"Childe Li, someone is looking outside."

The life in the farm outside the city is certainly comfortable, but Li Luoyang is a transgressor after all. She is used to living in the metropolis. She can't live in the quiet mountain villa all day. She always has to live in the city for a few days every once in a while. With the help of Wu Xinyi, she has met Lin Luoshui in the Lin family's other courtyard twice, but Wu Xinyi seems to be addicted to her creation recently, Li Luoyang asked her for help several times, but she ignored it.

For Wu Xinyi's attitude, Li Luoyang is powerful and has no place to use. It can be said that he dug a hole and buried himself. Who told him to write the book to Wu Xinyi at the beginning, but people made a lot of money when they didn't find him. Li Luoyang has no intention to complain about others.

Free gunmen or not, or the kind that can write tens of thousands of words a day. Sure, only fools don't. So if Wu Xinyi doesn't go out, Li Luoyang has to hold her nose.

"Who, early in the morning, Yazhu hasn't opened the door yet!"

Li Luoyang is teaching several musicians a new song. As Ouyang Wenjun and yu'er worry, if Wenjun's elegant architecture can't make some tricks, we will soon get tired of those songs, which will certainly affect the turnover. Although the three ingredients of Wenjun Yazhu are no longer in his heart, who wants Li Luoyang to take the medicine of Wenxiang nephrite? It's really not good to be surrounded by a group of flowers.

"Fireworks are easy to cool." you continue to practice this song. I'll come right away. "Recently, Li Luoyang has" copied "his experience. Even his name has been lazily changed. Who makes the songwriter so talented? Even his song name is so antique. Of course, Li Luoyang took the opportunity to be lazy. As soon as he turned around, he saw Ouyang Wenjun, who was still in a daze, and walked over and hit the great beauty's arm: "Who is it?"

"You really don't know?" Ouyang Wenjun woke up, turned his eyes and said, "it's good now. You've recruited my uncle."

"Uncle Guo?"

Of course, the national uncle is the emperor. The surname of this national uncle is Sima, which has nothing to do with the Sima family in the Three Kingdoms. However, because of this surname, there are many folk legends that "everyone knows the heart of Sima family" It's a pity that these rumors are not elegant, because empress Sima has an excellent reputation both in the palace and outside the palace. In the palace, the management is obedient. Outside the palace, she is famous for her kindness, never interferes in politics, and does her best to restrict her family. She will never let her family do things outside with her reputation.

Therefore, Sima's family has little reputation in Chang'an city. Although not everyone dares to bully, they won't take the initiative to provoke anyone. It's the same in Luoyang City. They keep a few kinds of business at home, do business honestly, and keep a low profile like a group of quails.

But no one dares to regard Sima's family as a real quail. They keep a low profile because they are sensible. If you are not sensible, you can provoke them. You can kill you without the Queen's mother's mouth, all civil and military officials and the emperor's majesty.

However, Li Luoyang has never had any contact with Sima's family, so he was still afraid to hear Ouyang Wenjun say so. Why did such a great God come?

My uncle Sima Yingming, the youngest brother of the empress, is 17 years old.

Although the empress is now forty to five, and her royal highness is older than Sima Yingming, she has to honestly call "little uncle" when she sees Sima Yingming. Her identity can be described as quite noble.

It's just that Sima Yingming is not interested in the book of sages. He just likes to make money. Therefore, the older generation of Sima family together, rather than leaving this boy in the University in Chang'an City, it's better to let him go to Luoyang to manage Sima family's students. Anyway, with Sima queen one day, Sima family can't think of anyone who can enter the court as an official, children There's no need to go to school.

It is precisely because the elders of the family hold this idea that Sima Yingming can be "released" in Luoyang City. Nominally, Sima Yingming is in charge of the Sima family's "livelihood" in Luoyang City. In fact, most of the time, Sima Yingming is asked to learn from those shopkeepers.

Because there was a queen in the family, the Sima family often got "official" businesses, such as salt and iron.

Salt and iron in the Wu and Zhou dynasties are two very special commodities. In a sense, salt and iron in this era are like the "nuclear" and "rare earth" of later generations. They are strategic resources. Every time grassland people fight and kill, what do they really want in the Central Plains except land?

Salt and iron. There is no salt on the grassland, so salt is as precious as gold on the grassland. The grassland people can't make iron. If they have an iron pot at home, they will be a great family. If they can fasten a steel knife to their waist, they will definitely be a tyrant of hundreds of cattle and sheep.

Therefore, in the history of China, salt and iron are what ordinary businessmen can't touch. On the one hand, they have high profits. On the other hand, they can't let businessmen who do everything to make money "capital enemies". If they let the grassland get salt and iron without limit, they can't be strong again and attack Wuzhou with iron weapons purchased from businessmen.

Sima family can manage salt and iron. That's because Sima family is a royal relative and has a damaging relationship with the rulers of the Wu and Zhou dynasties. Their management of salt and iron is reassuring to your majesty and the court.

Although they are strategic materials, they are both needed by the common people and have huge profits. Therefore, even though Sima Yingming knows the effect of the advertisement of "ten days news", he has never thought of buying Li Luoyang with a silver ticket. There is no way. Monopoly is profit. Sima family is a monopoly in salt and iron, Only Sima family's firm can sell salt and pig iron in Luoyang.

The relationship between selling pig iron and blacksmith's shop is very complex. For example, Li Chengzhen, if he wants to make iron, he must buy pig iron from Sima family's shop. He can't make it himself. If he makes it himself, he will violate the laws of the imperial court and kill his head.

When buying pig iron, you have to leave a purpose. This purpose can be very general, but it must be, and you have to sign a pledge. Finally, the government can consult the blacksmith's shop at any time. Whether the things he makes are the same as the purpose written when buying pig iron at that time, and whether there are hidden things.

So in fact, in the feudal era, it was very difficult to build a weapon needed by the army.

It was said that uncle Guo came, but Li Luoyang didn't dare to neglect it. He quickly cleaned it up and went to the main hall.

As a country, of course, I want to see tea in the main hall. Although people don't play tricks, Wenjun Yazhu can't help but know the etiquette.

"Cao Min Li Luoyang, see my uncle."
