Chapter 436 King, the text template is made
"Your Majesty, have you ever thought that a pound of coarse salt is the capital of those aristocratic families."

Li Xuan chuckled again, and said: "Even if those aristocratic families are not qualified to take coarse salt from the imperial court, buying coarse salt in Qingzhou is only five renminbi a catty of coarse salt.

In this way, they used 150 shi of coarse salt to dry out 75 shi of dried sea fish, and only spent [-] guan qian on coarse salt.

As for fishing at sea, for the aristocratic family, there is no need to invest money in all the matters of the ship's personnel.

In this way, with a maximum of ten pennies for shipping, the transport team can transport it to Chang'an City!
With the capital of 85 guan, you can get three hundred stones of dried fish. Your majesty can calculate how much those aristocratic families can earn! "

On the side, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others had already secretly calculated this meeting in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, these aristocratic families sell directly to wealthy households in Guannei and Guanzhong. A stone of dried sea fish can be sold for at least 5000 guan, and a cart of dried sea fish can earn more than [-] guan!"

"so much?"

Both Li Shimin and Li Xuan couldn't help exclaiming at the same time.

Li Xuan hastily changed his words again, "Your Majesty, transporting [-] Shihai dried fish in one cart is too heavy a burden for the carriage and horses. Last time, the carriages brought by the King of Hejian County were relatively small, so he forced it." Thirty stones. Therefore, it is enough to pull up to fifteen stones and twenty stones for the cart behind!"

Li Shimin also nodded slowly: "It should be like this!"

The carriage belonged to the family, the horses belonged to the family, and even the veterans were from the same family, only those merchants from aristocratic families were outsiders.

As long as those merchants from aristocratic families are willing to pay, no matter how harsh Li Xuan's rules for the transportation team are, Li Shimin will agree.

"But Jin Wang, in this way, the merchants of these aristocratic families will participate in drying the dried sea fish, and the court will not be able to exchange food from the aristocratic families so easily!"

On the side, Li Xiaogong said worriedly.

"Drying dried sea fish is so profitable, even if His Majesty doesn't set up a transport team, those merchants from aristocratic families will form their own transport teams!"

Regarding Li Xiaogong's worries, Li Xuan had nothing to do.

"Therefore, we set up a transportation team to minimize the loss. Moreover, the imperial court should also encourage those families to dry the dried sea fish and bring in an extra load of dried sea fish so that the people in Guanzhong, Guannei, and Henan can have more food to eat." !"

"Of course, the transport team not only transports dried sea fish, but also seafood such as cleaned fish and shrimp."

"seafood?"

Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others were shocked again.

"Xuanba, why are you delivering seafood to them?"

"Your Majesty, instead of delivering seafood to the aristocratic families, deliver seafood to me and myself!"

Li Xuan continued: "How many rich households are there in Chang'an City, or even the entire Guanzhong, Guannei, Henan and other places?"

"And we can only open two seafood restaurants in one city at most, but there are so many wealthy households, just two seafood restaurants can't satisfy them!"

"Your Majesty, how much does such a dish of grilled fish cost?"

"Five hundred words!"

"This plate of oysters is consistent!"

"This plate of sea cucumber is also [-] Wen..."

"hiss……"

Li Shimin just took a deep breath, "Such a table of dishes is at least ten!"

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan nodded lightly, "The food in the seafood restaurant is so expensive, but if I open a seafood shop and sell these seafood, the price can be reduced by half. In this way, the business of the seafood shop will also Very hot!"

"good!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin understood Li Xuan's intention.

Anyway, no matter what, the transportation team will make money, and the seafood restaurant and seafood shop can also make money.

This kind of making money and making a living must be done!
Immediately, sitting at the dining table again, discussing with Fang Xuanling and others, and eating again!

As for Li Xuan, he was almost listening, so he took Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others back to Zhuangzi.

On the other side, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others also quickly returned to the palace after eating.

And called two painters to compare the four paintings drawn by Li Xuan, each of which drew more than 20 pictures.

Immediately, several edicts were issued to Jiaozhou, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Dengzhou and other states.

……

In a blink of an eye, the seafood restaurant has been open for more than ten days.

The seafood restaurant is well-known in Chang'an City, and even the surrounding counties.

Every day, there are different dignitaries from aristocratic families, or wealthy businessmen who come to eat in carriages.

In particular, under the secret propaganda of some people, eating sea cucumbers, oysters and other sea treasures is of great benefit to older people.

Not to mention, there are really a few dignitaries who are about to know their destiny. After eating a seafood meal, when they return home, they feel a hot current growing under their abdomen that night.

Immediately, the whole person felt that the strength that had dissipated for many years had returned, and he looked for his young and beautiful concubine's room with great joy on his face, and began to turn upside down!
Therefore, although the seafood restaurant has returned to its original price, it is still overcrowded every day, and even needs to be booked in advance.

Otherwise, even if you wait in line for a whole day, you won't be able to eat.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Li Xuan was accompanying Cui Mi on the second floor, when the hurried voice of the old butler Li Chang came up.

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but sighed softly.

If anyone calls him, he can ignore it.

But the housekeeper Li Chang, he couldn't ignore it.

Li Chang knew his character well, unless it was necessary, he would never disturb him at this time.

"Mi'er wait a moment, the housekeeper's voice is so anxious, something must have happened!"

"Sanlang, let's go, don't worry about my concubine!"

Cui Mi said quickly.

Afterwards, Li Xuan got up and came downstairs with a face of reluctance.

However, the expression on the housekeeper Li Chang's face was not as anxious as Li Xuan imagined, but rather happy.

"What made the butler call me so anxiously?" Li Xuan asked angrily.

Li Chang was startled, and quickly laughed, and said, "Your Majesty, the writing blocks you ordered those ink masters to make have already been made!"

"Text printing plate..."

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help being startled.

Immediately, he hurriedly went around a lot, and he was relieved when he saw that there were only two of them on the first floor and no one else.

"This matter must be kept secret!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang looked serious and nodded quickly.

He also knew that if these things were to be known to those aristocratic families, it would definitely cause another disturbance.

"Let's go, follow me to have a look!" Li Xuan said.

"Yes!"

Li Chang nodded quickly.

Soon, the two came to a separate small house next to the brewery.

Build a bookstore!
A small workshop with four houses, surrounded by more than 20 personal guards, can be said to be the most heavily guarded place in Lijiazhuang!
"See Your Majesty!"

Seeing Li Xuan, all the guards hurriedly saluted.

"This place must be closely guarded, no one is allowed to enter except by the king's order!"

Li Xuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

All the guards looked solemn again, and responded again and again.

Then, Li Xuan walked in.

"See Your Majesty!"

After Li Xuan walked in, several ink masters who were concentrating on carving on wooden blocks with carving knives greeted Li Xuan slightly, and then continued to work on the affairs in hand.

There was only one ink curer, who walked over quickly.

"Ji Wen, where are the printing plates?"

"Also invite the king to come with the villain!"

Ji Wen hurriedly said to Li Xuan.

Immediately, he led Li Xuan to the innermost room.

As soon as he entered, Li Xuan saw thousands of small iron blocks inside a large wooden box against the wall.
