Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

When Li Yuan was in power, he probably didn't care much about the salt and iron issue.

It has been less than a year since Li Shimin ascended the throne. In the early stage, he was dealing with the legacy of killing his brother and imprisoning his father. There was a drought at the beginning of spring, and he was busy with the food problem. He had no time to reach out to the interior of Yantiesi.

The combination of various reasons led to the existence of the Salt and Iron Division in name only, and the illegal salt outside became more and more serious.

"The water in Yantiesi is very deep, and I can't hold it if I'm not careful!"

When Li Yi'an saw it in the afternoon, he only read two-thirds of it, and there was still a small part that he didn't have time to read, but the questions he recorded, as well as the names of various people, were already densely packed.

Before he knew it, Li Yi'an would not stay and work overtime because of this kind of thing. After reading it, he still needs to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to rectify all the problems of salt and iron.

"Why, did you find out what's wrong?"

As soon as Li Yi'an came out of the work room, he saw Zheng Chengping folded his arms and looked at him, and heard him say with disdain: "If you want to stay in Yantie Division, you'd better not be smart."

Li Yi'an smiled and said, "If I think I'm smart, so what?"

Zheng Chengping grinned coldly: "Then I'll make you go hungry!"

After all, he no longer cared about Li Yi'an, and left with a group of people, extremely arrogant.

"You'd better not offend them in the future, the consequences are really serious."

said the man in fear.

"How serious can it be? That's all it seems to me!"

Li Yi'an said again: "By the way, what should I call you?"

"Chen Guangrui."

The man nodded.

"What did you say your name was?"

Li Yi'an was startled.

Who is Chen Guangrui?Isn't it the fictional Tang Seng's father in "Journey to the West", the number one scholar in the Zhenguan period, how could this fictional character also appear in reality?

"Chen Guangrui."

Chen Guangrui repeated it again and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, good name."

Li Yi'an shook his head, secretly calculated that this Chen Guangrui, an ordinary scholar from a poor family, should have the same name and surname as Tang Seng's father.

After saying goodbye to him, Li Yi'an returned to Ma Zhou's home in Chang'an, and it happened that Ma Zhou also came back.

"Sir, today is your first day here, how do you feel?"

Ma Zhou asked with a smile.

"I almost thought that this salt and iron envoy was not me, but a man named Zheng Chengping."

Li Yi'an said embarrassingly: "The water in Yantiesi is deeper than I thought!"

He briefly told the matter.

"Too presumptuous!"

Ma Zhou was furious, and immediately said: "I will enter the palace right away, and ask His Majesty to rectify the Yantie Division."

Li Yi'an waved his hand to call him back, shook his head and said, "It's not in a hurry, I have another plan. At the court meeting, help me impeach everyone in the Yantie Division, except me and Chen Guangrui."

Hearing that Li Yi'an still had plans, Ma Zhou felt at ease immediately, and asked again, "Do you have any other orders, sir?"

Li Yi'an thought for a moment, then asked, "Are you busy tomorrow?"

Ma Zhou shook his head.

"Then you'll be very busy soon."

Li Yi'an smiled meaningfully.

-

Lu's.

"Success!"

Holding a piece of paper, Lu Yulin laughed and said, "According to Li Yi'an's method, we really made paper."

Movable type printing type, they are also making.

But they have already got the finished paper.

With these things, the Lu family can also create a Chang'an Daily to control Chang'an's speech, and even more than that, he has already thought of all the means to maximize the benefits of the paper.

"Master, when we were making it, we also found a very strange thing. If we add a fire sickle to the pulp, it will not succeed. We need to remove the fire sickle." A craftsman said respectfully.

The fire sickle is a name for ancient white phosphorus, and it is a tool they used to make fire easily.

"There is such a thing, so is there any problem with the paper produced?"

Lu Yulin asked nervously.

"No problem at all."

The artisan shook his head.

"Then don't add the scythe, throw it all in the warehouse, and make paper as soon as possible."

Lu Yulin didn't think too much about it, and added: "There are also those font models, and they must be made quickly, so there must be no mistakes."

Not long after the craftsman left, Lu Xiuran walked in angrily.

"Aye, I thought of the way to deal with Li Yi'an again."

Lu Xiuran said with certainty: "This time, it will definitely succeed."

He roughly stated his plan.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yulin asked, "Are you sure, can it be done?"

"It's definitely possible. I want to completely discredit his reputation and repay him with his own way. I want to see how Li Erlang maintains a notorious person! Then, use our newspaper to report this Maximize things."

"Since it's possible, let's do it. His reputation is rotten. Even if Li Erlang doesn't give up on him, he won't be able to make waves. In the end, he can give the Cui family a favor."
