At the beginning, he will be divided by five horses of Tang Taizong

""

In the city of Chang'an, everyone was in commotion.

Chapter 301 Cutting the Leeks

The atmosphere in Chang'an City is on fire

People kept pouring into Chang'an, and many fast horses went out from Chang'an to deliver news.

His Majesty's announcement of the distribution license for table salt was like a fire that ignited the long-suffering salt industry, bursting out with abnormal energy.

At this time, as long as you can catch it, you will make it, so everyone who heard the news was crazy.

There were even some carriages, not only coming in and out, but a crazy thing happened, two carriages collided, and the carriage overturned, and coins fell from it.

It can't help but shock everyone.

And Li Shimin asked Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and several others to set up a department specializing in the salt industry.

Salt Management Division

Although this department is newly established, there is indeed an endless stream of people coming and going, and people keep coming to inquire about the news, many of them are ministers of fruit industry, such as Cheng Yaojin, this guy has been here several times, asking some questions in different ways.

He even found out about Qin Shou's family and tried to find out the truth with money.

After someone came out of the Salt Control Department, he whispered: "Insider news, when you get the salt distribution license, you will also get the method of making refined salt."

The news spread like wildfire and detonated Chang'an again.

Many families and merchants are running around, delivering news to their own families.

......

"His royal family of the Li family is deceiving people too much!"

"Those guys must have done it on purpose. The children of our family were just arguing with them, and they were murdered. Is that okay?"

"Oh!"

Cui Wang got up suddenly, and placed the teacups in his hands heavily on the table, all the water in them splashed out.

hiss!

The water in the cup was just poured out, and it was still a little hot. Cui Wang was so angry that he quickly shook his hand, and the cup fell to the ground.

But at this time, the aristocratic families on the side were silent, and they all gritted their teeth with depression in their hearts.

"Master Wang, what should we do now? Why don't we also bid for the salt distribution license?"

Wang Gui from the Taiyuan Wang family turned his head to look at him, and said coldly, "Then...how about you go to bid?"

"Then..." The head of the Wei family hesitated and said nothing.

The person who spoke just now suddenly bowed his head and remained silent.

That's what they're dealing with.

They can't sell table salt at all, especially after Qin Shou made people publicize that there are impurities in the so-called coarse salt, and there are some poisonous substances, they changed it to refined salt in their own home. Although no one in the family said it clearly, but This is the time.

As for the assassination method like before, there are lessons learned from the past. They have a great career and can't afford it. They know very well that if they don't kill the other party, then the members of their family may soon usher in revenge.

Those fire-breathing and smoke-breathing weapons, now that you think about it... it's scary.

At this time, a close friend of Wang Gui came to the door and knocked.

"Come in!"

Wang Gui looked at the other party, "What's the matter? Did you find this place?"

The visitor saluted Wang Gui and said, "Master, this is a letter from His Highness!"

Wang Gui unfolded it and stood up abruptly, "Those who get the salt distribution license will also get the essence! How is the salt made?"

Are you going to announce the method of making refined salt?

Everyone couldn't help being bombarded by the repeated news, their brains became swollen, and their complexions changed completely. What should we do?

If they were indifferent before, this time it is completely different. The method of making refined salt is what they are longing for.

"How about... we also participate?"

.......

Auction opens three days later

The Salt Management Department set up a large shed in front of the imperial city, and Wei Zheng went up to speak: "The purpose of everyone's visit should be the same, that is, the distribution license for salt. His Majesty is going to release fifty bidders first. If the identity is found out afterwards, the license will be withdrawn and severe punishment will be imposed..."

Whoa!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

"Fifty?"

"Didn't you say three hundred before?"

"Why did it suddenly become fifty?"

All of a sudden, everyone was in a mess.

"Silence!" Wei Zheng patted the table, "Fifty will be released this year, and another fifty will be released next year, for six consecutive years, exactly [-]!"

"This......"

Before the three hundred cards, everyone felt that there was not much pressure, but if there were only fifty cards, it would be completely different.

calcalute it

Boling Cui, Zhaojun Li, Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, Longxi Li, Jingzhao Wei, Hedong Pei, Lanling Xiao, Jingzhao Du, Hongnong Yang, Hedong The Liu family, the Hedong Xue family...how many nobles are there in these families alone?

Not to mention the nobles in the south, the more important thing is whoever can get it first, that is the first to win the opportunity.

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he started bidding, and the auction continued to rise from the beginning.

The low price of [-] strings quickly doubled.

And these were just the first two tickets, and even if it reached more than 30 guan, everyone kept asking for the price as if they had been beaten to death.

The price has also risen all the way, and soon rushed to 50 guan.

Li Shimin didn't even think of such a high price, and behind this frenzy, some families even got together to get a license.

Within the Imperial City

Li Shimin's face turned red when he heard the news from over there, and his heart was beating violently.

Oh my God!

It's really hard to imagine that these families are so rich?

He turned his head and glanced at Qin Shou, and said meaningfully: "I'm afraid there will be people from high-ranking families among these families!"

Qin Shou nodded, took out some letters from his hand, and handed them over, "Your Majesty, take a look at this!"

"Ok?"

Li Shimin looked at the letter and shrank his eyes suddenly, "Where did you get this thing?"

"Last time, the Turkic princess who hijacked me gave it to me. I think it will be useful to His Majesty." Qin Shou said with a slightly red face.

Li Shimin's eyes were cold and murderous, "I said, where did Jieli Khan's money and food come from? So they funded it?"

The light in his eyes flickered, and he said again: "A few days ago, Li Jing and Zhen reported something secretly. They discovered that Fan Yang Lu's business relationship with Goguryeo, which involved salt and iron."

"Sin is unforgivable!"

Qin Shou smiled and said, "Father-in-law, don't panic, the leeks haven't been cut yet!"

......

Bidding Remains Hot, Even Frenzied

Many wealthy businessmen on the surface, in fact, are not sure what kind of power is behind them, especially some wealthy families behind them are also participating in the competition at this time.

What they bought was not a distribution license, but the method of making refined salt.

Those merchants and aristocratic families are like crazy, scrambling and clamoring, pushing up the price again and again, the madness of which is jaw-dropping.

Especially in the end, the price of several distribution licenses was pushed to a price close to one million guan.

However, just after everyone auctioned off the distribution license and everyone was waiting for the so-called refined salt production method,

Wei Zheng took out a piece of paper and put it on a tray.

The voice said lightly: "Next, the method of making refined salt will be auctioned!"

Everyone in the audience was stunned!

The place was silent!

what?

what's going on?

Didn't it mean to buy a distribution license and give away the method of making refined salt?

Why is it now said that the method of making refined salt is going to be auctioned?

immediately

Whoa!

The entire auction scene was in an uproar!

.......

It's the end of the month, please ask for a ticket for broth!

Chapter 302

The scene was weird for a while.

Those families and merchants who were not involved in the salt industry before, their eyes were flickering at this moment, and their hearts seemed unwilling, but the reaction was not that great, because they had less fiefdoms, less salt wells and salt mines, even if they could get refined salt to make However, the profit is not so much. On the contrary, with the distribution license, they can get involved in the salt industry from now on.

The people who reacted the most were people from various aristocratic families. Just now they were very excited about getting the method of making refined salt, but now their expressions froze!

Confused!

Salt distribution license, do they need it?

No need, but millions of guan were spent in vain!

Wang Gui, the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang clan, was trembling with anger at this moment, "This is fraud, fraud."

Cui Wang also yelled angrily: "Wan Wanguan, you just bought a license. Does our family need such a license?"

Wang Gui took out a note, and this note was sent by Li Zhi, if not, how could he believe this news.

The expressions of these people from the aristocratic families are sharp and their words are not rude.

Li Chao of the Li family in Zhao County also said in a cold tone: "If you don't give us the method of making refined salt today, this matter will never end!"

Bang!

Boom!

Unexpectedly, the table was turned over, and the scene suddenly became a mess.

At this moment, the arrogance of the aristocratic family is fully displayed!

When they have privileges and enjoy all the benefits, their faces are benevolent, and once their interests are touched, they will suddenly show their fangs and sharp teeth.

"I want to go to the palace to find His Majesty!" Wang Gui gritted his teeth and said.

"Go to Li Tang's royal family!"

inside the palace

Li Zhi is seeing Li ShiMin.

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi with burning eyes, "Zhier, I asked you to write a letter to Wang Gui, do you have any complaints?"

"I dare not!" Li Zhi said with his head down.

The letter was indeed written by Li Zhi, but Li Shimin asked him to write it.
