The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

"Can fruits be eaten like this?" Li Er asked, worried that such a practice might affect the nutritional value of the fruit.

"But in this way, will it ......?"

Li Changge saw that Li Er was worried about the loss of nutrients, so he smiled and relieved: "Lao Li doesn't need to worry too much, even if the fruit is dried, most of the effective nutrients can still be retained intact." It is very suitable for tea drinking or direct consumption, and dried fruits will taste sweeter than fresh fruits because of the concentrated sugar. "

After hearing this, Li Er exchanged surprised glances with Wei Zheng and the others, and then cautiously asked Li Changge: "Then how long can this dried fruit be kept?"

Li Changge replied that it could be stored for more than a year.

Li Er took a deep breath and sighed, "This is another treasure for the benefit of the people!"

Li Changge was a little confused about this, and he didn't understand why Li Er regarded the small dried fruit as a treasure for the people.

Li Er patiently explained: "Son, you are talented and can be leisurely anywhere, but for ordinary people, every household needs to store as much surplus food as possible. And this method of preserving the fruit will surely save countless people in distress in the future, which is of great significance!"

Lao Li can think about problems from this perspective, which makes Li Changge feel a little incredible. He thinks it would be too far-fetched to see dried fruit as a precautionary measure, given that there were no large-scale orchards in this era, and even if people consciously made and stored dried fruit, the number was extremely limited. But when you think about it, when you combine the habits of the older generation with the hardships they experienced when they were younger, this seemingly trivial hoarding does have far-reaching significance.

Despite this, Li Changge still decided not to hide his secrets, and generously shared the technique of drying dried fruits, "Okay, you can take this method of drying dried fruits and announce it." In fact...... "He wanted to say that after the country gradually stabilized and the people's lives improved, they would naturally develop various food skills, such as Chang'an's reputation as a food capital was not in vain, but this part of the content was inconvenient for him to disclose."

At this time, Li Er took a sip of fruit tea, looked at Li Changge with burning eyes, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty was able to successfully overcome the difficulties this time, which not only disintegrated the traps set by various families, but also preserved the hearts and minds of the people. Wei Zheng then added: "Childe, your contribution is indelible!"

In the face of everyone's praise, Li Changge was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Wait, what do you mean, did you really dedicate the few suggestions I casually mentioned before?"

Du Ruhui confirmed this with a smile, and praised: "Exactly! As the ancients said: 'Sigh that there was no care in the past, and when will the vast fortune stop.'" 'Childe, you can be called a national warrior!" Fang Xuanling smiled and stroked his beard in agreement, Li Jing was also full of joy, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Changge.

Li Changge immediately blushed when he heard this, and was surprised: "You guys are actually serious? As far as the few ideas I thought of casually, do you really dare to take them out and dedicate them to Your Majesty?" He thought to himself, Li Er was surrounded by wise people like Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, and if their whims were known, wouldn't they be laughed off?

"Oh my God, if such a strategy is known by those big guys, I won't be laughed at to death!" Li Changge couldn't help but get angry, thinking that a think tank team of the level of Fang and Du could not look down on his random ideas.

When this sentence blurted out, the smiles on the faces of Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others instantly froze, and the atmosphere became extremely embarrassing.

At this moment, the whole scene fell into extreme silence and embarrassment.

Their hearts were pricked with needles, and they almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Xin said: "You are called a bad idea, then isn't the strategy we proposed a nonsense? Even an upright person like Wei Zheng blushed and bowed his head in shame, and we, the self-righteous 'masters', are now simply embarrassed!"

When Li Er and Li Jing saw this scene, they almost laughed, this kid does have a set of kung fu when he speaks to hurt people.

After being stunned for a moment, Li Changge asked with a look of surprise: "Wait, what did you mean just now...... Did Li Shimin really adopt my ideas?".

Li Er smiled and nodded, confirming his guess: "That's right, Your Majesty not only adopted your plan, but was also very satisfied with the talent you showed, and was planning to invite you to go out of the mountain as an official!" This is Li Er's true intention, he decided to get Li Changge to Chang'an first, and Wei Zheng and the others also agreed with this decision.

When Li Changge heard this, he was completely stunned: "Damn, Your Majesty really adopted it?"

In retrospect, there have been a few cheap new bookstores and paper and ink shops in Chang'an recently, which correspond to his paper-making strategy to suppress the monopoly of economic resources on the part of the family. At the same time, Li Er did issue an edict to publicize potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are "auspicious crops" with a yield of thousands of catties per mu.

remembered that Ying'er mentioned in the previous report that the people of Chang'an were discussing this matter, and he was focused on the operation of the store at that time and did not pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly, Li Er really adopted his strategy and had already put it into practice.

"So, the effect is pretty good?".

Fang Xuanling and the others hurriedly corrected him: "Childe's words are wrong! If it weren't for Childe's resourcefulness to stabilize the world, I'm afraid the land of Shenzhou would be in the midst of war again." This is just a good effect, and it is simply a great merit!"

Li Changge thought for a while and asked a key question: "Then let me ask, have you reported all the strategies I mentioned, including the papermaking technology, to Your Majesty?"

Lao Li couldn't wait: "Of course, Datang has now started to build a paper workshop - no, it should be called a paper industry." The imperial treasury accounts for half of the shares, I hold 20%, Lao Du is the shopkeeper 10%, and as for the son, you have 30% of the shares. "

When Li Changge heard this, he was a little surprised that there was a cooperation method similar to the joint-stock system in this era, but after thinking about it, the handicraft industry and commerce in ancient China were indeed quite developed, and it was reasonable for such a business model to appear. Now that the paper industry has begun to operate, it is logical that many bookstores and paper and ink shops have suddenly emerged in Chang'an City recently, which is obviously Li Shimin's layout.

Regarding the allocated shares, Li Changge felt that something was wrong...... Something is very wrong~

Li Changge quickly calculated in his heart, and was not surprised that Li Er owned 20% of the shares, after all, he was the most financially powerful one in this group. As Lao Li's cronies or doormen, it is reasonable for Lao Du to have a 10% share, after all, he may have held the actual management position in the paper industry. There can be no doubt that the imperial court held 40% of the shares in order to secure control over important resources and industries. But what puzzled Li Changge was that he actually got a thirty percent share, which is really incredible.

Faced with Li Changge's question, Li Er smiled and did not answer, and then explained: "Gongzi doesn't know, Your Majesty has always been a corporal Lixian, and this time it is precisely because of your strategy to help him tide over the difficulties, so His Majesty specially gave you thirty percent of the shares." "

Li Changge was even more surprised, not understanding why he had received such a rich reward.
