Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 26 Shocked, Li Yin did this?
"Your Majesty, isn't this just an ordinary meal?" Empress Changsun couldn't help asking, the doubts in her eyes became more intense.

Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled lightly: "Yes, this is indeed a simple meal, but the things used here are different, you should try it first."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he asked someone to fill a bowl and put it in front of Empress Changsun. The latter took a sip with a dazed expression, her eyes lit up immediately, and her tongue was dancing!
This taste, like fine nectar and jade dew, is unforgettable. Empress Changsun just feels that she has never eaten such delicious food in her life!
Even those delicacies in the palace are nothing compared to these side dishes!
"How is it? How does it taste?" Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Yummy! This is so delicious, how on earth is this made? Why is it so delicious?"

"This taste is unprecedented. It really makes the concubine want to stop. Your Majesty, would you like some?"

Empress Changsun didn't have any pretensions at the moment, she just started eating with a bowl in her hand, she looked like she hadn't eaten for a few days.

If the ministers saw this, they would probably be stunned. They couldn't believe it. The woman in front of them is actually their dignified and dignified eldest grandson empress.
"Guanyin servant girl, eat slowly, don't worry, no one will grab you." Li Shimin said with a smile, his eyes were full of doting.

After drinking and eating, Empress Changsun put down the bowls and chopsticks contentedly.

"Your Majesty, the food is so delicious. Is there a new imperial cook in the imperial dining room?" Empress Changsun said incredulously.

"Hahaha, Maid Guanyin, this is not a problem with the cook, but a problem with the ingredients."

"What? Ingredients? Is there something wrong with this ingredient? Aren't they all the same?"

Empress Changsun was a little puzzled. It seemed that what she ate was similar to what she usually eats. How could it be different?

"The ingredients I'm talking about refer to those dishes. This time, I don't use coarse salt, but fine salt."

"What? Fine salt?!"

Empress Changsun stood up with a bang, her eyeballs almost popping out.

Fine salt?

Datang actually extracted fine salt?

"No wonder this meal is so delicious. I didn't expect it to be because of the fine salt. Your Majesty, then, don't we people of the Tang Dynasty no longer worry about dying?"

"This is really great, Your Majesty, who refined this fine salt? Your Majesty should give it a good reward."

Empress Changsun said excitedly, her eyes filled with joy.

"Guanyin servant, don't worry, I have already rewarded Min'er by making him a salt and iron envoy and giving him [-]% of the salt sales commission. Is this reward enough?"

Li Shimin said with a smile, his tone full of pride.

Can you not be proud that such a difficult problem that the courtiers in the entire Tang Dynasty felt was extremely difficult was solved by his own son?
Boom!

Empress Changsun trembled all over, as if struck by lightning, she couldn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that this fine salt is extracted from the miner?"

Shock!

Too shocked!

So, this is why Li Shimin wanted Li Yin to be a salt and iron envoy, why he gave Li Yin [-]% of his income from selling salt, and why he reused Li Yin?
Empress Changsun couldn't believe it, she was horrified.

If the fine salt was really extracted by Li Yin, then what Li Shimin did is understandable, and at the same time, Li Yin is indeed worthy of these rewards.

The harm of coarse salt has been a problem for Datang since ancient times, but no one in Datang could refine it again.

Li Yin's contribution this time is enough to be recorded in the annals of history!
Immediately, she felt that Li Chengqian's feet were restrained and Changsun Wuji's punishment was deserved.

Such a meritorious minister who has made great contributions is still impeached, it is really wronged!
It's no wonder that Li Shimin was furious and punished Changsun Wuji angrily.

"That's right, Avalokitesvara, this time, I finally understand, Min'er is a great talent, and I'm so relieved to be able to get such a Qilin'er!"

Li Shimin said proudly.

.........

Another few days passed, and this time Li Yin did not stay in the palace every day, but was busy making tools for refining fine salt and speeding up the construction of factories.

Since it is necessary to refine fine salt, tools are essential, and at the same time, workshops are also indispensable.

"King Liang, it's already done here, can you see if it's up to standard?" The carpenter pointed to the still in the distance.

He has never seen such a strange thing, but after all, Prince Liang's Mansion ordered him to make it, and the quantity needed was quite a lot, so naturally he would not refuse the door, after all, how can there be no reason to not want the money at the door?
This time, it took him [-] minutes of effort to make each of these stills.

Li Yin looked at the distiller in front of him, with a satisfied look in his eyes, nodded immediately, and said with a smile:

"That's right, this thing is well made, and I'm very satisfied. You can make a few more. When the time comes, just go to the household department to pay the bill. Let's say it's His Majesty's arrangement."

"Yes, thank you His Royal Highness Liang Wang, I will do it now, young one."

The carpenter said ecstatically, immediately dropped the still and left happily.

On the other side, a group of soldiers came out of the yard with carts of coarse salt. The leader was none other than Cheng Yaojin.

"His Royal Highness Liang Wang, you brought the things you want to house, can you just put them in?" Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly, with an uncontrollable joy on his face.

Since the last time he tasted the meal made of fine salt, he can be said to be looking forward to this fine salt even more.

He was not even used to the food in the mansion, so he went directly to Prince Liang's mansion to ask for help, and finally spent a lot of money to get fine salt.

Thinking of the money that was spent, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but feel distressed. He only hoped that Liang Wang could mass-produce the fine salt soon, so that the price of fine salt would be much cheaper.

"General Cheng has worked hard, let them bring the fine salt in through the back door."

Li Yin gave orders.

now.

The butler also brought a large number of workers to the workshop, and they took their positions according to Li Ying's arrangement.

After all, it was the first time to make fine salt, and Li Yin naturally had to supervise the work. Fortunately, these workers were also very practical and capable, and every step was done perfectly.

Soon the day passed.

Seeing the workers methodically following their own steps to extract all the coarse salt, Li Yin nodded his head, and immediately walked forward, picked up a small piece of air-dried fine salt, smiled softly, satisfied road:
"You guys did a good job this time, and you have to follow these steps in the future. You've worked hard today, so go back and rest early. Get up tomorrow morning and pack the fine salt, and hand it over to General Cheng.

"It's His Royal Highness Liang Wang." The workers got up and left one by one.

Cheng Yaojin looked at the huge pile of fine salt in front of him, and laughed from ear to ear.
