The whole shop has gone crazy.

The shopkeeper Li Xiao is already busy with his feet not touching the ground, and he is anxious.

People everywhere come to me to place orders.

Of course, the most excited are Liu San's guys.

Just an hour ago, they were worried about their livelihoods, and now they ...... However, they are full of worries about the instability of the supply of goods.

"Childe is really good, isn't this getting rich with a big guy? Shopkeeper Li, fortunately you stopped me, otherwise if I quit my job, I am afraid that my intestines will be repentant. ”

Liu Sanji looked at Li Xiao gratefully, his eyes were full of tears, and his heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and happiness.

"Now my mother's medicine money is available."

Li Xiao lowered his head and dialed the abacus, just smiled, suddenly his hand was suspended in the air, paused, and thought for a while: "The real benevolent is the son." ”

Liu San thought for a while, and then suddenly realized that his eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, Gongzi first let the big guys work more and get more, and then sell such good salt, isn't this just to bring us rich, Gongzi is kind-hearted and righteous." ”

Liu San said, giving a heartfelt thumbs up.

In fact, it's not just that the store is in a hurry, it's Chen Zhengtai, and now his mind is also on increasing production, but salt refining must be kept secret, and the required manpower has to be selected from the children of the Chen family, and it will take some time to become a journeyman.

This refined white salt sold well, which made Chen Zhengtai breathe a sigh of relief and think of salt, which made Chen Zhengtai think of his teacher's health problems.

A teacher for one day, a father for life.

After all, Chen Zhengtai came from later generations, and unlike the people of this era, he has a certain deep-rooted concept of discipline.

Worship Li Shimin as a teacher, in fact, Chen Zhengtai beats snakes with a stick, he still has some understanding of Tang history, Li Shimin is the kind of person who belongs to the kind of measure of how you jump on weekdays, he has a tolerance measure, of course, the premise is that you must not infringe on his fundamental interests, otherwise, the brothers will turn their faces.

Chen Zhengtai is betting on Li Er, no, it is his dearest and beloved teacher who has this bearing.

The master worshipped, and the raw rice was cooked into cooked rice, at least with this reputation, the biggest crisis of the Chen family's wrong thigh was lifted.

But how to enhance the relationship between teachers and students?

Chen Zhengtai hit the idea on Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhounai is a subordinate servant, and he often has the opportunity to see Li Shimin when he enters and leaves the palace.

Now he is on duty to work and raise pigs, at first he was a little unaccustomed, especially after raising pigs for a long time, there will always be some strange smell in the body, even if it is a bath, it is difficult to wash clean. Every time he was on duty, his colleagues always looked at him with a strange look.

But...... Slowly, I got used to it.

Chen Zhengtai invited him to come, and Ma Zhou sat down.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Mr. Ma......"

"Engong ......" Ma Zhou had just sat down, and when he heard Chen Zhengtai's inquiry, he immediately got up and solemnly bowed to Chen Zhengtai.

Chen Zhengtai hurriedly waved his hand and said seriously: "Don't always come to Engong, you have been living in our Chen family these days, I, Chen Zhengtai, treat you as a relative." ”

Relatives are not the point, you live in our Chen family is.

Ma Zhou couldn't help but be grateful in his heart: "What Engong said is true." ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "My teacher, what have you been doing lately? ”

Ma Zhou's body was shocked, and his old face was slightly red.

To be honest, every time he heard Chen Zhengtai shout out his teacher, he felt weird.

After all, I have been in a small place for a long time, and I have never seen the big world, but now that I have met Engong, I know that there are all kinds of people in the world, and everyone has them.

Ma Zhou stubbornly said: "His Majesty the Emperor is now worried about two things, one of them is that my Tang Dynasty army and horses are conquest of the Liang Division, Engong doesn't know, this Liang Division occupies the land of Hexi, away from my Chang'an, but hundreds of miles, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses, not only for my Tang Dynasty's henchmen, but also because he is neighbors with the Turks, colluding with the Turks, this Hexi is prolific horses, and not far from Guanzhong, once there is something in the Guan, it can threaten Chang'an, if you don't exterminate the Liang Division, Your Majesty will always be in the throat." ”

When Ma Zhou said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, this time the troops were deployed by Li Shimin himself, at this time, the Tang Dynasty was in ruins, and there were not many troops that could be used, Li Shimin's original intention was to give Liang Shidao a heavy blow and recover some states and counties. After all, once the war has been going on for a long time, the Turks see that there is an opportunity, and they will inevitably go south to help Liang Shidao, or attack the Tang Dynasty from other ways.

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say: "Yes, but didn't I tell my master that this battle will soon be a big victory, so why worry about it." ”

Ma Zhou: "......"

He seemed to feel that there was no way to communicate with Chen Zhengtai.

There's a big generation gap.

You say a big win, a big win?

His Majesty the Emperor has been fighting all his life, and there are countless founding generals below, which one is not proficient in military affairs, they are still not sure, where do you get your self-confidence?

Of course, Ma Zhou found that this Engong was used to letting go, so he took a deep breath, calm, had to be self-contained, laughed, knew how to deal with it calmly, and thought more about the benefits of Engong.

So, the corners of Ma Zhou's mouth were slightly hooked, and he pursed his lips, revealing a still kind smile.

"Second, of course, I am still worried about the salt and iron policy, in fact, Your Majesty is not unaware of the current flood of private salt, especially those big families, who occupy the vast majority of salt wells and iron mines, hey...... Engong, before my Tang Dynasty set the world, this Shenzhou has been chaotic for hundreds of years, for hundreds of years, the king and the emperor are like the carp crossing the river, there are not a hundred, there are eighty, because of this, the world has risen up, they control the land of the world, salt and iron, the so-called frozen three feet, not a day's cold, but Your Majesty wants to get rid of this maladministration, how easy is it to talk about? It's just a matter of letting it go, but the treasury is extremely empty, what do I use to help the people, settle the people, and what do I use to recruit brave people and stabilize the country? ”

Chen Zhengtai listened to Ma Zhou's words and suddenly realized.

In fact, in his previous life, he didn't understand why the monopoly of salt and iron that had been implemented since the Han Dynasty had not been implemented in the Tang Dynasty.

Now after listening to Ma Zhou's words, I understand a little, in the final analysis, or after the chaos of China, the world fell apart, and the chaos lasted for hundreds of years, and under this chaos, it will inevitably lead to the rise of a large number of families, after all, when the country can not guarantee the safety of the people, people will subconsciously huddle together, so as to form a close family, and a new regime, if you want to be stable, it is bound to buy these families, and the final result is that the power of the family is getting stronger and stronger, They controlled the land, the population, the salt wells, the mines, the people in the court were officials, and the clan had their own private tribes. And now, although the Tang Dynasty is rising, but what about it, in the face of these countless families, even Li Shimin, they dare not easily recover their wealth, after all, the precedent of the fall of the Sui Dynasty can be described as a lesson from the past, and if it is not good, it may repeat the mistakes of the past.

Chen Zhengtai vaguely remembered that the Tang Dynasty really began to recover private salt wells and iron mines a hundred years later, after going through Li Shimin, Wu Zetian, and until the Tang Xuanzong period, after countless blows to the gate valve, this most important source of wealth was returned to the imperial court.

It is no wonder that Li Shimin is worried about this. Anyway, I'm afraid that something will happen, after all, these people's energy is extremely amazing, and if you leave it alone, you will have endless disasters.

Chen Zhengtai sighed: "It seems that it is really not easy to be an emperor, how can you worry about everything." ”

"Ahem......" Ma Zhou coughed: "Engong said cautiously." ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "What is there to be cautious about, I am a rectum." But you wait and see, Master Liang will definitely lose, and there will be good news in the near future, as for the matter of this salt, maybe there will be eyebrows, by the way, my dearest and beloved teacher......"

"Ahem......" Ma Zhou coughed desperately again.

Chen Zhengtai suspected that this guy had pneumonia and needed to be rescued: "My dear and beloved mentor has been in good health recently, oops...... I have been under his door since I have not visited him again, and I miss him. At the beginning, I never thought that my teacher would actually accept me as an apprentice, which shows that this is fate, the so-called ten years of cultivation to cross the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation to sleep together......"

"I don't know how many years it took to cultivate this teacher-student relationship. Okay, don't talk about these things, I remember my teacher's body very much, I don't know if he has eaten it recently, so let's write a recipe, this recipe is very nourishing, oh, and I have a few catties of rare salt here. You can bring it with you, remember, you must bring it. ”

"This ......" Ma Zhou had a feeling of entering a thief's den, he fought in his heart for a moment, and finally hung his head weakly: "No! ”

Chen Zhengtai took a pen and really wrote a recipe, which was the old fire soup of the Cantonese people in the previous life, wrote the recipe, handed it to Ma Zhou, and told him a thousand times.

Chen Zhengtai is a conscientious person, he finally hugged a thigh, how can he let go, I, Chen Zhengtai, am not bragging, if he Li Er can throw himself away, count me Chen Zhengtai as losing.

Ma Zhou looked helpless, nodded busily, and took the recipe away, as for Chen Zhengtai had to ask Ma Zhou to bring salt, Ma Zhou looked embarrassed, but he had to accept it.

He couldn't understand why Engong was so energetic.

Shaking his head, pinching this recipe, looking at it, I don't know if there is anything wrong, I sighed in my heart, and raised pigs.
