Wang Zheng felt a little toothache after watching this. Zhu Guichen said a little embarrassedly: "Well, I wanted to eat more after eating this thing. I couldn't stop eating it all of a sudden. I didn't notice that I had almost finished it."
"It's okay. I eat it often. If you like it, I will make more. When you leave, you can take some away. You can also learn how to cook. These are common things and easy to make."
When Zhu Guichen left, Wang Zheng not only gave him a bag of crispy meat and cooking instructions, but also gave him a sealed wooden box and asked him to pass it on to Wu Zetian.
A few days after Zhu Guichen left, Luo Wu found Wang Zheng with an angry face.
"You Han people are really going too far."
Wang Zheng was lying in the rocking chair, still fanning himself with a paper fan, without even opening his eyes.
"You Han people are really going too far."
Luo Wu sighed and said, "It was in other places. Those people wanted to get a high price, so they sold the vermicelli to others. As soon as they sold the goods, someone came to collect taxes.

Not only do they charge transaction taxes, but they also charge land taxes, this tax, that tax. Anyway, if you don’t get the last tung nut, you still owe taxes. If you can’t pay, you will be expelled.”
Wang Zheng nodded and said, "No problem, but for so much money, you have to use the official seal."
Ask your people to be patient, or move away from their original place and find another place to live together. I don’t have any solution for now, so let’s talk about it later.”
The manager hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, "Okay, such a big business can indeed be made into a legitimate business."
Luo Wu, who had figured it out, stood up and left. Wang Zheng shouted at his back, "Let them live together, away from the city. It will be safer this way."
One penny per pound of sugarcane is really a sky-high price. Wang Zheng dared to do this only because his income has been good during this period, otherwise he could not afford it at all.
"We just arrived at Jiangxin Island to look for someone, and found that there was martial law over there. After shouting a few times, we found out that you had moved here. We brought back the things as you requested, and they are all suitable for planting. Do you still want them?"
Just to transport the money from Jiangxin Island to the boat, Wang Zheng arranged twenty people, and each of them made several trips.
Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "I have no idea. The people they are targeting now are probably small families. They probably don't dare to attack a large tribe like yours, otherwise it would really be a rebellion by the government.
The news from Chang'an had not yet arrived, but Zhang San brought a piece of news to Wang Zheng that the ship to Lingnan had finally returned and brought back the lychee seedlings that Wang Zheng needed.
The boatman shook his head, and the manager said, "I can't tell you, and don't ask. You can still come to us if you need anything."
Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows. "Sure. As I said, take as many as you can get."
The manager of the official ship directly used a large scale to weigh the money. If he had to count it, I wonder how long it would take to count it?
Luo Wu was obviously stunned for a moment and looked at Wang Zheng in surprise. It was not until this time that he realized that Wang Zheng did not even seem to be an official.
"No one bullies me."
"What should we do? Isn't this the government forcing the people to rebel? You are so smart, can't you help us come up with an idea?"
It has been more than half a year since he left, and Wang Zheng almost forgot about it. It was not easy for him to finally come back.
"I'm not even an official, and you tell me all this, do you think I can reach that far?"
This is probably how the so-called big scale for dividing gold came about.
"Isn't it enough that they have sharp swords and strong armor?"
One thousand strings of coins is not a small sum. One string of coins weighs about ten jin, and one thousand strings of coins weighs four or five tons. You can imagine how much money this is.
It took more than an hour to complete the transaction. Wang Zheng paid several tons of copper coins in exchange for a piece of paper.
Luo Wu was a little disappointed and scratched the back of his head. "Moving is not that easy. How can I just move away from a place I have lived in for such a long time? Besides, why should I do that?"
Wang Zheng thought for a moment and said, "If you can bring me sugarcane before the first month of next year, I will take as much as you can get. The price is negotiable."
Luo Wu thought about it, nodded and said, "That's right, then I'll tell them to move away. It's not easy to live there. Life in the forest is more comfortable."
The leaves of the big fruit-bearing tree have been cleared away, but the few leaves on it are still green, proving that the tree is still alive.
Wang Zheng sighed and said, "Moving isn't that hard. The autumn harvest has already passed. We can take our food and go into the woods. We can find a place to build a bamboo house. That will be our new home. It won't be long before we can collect kudzu powder. We won't be short of food by then. Next year, we can use a two-toothed hoe to open up some wasteland, plant some food and vegetables, and raise some pigs. Won't life be better?"
The boatman is still the same boatman, but the person in charge has changed.
Wang Zheng checked the things and found that they were all in good condition. After paying, he asked one more question, "Why did you come back at this time and change the manager?"
"Then follow me back to Jiangxin Island to get the money."
The manager was silent for a moment, then said, "You need to pay a deposit of 1,000 guan first."
They must live together so that they can be managed centrally. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to do business with them.
About a thousand pounds of sugarcane, a dozen banana seedlings, two pounds of olives, and the rest are lychee and longan seedlings, all planted in large pots.
From this we can see that, although metal currency does maintain its quality, it is indeed not conducive to commercial development.
Wang Zheng still didn't move. Luo Wu twitched his cheeks and muttered, "Why don't you respond?"
The manager immediately asked, "How about one penny per pound?"
However, the status of sugar in this era is slightly higher than that of salt. So it is worth it if you think about it this way. After all, this is for seeds, so it doesn't matter if it costs a little more.
I found a few bamboo tubes and packed the olive, lychee and longan seeds separately.
The banana seedlings, lychee seedlings and longan seedlings are all planted in the bamboo forest. Although the weather is not too hot, they should be avoided from direct exposure to the sun. As long as they are watered more often, they should have no problem surviving.
As long as they can survive, Wang Zheng has a way to help them survive the winter. After a few years and their infancy, they will be able to withstand the cold on their own.
As for the remaining half-grown sugarcanes, Wang Zheng was stumped for a moment. He couldn't plant them, and they weren't very sweet to eat, but it would be a pity to throw them away.
