The sky was clear, but the large clouds in the sky occasionally blocked the sunlight.
Li Longji and the others had indeed not eaten breakfast. When the group arrived, it was already ten in the morning.
When they arrived, everyone was stunned. No matter how they looked at it, it felt familiar. Wasn't this the Li Family Zhuangzi?
They could see that the layout of this place was the same as the Li Family Zhuangzi beside the Ba River. The location of the courtyard and the situation of the ground were the same.
"Wash your hands and eat. I originally didn't prepare too much food, but I made it on the spot. There's not much, so please help yourselves. "
Li Yi said with a smile. He knew the situation. They were used to living in the Li Family Zhuangzi and couldn't adapt to a new place.
Luoyang Palace's Ziwei City was smaller than the imperial city of Chang 'an, so there were no farmers running around.
In addition, it had rained yesterday to arrest people and investigate people.
When they saw that even the food had changed, they couldn't control their temper.
For example, Old Bi didn't just want a few dozen dishes. He was angry and wanted to find a reason to vent his anger.
The others weren't in a good state either. The familiar layout of the palace reminded them of the past.
The imperial palace was dead, but the Li Family Zhuangzi was alive.
"Xiao Yi, is it the same in the distance?" As expected, Bi Goo's mood improved.
"In any case, you won't find the Pure Flowers Palace. It's just a small place that imitates the original Li Family Zhuangzi beside the Ba River."
Li Yi pointed to the east and west, but couldn't find any similarities.
"It's really sumptuous. This old man will eat spicy soup and pies. The Shangshi Bureau doesn't even know how to make pies." Bi Goo chose to eat good food.
In reality, he was planning to eat steamed buns, but after thinking about it, wouldn't it be the same as in the palace? No, the Shangshi Bureau didn't have it.
"That's right, the Shangshi Bureau doesn't know how to make stir-fried dishes." Lu Huaishen saw the stir-fried dishes and also found the Shangshi Bureau's problem.
"The Shangshi Bureau has arranged breakfast for you. It's now past ten. Drink some water and your digestive system is active. I'll make some stir-fried dishes."
Li Yi spoke up for the Shangshi Bureau. Now, the Shangshi Bureau was learning how to cook from the Li Family Zhuangzi, and the dishes tasted the same.
Whatever dish the Li Family Zhuangzi created, the Shangshi Agency would copy that dish. Whenever the Li Family Zhuangzi created a new dish, the Shangshi Agency would have one more dish in its menu.
If the Shangshi Department did not research new dishes and did not dare to do so, who would be responsible if there were any problems?
They came up with an idea to let the Li Family Zhuangzi's people see if they could make a certain dish. If they succeeded, they would be very happy.
The ability of the Shangshi Bureau was not bad. When His Majesty asked for a bowl of lotus seed soup, the Shangshi Bureau made it to His Majesty's favorite flavor.
Empress Wang said to eat lotus seed soup, which was Empress Wang's habit.
"Stewed Crab Pumpkin is delicious. This is the second time I've eaten it. The first time was in Zhuangzi, Chang 'an. Eh? Is there something missing? "
Su Yi scooped a bowl of stewed crab pumpkin for himself. He looked around and felt that it was still different from Zhuangzi's.
"Yes, the children will come over by train in two days."
Li Yi said with a smile. There was a group of children in Zhuangzi's.
Due to the different age groups, there would always be children of different ages in some places.
The children were well-nourished, wore beautiful clothes, and cleaned up well.
The three or four-year-old children played together and squatted there to look at a bug for a long time.
The key point was that the children could also mutter words that the adults could not understand and communicate with each other.
"Yes, it's not lively without children." Zhang Jiuling scooped a bowl of rice and ate a normal lunch. He drank a lot of water in the morning.
"Students from all over the country are rushing to Luoyang. The ones in Chang 'an will take the train. The ones further west are still on the way. Postpone the student banquet." Song Jing suggested.
"No, let as many as there are. When there are more people later, hold another student banquet."
Li Yi had a way. Who set the rule that the student banquet could only be held once?
This time, they sold crabs. What else could they sell next time?
If they waited for another two months, the crabs would not be delicious anymore.
Now was a good time to eat female crabs. After a month, they would eat male crabs.
"When the students finish writing poems about eating crabs, choose the good ones and print them in the newspaper and send them to the place where the crabs are produced."
Li Yi explained why he was in a hurry to hold the student banquet. It had nothing to do with him selling crabs.
He could earn money or not. His goal was to earn money from the people of the various lakes.
It was said that the big lakes had crabs, but in fact, the small lakes also had crabs, just that the production was low.
The people by the lake did not mind that there were not enough crabs. They fished them out and sold them for money, increasing their income more than usual.
"Brother Yi, where's Yuan Yuan? Ah! Where's Wen Tian? "Li Longji looked around. Why didn't he see his eldest daughter?
"She and Xiao Lan went out … and came back." Li Yi saw Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan appear.
The two of them looked tired and depressed.
Li Longji glanced at Li Yi and asked his daughter, "Where did you go?"
"I'm buying a house to build Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion. It's too expensive. I heard that a house that was only worth 200 taels a few days ago has become 600 taels today. The shop I want to buy is big, sigh! "
Princess Yongmu's face was filled with worry, and she actually raised the price multiple times.
"When Her Majesty came, the Li Family Zhuangzi expanded. They naturally think that everyone's income has increased."
Li Yi said as he pulled Princess Yongmu's hand, "Go wash your hands. You've been walking around for so long. It's time to eat."
"I should have bought it earlier." Xiao Lan muttered.
The two of them went to clean up. Li Longji's eyes widened, "How can there be no house? Tear down the temple. "
He was decisive. His daughter's Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion was going to open. The Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion in Xiaoluonan Village 30 miles to the south did not count. There must be one in Luoyang Palace.
It was close to the train station and Luo River, so it was easy to do business.
"Under normal circumstances, you can't tear down the temple." Li Yi refused.
"It's unusual that Wen Tian doesn't have a shop in Luoyang Palace."
Li Longji didn't care about anything else. His daughter was happy all day. How could she suddenly be unhappy?
Empress Wang said from the side, "Wen Tian only thinks that it's expensive. She can afford it. Uncle has an idea. Let Wen Tian buy a good location at a low price. "
"Yes!" Li Longji stared at Li Yi. Why don't you care about your wife's matters?
"It's good that the price of houses is increased. Buying and selling houses requires taxes. People who can buy shops in Luoyang are rich."
Li Yi looked at Bi Goo and said. Houses were expensive, so they should collect more taxes.
"Get a shop for Wen Tian first." Bi Goo didn't fall for it. The topic of discussion now was Princess Yongmu. Why are you talking about taxes with me?
"A shop is simple. Even in Ziwei City, as long as I want to, I guarantee that I have a reason to open a Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion. Everyone will think that it's reasonable and should be opened.
Chang 'an has two cities in the east and west. Luoyang is divided into two cities in the north and south. Which city in Chang' an is the most profitable? Old Bi. "
Li Yi wasn't worried. He compared the market situation of the two cities.
"Of course … the south of Chang 'an is the most profitable. A large area is yours. The other areas are under the control of the imperial court."
Bi Goo wanted to say the east market, but he suddenly realized that it wasn't right.
The Li Family Zhuangzi street in the south paid more taxes than the east and west combined. The more taxes there were, the higher the turnover.
"Uncle, you want to do real estate around Luoyang Palace?" Empress Wang skillfully used the new term.
"I'll buy the bad land around Luoyang Palace and build roads and buses. I'll use the land there to replace the good locations in Luoyang Palace. Wen Tian will feel better."
Li Yi admitted. That's right. I plan to do that.
Is your price increase more, or is it higher if I just find a place to do business?
