My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 85: big purchase

As Jin Daqian arrived on the land of Nanhe Shengtang Chamber of Commerce, more than a thousand servants were busy building their own houses. The leading servant came from Chang'an with Li Min and participated in the construction of Chang'an Shengtang Workshop. There are more than a dozen slaves under him, all from Chang'an, who are responsible for guiding the new batch of slaves.

??When Li Yin came, Yang Li was reprimanding a few slaves, when he saw Li Yin and Jin Daqian coming, he immediately trotted over: "The cheap slave Yang Li joins Your Highness!"

??Yang Li performed well in the workshop, and he still needs a few points to cancel his slave status. This time he came to Yizhou with Li Yin to show his life, so he paid special attention to the construction of the workshop.

?? "Wanli, what happened?" Li Yin asked after seeing the scene just now.

?? "Reporting to Your Highness, it is a few servants who have worn out the newly bought saw, and I am scolding them!" Yang Li said.

"Oh?" When he was in Chang'an, because of the preparation of the auction house, he didn't have a fine pipe workshop. He said that he was interested in saws. According to history books, Lu Ban invented tools such as saws, chisels, and planes to make carpentry work easier. Quite a few, he hasn't seen what a saw looks like in this era, so he said, "Take me to see it!"

??The arrival of Li Yin made the servants who made mistakes even more terrified, trembling with fright, for fear of being punished.

?? Picking up the saw that was broken into several pieces, Li Yin understood why the saw was so easy to break, because these newly bought saws had no toughness at all, no different from pig iron, not steel at all.

?? It stands to reason that the method of frying steel and pouring steel already existed in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yin asked, "Is there no better saw in Yizhou?"

?? This batch of saws was purchased by Jin Daqian, he said: "Your Highness, this is already the best in the city!"

??Li Yin thought for a while, and said, "Let's go to the blacksmith shop in the city!"

??Jin Daqian led Li Yin to the blacksmith shop where he bought tools. Li Yin took a look and immediately understood that this blacksmith shop didn't even use coal until now, so how could it produce any good steel.

After a glance, Li Yin took Jin Daqian away and returned to the palace. Li Yin wrote a letter to Tong Nian in Chang'an, asking him to send someone to deliver coal to Yizhou. How can such efficient fuel be used without using it? Yizhou's industry developed.

Jin Daqian took the letter and went to the post station. Li Yin had a lot of thoughts for a while. The most primitive explanation of naturalists to human beings is that they can make and use tools for labor. It shows the importance of this tool. Now Li Yin wants to build a large farm. This tool is This is a problem. It is still a problem to build tools. If you want Yizhou’s work efficiency to be comparable to the 21st century, you need tools that surpass this era. But teaching them how to make it in a short time will definitely not work. Li Yan has no choice but to do it. A big purchase, as for the introduction of technology into the Tang Dynasty, it can only be done slowly.

?? Cui Yingying has had a lot of visitors these days, and Li Yin took the opportunity to go back to the old house under the guise of going to Nanhe to supervise the construction of the workshop.

??During the journey to Yizhou, Li Yin kept in touch with Xia Yan and Yang Suxin on his mobile phone. After all, the two worlds have been opened up now, and they can be contacted just by opening the door, which is simple and fast.

??According to the list provided by Li Yin, she has already acquired some factories, and some others are under negotiation, including a warehouse that Li Yin specifically told her to buy.

??This warehouse is located in the suburb of SH, and it was an ancillary warehouse of a former steel factory. Later, due to the poor management of the steel factory, this warehouse was abandoned, and Li Yin needed such a remote warehouse.

??In order to be a hands-off shopkeeper more thoroughly, Li Yin asked Xia Yan to be in charge of setting up the senior management of Datang Group Company and to be in charge of the operation of the entire Datang Group. In this way, Li Yin only needs to make an occasional phone call to ask questions, and he has officially retreated behind the scenes.

?? Determined to make a big purchase, Li Yan asked Xia Yan to temporarily deploy a few people to him, and asked these people to purchase these items according to the list he made, and transport them to the warehouse in the suburbs.

These things include four diesel walking machines and hundreds of barrels of diesel oil, 200 tons of winter wheat seeds and corresponding fertilizers, and all kinds of woodworking tools, such as hacksaws, chisels, planes, etc. Just the distiller used in the distillery, the printing press, and some manual equipment for papermaking.

?? After explaining these things, Li Yin bought some gadgets and slipped back. Taking advantage of the early weather, he went to the Yizhou government office and found Gao Quan.

"Underground pipeline!" Gao Quan has also heard about the Chang'an underground pipeline built by Li Yin, and now Li Yin proposes that Yizhou should also build it in the same way, "Your Highness, Chang'an is flooded after all, but there is no flood in our city of Yizhou, wouldn't it be like this? It's a waste of people's money!"

"Who said that there must be waterlogging to build underground pipelines? I built this underground pipeline for great use. I just came to tell you, don't worry, the cost of this underground pipeline construction will be borne by my Shu Palace, which means that it is my private property!" Li Yin pondered, in fact, when Li Yin was in Chang'an, he built underground pipelines for one purpose—fertilizer.

The low harvest of crops in the Tang Dynasty was not unrelated to the lack of fertilizers for the crops. Fertilizers are indispensable for high-yielding fields in the future. Although Li Yin can buy chemical fertilizers from modern times, this is by no means a long-term solution. Only self-sufficiency in the Tang Dynasty can be improved. The standard of living here is fundamental.

??Li Yin said this, what else can Gao Quan say, the treasury of Yizhou City does not pay a penny, and it can also build underground pipelines, so why not do it.

??The arrangements for the recent affairs are over, Li Yin returned to the palace, and when he arrived at the South Courtyard, Li Yin saw Cui Yingying looking at the watch on her wrist and grinning from ear to ear.

?? "What's the matter, Yingying, so happy!" Li Yin walked in and asked with his arms around her slender waist.

?? Cui Yingying smiled and said, "I have made a lot of money for Your Highness today!"

?? "How do you say that?" Li Yin asked strangely.

Shaking the watch on her wrist, Cui Yingying continued: "The ladies and ladies of these prominent families are afraid that I don't know that they are rich. They wear so many jewelry every day. Today, I was angry and put on the watch His Highness gave me. come out!"

"Then what?"

?? "Then they all rushed to buy one by one. When I asked Jin Daqian, he said there were dozens of them in the warehouse, so he sold them all. How about it?" Cui Yingying looked at Li Yin as if asking for credit.

??Li Yin thought to himself that this Yizhou is really stupid and has a lot of money, and said: "Princess, I really love it!"

?? Sure enough, at night, many people began to carry copper coins to the Shu Palace.

Jin Daqian smiled, took all the money from these people, and then let the servants of the Wangfu put it in the cellar. When he was in Chang'an, he watched others send money to the Wangfu every day. It feels uncomfortable not to see it these days Today, he finally felt comfortable again. He counted the number, gold plus copper coins, a total of tens of thousands of coins, enough to build a workshop.

?? "Miss... In order to reward you, please ask your husband to massage you!"

After dinner, Li Yin and Cui Yingying went to bed with their clothes on, and Li Yin began to play tricks. In front of outsiders, Li Yin would call Princess Cui Yingying, but in private he always called her a lady, saying that she was kind. She no longer cares about it.

?? "No!" Cui Yingying glared at Li Yin.

??This season already has short days and long nights. It was already dark at seven o'clock, and the long nights were really boring.

?? "Hey, why are you going to bed so early?" Li Yin looked at Cui Yingying who got under the quilt and said.

?? Cui Yingying poked her head out: "Didn't Your Highness sleep at this hour before?"

Li Yin used to be an out-and-out night owl. When he was in Prince Liang’s Mansion, he could go back to the old house and have fun secretly. Now that there is one more person around him, he can’t just play and disappear. It will scare people to death: "No, I sleep It's late!"

??Actually, Cui Yingying couldn't fall asleep a lot of the time, but out of habit, she fell asleep at this point, and she said: "Then what is your Highness doing at this time?"

"Play!"

?? "Play? Play what?"

?? "A lot, singing and dancing!" Li Yin meant ktv.

??Cui Yingying smiled and said: "It's very simple. Your Highness just needs to buy some geisha. In the evening, you can invite some prominent families in Yizhou to drink and feast, sing and dance!"

Li Yin understood what Cui Yingying meant. Singing and dancing at banquets in the Tang Dynasty was a normal social activity. At this time, the role of the geisha is the dance partner. If anyone is lucky enough to be favored by Li Shimin, he can become a phoenix from now on.

?? "You are not afraid of which geisha I fancy as my concubine!" Li Yan asked sourly.

?? Cui Yingying said: "What are you afraid of? Yingying is not a jealous woman. Which of the ministers in the court is not three wives and four concubines, and I have three aunts!"

?? Li Yin's mouth grew wide, he hadn't gotten around the corner from the modern concept, Cui Yingying's attitude of taking it for granted made it hard for him to accept, Li Yin turned her face away, "Then do you like me?"

?? "Your Highness, how can you ask such a shameful question?" Cui Yingying arched into Li Yin's arms, and answered the question with actions.

?? Li Yan smiled and was satisfied, but he was still bored, what should he do? Li Yin suddenly felt bad, "Lady, how about the long night long husband telling you a story?"

?? Cui Yingying raised her head, blinked her eyes and said, "Okay, okay!" After being teased by Li Yin, she didn't feel sleepy at all.

?? "The first story is the story of Nie Xiaoqian. It is said that there is a scholar named Ning Caichen, who is from Zhejiang with a generous personality..."

?? "Wait!" Li Yin was interrupted by Cui Yingying as soon as he finished speaking, "Where is Zhejiang?"

?? "This..." Li Yin blushed with sweat, and said wittily, "This is a place in the story!"

?? "Oh." Cui Yingying lay in Li Yin's arms again, and Li Yin continued to make nonsense: "...he went to a place called Lanruo Temple this night..."
