so Mo Shaoheng also brought fifteen students with him.

As for the significance of rice, I believe it is not an exaggeration to describe it as shocking the world.
