Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 59 Go to Chang'an to get some free stuff
Li Yuanji's eyes lit up when he heard what Wang Xuance said. He did not pay attention to what Wang Xuance said about destiny, because he knew that people of this era would indeed understand the making of salt from sea water as a miracle, because it was too incredible.

This is incredible, not because the salt is made entirely from seawater, but because the salt produced is completely different from the ordinary salt we eat.

There was sea salt in ancient times, but it was made by boiling the sea, not the method he used. In addition, the impurities were not cleaned, resulting in too many impurities, the taste was not very good, and the color was also poor. The particles were also larger, larger than normal coarse salt.

This is also what Xie Shufang said, that it is better than ordinary salt. Li Yuanji is more aware of the difference between the two because the salt he ate in Chang'an was the salt from the palace.

The salt that ordinary people eat is even worse. The salt added to the dishes is not easy to digest, and it is common to eat one dish blandly and another salty.

These are the reasons why Wang Xuance and others were surprised. The difference between the two, seawater turning into salt, was directly reflected. If this is not a miracle, what is it? If this is not destiny, what is it?
After a moment, Li Yuanji immediately agreed.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, Dahe. As for Xuan Ce, I have something else for you to do."

Li Yuanji would certainly not refuse such a beneficial thing. Where could he find a good thing that could enhance his prestige?
Wang Xuance and Ning Chun were both stunned when they heard Li Yuanji's words. Neither of them had expected that Li Yuanji would entrust this matter to Ning Chun.

Especially Ning Chun. This was originally proposed by Wang Xuance, and logically should have been handed over to Wang Xuance, but Li Yuanji had other arrangements for Wang Xuance, so Ning Chun had no choice but to agree.

Wang Xuance looked at Li Yuanji with curiosity in his heart.

"Your Majesty, what can I do for you?"

Li Yuanji said solemnly: "I plan to ask you to go back to Chang'an, take this salt and the furniture I made, and present it to the saint.

After presenting it to the Saint, you must ask for supplies. Now, as long as we are in need of something, you can ask for it freely. The poorer and more pitiful you make me sound, the better.

You must ask for more, don't be afraid. If you ask for less, even if the saint bargains, you will get less. Ask for more, even if the saint bargains, you can still get more in the end.

Remember, this time we don't need money, we only need supplies.

After asking for it from the saint, you can then go to the East Palace and the Qin Palace, give these to them, and then ask them for supplies in the same way.

It’s up to you how to control it. Anyway, when you go out this time, just make sure you don’t come back empty-handed.

Ding Fang, bring some people with you to protect Xuan Ce's safety, and you two can go together."

This time, Li Yuanji was preparing to fleece Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin again. Li Yuanji knew very well that this should be his last time to fleece these three people. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident broke out, he would never have this opportunity again.

Now that he has the opportunity, he will not let it go. He has come to Lingnan and brought all the good things to them. Even if Li Yuan is poor, he has to arrange something for him. As long as he plays the sympathy card, he doesn't believe that Li Yuan can really be so cruel.

As for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, as older brothers, they have to save face no matter how poor the Eastern Palace and the Prince of Qin's Mansion are. As for how much supplies he can get from these two people, it will depend on Wang Xuance's ability.

When Wang Xuance heard what Li Yuanji said, he was stunned, and then he was happy. It was just as Li Yuanji said, now there is such a good opportunity, it would be unreasonable not to ask for some support from the court.

Moreover, he also wanted to go to Chang'an to see what this prosperous capital city looked like.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely get it done. I will definitely bring back supplies for Your Majesty and Lingnan!" Su Dingfang also stepped forward to take charge of this matter. The few of them chatted for a while, and Li Yuanji kept Feng Zhixun and Wang Xuance.

"Zhi Xun, tomorrow you will load some of the salt onto the ship and send it to Duke Geng. It is up to him to decide how to deal with the salt."

Feng Zhixun stood up respectfully.

"I will take your orders and ship it to Duke Geng tomorrow."

Feng Zhijun didn't ask much, nor did he say much. He just did whatever Li Yuanji arranged, as if he didn't regard Feng Ang as his father.

Li Yuanji looked at Feng Zhixun with even more admiration. Such a person is capable and loyal so far. He knows what to do and what not to do. He is an excellent talent.

After Feng Zhixuan left, Wang Xuance also spoke up.

"Your Majesty, Feng Zhixun is indeed a good person. Duke Geng has given birth to a good son. Moreover, Duke Geng's attitude seems to be close to Your Majesty. This is good news for us, but Your Majesty should not take it lightly."

Li Yuanji nodded. Although he had talked with Feng Ang in Cangwu last time, but at this level, especially now that the ruler is weak and the ministers are strong, it is not good to be without any defense.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm keeping you here this time just to tell you about going to Chang'an. Please keep it in mind."

Then Li Yuanji talked about how to ask for supplies and how to behave when going to Chang'an. The two chatted for more than half an hour before Wang Xuance left.

On the second day, Wang Xuance and Su Dingfang set out. As for their work, Xie Shufang took over Wang Xuance's work, and Yu Minghe took over Su Dingfang's work.

The daily system tasks for this day were refreshed again. Today's task is to run for an hour. Li Yuanji also summarized it. This daily task is really daily. The contribution points are almost a fixed five points, but they are all very easy to complete. The longest time is only two hours. It is definitely to give him five contribution points every day.

Three days passed like this, and the supplies brought by Yang Jianhe and Yuwen Bao finally arrived, and the blacksmiths who accompanied them were all in place.

As soon as the supplies arrived, Li Yuanji immediately arranged for the blacksmiths to start making the necessary farm tools. The forging technology of the Tang Dynasty is now world-class, much better than the craftsmanship here, and the dozen or so craftsmen here naturally became apprentices.

Li Yuanji also arranged manpower to help these craftsmen. In five days, all the necessary agricultural tools were made, and the speed of building the city was greatly accelerated.

As time passed and the day of spring ploughing drew closer, Li Yuanji immediately drew a blueprint of the curved plow and gave it to the craftsmen to start making it.

This curved plow was made by Li Yuanji himself. It was actually very simple and he didn't need to redeem it from the system at all. This saved him 50 contribution points, and Li Yuanji was extremely happy.

However, the suffering of not having oxen for plowing immediately surrounded Li Yuanji. Although the curved plow could be pulled by a strong man in front, it was not as useful as an ox for plowing.

When Li Yuanji was worried, Xie Shufang also came to him.

"My king, we have stored a lot of salt. What should we do with it?"
