Chapter Fifty-Two Where Does So Much Bullshit Come From?
"I just ate before, but I forgot such an important thing." Li Shimin said slowly, his expression a little ugly.
Li Shimin knew the most about what status pepper was in the Tang Dynasty.
But even if it is priced at gold, it still has no market price.
Most peppers are tributes.
There are very few peppers that can be found in the folk.
Ordinary people have no chance to enjoy such things at all.
But Mingming, here Zhao Chen, he actually saw peppers similar to peppers.
this……
"Zhao Chen, where did you come from this chili pepper?" Li Shimin asked.
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, this pepper tastes comparable to pepper. If it can be grown on a large scale, it will definitely be popular in the entire Tang Dynasty." Wei Zheng also nodded.
He was very curious about where Zhao Chen found something magical like pepper.
The pork fried with chili is a delicious food on earth.
Wei Zheng was thinking just now, could he ask Zhao Chen for some chili when he went back later.
This is too delicious.
"I once met a merchant from the Western Regions. He gave me some strange seeds. After planting them, they were peppers." Zhao Chen made up a lie casually.
"I had such a magical encounter, Zhao Chen, you are my nobleman of the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin said excitedly.
Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment.
I don’t know why His Majesty the Emperor said such words.
But after thinking a little, I understood it again.
The method of removing the taste of pork can completely change the meat environment of the Tang Dynasty and benefit the country and the people.
This pepper is also used to replace pepper, which ordinary people can afford to eat.
With these two things alone, Zhao Chen has become a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty.
"Okay, I promised you this kind of chili matter." Li Shimin nodded and said.
This is a good opportunity to make money, and Li Shimin doesn't want to miss it.
Thinking about the fact that pepper could replace pepper, which set off a gust of turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was quite excited.
Moreover, if pepper really replaces pepper, it will also help reduce the authority of the aristocratic family.
Li Shimin always remembered Zhao Chen's remarks about the imperial examination.
It's just that I've never had a good chance.
Planting chili peppers may be the first step to reduce the power of the five surnames and seven hopes.
"Everything is needed to grow peppers, and Zhao Chen, you just need to hand over this technology to us."
"I will count you 50% of the benefits in the future, how about you?" Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen and smiled.
50% is not much, but it is also a lot.
After all, Zhao Chen just came up with a skill.
Moreover, peppers have begun to be grown in Wannian County. If people are aware of it, peppers will soon be launched.
The price given by Lao Li is actually not low.
"Okay, I believe in your character, Lao Li." Zhao Chen nodded and smiled.
Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment.
Your Majesty is also very nice to this young man named Zhao Chen.
50%, how much does that cost?
Wei Zheng thought that His Majesty the Emperor would give Zhao Chen at most 10% of the time, so he would like to give him some meaning.
But this move is 50%? Is this crazy?
"Old..." Wei Zheng was about to persuade Li Shimin to think about it again, but he saw Li Shimin waved at him impatiently.
"Old Wei, you came here today for dinner. Don't talk too much about other things. If someone loses this business, someone will not let you go." Li Shimin said lightly.
Wei Zheng whispered twice, and looked at the side with anger.
A hint of pride flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.
I thought to myself that this old man finally made me speechless.
Who made you roll around in the court every time, pulling my clothes, so that I can’t get out of Taiwan?
"Zhao Chen, you just said there were two businesses, and what was the other one?" Li Shimin asked, his face full of curiosity.
He needs money now.
It feels very bad to live a life tightening belt.
Raising pigs takes time, and the treasury also needs to allocate money.
It's really hard for Li Shimin to die.
He wished he could see the money being repaid now.
"Old Wei, please help me go to the backyard to pour a basin of water with a wooden basin." Zhao Chen looked at Wei Zheng and said with a smile.
"Why is it me?" Wei Zheng was depressed and blurted out.
"Then let Lao Li go!" Zhao Chen said casually and looked at Lao Li.
Old Li's face turned black in an instant.
Do you want me, the emperor, to fetch water for him?
Too much, right?
He kicked Wei Zheng and said angrily: "If you ask you to go, go, where can you come from so much nonsense?"
"Do you still want to come here for dinner next time?"
Wei Zheng's face turned dark as well.
I thought to myself that if I didn’t beat His Majesty the Emperor in the court tomorrow, he wouldn’t be Wei Zheng.
His Majesty the Emperor treated his ministers like this for the sake of a shopkeeper of a tavern.
Wei Zheng felt quite wronged.
I went to the backyard in a depressed mood, filled a full basin of water with a wooden tray, and placed it on the table.
"What do you want water to do? Could it be that you are a buffalo and you have to drink so much?" Wei Zheng looked at Zhao Chen and asked.
The voice was quite unhappy.
If it weren't for this kid, how could he have fallen to fetch water for others?
Wei Zheng felt embarrassed.
"I have a neighbor in my hometown who is over 90 years old. Do you know why she can live so old?" Zhao Chen looked at Wei Zheng and said with a smile.
"I am in my 90s, I am really a lucky person."
"Whether she is in good health, is there any other reason?" Wei Zheng looked shocked.
The average lifespan of the people in the Tang Dynasty is only 40 or 50 years old.
In his nineties, that is definitely a rare existence.
Li Shimin was also quite curious.
However, when he went to his hometown in Wannian County, Zhaochen, he never saw such an old man.
Otherwise, he would definitely visit.
"What's the reason? Because the old man never medds nostalgic!" Zhao Chen looked at Wei Zheng and said with a smile.
"What?"
"Hahahaha-Old Wei, look, it's not someone who talks too much about you." Before Wei Zheng could react, he heard Li Shimin laughing.
After laughing, he also used words to squeeze Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng then realized that the boy Zhao Chen actually made up a story to squeeze his own?
But he was still stupid and asked.
It's really stupid.
Wei Zheng glared at Zhao Chen, but did not speak.
I thought to myself that this kid was so quick-witted, he was much stronger than the prince and prince in the palace.
I think this is also the reason why His Majesty the Emperor likes to come here!
"Is this second business related to this water?" Zhao Chen said slowly.
The two people in front of them stopped talking and were waiting for Zhao Chen to continue talking.
"Old Li, what will you want to keep around you in this hot summer?" Zhao Chen looked at Old Li and said with a smile.
"The hot summer is the most important thing to think of is the summer escape, it's ice, but this ice is where ordinary people..."
