Li Chunfeng stood up with an unnatural expression on his face. It can be said how shocked Li Yin was by his and Yuan Tiangang's Taoism, and how shocked he was by the thing Li Yin brought, "Master, do you also want to take a look at it?" ?”

??Yuan Tiangang saw that Li Chunfeng's expression was wrong, so he walked over curiously, and used this telescope to observe the western sky according to the method Li Chunfeng described, and his expression became more and more exciting. <-"

?? "Your Highness, how dare the old Taoist and disciple accept such a fetish?" Yuan Tiangang bowed to Li Yin.

??Li Yin said: "You two priests, just take it. What is sacred to you is not worth much to this king. Most of it is returned by the palace."

?? Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang looked at each other and said, "Then thank you, Your Highness!"

?? Sending away the two Taoists, Li Yin asked Jin Daqian to choose a smarter one among his servants, and these days he will hand over these deceptions to him.

?? Promised Yuan Tiangang's master and apprentice, Li Min asked Jin Daqian to send them a thousand taels of gold the next day, and asked them to build a Taoist temple in Qingcheng Mountain, 60 kilometers away from Yizhou.

?? And here in Yizhou City, the exhibition organized by Shangguanyi and others is about to start, and Li Yin gives the order to harvest potatoes.

??In Yangshu Village, Wei Tieniu organized the whole village to go to the field to harvest potatoes after receiving Li Yin's order. I have to say. He was really under a lot of pressure at this time, after all, the whole village bet on this potato. If they can't make money, all the villagers in Yangshu Village will be hungry this year.

"Tie Niu, why don't you go to Yizhou City to visit His Highness and see what His Highness says, how can you sell potatoes worth twenty shi in this mu of land? If you can't sell them, the whole village will have to eat them, but this stuff Delicious is delicious. But you can’t eat it as a meal.” Said a young man who was Wei Tieniu’s childhood friend.

Wei Tieniu understood that his worry was justified, but his trust in Li Yin had reached a level of blindness, and he said, "What are you worrying about? If the potatoes can't be sold, I'll give you all the wages for repairing the underground pipeline." Watch Wei Tieniu pick up a potato plant. Pick all the potatoes.

?? "Don't worry, Shiro, His Highness has grown a lot himself, and he wouldn't have grown so much if he didn't make money." Wei Tieniu's mother said while putting potatoes into a basket.

The young man named Shiro nodded, "I'm just asking. Then I'm leaving, my family's 50 mu of land is being harvested now! By the way, Brother Tieniu, why don't you hire some people from the neighboring village to help you harvest it?" Well, many people now come here to find work when they hear that potatoes are harvested here."

??Wei Tieniu thought the same. How long will it take for the mother and son to collect so many potatoes, so he said: "Mom, why don't I hire a few people, and the wages are only two cents a day."

?? "Okay, you can go. The governor of the Shangguan said that you should bring some people to transport the potatoes to the fair. This matter cannot be delayed."

?? "Yes, mother, then I'm leaving."

??The exhibition was set up in Nanshi by Shangguanyi, and the notice posted in Nanshi stated that the market would be closed for one day just for this exhibition.

The merchants who participated in the auction were invited here by Shangguanyi before leaving Yizhou. After receiving Shangguanyi's invitation, these merchants had to give Shangguanyi a face, and I heard that this time it was something new. These merchants They were all very curious, and some merchants who didn't get anything at the auction were even more active, hoping that they would not return to Yizhou empty-handed.

The sun is just rising, and the clouds in the sky have not yet cleared. At this time, many businessmen have gathered in Nanshi City. Some are discussing who and who got the monopoly rights in the auction, and some are discussing the things at the fair. -Potato.

?? "The new gadgets in Yizhou are really emerging one after another. The auction has just ended, and this is another exhibition. It's really exciting." A businessman said.

?? "The King of Chengdu encourages business. He has nothing to do with it. He dares to boast about Haikou. I have already bought a shop in Yizhou City. In the future, as long as there is a profitable business, I hope to grab it first-hand."

?? "You are smart enough. The prices of shops in Yizhou change every day. Even if you don't do business in the future, you can make a lot of money just by changing hands. I have to buy one."

?? "..."

Listening to the discussions of several businessmen, Dou Yun felt mixed feelings. He was happy that his shop could be sold, but worried that other good locations in Yizhou had been bought by Li Yin. Regretted, at first he just bought a piece of land to try, but he didn't expect the shops to sell so hotly, if he had known this, he should have bought more land.

?? "Master Dou!" When Dou Yun was in a daze, a thin businessman came over to say hello.

??Dou Yun returned a salute. There are many strange businessmen who greet him these days, but most of them come for the shops he built, and he is no stranger to it.

The merchants were chatting and waiting for the fair to start. After a while, some people pushed their carts into Nanshi. The carts were piled with yellow and orange potatoes. The merchants immediately surrounded them when they saw them. Pointing at these never-before-seen things.

?? "This is the new food?"

?? "It looks really weird, can this be eaten?"

?? "Who knows? Let's see and talk, if it's not good, don't buy it!"

?? "Look over there!" cried a businessman.

At this time, some common people set up pots in Nanshi and began to boil water. Wei Tieniu walked back and forth among these common people, instructing the common people to put potatoes on the display stand. If it is a trade fair, it needs to be upgraded, and it cannot be placed on the ground casually.

?? More than a dozen large pots were set up, and baskets of potatoes were poured into the pots to start cooking. At this time, more and more merchants gathered, and they all watched the people's every move with curiosity.

??Wei Tieniu poured a basket of washed potatoes into the pot, looking at the thousands of merchants, he felt relieved. Are there so many merchants still worrying about whether they can’t buy potatoes? He turned his head and walked towards another cauldron, but he caught a glimpse of Shangguanyi and other officials walking towards him, and it was His Royal Highness the King of Chengdu.

?? Wei Tieniu was overjoyed, trotted over, and saluted Li Yin.

?? Seeing that it was Wei Tieniu, Li Yin said, "Tie Niu, how are the preparations going?"

?? "I did everything according to Shangguan Inspector's instructions, and now the potatoes are cooking in the pot." Wei Tieniu said.

??Li Yin nodded, and led a group of officials towards the iron pots, looked at the potatoes being boiled inside, "Tie Niu, the potatoes in your village are growing well!"

?? "Hey, the people in this potato village didn't take too much trouble, fertilizing, weeding, and catching insects a lot, and that's why they grew so big." Wei Tieniu was a little proud.

??The merchants all looked over when they saw a group of officials. Some merchants who recognized Li Yin all stepped forward. Dou Yun was the first to come over and greeted him: "Dou Yun has seen His Highness."

?? "Dou Hairuo sees Your Highness!"

?? "Exemption!" Li Yin said, looked at Dou Hairuo, and said with a smile, "The master Dou's son is really handsome."

??Dou Yun smiled awkwardly, "Your Highness, this is the little girl Dou Hairuo."

??Li Yin was taken aback, seeing that she didn't have an Adam's apple, and then he understood, "So she's a little lady."

??The businessmen around laughed when they heard the words, and Dou Hairuo blushed immediately.

?? At this moment, another businessman bowed and said, "Yangzhou businessman Cai Jiexiong has seen His Highness!"

?? "Could it be Cai Jiexiong who is the richest man in the world?" Li Yin has also heard about the richest man in Yangzhou.

??Cai Jiexiong said: "Cai Jiexiong doesn't dare to take the word rich and famous. Compared with His Highness, Cai Jiexiong is just a candle. How dare this candle compete with the bright moon."

"Treasurer Cai is really humble, and he is really good at speaking." Li Yin picked up the spoon and picked up three potatoes from the iron pot. Before Li Yin came, the potatoes started to cook, and now they are cooked It's almost half an hour.

Soaked three potatoes in cold water on one side, and Li Min picked up the potatoes and gave them to Cai Jiexiong, "The shopkeeper Cai must be a courageous person who can make such a big business. I don't know if you dare to try it first. Eat potatoes."

??Cai Jiexiong was flattered, no matter how big his business is, how can he compare with the status of Li Yin, the prince, now that Li Yin personally filled him with potatoes, how dare he not take them, so he took the potatoes in Li Yin's hand.

?? Li Yin gave the remaining two potatoes to Dou Yun and his daughter. The three of them took the potatoes and looked at each other. All three of them took a bite.

?? "How does it taste?" The expressions on the faces of the three people no longer need them to say anything.

??Cai Jiexiong ate the potatoes in two mouthfuls, even Dou Hairuo ate a few mouthfuls, "It's really delicious in the world." Cai Jiexiong said.

??When some other merchants heard the words, they all showed longing eyes. Li Yin turned to Wei Tieniu and said, "Tie Niu, share the boiled potatoes with the merchants to try."

??Wei Tieniu excitedly said: "Yes, Your Highness." He hurried over to let the people scoop up potatoes.

??Cai Jiexiong was still not satisfied, and said: "Your Highness, can I have another one?"

??Li Yin and all the officials smiled and said: "Of course, just let go!".

?? "Everyone, this trade fair has officially started, please relax and eat." Shangguanyi walked to the middle and let go of his voice and shouted.

??Hearing this, the merchants all gathered around the iron pot. There is also a good thing about eating for free. No one is a fool, so they have the right to have lunch.

?? Cai Jiexiong, who had tasted the potatoes, asked, "Your Highness doesn't know how to sell these potatoes. Do you want to auction off the monopoly?"

?? "There is no exclusive right to this potato, and any merchant can buy it." Li Yin replied.

??As soon as Li Yan said this, those small vendors were all in high spirits, and one small vendor asked, "Your Highness, how do you sell these potatoes?"

?? "Ten words for a fight." Li Yin replied.

?? "Ten words!"

?? "It's so delicious, it's only ten cents a bucket!"

?? "..."

?? Li Yin's words made the vendors immediately explode, but these words were said from Li Yin's hands, and the credibility is 100%.

?? Both Cai Jiexiong and Dou Yun couldn't believe it, and Dou Yun said, "Then, who should I buy from, Your Highness?"

??Li Yin pointed to Wei Tieniu, who was busy, and said, "Just look for him."

??Hearing this, the merchants ran towards Wei Tieniu. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to m. to read.)
