Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

The next day, the Royal Manor.

Early in the morning, the cave was full of people, looking forward to whether the things they had worked hard for the past few days would be successful.

"I heard from the owner that this thing called red brick can be used to build a house, and it is not afraid of wind and rain."

"It would be great if this red brick could really be made."

"That's right, at the beginning of the year, the old Zhang family's house was washed away by rain."

"The owner of the manor will not lie to us, we all believe in the owner."

The villagers gathered around the brick kiln and talked about it.

They were all waiting for Su Chen to come.

...

In the past few days, Su Chen organized the villagers to build a brick-burning site and made a kiln of bricks.

This is a temporary brick kiln, which is made of blue bricks bought from outside. The space is not very large, and only 5,000 red bricks were burned.

This kiln of test bricks started burning three days ago, and after the whole night last night, it should have cooled down.

Today is the time to verify whether it is successful or not.

"Everyone, make way, the owner is here!"

"Owner!"

"Owner!"

Some villagers found Su Chen and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu walking towards the brick kiln.

Su Chen smiled and nodded to the villagers, as if to say hello.

He walked directly to the cave entrance and tested it with his hand, and found that the surface was no longer warm.

"Uncle Fan, Uncle Zhang, you open the cave entrance, remember to stand on the side."

Su Chen turned around and directed the two villagers to open the cave.

Uncle Fan and Uncle Zhang picked up the hoe, spit on their hands, rubbed them, walked to the side of the cave entrance, picked up the hoe and started digging.

This cave entrance was sealed by them three days ago, and they were very familiar with the size and location of the cave entrance.

The cave is taller than a person, like a door, and adults can easily enter and exit.

After a while, a hole was dug in the cave entrance, and Su Chen immediately stopped.

Afterwards, Su Chen slowly approached the cave entrance and found that there was still some residual heat flowing out.

However, it is still no problem to move a few bricks out of the small hole.

Zhang Long handed Su Chen a special pair of tongs that he had made in advance.

Su Chen picked up the tongs, took out two bricks from the hole, and threw them on the ground.

He did this 5 or 6 times in a row, and threw the bricks on the ground to collide, making a crisp sound.

When Su Chen heard this sound, he knew that the red bricks were successfully fired.

He picked up the red bricks on the ground and touched them. They were very crisp and had a regular shape.

"Haha, everyone's hard work was not in vain. Our red bricks were successfully fired."

Su Chen laughed and said to the villagers.

The villagers raised their hands and cheered!

It was not popular to applaud in the Tang Dynasty at that time.

"Everyone, take out all the red bricks from this kiln and continue to burn them."

"Use the burned red bricks to build ten more brick kilns. When the number of red bricks is enough, we will build red brick houses for everyone."

Immediately, the villagers cheered excitedly again.

They dispersed and did what they should do.

Su Chen and several villagers with masonry skills talked about the size of the new brick kiln. Each kiln can burn 15,000 bricks at a time.

The site is large enough to dry bricks on one side and stack finished bricks on the other.

After getting along for more than 20 days, they are also familiar with Su Chen.

Su Chen is even happier that there are so many hardworking villagers in the manor.

"Everyone work hard, and the others will go with me to water the crops and weed."

The village chief waved his hand, and everyone quickly got busy.

"Let's go, I saw that the peppers have all fruited yesterday."

A woman said happily.

Su Chen returned to his room, thinking about making some plans.

We must get the cement out now.

…

Today is the third day since the salt shop opened.

The East Market Salt Shop only has 6 million jin of salt, which makes Wang Zhen, the head of the Wang family, feel that his acquisition plan has seen the light of day.

He believes that the salt in the salt shop is decreasing every day, and there should not be much snowflake salt for sale.

How can this quality of salt be as much as the mud on the mountain?

Wang Zhen nodded confidently and drank tea.

At the same time, he felt a little unwilling, "It's a pity that the West Market Salt Shop was taken by the Cui family first."

"Butler, did the people sent out find out where the snowflake salt of this salt shop was transported from?"

Wang Zhen wanted to find the owner behind it directly, even if he couldn't get the method of making salt.

He wanted to buy out the snowflake salt directly from the owner.

In this way, how can the Cui family compete with his Wang family for salt.

In the future, the Wang family will be the only one in the salt business.

"Master, I sent someone to follow the salt shop owner and clerk. After they closed the shop, they stayed in an inn and never went out all day. This has been the case for the past few days."

The old housekeeper was also confused after saying this.

Wang Zhen pointedHe looked down, without asking further, frowning and thinking about something.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated.

The salt shop closed down once the snowflake salt was sold out every day.

After the curfew, the soldiers disguised as servants secretly transported the refined salt outside the city directly to the salt shop.

If the noble families knew that the salt belonged to him, Li Shimin.

They would never buy the salt.

…

The next day, the morning court.

Li Shimin, sitting on the dragon chair, seemed to be in a good mood.

Although he tried his best to cover it up, a hint of excitement could still be seen on his face.

"If you have something to report, please report it. If not, please leave the court!"

Unlike in the past, without waiting for other officials to respond, Du Ruhui, the Minister of War, stepped forward to report.

"Your Majesty, I sent out a secret agent to report that it has been found that the person who sneaked into Chang'an City is a Turkic spy."

"Intends to buy a large number of important daily necessities from our Tang Dynasty and intends to go to war with our Tang Dynasty."

"Therefore, I suggest that the major gates of Chang'an City be blocked and strictly checked to prevent the outflow of large quantities of daily necessities."

As soon as the voice fell, the generals led by Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong showed excitement and asked for battle.

It seems that the situation is very serious.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other civil officials immediately asked His Majesty to approve the request.

"Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to make a holy decision and block the city gates and conduct strict inspections."

Li Shimin frowned after hearing this, and it seemed difficult to make a decision. He was silent for a while.

"My dear ministers, if the city gates are blocked rashly, it may cause suspicion among the people and panic among the people!"

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked down and smiled at each other.

Changsun Wuji stepped out of the line in fear and bowed:

"Your Majesty, there are priorities. This is a war. Please understand!"

"Please understand!"

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others immediately followed and pleaded.

"Approved! Post a notice in the city. From today, send heavy troops to guard the major gates of Chang'an, strictly check and prohibit large quantities of materials from leaving the city, otherwise it will be treated as treason!"

After careful consideration, Li Shimin made a difficult decision.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

...

In the imperial study.

"Haha, Su kid wants to be a noble family, eat salt as food!"

"Haha, even if it is eaten as food, I want to see how long it takes them to finish all the salt."

"Hahaha..."

"Hey, I, Old Cheng and Old Hei, have worked hard these days to help those old bastards refine so much salt."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone was in a good mood. Not only did they solve the problem of salt, but they also made the treasury more abundant.

"Your Majesty, Queen, has your condition improved recently?"

A few days ago, Changsun Wuji went to Lizheng Palace to see his sister. Her face was not very good and she kept coughing.

"Alas! The imperial physician carefully diagnosed and treated her every day, but Guanyin Bi still did not get better."

Li Shimin, who was originally in a good mood and laughing, was suddenly full of worry.

"In the past, the queen only coughed occasionally in autumn and winter. Now summer is coming. Logically, she should not cough so badly."

Changsun Wuji was also puzzled.
