Datang Storyteller: Uncovering the Secret of Xuanwu Gate, Li Er was stunned

"This... do you have any good suggestions?"

Li Shimin frowned, he didn't do business, so he was really unsure about the price.

Fang Xuanling shook his head, "Salt price is one aspect, another issue is how to prevent our salt from being sold without permission!"

Because salt is a scarce commodity, many people will take risks and sell private salt in order to make huge profits.

If they do not find a way to avoid this situation, the end result is that the common people cannot eat this kind of salt at all, because they cannot afford the high price.

According to Fang Xuanling's understanding, after their salt is processed from the salt well, it is sold for about 150 to [-] wen.

But the salt that was resold by salt dealers ended up selling for three to four hundred wen.

The price has doubled exactly.

Even though His Majesty has explicitly prohibited the sale of private salt, there are still many such people driven by profit.

They can't get the salt from the government, so they will try to get it from the family.

And the aristocratic family has no principles at all when it comes to interests.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Fang is right. If you want to sell salt, these problems must be solved. Otherwise, even if you sell it, the people will still not be able to eat delicious and cheap salt."

Li Shimin nodded, "I will seriously consider this issue."

Thinking of these things, Li Shimin became very irritable.

Then he discussed the details with Fang Xuanling and the others before letting them leave.

At this time, it was late at night.

Although Qin Yu said that the environment in the cell was not good, it didn't affect his rest.

At dawn the next day, Wu Qi came to the prison of the Criminal Ministry and asked Qin Yu, "Sir, what do you want for breakfast today?"

"Bring me two packs of instant noodles, and prepare a pot of boiling water."

"Take another two hard-boiled eggs."

Instant noodles with eggs, delicious like a fairy.

Not long after Wu Qi left, people from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice began to slowly arrive.

Listening to Qin Yu's speech every day, they are used to getting up at dawn and going straight to Laifu Restaurant.

It's just that today they went to Laifu Restaurant to order food first, and then came to Qin Yu to listen to the book.

After all, the delicacies of Laifu Restaurant also made them think about it, even before going to bed.

"Mr. Qin, good morning, I wonder if you slept well last night?"

"Mr. Qin, did the cockroaches and mice in the cell sleep with you?"

"Mr. Qin, you seem to be in good spirits, and your bedding is very new. The cell is still a single room, and the floor has been cleaned. You deserve to be imprisoned by order. No one can match this treatment."

"..."

Everyone is familiar with it.

Except for the silence when Qin Yu was telling the story, these listeners were usually very active.

In addition to respecting Qin Yu, he chatted about any topic.

When I see him every day, I can't help but start various jokes or ask questions.

Qin Yu would basically choose some questions to answer.

Hearing what they said at this time, I couldn't help but chuckled, raised my eyebrows and said, "It's pretty good, how about it, why don't you guys try it too?"

"Hahaha... We can't enjoy such a blessing, Mr. Qin can enjoy it slowly, we just listen to the script."

"That's right, that's right. We don't have such a good life as Mr. Qin. We can be ordered to tell stories even in prison. If we go in, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to come out."

Others agreed.

It is enough for them to listen to the scriptures in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and it is enough to brag to future generations. As for other things, they dare not even think about it.

Qin Yu smiled, "That's really a pity."

While speaking, Wu Qi and a few other guys had already delivered the meals ordered by the guests.

As soon as the smell of food spread into the cell.

The prisoners in the cell suddenly fell asleep.

They could still endure the original noise.

But now, the taste of food is absolutely irresistible to them.

The prisoners got up one after another, holding the door of the cell with both hands, drooling towards the outside.

Many people cursed.

"You guys are really going too far. Greeding us with delicious food early in the morning, not taking you to bully the prisoner like this, it's more uncomfortable than Ling Chi's execution."

"That's right, that's right, do you have any sympathy? We are already miserable, and you still want to greedy us with wine and meat."

"I swear, when I leave here one day, I will go to a restaurant to eat for three days and three nights."

"What's the use of eating for three days and three nights, can you bear it now?"

"Mother, I'm so greedy to cry!"

"..."

Sympathy?
Does everyone have it?

Of course not!

No matter how the prisoners scolded, they each picked up the food, found a place to arrange it, and started eating.

Although it is a bit inappropriate to drink alcohol and eat meat early in the morning.

But that's what they want.

Of course, many people didn’t order it yesterday, but they ordered it today, just to get greedy.

After all, they also experienced the feeling of being so hungry that they were about to cry yesterday, and they had to get revenge today.

Today, everyone who came to listen to the book ordered food.

Therefore, revenge on those who came to listen to the book together did not show, but made the prisoners and jailers in the cell cry.

The jailer found Li Daozong and cried.

"My lord, I beg you, please take care of it, we can't bear it if this goes on."

"That's right, my lord, even if we can accept it, the purse can't bear it."

Many people couldn't resist ordering food from Laifu Restaurant yesterday, and they regretted it once they ate it.

How can there be such delicious food in the world?

After eating the food at Laifu Restaurant, they never wanted to eat anything else.

Compared with the food at Laifu Restaurant, those things that they thought were delicious were not even as good as pig food.

How can they still swallow it?

Let's eat, the purse can't hold it.

Don't eat, my stomach can't hold it!

They are simply too difficult.

Why did His Majesty lock Qin Yu in?

It's fine to lock him in, why let him tell a book in the cell?

Why should they be allowed to bring meals?
Your Majesty must have let these people punish them. It is too painful to see but not to eat.

Li Daozong also looked helpless. Just last night, His Majesty told him to take good care of the one in the cell.

Satisfy the other party's requirements as much as possible.

Of course, apart from His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, Princess Changle and the Crown Prince also gave him instructions.

The person in the cell now looks ordinary, but in fact he is a big shot that even he can't afford to provoke.

What else can he do other than serve him well?
"Be patient for now. When that person has lived enough, he will leave naturally. I have wronged everyone these days."

Hearing what Li Daozong, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, said, what can the jailers in the cell say?
The biggest officials above them can't do anything, what can they do?
Just endure it!
