"Everyone, let's go to the living room for a cup of tea and chat while drinking!"

After eating and drinking, Su Chen invited everyone to the living room.

"My dear nephew, in order to avoid delaying important matters, I will leave first and go to the palace to meet His Majesty. We will meet again next time!"

Li Shimin gave Li Daoxuan a hidden look, and he immediately understood.

"Everyone, there is no need to see you off, brother Li, I'm leaving!"

Everyone bowed and saw him off. When they walked to the door of the living room, Li Daoxuan turned around and bowed and left.

"Big pot, Xiao Xiji wants to drink that."

After Li Shimin and others saw Li Daoxuan off, they sat back in the living room.

Of course, Su Chen knew what she was talking about, and smiled: Wait!

After a while, Su Chen directly moved out a box, which was a box nailed with wood.

A box of 50 cans, enough for her to drink for a while.

"Little persimmon, you can only drink 3 cans a day!"

The little girl nodded vigorously.

He put the box on the ground, took out a can for Xiao Shizi, and asked Wang Chao to move the box to Li Shimin's carriage.

Li Shimin wanted to say, let me have a taste, but he was embarrassed to fight with his daughter for food.

"Brother-in-law, why didn't my aunt come with you today?"

Su Chen saw that Empress Changsun was not there, but a little girl came.

"Mother has been ill these days, and there is also a 6-year-old brother at home who needs someone to take care of him."

Su Chen nodded, "Auntie is fine, right?"

Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head, "No big deal, she will be fine in a few days."

"Master, the villagers are waiting in the field now, should we move the seeds to the field?"

Su Chen nodded, "Move them out and plant them, and leave two bags of corn and potatoes."

"Yes, Master!"

Li Chengqian said to Su Chen at this time:

"Brother-in-law, give me some corn and potatoes later, I will take them back to plant in the yard."

There is still a large part of the vacant land in the Imperial Garden, which cannot be wasted.

"Okay, I'll pack it for you when you leave. Also, bring more corn cobs for your aunt to try."

Su Chen suddenly looked at Changle, and after thinking, he said:

"Lizhi, don't make wine or salt in the backyard of your restaurant in the future. Just make wine on this farm. This place is big."

"I guess some people have already started to want to transport the imperial liquid to other places and sell it at a higher price."

"Why don't we do it ourselves? We can open a restaurant in the prefecture, otherwise we can just sell wine."

Looking at Changsun Wuji and others, he continued:

"If you uncles want to participate, you can discuss with your uncle how to cooperate. I will provide the winemaking method."

Changsun Wuji and others secretly glanced at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded lightly, thinking: Business can be done, but the shares are still... I have the final say.

Changsun Wuji immediately stood up and thanked him: "Then thank you, nephew."

Others also thanked him.

Wei Zheng just bowed his hand to indicate.

Before that, he even refused to accept the shop that Li Shimin gave him.

So Wei Zheng was the poorest among them.

After everyone discussed it, Changle and Su Chen each took 40% of the state, prefecture and county, and the rest was negotiated by Li Shimin and them.

It is said that Li Shimin reluctantly accepted a 60-40 profit split with them after trying hard to refuse.

"Brother-in-law, there will be a big business in a while, let's do it together."

Su Chen patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Okay, brother-in-law, when the time comes, you need people to give to people, but you don't need money. I just have a lot of people."

When Li Chengqian heard Su Chen say it was a big business, it must be a big business.

Su Chen thought: It's just right, I just need people.

But at this time, neither Li Chengqian nor Su Chen thought of it.

The so-called people were all refugees.

Tens of thousands of people at once.

"By the way, brother-in-law, I have a small business for you to do. Are you interested?"

Su Chen smiled and looked at Li Chengqian.

"Boy, he does everything regardless of the size of the business."

Li Shimin said before Li Chengqian could speak.

Su Chen nodded and smiled.

"Wang Chao, take a small bowl of the saltpeter you dug, and get a basin of water, and prepare another small basin with water."

Su Chen thought: Let me open your eyes first.

He knew that Tang Chao didn't know how to make ice at this time, so he could only mine it in winter and save it for summer.

But it was extremely difficult to store it. In summer, there was little ice left.

Not long after, Wang Chao prepared the things and placed them in the middle of the living room.

"Everyone, please look!"

Su Chen put the small basin in the big basin, and then sprinkled some saltpeter in the big basin.

Everyone saw a puff of white smoke floating up, and didn't know what Su Chen was performing.

After a while, the white smoke dissipated.

Li Shimin walked forward, squatted on the ground, and reached out to touch the small basin.Water inside.

Then he touched the water in the big basin and found that it was frozen.

"This, this, how come it's frozen?"

Li Shimin stood up and asked incoherently.

Everyone thought: Could this guy be an immortal?

Su Chen smiled and said, "This thing is called saltpeter. It will absorb heat when it comes into contact with water, so the water will freeze."

"The ice in this big basin cannot be eaten by people because it contains saltpeter. It can only be used to prevent heatstroke and cool down. The ice in the small basin can be eaten."

Then, Su Chen looked at Li Chengqian and asked with a smile:

"Brother-in-law, how about it? Selling ice cubes, do you want to do it?"

Li Chengqian didn't think about it, grabbed Su Chen's hand and said:

"Brother-in-law, this must be done. You don't know that I have to borrow money every month to live!"

After that, he glanced at Changle.

Then, Li Chengqian saw something, "Brother-in-law, where does that saltpeter come from?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's plenty! You can find a good shop and come to get it anytime."

Li Chengqian patted Su Chen's shoulder and smiled and said, "Okay, brother-in-law, how about you take 60% and I take 40%?"

Su Chen waved his hand, "I only need 20%, this is not a big business, I can't make much money."

He said he couldn't make much money, but others didn't think so!

However, this is indeed not a big business, but business is good in summer.

...

"Su Chen, I will send 50 more guards and servants later."

"Be sure to take good care of those grain crops."

Li Shimin and others were in a hurry to return to the palace to discuss the fine salt. They said goodbye to Su Chen and returned to the palace after sitting for a while.

"Okay, uncle, wait a minute, I'll have someone pack some potatoes and corn for you to take back."

After that, Wang Chao packed the potatoes and corn and put them on the carriage.

"Big pot, Xiao Xiji will come to play with you later!"

......

Su Chen watched Li Shimin and others leave. After the carriage disappeared, Su Chen returned to the manor.

"Wang Chao, Ma Han, call a few villagers to bring digging tools and follow me to the vicinity of the manor to have a look!"

Su Chen was going to find something.

The group came to the outskirts of the manor. Su Chen squatted down from time to time and grabbed a handful of soil and squeezed it in his hands.

Due to the recent drought, it is difficult to tell from the surface whether there is a clay layer underneath.

Su Chen just wanted to find a place with clay. He wanted to make red bricks.

As the group walked, they came to a red soil hill.

There are no trees here, only a few unknown weeds can be seen occasionally.

Su Chen asked the villagers to dig a small area, squatted down and squeezed it with his hands.

"Hahaha, found it."

According to habit, take out the homemade map and mark it.
