Li Shimin

Chapter 258 Is this king just reaping the benefits?
"I know about this matter, so hurry up and decoct the medicine!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin sighed helplessly, waved his hands and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wang Qing and Mou Huangtou breathed a sigh of relief, bowed their hands again to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and then hurriedly left.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I have had this Qi disease since I was a child. Over the years, I have already gotten used to it."

Empress Changsun comforted Li Shimin.

"It's a pity that there are so many good doctors in the world, but no one can heal the qi disease of Guanyin's maidservant!"

Li Shimin said bitterly: "However, Guanyin's servant suffers from this serious disease, so she needs to move around more."

"I was in Xuanba Manor today, and I found that paddy field is crystal clear, there are many small fishes, and the seedlings are strong. It is a blessed land, which is more pleasant than the back garden in the palace. When the Guanyin servant is free, you can go to Have some fun."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

……

As the weather warmed up, people's clothes became thinner and thinner day by day throughout Chang'an City.

With the expansion of the Snow Granules Salt Shop, the people in Chang'an City became more and more happy.

After so many days, no matter how people buy coarse salt and refined salt, the coarse salt and refined salt in the snow grain salt shop have not increased at all.Even the fine salt and coarse salt in the shop have never been less.

Now, the common people are completely at ease.

But the management of the aristocratic families became more and more irritable.

"A few days ago, another truckload of salt was pulled into the snow grain salt warehouse. Where did the salt come from? You haven't found it yet?"

"Hmph, my Liu family sent hundreds of people, plus there were people watching secretly on every state road, and I didn't find any suspicious convoy at all!"

"That's all I'm waiting for, let Li Er sell coarse salt and refined salt?"

"Could it be possible, Brother Wang, is there another good way?"

"You are not afraid that in a few days, Li Er will start selling refined salt and coarse salt throughout the country?"

"How is this possible? In this way, he, Li Er, is not afraid of the instability of his Li family?"

"Hmph, now that the Tang Dynasty is strong and strong, and there is that Lijiazhuang, who dares to rebel? Also, who can beat that one?"

"Everyone is very anxious about this matter. The Patriarch is not in a hurry. What's the use of waiting for me to be so anxious?"

"Have you ever thought about it, Li Er summoned all the families to build concrete roads, and asked my family to pay for it together. In fact, it was a conspiracy to drag my family into the water and make my family cast a trap?"

"hiss……"

"This matter, now it seems, is really possible!"

"No wonder I wait for the Patriarch, and I'm still holding back!"

"But what about the salt merchants and shopkeepers in Wuhou Prison? I heard that after Li Er imprisoned those salt merchants and shopkeepers in Wuhou Prison, he ignored them!"

"Go find someone to find out what that Li Er means?"

"It makes sense!"

"Exactly!"

"Huh? Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Brother Cui and Brother Zheng have a close relationship with that King Jin. Only two virtuous brothers can take on this important task!"

"That's not the case at all!"

Cui Hongmo chuckled, "The Wang family is the first Conglong family of the Li family. The Duke of Yongning County is highly respected in the court and is deeply trusted by that majesty. The Wei family has the concubine Wei in the palace, and the Pei family has Duke Pei. ..."

"Brother Cui, don't do this. We wait for the children of aristocratic families to enter the court as officials, and we are the most taboo to be involved in family affairs. Among us, there are only two virtuous brothers who are neither officials, but they are related to His Royal Highness King Jin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Wait for Xiao Lang-jun to have a good relationship."

The steward of an aristocratic family said with a smile on his face: "I heard that the two virtuous brothers have been buying a large amount of tea and tea fields in the past few months. This matter will be completed. My family is in the south, and there are some tea fields that can be sold to the two. Brother Wei, some tea!"

"Brother Wang, don't worry too much. I have bought nearly [-] shi of tea, so I don't need tea for now!"

Zheng Mingde waved his hand and declined politely, when he didn't need it, he hated the two of them in every possible way.Unexpectedly, now that it is in use, I want to send the two of them away with some tea!

snort!
"Thousand acres of tea land!"

Wang Hui said again.

"Brother Wang, don't misunderstand, the two of us are the kind of people..."

"Two thousand acres!"

"My Lu family also contributes a thousand acres! Two virtuous brothers, there can be no more. Moreover, there are also salt merchants and shopkeepers in the two families!"

"In this case, the two of us will be more respectful than obedient!"

Cui Hongmo cupped his hands with a smile on his face.

On the side, Zheng Mingde was also full of joy.

Immediately, the two got up and said goodbye, and went to Lijiazhuang.

All the way, the two of them were full of joy.

When Li Xuan heard the two people's intentions, he also looked confused.

It is impossible for the tea land of a big family to be a low-quality tea land.And [-] acres of tea land, no matter what, it costs [-] to [-] guan!

"So, this king is taking advantage of it?"

"Your Majesty's words are justified!"

Cui Hongmo said quickly.

"It's not right, His Majesty and Qi Guogong are also involved, and it can only be His Majesty who is assisting him!"

Li Xuan shook his head again.

These tea businesses actually developed from the cotton-padded clothes workshops of Cui Hongmo and others. Therefore, Li Xuan, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and others, as well as Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde, each accounted for [-]%.

Hearing this, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were also slightly stunned.

The stewards of those aristocratic families always thought that the two of them were only doing business with the King of Jin, but they didn't know that they were doing business with the King of Jin, as well as the current His Majesty, the Duke of Qi, the Duke of Su and other Dukes.

"Old man, why do you say that His Majesty didn't care about those salt merchants after they were imprisoned in Wuhou Prison?"

Li Xuan turned his head and asked Li Yuan who was beside him.

"The aristocratic family is powerful, and it is also a part of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how fiercely the imperial court fights with the aristocratic family, even if all the aristocratic families are wiped out, it will only kill one thousand enemies and injure eight hundred!"

Li Yuan stroked his beard slightly, and said slowly: "So, Erlang is waiting for the aristocratic family to come by himself!"

"The patriarchs of those aristocratic families can also think about this matter. It's just that the salt cooking method controlled by Erlang is too advanced, and those aristocratic families are far behind. Those aristocratic families are reluctant to make a living with salt, and they cannot turn against the court. Tens of thousands of dollars have been invested in cement roads, and they are still reluctant to bear the cement roads in the future.

So, they fell into a dilemma..."

"Tsk!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but sneered, and looked at Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde.

Both Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were also full of embarrassment.

The Supreme Emperor directly lifted the whole fig leaf from the family's head.

"For this matter, Gao Ming will go back tonight and ask His Majesty again. Tomorrow, you two can come again!"

Li Xuan said.

"Yes, Master!"

Li Chengqian nodded in response.

"Thank you king!"

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde also bowed their hands with joy on their faces.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "How is the tea now?"

"Back to Your Majesty, through the relationship between the family and the princes, we have already bought [-] mu of tea land and [-] shi of tea leaves!"

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde hurriedly reported.

"It's just that it is very difficult to transport the freshly picked tea leaves. I waited in Fuzhou and other tea lands, and built some tea-frying workshops. After the tea leaves were roasted, they were transported to Chang'an or various places in Datang for sale!"

"[-] mu of tea land?"

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, but as for the [-] shi of tea, he was very satisfied. With this amount of tea, he probably bought all the tea in the whole country.

"Report to Your Majesty, 150,000 mu of tea land cost [-] guan!"

Cui Hongmo hurriedly said: "Right now, tea frying workshops don't have much money!"
