If it was really as Li Zheng said, Li Tai would not be so disappointed in his heart.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is really as Li Zheng said, whether it is Yang Yong, the crown prince of the former Sui or the previous Li Jiancheng, the end is not very good.

It just so happened that these two princes were assisted by Li Gang.

Thinking about it like this, Li Tai was not so lost in his heart.

Life seems to be full of hope and sunshine again.

Let Li Gang stay by the prince's side.

Li Ke walked over and said, "A team of soldiers and horses came from the DPRK and said they wanted to see you. ”

"See me?" Li Zheng stopped grinding peppers.

Li Ke still nodded, "This army brought some things over, wrapped in black cloth, and I don't know what it is?" ”

He handed the small grinding disc in his hand to Li Tai and asked him to continue grinding the chili peppers.

Li Zheng washed his hands and hurried to the entrance of the village.

An army of 5,000 stood outside the village, along with eunuchs dressed in palace uniforms.

The leader of the general walked up to Li Zheng and said, "County Marquis, this is what Your Majesty asked me to hand over to you." ”

"What's that?" Li Zheng looked at the things wrapped in black cloth.

"Your Majesty explained, there will be a steady stream of deliveries in the future, and please prepare for the county marquis as soon as possible."

With that, the five thousand soldiers turned around and left in unison.

Only these ten or so eunuchs remained.

Li Zheng was still stunned and didn't come back to his senses, looked at these eunuchs and said, "Why don't you leave." ”

These eunuchs smiled and said, "Your Majesty has a will, let us help the county Hou." ”

When I opened the corner of the black cloth and looked closely, it turned out to be huge white crystals.

The eunuch said, "County marquis, these are salt mines. ”

The color is a little yellow, and there are many impurities in it, which should be the silver ore sent from Qinghai Lake.

Now I understand everything, and then look at these eunuchs.

Staring at me, staring at me, and saying to help me?

Don't you just refine a fine salt, Li Shimin is still afraid that I won't cut corners?

Li Zheng beckoned to Li Ke and said, "Pull all these things into Princess Changle's fiefdom." ”

Li Ke beckoned the guards in the village to do something, and all the sixteen carts of heavy things were pulled away.

These are natural salt mines, Datang has coarse salt, but there is very little fine salt, even fine salt is a patent that can only be enjoyed by powerful royals.

This kind of salt mine is also called green salt, it is easy to make stomach trouble when eaten directly, and there are many impurities in it, which need to be refined before it can be eaten.

Li Zheng asked Li Ke to circle a place to refine fine salt.

The eunuch in the palace said to Li Zheng: "County Hou, let's do the next thing, don't bother outsiders." ”

Li Zheng pointed at Li Ke and said, "He is His Royal Highness the King of Shu, not an outsider." ”

"Your Majesty has a will, so you can only let the county wait do it with us."

Li Ke had no choice but to leave, and said to Li Zheng before leaving: "I have seen these eunuchs, and they are all cronies of my father. ”

A field was fenced and a simple greenhouse was built.

The eunuch dressed in a black inner service robe smiled and said, "County Hou, can we refine fine salt?" ”

Li Zheng dipped his fingers in some crushed salt mines, tasted them and spit them out.

These salts are bitter and astringent, and there are too many impurities in them.

Li Zheng said: "How can it be so easy to refine fine salt, do you think I can spell?" Say refinement, refinement. ”

Coarse salt is still cheap in the market, but there are many people who can't afford it, and fine salt is even more expensive.

Even ordinary elites can't afford to use fine salt, and there is a saying that fine salt is comparable to gold.

To refine fine salt, the first thing to do is to remove impurities, and Li Zheng wrote down what should be needed for this eunuch to procure.

The eunuch took the thing in his hand and looked at what was written on it.

"These things are all used by me to refine fine salt, and everything that is not bad is left to me." Li Zheng spoke.

The eunuch looked at what was written on it and was a little puzzled: "What does the county marquis want to do with fifty cauldrons?" ”

"If you want to refine coarse salt into fine salt, the indispensable step is to boil salt."

The eunuch nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "There is nothing wrong with the rest, but the old slave doesn't understand why the county marquis still needs so many snacks and dried fruits, and he also needs 3,000 silk cloths, 30 sows, 40 hens, and ...... wolfberries?" ”

The old eunuch gasped, "This ......"

Li Zheng said: "These are all needed to refine fine salt. ”

The old eunuch said, "But this ......"

"I'll tell you, if it's the same, I can't refine this fine salt."

The old eunuch had no choice but to nod, left in a hurry, came to the Lizheng Palace, and handed over Li Zheng's requests to Li Shimin.

Looking at the above content, Li Shimin also felt very outrageous, what is the matter with refining fine salt sows?

The old eunuch said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the county marquis said that you can't refine it without a fine salt." ”

Li Shimin smiled coldly, "Okay, you Li Zheng!" You want to take the opportunity to knock me out, don't you? ”

Li Lizhen, who was standing behind Li Shimin, glanced at it quietly and couldn't help laughing.

Empress Eldest Sun glanced at it and said with a smile: "This Li Zheng is very real. ”

"How's it going?"

Li Shimin was so angry that his teeth itched, "I still don't believe it, except for him Li Zheng, no one has been able to refine fine salt?" ”

But when I calm down and think about it, it doesn't seem right.

Most of today's fine salt is refined by the seaside scholars, especially the Shandong scholars who rely on the sea.

They can refine fine salt from sea salt.

There is very little fine salt in the whole Guanzhong.

It seems that there is really no one except Li Zheng.

Li Shimin took the case, and suddenly didn't want to refine fine salt.

You don't live well without fine salt.

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but smile and said, "Li Zheng didn't ask for gold and silver money. ”

Li Shimin said angrily: "If it were someone else, he would have been slaughtered eight hundred times ago." ”

Li Zheng seems to be testing Li Shimin's bottom line again and again.

Li Shimin suddenly discovered that Li Zheng, a kid, could live under his nose for so long It was a miracle.

Putting away this list, Li Shimin said: "Li Zheng should give him everything he wants, if he can't get the fine salt, I will deal with him by military law." ”

Li Lizhi asked in a low voice: "Father, what kind of military law?" ”

Li Shimin said: "Li is the lieutenant general of the Longwu Army, and if he can't make fine salt, of course he must be dealt with by military law!" ”

Seeing Li Li's worried expression.

When her daughter is older, she can't keep it, and even her own daughter is on Li Zheng's side.

Li Shimin walked out of the Lizheng Hall in a huff, playing Tai Chi to try to suppress his anger.

Refining fine salt requires many steps.

Li Zheng was busy mashing the salt ore and putting it in water to dissolve.

After one bucket of water is saturated, change to another bucket of water and dissolve until it is saturated.

Insoluble in water are impurities.

This is the first step in removing impurities.

The palace sent everything Li Zheng needed, and it only took half a day.

The ability and efficiency of the palace are still good.
