Although Sun Simiao refused, Li Qiu still hung his portrait.
And tell him that from today onwards, my Chinese medical skills will flourish since you.
Even if it is hundreds or thousands of years later, your portrait will still be worshipped by Chinese doctors.
After settling in the Furong Academy, Li Qiu once again opened the system panel in his mind when the night was quiet.
Right now, Li Qiu's assets have two energy crystals.
and 100 system points.
Next, he began to look for high-yielding and valuable seeds suitable for cultivation in the Youzhou area.
【Ding!Congratulations on redeeming a few potato seeds, consuming 16 system points, and the remaining...】【Ding!Congratulations on redeeming a few corn seeds, consuming 16 system points, and the remaining...】【Ding!Congratulations on redeeming a
number of sweet potato seeds, consuming 16 system
points, and remaining 52 system points.
When these seeds were exchanged, what made Li Qiu feel happy was that after having these crops, those people in Youzhou could live and work in peace and contentment, and they would have no worries about food and clothing.
But the only annoying thing is that the seeds in this system are all unique.
The amount is relatively small.
So in desperation, his next step was to find a way to build a greenhouse.
Then it's best to let the seeds split once in their own greenhouse.
According to the ancient books searched by archaeologists in later generations and verified by extracting stratigraphic cores, the climate on the Tang side was still relatively humid and warm during the period of more than 600 AD.
It is by no means as windy, sandy and cold as later generations.
The next day, taking advantage of his spare time, Li Qiu quietly pulled Luo Kexin aside.
Ask her how much money she has left in the house.
For these cumbersome money accounts, Luo Kexin is very uninterested.
So it has been handed over to Wu Yu to take care of.
Then, she called Wu Jue again.
Wu Jue told them that in addition to the daily expenses of the house, there were probably a dozen taels of gold left (roughly equivalent to more than a hundred copper coins).
As I have said before, in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, there were 5 Wen for rice, 3 Wen for one or two bamboo shoots, and 6 Wen for one liter of jujubes, and the purchasing power of more than 100 copper coins was still very strong.
However, for Li Qiu, it is far from enough.
Today, he plans to go to the most prosperous West Market in Chang'an, to find the owners of those jewelry stores, as well as the Persian merchants, to buy some crystal and glass.
In this era, glass is purely imported, and you don't have to think about it, it will be very expensive.
Seeing that his expression was a little sad, Luo Kexin and Wu Jue asked him very intimately if he needed a lot of money.
Or is there something important to do.
So Li Qiu told them about his plan to purchase a large amount of crystal and transparent glass.
About noon, Luo Kexin went back and took another two hundred taels of gold.
Then he smiled a little shyly and said, "Grandpa said, this is someone's dowry, and it's good to advance it to you in advance."
"After all this, there should be only various house deeds and title deeds left in Grandpa's place.
Looking at the gold, Li Qiu's heart was a little annoyed.
How did he get mixed up like this?
It seems that he had to make a lot of money first!
And Wu Jue also took a hundred taels of gold from home.
Then he blinked his eyes, smiled and told Li Qiu, "My father said that this hundred taels of gold is borrowed from you."
At this point, she paused again, "My dowry should be much more than that."
Looking at Luo Kexin and Wu Jue, Li Qiu's heart was warm, but some of them were not tasteful.
Then he took the people and the gold, and went directly to the West Market in a carriage.
At noon, with 200 people beating the drum, the gate of the West Market was officially opened, and the flow of people was crowded, and it was still very lively.
Li Qiu first went to the gold and silver utensils shop in the central and eastern parts of the West Market.
The shopkeeper and the boss here are all Han Chinese, so it is easier to communicate.
Li Qiu can also find out the approximate price of this crystal and glassware from them first.
Sure enough, as soon as they saw Li Qiu in person, these shopkeepers and bosses invited Li Qiu in extremely enthusiastically.
At the same time, the best tea is served.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the tea in Chang'an City still followed the style of the Hu people.
The milk and meat oil added to it were boiled in a mess.
It's fishy, and it doesn't taste good at all.
So Li Qiu also took a look at it and didn't move much.
After the following understanding, the glassware sold by these Persians was really expensive.
Subsequently, Li Qiu spent nearly 30 taels of gold to charter a large area of crystal ware and crystal ore here.
The jewelry shops in the East Market and the West Market are almost all the same.
Li Qiu also spent more than 20 taels of gold and wrapped all the crystal ore in Dongshi.
However, after calculation, it can have a look of forty or fifty yuan, and the cross-sectional area is not large, which is still a lot worse than Li Qiu's expectation of making a winter greenhouse.
Subsequently, Li Qiu went to the Persian trading house with the best location opposite the gate of the West Market, as well as the treasure collector Hu Shang.
This large area was allocated by the Tang Dynasty to these Persian merchants, and the Hu merchants did business.
The Silk Road, this Chang'an West City, is the end and starting point of this road.
And the largest of these Persian and Hu trading houses belonged to the Abbasid family.
When Li Qiu came here from the local gold bank shopkeeper in the West City, he heard that it was a prince from the Tang Dynasty.
These Persian merchants were still very welcoming.
invited Li Qiu in respectfully, kept saying good things, and took out all their best fruits for Li Qiu to taste.
"My most respected prince, if you want to find glassware, then my goods here are definitely the best and most styles in this Chang'an City.
"In your honorable capacity, I will also give you the cheapest price in order to gain your friendship.
In the midst of his nagging, Li Qiu also looked around at the glassware in his trading house.
Compared with crystal, these glasses are more suitable for their own greenhouses.
In fact, there are also glassware made by themselves in the Hanren Gold Bank.
But the colors are too heavy, more like glass.
As for the imported glassware from the Persian trading houses, although there are also many colored ones.
But there are still a lot of glassware that are almost transparent.
The cross-sectional area is large, and the light transmittance is also good.
