Chapter 255 The contradiction between the old man and his concubine

Let him taste the refined fine salt, and his righteous words were to contribute to the Tang Dynasty.

I saw the little eunuch tasted it, tasted it again, and then tasted the third one.

Wang Wen asked impatiently: "How does it taste?"

The little eunuch reminiscent: "It's very salty."

"Can't it be salty?"

The little eunuch said again: "It's not bitter or astringent at all. Eunuch Wang, do you try it too?"

When Wang Wen saw this little eunuch tasted it, he looked like a ok person.

Wang Wen also tasted it himself and confirmed that it was only salty and no bitter taste, looking at Li Zheng suspiciously, "Why is this happening in the county marquis?"

"Because the impurities have gone away."

Wang Wen looked excited, "Fine salt! This is really fine salt."

Wang Wen was so excited that he almost jumped up. He was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears in his eyes. He knelt down again at Tai Chi Palace, "Your Majesty! We also have our own fine salt."

"I said, "Eunuch Wang, wouldn't it be better if you say it in front of His Majesty?"

"Yes!" Wang Wen came to his senses and hurriedly left with this small basin of fine salt.

It was already at night when the old eunuch Wang Wen came to the palace and knelt in front of Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, Li Zhengzhen has extracted the fine salt."

Li Shimin looked at the powder-like fine salt and said in surprise: "This is the first time I have seen such a white fine salt."

"That was the county marquis who removed all the impurities, and the color was very good, just like powder."

Li Shimin tasted it and tasted it, "Not any bitterness?"

Wang Wen looked excited, "Salt without impurities is not bitter."

Observing these fine salts, in addition to the sea salt in the hands of the Shandong gentry, this is the first time I have seen the salt in Guanzhong that can be so fine.

These salts are like powder and very white.

Even the sea salt in the hands of Shandong gentry all turned yellow, and the fine salt extracted by Li Zheng was not only like powder, but also as white as pearls, without any flaws.

"There is such clean salt in this world." Li Shimin said, unable to hide his smile on his face.

Wang Wen took out a booklet and said, "Your Majesty, the way Li Zheng made fine salt has been recorded on it."

Li Shimin opened the booklet, glanced at it and said, "Remember, don't spread this matter for the time being."

"I understand." Wang Wen nodded.

Empress Changsun quietly poured Li Shimin a glass of wine, "Your Majesty, Li Zheng is now a subordinate of the Secretariat, and has also been given a rank of General of the Longwu Army. He is still young and he may not be suitable for him to give him an official position."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Li Zhen is still young. He is already in the three provinces at the age of twelve. The court has already criticized him a lot."

After thinking about it, Li Shimin said, "The marriage between Lizhi and Li Zheng has never been settled."

"Your Majesty means..."

Li Shimin woke up and woke up and said, "Don't he like money? For every ten kilograms of fine salt, I will give him Li Zheng a deposit of money."

After saying that, Li Shimin was very satisfied with his decision.

Ten kilograms of fine salt are a constant price, which is already very cost-effective for Li Zheng.

Empress Changsun smiled bitterly. Now everyone in the court and the country knew that Li Zheng was His Majesty’s emperor’s son-in-law and his order had been issued.

But life is slow, and it seems that His Majesty still doesn't want to be so cheap Li Zheng.

Empress Changsun was also helpless, who made Lizhi the most beloved daughter of His Majesty?

It's not that easy to find Li Zheng so cheap.

Back at Lizheng Hall, Li Lizhi knew about her father's decision. She felt a little wronged and could not even touch her father.

Empress Changsun comforted: "Are you so anxious to get yourself married?"

Li Lizhi wiped a sword, "It's better not to seduce Li Zheng if there is any fox charm."

Since Li Lizhi took the sword from Ganlu Palace last time, His Majesty simply gave it to her.

Although she said this, she also had some compromises in her words. Lizhi was a sensible child and she understood His Majesty’s difficulties.

What Li Shimin wanted was Li Zheng's true surrender. As a minister, Your Majesty could marry the princess to his own minister.

But Li Zheng was unwilling to surrender, and Li Shimin was unwilling to admit his account.

Neither of these two men would give in unless Li Zheng surrendered to His Majesty.

Or it was the point where I had to marry Li Zheng.

Before she became the son-in-law, Empress Changsun could feel the confrontation between Li Zheng and Li Shimin.

Between Li Zheng's future father-in-law and the royal future son-in-law.

As the future mother-in-law, Queen Changsun felt a headache.

A contradictory relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law.

If Lizhi was not His Majesty’s favorite daughter, she might have married Li Zheng.

But beautiful is Li Shimin's heart, how could his beloved daughter easily marry Li Zheng?

When Wang Wen returned to Jingyang, there were also a team of officers and soldiers, hundreds of sows and thousands of hens.

"Your Majesty is so polite." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"The county marquis extracted fine salt, and His Majesty's reward is natural." Wang Wen waved his hand with a smile.

Three thousand soldiers standing behind surrounded the workshop that refined fine salt.

Wang Wen continued: "The county marquis is also asked to keep this matter confidential. His Majesty and the Queen promise that every ten kilograms of fine salt will be extracted, the county marquis will get the money."

Seeing the posture of these officers and soldiers, Li Zheng said: "It seems that people cannot get close to these three miles."

Wang Wen said: "Your Majesty means changing the place where fine salt is refined, not in Jingyang."

"Where should I put it?"

Wang Wen smiled with a little deeper meaning, "The county marquis will know in the future, so please ask the county marquis to improve the secret recipe."

I've known that there will be such a result.

Li Shimin would not let any outsider know that salt and iron are related to the foundation of the country, and they cannot be placed in Jingyang so loudly.

"For the sake of your Majesty giving me so many pigs and chickens." Li Zheng took the booklet handed over by Wang Wen, which recorded the steps of refining fine salt himself.

Wang Wen said: "This transaction is not a loss. Now the county marquis is still young, so your Majesty will be given an official title again."

Write down some things to pay attention to in Wang Wen's booklet, and then improve the steps, and hand them to Wang Wen again: "You must follow the above precautions. Never reduce the steps to save salt ore. If you fail to do one step in these steps, you will kill people."

"Don't worry, the county marquis is his Majesty's order, and he dare not make any omissions."

Just as he was about to leave, Wang Wen asked again: "Why does the county marquis want a pig?"

"We in Jingyang are poor, and it is not easy to eat a meal of meat. It is all for the sake of the children in Jingyang to grow up healthily." Li Zheng sighed, "It is a very difficult road to get rid of poverty and become rich. I have to work harder."

"It's really the same as what Your Majesty said. The old slave of the county marquis admires him." After saying that, Wang Wen bowed to Li Zheng and was about to leave.
