Datang: Signed in for Seven Years and Was Exposed by Empress Changsun

"No way, who told me to make it so delicious."

"I don't care. Later in the evening, we will also eat lamb offal and fried lamb with green onions."

Luo Qianqian didn't enjoy eating too much, but she was different from everyone else.

She can eat it every day, and as long as she wants to eat, she can ask Li Hong to make it for her.

Although Li Hong found it troublesome to do these things, he did not refuse.

After all, I haven't had enough of this stuff myself, and it's the first time I've eaten stir-fried dishes since I came to Datang for so long.

But he had the right idea, that is to train all the cooks in the mansion to be cooks who can cook.

Not only that, but you have to learn everything from steaming, frying, frying, and braising.

Whoever says no, just teach.

He is determined to be able to eat the eight major cuisines of later generations in his own mansion in Datang.

But it is a pity that the eight major cuisines may not be enough.

Because Datang's ingredients are too few, many ingredients can't be produced at all now.

Fortunately, after replacing some ingredients with other spices, the taste is similar to that of later generations.

In the past few days, he held a five-star chef crash course at his residence.

The cooks are also learning hard, which is what they didn't expect.

The master actually knows so many cooking methods, many cooking methods they have never heard of before.

Just using these unheard of cooking methods, the dishes cooked are much more delicious than the dishes they cooked before, both in color and taste.

These days, the fragrance of the dishes from Li's family will often drift to other places.

The greedy people outside Li's mansion swallowed their saliva, and everyone knew that these scents were the scent of vegetables.

But I don't know where it came from, and there are rich merchants and nobles in Chang'an.

Even if Dialect loses all his family property, he has to eat such a delicious dish once, otherwise he will have a bad life for the rest of his life.

On this day, when Li Hong and Luo Qianqian were tasting food at home.

Li Shimin suddenly sent someone to summon him, saying that he had something important to discuss in the palace.

Seeing that the Huangmen who had passed on the message was in a hurry, Li Hong hurriedly changed his clothes and followed him into the palace.

When I came to the main hall where Li Shimin was, I found that a large group of ministers had gathered here.

The familiar Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were all here, and of course the old god Wei Zheng was standing there.

Generals Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Qin Shubao and others also came.

Li Hong was a little surprised by such a large battle. Could it be that there was another war there?

Just when he was puzzled, Li Shimin waved to him.

"General Li, you are here!"

"Your Majesty, what are your orders for summoning the ministers so urgently?"

"Is such that……"

Li Shimin propped his head and spoke, obviously having a headache.

It turned out that many merchants reselling private salt were found in Chang'an.

Originally, the imperial court didn't care about it, but these merchants selling private salt have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Heads popped up one by one, and it was impossible to catch them all.

In the end, it was Dali Temple who caught a businessman selling private salt and asked about the situation.

It turned out that a salt field was discovered on the outskirts of Chang'an, but the person who discovered the salt field did not report it to the court.

Mining private salt by yourself and reselling it.

You must know that salt is monopolized by the imperial court, which is very important to the imperial court's finances.

That's why the imperial court cracked down on private salt so vigorously. Now that there are so many private salt sellers in Chang'an, the impact on the treasury is not insignificant.

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Hong was very puzzled, "Since this is the case, the imperial court directly confiscated this salt field. Even if these salt smugglers still have stocks in their hands, they won't last long!"

"That's not the problem." Li Shimin sighed, "The problem of selling private salt is easy to solve. The biggest problem is that the salt mined in this salt field is all poisonous salt."

After speaking, Li Shimin showed anxiety on his face.

At this moment, Du Ruhui added, "Many people in Chang'an City have already died from eating poisonous salt. Fortunately, the amount of this batch of salt sold is not large, so it shouldn't cause any major problems."

"I still don't understand." Li Hong looked at him puzzled, "Isn't that good? Even if the poisonous salt mined from that salt field was confiscated by the court in time, and the sold salt was also sold. a bit less,

What are you still worried about? "

"In fact, there is a problem that has always plagued Datang. Of course, this problem is not only a problem that only plagues Datang. It should be a problem that has plagued thousands of years. That is, many of the salt fields mined in China are poisonous salt.

These salt fields can produce a lot of salt, but they can only be seen and cannot be eaten. Some people will steal this poisonous salt when they steal the salt. In the end, they will hurt themselves. There are also unscrupulous businessmen who secretly sell the poisonous salt.

Ordinary people don't know the difference between cheap poisonous salt, and if you eat it, you will die. We all know that General Li is well-informed, so we just asked if there is any way to accurately mine edible salt. "
