After all the trouble, Wenying finally made an appointment with Wang Fugui to have dinner with her.

As the owner of the largest fruit shop in the West Market, Wenying is quite well-informed.

In the past few days, the price of peaches, which was originally falling, has actually started to rise.

There are even cases where some fruit shops cannot purchase enough peaches.

Along with other fruit prices, prices have also stabilized.

Wenying made some inquiries and found out the role that the canning workshop played in it.

"Shopkeeper Wang, please try some of Dude's new salt-baked conches. The taste is very special."

Wenying tried her best to keep the smile on her face from looking so flattering.

As a fruit merchant, both parties knew exactly what he wanted to do with Wang Fugui.

Of course, Wang Fugui would agree to go out for this meal, so it is not really a bad meal.

In Chang'an City, there were not even one thousand but eight hundred merchants who wanted to treat Wang Fugui to dinner.

The demand for fruits in canning workshops is very huge. If there is a professional fruit merchant who is willing to coordinate in the middle, Wang Fugui thinks that it is not impossible for him to earn a little difference. After all, this kind of cooperation is not the same as when he first arranged people to go to the West Market.

Purchasing fruit is not the same thing at all.

In that kind of procurement, the price of fruits is very high, but it is different to find a middleman to deal with farmers and let him earn some hard work.

After all, there is a cost to purchasing fruits yourself.

It is not a better choice to leave this work to professionals.

Leave professional matters to professionals.

This is something Li Kuan has often said recently. Wang Fugui feels that finding a professional partner for the canning factory is in line with Li Kuan's instructions.

"Shopkeeper Wen, we are all busy people, so I will keep the story short."

Wang Fugui talked while eating.

Nowadays, he no longer needs to consider the feelings of other businessmen too much, he can just say what he wants.

"Shopkeeper Wang, please give me instructions."

"If you want to cooperate, it's not impossible. Canneries have a huge demand for peaches, apples, pears and other fruits. If you can provide these fruits stably in the long term and at the right price, then leave this matter to

Of course it’s okay for you to do it. But, I want to know how you can ensure that this is done?”

Wang Fugui now values ​​stable supply more than price.

Especially facing the future, the output of canning workshops will definitely continue to increase. The amount of fruit needed by then will definitely not be satisfied by a few farmers just planting a few fruit trees.

"Shopkeeper Wang, this is what I think about. Nowadays, the planting of various fruit trees around Chang'an City is most concentrated in Peach Village. So I want to choose two to three villages for each fruit and focus on supporting them.

For large-scale planting, we have made an agreement with these farmers in advance and will purchase their fruits uniformly."

Before Wenying came to see Wang Fugui, she naturally did some work and had a certain understanding of the needs of the canning workshop.

As the largest fruit merchant in the West City, he naturally knew everything about the cannery's purchase of peaches from Peach Village.

She even met with Shui Ergui yesterday and learned in detail about the transaction between Peach Village and the canning factory.

"Your idea is not bad. When His Royal Highness the King of Chu first inspected the cannery, he mentioned the term fruit planting base. If you can develop more fruit planting bases, it is really possible to provide a stable supply of fruits. But I think

Listen, how do you develop these villages?"

Wang Fugui had a smile on his face after hearing Wenying's words.

This Wenying is quite capable, and he found the key to the problem as soon as he opened his mouth.

"That's what I think. Over the years, my guys have basically established contact with the villagers who grow fruits nearby. Which place produces the best fruits and which villagers are more interested in expanding the scale of planting? Basically, the guys have their own minds.

Countless.

After I went back, I personally took my workers to some of the selected villages, communicated with the local village leaders and village chiefs to see how determined everyone was, and then selected the best to build a fruit base. In order to relieve the villagers' worries, I

Prepare to provide guarantees to villages in need and borrow a batch of silver coins from the Royal Bank of the Tang Dynasty to expand the scale of fruit tree planting.

I heard that the Agricultural College of Guanshishan Academy has also been cultivating some new fruit seedlings in recent years. I will work with them to promote the planting of new and improved fruit seedlings, and also invite students from the Agricultural College to the fruit tree base.

Guide us to expand fruit production as quickly as possible to meet the needs of canning workshops."

Wenying said while watching Wang Fugui's reaction.

That day, I found that Wang Fugui began to smile on his face, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He came up with a brilliant idea to cooperate with the Agricultural College of Guanshishan Academy.

Now it seems that it is indeed the right choice.

"Your idea is very good. His Royal Highness the King of Chu also mentioned some similar views in his previous lectures at the Agricultural College. To plant fruit trees on a large scale, the selection of seedlings is very critical.

Otherwise, the fruits produced will not taste good, and the yield will not meet expectations, which will eventually dampen farmers' enthusiasm for planting. Well, you can communicate the details with the shopkeeper of the canning workshop. If there are no problems, the canning workshop will

I’ll leave it to you to handle the fruit purchasing.”

Wang Fugui felt that this was a good example of the application of the research results of the Agricultural College, and he could report it to Li Kuan.

How to apply the research results of the academy to real life is an issue that Li Kuan pays more and more attention to.

Wang Fugui naturally knew this very well.

Wenying's accidental behavior laid a foundation for the development of industry, academia and research in the Agricultural College.

…

Almost half of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan has passed, and overall things are going smoothly.

Although there was an invasion by the Xue Yantuo people, it was successfully resolved in a short period of time.

Although the outgoing army is still roaming the grasslands, it has no harm to the overall situation.

At today's court meeting, the Ministry of Revenue and other ministries made some reports on some situations in the first half of the year. A rare peaceful and tranquil situation appeared at the court meeting.

After the court meeting, Li Shimin continued to keep Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Cen Wenwen and other ministers in the Xuanzheng Hall to discuss some arrangements for the second half of the year.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has received a detailed report on the bumper harvest of early rice in Shannan Province. It won't be long before similar news comes from Jiangnan Province. With the bumper harvest of early rice, even the harvest of wheat and corn in Guanzhong

It hasn’t gotten better, so we in the Tang Dynasty don’t have to worry about lack of food.”

Fang Xuanling has gray hair on her temples. She has obviously put in a lot of hard work in the past few years.

However, seeing the current prosperous situation in Datang, he finally had a smile on his face.

"I heard that the cotton planting situation on Hedong Road is also very good. The cotton fields are growing better than everyone expected."

Wei Zheng also rarely put away his bitter face, smiled and said something that everyone felt comfortable hearing.

Everyone among the ministers present has a cotton field near Shuozhou. The situation in these cotton fields is ideal, and naturally everyone wants to see a hungry situation.

"Thanks to His Majesty's hard work, the Tang Dynasty is now in good weather. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation are much better than in previous years. This is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty."

Changsun Wuji lost no time in flattering him.

Li Shimin stroked his short beard with a smile on his face.

As expected, I am the most suitable candidate to lead Datang to prosperity.

It would be great if my father was still alive.

Inexplicably, Li Shimin thought of the scene in front of Xuanwu Gate.

"Your Majesty, Li Chunfeng, a general from the Taishi Bureau, urgently requests an audience."

At this moment, a young eunuch came to Li Shimin.

As a relatively low-ranking Taishi Bureau official, Li Chunfeng was not qualified to serve in court except during court meetings.

Normally, Li Shimin would call him over to ask if he had any needs.

It's very rare for him to take the initiative to find me.

'However, considering the special responsibilities of the Taishi Bureau, Li Shimin summoned him immediately.

"Your Majesty, there may be something ominous about the comet coming out in the east. I have been observing the sky at night since last night, but unexpectedly discovered that after many years, a comet appeared in the east. Our Tang Dynasty is now peaceful and peaceful, and this comet suddenly

If you show up, I'm afraid there are demons causing trouble."

As soon as Li Chunfeng opened his mouth, everyone was silenced.

There is a sentence in "Huainanzi·Bingluexun", which is an early description of the appearance of comets.

When King Wu attacked Zhou, he went to the east to welcome the new year. When he came to Si, he came to the water. When he came to Gongtou, he fell down. A comet came out and gave the people of Yin its handle.

In this year, King Wu of Zhou rebelled and overthrew the Shang Dynasty.

In addition, the shape of a comet is like a broom, so it has always been regarded as a broom star among the people.

So every time a comet appears, it causes some waves.

"Your Majesty, during the reign of Qin Shihuang, comets appeared many times. In the seventh year, the comet appeared in the east and saw the north, and in the fifth month it saw the west. As a result, the general of the Qin Dynasty was lost, and then the Queen Mother Xia Jixia, the grandmother of the first emperor, was confused again.

.Throughout the dynasties, when comets appeared, nothing good happened. It was either rebellion or the death of important ministers. Your Majesty needs to make plans in advance."

Li Chunfeng saw that no one spoke, so he said a few words to himself.
