The First Family of Tang Dynasty

The eldest Princess Tong'an looked at this solemn, unsmiling emperor's nephew.

Except for the first time, he smiled a little at himself, and stood there looking like no one was willing to answer.

I began to feel a little uneasy in my heart, but unfortunately, the sound of the war drums made me unable to speak even if I was looking for a topic.

What's more, the eldest princess Tong'an didn't feel that she was at fault. Her own servant was beaten to death by the **** Cheng Sanlang. Governor Gu looked at Li Dabao smilingly pushing the wooden box in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh.

"I said, Brother Dabao, what are you doing? Is there any difficulty? Just speak up. Why did you and I have to be so hypocritical before?"

Li Dabao laughed, patted the wooden box and said.

"No, no, Governor, this is nothing else. This is the harvest of our Han and Tang Commercial Bank's pepper garden. I will send you some to try it out."

"Pepper is done?" Gu Dadu glanced at Li Dabao in front of him in amazement, lowered his head and looked at the wooden box.

"That's right, it's been three years, and I finally saw the harvest, but this year's harvest is not good, and only eighty pounds of white pepper can be produced per acre of land."

Gu Da slowly opened the wooden box, looked at the white pepper inside, and subconsciously closed the lid again.

Some nervously looking around, there is no way, as a rough man from the military, he came to Jiaozhou, a place where birds don't shit.

Bribery is really not much, and it is easy to get nervous.

In particular, it is white pepper, a medicine and spice that is almost equivalent to gold in Chang'an.

Gu Da glanced at the box full of white pepper again in disbelief, and then muttered.

"Twenty catties... One acre of land can yield eighty catties of white pepper?"

"That's right, that's right, your boss has three shares in the Han and Tang firms. This time, he can get about 4,616 catties of pepper."

"Mr. Li came over today. First, he will bring some peppers grown by himself to the Governor for you to taste. Come on."

"The four thousand catties of pepper, are you going to send it to Chang'an directly to the Governor, or do you keep it here?"

Gu Da gritted his teeth, more than 4,600 catties of pepper, if it were in Chang'an, it would be tens of thousands of dollars of wealth.

stay here? No, no, no, why do you keep so much? Might as well send it back.

"Let's go, leave the odds, four thousand catties of pepper, I'll ask you to help me send it back to Chang'an."

"My dear, this time, your Han and Tang dynasties are really developed..."

"What the Governor said is wrong, don't forget, your boss is also a shareholder in the Han and Tang business, so it is our Han and Tang business that is right."

"Hahaha... Gu Mou made a blunder, and Gu Mou punished himself for a cup."

Gu Da raised his neck and drained the wine in front of him in one gulp.

"Originally, I thought that those young people were making trouble, that is, making trouble, mainly because of this field."

"In the end, I never thought that they actually planted pepper. Gu also knew a thing or two about the price of pepper in Chang'an.

Thousands of acres of pepper are actually grown here, and even if the old man becomes an official in the future, he can safely become a rich man. "

"The Governor's words are too bad. I can't wait for the Governor to stay in this position for a few more years."

Hearing this, Gu Da couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey... Gu also thought about it, but some people are not willing to let the Governor continue to stay here."

Li Dabao stroked his long beard with a smile.

"Captain, do you really think that just those aristocratic families can really shake your position in Jiaozhou?"

"I also ask the Governor to continue to stay in peace."

Gu Dajian raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Dabao, and asked seriously.

"Is there any basis for what Brother Dabao said?"

"Don't forget, Commander-in-Chief, behind the Han and Tang Commercial Banks, not only the martial and noble families of the Tang Dynasty, but also His Majesty."

"The memorial of the great governor is coming to Chang'an soon, and the letters sent by the stewards to the masters of each family should be almost there..."

"Those noble families are only for their own selfishness, and what the Great Governor is considering is His Majesty's long-term strategy to communicate with the state, and it is obvious at a glance."

"Hearing what you said, brother, Gu Mou felt much more at ease."

"Nowadays, among the fields purchased by the aristocratic families, several of them only plant a small amount of three seasons, and the other fields simply don't plant anything at all.

Alas... Gu Mou and Deng Zhizhou discussed repeatedly many times, but they were helpless. "

"After all, as long as they can pay enough land taxes, this official can't do anything to them."

"However, there are a few that grow sugar cane..."

"Can't you see it, the Governor? Most of the aristocratic families in Guanzhong and Central Plains honestly follow your wishes. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

"And the attitude of the Shandong family is more ambiguous, only those Jiangnan families far away from the center..."

Even though it was only the two of them in this room, the voices of the two of them talking were getting lower and lower.

Gu Da personally sent Li Dabao outside the house and watched the old brother who had known each other for many years walk away quickly.

Then he staggered back into the room, picked up the jug in front of him, shook it, and shouted unwillingly.

Let someone bring a pot of fine wine, and then fill it up again, and drink a glass with joy.

He opened the heavy wooden box again, grabbed a handful of pepper, brought it to his nose and took a deep breath.

Gu Da knew that no one had ever grown the precious spice like pepper in this Jiaozhou area.

At that time, I heard that these gang of young people had come up with some Han and Tang business houses to plant pepper, and they just thought it was a gang of young people fooling around.

And the gang of military officials of the Tang Dynasty, taking the opportunity to send people to Jiaozhou to buy land on a large scale is the foundation.

In addition, after the Han and Tang firms bought the ten thousand mu of mountain forest, there was no movement for several years, and Gu Da was about to forget about it.

As a result, today was the pepper delivered by Li Dabao, so Governor Gu knew that it was no joke to plant pepper.

His own son also owns three shares in this Han and Tang Dynasty business, and just three shares in 10% of the pepper production are enough to be worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Thinking of the income and dividends in the future, Governor Gu couldn't help drinking another glass of wine.

With the Han and Tang dynasties, as well as the family of martial arts, they also involved the tough background of the prince and the princess.

This money, as long as the Han and Tang dynasties exist, can continue to make money.

It was heard that the Han and Tang dynasties were again in Liangzhou in the northwest, and received hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland as a reward from His Majesty to plant cotton to make white folded cloth.
