Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 574

Just when Sujiazhuang was drinking and drinking, the news of the spices from the forty carriages had already fermented in Chang'an City.

The battle of more than forty carriages was too big, and there were many people on that long street. Many people saw it with their own eyes. The Ankang County Lord sent people to ship back dozens of carriages of spices!

That's spice!

O precious and luxurious spices!

It is not something that ordinary people can expect at all.

Even if it is a small rich family, few people are willing to buy spices, even if they buy it extravagantly, they only buy a few taels.

Only big families are willing to buy by the catty!

The one who can really afford spices is the noble family in Chang'an City!

Therefore, the value of the spices for forty carriages is simply incalculable, and everyone who heard it was dumbfounded, and couldn't even imagine how much it was worth!

It's really hard to believe!

Those who saw it with their own eyes, when they told others, others were dumbfounded, and their faces were full of suspicion.

"This is impossible, spices in dozens of carriages? How is it possible? Do you know how precious spices are?"

"Really! It's really spices from dozens of carriages!"

"You must have heard it wrong. It must be a few carriages, but you heard dozens of carriages!"

"I saw with my own eyes that there were dozens of carriages lined up all over the place!"

"Then do you see that the carriage is full of spices?"

"Well, that's right. However, the spices originally came from outside the Tang Dynasty. With the magic of Ankang County Duke, it is not impossible to send people to find so many spices?"

"That's right, since he is from the Ankang County Government, it might be true!"

"It's true, it's absolutely true. It's impossible for people in the Ankang County Government to lie, and I'm not mistaken. There are really dozens of spices in carriages!"

"Whether it is true or not, we will know soon, and I believe the news will spread soon!"

When the news was still circulating on this street, Li Shimin had already received the news. After all, dozens of carriages appeared all at once. This battle was too big!

Moreover, these dozens of carriages are still the carriages in Su Cheng's mansion. Li Shimin has always been very concerned about Su Cheng, always paying attention to whether he has come up with any good things.

The people of Chang'an would doubt whether those carriages contained spices, but the guards at the gate of Chang'an would not suspect that dozens of carriages entered Chang'an City, and they were all covered with tarpaulins. Of course, they had to check carefully.

So they were very sure that the 42 carriages were full of spices, full of spices.

In Liangyi Hall, after Eunuch Yao finished his report respectfully, Li Shimin froze there with a pen in his hand.

"A total of 42 carriages are full of spices?" Li Shimin asked.

Eunuch Yao said respectfully: "The guards of the city gate reported it like this. They have checked it themselves. I think there is nothing wrong with it."

Li Shimin couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he heard this. Although he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he had never seen spices in dozens of carriages!

Spices are famous for being expensive. Who has seen dozens of spices in a carriage?

It's no wonder that he, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, has never seen the world, it's really hard to see!

Dozens of carriage spices, too greedy!

Since the guards at the city gate have already checked, there is of course nothing wrong.

Li Shimin's memory flooded, and he couldn't help thinking of the words that Su Cheng advocated going to sea. Among them, he mentioned the spice island. There are many spice islands overseas, and the island is full of spices.

At that time, everyone was skeptical. After all, the value of spices has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Ginseng is also very valuable. Ginseng is produced outside the customs. Is it possible that ginseng is everywhere outside the customs?

How can it be?

That's why Li Shimin felt skeptical, but he didn't expect that Su Cheng would send someone to follow the bearded man to sea, and bring back dozens of carts of spices.

"Where are those spices? Why are they sent to Chang'an City?" Li Shimin suddenly asked with some doubts.

Eunuch Yao quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the people in the county mansion have been out to sea for almost a year, and they didn't even know that the county man moved out of the city, so they went directly to the mansion in the city. Now these spices have been sent to the city. Went to Sujiazhuang."

They are all in Sujiazhuang!Although he didn't see it, Li Shimin was very greedy.

Su Cheng, a heartless person, didn't even know how many carriages to send into the palace, and his precious daughter was in vain. It really was the water thrown by the married daughter!

Now Li Shimin regrets it very much. At the beginning, Su Cheng tried his best to encourage everyone to build a ship and go to sea. To be honest, he was also very moved.

He also sent people south to collect wood and prepare to build a ship and go to sea, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there were too many major affairs in the court and there were many places to spend money.

I always feel that building a ship and going to sea is a far-off thing, just take your time.If you use too much force all of a sudden, it's time for the officials in the court to write a letter.

But now, he regrets it so much!

First go to see what is going on with the dozens of carriages and spices. Li Shimin immediately put down his pen, then got up and was about to leave.

Suddenly he felt embarrassed again, he couldn't come back empty-handed, could he?

"Go and invite the queen!"

In the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun was holding her son in her arms to tell a story, and she couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard the report from the little eunuch. Didn't the emperor just leave?Why are you suddenly in such a hurry to let her go to Liangyi Hall?

Handing the sizi to the nanny beside her, the eldest grandson empress walked towards the Hall of Liangyi.

Arriving in front of the Hall of Liangyi, Empress Changsun raised her eyes and saw the emperor standing in front of the Hall of Liangyi with her hands behind her back.

Seeing Empress Changsun coming, Li Shimin came down with great strides.

"Go, accompany me to Sujiazhuang!"

"Go to Sujiazhuang?" There was a trace of doubt in the beautiful eyes of Empress Changsun. It's almost dark, what are you going to Sujiazhuang for?

"Didn't Su Cheng send someone to go to Japan with the bearded man? Now that he has returned, he has brought 42 carts of spices!" Li Shimin explained.

Empress Changsun was stunned, with a trace of doubt in her beautiful eyes: "Your Majesty made a mistake? Dozens of carts of spices?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "That's right! It's really spices from dozens of carriages. The guards at the city gate have inspected them, so they can't be fake."

"Su Cheng said before that there are spice islands overseas, and spices are everywhere on the island. But isn't the bearded man going to Japan? Why did he go to the spice island?"

Now that it has been inspected, there is nothing wrong with it, Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Spices are precious and rare, even if there are not many in the palace, I never thought that Su Xiaozi would have dozens of carts of spices!"

"Oh my god, I can't imagine it. I have seen so many spices in my life, I have to learn more!"

Li Shimin laughed and said, "I haven't seen this emperor before, so I asked you to go and see it together."

The carriage had already been prepared, but the queen's Fengjia was not prepared. Li Shimin directly pulled the eldest grandson empress into the carriage.

The light carriage was simple, and a group of guards escorted the carriage to leave the palace and head towards Sujiazhuang.
