Naturally, Zhang's generation will take care of the affairs of the women's and children's hospital. Merton wholeheartedly accompanies the pregnant Princess Changle at home. Even the most popular western region event in Chang'an City, Merton has no interest and has not taken a half step out of the ink house at all, which makes Hu merchants waiting for Merton disappointed.
Fortunately, the acquisition of the Mohist school has not stopped. However, the children of the Mohist school still spend a lot of money on books and seeds in the western regions. They have not bought some strange things for Princess Changle to play with. However, all this has lost the pride of the Mohist school, which always makes people feel depressed.
"Please look, sir. This is a medical book recording countries in the western regions, which can be used as a reference for our doctors in the Tang Dynasty." although they didn't go out, good things kept coming to the Mo mansion. Seeing the medical book in front of them, Princess Changle was like a treasure.
Merton's cheek was drawn. It was just some medical skills that had passed the Tang Dynasty, but it fully spent five golden leaves in Mojia village. However, Rao was so. The behavior of buying horse bones in Mojia village could not be stopped.
Fortunately, this western region event was not without harvest. A Hu merchant presented a small bag of apple seeds and a well preserved apple to Princess Changle. It is said that this is the only one that can be preserved after a full box of apples from Persia.
Looking at some dehydrated red apples in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction. The apples in front of him were not as big as those in later generations, but the fruits transported by Hu Shang were already excellent, but the appearance was not bad.
"Young master, the Hu merchant is still waiting."
Merton looked at the red apple in front of him, and his heart moved. Lang said, "let him wait a moment and let the Mohist children carve a pure gold apple and give it to him. No, it's not a reward, but a gold apple for his red apple."
Immediately, a Mohist child came in and took a look at the apple, nodded and bowed down. The most important thing Mohist needs is carving talent, which is almost the basic skill of Mohist children.
"Exchange gold apples for red apples!" Princess Changle rolled her eyes and knew that Merton's black sheep had made another mistake.
Fuber was also stunned. How precious should this apple be when he bought such a large pure gold.
"Why don't you think it's worth it?" Merton smiled at the surprised faces of the people.
"But it's just a fruit. Can it be as precious as Johor rice?" Princess Changle wondered. Merton's pen is as crazy as hearing Johor rice.
"Naturally, it can't compare with Johor rice, but it's not far away. If Johor rice doubles the yield in the south of the Yangtze River, and this fruit can benefit the north of the Yellow River infinitely, what's its value?" Merton said mysteriously.
"Oh!"
The people were shocked. They couldn't help but listen. If this can really benefit the Yellow River, this gold is naturally extremely worth it.
"Although the fruit has been dehydrated here, it is not stored properly. If it is my hand, it will greatly prolong the storage time of apples. It is still fresh for half a year. In half a year, the merchants of Datang are enough to sell the fruit to the whole Datang. Madam can imagine that the fruit can be used by the people of Datang for half a year, and it is cold most of the time In winter, what a treasure it will be, how can it not be worth this gold. "Merton said with a smile.
Apple is the easiest fruit to store in the future. Even if it is stored in the local way for a few months, it will not be a problem. If it is directly put in the cold storage, it will be enough to eat all year round. It can be imagined that once apple is popularized in Datang, what a broad market it will be.
Moreover, there are no fruits in Datang winter. Apples mature in October and stored for half a year, which is enough to support them until March and April next year. When flowers and fruits are everywhere, it simply solves the fruit problem in Datang winter.
"Of course, the most important thing is that this apple is sweet and juicy. It tastes very good and is most suitable for pregnant women such as women." Merton cut it gently with a knife, and a thin layer of apple skin was cut down to reveal the white pulp inside.
Merton cut the pulp again, and the baby left the seeds. Then he handed the apple pulp cut into small pieces to Princess Changle. Changle left recently and just had some crisp apples to appetizer.
Princess Changle picked up a piece of fruit and put it into her mouth. Suddenly, a sweet juice filled her taste buds. She praised again and again: "it's really delicious."
Such fruit is delicious and can be preserved for a long time. If it can be popularized on a large scale, it will benefit not only the north of the Yellow River, but also the south of the Yangtze River. In this way, Merton can exchange an apple sized gold for such a broad market, which can be said to be worth thousands of dollars.
"I said, my husband will not do business at a loss." Princess Changle had a big appetite and ate the flesh of an apple in twos and threes.
"Young master, the Golden Apple has been carved." after a while, Fubo came and reported that he was holding a pure gold apple, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The children of Mohism are highly skilled. In addition, pure gold is very easy to carve. It can be said that the carving of this apple is very similar.
"Then give it to the Hu merchant!" Merton waved a big hand. A piece of pure gold is far less expensive than the small bag of apple seeds in his hand, which is the guarantee of winter fruits in the future.
"Yes!" Fu Bo bowed away, and soon there was a surprise cheering from Hu Shang outside the house.
Soon, the story of mojiazi buying a red apple with a pure gold apple spread all over Chang'an City as quickly as possible.
In the west market, a group of Hu merchants were excited. Merton's promise was still valid. Apple was not a rare thing in the western regions. Many people heard it, and many people couldn't help but regret it. If they sent the apple, it would be their golden apple.
The citizens of Chang'an are even more talkative. Even though the behavior of the black sheep of the Mohist school comes every year, they still smack at Merton's great pen.
"It's just an exotic fruit. The Mexican family bought it with fist sized gold. It's a great loser." a miser like landlord was distressed. I'm afraid all his possessions were not worth the gold, and the Mexican family used it to buy a fruit.
"I heard that the fruits of this heavy gold were eaten by the highness of the princess. This is probably the most expensive fruit in history." a citizen smack a tongue, and a fruit is bought with the same large gold. I am afraid the emperors are reluctant to do so since ancient times.
"What do you know? When did Mojia Zi do business at a loss? This fruit is an exotic fruit. Mojia Zi took its fruit and cultivated it by Mojia. Everyone in the world can enjoy this fruit at that time. I'm afraid you won't be jealous when you see Mojia village making money." a merchant snorted.
It is well known that mojiazi spent a lot of money on exotic books and seeds, and a spinach and Johor rice have proved the correctness of this method.
People may not know that Johor rice is far away in Lingnan, but spinach is shining in Chang'an city. Mojia village has made a lot of money just by buying spinach leaves, not to mention that since Merton allocated half of the spinach to the women's and children's Hospital, the price of spinach has soared by 30%. Now, Mojia village has earned more than 100 times more money than Merton bought spinach seeds.
