Although the production price of perfume is low, it is taking the luxury route, and there are not too many products promoted every time.

The remaining products that the noble ladies in Chang'an City don't have too many products to fall into the hands of merchants.

Therefore, it is a luxury enjoyment, and when transported to foreign lands, the price increases exponentially.

Even so, those merchants are willing to spend huge amounts of money to buy, because such treasures are priceless in their country, and no matter how high the price is, they will not fall into their own hands.

The strong strength shown by the Tang Dynasty allowed many people to see business opportunities, give up their fields, and choose to go into business.

Suddenly, a large amount of abandoned land appeared in the entire Tang Dynasty and no one went to farm, which made Li Er furious.

The output of grain is the foundation of a country. Farmers are greedy for the interests of merchants and join the reselling industry. This is completely different from what Li Er thought. How could he not get angry?

In order to prevent the development of things from becoming more serious, Li Er had to modify the business rules again. Whether it is luxury goods or other goods, the price of reselling them must not exceed five times the original price, and the luxury tax will be raised again so that all merchants can see the benefits clearly.

Then, the farmers' taxes were reduced and the people were encouraged to farm. If anyone could achieve a certain yield, the court would directly reward 100 taels of silver as encouragement, which would retain the vast majority of farmers.

Lingnan, which was originally considered a barren land by everyone, was led by Xiao Zhengtai intentionally or unintentionally, and many businessmen saw business opportunities.

In order to pursue profits, businessmen also racked their brains to develop specialties in Lingnan area. The path that Xiao Zhengtai opened up completely became a business road for communication between the two places.

The fruits that were originally impossible to eat in Chang'an City finally arrived in Chang'an under the careful transportation of merchants, which caused a great sensation.

With the escort of the Tang Dynasty Transportation Team, safety is naturally not a problem, and the speed is far greater than that of their own transportation.

The people in Chang'an City, even those high-ranking officials and nobles, have never seen fruits from Lingnan specialties. After everyone tasted them, they have been praised for the things in Lingnan.

Chengfu!

Cheng Yaojin looked at the lychees placed in front of him, frowned. Can this thing with small bumps really be eaten?

"Get over here, are you sure this thing can be eaten?"

In the end, Cheng Yaojin still didn't muster up the courage, so he could only stare at Cheng Chumo who was not far away fiercely.

"Dad, the real thing is really edible, and the taste is very good. It is a specialty of Lingnan area. You can try it!"

Cheng Chumo looked at his father with some amusement and tears. After looking at his feelings for so long, he was not sure whether this lychee could be eaten.

In order to prevent my father from making a fool of himself without knowing how to eat lychees, and to prevent him from venting his anger on himself after a while.

Therefore, Cheng Chumo personally peeled a lychee for Cheng Yaojin, and then signaled Cheng Yaojin to taste it.

Cheng Yaojin looked at the little lychee in surprise. He really didn't expect that the flesh inside would be so tempting.

"This thing tastes good. Depending on your kid's proficiency, I must have eaten it a long time ago!"

After eating a lychee, Cheng Yaojin was very satisfied, so he looked at Cheng Chumo with no good expression. He was obviously very dissatisfied with this kid eating alone.

"When I followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Lingnan, I had eaten these fruits and other things long ago, and they were still unlimited."

When Cheng Chumo mentioned this, he said proudly, and he had never treated his nobles badly before. No matter what delicious food it was, his nobles would give it to them without any stinginess.

"A bastard, if you have such a good thing, will you know how to send it back to me?"

Hearing the nonsense of this bastard, Cheng Yaojin was furious and roared at him.

"Dad, I can't blame me! I went to sea to do business with Your Highness. As for the fruits in these places, it was really difficult to transport. It's not that I don't think about you, but that the conditions at the time really didn't allow it!"

Cheng Chumo said guiltily, when he was there, he was only concerned about his own enjoyment, so he would not care about the affairs of Chang'an. As for his son, he had already been thrown out of his mind.

In the palace!

After tasting these fruits from Lingnan, Li Er and the Queen praised them endlessly and secretly praised the unique vision of these merchants.

Fortunately, the farmers have stabilized now, otherwise they would all go to be traveling merchants, and then the Tang Dynasty might be in crisis again.

"There are so many good things in Lingnan. Why hasn't anyone ever mentioned it to me for so many years?"

Eating delicious fruits, Li Er's face became increasingly ugly. He thought of many things. Could it be that all these things have been covered up by those who are interested in it?

But it was wrong to think about it. It would be fine if he, a king, didn't know about this, but no country has ever paid attention to the land of Lingnan in all dynasties, which made him very puzzled.

"It's not that they didn't mention it, but that the transportation conditions for these fruits were too harsh. If it weren't for the last time that Erchen went to Lingnan and used extraordinary means to open up a passage, I'm afraid these things would still not be able to be transported."

Xiao Zhengtai said speechlessly, things have always existed. The past journey was not only difficult to walk, but also countless bandits and robbers were hiding in the dark.

Fruits do not have much benefit in themselves and are difficult to preserve, so no one is interested in this.

"Haha, Chicun! You kid have made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty!"

After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's words, Li Er suddenly realized that the last time Xiao Zhengtai led a large army to the Lingnan area, it took a lot of time. Now it seems that when the road was opened, this little guy had already expected the current situation.

"The father was joking, these are what the sons should do."

Xiao Zhengta also laughed. As long as he can do these things for the country and the people, he will naturally not refuse.

Seeing Xiao Zhengtai's modest look, Li Er couldn't help but admire her. It would be absolutely impossible to leave this country to Xiao Zhengtai.

Just as Li Er, the Queen, and Xiao Zhengtai were enjoying the delicious fruits together, Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and others came together.

"See Your Majesty!"

After seeing Li Er, several people hurried forward to salute, looking at Li Er with a serious face, and finally all their eyes fell on Xiao Zhengtai.

"Your dear friends don't have to be too polite. Your news is very informative. Since you are here, let's enjoy it together!"

Li Er said helplessly, waved to Wang De not far away, and signaled him to give him a seat.
