Chapter 51 The Princess and the Crown Prince Regret Wanting to Take Back the Poisonous Salt Mountain
Li Shimin was still very curious about Li Chenghua's [Secret Method of Making Salt].
However, although Li Shimin didn’t know what “protecting intellectual property rights” is?
But he still knew "secret techniques and recipes" like this, and he was not good at stealing it for himself.
Therefore, Li Shimin just asked the old eunuch Gao to send someone to follow up Li Chenghua's "salt making" process to determine the time for "salt production".
Li Chenghua heard what the old eunuch Gao said? He knew that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty might be a little too late.
Therefore, Li Chenghua chose a little bit of salt ore powder and quickly refined some [salt] out.
When I saw the [Snow White Salted Salt] sent by Old Eunuch Gao, all the civil and military officials around Li Shimin were shocked!
Have they ever seen this kind of salt that is as pure and white as snowflakes?
In fact, the current salt-making technology in Datang is already good, and [fine salt] has appeared.
However, this so-called "fine salt" is absolutely incomparable to the "fine salt" made by Li Chenghua.
Besides, the so-called "salt" of this era is basically affordable for only the nobles of the princes and grandchildren.
The common people use ordinary salt that is "full of various impurities and even toxicity".
When Li Jing was eating hot pot in Taohua Village, he saw this snow-white "salt".
At this moment, his eyes lit up, he dipped his finger a little, and wanted to reach into his mouth.
"Hey, pharmacist, wait!"
Yuchi Gong reached out and pulled Li Jing, then said, "This is a poisonous salt mountain, the salt here is poisonous!
Do you eat this in a daze? Don’t turn the [pharmacist] into a real [to die]!"
Hou Junji was also a little sarcastic at this moment and said, "Yes, Duke Dai. This is a mountain of poisonous salt! If you want to try this kind of salt, please think twice!"
Li Jing looked at Hou Junji who was a little sarcastic and snorted, "This word is white and pure, how can it be poisonous? Why do you need to think twice?"
After saying that, Li Jing ate the salt in his hand into his mouth without hesitation.
Cheng Yaojin smiled at this moment and said, "That's right, Chenghua is a [Immortal Disciple]? How could the salt he made be poisonous? I, old Cheng, don't believe it anymore!"
After saying that, Cheng Yaojin also took a bite of salt.
Wu Mei's father, Wu Shiteng, didn't say anything. He just smiled and took a bite of salt.
Looking at these three people, who believed in his eldest son Li Chenghua so much?
Li Shimin was very comforted and couldn't help but nod.
At this moment, Wang Gui suddenly curled his lips and said, "What [Immortal Disciple]? It's just [the No. silly fool in Chang'an]!
Even Wang, Taiyuan, cannot remove the poison from the salt mountain? How can a child with yellow mouth have a way?"
Hear Wang Gui say this?
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng next to Li Shimin all changed their faces.
Then, they looked at Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, and Wu Shiyan with a little worried.
Li Shimin glared at Wang Gui at this moment, and then said angrily: "I believe this salt is not poisonous!"
After saying that, Li Shimin tried it blatantly.
Have you seen the emperor take action?
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng are also preparing to try it.
Li Shimin stopped Du Ruhui and said, "Keming, wait!"
After you recovered from serious illness last year, Master Sun Simiao said you should not eat too much salt..."
Du Ruhui looked at the "spicy salt" on his fingers, sighed, and had to give up!
A quarter of an hour later, everyone who tasted the "salt" was still safe and sound.
Wang Gui snorted coldly and looked up at the hundreds of people busy making salt on the top of the mountain.
He was a little confused - can Li Chenghua do what they cannot do in Taiyuan Wang family?
At this moment, Li Jing suddenly waved his fist and said, "Your Majesty, this salt must be non-toxic! I don't know what the output is? If the output is extremely high, then the army can fight north!"
In the current Tang Dynasty, the army is very short of salt.
“This output…”
Li Shimin sighed and said to the old eunuch Gao: "Go and ask Chenghua, what is the output of this salt mountain? Well, how long does it take to supply a 300,000 army of half a year of salt?"
"Yes, your Majesty!"
Old Eunuch Gao hurried to Yanshan again.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "I hope this yield can be increased. I have eaten enough of the [jealous cloth] in the army!"
Li Jing nodded and sighed.
What is [Vinegar cloth]?
After soaking this "vinegar cloth" in water, it can basically be regarded as a simple "seasoning".
However, you can imagine the "taste" of this thing!
Moreover, it is very unhygienic.
But there is no way!
If there is no shortage of salt - who can use "vinegar cloth"?
Li Shimin blushed when he heard this, his face turned red, "Don't worry, pharmacist, I will try every means to increase the salt production. I will not let the army lack salt."
Why is the Tang Dynasty short of salt now?
In this regard, it is because of the [monopoly] of the aristocratic families over salt and iron!
On the other hand, to put it bluntly, the output cannot keep up.
In order to increase production, the Tang Dynasty actually "does not collect salt taxes" and encouraged private salt production.
But, in this era when even the fate of a country is manipulated by aristocratic families?
The so-called [private salt making] is of course a joke.
Therefore, even a talented emperor like Li Shimin had to watch the aristocratic family become more monopolized - salt, iron, money and grain!
What else should I do?
"Private salt making" won't work!
"Salt is added to aristocratic families" is impossible!
"The emperor robs salt" is not okay!
So, when Lee Seung-hwa threatened that day - there is no problem that he couldn't solve?
Li Shimin still used [Salt, Iron, Money and Grain] to make things difficult for him, the eldest son of the emperor.
At that time, although Li Chenghua showed some amazing magic?
But to be honest, Li Shimin still feels that Li Chenghua is bragging!
Not to mention solving multiple problems of [salt, iron, money and grain] at the same time.
Li Shimin believes that Li Chenghua may not be able to solve even [one problem]!
But unexpectedly, today Li Chenghua was [repeatedly shocking]! In the end, he actually [salt-making]?
Could it be that [Salt], one of these major problems, will be solved by Li Chenghua?
At this time, Li Shimin looked at the civil and military officials around him and couldn't help but clench his fists.
He really hopes that his eldest son, Li Chenghua, will give him a huge surprise!
Like Li Shimin, Princess Changle certainly hopes that Li Chenghua will succeed.
No jokes!
Since Li Chenghua promised to solve the problem of [salt, iron, money, grain] that left his father, Li Shimin helpless?
Then, Li Chenghua must do what he says!
If Lee Seung-hwa didn't do it? Then...
Princess Changle dared not think about the ending! If that were the case, she and Li Chenghua would probably never have the chance to be together!
Thinking of this, Princess Changle bit her lip and whispered to Li Shimin: "Father, if Chenghua makes contributions to salt making - what title should the father award him?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and said, "This... you have to wait until the output comes out before you can determine the size of the credit."
At this moment, the old eunuch Gao ran back panting and said, "Go back to Your Majesty! Chenghua said that it would take only one month to make the salt needed for the 300,000 army in half a year!"
"What? Just one month?"
At this moment, everyone present was stunned.
Chapter completed!
