Gao Yang's face was flushed, and he didn't know how to tell Lang Jun about it.

"What are you talking about? Come and eat! ”

Li Shimin looked at Qin Shou and Gao Yang muttering there, and couldn't help but interrupt in confusion.

"No..... It's nothing! Qin Shou hurriedly snorted.

"Huh~" This couldn't help but make Gao Yang's heart feel relieved, but her brows were condensed, and her heart was in a mess, because she knew that Lang Jun had begun to doubt.

Seeing his father-in-law eating very fragrantly, Qin Shou's heart was chaotic.

He is still worried about his father-in-law, he has seen it several times, his father-in-law is too flamboyant in his words and affairs, he likes to talk about state affairs without saying anything, he should always look like he is pointing the country, and this time he wants to touch the salt.

He couldn't help but complain wildly in his heart, this thing is also the weight that we ordinary people can bear?

Sure enough, what Qin Shou was worried about happened again.

When Li Shimin was almost full of food and drink, he inadvertently asked again: "Qin Shou, since Emperor Wen of Sui, he has been thrifty, shaken the game, recuperate, and abolished the monopoly of salt, iron, and wine. ”

When Qin Shou heard this, his face turned purple, why did he have such a father-in-law?

There is a way, if you are poor or stupid, you are not afraid, you are afraid of this kind of death, the key is that once this kind of thing is implicated, you will have to be unlucky as a son-in-law.

"Father-in-law, can we stop mentioning the salt?"

Nyima has liver pain.

If it were someone else, Qin Shou would have scolded a long time ago, but this is his father-in-law after all, and some things can't be said too directly.

He thought for a long time, scratched his head and said: "Father-in-law, that's what I said, but let's look at the course of history, which dynasty and which generation did not control salt and iron strictly, and it was not to kill the head or even raze the nine clans?" ”

"Why don't you understand? Let me ask you, why did the imperial court monopolize salt? ”

"That's because salt, as a money-making machine for the imperial court, can not only help the government obtain a lot of wealth and stabilize the country's rule, but also, to a certain extent, help the government manage civil organizations. And the control of a large number of salt merchants in their own hands, to a certain extent to reduce the emergence of domestic rebellion, is also an important reason for the monopoly of salt in all dynasties. ”

"Also because firewood, rice, oil, smoke, ginger, vinegar and tea are all necessities for our people's lives, in these things, except for salt, there is no substitute for any of them, basically the people can be self-sufficient."

"But salt is terrible, ordinary people can't make it, there is no substitute, not to mention, you have to eat it in your mouth every day, if you don't eat salt, you will be weak, and you will even die."

"Once there is a shortage of salt, it will inevitably cause panic in the stage, and if you are not careful, it will cause a shock to the foundation of the country, and if someone gets in the way and disturbs the salt, even the regime of the whole country may change."

"Father-in-law, do you say that this kind of thing that involves the foundation of the country, will the imperial court rest assured that it will be handed over to us ordinary people to operate?"

"Look at the salt and iron business now, the famous families are the government officials, do you have the shadow of a small family? What about us? ”

"Father-in-law, we can't afford this kind of thing, let alone ..... To put it mildly, let's get along with the old birthday star hanging, it's a long life! ”

At this time, Li Shimin on the side couldn't stop nodding, his eyes were in a daze, and his heart was shocked.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how could he not understand the powerful relationship between salt and iron, but listening to what Qin Shou said today, his mind fell into contemplation again.

Salt and iron are not ordinary fears, once something happens, it will lead to social unrest, and the people who accumulate a lot of wealth through the sale of illicit salt often become the perishes of a dynasty.

But the reality is that these businesses are more monopolized by the wealthy families, and the proportion of the imperial court is much less.

It is precisely because of the monopoly of the major wealthy nobles that the price is of poor quality, which also leads to the fact that the traffickers of illicit salt are always unclean.

Let them hold the salt and iron business firmly in their hands, how can he, the emperor, feel at ease?

Originally, Li Shimin came to Qin Shou with such a meaning, seeing that Qin Shou was unwilling, he had lost interest in the salt business.

But when Qin Shou said this, he suddenly realized that the more this happened, the more he couldn't give up.

Maybe you can use Qin Shou's brain to pry a gap between the salt and iron monopolized by the high gate of the scholar clan, and then slowly figure it out.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and he drank all the wine in his cup.

His eyes became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but admire himself.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin looked at Qin Shou like a torch, and said extremely seriously: "Qin Shou, I think there are many things in life, if you don't try, how do you know that it won't work, don't you say?" If it really happens, will you still be worried about making a fortune? ”

"You're young, and you can't be pedantic, I remember you still saying it...... The clarity of the water lies in the flow, and a pool of stagnant water will become more and more turbid."

“......”

Qin Shou covered his face, his head was big, "Ling'er, you help persuade your father-in-law!" ”

"Qin Shou ......."

Just when Li Shimin was about to persuade Qin Shou again, Gao Yang grabbed him and said eagerly in his ear: "Father, don't talk to him about salt anymore, he has already revealed his stuffing, and he is beginning to doubt." ”

Li Shimin was stunned, "What did he start to suspect?" ”

"I suspect you're not a small landowner......"

Well?

When Li Shimin heard this, his face couldn't help but change wildly, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground with a snap.

Doubting yourself?

Or do you already know who you are?

He pondered for a long time and looked at Qin Shou in surprise.

It just so happened that Qin Shou also looked over, saw his father-in-law's appearance, and said faintly: "Father-in-law, don't look at me like that, is this difficult to guess?" ”

"What is Ling'er's surname, surnamed Li, there are so many relatives in our family, you mentioned the salt business today, you can tell me, is our family also a big family?"

Li Shimin's whole person was stunned, and he didn't react for a long time.

This came too suddenly, and I didn't have any psychological preparation at all, not to mention that I was screaming at my father-in-law just now, how should I get along next?

"Father-in-law, is our family related to the Li family in Longxi or the Li family in Zhaojun?" Qin Shou saw that his father-in-law didn't speak, so he directly broke the way.

Well?

Li Shimin raised his head suddenly, Longxi Li's? Zhao Jun Lee?

His eyes shrank suddenly at this moment, and he glanced at Gao Yang, and the eyes of the two revealed the same meaning: he didn't know.

Li Shimin mentioned the stone in his throat, and suddenly relaxed, he groaned and said: "We should have something to do with the Li clan in Longxi, but at most it is a distant branch, not our own clan." ”

There's nothing wrong with saying this, I think my father used to say this.

"Really?" Qin Shou's eyes widened when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly.

"Good!"

"That's great!"

Qin Shou's face smiled crookedly, even if it was just a branch of the Li family, it would be amazing!

He actually married the daughter of a distant relative of the Li family in Longxi?

Excited!

Amazement!

Stop!

All kinds of emotions, and so on.

Nima, you have a backer!

This soft rice is worth it!

Li Shimin and Gao Yang couldn't help but be a little speechless when they looked at Qin Shou's happy appearance.

That's it, aren't you excited?

If we knew the truth, wouldn't we be going to heaven?

Qin Shou was still pacing back and forth excitedly, and the light in his eyes was bright.

After a while, he was excited before he grinned and said to Li Shimin: "Father-in-law, you should have told me earlier, we can try the salt!" ”

"In terms of relationship, you go to your own clan to walk around more, even if people eat meat, we can drink soup, this thing anyway, we can make money, safety first"

"As for dividends, what kind of brothers settle accounts, let's talk about the shares, let's talk about the shares, we will open four or six, I will take out the technology, responsible for refining refined salt, and the remaining sixty percent will go to your father-in-law and your own clan, how to divide it you look at."
