God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 235 Astonishing Salt Benefits (Part [-])
"Gao Ming, what are you talking about? The Wang family actually extended their minions to my Tang court!"

Li Shimin's face was very displeased. Regarding the matter of salt, it turned out that officials were also involved. This is a big event, which means that the entire Tang Dynasty is corrupt and someone has been bribed.

"Yes! According to the information I received, this is the case, but I don't know who did it!"

Li Chengqian said this on purpose, in fact he was talking about Changsun Wuji, and of course he did not rule out other people, but he just nodded. As for the in-depth matter, then leave it to Li Shimin to decide.

"Investigate! Have to investigate! Li Jing! I leave this matter to you to investigate!"

Li Shimin shouted in a voice almost roaring.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Jing agreed.

At the moment, some people's eyes dodge, I'm afraid this matter will never end.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, don't be too angry, let Gao Ming go to court!"

Only then did Empress Changsun come out to persuade her.

"Your Majesty, the servants will definitely participate in finding out who is in collusion with the Wang family! Clear up the ethos of the Tang court!"

"Okay, Gao Ming, you continue!"

Only then did Li Shimin walk behind the back curtain.

But Li Chengqian then sat down and said: "Xing Guogong, how did you deal with the matter yesterday?"

Fang Xuanling came out and said, "I would like to inform His Royal Highness that the mood of the people in Chang'an City is basically stable, and we are trying our best to appease them. As for the salt, we will solve it quickly."

When he spoke, Pei Ji at the side seemed to notice that someone was not here, so he said, "Why don't you see Shangshu Sun Qian? Is it because he is sick? He mentioned this matter, why didn't he come?"

As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty waited and watched, but they did not see Sun Qian himself.

Now some people are guessing that because Sun Qian brought up the issue of the private salt government camp, he couldn't solve it, so he didn't dare to come.

These people are very happy to encounter this situation, if it is stagnant, that is the best.

After all, one salt involves the interests of many people.

Li Chengqian heard it all, so he said:

"You want to see Sun Qian? Well, come, call Sun Qian!"

He knew that when Sun Qian came out, he would slap these people in the face.

Especially those who do not advocate reform.

"Report, Sun Qian Shangshu is rushing to the Taiji Palace!"

At this time, Xiao Huangmen said.

It seemed that he was still busy outside.

"When he returns, let's discuss other matters first."

Li Chengqian said so.

So the ministers began to discuss other matters, and after a quarter of an hour, a little Huangmen shouted: "Sun Qian Shangshu has arrived!"

"Let him in!"

Sun Qian entered the palace after a while.

"See Your Royal Highness!"

"No courtesy! Come! Sun Qian tell us about the situation from last night to morning?"

"Yes! His Royal Highness!"

Sun Qian then began to say: "From last night to early this morning, we produced a total of [-] shi of refined salt, and all of the refined salt was transported to the market in Anlefang, where it has already started to be sold! It has attracted a large number of people Come and buy, we have restricted the purchase of these refined salts, each person can only buy one catty! And starting today, every day in the future, there will be a thousand stones of refined salt entering the market in Anlefang, where people can buy official Salt."

Refined salt!When everyone heard this, they were all surprised from ear to ear.

Because they know what it means.

That is the best quality salt!It was sold like this.

At the same time, Pei Ji was also very puzzled. It is obvious that the progress of the entire private salt official camp can be postponed today. How can Sun Qian resolve it? Now that a large amount of salt has appeared, and the quality is the best. Next I'm afraid the Wang family will lose their competitiveness.

If they sell it now, I am afraid that not many people will buy their salt, right?After all, you can't compare to the official salt. If it can't be sold out after a month, I'm afraid you have to eat the salt yourself.Or can't get rid of the fate of being recycled at a low price.

That's really picking up a stone and shooting yourself in the foot!
It is very puzzling to let the civil and military lawsuits.

Zhang Liang asked, "Where does this refined salt come from?"

"Guanzhong Salt Mine!"

Sun Qian responded in this way.

Pei Ji asked in bewilderment: "Salt mine? Isn't that salt poisonous? How dare you sell it to the people? Is it really okay for you to do this?"

"You don't know that. Yesterday, His Royal Highness tested the salt mine to make non-toxic refined salt, and achieved a lot of success. That's why we mass-produced it!"

Opinions vary,

"What! Is there such an operation?"

"Is there anything His Royal Highness doesn't understand?"

"My God, there must be so many salt mines in the world, then making salt will be very convenient in the future!"

……

They were all shocked by Li Chengqian's behavior.

At the same time, when Sun Qian said this, several civil and military officials were happy and others were worried.

Now Pei Ji and the others finally knew why Li Chengqian summoned 1000 people who turned out to be salt makers, and their faces were really sad.

But for Li Shimin, that's good.

At this time, Li Shimin kept nodding behind the curtain. Obviously, this good news made him come out of his previous anger. Next, the salt will be directly in his hands, and the entire treasury will be replenished.

Li Chengqian also believed that the state-run salt business could directly increase the national power by more than three percent.It seems that the ability to govern the world is really not built, and it can be improved from the task alone.

According to available historical facts, the salt revenue of the Tang Dynasty in history reached one-half or two-fifths of the tax revenue.The finance of the Southern Song Dynasty is also half of the benefits of the sea.Seventy-eight out of ten of the Yuan Dynasty's fiscal expenditures depended on salt profits...

With such a terrifying number, it is no wonder that the Wang family can become a big family, which is also reasonable. However, after he has privately entered the official camp, he may encounter some obstacles, but he has the Tang army as the backing, so he doesn't have to. Afraid of anyone.

As soon as Sun Qian's words came out, Li Chengqian laughed loudly: "Okay! Continue to produce refined salt, and all salt mines in the world will be owned by Datang! They cannot be rented out! Our national strength of Datang will be strengthened, just around the corner!"

He spoke very excitedly and infected some people.

"Yes!"

From now on, it is the real recovery of the salt mine. In this way, the lifeblood is in his own hands.

Li Chengqian changed the subject and said again:

"Next, the most important thing is to maintain stability! Xing Guogong, all this is due to you!"

"Yes! Your Royal Highness, I will definitely do a good job!"

"Is there anything else? If there is nothing else, retreat!"

Today, all the important things have been said, and the remaining trivial matters are not enough to be mentioned above in the court, so after only a while, he withdrew from the court.

After finishing the imperial court, Li Chengqian quickly finished approving the papers, and then went to his own potato field, where he had one more thing to do.
