Li Shimin

Zheng Yunde breathed a sigh of relief and asked slowly.

"Returning to my lord, I heard that not only the county government of our Wannian County was besieged by a group of people. Even Chang'an County, as well as the snow grain salt shop, were also besieged by a group of people. !"

Dian Shi said with a smile on his face.

As long as a county government in Wannian County is not besieged by the people, it will be a great thing.

At least, even if someone ridiculed them, someone would accompany them.

However, what surprised Dian Shi was that his Master Mingfu's expression became even more anxious after hearing this.

"What happened to the Snow Salt Shop? Are there any injuries?"

"Back to my lord, the villain heard that those people were very impatient and almost demolished the snow grain salt shop. However, at the critical moment, the nearby Marquis Wu and the bad guys arrived in time, and there was a wave of quarrels, and those people They retreated!"

"As long as no one is injured!"

Zheng Yunde breathed a sigh of relief.

Dian Shi was full of astonishment and some doubts.

The Snow Grain Salt Shop should not be the shop in the family's home, right?

"Quickly explain it, let all the government servants look at the snow grain salt shop when they have nothing to do, don't let those people smash the snow grain salt shop on impulse!"

"Please don't worry, my lord, the villain will send out all the yamen servants!"

Dian Shi nodded with a clear face.

Immediately, he walked out quickly.

Master Mingfu of his own family really has great supernatural powers and deep roots.At the beginning of the year, King Jin slaughtered so many Japanese envoys at the gate and offended His Royal Highness Jin Wang, so far nothing has happened.

Unexpectedly, in less than two months this time, my Master Mingfu would make such a big deal about the Snow Salt Shop!

As long as he hugs the thighs of his master Mingfu, he will definitely be promoted, and the future is boundless!

Thinking about it, Dianshi is full of motivation.

Zheng Yunde didn't know that his worries were misunderstood by the rich classics and history.

He walked out of the yamen in a hurry, got into the carriage that had been prepared, and walked to Yongzhou Mansion.

Before that, Yongzhou Mu was Qin Wang Li Shimin, who is now His Majesty the Emperor Li Er.

Now, there is no state shepherd in Yongzhou Mansion, and Chang Shi is in charge of all government affairs.

at the same time.

In the Hall of Liangyi, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and other important officials bowed their hands to Li Shimin hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the people in the city could not afford to buy bitter salt because of a snow grain of salt, so they gathered at the gates of the yamen of Chang'an County and Wannian County!"

After saluting, Wei Zheng said with a straight face.

"Even, there were a group of common people who went to surround the Xueli Salt Shop. If Marquis Wu hadn't arrived, the shopkeeper of the Xueli Salt Shop and a group of shop assistants would have been torn apart by the angry people!"

"Your Majesty, I have heard about this too!"

On the side, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the others also hurriedly cupped their hands and said.

"How did those people know that it was because of the opening of Xueli salt shops that they couldn't afford bitter salt?"

Li Shimin's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Also, you must have eaten the snow grain salt in the snow grain salt shop. Such fine salt only sells for ten yuan a catty. Why are those people so dissatisfied?"

"Your Majesty, the salt merchant must have instigated this matter!"

Du Ruhui said affirmatively.

"Those salt merchants are mere merchants. How dare they dare to instigate the common people to surround the gate of the county government and the snow grain salt shop?"

Li Shimin sneered, "This matter must be because those aristocratic families are dissatisfied with the low price of the snow grain salt shop, and want to force the snow grain salt shop to increase the price of snow grain salt, or stop selling snow grain salt!"

"This……"

After hearing this, Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, then bowed his hands to Li Shimin and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, the common people cannot eat without salt, and the common people must be the most important thing in everything!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but looked at Wei Zheng strangely: "This statement is not in line with Wei Qing's principles. Wei Qing was entrusted by someone, and is waiting for a lobbyist?"

"Your Majesty forgive me, I don't understand what Your Majesty means!"

Wei Zheng looked puzzled.

"If I compromise with those noble families on this matter, then every time I harm the interests of those noble families, I will have to compromise? Even if it's about people's livelihood?"

Li Shimin's face was calm, obviously suppressing a lot of anger.

"Furthermore, Wei Qing should know what kind of serious crime he was instigating the people to surround the gate of the county government in Chang'an City. Those aristocratic families are slapping me in the face. Such violations of laws and regulations, Wei Qing's intention, will make Do I compromise with those salt merchants?"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I just learned that the common people don't have salt to eat, and I was so anxious that I didn't think carefully!"

Wei Zheng thought about it, and hurriedly bowed his hands in salute.

"Ok!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin just nodded lightly, and then looked at Changsun Wuji who was beside him.

"You can find out, who are the companies that are making trouble behind this time?"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. There was no advance notice of this matter, and we only just learned about it!"

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling said with shame on their faces.

Before that, Li Shimin had already told them to keep an eye on the group of salt merchants.

It's just that those salt merchants have always been honest, but those aristocratic families directly bypassed the salt merchants and directly did things behind their backs!

Moreover, they all received a report. When the people surrounded the gate of the county government, the salt merchants who heard the news were all shocked.

Afterwards, some salt merchants were full of fear.

Obviously, these salt merchants were also tricked by the family masters behind them!

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to deal with this matter? According to the situation in the city, many people have no salt to eat at home!"

Wei Zheng said.

"Li Wei, do you know how many snow grain salts are there in Chang'an city?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin turned to Li Wei and asked.

"Your Majesty, three thousand stones of snow salt have been accumulated in Chang'an City!"

Li Wei hurriedly cupped his hands and replied.

"Three thousand stones!"

After hearing this, Wei Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and then his face was overjoyed.

Li Shimin also had a flash of satisfaction in his eyes, and then continued to ask:

"How many stones of coarse salt?"

……

Chapter 251 Family: Wei Zheng turned against the water?

"Coarse salt?"

Hearing this, Wei Zheng was full of doubts and felt something was wrong.

Why does the snow grain salt shop still have coarse salt?

Moreover, how does His Majesty know so much about the situation of the Snow Salt Shop?

"Return to Your Majesty, coarse salt is more than five times faster than refined salt, and there are already [-] stones in the city."

Li Wei clapped his hands and replied.

"Very good!"

After listening, Li Shimin chuckled, extremely satisfied.

As for Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others, their faces were full of surprise.

They didn't expect that His Majesty had already quietly stored [-] shi of coarse salt in Chang'an City.

I just don't know how His Majesty transported the coarse salt back to the city without hiding the truth from those aristocratic families.

"Is there really ten thousand stones of coarse salt?"

Among the group of people, Wei Zheng was the most shocked.

Wei Zheng was born in a poor family. He was lonely and poor in his childhood.However, getting used to being poor, Wei Zheng developed great ambitions.First, he became a Taoist monk, and he read all the books in the Taoist temple thoroughly, and he dabbled in a wide range.

Afterwards, seeing that the world was about to be in chaos, he began to speak favorably and vertically and horizontally, in order to save the people from suffering.

It's just that Wei Zheng is good in everything, but his temper is too straightforward. As long as he doesn't let the people suffer, he can accept anything, commonly known as obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Fortunately, the world is in chaos, the heroes are competing, relying on the unknown luck, following a few changes in the boss, Wei Zheng climbed higher and higher, and the road to realize his ambition is getting closer and closer.

"What doubts does Wei Qing have?"

In a good mood, Li Shimin didn't care about Wei Zheng's stubborn words.

"Your Majesty, I wonder how coarse salt compares to the bitter salt on the market?"

Wei Zheng hurriedly cupped his hands and asked.

No matter what Li Shimin's attitude towards him is, he is not annoyed at all, and only cares about the issues he cares about.

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others also looked at Li Shimin curiously.

The matter of salt is more important.

Li Shimin did not allow them, the close officials of Qin Wang's old mansion, to join the group, so Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others, although they knew about Kuyan.

However, kosher salt was never seen.

"Coarse salt is yellowish in color and has a slightly bitter taste when eaten, but it is hundreds of times better than bitter salt!" Li Shimin explained.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what is the price of crude salt?"

Wei Zheng is not stupid, Li Shimin has already said so clearly, the relationship between Xueli Salt Shop and Li Shimin is ready to be revealed.

Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng, and said softly: "A catty of coarse salt and three liters!"

"Three texts?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Wei Zheng's eyes, and then he was overjoyed and directly bowed his hands to Li Shimin to thank him.

"Your Majesty is wise, all the people in the world can be saved!"

As for whether this price will make those aristocratic families even more angry, Wei Zheng will not bother.

As long as the people can afford salt, that's fine. With His Majesty around, even if the sky falls, it won't be his turn to top the vat.

On the side, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others had a flash of worry in their eyes, and then nodded hastily.

This time, they have to be serious!

Similarly, like Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others, in Chang'an City, all the officials of the aristocratic families gathered together, sipping tea with satisfaction, while listening to the servants report what happened in the city.

……

The next day.

early morning.

Just after seeing the ceremony, a supervisory censor held up a wat board and stood up to give advice.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I heard that there are treacherous merchants in the city who maliciously sell salt at a low price, disrupting the order of salt, and causing millions of people to have no food, so I spontaneously surrounded Wannian County and Chang'an County. The two county magistrates in Chang'an cried out, asking the imperial court to make decisions for them and arrest that profiteer who maliciously sold snow grain salt!"

Li Shimin didn't need to look at it, but he knew that this upright censor must be an official from a family and faction.

However, before Li Shimin spoke.

Below, another group of officials jumped out one after another, admonishing Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, such a vile and vile businessman should be imprisoned and all his salt and snow should be confiscated!"

"I heard that there are already tens of thousands of people who haven't eaten salt for many days!"
