At sunset!

Comrade Lao Li has just finished dealing with all the memorials for today and is about to relax and take a good rest.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! What do you think this is?"

He arrived first before anyone arrived, and then he saw a disheveled man running in excitedly.

When he saw the person coming, he couldn't help but ask:
"Jun Xian, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like a local mouse?"

Li Junxian didn't realize it, and continued to say to himself:

"Your Majesty, stop joking, and see what I brought you here!"

"Oh"

Li Shimin saw that his personal bodyguard, who was always calm and magnanimous, would appear in such a hurry today, so he also asked curiously:

"What is it that makes you, the leader of the Baiqi Division, act like this!"

After finishing speaking, he beckoned to him and brought the things in front of him.

This is Li Junxian, if you change to other ministers, especially generals, if you want to present something to Li Er, you have to go through Tongueless Hands first.

But Li Junxian didn't need it, he was the most trusted person around Li Er.

If even Li Junxian betrayed him, then the world of Tang Dynasty might already be in flames of war!

"Salt, fine salt, Your Majesty!"

"What, fine salt? Did you get it out so quickly?" Li Shimin immediately put away his light-hearted teasing demeanor when he heard that it was fine salt.

He directly snatched the earthen pot in Li Junxian's hand, put it on the imperial case in front of him, lifted the lid and observed carefully.

The pitch-black clay pot and the white snow in the pot complement each other, making the crystals even more dazzling.

The snowflake-like fine salt is uniform in size, and it looks like a jar of pure white fine sand, which makes people extremely comfortable.

Although Lao Li knew that it was fine salt, he still lightly dipped a little bit of it with his finger very uneasy.

After putting it in his mouth and savoring it for a while, a burst of golden light appeared in his eyes, and he laughed and said:

"Haha, it really is salt, fine salt without any peculiar smell!"

Seeing His Majesty's performance like this, Li Junxian was also overjoyed.

Xin said that he really did not let down his hard work all afternoon to drive out the fine salt.

It turned out that after he got the specific production process of fine salt and the drawings of the tools needed from Li Yin, he didn't come to Li Shimin directly.

Instead, after making a small batch of fine salt according to the production process, they brought the finished product.

Of course, he had tried the fine salt when it was first made, otherwise he would not have dared to send it to Li Shimin rashly.

If the toxin of the fine salt is not completely removed, if Li Er suffers from something wrong, then his crime will be serious.

How could Li Shimin care about Li Junxian's expression at this moment, although his eyes were fixed on the fine salt in the clay pot in front of him.

But his mind had already flown beyond the clouds.

In this instant, countless images flashed through his mind.

There is a scene where Wanmin sets up a tablet of longevity for himself after fine salt is sold all over the world.

There is a prosperous scene in which all the family woes are resolved, and the people have a place to depend on when they are young, and when they are old.

There are also scenes where the foreign envoys kneel in the Tai Chi Hall, begging themselves to sell them some fine salt.

In the end, not only did I drive these fine salts to control other Fanbangs, but I even let Jieli and Tuli come to Chang'an City to dance for me, so I could sell them a little bit of fine salt to please myself. scene!
"By the way! What is the yield of Jun Xian's fine salt? Is it troublesome to make?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, King Qin taught me the method of refining fine salt is very convenient. I don't know the exact yield, but the pot of salt in your hand only uses about three catties of ore to extract so much!" Li Junxian replied honestly.

When Li Shimin heard his words, he immediately weighed the clay pot in front of him.

After a while, he probably understood the weight of the fine salt in the jar in his mind, and the whole jar weighed about a catty.

Don't think this kind of clay pot is heavy, but it is indeed made of the best clay. The wall of the pot is very thin, so the weight is very light, about two taels or so.

That is to say, the fine salt in the jar is estimated to have a weight of [-] to [-] taels. Although it does not reach the salt yield of three to one, it is still very scary.

How big is the halite mine in Wannian County? It's as big as a mountain range!

It is difficult for anyone to estimate the amount of fine salt that can be extracted from such a large halite mine.

However, after Li Shimin tried the taste of this fine salt, his ambitions were no longer limited to the halite mine in Wannian County.

After pondering for a while, he once again ordered to Li Junxian:

"Jun Xian is now at the salt workshop, and you will first hand it over to your confidant to take care of it. During this time, you will first go and buy all the halite mines in the entire Datang territory for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Of course Li Junxian knew what Lao Li meant, and now that the fine salt was opened or not, it was still for sale.

Everyone thought that rock salt mines were poisonous salt mines, and the cost and price of buying rock salt mines at this time was the smallest.

Maybe some people heard that the imperial court was going to buy poisonous halite mines, and they would take the initiative to lower the price a lot.

However, in the end he still asked with a little concern:
"Your Majesty, where did the money for the purchase of the rock salt mine come from?"

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this question!
Originally, he wanted to blurt out and say, "What kind of account can I get, of course it's my internal money!" '.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back abruptly, and then glanced at Wu Tong and Li Junxian with a suspicious look.

There is no way that he has almost been mentally ill by Li Yin these few days, and he has half of the fine salt industry.

If he is now the first to buy all the halite mines in the country with domestic funds, then how will the share of the fine salt industry be calculated?

Is it all his Li Er's?

At that time, Li Yin will definitely turn the world upside down for him again, and he still feels that he is in a panic if he still counts on a [-]-[-] split.

But in the end, Li Shimin still looked at the meaning behind the fine salt industry, and said with relief:
"Well, let's pay from the internal funds first! In the future, after the fine salt has been recorded in the account, I will return the internal funds. I will discuss this matter with that naughty son."

This means that Li Yin is not here, if he knows these considerations of Lao Li.

He will definitely show that old father's happy smile when he sees his son finally matured. This is not in vain for his training of Lao Li in the past few days.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Li Junxian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he had just withdrawn the money from his internal funds first, and that he would still have to pay it back later. Then he took out a few pieces of rice paper from his pocket and said:
"By the way, Your Majesty, this is a tool for making fine salt painted by the King of Qin. Do you think it was made by a craftsman?"

Li Junxian actually sat down on Li Yin's side, mainly because he was also afraid that Li Yin would find out that it was he who proposed to take the money from the inside, and would come up with some crooked ideas to deal with him.

"Well! You go there yourself, tell Yan Lide to keep this secret, and tell him that if he leaks any news, I will punish him!"

Although Yan Lide can be regarded as his confidant, and he is also Yan Lide's real brother!
But regarding such a big matter as fine salt, Li Shimin still felt that no matter how careful he was, he couldn't be too careful.

The involvement is really too great, if the aristocratic families who mainly sell rock salt know about it before the sale of fine salt begins.

Not only would his plans for Fine Salt come to nothing, maybe the five surnames and Qiwang would unite to force him to hand over the secret recipe of Fine Salt.
