Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

Li Shimin promised him Changle and Yuzhang. He took out the method of making salt. Now the snowflake salt is almost popularized throughout the country. During this period, the salt merchants who sold private salt complained bitterly.

There is no other way. The imperial court intervened. Who dared to intervene? Li Shimin really took action. However, the people loved Zhenguan salt so much that they shouted "Long live His Majesty".

In the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin asked, "What method is there to make money? I also want to know." He really wanted to say that if it was possible, he would even give him a few more princesses.

Zheng Zhengjin said: "It's almost summer, so I think making ice is a good idea."

Li Shimin's eyes widened when he heard this: "Can you make ice?"

Zheng Zhengjin nodded: "Yes."

"Okay, wait a moment. Wang De, go and tell Zhangsun Wuji to come to the palace to see me. We have something good to discuss." Li Shimin shouted to his eunuch.

"I obey your command." Then Wang De immediately instructed his godson and others to inform Changsun Wuji.

Li Shimin asked with green eyes: "Is the cost of making ice high?"

Zheng Zhengjin said: "This is very cheap, the cost is almost negligible."

"Haha, okay, let's go, follow me to the imperial study, and don't disturb Guanyin's rest here." After Li Shimin said this, he said something to Empress Changsun, then stood up and took Zheng Zhengjin to the imperial study.

Zheng Zhengjin said to Changle and Yuzhang, "You two should stay with your mother. I will go discuss something with your father."

The two little ones nodded obediently: "Okay, Brother Zhengjin."

Changsun Wuji arrived at the imperial study very quickly, but as soon as he entered the imperial study and saw Zheng Zhengjin, his face immediately turned dark before he even greeted him.

Zheng Zhengjin felt a little embarrassed towards Changsun Wuji, and then he said, "Master Changsun, don't get excited. His Majesty asked you to come here today because I was a little inconsiderate today. And I promise you that I will not treat Pingting unfairly."

Li Shimin said, "Ahem, Auxiliary Machine, this kid has to bleed a lot today." Then he said to Zheng Zhengjin, "Okay, tell me your way of making money quickly."

Zheng Zhengjin came to the bucket of water that Wang De had prepared in advance, and threw a bag of things into it. Soon, the bucket of water began to solidify, visibly.

The bucket of water quickly froze into ice.

Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji's eyes were almost bulging out.

"How is it possible?" Changsun Wuji looked at Zheng Zhengjin in shock.
Zheng Zhengjin smiled and said, "Lord Changsun and Your Majesty, do you think this ice-making method can make money?"

You have to know that the ice in the palace's ice cellar has gradually melted over time.

If there is no place to cool down in the summer, life will be very uncomfortable.

"Auxiliary machine, this one is satisfactory." Changsun Wuji was naturally satisfied. It can be said that this ice-making method was picked up for free.
You should know that after his wife heard about the spread of the poem, she personally went to Prince Xian's mansion to find out what happened. After learning that her precious daughter was not wronged, she went back and told him. Only then did he feel relieved. Otherwise, she would have reported Prince Xian to Li Shimin.

At this time, Zheng Zhengjin said: "Master Changsun, you can open a shop to sell ice cubes. Although it will only take a few months, it will be enough for you to make money. But don't leak the core technology, otherwise, it will be very common."

Changsun Wuji's old face was full of smiles, and he said, "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Xian." Zheng Zhengjin then wrote down the cost of making ice, the steps of making ice, and the required proportion of saltpeter on a piece of paper and handed it to Changsun Wuji. He then said, "As for how to distribute the benefits, it will be between your majesty and Lord Changsun. I don't need it."

Li Shimin then said: "How can I not distribute it to you? I have to give you at least 10% of it." Li Shimin had already thought it through. He wanted four levels of profit, one level for Zheng Zhengjin, and since Changsun Wuji had contributed both the effort and the store, it seemed reasonable for him to give him 50%.

Zheng Zhengjin was too lazy to pay attention to it. Who was he looking down on? He was a prince and had plenty of money.

Then he said goodbye to Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji, left the imperial study, and returned to Lizheng Hall.

Both Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin understood the method of making ice written by Zheng Zhengjin. Obviously, this method was very simple, but it required a saltpeter mine.

Then the two foxes discussed for a long time in the imperial study and finally distributed the benefits. Changsun Wuji put the ice-making method into his pocket like a family heirloom, said goodbye to Li Shimin and returned to his mansion.

He had to figure out the ice-making method as soon as possible. After all, although this business could only last for half a year, the profit was still considerable.

After Zheng Zhengjin arrived at Lizheng Hall, he said goodbye to Empress Changsun. Empress Changsun wanted to keep Li Lizhi and Yuzhang in the palace to accompany her. Zheng Zhengjin naturally had no objection to this.

Li Lizhi hugged Yuzhang and Zheng Zhengjin, and Zheng Zhengjin comforted the two little ones: "You should listen to your mother more, okay? Don't be naughty. I will come to pick you up in two days."

"Okay, Brother Zhengjin." Although the two little ones were reluctant to leave, they still stayed to accompany their mother.

Then Zheng Zhengjin rode on the big cat and left the palace.
Riding a big cat and strolling leisurely on the street, you should know that big cats are rare mounts. Many people in Chang'an City have basically never seen one. Moreover, big cats are very scary creatures in themselves. They are iron-eating beasts, and they are not just talk. Especially the big cat of Zheng Zhengjin, when he was fighting the Turks, it killed at least tens of thousands of Turks by itself.

"Oh my god, who is this guy? He's so handsome."

"If you can become my ideal husband, you can eat at least two more bowls of rice every day."

"Wake up, stop dreaming. How could anyone like you, a gossipy woman with a face like yours that looks like an oval face and is not blind?"

"Fuck, if he doesn't like me, how can he like you? Do you want to crush me to death, you fat pig."

"Be careful not to make any noise, or he might overhear us. This is His Royal Highness Prince Xian, the most popular person in the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, I heard that Pingkangfang has already announced that as long as His Royal Highness Prince Xian comes to patronize, all the expenses will be free of charge."

"Oh my god, I, Zhao Ritian, am really jealous. I want to go to Pingkangfang, but I have no money. Damn, this world is so unfair."

"But to be honest, this Prince Xian is really handsome. He is just like my heart. He is so handsome."

"His Royal Highness Prince Xian is not only handsome, he is also talented, and every poem he wrote will be passed down through the ages. Not only that, his princess consorts and concubines are not ordinary children."

"Yes, but it is also true that only a lady from a noble family could make the prince write so many poems praising her."
