A large group of people were shaving ice and permafrost in the low-lying area.
The people in the county said that the pond was not good. It ate people and other things.
Many years ago, someone's child swam here and disappeared. They couldn't be found even if they pulled nets from boats.
Sometimes, big fish would appear in the pond and disappear after a few days.
The families didn't allow their children to play here or draw water from the pond. They were afraid.
When Li Yi heard that there was a big fish, he decided not to go down alone. If there was a big black fish, it would bite people.
At least a few people had to cooperate and cover for it.
There might be a big underground lake below. Fish grew there in winter and went up when there was water above in spring.
If he didn't make good use of the place where the four rivers converged, he would be letting down the special geographical structure.
"There is a big karst cave in Luo Nan County of Shangzhou. Does anyone know about it?"
Li Yi was waiting for the entrance when he remembered that there was a karst cave next to it.
The Fragrant Mountain Karst Cave was said to have a bad view. There were no facilities, and one had to climb the mountain for a long time.
It was a private development. They wanted to invest more money, but the local hardware couldn't keep up.
There weren't many good roads or cable cars.
Whoever went there would climb the mountain, then go in for a walk, spend some money, and come out.
The tickets were cheap. One only needed to pay for electricity. Food and beverage couldn't keep up. There were few tourists.
Li Yi was thinking about the value of the place. Tourism was out of the question.
Few people went there in his time, let alone in the Tang dynasty. Who would go there for fun?
Everyone shook their heads. They hadn't heard of it. Luo Nan had heard of it. It was a county.
"It's better to use it to grow mushrooms. No, if you want to grow mushrooms, you can just dig them out on the Loess Plateau. Why go to such a high mountain?"
Li Yi considered the idea of mushrooms and rejected it.
Then, he realized that the Fragrant Mountain Karst Cave had no value. He considered other karst caves.
For example, the Cockscomb Cave in Henan Province? It had a constant temperature.
"There is the Luan River south of Guo Zhou. Who knows about the Cockscomb Cave there?" Li Yi asked again.
"Are there any signs of human habitation there?" Li Longji thought hard, but he couldn't remember anything.
Li Yi's eyes suddenly became sluggish. After a few breaths, he shook his head and said, "No, but there is a hole there. Let's go back and take a look. Maintain the temperature."
Li Yi knew the use of a constant temperature of 18 degrees Celsius. In the winter, there was no need to light a stove, and in the summer, it was even cooler.
Shiitake mushrooms are not suitable to be planted inside. Enoki mushrooms can be used to cultivate mycelium, especially in winter.
In the summer, they would be placed outside in a cool shed to maintain the temperature around 20 degrees Celsius.
Shiitake mushrooms require a high temperature, so they can be grown in summer or in a greenhouse.
"The best one is the Monkey Head Mushroom, 18 degrees. Yes, 18 degrees." Li Yi felt that he had found a treasure.
Cockscomb Cave was a large place with a constant temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, which was the best temperature for cultivating Hericium Erinaceus.
Moreover, the Hericium Mushroom did not require much light. A few kerosene lamps were enough for the Hericium Mushroom to grow.
The Li Family Zhuangzi had made quite a bit of money from the Monkey Head Mushrooms and Wood Ear Mushrooms. Even the Imperial Plantation above them didn't make much money.
"Where is it?" Li Longji thought that the commoners would have work to do. They needed manpower to grow a large number of mushrooms.
"It is less than 20 miles northwest of Laojun Mountain. It is a straight line distance. If you take the mountain road …" Li Yi said according to the map.
"Oh ~ ~" Li Longji knew the location. His great-grandfather Li Shimin had given it the name.
His great-grandfather had also created the Xuanwu Gate. He was also fated to do so.
At the same time, he was not the First Prince. He was able to become the Crown Prince because of his strength.
"Okay, let's take a look at it on the way back. We will also go to Laojun Temple."
Li Longji finally came out. He just had to return to Chang 'an during the New Year.
"I will send someone back to get the mycelium and prepare to plant a large number of mushrooms." Li Yi rubbed his hands.
Then, he looked at Li Longji: "Third Brother, do you think His Majesty wants to invest?"
"No, His Majesty doesn't care about such a small amount of money." Li Longji did not want it. It was not much money.
"Oh, right. A million a year is indeed not enough. Then I will do it myself." Li Yi nodded and agreed with his third brother.
"How much?" Li Longji asked in surprise when he heard the number.
"A million eight hundred thousand. I will mainly export it and promote it. I will make up stories about how good it is. The price is high. There are not many wild mushrooms in the first place."
Li Yi made it clear that it could not be sold at that price in the Tang Dynasty. It was exported to Japan, Southeast Asia, and other countries.
It was all about promotion. For example, Maka.
At first, it was sold by the gram. One gram could be sold for more than 20 yuan.
Later, everyone tried their best to grow it and sold it by the kilogram. One kilogram was more than 10 yuan.
Other people did not know how to grow Monkey Head Mushrooms. There were very few wild ones. Was it expensive to sell it for 100 catties of rice?
Did they know how much benefit eating a Monkey Head Mushroom had? This was eaten by the Tang Emperors.
Li Longji frowned. "I think that His Majesty does not care about money. Growing mushrooms together is for the people. Brother Yi, think about it. How is it for the people?"
"I think it is to encourage the people to be self-reliant and provide them with ways to improve their quality of life. It solves the problem of sales channels."
Li Yi said seriously.
"Yes, Brother Yi, you have thought it through. I will write a letter to His Majesty. How should we split the profits?"
Li Longji decided to invest. So much money!
Li Yi looked at Li Longji. "His Majesty must have thought about it. For example, 5% of the profits. After all, the main purpose is to make the people … "
"Brother Yi, how can you ask for 5% of the profits if it is too little? 10%. "Li Longji interrupted Li Yi.
"I mean 5% of His Majesty." Li Yi did not back down. The present was not like the past. He was not afraid. Why should he give you so much?
"80%? Alright! "Li Longji said 'half' as' eight '.
"In the future, the money earned here will be given to Wen Tian. I am not short of money."
Li Yi looked at Princess Yongmu again. The money earned from the monkeyhead mushroom farming in Cockscomb Cave would be given to her.
Li Longji also looked at his daughter and sighed. "His Majesty probably only needs to give her a title. Give her 10% of the profits."
He did not want 80% of the profits and changed it to 1%.
His eldest daughter suffered a lot with him when she was young.
After he became the emperor, his life was better. However, he was always at war and could not take out too much money.
Now that his daughter could make money and live a carefree life, he could not compete with her for another business.
Besides, his daughter had no place to spend money. Last time, she supported the soldiers at the border with a large sum of 180,000 yuan.
The soldiers all said that Princess Yongmu was good. He did not want it. He did not want it.
"Brother Yi, where else can we find a cave? If the temperature is about the same, I can arrange it. "
Li Chengqi said. He was smarter. There was no need to fight for Cockscomb Cave. He could find another one.
He could export it. If it was not possible, he could make a cave and a shed. Brother Yi would operate to deceive people. No, to advertise, he would sell the goods.
He would exchange a lot of things for the people to use and increase the country's strength.
"Let me think. There are, there are many caves. It is better to build a cave. It is not easy to live there. "
Li Yi said there were caves, but the temperature was not suitable. Different mushrooms required different environments.
The temperature in the caves in the Loess Plateau was better. Now, the people living in the caves in the Tang dynasty were lacking in economic resources.
