Tang's dining table

After the tempeh, green peppers, garlic cloves, and pork belly are mixed over the fire in the wok, it becomes a delicacy that Li Hong has never seen before.

The thin slices of meat were slightly curled by frying, and a pit appeared on each piece of meat. Some pits contained some grease, and some pits contained a grain of black soybean. No matter what, it was absorbed by its own texture. The fat-soaked pork is now fragrant.

When eating this, white rice is best, paired with a bowl of spinach, water chestnut, and egg drop soup to relieve the spiciness. There is no need to add anything else. Only in this way can you eat happily and comfortably.

The two of them ate a bucket of rice with this big bowl of chili twice-cooked pork.

When Yun Chu left, he said to Li Hong: "The purpose of coming here today is to tell you a truth. Don't forget to try something new at any time. Never dare to say that something is not good before you try it.

Today's Tang Dynasty people are beginning to become a bit atavistic.

Many people think that the Tang Dynasty is now invincible, so they can stick to the rules and regard the things currently in use as golden rules. Once any new things appear, these guys who want to keep their glory and wealth forever will automatically veto it.

They think this is a way to ensure that they can be kings for generations, but they don't know that a person or country that stops moving forward can easily be surpassed by those who continue to explore and seek new things.

The world is far wider than you think, so don’t take your current self too seriously. "

Li Hong saluted and said: "I heard from my father that the master seems to be unwilling to participate in the affairs of the court. Many times, the father hopes to hear the master's refreshing arguments. However, the master is always the same when he goes to court. Silent."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I don't have enough energy and ability, so I can only focus on some small things.

Wannian County already has a brand new state and county framework. What I have to do now is some terrazzo work to fill in the flesh and blood in these frameworks and make the entire Wannian County come alive instead of the current one. Secondary skeleton appearance. "

After Yun Chu finished speaking, he left, leaving no room for Li Hong to give any extra advice. The current political situation in the Tang Dynasty was very chaotic, with all kinds of messy forces intertwined. Some of them Yun Chu had read about in history, and some were... Unheard of, at this time, it's best to avoid it.

When he went home, he also brought back some green chili peppers. Naha liked it very much, but Yu Xiurong didn't like it. Cui took a few bites and said it was delicious. Fei Jiu thought it was on the same level as the braised pork head meat made in the big cafeteria. It's great with wine or rice.

The old monkey doesn't like chili peppers. He likes sweets. It can be seen that chili peppers are not liked by everyone.

In fact, chili peppers are not meant for dignitaries. Its existence is just to add a touch of brightness to the poor dining tables of ordinary people.

As Yunchu expected, the cotton in Wannian County didn't grow very well. No matter how hard the farmers tried to get rid of the insects, there were still a lot of them.

In order to prevent the insects from spreading uncontrollably, Wannian County took the approach of burning those cotton fields where insect infestations occurred.

Now, everyone in Wannian County knows one thing - it has become impossible to plant cotton again next year.

After planting cotton for five consecutive years, the Wannian County government office and the people of Wannian County have basically completed the initial capital accumulation.

It’s time to abandon cotton cultivation and switch to cotton processing.

Speaking of which, although growing cotton has four times the benefits, in the final analysis it still occupies almost all the farmland in Wannian County.

After all, in this era of the Tang Dynasty, farmland should grow food instead of growing too many cash crops.

During the years when Wannian County was vigorously planting cotton, Yunchu was actually betting heavily that there would not be a natural disaster that swept the entire Tang Dynasty.

By now, he had won the bet, and it was time to call it quits.

Governing a county is not as complicated as people think. When Yunchu visited a county in central Sichuan a long time ago, the beautiful office director said it when he introduced their county's economy to them.

The economy of their county is actually about fishing a little from the water, picking a little from the mountains, planting a little on the ground, and raising a little at home. These four aspects are the economy.

Therefore, their county is not a big economic county, but in that era of east wind blowing and war drums beating, relying on these four economic points, they actually took good care of the people in their county. Not to mention the simple folk customs, various The indicator data has been completed very well and is very solid, and the economy is moving forward step by step every year.

This is very rare for a county with six mountains, three rivers and one farmland. Although there is not much room for improvement every year, it is the envy of many counties. The reason is that this kind of development is sustainable. .

Wannian County's shortcoming before was that it had no money.

In fact, all the prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty had this problem. Even the counties attached to the capital like Wannian County had no money. You can only imagine what the other prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty were like.

Wannian County is now rich. Not only are there mountains of copper coins in the warehouse, but the Liucao warehouse under the county government is filled with all kinds of materials.

If Wannian County wants to become truly prosperous, in Yunchu's view, of course it must put industry first. No matter how good the farmland is, in this era when there is basically not much added value in agriculture, it cannot compete with the wealth created by industry. Comparable skills.

Therefore, Yunchu plans to reduce the total agricultural population in Wannian County through farming, centralization, and employment.

To achieve this step, we must first revitalize the workshops of all walks of life in the city. If they can be gathered together to form large business houses that are not dependent on wealthy families, only then can we achieve Yunchu's goal of reducing the entire agricultural population.

However, if a large trading house does not rely on wealthy families, there will be no room for its existence in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Yun Chu found a truly wealthy family for these big business houses - Prince Li Hong.

One of the biggest advantages of having Li Hong as the backend is that these trading houses will become nationalized unknowingly in the future.

As long as Li Hong can become emperor, then these trading firms that were originally under Li Hong's name can naturally enter the Shaofujian and become a huge consortium under the leadership of the Shaofujian.

By this time, the main function of these huge financial groups had shifted from making money to serving the world's stability.

Speaking of the merchants in the Tang Dynasty, it was really miserable. The court did not like merchants from the time of Taizong, and this is still the case today.

Ever since Yunchu became the Marquis of Lantian, if Yu Xiurong hadn't stopped him, at this moment, there would be countless merchants and disciples of the Yun family who would join him.

Now that Yunchu has found the towering tree of Li Hong for those merchants in Chang'an City who have no chance to find a backer, he doesn't need to say anything about the rest. The six Cao Cao from Wannian County and Chang'an County will naturally go down to unify Scattered merchants from all walks of life slowly formed small industrial alliances according to Yunchu's plan.

"There is a Bamboo Ware Trading Company, and that's just the Wooden Ware Trading Company. I really didn't expect that there would be a Yexiang Trading Company."

When Chang'an County Magistrate Wen Wen got the industrial alliance letter, even though he had strong psychological preparations, when he saw the name of Yexiang Trading Company, he couldn't help but scream.

Menghu Cao from Wannian County found a document from the thick pile of documents and handed it to Wen Wen with a smile.

Wen Wenwen picked up the document and read it for a while with disgust. At the end, she looked at Yun Chu in surprise and said, "Eight thousand dollars of business in one year?"

Yun Chu smiled and said nothing, then looked at Wen Wen for a moment and took a breath and said, "More than five thousand people, two thousand carts, and more than three thousand livestock?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "I am going to expand the scope of the night fragrance business here in Wannian County, and strive to allow them to form a big business with a scale of 20,000 yuan a year within two years."

Although Wen Wenwen is very smart, he is not an ignorant person. Even so, he still asked doubtfully: "Is it such a big business again?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "There is almost no possibility of bankruptcy in this business. As long as Chang'an City is here, this business will exist forever.

For a long time, many cities built by our ancestors were eventually destroyed not by wars or disasters, but by the filth and inability to live.

Our Chang'an City is pretty good, but even so, when you go to the West Market, in some hidden corners..."

Wen Wen retched and waved her hand to make Yun Chu stop talking.

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Our abilities are only so great. Good businesses have already been taken up by others. Therefore, we can only focus on businesses that others are unwilling or disdainful of, and in the end we will slowly erode their foundation." .”

Wen Wen smiled bitterly and said: "How to erode? Don't accept their night fragrance?"

Yunchu laughed and said: "It's not that you can't do this, but you have forgotten that we are the managers of Chang'an City, and we are the planners of this city.

Whichever area we want to become prosperous will immediately become prosperous; whichever area we want to decline will decline.

When doing business, you have to look at the overall environment. Even if 80% to 90% of the East Market and West Market have been occupied by wealthy families, as long as we are willing, new commercial markets like Jinchangfang will emerge one after another. .

Replacing the West Market with the East Market is easy. "

"What do you want to do?" Wen Wen asked curiously when she saw Yunchu's eyes sparkling.

"For example, I now want to gather the goods from all the small workshops in Chang'an City into a market and open a special trading place for sale!"

Wen Wen frowned and said, "Xi Shi already has such ability."

Yunchu said with a smile: "We sell them cheaper and have more choices."

"How cheap can it be?"

"I am prepared to earn only 10% profit on most goods, and on some goods that are regularly needed by the people, I will not make any profit, not even a penny."

After listening to Yunchu's explanation, Rourou nodded and said, "Losing money and making a profit is also a good choice."

Yun Chu said indifferently: "What we want to do is not to make money, but to re-plan the business map of Chang'an City."
