Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

After receiving the salt jar, Li Shimin picked up a spoon and pulled it a few times.

This table salt is as white as snow, very delicate, not at all like the salt on the market.

The ancient salt-making technology was not so good, with coarse grains and many impurities.

This is the first time Li Shimin has seen such fine refined table salt.

"My dear brother, why is your table salt so good?"

Li Shimin was so shocked that he couldn't find a suitable adjective.

He has nothing to say except to say yes
The queen listened to Li Shimin's admiration, put down the bait in her hand, gave it to Xiao Si, and came over.

"Wow, this table salt is so white, like snow."

The queen marveled.

"Brother, you are such a good salt, if you sell it in the market, you will definitely make a lot of money."

said the Queen.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what did I do wrong that made you dissatisfied?"

The queen was taken aback, and said, "Why did you say that?"

Su Yu coughed dryly and said, "The salt is exclusively sold by the imperial court, and it is not allowed to sell it privately."

"If my virtuous brother sells it himself, he would have been held accountable by the government."

In ancient times, the monopoly system of salt and iron was implemented.

That is to say, all salt and ironware are under the control of the imperial court, and the common people can only buy them from the government.

This is of course done to increase taxes.

Sometimes, the imperial court monopolizes wine for tax purposes.

The Tang Dynasty at this time was considered good, and the iron monopoly was abolished, but the salt was still controlled by the imperial court.

"Datang's salt is controlled by Li Er, if I sell it, I will definitely be tracked down by the government."

"Sister-in-law, if I sell salt, you won't be able to see me."

Su Yu laughed.

The queen laughed and said, "You kid is full of evil ideas. Even if you sell private salt, Li Er can't catch you."

"Well, sister-in-law is right."

"If I want to smuggle salt, Li Er will definitely not be able to catch me."

Su Yu laughed.

Li Shimin was beside him, watching his queen and brother-in-law ridicule him for his incompetence.
Brat, when my daughter gets married, I will cheat you to death!

Ten years is not too late for father-in-law to take revenge, let alone ten years!
you wait for me!

Chang Le and Xiao Sizi were feeding the crayfish by the edge of the pond, when they suddenly turned to look at Li Shimin.

"Aye, what are you looking at?"

Changle asked strangely.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "It's nothing, Aye is talking to your Brother Su."

The queen scooped up the salt and poured it slowly into the jar with a small rustling sound.

"My dear brother, how do you make this table salt?"

the queen asked.

"Here, I bought coarse salt from the market and processed it myself."

"Li Er's fellow only knows how to monopolize salt, but he doesn't know how to improve the salt-making technology. He just collects money and doesn't do anything."

Su Yu said.

Li Shimin felt wronged, not because he didn't want to improve his salt-making technology.

The current salt-making technology is like this, and he can't do anything about it.

"Brother, I appeal for Li Er's grievance."

"I'm a businessman. I know that the current salt-making technology is just like that. It's not that Li Er didn't do anything."

Li Shimin said aggrievedly.

No matter what this kid says, he will always pull me in and hurt me.

"This is very simple. I will ask Lao Chen to give you the refining technology later, and you can just do it."

Su Yu laughed.

Li Shimin was overjoyed: "My dear brother, I thank you on behalf of Li Er."

Su Yu waved his hand and said with a smile, "You don't need to thank me for Li Er, just ask him to give you the money."

Li Shimin:? ? ?

"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't give it in vain."

Li Shimin shook his head and said.

Li Shimin took the salt jar from the queen and looked at it carefully.

Other than fine particles and white as snow, nothing special was found.

"My dear brother, you just said that this salt can cure big neck disease."

"But I don't see any difference."

Li Shimin asked.

What he cares most is that Su Yu said that this salt can cure diseases.

"I added iodine, you can't see this, trace element."

"The average iodine content is 40 milligrams per kilogram, how can you see it with myopia."

Su Yu said.

mg?

Li Shimin was speechless, how did such a small unit of measurement be calculated.

"My dear brother, can I give them that iodine directly?"

Li Shimin was suddenly clever.

Su Yu looked at Li Shimin in surprise, that look.
Li Shimin smiled triumphantly: "My dear brother, if adding iodine to table salt can cure big neck disease, then can't I just give them iodine?"

Smart as I am.

"Old Li, let me tell you, if you eat too much, you will die."

Su Yu shook his head.

Li Shimin was speechless, and Jijiling failed again.

"Old Li, tell Li Er that I, Su Yu, don't want to make money from him."

Su Yu said.

Li Shimin complained in his heart: How much money did you make, and you said you didn't want to.

"I will give him the salt-making technology, I will provide iodine, and I will also give him the method of adding iodine."

"As for me, I also have a heart for peace in the world, but I am too lazy to go out."

Su Yu lay on the chair and said.

Li Shimin continued to complain in his heart: I just want you to go out, but you give me a few steps to go out.

"My dear brother, Li Er and the people of Tang Dynasty will thank you very much."

Li Shimin said in surprise.

"You're welcome, it's my duty to treat people all over the world."

Su Yu laughed.

Li Shimin was still worried about holding the salt.

"Brother Xian, are you really giving it to Li Er for nothing?"

"No strings attached?"

Li Shimin confirmed again.

Su Yu is not such a kind-hearted person.

Get scared by him.

"Old Li, what do you mean? Am I, Su Yu, the kind of person who loves money? I have emphasized many times that I am not interested in money."

Su Yu said seriously.

Although Li Shimin has 1 complaints in his heart, he is still very happy at the moment.

Really free ah.

"Of course, iodine production costs money. You need to ask Li Er for the money."

Su Yu said.

puff.
Li Shimin vomited blood.

Sure enough, there is nothing free.

"no problem."

With blood dripping from his heart, Li Shimin forced a smile.

The queen giggled and said, "My dear brother, you are really thick-skinned."

"Just now I said that Baigui doesn't like money, but then I turn around and ask for money."

Although this is to be expected.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, who are you standing with?"

"We are a family, I asked Li Er for money, you should be happy."

The queen laughed loudly: "Yes, I am happy."

Li Shimin is speechless
The little si came over and asked, "Aniang, you are cheating on Li Er again."

Xiao Sizi looked at Li Shimin with a smile.

Li Shimin was completely speechless.

"Brother, Li Er wants to ask me something."

Hurry up and bring up a topic, otherwise the atmosphere will be too embarrassing.

His wife and daughter betrayed, and they followed Su Yu to cheat him.

"Go ahead."

Su Yu laughed.

"My dear brother said before that the Protectorate should be set up, but now the Turks in Mobei have been treated honestly."

"But the Khitan appeared in Liaodong, and the Anxi Protectorate in the Western Regions was too expensive to transport supplies."

"The ministers in the court opposed it one after another, and some even said that they would abolish the Duhufu."

"Li Er is having a headache right now, and I want to ask Brother Xian what's the best way?"

Li Shimin said.

During the court period, two problems were solved. The problem of the big neck disease was solved, and there was still one problem of the operation of the Protectorate.

Simply asked together.

The most important thing is that the atmosphere is too awkward and we need to find a topic.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Lao Li, this matter is simple."

Li Shimin was surprised and asked, "How simple?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Come here."

Li Shimin hurried over.

"You tell Li Er, just so and so"

Su Yu smiled slightly.
