The third stop is a flower garden, which is still gray and gray at present. Li Xiang has exchanged many flower seeds, but they have not sprouted yet. This is also for making soap, perfume and shampoo in the future.
The production method has been out for a long time, but these raw materials are not available. If Li Xiang goes out to purchase, it may make someone aware of it, so we produce it all for ourselves and carry out closed-loop management. Even if someone wants to find the recipe, we will let them know.
He couldn't find the door.
Anyway, there are exchanged craftsmen in the system. Even if these people have a knife on their neck, they will not say a word. Then Li Xiang selects apprentices from death row prisoners and slaves. This model is still acceptable.
.
Although Li Xiang said that he would give them freedom in ten years, the society outside did not even have enough food to eat, and life was okay within the high wall. It is estimated that after ten years these people will have adapted to such a life, and they will not be able to
I will go out and start over again.
"Who owes you money? What's the expression on your face?"
After inspecting the flower garden, Li Xiang was about to get on the carriage when he saw Qian Ping's face feeling painful.
"Your Highness, it's not who owes me money, it's the speed at which Your Highness spends money..."
Qian Ping does not deny that Li Xiang has a strong ability to make money, but his ability to spend money seems to be even stronger. Take the surrounding workshops, each of which costs thousands of dollars. Take raising pigs and making wine, for example.
At least you can see the benefits and just spend money. After all, you can earn it back at any time.
But now in this flower garden, the ground is bare. When the flowers are planted, it will be next year. In addition to buying land and finding people, the daily expenses are not a small amount. Qian Ping is responsible for keeping accounts for Li Xiang.
In just half a month's work, tens of thousands of dollars have been spent.
When Li Xiang made money, Qian Ping was very happy. He also imagined that the big house he bought in the outer city would not be able to put the money. Who knew that money was coming in and money was being shipped out?
The volume is still growing, but the rate of growth is different from what was previously expected.
"Spending money is to make better money. Otherwise, what would you do with the money? Just throw it in the house and look at it? Don't worry, one day you will have more money than the national treasury."
Li Xiang also knew that Qian Ping had good intentions. After patting this guy on the shoulder, Li Xiang got on the carriage.
More than the treasury?
Qian Ping looked at the carriage going away with some disbelief. Your Highness knows how to joke. If you become the emperor in the future and this old slave is still alive, I might have the opportunity to follow you to the treasury to see what happened to the money in your private hands.
How can it be more than the national treasury? Isn’t this a joke?
There are also those slaves and death row prisoners. According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, since they were bought, they will have to work honestly for the rest of their lives. How can we pay them salaries? Isn't this an increase in expenditure for no reason?
?And it has to be based on social prices. I really don’t know what His Highness is thinking.
Now in Chang'an City, it costs about 300 cents a month to hire a clerk, 700 cents for a bookkeeper, and 300 cents a month for these slaves and death row inmates. In the future, the money will be increased every year based on performance. This is truly unprecedented.
First time.
Thinking about already having more than 1,300 slaves and prisoners on death row, and having to spend another 400 yuan a month, it makes my body hurt just thinking about it.
"Manager Qian, His Highness has gone far."
Niu San kindly reminded you that if you don't catch up, His Highness will scold you again later if you can't find anyone.
"Let's go, let's go."
Qian Ping hurriedly urged his horse to follow him. His heart was so painful that he almost twisted it. Now he wished he had to ignore Li Xiang. How could he live like this...
After running around outside for a day, Li Xiang saw that it was getting dark and took his men to prepare to return to the city.
not good!
The driver of the carriage was Li San. As he was traveling, he heard the sound of arrows piercing the air. This guy had the combat power of twenty-three people, and his eyesight and reaction speed were beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
Li San quickly discovered where the bow and arrow came from, and suddenly lay back, then kicked in the air, just in time to hit the bow and arrow shot from a distance, and the bow and arrow flew upwards under the force.
.
"Eleven o'clock on the left."
No one in the Tang Dynasty understood what Li San meant by his words, but the guards on both sides of the carriage understood. They immediately took off their bows and arrows, and then several bows and arrows flew to the left, all in one movement.
Li Xiang in the carriage sneered. He had been very happy today. He didn't expect that when he was about to return to the city, a mouse droppings came, which affected his good mood. I just don't know who has such courage to openly assassinate.
The emperor’s eldest grandson…
The person who assassinated him was extremely skilled in archery, mainly because he had set up an ambush earlier, so there was basically no chance of a fish slipping through the net. However, he didn't expect that the people around Li Xiang were so powerful, and the arrows he shot could be kicked away.
The most important thing is that the surrounding guards reacted extremely quickly. Before he could shoot the second arrow, the opponent's counterattack had already come, so he could only escape as soon as possible.
"My subordinates are incompetent and the opponent runs too fast."
Li Wu rode back from a distance. The other party had already prepared an escape route. They all needed a cup of tea.
"check…"
Li Xiang held the arrow in his hand and just said, the arrows used by archery masters are completely different from ordinary people. Whether it is the material of the arrow or the feathers on the back, it looks like high-end goods and cannot be bought by ordinary people.
Affordable.
"How strong is the other party?"
Among all the people present, no one had ever fought against the opponent. Only Li San's feet had come into contact with the shot bow and arrow, so he could infer the opponent's ability.
"Judging from the strength of the bows and arrows, the opponent must have a fighting strength of at least eight people. If we simply talk about the ability of archery, it must be at least fifteen people."
Li San said honestly. He was still feeling guilty for his mistake. If he had been more vigilant just now, he might have discovered it before the opponent shot. The tall grass in the distance was indeed a danger, but he didn't.
Send someone to search in advance.
"There are no more than ten people with such ability in Chang'an City, and there are no more than fifty in the entire Tang Dynasty."
Qian Ping added from behind that Li San could only measure the opponent's strength, but Qian Ping knew the entire Chang'an City very well.
Li Xiang still felt that his investigative power was too weak. If Dong Palace had already maintained a group of people, judging from some of the traces of the attack just now, he could basically make a guess, but these people under his command did not have this ability.
, because I have never encountered a master from Chang'an City before...
