"They're collecting wormwood. The Li Family Zhuangzi is collecting wormwood." The people who received the newspaper today first read the story, then read the general knowledge of life.
It also introduced the cooperation between the Tang dynasty's Team Dai and the Ministry of Works.
After reading further, there was a short paragraph: "From today onwards, the Li Family Zhuangzi of Baishui will buy wormwood at a high price, regardless of species. The more, the better."
When he saw this paragraph, he shouted out loudly.
When the others heard this, they all went forward to inquire.
Not long after, many people in Chang 'an ran out to look for wormwood. It was the Dragon Boat Festival, and wormwood was most effective at this time.
In Lantian County, a carriage arrived. The person on the carriage shouted: "Newspaper, Chang 'an's newspaper, today's new newspaper, we will send it to everyone every day in the future."
The counties around the capital already knew that the newspaper was coming out. Some people even brought a few back from Chang 'an.
The rich families and scholars in the county borrowed the newspaper from the people who brought it back, and some directly copied it.
It was just that the distance was long, and they couldn't personally go to Chang 'an to buy a newspaper.
Now that they heard that there were people who specially sent it to them, the people next to the carriage ran over.
"Is the price still three coins? We can pay five coins. "A person dressed like a scholar took out five copper coins.
"Three coins, the price will not change. In the future, there will be a carriage delivering the newspaper early in the morning. Lantian County is the closest, so we will send 500 copies first.
If it's not enough, we will increase the number. Don't be anxious, don't buy it and sell it at a higher price. "
The people in Zhuangzi set the price and introduced the situation after tomorrow.
The people in Lantian County were happy and paid for it.
The scholars generously read it to the illiterate people. The rich families bought it and ran back to Dongzhu.
In other counties, as the carriage arrived, the situation in Lantian County was repeated.
"Quickly go and pick wormwood. The newspaper said that they are buying in large quantities, and the price is high."
The people who read the newspaper read it out, and the people asked each other to cut the wormwood.
The next day, the people who sent tea leaves were all bundles of wormwood.
"Go, ask those 30 imperial physicians to lead the farmers to separate the wormwood into different types. Don't mix them together. Wormwood is the best for making moxa sticks."
Li Yi did not move. Wasn't there an imperial physician around? It just so happened that the fifty Zhuangzi nurses could learn from him.
While Zhuangzi was working hard to harvest the wormwood, the people of the Chamberlain of Dependencies were sighing.
"Why don't you rent us a house? We've already offered a very high price. "
When the Turkic people smelled the nauseating stench of ink, they couldn't raise their spirits at all.
When he first smelled it, he thought that it smelled good. But after spending all day with the same smell, he felt dizzy.
They didn't know that the people from the Li Family Zhuangzi Printing Workshop were wearing masks and taking turns to enter.
"I also couldn't rent a house on my side. When they heard that we were the ones renting, the other party rejected us. The sharp-toothed people didn't dare to accept." Another Turk covered his mouth with his sleeve as he spoke.
Unfortunately, his clothes were full of the stench of ink and couldn't block it at all.
"We can't wait any longer. According to the people we sent out, other than the hot air balloon in the palace, the Li Family Zhuangzi has made a new one.
So far, there are a total of seven hot air balloons in use.
I also heard that the Imperial Works Supervisor and the Ministry of Finance are working together to make them.
It won't be long before a large number of hot air balloons appear and are transported to the border.
Everyone, once the Tang Dynasty uses the hot air balloons to achieve victory, the Tang Dynasty's attitude towards the outside world will definitely change. "
The Tubo people spoke of the seriousness of the matter. The production of the hot air balloons was too fast.
Tubo was the most dangerous. Tubo had cities, farmlands, and workshops.
The Turkic tribes on the grasslands could run if they couldn't win. Their cavalry was fast and could move whenever they wanted.
Tubo could be occupied and built into the Tang Dynasty's cities.
In addition, Tubo coerced many small tribes to help Tubo fight against the Tang Dynasty. When targeting the ten Turkic families, they attacked endlessly.
Many of the ten Turkic families were forced to side with the Tang Dynasty. The other courtyards of the Honglu Temple were occupied by the envoys of the ten Turkic families.
The alliance was not stable enough and would break up easily. Moreover, they would turn around and become enemies.
"What's the arrangement?" A Turkic man made up his mind.
"Choose good people to go. The back is not good, and the Imperial Plantation is even worse. We can only enter through the Ba River. Choose good swimmers and swim upstream and downstream at night.
But we don't know the location of the workshop that makes the hot air balloons. I heard that there are many workshops in Zhuangzi, and there are people patrolling. "
The Tubo people began to analyze and deploy. They chose to go by water, but the difficulty was that they couldn't determine the location.
"Why don't we just catch someone and ask?" Another Tubo man sneered.
"Go outside the city and find someone. It will be very troublesome if we are caught." The Tubo man lowered his voice.
What he meant was that Tubo would send people first, and then everyone else would prepare. If they succeeded the first time, they would find a way to send the information away.
If the first time didn't work, the other party would be prepared, and they would have to organize a second time and send more people.
Everyone nodded in support.
At noon, a group of Tubo people wandered around Xi City. They first tasted snacks, then looked at other goods.
When they saw something they liked, they haggled with the seller and bought it.
After eating and shopping, they went to the place where livestock were sold.
They looked at the cows and horses and asked about the price. They seemed to be considering how much profit they could make if they took Tubo's cows and horses.
They also helped others to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the horses. They looked like experts.
When the group returned, it was still the same people, but one of them had changed.
He was not a person who went out, but a man who brought three horses to sell in Xi City.
This man was also Tubo people. It was easy to tell from his appearance.
There were many foreigners in Chang 'an of the Tang Dynasty. They did all kinds of business and acted as translators.
There was a place where horses were sold in Xi City. Some people did not have horses themselves, so they looked after the livestock for others to earn commission.
Even if the livestock was sick, these people could help take a look at it and write a prescription for it.
When it was almost dark, the man who sold the horses led them out of the city gate. He drove the three horses to the west.
After walking for a while, the sky was completely dark. He got on the horse and led the other two horses to gallop away.
At a fork in the road, he turned north. North was Xianyang County.
After more than half an hour, he arrived at Xianyang County. He did not go into the county. There was a ruined temple on the mountain next to it.
In the past, people would come to this temple to burn incense or to stay overnight.
But later, there was a rumor that there was something unclean in this temple. The old people's children stayed there for a night and never went back.
There was also a rumor that at night, there would be the sound of a woman crying. After listening for a long time, people would follow the sound of the crying and be fascinated.
After a long time, people talked less about this ruined temple, not to mention going there at night.
The man on horseback went to the temple. When he reached a place where he could not ride a horse, he would stop and lead the horse.
The sound of hooves could be heard. When he entered the ruined temple, he did not see anyone.
He took out a small bag from his chest and put it under the altar for burning incense. Then he turned and left.
After a quarter of an hour, a figure appeared. He ran to the altar and quickly took out the thing under it. Then he disappeared.
