Chapter 500 Dad Chapter 19; I told you to tell me

Li Shimin laughed so hard when he heard the quarrels of several of his generals. Since Li Dalang began to raise animals in captivity, the cattle in the important officials' homes have been killed in turn, and five or six cows have died!

He sent most of the people to the palace to honor himself, and Li Shimin knew it. After seeing the food arranged neatly, Li Shimin happily reached out to signal;

"Come on, my dear friends, our monarchs and ministers will also have an open-air banquet today, so let's start enjoying the food."

A group of civil and military officials lowered their heads and responded neatly;

"It's Your Majesty."

A large group of kings and ministers gathered around their respective tables and began to eat and drink. As soon as Li Shimin put down the empty wine lord, he heard the sound of several millstones being started working at the same time in the three rooms behind him. Du Ruhui, the eighteenth scholar of the Qin Palace, looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile;

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for congratulating Your Majesty, Li Dalang's poisonous salt has been turned into salt."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction with his smile, and the farther table began to discuss it.

The generals who were a little far away from there were asking each other;

"Brother, what did Du Pushe and His Majesty say just now?"

"Brother Yu didn't hear it either."

"Ask that..."

"I asked, Du Pushe congratulated His Majesty, saying that he was congratulating Li Dalang for making poisonous salt into edible coarse salt."

"It's really done?"

"No? The door has never been opened. Dozens of craftsmen have never come out once. How could Du Pushe know that he has become? Could it be that Du Pushe has also become an old Taoist priest with a bull's nose?"

"Hey~ Brother, don't say it, maybe it's really possible. If one day Du Pushe is tired of being the prime minister and wants to change his taste, it's possible to be a Taoist priest."

"Hey! Brother, stop making trouble. I am not those three fools. Why should I fool my brother? Du Pushe is doing a good job as a prime minister, how can he become a Taoist priest!"

Many civil and military officials and generals who were close to Li Shimin came here to rush to toast and congratulate the emperor, which was very lively!

Li Shimin happily ate and clinked glasses with everyone, but he tasted it every time and even so he finished three big cups.

The king and his ministers ate happily and had a round stomach, but they didn't eat too much wine, so they were sober and waiting to see the coarse salt.

Before we knew it, we had already entered Shen Shi 2. The movements in the three rooms finally stopped. The tables in the yard were already in a mess, and everyone had already eaten and drank.

Li Shimin closed his eyes slightly and paid attention to the movement behind him. Not long after, the two doors creaked and opened from the inside. Li Shimin sat motionlessly, only suddenly opened his eyes, and the light in his eyes burst out!

A large group of civil servants and military generals turned their heads neatly and looked at the three large tiled houses. Li Yu walked forward with a graceful look. Behind him were still two people carrying a basket of salt and came out one after another.

When Li Yu and more than 30 tribe members carried the eighteen baskets of salt to the open space surrounded by the Eight Immortals Tables where the king and ministers were having food, screams burst into surprises one after another;

"God!"

"My mother? He's so damn white as snow. Is this?"

"God! Is this Li Dalang a reincarnation of a fairy? Otherwise, how could he have such supernatural powers to turn poisonous salt into such snow-white fine salt?"

"That's not! The most expensive salt we eat is not as good as half of this refined salt!"

Li Shimin saw Li Dalang's extremely disappointed expression and almost squirted out the wine he had eaten for lunch;

"Hahahahahahaha! Dalang is exempt from gifts."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After agreeing, Li Yu dug his nose bored and directed his tribesmen;

"Take out some of the fine salt and put it on an empty plate and let your Majesty check it out in person."

"only!"

A guard of the Lin family took out a ceramic plate that had been prepared and dug a lot and brought it to Li Yu. He took it and held it on Li Shimin's table with his hands. Then he stuck it with his fingers and put it in his mouth. His salty expression changed. This was to try the poison for His Majesty the Emperor. Li Yu did it directly by himself to save trouble.

Li Shimin happily imitated Li Yu's appearance, and pressed his index finger hard on the plate, put it in his mouth and tasted the taste carefully.

It is very different from Li Yu's inability to bear it. Li Shimin carefully tasted the aftertaste and his face looked very calm. This is an attempt to deal with many important things, so Li Shimin must of course be careful.

After savoring it, Li Shimin said nothing and pondered for a long time. All the civil and military ministers did not know the specific situation and could only wait quietly for the emperor to speak.

After a long time, Li Shimin sighed and waved his hand;

"Dig some of the tables and ask your dear friends to taste them yourself!"

"Abide by the order."

Li Yu agreed and turned around and ordered the Lin family members to act according to the emperor's orders. A group of the imperial guards of the Lin family began to work and divide salt, and the civil and military officials around him also began to discuss privately;

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, it seems that His Majesty is very dissatisfied."

"Did Li Dalang fail? Although the salt looks snow-white and clean, it is actually not enough to eat it?"

"Look! I just said, how can poisonous salt become something to eat?"

"That's right, Brother Niu said it is reasonable. Since ancient times, it can kill people by eating poisonous salt for two or three meals. This is common sense that three-year-old children know.

You can talk about any mess and want to turn poisonous salt into something that can be eaten. Let’s take a look! Your Majesty is so uncomfortable!”

"Oh... don't talk about brothers, after all, Li Dalang has a good intention. He also said that he would sell the refined salt produced at less than 30% of the current salt price in the east and west markets. He was good at it. He was either a bad person or a young and frivolous person who didn't know the importance of it!"

Li Yu brought the plates one by one, and when Niu Jinda came to deliver them, he put them down with a clang, which scared the general!

"Look, see! You can't say less than a few words? Is it unhappy for the Clan Chief Li? Even if I mess up the matter with salt, wouldn't there be other business that can take advantage of it? A group of short-sighted generals!"

"Oh, I said Lao Niu, why have you become a shameless virtue now? You've told me all the fucking words to tell me!"

"Damn it, I'll finish talking about it. I'll try this poisonous salt first... Oh my bah! Bah bah!"

"What's going on? Lao Hei? Even if you don't eat this poisonous salt, you won't kill anyone. What do you mean?"

"Hey! Don't mention it, it's so fucking damn!"

"Hmm? Is it very toxic or too salty? I'm here to try it... My mother, why is it so salty? Bah bah bah..."

What is different from the generals at this table is that most people didn't spit it out, and they gently tasted the aftertaste of the fine salt, and everyone's thoughts were different.

Du Ruhui thought that the soldiers of the Sixteen Guards would no longer have to bring coarse cloth to make do with them, and all the war horses and the livestock that brought food could be eaten.

Fang Xuanling and other groups of civil servants thought that the people of the world would no longer have to worry about not having salt to eat this time. As the Minister of Revenue, Changsun Wuji naturally thought about the price of salt and the purchasing strength of the people. As for the pieces of poisonous salt, he did not think much about this car of poisonous salt. Not to mention that people had been eating Ma Jue for five days, they just said that in these more than three hours, thirty strong men were busy working and making this out?

Then Li Dalang would have to lower the price of salt by 30%, and even if he had a little profit, he would have very little money. Therefore, Changsun Wuji did not feel sorry for him at all. Even if it was a priceless business, as long as it was helpful to his career, Changsun Wuji would devote himself without hesitation.

Li Shimin watched all the civil and military officials present tasted it, and then he spoke slowly;

"Dear friends, everyone thinks that if the fine salt produced by Li Dalang is sold at the same price as the salt in the two markets, can anyone buy it and change it?"

Du Ruhui was closest to the emperor, and responded directly;

"Your Majesty, I think that if the price of salt sold is the same as the price in the market, other salt merchants will have no other way to survive except to ruthlessly lower the price."

As soon as Du Ruhui spoke, his old partner Fang Xuanling immediately continued to speak;

"That's true, Your Majesty, imagine that such snow-white, clean and fine salt is coming out, and it is even more salty. If you sell it at the same price, the people are actually affordable. You don't have to put too much like before. But as Du Pushe said, I'm afraid other salt merchants will close their doors."

"Report to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that he should sell more money."

"Oh? Why did Jingde say this?"

"When you say that, because these dozen baskets of salt don't mention the consumption, you only say that the nearly forty strong men of Erlang have been busy for more than three hours without eating or drinking. This is the output. It can be seen that although the fine salt is good, it is also very labor-intensive. If you sell it, you may even lose less than the loss if you don't have any right. The old minister said nonsense and asked Your Majesty to check it."

Li Shimin looked at Yuchi Gong with a smile;

"Jingde said this time that I was heartbroken. Everyone said that I took care of this ruffian too strictly and did not feel sorry for his secret technique. Now the court has solved many urgent problems. In the future, the court will no longer be greedy for the secret technique of the second house of Li.

Not only that, I also have to care about it. Li Dalang said before that the fine salt should be sold at less than 30% in the market. This is sincere, but after all, it is the child's character and cannot be counted. So today I will discuss with my dear friends. The amount of fine salt should be sold is not to lose money on Li Dalang, nor will it be difficult for the people to eat it."

Li Shimin even spoke up and decided to make a group of subordinates naturally changed their minds!

"Your Majesty, I think it can be the same as the East-West Market, and there is no need to deliberately reduce the price by 30%."

"Your Majesty! I think it will be bad if you increase the market by up to 10% of the market and sell it to the people."

"Your Majesty attached the proposal of the house servant She."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

Li Shimin was about to make a decision, but Li Yu, who was standing at the bottom, spoke very embarrassedly, because Li Yu knew the most. Today, the thirty or forty tribesmen were really tired. How could they not be tired? It would have been completed long ago. Li Yu deliberately accompanied everyone to make a sound for outsiders to listen for a long time.

Li Yu stood at the emperor's table with a serious expression on his face and gave a passionate speech;

"Your Majesty, this is the beginning, and the tribesmen are not familiar with the process. In fact, after doing it a few more times, you can get a lot faster after becoming a mature player. At that time, the human power consumption will be reduced a little.

In the future, you can directly send your tribe members to live near the poisonous salt field, which saves labor and time, and there is not much capital. Besides, the food eaten by manpower is cultivated in your own fields, and it doesn’t cost a lot of money. The selling price is less than 30% of the market, so you can still make some profits.

Your Majesty feels sorry for me, I am very grateful to you. My uncles feel sorry for my nephew, and my nephew understands it clearly, but a gentleman is as good as he can. Since he has words in front, he will not lose money if he makes a profit now, so please allow him.

Whether it is sold to the sons of the sixteen guards of the imperial court or to the people of His Majesty, they all decided that the best price for salt is 30% lower than the current price.

I am happy, relieved, and at ease to do something for Your Majesty. I have earned too much and cannot sleep or eat at night. Please help Your Majesty and please help your uncles."

This was the first time that Li Shimin looked at Li Yu with joy and affection;

"Are you sure you can still make some profit?"

"If you say that to Your Majesty, you dare not deceive Your Majesty. There are really profitable things, and there are still many."

"Nonsense, I know that you are loyal to me and the court. Just make a fortune, but there are still many people? The clan members are also human beings, so they should not be used as cows and horses. You are the leader of the clan and have to learn to feel sorry for your subordinates. You cannot use human power to death just because you want to earn more. That would be too much of a loss."

"It's Your Majesty, I remember it in my heart. I will not treat my servants as cattle and horses."

"Okay, there is no need to talk about this anymore. Since Li Dalang said he could make some money and wanted to be that humble gentleman, I will just make it happen, so I will sell it at the price he said."

A group of important civil and military officials stood up, and their expressions were full of admiration when they looked at Li Yu!
