Hearing Li Shimin's words, Wang Xuan suddenly had the urge to beat him, but in the end, he held back after thinking about it, and went out to call someone to go to the kitchen to let Ruping serve the food.

In fact, Wang Xuan will use the topic like this today, and even go so far as to talk to Li Shimin about this man and woman with his daughter-in-law.

This is not to say that Wang Xuan's brain is in water, but he doesn't want Li Shimin to come out in the future and achieve the prestige of the empress.

You must know that in later generations, Wang Xuan has heard a lot of women, and he is comforting and motivating himself with such a sentence, saying that to be a woman, you have to be Wu Zetian, and if a man is obedient, he will keep it, and if he is disobedient, he will die directly.

And this is the man who made Wu Zetian, isn't it the emperor in front of him who completely let himself go after his wife's death!

So in order not to have such a thing, Wang Xuan said so much to Li Shimin, so that he would care more about the women he was now caring about.

Although many of these women are political marriages, it is undeniable that they all have their own outstanding side, after all, people who can become emperor's women can't do it without some ability.

Of course, this is also Wang Xuan's backhand in advance, after all, now that he, who should not have appeared, has appeared, and has brought so many good things, and changed a lot of things, history has long been developing in a direction that Wang Xuan does not know, and maybe what he was worried about will not happen at all.

But in line with the idea of what if, Wang Xuan still came to such a hand, as for whether to use it or not, then let's talk about it then!

"Okay, you Wang Xuan, it seems that you kid, there are still a lot of good things in your hands! said how could there be such a big shrimp in this dumpling, and it didn't look like it was soaked in dry goods at all! Li Shimin didn't know what Wang Xuan thought, after he ate a bite of seafood dumplings now, he saw the pink prawns inside, and asked Wang Xuan with a smile.

"Brother, you really don't know anything, what do you think I'm doing when I open so many restaurants, isn't that just to open up the circulation of materials in various places? Don't look at you as the emperor, you can mobilize materials from all over the world, but if you really want to do that, this will say that you are for the prosperity of the Tang economy, and you won't say it, then you will say that you are a faint king, and you only know pleasure, but I am different, no matter what I do, no one will say about me, do you know why? Looking at Li Shimin's appearance, Wang Xuan said to him with a smile.

"What else can't be said here, why do I want to eat well, and I will become a faint king" was asked by Wang Xuan, Li Shimin also looked at Wang Xuan very puzzled and asked.

"The most fundamental reason for this is that what I want to eat, from the place of origin to Chang'an, I have spent money, and just because I have a good mouthful, I may provide a job that can support a family for many people in the line from the place of origin to Chang'an, such as this prawn, from Langya being fishermen to the sea to catch land, and then someone from Langya to Chang'an, the fishermen of Langya have benefited, and the people along the way will also benefit because of the passage of the caravan, even this caravan can also benefit, brother, Tell me how many people will benefit from this portion of prawns.

And if you want to eat, then the situation is different, because you are the emperor, if you want to eat, it will definitely not cost money, and even if you spend money, those officials under your command will be removed in various names and turned into tribute, then only those officials will benefit, and the people will not have the slightest benefit.

So with that said, you get the idea! Wang Xuan looked at Li Shimin like this, explained to him, and gave him a brief explanation of the liquidity of commerce.

"That's what you say, that's true, but I'm asking you how you got this prawn from so far away, and it's not corrupt! You must know that this prawn can't be eaten for less than a day out at sea, how the hell did you get it! Instead of asking you, this business matter" Li Shimin looked at Wang Xuan and questioned him.

"You just don't recognize the benefits of this business, you say that you will die if you raise the status of the businessman! As for how these prawns came here, of course, they were transported at low temperature with ice cubes throughout the whole process! You think I came up with the saltpeter ice method, just to cool down and eat ice in the summer! This chilled transportation is my ultimate goal, with this technology, I can sit at home in Chang'an, and I can also eat fresh fruits and sea fish from all over the world," Wang Xuan first glanced at Li Shimin with disdain, and then said to Li Shimin in a hurry.

"In the end, you kid is still here to eat, but if you do this, it can indeed make the materials circulate in various places, and it can also make people have more choices, but for you to improve the status of merchants, this matter is not yet time, this is at least until the family is destroyed, and the corresponding laws are introduced, it is not possible to do this, rashly elevating the status of businessmen, it is not beneficial to anyone" Li Shimin heard Wang Xuan's words, first ate a bite of dumplings, and then said to Wang Xuan.

When Wang Xuan heard what Li Shimin said, he thought about it and nodded in agreement, this is indeed as Li Shimin said, this rashly elevating the status of a businessman is indeed not a good thing.

But he also knew from Li Shimin's words that he recognized what Wang Xuan was doing now, and with this, it would be a good thing for Wang Xuan.

After all, he is doing this business now, and as he said, because with this saltpeter ice, he can transport good things from all over the world to where they are needed, especially these seafood, which are transported to Chang'an, and the price is definitely not low.

It's just that he hasn't sold it in the restaurant yet, one is that the inventory is insufficient now, and the other is that he still wants to wait, and when the weather is hot, it is best to enter July and August, when these seafood are on the market, it is a sensational event!

Of course, he clearly knows that the second year of Zhenguan is a year of many disasters and difficulties for the Tang Dynasty, first there was a locust plague, then the Turks harassed the Tang border, and finally invaded the Tang Dynasty strongly, all the way to the Weishui River, less than forty miles away from Chang'an.

If he sells expensive seafood at this time, his reputation will not be bad, so he will have to wait until the locust plague has passed.

At the same time, this locust plague will also be the best time for him to recruit soldiers, otherwise do you think that after he Wang Xuan got the power to levy private soldiers, why did he keep delaying without conscription, isn't that waiting for the locust plague to break out, he may get a better source of soldiers? .

As for why Wang Xuan knew that there would be a locust plague and did nothing, he knew, but he didn't know how to say it, and even if he said it, a few people believed it, even if some people believed it, how would he explain why he knew about it, so he didn't say anything in the end.
