Li Shimin

Chapter 424 More This Time
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others also nodded repeatedly.

This kind of dried fish is not only delicious, but also has a special flavor.

"Everyone, what do you think of Xiao Gong's talk about exchanging dried fish for food?"

Li Shimin asked slowly.

"Return to Your Majesty, I think this matter is feasible!" Fang Xuanling nodded directly.

After thinking for a while, Changsun Wuji suggested.

"Your Majesty, I think that while distributing salt, glass and other things to those family merchants, invite them to have a meal together, and then sell them publicly.

Maybe, a catty of dried fish can be exchanged for more food! "

At this moment, Du Ruhui also thought of something, and said with a happy face: "Your Majesty, in two days, it will be time to start distributing the salt and glass!"

"So, then follow the auxiliary machine's words!"

Li Shimin said.

"Yes!"

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others all bowed their hands in agreement!
The most powerful emperor in the Tang Dynasty and several prime ministers wanted to plan something together, even if those merchants were standing behind the powerful families of the Tang Dynasty, they had to be at the mercy of them.

Moreover, the dried sea fish not only tastes great, but it is also the first time that it has appeared in front of the family of Datang.

Just trying it out, the dried sea fish worth more than 1000 shi can be sold.

After eating the three fish dishes in front of them, all the merchants couldn't help but shine their eyes, as if they had seen the golden prospect of these dried sea fish.

"Fang Xiang, the villain can exchange [-] shi for [-] shi of dried sea fish!"

Fan Yang Lu's steward cupped his hands and said hastily.

It's not that he doesn't want to exchange for more, but that there are at least more than 20 major families present, and more than 30 small families. One hundred stones of dried sea fish is already the limit that his Lu family can exchange.

However, even if it was a hundred stones, the crowd was full of dissatisfaction.

"Brother Lu really has a big appetite. I'm waiting for more than 50 families to be present. How about a hundred shi for your family?"

"Fang Xiang, I, Mr. Li from Zhao County, would like to exchange two thousand shi for a hundred shi of dried sea fish!"

"Fang Xiang, I, the Xue family in Hedong, are willing to exchange [-] shi of grain for [-] shi of dried sea fish!"

"Fang Xiang, I am Luoyang Yushi..."

As Steward Lu spoke, all the stewards of the aristocratic family couldn't bear it anymore and spoke one after another.

However, those who really want to exchange for dried sea fish are some northern families.

However, even so, Fang Xuanling's heart was full of joy when he heard it.

……

"How many?"

In the Hall of Liangyi, after listening to Fang Xuanling's report, Li Shimin had a look of disbelief.

"Return to Your Majesty, the [-] shi of dried sea fish was exchanged for a total of [-] shi of grain!"

Fang Xuanling suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said slowly.

"Good, very good!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed.

"In this way, the food and grass needed by Li Jing and the other army will be relieved!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others immediately congratulated with joy.

"Xiao Gong?"

Above, Li Shimin, who was happy for a while, looked at Li Xiaogong.

"What's your majesty's order?"

"I will give you [-] stones of coarse salt, and you will quickly take it to Qingzhou, govern the soldiers of Zhechong Prefecture in Dizhou, Qingzhou, Laizhou, and Dengzhou, dry the dried fish quickly, and let me dry it before it snows. Fifteen thousand stones of sea fish are dried out!"

Li Shimin said.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Li Xiaogong's face was filled with joy, and he hurriedly clapped his hands in response.

A day later, Li Xiaogong took a thousand generals and escorted more than 500 carriages to Qingzhou.

And in Qingzhou.

Inside the mansion where Li Xuan was.

Everyone has already consciously wrapped up a layer of thick clothes again.

"Master, when shall we go back?"

After eating a large bowl of fragrant sweet and sour sea fish, Li Baoding, Li Chengqian and the others huddled together.

Now, the weather has gradually turned cold.

And they were too lazy to go out again.

"Wait until the bandstand and the others make the steam engine!"

Li Xuan glanced at these bastards who were almost huddled together for warmth, and said slowly.

He really didn't understand why these little bastards, being big men, could stick close to each other without any hesitation.

"Ok!"

Li Baoding and Li Chengqian responded listlessly, and then lay there paralyzed by themselves.

Li Xuan has repeated this answer more than ten times.

As for Old Man Xiong, he disappeared with Li Chong after eating.

No need to search, Li Xuan knew that this old man must have gone to the main house of the Cui family next door to play chess with those old men of the Cui family to relieve their boredom.

"Your Majesty, the Hejian County King is here again!"

Xue Rengui came in from the outside and reported to Li Xuan.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded, and looked directly at Li Chongyi who was beside him.

"Li Chongyi, Ni Aye is here, go and meet him quickly!"

"Yes, Master!"

In this regard, Li Chongyi, who was used to warm nests, could only stand up helplessly and walked outside.

At the same time, Cheng Chusi, Fang Yizhi, and Changsun Chong also stood up.

Seeing this, a wicked smile appeared in Li Xuan's eyes.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a trace of doubt flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, and he looked at Xue Rengui who was beside him.

"What else?"

"Back to Your Majesty, King Hejian brought more than 500 carriages and [-] shi of coarse salt!" Xue Rengui reported again.

"It's okay, Li Xiaogong is more familiar with this matter than me, so don't worry about it!"

Li Xuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xue Rengui nodded strangely, then backed away.

Soon, Li Xiaogong, who was dressed in dust and dust, walked in.

"I've seen King Jin, I've seen the crown prince!"

"I've seen the Prince of Hejian County!"

They are all from Li Tang's clan, although Li Xiaogong is only the county king, but he is the clan's majesty, so they just greet each other.

Immediately, he sat down.

On the first floor, Li Chongyi and the others quickly served hot tea.

"King Jin, Gao Ming, you may not know that the [-] shi of dried sea fish last time was exchanged for [-] shi with those merchants from aristocratic families. Now, I am ordered by His Majesty to bring another [-] shi of coarse salt to dry. Dried sea fish!"

After moistening his throat, Li Xiaogong spoke directly.

"Well, I wish the king of the county every success!"

Li Xuan said directly: "Nowadays, the weather is getting colder and colder. In a few days, there may be snowfall. By then, the rivers and lakes will be frozen, and there will be no fish to eat in the Tang Dynasty. The rarer it is, the more food can be exchanged from those aristocratic families!"

"Hahaha, thank you King Jin for reminding me, I didn't expect this!"

Li Xiaogong was overjoyed. "King Jin may not know that the [-] shi dried sea fish has been sold out by those merchants. Before I arrived in Qingzhou, His Majesty sent someone to inform me of this matter!"

"So, Prince Hejian should speed up the drying process!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly again.

However, Li Xiaogong suddenly noticed it, and looked at Li Xuan in astonishment.

"King Jin is not going to help me?"

"This matter is a task given to you by His Majesty, what has it to do with me?"

Li Xuan was taken aback, "Besides, this king has more important things to do!"

Li Xiaogong: "..."

"However, these little bastards have nothing to do all day long. If the county king is too busy, he can drag them away!"

So, while Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others were stunned, they were ruthlessly betrayed by Li Xuan!

Then, that day.

Dizhou, Qingzhou, Cangzhou, Laizhou and other Zhechong prefectures were summoned by Li Xiaogong.
