Chapter 317: Negotiating with Li Shimin


Yu Wenzhe looked at the scene in front of him and quietly retreated.

No way, due to the restrictions of this era, badminton rackets are not easy to make, and two pairs were made yesterday, and it took most of the day, if this is reacted by other concubines, then don't do anything else.

Because the surrounding concubines all looked back and forth with the badminton, Yu Wenzhe easily withdrew from the imperial garden.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw Li Shimin standing outside, looking inside with wide eyes, but he didn't mean to go in.

"Lin Zhe, what's wrong inside, what's going on, why are all my concubines gathered here, the queen?"

Seeing Yu Wenzhe coming out inside, Li Shimin suddenly came to his senses, don't think about it, you provoked it again Yu Wenzhe looked at Li Shimin with a relaxed appearance, and pursed his lips with disdain.

After a period of explanation, Li Shimin fully understood what caused the scene in front of him.

"You really have a heart, but this badminton is so attractive, I can go in and take a look" Li Shimin expressed high praise for Yu Wenzhe's thoughts for the sake of the queen, and he was also interested in the scene in front of him, and walked towards the imperial garden.

"Well, what's wrong?"

Then, Li Shimin looked at Yu Wenzhe who was blocking in front of him and asked suspiciously.

Yu Wenzhe couldn't wait for Li Shimin, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his heart, it is the right thing to come to you today, if I follow you back to the Imperial Garden, I may let you sell it in a while.

If you're trying to please your own women and give me an order to start making rackets, that's fucked up.

"Your Majesty, I entered the palace today to have a serious matter, about the establishment of the secret guard" "Why, it's not asking for money."

Li Shimin suddenly showed a wary look and said.

"Of course not" "It's okay if it's not, let's go, go back to the Taiji Hall to talk" "Your Majesty, let's go to the imperial dining room."

"What's wrong with the imperial dining room, you haven't eaten, don't you want to come to me to eat?"

Although Li Shimin muttered, his body still involuntarily walked in the direction of the imperial dining room.

Yu Wenzhe always has something new, and the more strange it seems at first, the more it is.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but speed up his pace.

At this time, it was still mid-morning, and the imperial dining room had not yet begun to make imperial meals, and it seemed quiet, only a few little eunuchs on duty were guarding the ingredients.

"Your Majesty, show you a good thing" After coming to the imperial dining room, Yu Wenzhe took out a paper bag in his arms, opened the paper bag, and contained some snow-white table salt.

"Hey, what is this?"

Li Shimin raised his hand, twisted it some, and subconsciously put it in his mouth.

"What the hell is this, so salty, but this taste" "Your Majesty, this is table salt, what do you think of this table salt?"

Yu Wenzhe smiled, then put away the salt in his hand and handed it to the little eunuch on the side.

"Today's noon imperial meal, use it to let His Majesty taste his taste" It was only at this time that Li Shimin came to his senses in the taste in his mouth.

"It's better than the green salt used by the palace, it's pure salty, and there is no astringency at all."

As he spoke, Li Shimin ran to the water tank next to him, scooped a big spoonful of water, and poured it into his mouth.

Although the taste is indeed very good, it is still very salty after all.

"Tell me, where did you find this salt, and where did it come from?"

"Your Majesty, the origin of these salts comes from the land of Longyou" Yu Wenzhe smiled, took out another paper bag, and said.

"Are you kid deceived in the right land of Longyou, how can there be such high-quality table salt in the right land of Longyou, such quality, unheard of, unseen" Li Shimin's face immediately shrugged down.

At this time, only Li Shimin was left in the entire imperial dining room glaring at Yu Wenzhe, and Wang De was holding back a smile on the side.

"Lin Zhe, Your Majesty is right, Longyou has been barren since ancient times, the output is not much, and there is always a drought, and the people are also miserable, how can there be such a delicate salt output, if there is, how can the imperial court not know" "Hehe, the land of Longyou is not barren at all, it's just guarding Baoshan without knowing it" Yu Wenzhe shook his head, and didn't pay attention to Li Shimin's pretending anger, anyway, there will only be surprises left after a while, who still cares if you are angry or not.

"Your Majesty, Mr.

Wang, the land of Longyou is rich in brine salts" "That's right, but this brine salt is poisonous, and it can't completely separate the toxin, so" Li Shimin listened to Yu Wenzhe talk about Longyou, and suddenly frowned.

If you want to say that this land of Longyou, it is okay to be poor, basically every year the imperial court has to allocate a large amount of money to maintain the lives of the people in Longyou, which is Li Shimin's heart disease.

But the land in Longyou is too barren to be able to do anything about it.

The ancients took the west as the right, so it was called the west of Longshan as the right place, located in the west of the Loess Plateau, bounded by the junction of Qinghai-Tibet, Inner Mongolia and the Loess Plateau.

This area is not only the gateway of the Silk Road, a channel for cultural and commercial exchanges between China and the West in history, but also the frontier area of the Central Plains dynasties to manage the Western Regions and the northwest frontier of the region.

Therefore, the land of Longyou is extremely important, it is a place where soldiers must fight, and it is the only channel to connect with the countries of the Western Regions.

"Your Majesty, anything unfavorable can be reversed by favorable means, and the result will be a great change, or enough to affect the interests of the whole country.

It's like the salt I brought, it really comes from Longyou, but the poisonous salt of Longyou is processed to get the final essence."

Yu Wenzhe opened the paper bag in his hand, revealing a piece of yellow-orange-orange salt, which looked like sand and was extremely turbid.

"You have a way to strip the halogen and get table salt" Li Shimin was stunned by his own judgment, if the salt in Longyou Land could be stripped of the halogen poison, then it was not just as simple as the imperial court allocating money for relief every year.

The entire Tang Dynasty will show a qualitative leap, originally the land of Longyou is close to the countries of the Western Regions, such exquisite salt, in Longyou continuous production, flowing into the Western Regions, Li Shimin couldn't imagine for a while, how much profit Datang would reap in it, but one thing is certain, this profit is absolutely shocking.

The countries of the Western Regions are not suitable for production, salt is more popular than gold in the Western Regions, and if salt of this quality spreads, Longyou Land will definitely become the second core of the world.

"As long as the secrecy measures are appropriate, it can be produced in large quantities in the land of Longyou, and the salt will be sold to all parts of the Western Regions in exchange for good horses, cattle and sheep, that is certain.

Or simply exchange it for gold and silver, and the people in Longyou don't farm, they work directly for the court, and they don't have to wait for the court's relief every day."

"Great, really good, Lin Zhe, you are really my blessing to Datang.

Hurry up, hurry up and show me how such delicate salt is refined."

Li Shimin walked around excitedly, shouting excitedly as he walked.

After a long time, Li Shimin eased up at the end of this excitement, turned to look at Yu Wenzhe who twisted his head to the side, a bright light flashed in his mind, and his face suddenly distorted.

"Lin Zhe, believe it or not, I'll kill you right away" "Cut" Yu Wenzhe is still silent, joke, with this means of refining salt, even if you really let you kill, you can be willing to do it "Your Majesty, Lin Zhe, this kid can be regarded as a great achievement, and some rewards have been said in the past, you are angry."

Wang De hurriedly stepped forward to appease Li Shimin, and instead smiled at Yu Wenzhe.

Yu Wenzhe subconsciously took a few steps back, and Wang De's smile was really infiltrating.

"Hurry up, there's a fart" Li Shimin forcibly pressed the impatience in his heart, and stared at Yu Wenzhe warningly, "Boy, if you dare to mention the conditions like the horseshoe, I have to wait for the horseshoe, you won't be" "Your Majesty is wise, such a method of making salt was invented with great effort, so it is also appropriate to ask for some benefits, no way, the family is big, there are dozens of mouths in the house, and there is a mess waiting for the secret guard."

Yu Wenzhe smiled, and then took a few steps back again, in case Li Shimin really kicked himself, then he would really suffer a loss, otherwise, he couldn't come back.

"You, You" "Your Majesty, don't worry, Lin Zhe hasn't said it specifically, besides, Lin Zhe is also for the establishment of the secret guard, but you gave 10,000 taels" Wang De couldn't look past Li Shimin's harshness, and when he mentioned this, Li Shimin embarrassedly put down his feet that had been raised.

Wang De's words made him feel a little guilty, saying that when he came and went, people did things for you, and in order to establish a secret guard for you, he had to think of a way to get money by himself.

I thought of it, I can't just hold it in my arms, and then let people think about it again, it's too ugly.

"Also, the establishment of the secret guard, although I am because of various concerns in terms of money, it really didn't help much, you say, as long as it's not too much, I agreed" "Huh" Yu Wenzhe smiled and stretched out three fingers forward, "Every year, I want thirty percent of the income from selling salt."

"What" Li Shimin didn't react for a while, why didn't he directly ask for how much money or how much silver did he ask for a pound "Your Majesty, Lin Zhe wants thirty percent" Wang De whispered a hint on the side.

"Thirty percent of Lin Zhe, you have a lot of appetite, do you know the gold of this salt, if you can really make such salt in the right place of Longyou, how much money do you have to make a year, what do you want so much silver for, do you really want to rebel?"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said viciously.

"Your Majesty, if it's thirty percent, I'll want thirty percent" Facing the ferocious Li Shimin, Yu Wenzhe still stretched out three fingers, revealing a confident smile.

"Thirty percent, not one less point" ytforiitfreeti0 t1706231537:
