Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 57 I am duty-bound, Li Jing's attention
Night, Fangfu.

After dinner, tea time.

"Fang Zhouzun, this is the fine salt contract, can you see if there is any problem?"

Li Shimin took out a contract from his arms and handed it to Fang Yuan.

It was the profit distribution contract that was negotiated with Fang Yuan before, signed by the emperor and stamped with a jade seal.

"So fast?!"

Fang Yuan was slightly surprised.

He took a deep look at Li Shimin before accepting the contract.

But without even looking at it, I handed it to Hongxu who was making tea to put it away.

Then ask Hongxu to fetch a large amount of fine salt production plan that has been written.

Before that, Fang Yuan had already written out the process, so that the other party would not forget after listening to the dictation.

"Don't look at it?"

Li Shimin asked in surprise.

"Need not."

"Trust Boss Li."

Fang Yuan shook his head, lowered his head to drink tea.

"Fang Zhouzun, I'm going to leave."

"Before I leave, may I know how cement is made?"

Li Shimin said with a smile.

He has been in Liaozhou for several days, and the court still has something waiting for him to deal with.

Seeing Du Ruhui's message, after he left, Pei Ji jumped very high, walking around with the Supreme Emperor frequently.

"No."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, shook his head and said.

Cement is so important. In addition to building roads, it can also be used to build houses in the future.

It can be said to be a sharp economic sword, which can drive a massive economy, Fang Yuan doesn't want people to know it now.

"I can cooperate like fine salt!"

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice.

Although considering that Fang Yuan would refuse, he was still very upset when he was rejected.

"No."

"This is not negotiable!"

Fang Yuan shook his head, said firmly.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little bad, Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan, who were drinking tea, lowered their heads even lower.

"Then what if we just use cement to build the Yellow River dam?"

Li Shimin frowned even deeper, and said in a deep voice.

"This officer is duty-bound!"

"Provide cement and technical support!"

Fang Yuan sat up straight and said seriously.

Turning over the cement recipe will not work, but providing cement will.

The process of cement is complicated, and after the finished cement is released, no one in the market can imitate it in a short time.

"Row!"

"After your cement plant is completed, an official should contact you."

Li Shimin nodded, and was quite satisfied with the answer he got.

Although he is curious about how cement is made, he wants to control the Yellow River dams more.

He also wanted to build a cement road, but the court at the scene had no spare money, so he didn't necessarily know how to make it.

As for the method of making money from the fine salt obtained now, it must be given priority to attack the East Turks, and there is also no money to build roads.

"no problem."

Fang Yuan nodded.

"Then I won't bother you tonight."

"Go back to the commercial bank to pack your luggage and return tomorrow morning."

Li Shimin got what he wanted and got up to leave.

Seeing this, Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan quickly put down their teacups and got up.

"I will send you off."

Fang Yuan followed and got up.

"Need not."

"I know the way."

Li Shimin smiled.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan didn't force it.

Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan bowed to Fang Yuan and followed Li Shimin.

"Master, why do you feel that Li Daye gave you the same face?"

After the person left, Qingyi said dissatisfied.

Fang Yuan didn't answer, he sipped the tea carefully.

Outside Fangfu.

"Father, why do you want to hide your identity from Fang Yuan?"

Princess Xiangcheng was quite puzzled.

Like tonight's cement incident, if you directly reveal your identity, can't you just ask for it?

Du Miaoyan on the side immediately pricked up her ears, curious about why she concealed her identity.

"In the beginning, I was worried that Fang Yuan would be afraid of me and be deceived maliciously, so he would not be able to see the changes in Wuling County more clearly."

"Now it feels like the timing is wrong."

Li Shimin thought for a moment, then smiled lightly.

"Wrong timing?"

Princess Xiangcheng didn't understand.

Is this a matter of timing?

Du Miaoyan showed some thought on her face, and seemed to understand a little bit.

"Don't you think it would be more interesting to show off that I am the emperor after I get to know him better?"

"I was thinking, what kind of expression will he have then? It will be quite interesting, right?"

Li Shimin laughed.

There is expectation in the eyes.

In fact, he didn't say anything, that is, there is no fawning and hypocrisy of other courtiers here in Fang Yuan.

"Forehead"

Princess Xiangcheng was stunned.

Can't understand the fun in it.

She thought it was boring, but she didn't continue to ask.

I thought about complaining to Du Miaoyan, but saw that Du Miaoyan had already followed in the footsteps of his father.

a few days later.

Li Shimin returned to Chang'an City.

Let Li Jing be notified before the person enters the palace.

Soon, Li Jing appeared in the royal study of the palace to meet Li Shimin.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Li Jing saluted respectfully.

Nearly 60 years old, he doesn't look old at all.

The appearance is burly, but not vigorous, but like a Confucian scholar.

At this time, Li Jing was only a famous general, he was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he was the Duke of Yongkang County.

"I decided to contact Liang Luoren and order him to kill Master Liang and present the city to surrender!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

"Your Majesty is not worried about his false surrender?"

Li Jing was taken aback for a moment, then asked.

It was his idea to contact Liang Luoren to kill Liang Shidu and offer the city to surrender.

However, some generals in the DPRK were worried that the other party would feign surrender, so this idea was temporarily shelved.

"I have confidence that this plan will succeed!"

Li Shimin smiled confidently.

He thinks this plan is feasible, Li Jing thinks this plan is feasible, Fang Yuan also thinks this plan is possible.

They are all very far-sighted people, and they all agree that this plan is feasible, so the success rate of this plan will be very high, and it is worth a try.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Li Jing saluted immediately.

It is a happy thing to have your own strategy adopted.

"Prepare again. After taking Shuofang, attack the Eastern Turks from the north!"

Li Shimin continued.

When he mentioned East Turks, anger welled up in his eyes.

The shame of Weishui burned his dignity day and night, and it was time to wash it away.

"Your Majesty, what about food and grass?"

Li Jing was overjoyed, but quickly raised concerns.

It's not that he doesn't want to attack the East Turks from the north, but the conditions don't allow it.

The imperial court now has no food to support the Northern Expedition, and there is no way to fight this battle.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Li Shimin waved his hands in high spirits.

Once the fine salt is launched, it will be a steady stream of income.

Not to mention supporting the Northern Expedition, even filling the national treasury is just around the corner.

Even if we face natural and man-made disasters in the future, we will not be as passive as this drought and locust plague.

"This"

"Can Your Majesty clarify?"

Li Jing hesitated for a moment, then asked.

It's a matter of national war, so we can't help but be careless.

You can't really not worry just because the emperor said that you don't need to worry.

"I'm going to Liaozhou to find out how to refine fine salt."

"In the future, there will be a steady stream of income, and food and grass will no longer be a problem."

Li Shimin said proudly.

"Fine salt?!"

"Your Majesty will rule the world, wipe out the Eastern Turks, and the world will be shocked, just around the corner!"

Li Jing was startled and shocked.

Looking at Li Shimin's proud look, I think it's true.

Immediately pretended to be very excited and saluted Li Shimin.

"Unify the world, Megatron the world, hahaha"

Li Shimin laughed triumphantly.

It seems to see the appearance of his own Megatron.

Soon, Li Jing left the imperial study, returned to the mansion, and called for his son.

"Dejian, you should find out what happened in Liaozhou yourself, and don't let anyone know."
