The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Study fine salt?

The chopsticks in Li Shimin's hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Everyone stood up and walked quickly to Zhao Chen.

He placed his hands on the table in front of Zhao Chen.

He stared at Zhao Chen and asked slowly, "Can you really make fine salt?"

Li Shimin remembered that he originally intended to set up the Salt and Iron Department of the Tang Dynasty in the court to be responsible for the sale of salt and iron.

But later when I heard Zhao Chen explain the disadvantages, I gave up the idea.

Li Shimin felt that Zhao Chen was right. Taking back the salt and iron would make the court compete with the people for profit.

Because salt production is too little.

They are also necessities of life, so they are likely to face price increases.

But Zhao Chen just said that he could research fine salt.

Doesn't that mean that the people of the Tang Dynasty will no longer have to worry about salt?

Li Shimin was filled with excitement at this moment, staring closely at Zhao Chen, waiting for his answer.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu also had their eyes on Zhao Chen at this moment.

His eyes were full of surprise.

Salt was scarce in the Tang Dynasty, and there was very little salt that ordinary people could buy.

The countless salt wells and salt lakes could not meet the needs of the people of the entire Tang Dynasty.

If Zhao Chen can really develop a method of refining fine salt, then...

The lobby fell completely silent.

Zhao Chen glanced at Lao Li Tou, who was staring at him with piercing eyes, smiled faintly, and was not anxious at all, chewing the food in his mouth slowly.

"You're so slow, you mean it, don't you? Hurry up and talk to someone." Li Shimin couldn't wait in his heart.

Once such a thing that benefits the people's livelihood is done, the people of the Tang Dynasty will surely surrender even more.

Then Li Shimin must be a wise king in the eyes of the people.

Thinking about it, Li Shimin felt excited.

"Is this your attitude when asking for help?" Zhao Chen put down his chopsticks and said slowly.

"Some..." Li Shimin's expression froze.

It would be someone else who dared to talk to him like this.

A big-eared melon seed has already passed by.

But the person in front of him was Zhao Chen.

I still need his help, and this kid is still my...

Li Shimin can be sure that if he really slaps him, Zhao Chen will definitely slap him with his backhand.

This boy has the dignity and humility that the people of the Tang Dynasty should have.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu looked at each other, their eyes flashing as if they were watching a show.

It was only in front of Zhao Chen that the emperor became so deflated.

Li Shimin seemed to see the smiles of the two of them and said angrily, "What do you have to do here? Get out of here and inspect the examination room."

The two were so shocked that they didn't even dare to say anything.

I quickly went to inspect the examination room in front.

Zhao Chen and the emperor were the only two people left in the lobby.

Li Shimin calmed down and smiled with Zhao Chen, "Look, I am only so patient with you. If it were someone else, I would have taken him down long ago."

"Then you can take me down, I don't care." Zhao Chenfeng said calmly.

Li Shimin also wanted to let Zhao Chen know how different he was from him.

Zhao Chen should be grateful no matter what, right?

Why do you look like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water?

Really pissed me off.

However, thinking that Zhao Chen could really develop fine salt, Li Shimin gritted his teeth, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Zhao Chen, you just now know how important this salt is to the people of the Tang Dynasty. "

"Ordinary people can't afford salt at all. If you can help make fine salt, you will definitely leave a name in history and be respected by future generations."

Seeing that Zhao Chen was not very willing, Li Shimin directly gave Zhao Chen a lift.

I just didn't want to, Zhao Chen didn't even react at all.

Lao Li was a little anxious.

"Zhao boy, what do you want, please give me an accurate answer." Zhao Chen, who was so indifferent, really made Li Shimin very angry.

"It would have been better if you had just said that. What's the use of saying so much before?" Zhao Chen raised his head and said casually.

But he saw Lao Litou gritting his teeth, as if he was going to eat him alive.

"When we talk about business, we just talk about business, and we don't have to be anxious." Zhao Chen said again.

"Say." Li Shimin said solemnly.

But I was a little happy in my heart, and the boy Qing was still a little scared.

However, before he became happy, he heard Zhao Chen say, "You can develop fine salt, and I can give you the method, but there is one thing. Fine salt is produced by the government, but it is not allowed to be sold by the government."

"All the sales of fine salt will be handed over to the Wangyou Salt Bureau. Of course, the price will be the cheapest. When the production volume increases, I can guarantee that the price of each kilogram of salt will not exceed ten cents."

"This is not..."

"Of course, I won't let you, Old Li, work in vain. I only take 20% of all the income from the Salt Bureau, and the other 80%, whether you hide it in your own pocket or take it into the national treasury, all of this will be paid by You make the decision yourself." Zhao Chen interrupted what Li Shimin was about to yell.

Li Shimin was silent.

If just now he felt that Zhao Chen's request was outrageous and that he wanted to make himself and the entire Tang Dynasty work for him, then what he said now made Li Shimin feel satisfied.

20% of the profit goes to Zhao Chen, which is actually not a big problem.

After all, Zhao Chen has his own method of making fine salt.

And he is the future prince of the Tang Dynasty.

No matter how much money is given, it will be used for the development of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Li Shimin

Just now I was really afraid that Zhao Chen was a money-minded and greedy guy.

But it's okay.

"I have to say that this is a good idea. I can agree to this condition." Li Shimin nodded, but then changed his tone and said, "But I have something to say first. Fine salt is related to people's life and death. You can't increase the selling price arbitrarily. Otherwise, I will never do it." I will spare you lightly."

This last sentence was expressed in the tone of an emperor.

Zhao Chen smiled slightly and said, "Okay, if you have nothing to do, just go and sit aside and don't disturb me while I'm eating."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again.

He even gave up the idea of ​​asking Zhao Chen if he could make fine salt.

Li Shimin has become accustomed to Zhao Chen's endless use of strange methods.

Fine salt, is it difficult for Zhao Chen?

…

"Luo Tong, how dare you come back!"

At the Boling Cui family's residence in Chang'an City, Cui Yan looked at Luo Tong in front of him without saying a word.

Next to him, Wang Yi, the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, looked gloomy and scolded Luo Tong coldly.

They waited here for a whole day and a whole night.

Now Luo Tong finally came back, but he didn't ask anything.

"Luo Tong, it seems you don't want to save your wife's life, right?"

"You also know that in this world, only this 'dragon bone' can cure your wife's illness."

Wang Yi said slowly from the side.

Seeing Luo Tong's nails sinking deeply into his flesh.

"There was an accident last night. Please give me another chance, sir." Luo Tong unclenched his fists and bowed.

"Give you another chance?"

"Luo Tong, please tell us, what accident happened that made you ignore your wife?" Wang Yi sneered.

"Last night, the Xuanjia Army surrounded us." Luo Tong said slowly.
