The new county seat is a prosperous place.
Merchants traveling from north to south are constantly selecting their favorite porcelain, preparing to transport it to other places in exchange for unimaginable money.
However, an army suddenly mixed in among the teams going south and north, which was something no one expected.
A merchant asked a question from a merchant next to him who, although they were both competitors, had frequent dealings with him.
"Brother Liu, look what's going on here? Is it a tribute purchased by the imperial court?"
One businessman asked about his doubts, but the other businessman shook his head.
"I don't know, but they must have their mission during this trip. We just watch them honestly, but no matter we have any contact with them, these people are unreasonable. If we trade with If they come into contact, if they are snatched away, it will be a big trouble."
This businessman was very self-aware and told the crux of the problem right away. The businessmen who hurriedly wanted to come forward to see what was going on were so frightened that they didn't even dare to look at him. They select their own goods and start transporting them towards their destination in exchange for the gold and silver in their minds.
But the more they walked outside, the more curious they became about what happened to these people? Why are there so many carriages next to this army, and they are all loaded with fruits? Even if it's a tribute fruit, there's no need to go to such trouble, right?
According to their understanding, several batches of fast horses carrying luggage were sent to the imperial city as soon as possible.
Are there foreign envoys coming to show off my majesty?
Although everyone was curious, they still didn't dare to say anything more for fear that saying too much would bring disaster to themselves.
However, the rapid departure of these businessmen also made the county town where ceramics were produced feel a bit desolate. Those businessmen who could not help but move out made the local businessmen who could have made a lot of money very troubled.
How will they survive now that everyone is gone?
But just as these merchants were struggling, their big benefactors and regular customers abandoned them one after another, and suddenly some more people stood in front of their stalls.
It looked like this was a man who came out of that Dakang army. Although he was not wearing a battle armor, with his tight-fitting clothes and a knife on his waist, he didn't look like an ordinary person.
The few people standing there were quite impressive, and they stunned all the businessmen.
"You guys don't know what you need?"
Finally, one person came up boldly and asked the gentlemen in front of them what they needed.
Seeing the group of high-status people approaching, these porcelain merchants were very cautious in serving them, so as not to accidentally ignite the anger in their hearts and overturn the stall in front of them.
The most fearful thing about porcelain is bumps and bumps. Good porcelain will become scraps if it is bumped casually. Either a corner is missing or cracks appear. This is something these porcelain merchants cannot bear.
But what these businessmen didn't expect was that as soon as he asked the military masters in front of him what they wanted, the people in the ranks immediately pointed at the bottles and cans in front of them and asked the adults behind them how they liked them.
Liang An spoke very naturally after they asked.
"It's too big. We need to find something smaller and stronger. Otherwise, it's so big that it will be easily destroyed if we put all the fruits in it."
Liang An explained that in order to let the soldiers around him understand what kind of items he was talking about, he even stepped forward and picked up a few jars and jars.
"That's it. This is the only way it's useful."
Looking at these jars and jars that were just pickles, the corners of the mouths of the soldiers who bought them twitched, but they still followed Liang Anfu's instructions and started to select such jars and jars.
When hundreds of pots and pans appeared in front of Liang An, the four princes in the team, no, even though one of the five princes couldn't stop eating fruit, he felt a little regretful that his stomach was filled with food, but he still quickly got there. After solving his own troubles, he ran forward to see what it was like, which made his brother Liang miss him.
When he saw something like these pickle jars, Meng Guangyi looked at Liang An in confusion.
"Brother Liang, do you want us to pickle all the fruits into pickles? I've heard of pickling apples and pickling radishes, but is there really nothing wrong with pickling oranges?"
After Meng Guangyi said these words, everyone suddenly realized that it turned out to be that. No wonder it is not easy to find some thick-skinned fruits to put them in. Isn’t it necessary to find some strong containers for pickling?
If the container is not up to standard, the accident will still be on your side, and it is not wonderful to waste food.
However, seeing that everyone thought he was going to make pickles from the fruits, Liang An shook his head helplessly and had to take them back to the camp with these jars and jars to temporarily demonstrate to them how the cans were made.
As Liang An washed the fruits, dried the water on the skin, cut them into pieces, put them into the jars that were also washed and dried, and began to add fresh spring water to steam and boil them, which made everyone very unhappy. untie.
After all the jars and jars were finally sealed, Liang An waved his hand and said, "That's it. I think it should be able to be put away in half a year."
As soon as he heard that there was no problem for half a year, Meng Guangyi came to Liang An even more frightened.
"Brother Liang, are you telling the truth?"
"It's true. Is this still false?"
Meng Guangyi looked at Liang An carefully.
"Brother Liang, if this is true, you will have made an unparalleled contribution to our navy and our troops who are working hard on expeditions!"
Well?
Although Liang An didn't understand it for a moment, he understood it after thinking about it.
The naval expedition has such a way to store food, and it can last for half a year without frequent replenishment. The labor expedition can have such food to adjust the taste, which is also a good item to relieve the fatigue of the clan and make the soldiers fight for the country attentively. Then Liang Liang An looked at Meng Guangyi.
"Brother Meng, only we can know about this. We must not let the enemy know about it."
"clear!"
Liang An told Meng Guangyi without thinking, and Meng Guangyi also knew the priority of the matter and hurriedly gave the order to keep silent. Xiao Feng was about to use such things to store his own fruits and wait until there were no more fruits before selling them or making money to buy them at the right time, but the final result did not satisfy Xiao Feng.
There is simply no ability to make such pots and pans, which are military rations!
I have no choice but to serve carefully and complain that I bought too much.
"I don't know if these oranges can be transported back to the north, but I don't want problems to happen on the way."
The north that Xiao Feng mentioned was not the real north of Dakang, but the north where they were located.
Liang An comforted him.
"It doesn't matter, we are traveling north along the road, and when we encounter a place without oranges, we can just sell some oranges. Maybe we don't have to wait until we get home, the oranges are all sold out, and you may replace it with other goods to transport along the way. When we go to our hometown, we can also make a lot of money.”
Liang An comforted him and continued to move forward, but at a fork in the road, Meng Guangyi made a surprising statement.
"Why don't Brother Liang go to Luoyang with us? You don't have to go home. After you go to Luoyang and settle down, you can arrange for someone to take your relatives to Luoyang."
Meng Guangyi suddenly proposed to part ways, which puzzled Liang An. The four Guiyi barons of the Liang family who were standing next to him also knew very well that this was going well, so why did they suddenly part ways?
As the lieutenant general, Li Chun, who should be familiar with the road, hurriedly began to explain.
They initially went to Haizhou with the escort Brown Bear because they had to escort a minister, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. They escorted him along the way and then transferred to Zhennanguan.
But now that they have encountered so many things when they come here, they have to return as soon as possible. There is a river in front of this place, and you can go upstream directly to Luoyang.
However, after Li Chungang finished explaining, he still invited Liang An like Meng Guangyi to see if An was free and went with them to Luoyang.
But Liang An shook his head.
"You kind-hearted brothers understand this, but I haven't received your majesty's order to go to Luoyang. I'd better wait in my hometown honestly."
