"It's all because of salt!"

Li Shimin was puzzled, what is the matter with salt.

Why salt? And nothing else.

He was also puzzled.

"Oh? What's the matter with salt? ”

"Father, please look here!"

Li Chengqian pointed to the salt on the side and said.

Li Shimin took a look.

Then the expression on his face became extremely exciting.

Because in front of him was a very crystal clear pile of salt, like a work of art.

This lies in antiquity, but there is none.

If there is, it is very rare, and ordinary people have basically no chance to see it in their lives.

As the emperor, Li Shimin is probably rarely seen, right?

"This salt? It's really for the best quality! Where did you come from? ”

Li Shimin knows that this salt is of the highest quality, let alone everyone?

Empress Changsun understood what Li Chengqian meant, and she said: "What Qian'er said has never been bitter, it is because of the use of high-grade salt!" No wonder it's so different from what we usually eat, it turns out that the key is salt! With this salt, are you worried that you can't cook good dishes? ”

Of course, the quality of salt is good, that is only a high starting point, whether the dish is good or not, it depends on the matching, but also depends on the individual.

You don't have good salt to make good dishes.

It's like giving you a good weapon, if you don't know how to use it, then it's also a blind weapon, and there is no such thing.

Si Shan interjected at this time: "This salt was made by His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

When his words came out, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were both stunned.

They thought that the salt was bought from outside, otherwise how could there be such a high-quality salt.

It was only when Si Shan said this that they realized that they were wrong.

At the same time, it was unexpected, it was actually created by Li Chengqian.

That's amazing, isn't it?

How old is Li Chengqian, and he has such skills?

Then Li Shimin asked: "How was that made?" Si Shan, you can talk about it! ”

Si Shan began to tell what had just happened.

The more I talk about it, the more surprising it becomes.

When he finished speaking, the two couples were already shocked.

"Unexpectedly, this is also possible, if this method is vigorously promoted in the future, then the entire Datang people will eat good salt! Only when you eat well can you do a good job, and my Datang will be more energetic! Why not be strong? ”

Li Shimin said.

That's probably what he had in mind.

Li Chengqian, however, has a different view.

"Father, there's not a way to do it!"

Li Chengqian's words directly poured cold water on Li Shimin's face.

In his words, he was a little bit saying that Li Shimin was too taken for granted.

Li Shimin was naturally not happy to be corrected.

If it weren't for Li Chengqian, he would probably be angry.

Finally, he patiently lowered his voice and asked, "Do you have an idea to hear what you mean?" What do you think?"

Empress Changsun knew that things might not end well.

Hurriedly snorted.

"Your Majesty, Qian'er offended you on a whim, he didn't do it on purpose! And he's a kid! ”

Li Chengqian was speechless, what kind of offense is this? Although he is a child on the surface, his soul is already an adult.

Isn't it okay to be clear?

So does Li Shimin have a glass heart?

Wu Zetian also wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it, after all, she was light-hearted.

Even if she paid the price of her life, it was impossible to influence Li Shimin's thoughts.

But in Li Chengqian's opinion, he doesn't care so much, and at this time, he will definitely say it no matter what.

Therefore, he said: "Father, all this has to start from the root. ”

"Oh?"

"There are two main reasons, big and small!"

When Li Chengqian said this, Li Shimin was patient and wanted to listen to it.

"Tell me about it!"

Then he found a place and sat down.

He wanted to hear what Li Chengqian was going to say next.

Empress Eldest Sun also seemed to want to say something.

was pulled by Li Chengqian.

"Queen Mother, you also sit and listen to what your sons say!"

He said so, what else can Empress Eldest Sun say?

So, the two sat down and listened to Li Chengqian's story.

Then Li Chengqian started with the Wang family.

"All this, in small aspects, starts from the place where salt is produced, as far as Erchen knows, seven or eight out of ten salt is in the hands of the Wang family. At the same time, over the years, their purification of salt has been stuck hundreds of years ago, this kind of inaction has caused the salt eaten by the people to be bitter and astringent, and at the same time it is the same situation in the palace, which can be purified and then offered, but they do not. And because they have a large amount of salt in their hands, even if we have a way, we have to buy salt with them, once the amount is large, they are bound to raise the price, so that the price of refined salt cannot come down at all, so the son said that there is no way to do it. ”

If you say this, Li Shimin can be regarded as understanding.

also expressed affirmation, whoever is reasonable, will naturally listen to him.

Li Shimin is still very good at this, and he will not be too authoritarian.

"Oh? Tell me about the big picture! ”

When Li Chengqian saw that the opportunity had come, he said: "Although salt is small, it has a great effect, and it is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood; if private individuals are allowed to control the salt trade, it is easy to cause adverse effects, which is not conducive to social stability, and if the official control is to stabilize the price of salt, stabilize the market, and stabilize the society!" It can also hold the lifeblood of the economy! to fill the treasury! ”

As soon as Li Chengqian said this, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.

Because he was right.

Yes, that's it, the power of the Wang family is what he criticizes.

Now because of the birth of the general cold cucumber, he has a way to reorganize the Wang family, how could he let it go?

Coupled with Li Chengqian's words, he was relieved.

I can't help but laugh.

"Qian'er, you're right, it's really my son! Hahaha! ”

He swept away the gloom, no longer nervous, replaced by a happy mood.

Wu Zetian was already trembling on the side, and people said that a companion is like a tiger, and that is indeed the case.

Empress Changsun was also relieved, fortunately Li Chengqian corrected it in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

As for Li Chengqian, he said that everything is under my mouth, and it has not been impossible to do it.

He struck while the iron was hot.

"Therefore, Erchen thinks that he can take back the salt power of the Wang family and change it to the official camp, which can not only provide good salt for the people, but also fill the treasury, and also suppress the Wang family, killing three birds with one stone, why not?"

"Good!"

Li Shimin exclaimed with some excitement.

This is still a rare excitement for him.

But the question is, what to do?

So, Li Shimin asked: "So, how do you take away the salt rights of the Wang family?" ”。

Li Chengqian smiled, because he had already had an idea.

And his idea is absolutely perfect.
