At the same time, in the Daming Palace, Li Shimin received a phone call.
He picked up the phone and was quite surprised. Generally speaking, no one would dare to call his phone number. Only he would contact others, but no one would contact him.
But today someone called me.
So he picked up.
"Which one?"
Li Shimin's tone was stiff.
It makes people very unhappy to hear it!
But the other party still said:
"You have a courier delivered to Zhuque Gate. When will you pick it up?"
Li Shimin wondered, express delivery?
How can I have express delivery?
Where did the express come from!
"Whose name is on it?"
Li Shimin asked, he had sent something before and knew the recipient's column! "Sir, these are the ladies."
Viewing ladies?
Li Shimin didn't think of who it was for a moment!
At the same time, Queen Changsun passed by.
"I come!"
she whispered.
Li Shimin immediately understood that Ms. Guan was the maidservant of Guanyin and Queen Changsun, and then he gave her the phone number.
she says:
"Express delivery, right? Just wait a moment and I'll have someone pick it up!"
"Okay ma'am!"
Then the phone hung up.
Li Shimin was curious and wanted to ask what it was.
Empress Changsun called for a eunuch.
"You go pick up a courier outside Zhuque Gate and come back, you know? Ask two more people to come together!"
"As you command!"
Wait until the eunuch goes out.
Queen Changsun turned her head.
She took the initiative and said:
"Your Majesty must be curious about what that is, right?"
"Yes, how could something be sent to the palace? What is it?"
"This is Li Zhi's kindness. She said that peaches have been produced recently, and she specially sent some to His Majesty. She wanted His Majesty to taste the peaches from Qingzhou."
"But Mengyin Peach?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he asked directly.
Mengyin peach is very famous. As a treasure of mountain fruits, Mengyin has been abundant in ancient times. As early as the Dawenkou Culture period, the ancestors of Mengyin began to cultivate peaches. In the Mengshan State of the Xia Dynasty and the Zhuanyu State of the Zhou Dynasty, they both set up imperial peach gardens at the northern foot of Mengshan Mountain, which were managed by dedicated personnel. The peaches produced are said in history to be "as big as a bowl, as red as charcoal, and as fragrant as nostrils." They are well-known throughout the world and have become a tribute to the court, a good product for sacrifices, a top choice for entertaining guests, and a treasure for celebrating birthdays.
Generally speaking, even if Li Shimin eats it, he won't eat too much, and it was not easy to transport it before.
It takes a lot of effort to transport some Mengyin peaches into the palace.
But now because of express delivery, as long as you can afford the freight, no matter how much it is, it will be sent to you.
The overall cost is also very low.
"It's Mengyin Peach! How did Your Majesty know?" Queen Changsun asked again.
"Now is the day when peaches are produced in large quantities! In the past, people would bring them to the palace at this time! It was a rare tribute!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"I want to taste it. This peach must be fresh!"
After waiting for about ten minutes, two eunuchs came in from outside.
The two of them were carrying a large sack.
It looks very strenuous!
As soon as they came in, they carefully placed it on the ground.
"open to take a look!"
Li Shimin said.
"yes!"
The two eunuchs opened the sack, revealing peaches as big as bowls.
This peach is really huge! Li Shimin has eaten it before and likes it because it is delicious!
"Take one out and let me see it! Let me see it!"
Li Shimin said.
The eunuch took out the peach and brought it to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, please!"
Li Shimin looked at the big peach. It was still very fresh, as if it had just been picked.
This was impossible to achieve before, but now it actually appears in front of me!
"Come here, wash it and cut it into pieces!"
Li Shimin really knows how to eat.
"yes!"
The eunuch went to work.
When they were picking the peaches, Li Shimin sighed: "It used to be a waste of time and money to eat fruits from far away. Now, as long as you want to eat something, you can have it delivered directly. How convenient it is."
"Yes, this express delivery has really given us a lot of convenience. Shengtang Jiutao did a very good job this time!"
Queen Changsun said.
"By the way, I heard that guy is going to build a railway from Kuizhou to Chang'an. What's going on now?" Li Shimin asked again!
He usually cares about this very much! It’s also because it’s good for you!
"It's already being explored, and it's expected to be built again soon."
Queen Changsun said.
"The future is really connected in all directions."
Li Shimin sighed.
Then he added: "If there is anything else that can be sent to Qingzhou, ask someone to send more things there. Also, if Li Zhi wants anything, you can arrange it."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it."
"By the way, you can take these peaches and share them with the concubines in a moment. Each of you can take one away and let them have a taste!"
"yes!"
After Queen Changsun finished speaking, she added: "By the way, Your Majesty, you can buy seafood from Qingzhou in the market in Chang'an now. Do you want to eat it? If so, I will ask someone to buy some and cook it."
"Is there seafood in Chang'an Market? How did they come? Did it come by express delivery? If so, it doesn't seem cheap. "
"It's run by Min'er himself. He opened a huge seafood market next to the Shengtang Group. There are all kinds of fish and seafood in it. The food is cheap and fresh."
"Self-operated? What does that mean?"
"Listen to them, it's called running your own business, and all income and losses are your own. But from my point of view, it may be true that the balance of payments is true. However, this market has also created a lot of jobs. They are recruiting in Chang'an City Many people have entered the market to work. And for Qingzhou, he has also increased the income of Qingzhou people."
Queen Changsun said so.
"Oh, that's interesting. What about taxes?"
"Not a penny will be lost. I thought he was playing some big game again."
Queen Changsun said so.
Generally speaking, Li Min has thought about everything he does, and he must have thought about it this time, so she made such a guess.
"did you know?"
"I don't know, but I believe he must be like this."
"Forget it, we'll know when the time comes!"
While the two were chatting, the eunuch had already delivered the peach to them.
This peach looks delicious.
Li Shimin was not polite, picked up a piece and started eating it.
"Well, these peaches are much more delicious than the tributes from previous years!"
"Yes, it is true. The tributes in previous years were very small and few!"
While the two were eating, Dai Zhou walked in.
Once you come in, you go out again.
Because he saw the two of them eating and didn't dare to disturb them.
Li Shimin stopped him.
"Dai Zhou, come on, you can try it too!"
How dare Dai Zhou?
He just said: "Your Majesty, something happened! There is something going on with the Shengtang Group!"
Li Shimin put down Taozi on his cell phone.
"What's up?"
