Chapter 268: Immediately blushing
"Your caravan has helped the king this time, I heard that you want to do some business, if you need help, but it doesn't hurt to say it, but there is one thing you have to remember, critical supplies cannot be sold to the enemy."
Yang Lin looked at Li De solemnly and admonished.
Li De instantly felt the oppression of the atmosphere, as if he was being targeted by a beast, which made people shudder.
"The younger generation must follow the prince's warning, this time it is a new type of refined salt, I don't know if the prince is willing to buy it." Li De asked suddenly.
Yang Lin had already heard the Lord of Yujun say this, and thinking that he was still planning to turn a blind eye and let Li De disperse the goods, but now he actually mentioned it directly in front of him.
If you say something explicitly, it will change its taste, and talking about things that are strictly forbidden is not looking for something.
Yang Lin's face was a little displeased, and he felt that Li De was a little bit inched.
"The imperial court strictly prohibits merchants from selling salt, iron and other goods without permission, do you know that with what you just said, this king can ask someone to take you back to Chang'an to ask for guilt, if there is salt sold outside the border pass, it is ironclad evidence of treason against the enemy, no matter who you are, this king can behead you."
Yang Lin's serious and fiery temper immediately erupted, and the momentum was very scary.
When the Yujun Lord saw it, he was in a cold sweat.
"Father, calm your anger."
Li De is very glad that the king of the backer is not a capricious person, but a person who pays great attention to principles, and it is good to deal with such people directly according to the principles.
"The prince really misunderstood, although I sold this salt privately." Li De calmly took out a certificate of salt tax, he had already considered this matter, so he had already opened a salt shop when the salt mine was being built.
It's just that his salt shop hasn't really opened yet, but the formalities are complete.
The documents are complete, and no one can jump out of the problem.
The king of the backer took Li De's book and looked at it carefully, and then let the lord of Yujun read it again, before he slowed down his tone and said, "Since you are a serious seller, why are you so sneaky." ”
Businessmen must have some of their own means to do business, Yang Lin asked this is actually redundant, but his temper just now was not controlled, and now it is just to ease the atmosphere.
"Could it be that you want to be a profiteer, and there is a problem with the salt of the caravan?" Lord Jade questioned.
"Lord Yujun can't wronged people, there is no problem with salt, but it is a little different from ordinary salt." Li De explained.
"You also said that you are not a profiteer, isn't the salt the same, could it be that you are selling poisonous salt?" The Jade County Lord asked coldly.
Yang Lin's face was also cold.
Li De took out the small bag hanging from his belt and said: "This is the new refined salt I want to sell, healthy salt, which is non-toxic but more fine and clean than the salt on the market now." ”
Lord Yujun opened the bag and felt the fine salt, snow-white, delicate, except for the salty taste, there was no extra strange taste, she couldn't believe that the bag was salt.
"Father-in-law."
Lord Jade handed the salt bag to Yang Lin, and then saw that both of them had the same surprised expressions.
Li De knew, but anyone who saw such fine salt would be shocked.
If you want to ask him why he didn't sell it in Chang'an City, it was simply said that the husband was not guilty of his crimes, Yang Guangke was not as good at talking as Li Shimin, even if he was replaced by Li Yuan.
If he wants to make a profit from his salt mine without being remembered, he needs to make some packaging, and sell the salt to the border gate enough for the merchants here to digest.
The most lacking thing now is money, the money he raised was sent to Chang'an so that he could transport the silver, and now the soldiers and horses in the northwest are regarded as dead by the imperial court, so that the border war will make the life of the people in the border pass more difficult.
No matter how powerful Yang Lin is, he can't do anything if he is restrained, and he is not at the mercy of his nephew emperor.
Li De's salt was taken over by the Northwest soldiers, and their food and salary would naturally be earned, and his requirement was to have a strong backer.
To say that the current Yang Lin is not a threat to Yang Guang at all, even if the king wants to cover the Li family, it is beyond the reach of the whip, and when it is really red-eyed, who will give you the face of the prince.
But with the backer of the salt business, the king is different, and after solving the salary, I am afraid that the nephew emperor is still a nephew.
"You say this is a new type of fine salt, how much more does it cost?"
Yang Lin quickly calmed down, he was very principled, even if his brother Emperor Wen of Sui asked him to take out the Northwest soldiers, he would do it.
Seeing the snow-white fine salt, he realized that the price would definitely be too high, and Li De's purpose was too simple to make huge profits through his hands, and at the same time he could get out of the current predicament.
But he took into account that if he did it at this time, he would definitely be suspicious of his nephew emperor, and he didn't know what the consequences would be.
The hijacking of the silver in Chang'an City was an arrow.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, no one is a fool.
Yang Lin doesn't like officialdom, his mission is to defend the border passes of the Sui Dynasty and stabilize the rule of the Sui State.
"The prince will purchase it at the market price of ordinary salt." Li Dedao.
Yang Lin was also a little unable to sit still after calmly listening to this price, although he was not a businessman, he knew that the fine salt in his hand could definitely raise twice the price once he made a sale.
If it is changed to Luoyang, Chang'an, it is not difficult to sell it at three times the price.
"Are you serious?" Yang Lin asked solemnly.
"Of course, but the processing process of West Salt is complicated, and the output will not be too much." Li Dedao.
Yang Lin thought about it, in this case, it is okay to directly increase the price of fine salt by five times, and the lack of production is the key.
Li De said this deliberately, why should I take out my own cake to share and I don't have a good friend for my birthday, if I give it to Yang Guang in exchange for benefits, don't make trouble, it's not a business to get into the tiger's mouth.
Even if this salt-making law can really benefit the people, in the absence of a correct system, it will be in vain.
The emperor is not able to achieve everything he wants to do.
Yang Lin was silent for a while before he said, "What do you want?" ”
Li De knew that his goal had basically been achieved, and the next thing was simple, and the two of them went directly from the living room to the study for a secret conversation.
Lord Yujun was a little depressed, and said that there was something she couldn't know, so she was alone in the courtyard in a daze.
After a long time, Li De came out of the study with a smile on his face.
"Li Gongzi, what did you tell your father-in-law?" Lord Jade asked curiously.
"Can I not say it?" Li De laughed.
The Jade County Lord was speechless for a while, and Li De's way of speaking was always unexpected, and he was wrapped around when he couldn't react.
"If you don't say it, you don't say it, who rarely listens to it." The Jade County Lord said coquettishly.
"Yo, has anyone told you that your hypocritical appearance is quite cute." Li De said suddenly.
"What to say, what cute." The Jade County Lord immediately blushed.
