Datang: In order to be a salted fish, I decided to look forward to my father Jackie Chan

Chapter 106 The Desolate Dock
The son-in-law came to the princess mansion, not to find the princess, but to chat with the servant?

"Okay, take the horse to the stable, feed some hay, be careful!"

"My lord!"

There were bursts of piano sound in the mansion, and the sound of the piano was slightly melancholy.

Li Xiao didn't understand, what's wrong, what made Chang Le unhappy?

"Little Changle, Little Changle!"

"Zheng!"

After the sound of the piano paused, Changle rushed out, his eyebrows were delighted, and his voice was cheerful.

"Brother Li, you are here!"

In the pavilion, Li Xiao looked at Chang Le carefully.

"Brother Li, what's the matter, is there something dirty on my face?"

"Haha." Li Xiao said with a smile, "My little Changle is so beautiful, how can there be dirt on her face, why is there a bit of melancholy in your piano sound just now!"

"Ah! Brother Li can hear this?"

Isn't this nonsense?The sound of the piano is sluggish, isn't it unhappy?
Chang Le twisted her fingers awkwardly, could it be said that Brother Li hadn't come to see her for a long time, so she was unhappy, but Brother Li had a lot of things to do.

Suddenly, what Li Xiao put on the table attracted Chang Le's attention, Chang Le changed the subject, "Brother Li, what is this red thing?"

"This one, it's strawberries, sweet and sour, delicious. I was planning to bring some to you a long time ago, but unfortunately I encountered a wave of bandits and ransacked them all. These are still just ripe."

Chang Le turned pale with shock, and asked with concern, "What, why are there bandits near Chang'an City, have you reported to the authorities? Are there any other losses?"

"Haha, don't be nervous, those bandits, surnamed Li, surnamed Qin, surnamed Cheng!"

Chang Le understood, and said coquettishly, "Brother Li is teasing me."

"How can there be, try it quickly, you can eat it directly, and see if you like it."

Changle ate one, it was full of water, sweet and sour, "This thing called strawberry is really delicious." Seeing Changle's happy appearance, Li Xiao said softly, "It's fine if you like it, and I will give some to you every day from now on. come over."

"Princess! Princess!"

There was a knock on the door outside.

Chang Le frowned, who is so hateful, he finally had some time to be alone with Brother Li for a while, and he came to disturb him again.

"What's so alarming about?"

"Princess, the prince came to look for Lord Li and said he was in a hurry!"

As soon as Li Xiao heard that Wang Zhong was looking for him, it must be because Li Shimin was in a hurry, otherwise, Wang Zhong couldn't have been in such a hurry to find him alone!

"Changle, you're eating strawberries here, I'll go check on the situation."

Chang Le said empathetically, "It's important, brother Li, go get busy."

In the hall of the Princess Mansion, Wang Zhongzheng was looking around in a hurry, when he saw Li Xiao coming out, he stepped forward in two steps.

"My lord, I finally found you, come with me, your majesty is waiting for you in the palace!"

Li Xiao frowned, "Grandpa Wang, what is it that you are in such a hurry for? Let me tell you first, I finally got some free time to cook some delicious food for the princess."

Wang Gonggong looked around, saw no one around, and said softly, "It's about Haiyan, Lu Guogong has encountered a problem!"

Li Xiao knew that Li Shimin was very concerned about Haiyan, and this matter had to be urgent.

"Okay, I'll go and tell the princess, and then I'll enter the palace with you immediately!"

When Changle learned that Li Xiao was leaving again, sorrow hung on his face again, and he was very unhappy, "Father is really, I won't look for you sooner or later, just came to the house, and sent someone here. "

Li Xiao jokingly said, "Xiao Changle, it's not that our father is making trouble this time, it's really something."

Then he leaned into Changle's ear and whispered, "It's about salt, our father is very concerned about this matter, so we can't neglect it."

The warm current flowed into Changle's ears, and her cheeks flushed immediately, "Okay, okay, go get busy!"

"Well, you just eat strawberries at home and play the piano. It doesn't take much effort, and I'll be back. I brought a lot of ingredients today, and I'm going to cook you a delicious meal."

"I'm leaving."

"Ah."

Li Xiao and Wang Gonggong hurried to Taiji Palace, Li Shimin's study.

In Taiji Palace, in Li Shimin's study, except for a eunuch who was waiting, standing tremblingly by the side.

Only Fang Xuanling was left, frowning in deep thought.

"Master praise is here? Sit down!"

Li Shimin, frowning tightly, beckoned Li Xiao to sit down.

Li Shimin waved the little eunuch to leave, and the little eunuch saluted and left as if he had been pardoned, "Is the situation clear?"

Li Xiao replied respectfully, "On the way here, Eunuch Wang has already said that it is that Lu Guogong's development of sea fields in Jiaozhou is not going well."

Fang Xuanling said in a slightly heavy voice, "It's more than that. The price of salt is rising rapidly. It is very likely that someone has heard the news and is ready to take the opportunity to make a fortune."

Li Xiao really didn't expect that those salt merchants moved so quickly, "Is there no salt in the national treasury? If you don't take it out at this time to stabilize prices, will you really keep it for the New Year?"

"What is reserve salt?" Fang Xuanling asked curiously when he heard the new term.

"Didn't Datang have a lot of open warehouses? There is a lot of grain in the reserve, so there is no reserve for salt?"

"Since ancient times, I have never heard that salt needs to be stored! The most is to build some warehouses to store grain." Fang Xuanling said seriously, "However, Master Zan, your method is not bad. It should be done when the price of salt is low. Well, the government will come forward to buy some salt, and then sell it when the price rises, so as to stabilize the price and make a fortune.”

Fang Xuanling spoke more and more vigorously, without paying any attention to Li Shimin, who had a dark face, "This can be used in other places, won't the price of cloth also fluctuate? It can also be done like this, and there is..."

"boom!"

"That's enough, Prime Minister Fang, today is to discuss the increase in the price of salt!"

Li Shimin was extremely displeased. The more this old Fang talked, the more it meant that he, the emperor, had no foresight?

Fang Xuanling looked really angry at Li Shimin, and quickly changed the subject, "Master Zan, what can you do, just say it!"

Li Shimin also looked directly at Li Xiao, he even knew how to make sea salt, so this question shouldn't bother him, right?
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister." Li Xiao said with difficulty, "Is there any way to do this? It's nothing more than telling the people that there is a lot of salt, don't rush to buy it, and what's more, find a way to bring the salt to Chang'an City!"

"What kind of solution is this?"

"There's no way around it! Fortunately, only the price of salt in Chang'an has increased. If it increases everywhere."

Li Shimin looked at Li Xiao seriously, "Master Zan, if you are asked to go to Yaojin, how long will it take you to produce salt? Or—"

He wants to ask the system.

Recently, there is no contact system, and the luck of the country is gradually improving, and the four parties come to worship.

He didn't want to rely on external things at first, but those words flashed through his mind.

The exit is: "Time is running out, do you understand?"
