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

Chapter 45

"Thanks to His Majesty and General Cheng, if it weren't for them, how could we have eaten this delicious fine salt?"

"Hiss, haven't you heard that this fine salt was made by King Liang?"

"What? Prince Liang? Are you talking about the uneducated Prince Liang who took over the entire flower house?"

"Isn't it? I was shocked at the time. I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Liang to be so powerful. It really shocked me."

…………

There was a lot of discussion.

At this time, an old man who was sitting in the teahouse drinking tea trembled all over, and the tea in his hand almost spilled out. Several old men beside him were also shocked, and they all looked at the table made of fine salt. The delicious meals that came out were full of confidence.

"Master Lu, did you hear that just now? They said that the fine salt was actually made by Liang Wang Li Yin. Is it true?"

"Isn't this guy an ignorant person? How can he still have such talent?"

"This is too unbelievable, but listening to these people's words, it doesn't seem like a lie. Could it be that Li Yin is really a rare genius?"

"Hiss, maybe, during this period of time, His Majesty has paid special attention and attention to His Royal Highness Liang Wang, which is enough to show that His Royal Highness Liang King's computer has its own advantages."

.........

Everyone was talking about it.

At this moment, Lu Ziwang, who was sitting on the main seat, looked calm, but his heart was already turbulent and turbulent.

He always thought that Li Yin was just an ignorant person, but now, when he heard that the fine salt was actually made by Li Yin, he was shocked in his heart.

If this fine salt is really made by Li Yin, then Li Yin is simply a genius.

hiss!
Lu Ziwang gasped, but still said:
"This matter is just a rumor from the neighbors. You have to believe it, but you can't believe it completely. When the time comes for the poetry competition, we will be able to see what kind of person Li Yin is. Whether he is a mule or a horse, we will know when he pulls it out for a while. up.

Lu Ziwang suppressed the shock in his heart and said calmly.

When the other people looked at Lu Ziwang who was so calm, they couldn't help admiring him. Sure enough, as the leader of Confucianism, he was so calm.

Some families were happy and some were sad. Since the sale of fine salt from the Tang Dynasty began, the imperial court's income had also increased rapidly. However, this made Qi Wang, the fifth surname, complain in his heart.

No, they held an emergency meeting again, and when everyone was angry, some even looked sad.

"What can we do now? The imperial court has developed fine salt, and the price has not changed much. The taste is better than coarse salt. Our current income has fallen step by step, and we have lost at least several million taels of silver."

"Don't talk about it, the rough salt in my house is pressed there, it's almost moldy, if you don't sell it, it's probably all useless!"

"When did the imperial court become so powerful, not only producing fine salt, but also at such a favorable price?"

"I think the imperial court is deliberately attacking our five surnames and seven surnames. No, we must find a way."

……

Everyone was talking about it.

And Mrs. Lu finally stood up and said, "Stop quarreling, what will be the result of such arguing?"

"The best way for us now is to steal the technology of refining Xiyan. When the time comes, we can produce fine salt ourselves, and we can compete with the imperial court."

"Brother Lu, although it sounds simple to say it, it is really difficult to do it. Not many people know the method of refining fine salt."

"Isn't Cheng Yaojin responsible for fine salt? Just bribe him."

"Are you kidding me? Cheng Yaojin is His Majesty's right-hand man, a minister with the upper hand, how could he be bribed so easily?"

.........

Everyone quarreled again.

"Okay, I have my own solution to this matter, you guys come here."

After Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she immediately waved to those people, and those people stepped forward. Only then did Mrs. Lu express her thoughts.

When everyone heard this, they were all overjoyed, their eyes sparkled, and they praised him repeatedly.

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

Soon it was the day when the Poetry Conference was held. The city of Chang'an was extremely lively, and many princes, generals, sons and students of the Xiang's family came one after another.

However, the children of those princes and nobles entered inside with only the jade pendants they carried close to their bodies.

As for those poor students, they were blocked out of the door one by one. The reason was that the plaque at the door said that they had to pay 50 taels of silver to enter the venue. You know, 50 taels of silver can be enough for a poor family to live for a year. Year.

Students from poor families like them couldn't even afford ten taels of silver. How could they possibly afford 50 taels of silver?

But if they couldn't hand it over and couldn't get in, then those poor disciples finally understood why Changsun Wuji took over the task of holding a poetry conference so actively, just to prevent them from getting in.

"Damn it! I didn't expect these bureaucrats and ministers to be so despicable and shameless. They knew we couldn't get the money, so they deliberately set up such a big problem."

"Unexpectedly, Master Lu and the others came to Chang'an City to accept disciples for the first time, and we didn't even have the chance to enter."

"So what? The bureaucrats won't let you in. How can you get in?"

"It's not fair, this is really unfair, this is simply blatant cheating!"

"Haha, so what if they cheat? What can you do to them?"

.........

Those poor students were all filled with grief and anger, but at the same time they were helpless.

Although they really wanted to participate in this poetry competition, they couldn't afford 50 taels of silver at all.

"Hey, why don't you guys go in?" A gorgeously dressed young man looked at the humble children standing at the door and sneered mercilessly:

"I'm going to forget, you poor people, even though you still want to go in, it's just a dream."

And the young masters around him also laughed and said:

"Isn't it? Toad wants to eat swan meat, it's just dreaming."

"It's better to study for a few more years and become a teacher in the future."

"Hahaha!"

.........

The children from the rich family laughed out loud, each and every one of them was full of sarcasm.

When these poor people heard this, they were furious and helpless. After all, they didn't have any capital to fight with them, so they could only swallow their anger.

now.

Inside Liang Wangfu.

Li Min was woken up early in the morning and heard the housekeeper hurriedly say:

"His Royal Highness Prince Liang, aren't you going to attend a poetry conference today? I'll ask someone to help you dress and wash up. The poetry conference is about to begin."
