I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

"Really? How did I hear that no matter what kind of salt, brine salt, sea salt, as long as it is salt, whether it is made or sold, it can only be done by the government?"

"Old Li, there are too many money-making businesses in the world, and we are not waiting for money to save our lives. This is a great cause for everyone, so there is no need to engage in such brain-destroying business!"

Li Shimin really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, why did no one believe him when he told the truth? He didn't know how to explain it now, so he could only turn his head and say clearly,

"Someone is a member of the royal family. Although some things are indeed more convenient, I still don't do illegal transactions. I really know that this transaction is not illegal."

"If you don't believe me, as long as you can make snow salt in large quantities, how about a certain person in charge bringing you documents from the government?"

Zhang Nuo squinted his eyes and looked at Lao Li. He always felt that something was wrong with Lao Li today. Why did he talk about making money after entering the door?

Old Li's family just received this month's bonus a few days ago, thousands of guan!

Basically, all the money invested in the winery has been earned back. It is reasonable to not be so anxious about money. Could it be that something happened at home?

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo thought that Lao Li was a pretty good person on weekdays, so he took the initiative to ask,

"Lao Li, did something happen to you at home? You are not so interested in money on weekdays! If you borrow money, if the amount is not particularly large, I can help you find a way to get it together!"

It's not that Zhang Nuo is stingy, he really doesn't have much cash!

As long as a certain amount of copper coins is gathered, he will arrange for Lao Fang to find a way to exchange them into gold, silver, etc., and then pile them into the system.

At this moment, the tens of thousands of coins in the family can definitely be taken out, but there will be no more, but it seems that Lao Li's situation cannot be solved by small money!

Li Shimin is really anxious about money recently, although this year because of the auction authorized by the royal firm and his business partnership with Zhang Nuo, his internal funds are a little richer.

But there are many places that cannot stand the use. At the end of the year, officials of all sizes in Chang'an City have to pay year-end bonuses and salaries, which is a large sum.

Not to mention that at the dinner party at the end of the year, he had to reward all the ministers. This was a must-have event every year. This year he became the emperor, so this procedure was naturally indispensable.

But if you are not in charge, you don’t know how expensive Chai Mi is. When I watched his father become the emperor a few years ago, it didn’t feel like rewarding him one by one, but now it’s his turn to pay, so I really feel sorry for him.

He calculated and calculated, and finally found a reward plan that was decent but would not completely drain his internal money.

Recently, because of the money spent in court and in the palace, he almost turned his hair gray!

Hearing what shopkeeper Xiao Zhang said now, he almost burst into tears.

"Don't talk about it, I feel very happy when I earn money. I spend too much money at the end of this year, so I think I still have to add some income to the family, or I won't be able to stand it in the coming year!"

Looking at Lao Li's pitiful appearance, Zhang Nuo really didn't know what to say, so he sighed and said leisurely,

"Lao Li, don't lie to me. Are you really sure that we will not be arrested by the government if we build a salt mine or make a large amount of coarse salt to make snow salt?"

Li Shimin really couldn't laugh or cry, he wished he could just give his identity to the showdown right now, chatting with each other was really tiring.

But there's no way, it's all made by himself, and he has to continue acting with tears in his eyes!

"Brother, don't worry, as long as we don't make rough salt and sell it, but just sell snow salt, I will not only get you paperwork, but also a salt mine!"

"It's just that we can only do the snow salt business. After all, the government has to rely on coarse salt to make money for the treasury. You must know that there are still many people in the world who can only do coarse salt. The small business of snow salt is still a little bit of face. some!"

After Zhang Nuo silently calculated in his heart, he said seriously,

"A year of [-] shi snow salt, are you sure you don't sell it directly to the government, and then let the government resell it to make money? Can we sell so much by ourselves?"

Li Shimin almost choked to death with a mouthful of saliva, and he stammered for a long time before asking;

"One year...five...fifty thousand stones? Is it all snow salt?"

Zhang Nuo nodded, but he didn't think so in his heart. Just kidding, [-] shi a year is nothing. The equipment is still not up to standard, otherwise I will buy you more in a year.

Li Shimin saw that Zhang Nuo nodded, his face flushed with excitement, his neck became thicker, and he wandered around the room in excitement, then leaned over and asked,

"Can you really get fifty thousand stones of snow salt a year?"

Zhang Nuo looked at him again and nodded affirmatively!

Li Shimin gasped heavily, he was so excited!

Oh my god, [-] shi of snow salt a year, whoever buys snow salt on weekdays doesn’t buy it on the basis of one tael or two, and those who can buy one or two catties are big households.

But this little shopkeeper said [-] shi!

If it is really the same as the snow salt next to the stove, how much money will you earn this year?Then he is still in a hurry?

"Brother, in this way, when a certain salt mine and documents are produced, you can set a price for the snow salt made at that time. As long as it is cheaper than the market, this certain person will be responsible for selling it to the government!"

Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li in surprise,

"I didn't expect it, Lao Li, your royal family is quite useful at a critical moment, and you can sell it directly to the government! Then we must be able to do this business, don't worry about not being able to sell it, just produce it with peace of mind!"

Li Shimin also nodded excitedly, but then leaned over and asked,

"Then how much should we sell?"

After Zhang Nuo briefly calculated in his mind, he said seriously,

"It's half the price of what's on the market now!"

Li Shimin was completely dumbfounded, the shopkeeper Zhang is not making any money?

Or is it that he has changed his gender and no longer loves money?Otherwise, how can such a good thing be sold so cheap?

On the contrary, Zhang Nuo is a little embarrassed. Nima, things that cost one or two yuan a catty in later generations are now sold for 500 yuan a catty. Isn't it a bit too cruel?

How about lowering the price a bit?

Chapter 139 Let Lao Li Be the Emperor

For Zhang Nuo, making snow salt is really not a difficult task. There is a crude salt purification experiment in the junior high school chemistry textbook.

But the crux of the problem is that he really didn't expect that he could still get involved in the salt business.

After all, in the final analysis, a large part of the imperial treasury's revenue comes from these monopoly, and the salt industry monopoly is undoubtedly the bulk of it.

I don't know about the others, but Zhang Nuo knows that in many later dynasties, including the Tang Dynasty, even wine became a court monopoly, let alone salt.

But now Lao Li is thinking about money like crazy, and he actually came across the salt business directly, which made Zhang Nuo, who has always been daring, feel his scalp tingling.

But he also wanted to understand, no matter how Lao Li, the royal family, cheated a piece of paper from Li Shimin, anyway, there were no minerals and papers, so he was determined not to do this.

There is no way, now that everyone has a great career, he is afraid!

So, Zhang Nuo pondered for a while, and seriously approached Lao Li and whispered,

"Old Li, I'll give you [-]% of this deal!"

Li Shimin was taken aback, what's the matter, recently the shopkeeper Xiaozhang stopped eating meat and became a vegetarian?

Think about the first time you talked about business with Zhang Nuo, it was really a stalker who came and went with swords and swords.

But now the salt business is simply an industry that sits at home and waits to collect money. This shopkeeper Zhang actually offered to give it to the forty percent?

Is there any fraud in this?

But it shouldn’t be, this is actually just working for the government, not directly selling it on the market, but directly reselling it to the government to earn a difference.

If this kind of business is still risky, then Li Shimin really doesn't understand what it means to be risk-free.

However, this is not the time to be polite. Since the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang is willing to give it, he must be willing to accept it. After all, shopkeeper Xiao Zhang only needs to support one Zhuangzi, and he still has a whole palace to support.

Seeing that Lao Li was still hesitating there, Zhang Nuo became more and more uncertain. Could this Lao Li plan to secretly engage in private salt business and plan to rebel?

He didn't forget that when he first learned the Liangyi Acacia Book given by the system, the first thing he looked at was Lao Li, and that prominent imperial face was no joke.

He even found out later that not only Lao Li, but even Lao Li's father had the face of an emperor. What did this mean?

Although not everyone with the face of an emperor can be an emperor, at least, if he is a relative of the emperor and has the face of an emperor, he can still live well, which proves that Lao Li should be the best among the emperor's relatives.

Otherwise, the emperor who knew the news would have killed him long ago.

But, Lao Li, you can't be impulsive. What Zhang Nuo needs to spread is the culture of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and what he wants to spread is the reputation of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The more Zhang Nuo thought about it, the more he had a headache. Seeing that Lao Li was still thinking about it, Zhang Nuo hurriedly said,

"Lao Li, I'll give you four at most, so don't think about anything else, don't even think about the rebellion! Living your own life is the right thing to do!"

Li Shimin looked at Zhang Nuo and felt puzzled, why was he about to rebel?

This world belongs to him, does he create his own rebellion?

But he couldn't say this, but he still had to ask what should be asked!

"Brother, do you have any misunderstandings? Now that the father is kind and the son is filial, and life is happy, why do you want to rebel? Could it be that the royal family should not be the emperor?"

Looking at Lao Li's serious face, Zhang Nuo always felt that Lao Li hadn't told the truth completely, but if he continued to ask the bottom line, he would be a little shallow.

So Zhang Nuo said seriously,

"Lao Li, this is the last time I will tell you, and it is also the most serious one. Although I am not a complete Datang person, I have only been in Datang for less than a year, but I can sing any song on any mountain. I don't want to see the world in chaos and smoke everywhere!"

"As long as you have any thoughts of rebellion, you should extinguish it yourself as soon as possible. In terms of friendship, I will not sue the officials, but our friendship has come to an end!"

Li Shimin could feel the seriousness in Zhang Nuo's words. He knew that although this little brother was joking and joking on weekdays, he was extremely proud in his bones.

But when such a person talks to you seriously, it proves that there is no room for bargaining.

Li Shimin even believed that as long as he said anything about rebellion at this moment, it would definitely be the last time he entered the shopkeeper's house today.

However, the rebellion that Li Shimin was supposed to rebel had already been done!

He has already become the emperor, as long as he prevents others from rebelling, he will make a woolen rebellion himself!

Therefore, even if Li Shimin was very moved at the moment, Zhang Nuo really treated him as a close relative and friend, he still couldn't laugh or cry.

But this is not the time for him to make a playful smile. After he settled down, Li Shimin said seriously,

"Brother, a certain swears here today that in the future, if there is even a half-hearted act of rebellion in the future, there will be a thunderbolt, and there will be no whole body!"

Seeing Lao Li's swearing expression, Zhang Nuo pondered for a while, then nodded seriously.

This year is not the era when future generations swear to be farts, this year is an era when people can risk their lives for the oath, since Lao Li has already sworn a poisonous oath, he should not mess around.

Zhang Nuo patted Li Shimin's shoulder in satisfaction, and said with a smile,

"Old Li, don't blame me for being supercilious. In fact, you and your father both look like emperors, and you follow me to make a lot of money. I'm really worried about your rebellion!"

"However, in the future, I will have a lot of credit. At worst, I will exchange it for a little king or something outside the territory, so that you can enjoy being a little king!"

"Don't even think about the rebellion. You are the royal family. I will make so much contribution in the future. I will definitely make you a little king!"

Li Shimin didn't know what to say at the moment.

You are happy, a person who does not even have a title, now thinking of exchanging his merits for a king in the future, this is really treating him like a brother!

After all, even if it is the king of a small country, it is still an existence that seals the frontiers and cracks the soil, and the credit required is greater than the sky, but this little brother I recognized promised so much.

But at the same time, this is the most troublesome thing for him. How can he tell Shopkeeper Zhang that he is not trying to disappoint him, but that he is already the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so how can he also be the king of a small country?

So, for a while, Li Shimin's face looked like a dyeing workshop, and it was red and purple for a while.

And Qin Qiong, who had been sitting on the sofa watching all this in front of him, was holding back his laughter so much that his stomach was about to explode. These two people were so much fun, but it's a pity that they couldn't laugh, so sad!

Chapter 140 Military Reform

The conversation between Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin basically came to an end here.

They are all elders. Now that the conversation has reached this point, there is no way to chat any more. Let's all have a good time and keep silent.

Li Shimin only found out that Qin Qiong was there after the chat. Seeing Qin Qiong's flushed face, he suddenly became angry from nowhere.

The shopkeeper Xiao Zhang is his righteous brother, he has seen all kinds of tired looks, and he has not lost face in front of him once or twice, he is used to it.

But Qin Qiong is different. This is a general under his command. Just now, the emperor looked so embarrassing. You can forget it when you see him, but he didn’t escape the danger immediately. The face is red.

At this time, Li Shimin felt for the first time that Qin Qiong was probably just a loyal black-bellied bastard on the surface, who would suffocate you to death!

Li Shimin is the kind of person who is holding back his fire?

Just kidding, those who can be good emperors, especially those emperors who took the throne by themselves, are almost all decisive masters, and they all belong to the category of revenge on the spot.

Li Shimin sat down next to Qin Qiong, then slapped Qin Qiong on the shoulder fiercely, hugged Qin Qiong and said loudly,

"Qin Er, it seems that the body is recovering well, and the bones of the body are getting stronger and stronger. When will you follow the second leader to fight the world!"

Qin Qiong's face is definitely not red now, it can't be whiter!

He is not Zhang Nuo. Zhang Nuo dared to hook up with Li Shimin. One reason was that Zhang Nuo didn't know Li Shimin's identity. Official position, that is only a military official.

But he is different, he is like Li Shimin now, if someone with a heart sees it and spreads it, his general and Duke will basically forget about it, and he will have to be sprayed into a sieve by the Yushitai gang.

But His Majesty's arm was on his shoulder, and he slapped him just now. Wouldn't it be disrespectful if he took the initiative to get up and shake off His Majesty?
