Chapter 839: Xuanba Go to Weinan for a Tour!(1/2)
Chapter 839 Xuanba, let’s go to Weinan!
"It's not an exaggeration to reply to Master, not at all!"
Li Chengqian nodded quickly and said.
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
"Actually, that's fine! After the people in Weinan County learn how to do it, their farmland will produce more, and they can also make money from the chickens and hogs they raise at home.
The reputation of the people in Weinan County will spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and people from other states and counties will ask them to teach them this knowledge. Then they can also use this excuse to collect tuition fees!
Maybe they can earn even more!"
"Also, Gao Ming, you have to remember that every favor is worth a pound! Sometimes, giving them free things is not necessarily a good thing!"
"It's Master, Gao Ming remembers it!"
Li Chengqian responded quickly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"What else can you do?"
Feeling that nothing happened to Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others, Li Xuan began to have thoughts of chasing people away.
"Return to Master, I have nothing else to do with you!"
Li Chengqian replied.
Wang Xuance, Fang Yizhi and others on the side also shook their heads quickly.
They really have nothing else to do right now!
"In this case, you will quickly return to the city to meet your parents and fulfill your filial piety!" Li Xuan said.
"Yes, Master!"
Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others heard this and quickly responded solemnly.
They had been away from home for two months and had never returned to Chang'an City. Li Xuan didn't say anything, but they still didn't feel much.
Now, when Li Xuan said this, they all felt eager to go home.
Afterwards, everyone bid farewell to Li Xuan and went to Chang'an City.
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others had already received the news when Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and others returned to Chang'an City.
Therefore, just when Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and others returned home, they found that their respective Aye and Aniang were waiting for them.
Spent a day at home.
Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and others then headed for Weinan County with a group of guard servants.
At the same time, they also brought dozens of old farmers from their respective farms, some sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn seedlings and seeds, as well as several large carts of glass.
…
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the entire Tang Dynasty has begun to enter the harsh winter season.
Lijiazhuang built another 16,000 acres of glass greenhouses, including 3,000 acres of peppers, 2,000 acres of tomatoes, 2,000 acres of sweet potatoes, 2,000 acres of potatoes, and 1,000 acres of corn.
The remaining 6,000 acres are used to grow various vegetables.
In Chang'an City, Luoyang, Qingzhou City, Liangzhou City... dozens of large cities in the Tang Dynasty, one or several hot pot restaurants were opened.
The dignitaries and aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty have finally experienced the delicious taste of chili!
Lijiazhuang!
After Li Xuan was at leisure for more than ten days, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others came again.
"I have met His Majesty!"
"I have met His Royal Highness the King of Jin!"
After greeting each other, Li Xuan looked at Li Shimin.
"It's such a cold weather, why did your Majesty come to Lijiazhuang?"
"Xuanba, one hundred thousand banknotes have been printed, and I have sent you banknotes!"
Li Shimin said with a smile on his face.
At the same time, Li Wei on the side quickly placed a small wooden box in his arms carefully on the coffee table in front of Li Xuan.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing this, Li Xuan looked overjoyed and shouted to Li Chang who was waiting at the side.
"Butler, please bring hot tea to your Majesty quickly, and all kinds of fruits and snacks in the house to your Majesty quickly!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Chang responded respectfully and walked out quickly.
Although after Li Shimin and others entered the gate of the other courtyard, he had already ordered his servants to prepare hot tea and everyone had fruits and snacks.
However, his king specifically told him again that Li Chang would do it even if it was just a pretense!
Seeing how Li Xuan's expression changed so quickly after seeing the small wooden box, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't help but be stunned, and then their faces became strange.
Li Xuan ignored these. After giving Li Chang instructions, he directly held the small wooden box in front of him.
Then open the small wooden box directly!
Sure enough, there was a stack of exquisite banknotes lying inside the wooden box.
The numerical serial number of each banknote is two or six!
If in future generations, he would be able to get these serial number banknotes and wake up laughing in the middle of the night!
However, if this kind of paper money can be preserved to future generations, it will also be a national treasure-level antique!
Thinking about it, Li Xuan picked up the banknotes one by one, looked at them one by one, and then put them back!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Haha, Xuanba is so polite. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have these banknotes!"
Li Shimin smiled lightly.
By chance, Li Chang had already walked in personally with a team of maids, carrying cups of fragrant hot tea and plates of fragrant fruits.
Li Xuan directly reached for the hot tea and took a sip.
"Butler, I will ask the orchestra to make glass boxes for you in a while. I will put these banknotes in them and keep them!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Chang glanced at the pile of exquisite banknotes in amazement and replied quickly.
Li Xuan continued: "In addition, you go and get another ten kilograms of gold, which I will exchange for these banknotes from your majesty!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Chang responded.
However, Li Shimin on the side looked unhappy.
"Xuanba, what do you mean? This king only gave you a few banknotes, but you actually want to give me money?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Li Xuan smiled lightly and explained with a serious face: "Your Majesty, I have already agreed before that I want to exchange banknotes, so I cannot deceive you!"
"In addition, these banknotes should be the money of the bank. If I want to take them away, I naturally have to give the bank copper coins or gold and silver to exchange them. Moreover, it is not His Majesty's bank. I can't trap Your Majesty just because of a few banknotes.
and among the unjust!"
Li Shimin nodded slightly, agreeing with Li Xuan's statement.
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling on the side looked embarrassed.
When they took away the banknotes, they only focused on taking the banknotes, but they never thought about this!
Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others did not care about the shame and quickly stood up to plead guilty.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will give you thousands of coins immediately after I return!"
It's not that they don't want to offer gold, it's that even though they are nobles, they don't have much gold in their houses.
As for silver, they are somewhat reluctant to part with it.
Anyway, the money they donated will definitely end up either in the treasury or in the bank.
"No problem!"
Li Shimin shook his head indifferently.
It's just a few thousand dollars, and they're all his closest ministers, so he's still willing to give it up!
"Your Majesty, please accept it!"
"Exactly, Your Majesty, please accept it!"
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji quickly pleaded.
Give them a hundred courages, and they won't dare to owe His Majesty any money!
Li Xuan also said: "Your Majesty, if this money can be collected in a fair and just manner, or even accepted in public, the effect will be even greater!"
"Um?"
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were stunned and looked at Li Xuan with doubts on their faces, wondering what kind of medicine Li Xuan was selling in his gourd!
Seeing this, Li Xuan smiled faintly and explained: "Your Majesty, if all the dignitaries in the world knew that I and all the princes and prime ministers of the current dynasty were rushing to find your Majesty to exchange banknotes, they would naturally be very curious.
And as long as they are curious, they will definitely investigate the matter further.
To be continued...
