People in Datang have been expelled from school

Five months later in Jingyang, Guanzhong just entered autumn, and Li Lizhi's pregnant belly was already obvious. She always stood for a short time, and she had to sit for a while after every half an hour.

Already in the sixth month of pregnancy, Li Lizhi's heels always hurt after walking for a long time.

Li Lizhi looked at Li Zheng pressing her feet with a blushing face, "Is it appropriate for you, a big man, to press a woman's feet?"

He tried to take his foot back several times, but was grabbed by Li Zheng. After some struggle, Li Lizhi gave up.

There are so many maids in the house, even the maids are blushing.

But after relaxing, pressing the soles of the feet that were sore for a while got better.

Li Zheng said: "This is a normal phenomenon during pregnancy. Don't worry too much. You usually slow down when you walk around."

Li Lizhi nodded, and looked at the ledger from the table beside her. At this time, she put her eyes on the ledger, and if she didn't look at Li Zheng, her feeling of shame would be slightly relieved.

Pressing on another foot, Li Zheng looked at the distance of the house, "The workshops in Guanzhong are almost purchased, and the methods that should be used have been used."

Li Lizhi nodded and said, "From now on, we in Jingyang control [-]% of the business in Guanzhong, from pens and inks to clothing, even wine and meat prices, and..."

Li Lizhi said in a low voice after a pause: "There is also the price of manpower."

Controlling the price of manpower is actually a very dangerous thing. Controlling [-]% of the sales in Guanzhong means controlling [-]% of the production in Guanzhong. Whoever controls the production controls the human resources.

In the same way, whoever controls the price controls the economy.

Half of the big things can be expected, and we are one step closer to contending with the court.

Li Lizhi flipped through the ledger and said, "I heard that you asked Tie Da to build some strange things?"

Li Zheng said: "It hasn't been assembled yet, all we are doing now are parts."

Seeing Li Zheng's smile, Li Lizhi understood a general idea, and she said again: "It's not that the childish slave has been pestering Tie Da all day recently, I heard that you have given Tie Da a job again, and he has no one who can work , I’m in a hurry all day.”

"The thing that King Jin wants to build now is a bit difficult, and I think he is a little too hasty, and there are technical problems that have not been solved, and Jingyang's foundation is not good enough."

Li Lizhi smiled calmly, although she didn't know what Li Zheng and Zhinu were up to.

It is also heard that Li Zhi spent several months to come to Lilan this time, and some small experiments have been carried out.

Li Lizhi noticed that Li Zheng had stopped pinching his feet, but instead grasped them greedily. She raised her chin, and while Li Zheng was relaxing, she quickly retracted her feet.

Li Zheng said with emotion: "It still feels very good."

Li Lizhi stared at him with pretty eyes, "You still say it."

Seeing that Li Lizhi was about to lose her temper again, Li Zheng hurried out of the house. During these days of pregnancy, her temper has not been very good.

Anyway, there is still a small one in the stomach.

Don't bother with her for now.

Breathing the fresh air in the village, Li Zheng was walking on the path beside the field, when a figure in the distance was coming towards here with a bag.

This figure looks familiar.

...

Take a closer look, isn't this Li Tai?

He ran fast, his hair was disheveled, and he seemed to have a romantic feeling running under the sun.

When he got close, Li Tai stopped. He shook the bag in his hand, "Do..."

"doing what."

"Do……"

Li Tai was out of breath.

Li Zheng looked at him frowning and said, "Why don't you catch your breath first."

Like a deflated ball, Li Tai sat on the ground exhaling and inhaling non-stop. It had been a while since he entered the academy, and his heart and lungs couldn't bear it for a while.

After a while, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "It's done, Haiyan! The sea salt sent is a total of [-] shi. Next month, I can send another [-] shi. Ten thousand shi is not a problem."

He wiped his sweat again and opened the bag and said, "Look."

Li Zheng looked at the white sea salt, dipped some in it and tasted it himself. The salt was very fine and the salty taste was not bad, without bitterness.

Li Tai grabbed Li Zheng's clothes, "I can get married now. With so much sea salt, I'll get rich, get rich, and Datang will never have to be short of salt again."

Li Zheng was not too happy, which meant that the price of salt was about to drop, and it was a sharp drop, and those salt merchants would lose money.

"Fatty, I don't want to hit you. I'm afraid we will be attacked overwhelmingly in the future, and many people will do everything possible to kill us."

Li Tai blinked and said, "What do you mean?"

Li Zheng whispered, "Is the extraction of sea salt easy?"

Scratching his head, Li Tai said: "The news from the East China Sea said that it was very difficult at first, and we had to adapt to the climate. Later, after these difficulties were overcome, the speed of salt production was extremely fast, and it did not require much labor. Also low."

Li Zheng looked sad, "That's it. Seawater is inexhaustible. Salt can be obtained through sea salt workshops at any time. As long as the scale is large enough, more and more sea salt can be obtained. Once A large amount of sea salt enters the Central Plains, and the salt in the Central Plains will become a cheap thing.”

"Isn't that good?" Li Tai asked suspiciously.

"Everyone can eat it. Clean and hygienic sea salt is naturally good, but His Royal Highness King Wei has to think about how many salt dealers there are in this world, and how many people point to the mouth of the salt lake. Once the price of salt collapses, those who rely on Will the interests that earn money from sea salt let us go?"

After hearing this, Li Tai smiled instead of worrying, "You didn't back down when you faced the five surnames, let alone let you, and I won't back down either. The cheaper the salt, the more ordinary people can afford it. This is a good thing that benefits people's livelihood!"

At best, Li Tai was just a steward of an academy, and he didn't know the reason.

Li Zheng said patiently; "Another reason is the economy of the Central Plains. Salt, iron and food are the three big mountains of the Central Plains economy. Now that salt is cheap and shakes one of the big mountains, it will also shake the other two big mountains. It's not as simple as you think. , the economic lifeline of the Central Plains cannot be explained in a few words.”

"And once salt becomes cheaper, your father's wealth will also shrink a lot, and the wealth of many salt hoarders will also shrink, which may cause turmoil."

After the matter passed through his mind, Li Tai gradually understood the seriousness of the matter after thinking about it in his mind, "The economy you are talking about is not just the price of salt, what you really want to talk about is affecting the circulation of coins in the Tang Dynasty. Affect everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty."

Li Zheng let out a long sigh, "We still have to face what we should face. How many people know about Haiyan?"

Li Tai scratched his head, "Not many, only the dozen or so students sent by our academy know."
