Datang: Ten consecutive draws every week

“Report, King Zhou asks for a meeting!”

“Xuan come in.”

Li Shimin lost his mind slightly, and by coincidence, the voice of the guards outside the imperial study sounded.

Li Xiaogong’s eyes narrowed, and from the change in Li Shimin’s face, he instantly noticed a surprising fact.

Li Yuanfang, a cousin who has not yet reached the crown, is also one of today’s protagonists!

So the question is, what exactly involves the emperor’s cousin, himself and the little cousin?

‘Recently, the people of the world have been troubled by all kinds of gossip, and besides, I heard that Yuanfang was ill not long ago… Wait a minute! Shimin won’t want me to bring Yuanfang. ’

The so-called ‘belt’ in Li Xiaogong’s words was Li Shimin asking him to exercise Li Yuanfang, because in his cognition, people with good bodies and bones are not easy to get sick.

‘No, Lao Tzu doesn’t have the patience to take children, and if what he wants comes true, he must pretend to be stupid and stunned. Obviously, Li Shimin didn’t know that Li Xiaogong relied on brain supplementation and successfully bluffed himself.

“I’ve seen Your Majesty, I’ve seen my cousin!”

A crisp teenager’s voice suddenly sounded.

Li Xiaogong looked up, it was a young man with bright eyes who was still at an innocent age.

“Come and sit down and talk.”

Li Shimin smiled on his face, and he was a little satisfied with Li Yuanfang, who saluted respectfully.

Li Yuanfang nodded and walked over generously.

“Feng Le, you take everyone to retreat.”

“You remember, no one is allowed to enter the imperial study without Xuan’s order.”

Li Shimin waved his hand, and the internal attendants and palace maids in the imperial study room retreated in an orderly manner, leaving only himself, Li Xiaogong, and Li Yuanfang in the room.

The three people sat down around the table, Feng Le personally delivered tea, and then finally retreated and closed the door of the imperial study intimately.

“Not long ago, I heard that Yuanfang was seriously ill, has he ever gotten better these days?”

“Thank you cousin for your concern, it’s already safe now.”

Li Yuanfang smiled and arched his hand towards Li Xiaogong.

The two are not familiar, and some polite words are naturally inevitable.

“Boom! Boom! ”

Li Shimin habitually tapped his finger on the table several times to show quiet.

“Salt, tea and raw silk were almost monopolized in the hands of the family gatekeepers, and the advantage of the imperial court was grain, and the one that could be compared with the two was sugar.”

“Who doesn’t know about this, it’s a pity that all the sugar craftsmanship is not good, and the sugar of our Great Tang is not even as good as that sold by Hu merchants.”

Li Xiaogong resisted the urge to roll his eyes, but he couldn’t help but complain.

Sugar is something that everyone likes all ages, but for those sugar craft, he is willing to pay a high price to buy frosted candy to enjoy at home.

Otherwise, when the sugar cane in the territory is ripe, cut it down, wash it and gnaw it.

Li Shimin coughed lightly, looked at Li Yuanfang with a smile, and then looked at Li Xiaogong.

“Ahem, the frosted candy that Hu Shang got from Tianzhu is yellow, and the selling price is as high as 100 to 300 Wen, but the world chooses to buy frosted candy because they can’t afford to eat more expensive honey.”

“With the explosion of frosted sugar, all Hu merchants have made a full profit, and the money belonging to the Great Tang has flowed into other countries, but there is no solution.”

Li Xiaogong nodded frequently, he understood this difficulty, but what did he do to mention this for no reason?

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin patted Li Yuanfang’s shoulder with satisfaction.

“Who would have thought that the improvement of the sugar boiling process actually came from a Wang Ye who hated taking medicine, and the initiative about sugar finally returned to my own hands in the Great Tang.”

Of course, Li Xiaogong was really shocked, and Li Yuanfang just acted it.

“Cousin means we have better sugar than frosted sugar?” Li Xiaogong was so shocked that his voice changed tone.

“The sugar made by my brother… Worth a lot? Li Yuanfang asked blankly.

As soon as these unbeaten words came out, not only Li Shimin, but even Li Xiaogong hated to look at Li Yuanfang without steel.

“Grain, sugar, salt, tea, etc., are indispensable for the people and important strategic materials for the country.”

“Important means very expensive and valuable.”

Li Yuanfang’s eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and he calmly performed the appearance of a young man who was tempted by huge profits, and his eyes stared at Li Shimin without blinking.

“Yes, it is very valuable, gray sugar processed into sugar without bitterness is waste utilization, directly using raw material sugar cane to boil white sugar, the profit is so high that you can’t imagine.”

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanfang with a smile, after all, it is normal for the young man to resist the temptation of money.

“How tall!?” Li Yuanfang ‘naively’ asked Li Shimin, but in his heart he had already decided that he could not give up his own profits.

“One percent profit is enough for you to have food and clothing for the rest of your life.” Li Shimin put up a finger and added in his heart that as long as you kid doesn’t do something out of character.

“Hiss.” Li Yuanfang gasped.

Li Xiaogong heard this silently, and couldn’t help rubbing his hands with emotion.

“Hehe, I have raw materials, my little cousin comes out of technology, and His Majesty is the representative of power.”

“If you keep me today, don’t you want the three of us to open a sugar workshop together.”

Li Xiaogong wanted a piece of the pie, but he was worried that he had angered Li Shimin, so he took Li Yuanfang off the water.

“Exactly.” Li Shimin nodded decisively.

“Can Nachen see the finished white sugar with his own eyes and taste it by the way?” Li Xiaogong said shamelessly.

“You, you.” Li Shimin shook his head with a smile and took out a mahogany tray covered with silk from under the desk.

The mahogany tray was placed firmly on the desk, and the silk covering it was lifted open, revealing the delicate white sugar inside.

“Hehe, you’re welcome.”

Saying that, Li Xiaogong directly picked up the small spoon on the tray and tasted a bite of white sugar.

This taste was incredible, and Li Xiaogong’s eyes lit up.

“Good, good, good, delicate in the mouth, very pure sweetness, absolute premium sugar !!!”

“Little cousin, your bitter problem is quite good, really!”

Staring at the eyes of the two cheap brothers, Li Yuanfang cursed softly.

“I’m afraid of this matter, I can’t live in this life, right?”

However, Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong looked at each other and pretended that they couldn’t hear it.

“The sugar factory must be established, and the two of you will take 20% of the profits.”

Li Shimin’s abacus crackled, he had all his strength and many subordinates, so he wanted to directly build the largest sugar factory in one step.

“Two percent is too little.” Li Xiaogong was not convinced: “If the profits are more, I will go back and encourage the local people to grow sugar cane on a large scale.” ”

“Hmph, my cousin needs to invest 30,000 to build a workshop, and I will give you 20% of the profit.” Li Shimin snorted coldly.

“There is no such business in the world, you are trying to make me lose money!” Li Xiaogong lowered his head in frustration.
