Chapter 989

In recent days, the great development of the south of the Yangtze River has spread rapidly in the Tang Dynasty, and the whole Tang Dynasty has been a sensation. Some people agree that once the development of the south of the Yangtze River is developed, the wealth and national strength of the south of the Yangtze River will prosper day by day. Some people object that this move will repeat the tragedy of the Grand Canal if it costs too much and is too happy. I'm afraid that the great development of the south of the Yangtze River needs the efforts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

It was just dawn, the east gate of Chang'an city had just opened, and a knight came from the dusty East.

As soon as the knight entered Chang'an City, he immediately transferred and went straight to Mo mansion.

In Merton, Merton is walking with the potbellied Princess Changle. The month when Princess Changle is pregnant is not small. Zhang suggested that Princess Changle walk more, which is conducive to production. Therefore, walking every morning is a necessary program for Merton and Princess Changle.

"The great development of Jiangnan is indeed a policy to benefit the country and the people. However, if the prime minister doesn't discuss with the Jiangnan aristocratic family, he will directly disclose it. I'm afraid it will arouse the resentment of the Jiangnan aristocratic family. He thinks that the prime minister is selfish." Princess Changle frowned.

Merton shook his head and said, "the aristocratic family attaches most importance to its interests, especially its own interests. If you negotiate with the Jiangnan aristocratic family for your husband, I'm afraid that in the twinkling of an eye, the Jiangnan aristocratic family will reach a secret deal with the five surnames and seven hopes. Now everything is in the light. I'm afraid even if the Jiangnan aristocratic family agrees, the people in Jiangnan don't agree."

Princess Changle could not help but cover her mouth and said with a smile, "you will do bad!"

"Thank you this time, madam. Otherwise, Mojia village can't find a way to break the situation." Merton let go.

Princess Changle gave Merton a white look and said, "how can you thank my concubine?"

"Don't worry, Wei Fu has already prepared a gift for you from Jiangnan. Calculate the day, and it's time!" Merton laughed.

"The gift of Jiangnan?" Princess Changle felt a little curious.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hoofs sounded outside Mo's house. With a rapid sound of Herod, Mo Er came in with heavy travel.

"Go back to young master and madam, Mo Er will live up to his mission." Mo Er waved his big hand, and the two Mohist children carried the package just unloaded from the horse's back.

"Please, madam!" Merton reached out and waved.

"Is this the gift you said?" Princess Changle reached out and felt a chill in her hand.

Merton nodded and said, "madam, open it."

Princess Changle was curious and looked forward to opening the package. She saw that there was a thin layer of broken ice above the package. When she pulled off the ice, she impressively exposed fruit the size of an egg.

"Litchi!" Princess Changle said in surprise.

Merton was stunned. He looked at Princess Changle and said, "madam, do you know her?"

Princess Changle nodded and said, "in the early years, the Feng family in Lingnan paid tribute to Chang'an city. My father and Emperor divided some for me to taste. It is really very delicious. Unfortunately, due to the long journey, it needs a whip to deliver it. It costs too much money and people, so they ordered to prohibit paying tribute to litchi."

Merton then understood and nodded: "madam is pregnant and has a poor appetite. My husband heard that litchi is very delicious, so he asked people to specially transport some from the south of the Yangtze River for his wife to taste."

Princess Changle was very fond of fruit after she was pregnant. Now Lingnan litchi is mature, Merton sent someone to bring back a batch.

"Or does my husband understand me?" Princess Changle couldn't wait to pick up a litchi, peel off the shell and reveal the fresh and tender pulp inside.

"The litchi seems to be more delicious than what my concubine ate before." Princess Changle quickly ate a litchi, and her eyes brightened.

Merton nodded: "Litchi is very difficult to preserve. It changes color in one day, aroma in two days, and taste in three days. After four or five days, the color and aroma are gone. However, Weifu immediately refrigerates litchi with saltpeter ice as soon as it is picked from the branch. Along the way, ice is added continuously to ensure continuous preservation. However, thousands of miles from Lingnan to Chang'an City, the taste of litchi is as delicious as if it had just been picked from a tree."

"Ah! It's so extravagant. If it's spread, it's not my concubine. It's going to be said to be extravagant. Isn't it detrimental to the image of the mistress of the Mohist school." Princess Changle was startled when she heard that the little litchi had consumed so much energy. The Mohist school is now in the wind and rain. If she spread bad rumors again, it would be even worse.

Merton smiled and comforted: "madam, don't worry, this is a fresh-keeping storage method specially designed for my husband. Before long, a large number of litchi will be transported from Lingnan to Chang'an city. My lady just tastes fresh first. How can she be said to be extravagant?"

"There will really be a large number of litchi transported from Lingnan," Princess Changle said in surprise.

Merton nodded and said, "of course, Weifu has placed a large order with Lingnan. In half a month at most, a large number of litchi will be transported from Lingnan to Chang'an city."

"But if five surnames and seven hopes are destroyed from it?" Princess Changle worried.

Merton said cunning, "borrow the reputation of your royal highness, and do not know if your highness is willing to sacrifice for the people of South of the Five Ridges."

Princess Changle couldn't help but put a litchi in her mouth. She said helplessly, "eating people's mouth is short and taking people's hands is soft. Even the princess can't escape!"

Merton laughed loudly, took out his pen and paper and wrote:

"Chang'an looks back, embroidered in piles, thousands of doors on the top of the mountain open again and again.

Riding the princess of the world of mortals, no one knows it's litchi. "

Princess Changle looked at Merton's poems and said helplessly, "in order to eat litchi, the princess's reputation has been destroyed."

The first batch of litchi cost a lot of MI, but she tried it first. She couldn't explain it anyway.

Merton laughed and said, "as a husband, how can you let the lady bear this bad reputation alone? In that case, you and my husband share weal and woe."

When Merton changed the paper, he did not hesitate to write again:

"At the foot of Luofu Mountain in the spring of four seasons, Luju and bayberry are new again.

Eat 300 litchi a day and never quit being a Lingnan person. "

"Eat 300 lychees a day. This time, you and my husband love to eat lychees. The bad name can't be washed away." Princess Changle peeled a lychee and stuffed it into Merton's mouth.

Merton tasted the familiar delicacy and nodded with satisfaction. Litchi transported from Lingnan was the fruit he specially showed to the Jiangnan aristocratic family.

He said that seeing is better than hearing. No matter how touching his propaganda in the ink magazine is, it is far from the real interests of litchi. Moreover, even the Litchi at the southern end can be transported to Chang'an City, let alone other fruits.

Now he has paved the way for Jiangnan, and the interests visible to the naked eye are within reach. He doesn't believe that Jiangnan aristocratic families are indifferent.
