Datang: Signed in for Seven Years and Was Exposed by Empress Changsun

Although current mining techniques are limited, there are still vast amounts of salt that have yet to be discovered.

But it has to be said that the amount of salt stored in Datang is very high.

Even if there is still a priority for mining methods, Datang now has another advantage.

That is the advancement of purification technology, which purifies poisonous salt that was previously inedible into edible salt.

The mined salt, including edible and inedible, becomes edible after being purified by Li Hong's method.

The number of people in Datang is now less than [-] million, these mined purified salt.

It is enough for every family to eat, and it can last for about three years.

During these three years, other salt mines, salt wells, and salt pans were mined.

Whether it is edible salt or inedible poisonous salt that is mined, it becomes edible after being purified by Li Hong's method.

So there is no need to worry about the problem of salt now.

As a result, Datang's salt storage capacity is somewhat surplus, and it is still a blind monopoly.

Many ordinary people can't afford salt, and the rich can't buy all the extra salt.

Salt also has a shelf life. It can be stored for one or two years, but not for three or four years.

A lot of salt mined in Datang is now because it has not been sold out.

The other party is in the warehouse, all broken.

If it is to maintain the price of salt, it is understandable to let the salt go bad.

But now there is no need to maintain a high price for salt at all, and only small profits but quick turnover can make Datang a lot of money.

So he insisted on privatization and let salt enter every household.

Seeing that Li Hong was silent, Li Shimin on the other end was a little anxious.

"General Li, tell me what should be done?"

"Your Majesty, I think it should be privatized!"

"you sure?"

"Very sure, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Li Hong's words, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling laughed.

"Listen!" Changsun Wuji pointed at Li Hong, "Listen to what General Li said. General Li supports privatization!"

Fang Xuanling was also happy, "That's right, General Li is very resourceful. He said that it can be privatized, so most likely it will be privatized."

These two people are the faction that supports the privatization of salt, and Changsun Wuji understands it very well.

There is only one reason why he is so supportive of privatization.

Because he is the representative of the aristocratic family in the imperial court, and their eldest grandson's family is comparable to the capitalists of later generations.

He has monopolized many industries because his power is too great.

As the younger sister of Changsun Wuji, Empress Changsun is somewhat afraid of Changsun Wuji.

I am afraid that the power of the eldest grandson's family will be too great, so that it will threaten the power of Li Tang's family.

I have seen this at the end of the Sui Dynasty. This is how the Li family started their business.

Back then, the Li Tang family was an aristocrat with great power.

Li Yuan's grandfather, Li Hu, was one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty.

The Yang family in the previous dynasty was also aristocratic in the Western Wei Dynasty and stole their land.

Speaking of which, these nobles are all related.

So empress changsun was afraid that this kind of thing would happen to the Li family again, which would benefit the changsun family.

Although Empress Changsun is from the Changsun family, she married the Li family after all.

Moreover, as a queen, even if he didn't think about Li Tang, he would think about his son.

In the future, the country will definitely belong to his son, if there is another person like Li Yuan.

Then her son's country will definitely not be stable, so she will spare no effort to suppress her natal family.

To clear the way for his son, of course, this did play a role.

At least so that the eldest grandson's family can't use the name of her eldest grandson queen to grow bigger.

Although the Changsun family was suppressed by the Empress Changsun, Changsun Wuji was still flourishing.

After all, the hero who founded the country also held a high position.

He can't do well even if he wants to, and now he is extremely supportive of privatization.

It is because although the eldest grandson's family has many businesses, but there is no such business as salt.

If he can get the right to buy and sell salt, then he is confident that in a short time.

Let Changsun's family become the number one salt merchant in the Tang Dynasty, after all, he is behind it.
