Chapter 398 A Clean Chest

The salt incident this time has greatly filled Li Er's inner treasury. Almost all the wealth of the several great families flowed into Li Er's inner treasury because of the purchase of high-priced salt, and after the aristocratic family collapsed, the salt they hoarded returned to Li Er's second hand as a matter of course. Here, in addition to distributing part of it to the people, the rest continued to be sold through the imperial salt shop.

The price of salt has fallen back to the normal price. Ordinary coarse salt is twenty or thirty cents a bucket, and refined salt is one hundred cents a bucket. In fact, the cost of refined salt shipped from Lingnan is lower than the original coarse salt, so Li Er decided to slowly cancel the salt lake. In the salt field, the refined salt produced by seawater will gradually replace the coarse salt produced in the salt lake.

When the carriage drove into Chang'an, Chang'an had already returned to its former prosperity. After the fall of the aristocratic family, many merchants took the opportunity to rise up. The aristocratic family had many properties in their hands. Naturally, it was impossible for the imperial court to send people to take care of these properties, so they all converted them to the merchants. Now, if there was an aristocratic family in the past, ordinary businessmen would not be able to get their hands on these huge and lucrative industries.

Wang Xiang wrote a letter to Laifu, so he also got a share of the pie, but it will take some time to resume normal operations.

First I went back to the Marquis Mansion, and then went to the palace to meet Li Er, and then I met Li Yuanba, who was miraculous.

In the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin gave Wang Xiang a meaningful look and only asked some general questions about the Lingnan War, and didn't mention anything else.

Li Er said that he would bring Wang Xiang to the Lizheng Hall after the Taiji Hall discussion was over, so Li Zhi went to the Lizheng Hall early in the morning to wait. Wang Xiang appeared in front of him intact and shouted excitedly: "Wang Jiancheng!"

Li Er snorted in dissatisfaction, and instead of saluting his father, he called Wang Xiang excitedly.

Hearing Li Er's humming, Li Zhi reacted, and quickly saluted Li Er: "Father."

"Yeah." Li Er nodded with displeasure and said, "Father and Wang Zixin have something to talk about, so you can take little Sizi out to play."

Li Zhi knew that they must have something important to discuss, so he nodded obediently and took Xiao Sizi to the outer hall. When he passed by Wang Xiang, he whispered: "Wang Jiancheng, the handheld game console I brought back Looks like it's running out of battery, did you bring me a battery?"

Seeing Li Er turned his head and looked over, Li Zhi quickly closed his mouth and walked out with his head bowed. Wang Xiang was speechless as he looked at the handheld game console in Li Zhi's hand. He had no idea that Li Zhi had brought the handheld game console back to Chang'an. .

In fact, Li Zhi originally wanted to bring back the big game console from the Marquis of Xunzhou. Firstly, there was no electricity in Chang’an, and secondly, because Little Lolita didn’t allow it. A lot of things came back, and the big-faced cat plush toy held by Xiao Sizi was one of Xiao Loli's exclusive toys. Unexpectedly, this guy would dare to secretly bring it back to Chang'an.

Li Zhi and Xiao Sizi went out to play, and only Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and Wang Xiang were left in the inner hall.

Empress Changsun's body was still the same as before, neither good nor bad, and her complexion was as gentle and peaceful as ever.

"In the Battle of Lingnan, I heard that you were injured by a strange man from Tubo with a short spear. Is there such a thing?"

Many Tang Juns have seen this matter, so naturally they can't hide it, Wang Xiang nodded.

"The short spear pierced through the left chest?"

Wang Xiang smiled wryly and continued to nod. He understood what Li Er meant. A person's heart is on the left chest. When Cheng Chuliang was pierced by a sharp spear in his right chest, he almost died. How could the piercing viscera running through the left chest be intact?
"I want to see your wound."

Li Er looked into Wang Xiang's eyes with burning eyes.

"Ah?" Wang Xiang was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at Empress Changsun next to him and said hesitantly, "This... this..."

He doesn't mind Li Er looking at his wounds. There are already many capable people in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Er will know about the fact that capable people have "immortality" sooner or later, but the Empress Changsun is still here, so he can't just leave it like this Show your chest.

Li Er knew what Wang Xiang was thinking when he saw Wang Xiang's expression. He slapped him on the head and said angrily, "I and the queen are both your elders, what are you thinking about in your mind!"

Depend on!It's not that I want to think about it, but I'm afraid that you will think about it afterwards.Wang Xiang felt depressed for a while.

Li Er didn't care about Wang Xiang, so naturally he didn't care. He tore off his clothes to reveal his smooth chest, and he had to shake his body tremblingly.

Li Shimin's eyes were fixed, and he said in a low voice: "It really is."

Seeing that the husband and wife finished finishing their clothes, Wang Xiang asked suspiciously, "What did His Majesty say?"

Li Shimin looked up at Wang Xiang and said, "Your chest is as smooth as usual, it doesn't look like it was pierced by a short spear."

When Cheng Chuliang was seriously injured, although he saved his life, he left two hideous scars on his chest and back, but Wang Xiang didn't have any scars on his body, which is really weird.

Wang Xiang was thinking about how to explain it, when Li Shimin suddenly said indifferently: "You are also a strange person, right?"

Hey?Wang Xiang was shocked. The strange person Li Er said was a person with abilities, but how did he know that I was a person with abilities?Wang Xiang himself has not discovered what talent he has yet.

Seeing Wang Xiang's reaction, Li Er knew that his guess was right, and he said, "King Zhao captured a Turkic man. This man had been stabbed several times, and he thought he would die soon. He didn't expect that he would recover in a few days. His wounds healed without scars."

I see.Wang Xiang suddenly realized, nodded and admitted his identity as a strange person.

Seeing Wang Xiang nodding, Li Er's breathing suddenly became a little short, and he stared into his eyes and asked word by word: "How much do you know about strange people?"

Li Er had a premonition that Wang Xiang must know more about strange people than anyone else.

Just as Wang Xiang was about to speak, Li Er said first, "Don't fool me. Of the 33 Kunlun slaves you bought back then, twelve of them were strange men with infinite strength. You must know about strange men."

What?Wang Xiang didn't know about it yet, and he was shocked when Li Er said it. Among the 33 Kunlun slaves, there are [-] power talents?
Although he knows a lot about capable people, it was really just an unintentional move to buy Kunlun Nu at the beginning. Judging from Li Er's expression, it seems that he already knew that there are many strange people in Kunlun Nu.

Wang Xiang said frankly: "I know a little about strange people, but I really didn't expect the matter of Kunlun slaves. If His Majesty hadn't told me, I wouldn't know that there are so many strange people in Kunlun slaves."

Wang Xiang didn't look like he was lying, Li Er frowned, nodded and said, "Then tell me what is going on with the strange man first."
