Xiao Bei had a reason to be happy. When they were walking on the road earlier, many people would hide far away when they saw the team. Even if they were curious about the big house in the team, they did not dare to come close. The little girl was even more scared and did not dare to show her head.
She did not expect to meet someone who was not afraid. She had already seen the team, but she was still sitting there leisurely reading.
Xiao Bei wanted to find someone to ask about her brother and sister. When she saw that Luo Xianger didn't run away, she lifted her princess dress with both hands and ran to Luo Xianger's side. She struggled to climb onto the rock and leaned over to read together.
Luo Xianger did not care who was passing by, let alone be afraid. Her sister had said that she must have the temperament of a lady. She must be calm in the face of chaos and remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her.
But whose family was this little girl from? Why was she so pretty and likable?
Glancing at the new little girl, Luo Xianger smiled and said, "Do you want to know the story?"
"Coaxing a child? This is called a tortoise and a rabbit race. " Xiao Bei had nothing to do all day. Other than eating, sleeping, playing, she was being carried by others and told stories. How could she not know what the picture was? She could even read a small part of the words.
Luo Xianger was not an adult. When she saw that someone younger than her knew the story, she asked curiously, "How do you know? How old are you? "
"Three, three years old, there's, there's another one, saying, 'Little Tortoise ~ and Little Rabbit ~ competed ~ again. The rabbit ~ lost again. There's a river, but the rabbit didn't ~ jump across it.'" Xiao Bei was a little nervous. His words were not very fluent, but he still managed to express himself clearly.
"Hahaha!" Luo Xianger covered her mouth and laughed.
At this time, the other little guys also came close. Some climbed on the stone by themselves, some pushed others up. Everyone was expressing their own thoughts. It was a mess.
Luo Xianger did not know who to listen to. She looked at the group of younger brothers and sisters and found that they were all made of good materials. She touched the clothes of the little girl who came first and knew that she had a similar piece of gauze at home. She had asked someone and found that the gauze was not silk that was usually worth 200 copper coins. It could be worth 20 strings of coins or 200 strings of coins. Ordinary people with a little money could not buy it.
She was not willing to take it out to make clothes, so why did this little girl wear it?
Seeing that someone was touching his clothes, Xiao Bei even posed. "Do I look good?"
"It looks good," Luo Xianger said honestly. At the same time, she wondered if she should also have a set of clothes made for herself.
"If you can tell me about my brother and sister, I'll give you one." Xiao Bei put forward her terms.
"No, I have one too. I'll make it tomorrow. Who are your brothers and sisters?" Luo Xianger didn't want a servant girl's things.
"Ah? You, you have it too? This, this is called En ~ Southern Sea Pearl Muslin. It's the sign of the sea and clouds. It's only given ~ and not sold. Xiao Yuan, what do you say? "Xiao Bei still knew what material the clothes on her body were made of.
Ever since Xiao Yuan was tripped by the horse-tripping rope, he was a little afraid of Xiao Bei. When he heard Xiao Bei's question, he immediately said, "The promontory is accompanied by the end of the world. It shouldn't exist in the mortal world, but only hangs in the clouds. Money is priceless. "
"Are you Xiao Bei?" Luo Xiang 'er guessed.
"Eh?" Xiao Bei was stunned. "You know?"
"Stupid, when other people hear about the sea and clouds, of course they know." Xiao Yuan said to Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei puffed up his cheeks. "You're the stupid one. Come at me if you dare."
Luo Xiang 'er finally knew who the people who came were. She always heard from her brother and sister that they had younger brothers and sisters. They were all very interesting, smart, and liked to bicker. It was true.
The muslin that her sister gave her was called Southern Sea Pearl Muslin. It seemed to be the best one. Even Xiao Bei wore it.
When she thought of this, Luo Xiang 'er felt very happy. She shouted to the other children who were running away, "Don't be afraid. My brother and sister's family are here."
When the children who ran away heard this, they ran back even faster. They were not afraid anymore. They surrounded the group of children who were younger than them and looked at them one by one. The children also looked at the people who surrounded them. They were not afraid. They were already used to being surrounded.
Luo Xiang 'er held Xiao Bei's hand and began to talk about her brother and sister. Xiao Bei did not care if he could understand the details. As long as he felt that she was praising his brother and sister, he nodded vigorously.
The Zhang Family and Wang Family's groups stopped. The guards who came from the side also stood still, waiting for the children to finish asking and come back.
When Xiao Bei and the others came back, they brought Luo Xiang 'er with them. Xiao Bei personally introduced her, saying that this sister was the sister that his brother and sister recognized. He also pulled her into the house for a tour and did not slowly walk in front of the group.
The other children in the village got a lot of delicious food and fun things. They asked them to help inform Luo Xiang 'er's family. Luo Xiang' er followed them into the county.
The group's speed suddenly became faster.
*****
The two pigeons flapped their wings and flew back to the capital, returning to the embrace of their big family. For pigeons, there were many relatives in the capital. There was always a relative who was sent away in large batches. After a while, a few would fly back and forth.
The pigeons in the capital were all under Gao Lishi's care. He found someone to learn how to raise them, train them, and then send them to various places. Luoyang and Boxin County sent the most pigeons. As long as the Zhang Family and Wang Family were there, they could not lack carrier pigeons. When they encountered Xiao Bei and Xiao Zhu, they suddenly did not want to eat anymore. Such a big matter had to be reported as quickly as possible.
As for the carrier pigeons placed in other provinces, as long as there was not a mass uprising or the army of another country attacking, they could not be casually used for other small matters. Of course, it was fine to use them. Even if it was to send a letter to the capital, it would cost money. After all, it was not easy to raise and train pigeons. They also had to be transported in cages.
When Gao Lishi obtained this right, there were really people who were willing to spend money to send a letter, especially those who had big business outside the capital. They did not care about the small fee. The advantage was that it was fast, and time was money.
There was one thing that Gao Lishi did very well. He did not open other people's letters. He sent the letter to whoever it belonged to. The place where the pigeons were sent did not need to spend money. Someone in the capital had to pay for it. If no one did, then the letter would not be sent. Furthermore, he would let the other side catch the person and pay for it.
Every day, there were pigeons flying from all over the country. They earned a lot of money. A portion of the money was used to raise the pigeons, and the rest was given to Li Longji.
Today, Gao Lishi received another letter from Boxin County. It was not written specifically for him. It was related to the Sinongsi Temple, so he could not leave it behind. After reading the letter, he came back to look for Li Longji.
Li Longji was feeding the fish. Ever since Zhang Xiaobao gave Gao Lishi a large fish tank, Li Longji would ask Gao Lishi how the fish was doing. The fish was given by Gao Lishi's son, so it had a special meaning. He was embarrassed to ask Gao Lishi for it, but he missed it.
Zhang Xiaobao knew about this matter, so he gave Li Longji another fish tank in case he could not control himself and snatched Gao Lishi's one day. He also gave Li Longji a lot of fish food and told him not to eat too much, or he would die from overeating.
When Gao Lishi arrived, Li Longji had already fed the fish once. He was hesitating whether to feed the fish less. Feeding the fish was very interesting and satisfying.
"Lishi, what's the good news?" In the end, Li Longji did not feed the fish again. He was afraid that if the fish died, he would not be able to ask Xiao Bao and Cuckoo for more. He put the rest of the fish back into the box and asked Gao Lishi who had hurried over.
When Gao Lishi passed the letter in his hand, he replied, "Your Majesty, good news. The Sinongsi Temple's newly cultivated radishes can make a lot of money."
"Oh? There are people who like to eat bitter and small radishes? They are as thin as ginseng. "Li Longji was very surprised.
"Your Majesty, didn't you send a lot of radishes to Baoxin County a few days ago and asked Xiao Bao and Cuckoo to think of a solution? If they do, they can make a lot of money. All the remaining seeds can be sold, and the radishes that are still alive can be sold as well. But in the future, don't cultivate such seeds anymore. "Gao Lishi signaled Li Longji to read the letter.
When Li Longji heard that the letter was from Baoxin County, he knew what was going on without reading it. It must be Xiao Bao lying again. Who would be so stupid? Who would spend a lot of money to buy a lousy radish? No, who would be so unlucky to meet Zhang Xiaobao?
With curiosity, Li Longji read the letter and laughed. He wanted to laugh but was holding back his laughter, so he said to Gao Lishi, "Go and find the Sinongsi Temple's Assistant Official Jiang Cen."
*****
In the Sinongsi Temple, Jiang Cen was worried. Two years ago, when he was doing research, he found a good type of radish. It was big and didn't taste too spicy. It was crispy and sweet and could be eaten steamed. It was a very good variety. He cultivated a lot of radishes and planted the seeds in the autumn.
Most of them used simple greenhouses, and a small number of them used greenhouses made of glass sent by the Zhang Family and Wang Family. However, when the radishes appeared at the beginning of spring this year, it was over. The radishes of the second generation were obviously different from the first. In other words, the radishes couldn't be kept from generation to generation. They could only be cultivated from generation to generation, and people in distant places couldn't use them.
"What should I do? How should I explain this to people? The Zhang Family and Wang Family used such precious glass to support the Sinongsi Temple's research. Now, all of them are useless. If the Zhang Family and Wang Family ask, how should I answer? "
Jiang Cen muttered to himself. The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt. There were still a lot of seeds left in his hands. Fortunately, he didn't plant them. Otherwise, he would have wasted a lot of good land.
Standing beside Jiang Cen was the registrar of the Sinongsi Temple. He was also worried. Hearing Jiang Cen's muttering, he suggested, "Shaoqing, why don't we see if pigs eat the radishes?"
"Even if pigs eat them, we can't give them seeds. The yield is not good. Peel them and leave some. Let's see if the third generation can change after the radishes bear seeds. If I had known this, I wouldn't have used the greenhouses. Let's find someone to peel them and see what else can be planted in this season."
Looking at the two rows of greenhouses provided by the Zhang Family and Wang Family, Jiang Cen was about to cry. His efforts of several years were in vain.
"Assistant Official Sinongsi, His Majesty wants to see you. He said that he wants to discuss the new radishes." The eunuch who came to pass the message arrived at this time. He didn't hide anything and even told Jiang Cen the general situation so that Jiang Cen could prepare.
