People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

Chapter 45 Father Emperor, You Are Short of Money, Say It Earlier

Three roast ducks fell into his belly, and Li Shimin bit one again. It wasn't until the second one was finished that Li Shimin felt a sense of satisfaction, but in this satisfaction, there was still a sense of satisfaction.

"Fourteen, your roast duck is really good!"

"Turn back and teach the royal chef in the palace!"

Li Shimin smiled.

He never thought that roast duck would have such a delicious taste.

And in this way, he naturally had some ideas.

"Yes, Father!"

Li Ming nodded, but did not refuse.

Although he plans to sell the roast duck in the future, it doesn't matter if it is handed over to the imperial chef.

After all, it is impossible for the imperial chef to leak it.

Hearing Li Ming's response, Li Shimin couldn't help showing a look of satisfaction on his face.

Then he pondered for a moment before speaking.

"By the way, what's the matter with Shaofu's fine salt?"

"I heard that on the [-]th, you made the Shaofu more than ten thousand dollars in profit?"

Li Shimin opened his mouth with a question.

He did not forget his purpose of coming to find Li Ming.

Before, he was only attracted by the roast duck, but now that he is full and full, of course he has to talk about business. When he spoke, Li Shimin also had a look of anticipation and nervousness.

"Refined salt?"

Listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Ming was a little dazed, but soon remembered what Li Shimin said.

"Father, you mean refined salt?"

"Any questions?"

The figure nodded, and there was still some doubt in his expression.

"Fourteen, I want to ask you, how much salt do you have left?"

Looking at the dazed Li Ming, Li Shimin couldn't help asking directly.

"How many?"

Li Ming thought about it and calculated the recent balance, and answered quickly.

"There should be more than 1000 catties!"

"I need to go to the Shaofu to check the exact amount, but it should not reach 100 catties, and it probably only looks like more than [-] buckets."

These days, the output of refined salt is not as exaggerated as before. After all, coarse salt is also limited, and all coarse salt cannot be extracted into refined salt. At that time, the price of coarse salt will have to rise. Once the price of coarse salt rises, then play Big hair.

After all, what is the relationship between refined salt and ordinary people, no matter how expensive it is, it will not have much impact on society.

But once the coarse salt is increased, people's livelihood may collapse.

So after these days, even though he saved a lot of refined salt every time, it is only more than 1000 catties now.

"More than 100 buckets!"

Listening to Li Ming's words, Li Er was a little disappointed.

As the emperor, he probably knows the market price of Chang'an. The best refined salt is only one bucket of one hundred guan, while the inferior snow salt is only about one bucket of twenty guan. This refined salt is considered the best Green salt, and tribute salt.

More than 100 buckets are about 2000 guan, if it is snow salt, it is only more than [-] guan, and it is less than [-] guan.

This little money is not as good as the [-] guan that the Shaofu has left over.

"Father, you need refined salt, but most of the refined salt here is just snow salt. What is used in the palace should be tribute salt, or green salt!"

But listening to Li Shimin's inquiry and seeing Li Shimin's reaction, Li Ming was a little puzzled and spoke with surprise.

Snow salt is fine salt for many people, but for the palace, there are actually very few people who use snow salt, most of them are green salt or tribute salt, even though the production of green salt and tribute salt is extremely low now, the cost of the palace But there will be no problem.

As a result, Li Ming couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"It's not for me!"

Li Shimin shook his head.

Then he seemed to think of something again, and looked at Li Ming with embarrassing eyes.

Words asked again.

"By the way, the Shaofu supervisor said that you have obtained some refined salt on the [-]th. I don't know where your refined salt comes from?"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin found himself a little nervous.

Although he knew that now he shouldn't pin his hopes on his teenage son, but recently he was really poor and crazy, so he could only watch.

I hope this son who has created miracles again and again can give him some surprises.

And his expectations didn't seem to be wrong.

"Refined salt, I refined it myself."

"Refined salt can be obtained by refining coarse salt, but the steps are more cumbersome."

Li Ming did not hide Li Shimin's question, but explained it directly.

And this explanation made Li Shimin's body tremble.

"Fourteen, you mean, you can extract refined salt from coarse salt?"

Open your mouth with an unexpected surprise.

Li Ming's words were very simple, but to Li Shimin it was not so simple.

What is the value of coarse salt, a bucket is only two hundred yuan, what is the value of refined salt, a bucket is at least [-] guan, how big is the difference.

At this moment, his lips became a little dry, and his eyes even brightened a little at this moment.

He originally thought that Li Ming had just obtained some refined salt by accident, and he was just trying his luck when he came here, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise.

"Yes, it is not difficult to extract refined salt from coarse salt, but today's coarse salt has too many impurities, and it is not considered salt anymore. Is this the case with my Datang salt?"

Li Ming couldn't help complaining.

Only after extracting coarse salt did he know how exaggerated the coarse salt is in this era.

Nimana is not considered salt anymore, it can only be regarded as a salty stone or gravel. He can extract [-] catties of refined salt from one hundred catties of coarse salt, and when he is lucky, Under normal circumstances, it is not bad to be able to reach about [-] catties, which is simply a trough.

But obviously Li Shimin didn't care about Li Ming's complaints at all.

At this moment, all he could think about was the fact that Li Ming could extract coarse salt into refined salt.

The figure got up, and Li Shimin looked straight at Li Ming.

Seeing that Li Ming was a little nervous, his words were full of apprehension, nervousness, and awkward opening.

"Fourteen, if Emperor Father handed over all the salt of the Yantie Division to you, can you increase the treasury revenue by 500 million guan this year, or not 100 million guan?"

The voice came out, and Li Shimin's heart was also raised in his throat at this moment.

"One million pennies?"

"Salt Iron Division?"

"This shouldn't work!!"

Li Ming was a little dazed, but facing Li Shimin's words, he still shook his head.

As mentioned before, the production of refined salt from coarse salt cannot continue forever.

Over time, problems will inevitably arise.

Not to mention, if you give him all the salt from Yan Tiesi, the people will not eat salt.

"Father, the salt of the Yantie Division is cheap and cannot be touched lightly. If the father needs a large amount of refined salt, he can go to sea water to make it. I believe it may be more than a million guan a year. My son's visit is even enough to guarantee a year. At least tens of millions of years."

After the figure shook his head, Li Ming immediately added another opening.

The salt of the Yantie Division cannot be moved casually, but there is plenty of salt in the seawater, and millions of guan can be obtained.

It's just that his words just came out.

Li Shimin couldn't help but sighed and shook his head.
