After deciding on a new sales strategy for specialty stores, Li Yan and Cui Yingying discussed and decided to publish the recruitment of agents of the Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, and to recruit for the Tang Dynasty. After more than half a year, the influence of the Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty has increased day by day. As long as it is a literati, the rich will buy every issue, and those who have no money will gather together to buy one and take a look. Learn about the latest policies of the court from this newspaper. Sometimes, Li Shimin would even record the contents of the court meetings and publish them in the business newspaper the next day. How tempting and tempting this is for literati and merchants, which is equivalent to indirectly participating in the government affairs.

For merchants, the importance of this newspaper is even more self-evident. Various product information and advertisements can be found on it. Wang Zheng, the editor-in-chief, has also changed from being ignored by anyone before, and has now become a hot figure in Chang'an. Countless merchants have been flattering, hoping to get priority for advertising rights in the Shengtang Business Daily.

The Business Daily of the Tang Dynasty has now established branches in the 15th wealthy prefectures of the Tang Dynasty, so the communication of information among branches has become a big problem. After thinking about it, Su Moer changed the way the Business Daily of the Tang Dynasty was conveyed to the delivery of carrier pigeons, which made it much more efficient. When Li Yan conveyed information to the Business Daily of the Chang'an, he used the pigeons from the newspaper.

The rest was left to Cui Yingying. Li Yan began to be busy with spring farming and the equipment of the institute. He checked the crops that could be planted in March, thought about it and decided to plant potatoes, sugarcane, peanuts and purple potatoes. Cotton would not be planted until May, which was also the season for winter wheat harvest.

Li Yan has his own considerations when choosing these types of planting. Needless to say, potatoes and purple potatoes are high-yield crops with a yield of 10,000 jin per mu, and a powerful tool to save famine. Sugarcane is the raw material for white sugar. Of course, peanuts are the best for producing vegetable oil, let alone cotton, and cotton cloth is counted on it.

Of course, in addition to the crops brought by Li Yan from the 21st century, Yizhou also has original local agricultural cultivation, such as tea and mulberry, which are famous in Yizhou. For this year's tea, Li Yan decided to introduce tea stir-frying technology to change the strange atmosphere of drinking tea in the Tang Dynasty. As for mulberry, Li Yan encouraged it. Shu Jin is now a high-end consumer product of the Tang Dynasty.

Back at the villa on the isolated island, Li Yan called Xia Yan. Li Yan now has his own grain and vegetable base, so he doesn't have to worry about buying these things. He went over with a call and told her the number of seedlings and seeds, and just asked her to prepare them. The same is true for steam engines and small blast furnaces. The steel and machinery factories under his jurisdiction are all ready-made, and there is no reason not to use them.

In addition to these things that Xia Yan did, Li Yan went to the hardware store to sweep it up, bought a few sets of tools he could buy, and prepared to move them back to the research institute, and even bought some equipment for chemical and physical experiments, which were used sooner or later.

After a few days of busyness, Li Yan transported the tools he purchased back to the research institute. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a "boom", and then a cheer sounded from the test site in the west. Li Yan listened carefully. Isn't that the test site of the flintlock research team?

Just as he was thinking, many people rushed out of the room of the institute and surrounded him. Tong Yu also walked out and saw Li Yan, and immediately came over to salute.

Li Yan looked happy and said, "Let's go and take a look. It may be that the black flame has been successfully studied."

Tong Yu responded and followed Li Yan to the test site. At this time, there were already many people surrounding the test site. Such a huge movement attracted many craftsmen.

Seeing Li Yan coming, all the craftsmen dispersed. A man dressed in a Taoist priest was squatting on the ground to check the broken bamboo pieces, smiling, as if he was very satisfied with the explosion.

"Guo Xianyuan, has the gunpowder research been successful?" Li Yan walked over and asked.

Guo Xianyuan stood up and said, "Your Highness, you have developed the materials and ratios you mentioned." As he said that, he took out another bamboo stick, which was what exploded just now. Guo Xianyuan drilled a hole in the middle of the firecrackers, then poured the flames into it and ignited it, which caused the violent explosion just now. "There is another one, please take a look at it!"

Guo Xianyuan is an alchemist in the local Taoist temple in Yizhou. When Li Yan was recruiting strange people in Yizhou, he took the initiative to sign up with Tong Yu. According to him, the current mountain fire order Yuan Tiangang is from the same Taoist temple, but he has specialized in his skills. Yuan Tiangang is proficient in physiognomy, and he is proficient in alchemy. When he saw Li Yan, he took out a few black "golden elixirs" for Li Yan to taste.

When the Tang Dynasty believed in Taoism, many people were obsessed with Taoism. Even Li Shimin, a hero, was no exception. In his later years, his health was getting worse and worse, because he took these elixirs and died in the end.

Li Yan naturally understood what Guo Xianyuan was thinking, just to be a visitor to the royal palace, but Li Yan was not a fool. He went to eat the pill rich in harmful elements, and he had the urge to pull this guy out and chop it up.

Li Xian was indifferent to the pills, and Guo Xianyuan changed his tricks again, saying that he was performing magic for Li Xian to see. Then, Guo Xianyuan took out a ball of black powder and placed it on the ground. He held a piece of yellow paper in his hand and recited the spell for a long time. Then he lit the yellow paper and threw it on the powder. A flame immediately burned. At that time, Li Xian's guards were shocked and hurriedly protected Li Xian.

Others don’t know what this is, can Li Yan not know? Guo Xianyuan, who played this trick with him, was thrown into the research institute by Li Yan, and gave him a match. He ordered him to create a powerful ** within a month, otherwise he would be pulled out and beheaded, which immediately scared him to the ground.

Li Yan took Guo Xianyuan's firecrackers and looked at them. In fact, these were just larger firecrackers. Li Yan poured the gunpowder in his hand and looked at them, saying, "The powder is too rough, so that the burning can be more sufficient."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Guo Xian said far away.

Then Li Yan looked at the craftsmen and said, "You are all watching the fun, go and move your own tools!"

"Tool?" Tong Yu remembered the things that had been transported by a truck just now, "Your Highness, has the small blast furnace also been transported?"

Li Yan said: "That's right, you can't figure it out. If you compare it with real objects, you can always create it!"
