Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 615;
Chapter 580 seven;

Seeing His Majesty's eyes signaled that Changsun Wuji knew how to deal with this matter;

"There are two or three places of that kind of poisonous salt near me, it's okay to give one to Mr. Li Dalang, but whether it can be turned into something edible, no one can say for sure!
How about this, after the poisonous salt is dug out, if it can become edible, then pull twenty carts at the price Brother Qin said, if not, then don't need the money and just give it to Da Lang. "

"Thank you, eldest grandson Shangshu Chengquan."

Li Shimin pretended to cough;
"Shubao, did Li Dalang drink when he said this?"

After Li Shimin said this, everyone in the study nodded and looked at Qin Qiong. Li Dalang's personality is full of Chang'an, and everyone knows now. So I want to know whether this is a crazy talk after drinking or...

"Returning to Your Majesty, I did drink some white wine last night, and I woke up this morning. I think it's the truth. He also said that he didn't want to make money, but only wanted the people in the world to have salt to eat, so that the soldiers in the army would no longer be jealous. Bu, it can be regarded as accumulating merit.”

"Okay! Well said! It's a blessing for all the people that he has such an idea, Shubao, don't worry, the court will not run on his family's secret method again in the future!
As long as he can supply the sixteen guards of the imperial court and the imperial army of the northern and southern yamen, it will be enough. As for the land of poisonous salt, it is easy to talk about it. In addition, I will give you two fiefs. "

Li Shimin is actually not a greedy person. He took many secret methods of Li Yu a few times ago, and he felt very sorry. Last time, he discussed with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. I need Li Dalang's other secret methods, so this time Li Shimin never thought about greedy things.

In fact, many people in the world laugh at Li’s Second Household about the secret method. Every family in the five surnames and Qiwang’s family has various secret methods, and they never show it to anyone. Only the patriarch of the Li’s Second Household is young and ignorant. One by one was taken out, and handed over by the court at random, what a fool!

Fang Xuanling and other civil servants and military generals have also bluntly reported to His Majesty the Emperor many times that this cannot continue, otherwise all the noble families in the world will be frightened, and the reputation of His Majesty is not very good. Speaking of which, the Emperor always forces his subjects to surrender Family secrets, always like this will give people an excuse.

Li Shimin is also full of bitterness. To be honest, he doesn't want to force his subjects to give everything to the court. What is this?
However, the rogue's hand was horseshoe boots. The imperial court really needed these, so they had to take them!and after?The imperial court was about to stop, and Li Shimin's second wife made liquor again, and Li Shimin had no choice but to be a wolf who couldn't eat enough again!

After the baijiu incident, Li Shimin decided not to force Li Dalang to hand over any secret methods, but he came up with a secret method of high-yield seed cultivation that would make the people in the world eat enough. The big thing about the stomach, I can only continue to ask for it with a face.

At that time, Li Shimin made up his mind that it would not be like this again. Now that the imperial court has continued to make money from the baijiu business, and found several gold and copper nests, as well as the benefits of the Silk Road, Li Shimin had already made an agreement with his civil and military confidants. No matter what secret method Li's second wife has, the imperial court can't win the love with a knife, otherwise how will the people of the world come to see the imperial court?

How do future generations see themselves as the emperor?Besides, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are incompetent?Can't solve the court's problems, and make things difficult for a child everywhere?
Who is Changsun Wuji?He is about to become a master, he wants to make meritorious service everywhere, and he wants to flatter the emperor everywhere, how can he let go of an opportunity at this moment?
After hearing His Majesty's words, Changsun Wuji immediately bowed down to salute;

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen also said a few words. The twenty carts of silver and silk that Cai Chen and General Qin mentioned just now are the price of that field, not one of them. Li Dalang has the idea of ​​benefiting the common people. Your Majesty You can't be left behind, twenty carts of silver, all the poisonous salt land there is given to Li Da, please be a middle man, your majesty will do what you say!"

Li Shimin was so happy from ear to ear after hearing this, he said that although this brother-in-law is one of his own, after all, he is no match for his own eldest son who is closer to him on the other side. Subconsciously, Li Shimin always feels that he is older The richer the son, the better!
"Okay, okay, I'm here to be the middleman in this matter. Wuji, I have always understood your thoughts clearly. You have nothing to say to the court or me. This matter is settled like this. Shubao, you can send people to get some The poisonous salt is back? I can't wait!"

"Your Majesty, I have already arranged for people to go out of the city to pick it up. I have also told you not to waste time. You can come back in three days if you are quick, or five days if you are slow. When the time comes, I will look at it personally. If it can be turned into edible salt, I immediately sent it to the palace for His Majesty to have a look at."

"Okay! Shubao, I can rest assured that you will handle the matter."

"By the way, Shubao, did Li Dayou say how much he will pay for it? Don't let the common people afford it, and I will follow suit."

Everyone in the study knew that His Majesty the Emperor was worried that the price would be too high and that the sixteen guards and horses would cost too much. Of course, whether the common people could afford it was also the key point.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, he won't sell it too expensive. He told his aunt that the table salt made by the secret method will be whiter and cleaner than the ones sold in the East and West markets now, and the price will be [-]% cheaper. Every household of His Majesty's people will buy it." It can be eaten, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will not increase the expenditure."

After hearing this, Li Shimin not only did not look happy, but frowned, and Fang Xuanling on the other side also came to speak;
"Shubao, we have been in a relationship for many years. There is no need to hide it. It is not without reason that the price of salt remains high. Manpower and horsepower require eating and drinking. Not to mention that the production process is not easy. Li Dalang can make more refined table salt Come out, maintaining the price in the market is a blessing for all people, this... If it is reduced by another [-]%, how much money can he earn back?"

Du Ruhui also had a worried look on his face;
"That's right! Everyone in Li Dalang's family knows about their great achievements, but they don't dare to do this. I'm afraid it's a waste of work to reduce the salt of the sixteen guards and horses of the imperial court by [-]%. If it's the same price for everyone , even I am worried that he may be busy for nothing."

"The two servants are well aware of the people's sentiments, and they speak jargon. It sounds reasonable to me. I'm afraid he's a hangover and pretends to be a hero. After you go back, Shubao, tell him more about the market situation. Don’t spend too much at every turn, it’s okay if it’s lower than the market.”

It was the first time for Qin Qiong to hear that everyone felt sorry for her child in unison. She couldn't accept it for a while. She always ran on the child like a madman. Today, I finally heard that someone felt sorry for him...

"Observe the order! The minister will tell him when he returns."

Qin Qiong agreed to say goodbye and came out, and before leaving, he gave Cheng Yaojin a wink, not long after leaving the palace gate, Cheng Yaojin followed, and the two rode back to Qin Qiong's mansion side by side, and entered the courtyard Cheng Yaojin Just leaned in front of Qin Qiong and whispered;
"Brother? What His Majesty and the two servants said is also true. If you reduce it by [-]%, you can still make a lot of shit? Don't let him pretend to be a hero after a hangover."

"I'm also a little worried that he hasn't stopped drinking. I didn't see him in the morning. Last night he didn't come home after drinking and stayed in the other courtyard of those four ladies. The angry old man stayed up all night. It's still you this morning." My sister-in-law took someone to bring him back, and whipped him again, and he is still recuperating in the house at the moment, let us go over to see the situation and ask clearly, otherwise I will be worried about it."

"good!"

The two of them went straight to Li Yu's courtyard without saying a word, and all the servants came to salute;
"Meet the two great generals."

"Waiting, where is your Marquis?"

"If you go back to the general, lie down in the room."

"Lead the way."

"only!"

Li Yu was sleeping soundly on the bed, and was awakened by Tanchun in a daze, turned over and gasped for the whiplash on his buttocks!

"hiss……"

"Lang Jun is careful, Lang Jun is careful."

Turning his head around, Li Yu saw the two uncles approaching the couch, and quickly got up from the bed to salute, but was stopped by Cheng Yaojin;
"Okay, okay, just lie on your stomach and answer."

"Oh, it's uncle."

Qin Qiong sat in the grand teacher's chair brought by the servants, neither sad nor happy, without saying a word, Cheng Yaojin asked anxiously;

"Just now we mentioned to His Majesty that you were going to sell salt. Your Majesty said that from now on, the secret law court of your Li family's second-bedroom family will not come to steal your love. You can just earn your money with peace of mind.

Changsun Shangshu also promised to give you all his three fiefs with twenty carts of silver, so you don't have to worry this time. "

"Really? That's great! I was worried that His Majesty would come to force me to hand over the secret method of turning poisonous salt into table salt again. Now I can feel at ease. Thank you two uncles for your concern, hehe!"

Cheng Yaojin lifted the quilt and looked at Li Yu's swollen butt;
"This thin skin and tender meat, pumped like this, can have a long memory. If you don't return to the old man's house at night, you will definitely be whipped ten times. There is no human kindness to speak of."

"Oh, remember uncle."

Qin Qiong sat aside and didn't want to talk at first, but immediately snorted coldly after hearing Li Yu's words;
"Hmph! I hope you can remember that the identities of those four ladies are extremely sensitive. Your Majesty has not yet pardoned their Aye. Of course it's fine if you don't care about it. Once someone wants to instigate you, what should you do if Your Majesty gets angry? This matter Your Uncle Cheng and I have been worrying about it for a few months, but you are lucky, not only are you entangled with them, but you also set up a house and family business, you are extremely foolish!"

Li Yu explained helplessly;

"Uncle Qi, that's them Aye. At that time, there were many heroes, and everyone was their master. I think there is nothing wrong with it. It's nothing more than the success of the king and the defeat of the bandit. And it's the father's generation. It's the same with the four little girls. It doesn't matter, uncle, you are too... that..."

"Too that? You still want to argue with the old man?"

"I didn't, I didn't dare, I didn't say anything wrong when I told the truth, why does my uncle always look down on me..."

"Is this old man finding fault on purpose? If you are sitting in the study every day like Cheng Da, who would talk too much? How decent is it to spend a lot of time every day?
Even if you want a woman, you can't cause trouble for your upper body. There are many women in the world. Those generals have a lot of concubine daughters. All of them are of good background. Every family wants to marry. You, Uncle Cheng, and I are also considering it carefully. , do you still have to worry about not having a woman to serve you?

Besides, it was really impossible to tell right from wrong, but now the world is up to His Majesty, if His Majesty doesn’t care about their affairs, it’s fine, but if you care about them, it’s after the traitors. You’d better keep this old man’s warning in mind, hum! "

Qin Qiongyue said that the more unhappy she was, she flicked her sleeves and left the room with a dark face. All the maids in the room lowered their heads and did not dare to move. Cheng Yaojin moved the grand master's chair and sat in front of Li Yu's bed;

"As for your stubborn mouth, when will you get rid of it? Sooner or later, you will make your second brother angry."

Li Yu had a helpless expression;
"Heaven and earth conscience, uncle, son is really not stubborn, can't you just explain a few words?"

"Okay, okay, the old man is too lazy to talk to you, so I just want to ask you something. Your aunt said that you set the price of refined salt in the future by [-]% lower than the market price. Is there such a thing?"

"Oh this? That's right, I think it's not easy for the common people to survive, and the price of salt is too high, so it has to be lowered by [-]% to make the common people feel at ease."

Cheng Yaojin frowned when he heard this, and went to Li Yu to smell it again.

"Uncle? What are you doing?"

"Have you lost your drinking last night?"

"Ah, I have already gone down, my uncle asked this..."

"The old man wants to know whether you are talking crazy after drinking or..."

"God! I've woken up a long time ago."

"Now that you're sober, do you know that the price of salt in the East and West cities is only [-] to [-]% of the profit. If you want to make better and more refined products than theirs, you can make a shitty profit even if you lower it by [-]%?"

"Hey! What do you think, uncle, you came here just for this?"

"Is there anything else? Your Majesty and the two servants are afraid that your work will be wasted, so they specially asked the second brother to come back and talk to you about the market. Now that he is gone, the same is true for the old man. You have to grow up." Dessert."

"Don't worry, uncle. In summer, when I went out to visit the mountains and rivers, I passed by Uncle Changsun's fief. At that time, I asked the servants to dig up a lot of poisonous salt. I used secret methods to make refined salt that was white and clean. At that time, I made more than a dozen. When Che Jingyan went back, the Zhuangzi hadn't finished eating it at the moment, and it was all distributed among the clansmen.

My son has also calculated it carefully, it is nothing more than digging it out by manpower, and then transporting it to various places. There is no need to work from start to finish like other merchants. Even if you lower the price by [-]%, you can still earn half of it, so you don’t have to worry about it, uncle. I will never trade at a loss.

If the price is [-]% lower than the asking price, the common people should also say that they are kind-hearted, and the court can also collect less taxes, earn a lot of money and silk, and gain a reputation, so why not do it?whee! "

Cheng Yaojin scratched his scalp vigorously;
"Damn it, I'm a good fighter in war, and I'm not afraid of death, but I don't know anything about business. Forget it, forget it! I can't beat you with ten brains, as long as you don't do the money-losing business." That's it.

"The servants sent to dig the poisonous salt will come back in three to five days. I'm afraid His Majesty will also come to care about it. Just don't mess things up."

Li Yu propped himself up and got up, responding with a playful smile;

"Uncle, don't worry! I will definitely not mess things up, but...the process of making refined salt is not convenient to show to others. Uncle, you have to make it clear to His Majesty when the time comes, and don't ask others to steal it. , if others have learned it, how can they make money? Uncle, do you think this is the reason?”

Cheng Yaojin stood up carelessly;

"It's alright, alright, no one will come to peep, as long as you can turn poisonous salt into refined salt, as for what secret method you use and how to make it? No one will take care of you, alright, alright! It's all right It's three quarters past noon, I'm going out to have a few drinks with my second brother, and you can slowly recuperate on the couch, you'll be fine in three to five days, and get up to work when you're ready!"

"Yes, send off uncle!"

"Smooter!"
