Chapter 305: Nationalization
"You're so beautiful that you almost turned my salt mine yellow."
Li Er has never doubted this kid's methods, but before this kid comes up with a reasonable explanation, he will definitely not give Zhao Yin the slightest good look.
"Father-in-law's words are wrong! When the son-in-law said slowly, His Majesty now only needs to issue an order to put salt mining under the state, and all businesses can only come to the imperial court to purchase and retail, and no one is allowed to mine privately, otherwise, it will be a protest against the decree, and in this way, our salt industry in Datang will also be owned by His Majesty. ”
Zhao Yin showed a gloating smile and gave Li Er a bad idea.
What can the seven families do if they buy it? No matter how thick his arms are, he can't twist his thighs, right?
If you resist the decree, then you can personally lead the troops and level the seven families.
"Nationalize salt mining?"
The anger on Li Er's cheeks dissipated little by little, and he asked with some uncertainty.
"Father-in-law, salt, grain, paper, and wine used to be monopolized by the seven major families, but now, these are all operated by my Datang, and I don't need to worry about someone raising prices and making the people suffer! Therefore, even if we forcibly take back the salt mine, the seven major families will be staring dryly! ”
Zhao Yin was very confident in his plan, so he didn't have any psychological pressure at all.
"Wonderful, really wonderful! The minister raised his hands in agreement! ”
"The minister agrees too!"
Wei Chigong, who was originally very worried, suddenly showed excitement on his cheeks after listening to Zhao Yin's words.
The colt is really a colt, even if he sells things to others, he has to be calculated to death by others, and he really feels sad for the people of the seven families.
The eldest grandson Wuji also blushed excitedly on the side, and almost came over to hug Zhao Yin and kiss him fiercely.
"That's it! I'm going to make an order, and I'm going to see if they dare to resist it!" ”
Li Er glanced at Zhao Yin deeply.
Fortunately, this is his son-in-law, if he becomes an enemy, he will definitely be a nightmare for Datang.
"Wang De, you also heard the matter, notify the province of Menxia, let them draw up the decree, and then send it to the counties and counties, and do it quickly, hahaha!"
Li Er waved his hand at the old eunuch behind him, and couldn't help laughing.
This time, the Seven Great Families fell into the trap of this kid again, and they just took this opportunity to test the reaction of the Seven Great Families.
"Yes!"
After Wang De received the order, he hurriedly ran out.
"You kid sold my salt mine to the Seven Great Families, you have to give me an explanation!"
made it clear that these things were designed by this kid, and he was used as a gun by this kid again, if he didn't understand it thoroughly, his heart was really uncomfortable.
And he also knows that this kid relied on these salt mines to pit one million taels of the seven major families, and there are also salt mines to sell to himself, and now it is clear that this kid broke the contract, so Gao Gao also has to extort a sum of money from him.
Especially now that the relationship between the three countries is so tense, there is no telling if a war will break out one day, so Datang is now in urgent need of silver.
"The son-in-law is to take advantage of the fact that the salt mine is not state-owned, and first pit a sum of money from the seven major families, so that some of the son-in-law's projects can be developed!"
Zhao Yin said righteously.
"Strong Words ...... Reason"
The corners of Li Er's mouth were constantly twitching, the emotional benefits were all given to this bastard, and the bad reputation was burdened by himself, as if he should be grateful to Dade.
"I heard that these salt mines, you sold them for a million taels?"
There's no point in bothering about that topic, just putting the goal on the silver can be somewhat rewarding.
"That's right, in order to share His Majesty's worries, these Qian sons-in-law plan to set up a school and develop thermal weapons!"
Zhao Yin didn't hide it, shrugged his shoulders directly, and found a very legitimate reason.
After so many rounds of fighting wits and courage with him, how slamming this old man is, he knows it, so he simply opened his mouth and blocked his mouth directly.
"What is a thermal weapon? Tell me about it! ”
After Li Er heard this new word, he asked curiously.
"It's a weapon similar to artillery, it's a weapon that can only be used by relying on ** cooperation, I call such weapons hot weapons, as for those, swords, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, etc., I call them cold weapons, because the power of cold weapons is far inferior to hot weapons, so I have to study this, once successful, this world will always be Datang."
The study of these things is only a matter of time or time, and I don't mind saying it now, so that they can understand it a little.
"So, if you use this money for research on thermal weapons?"
Li Er looked at him with interest.
The artillery that this kid just made is already infinitely powerful, if he researches other weapons, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?
"That's right, when the artillery technology matures, the son-in-law also plans to study the musket, **, ** and other weapons, and the research of each weapon needs to cost a lot of money, but the son-in-law knows His Majesty's difficulties, so he didn't talk to his father-in-law, but got a sum of money from the seven major families!"
Li Er's words are inseparable from the word silver, in order to dispel the thoughts of this old man, he began to directly sketch a beautiful blueprint for Datang.
The one million taels of congratulatory gift money on the wedding day has been run away by this old goods, and this million taels cannot be taken away by him.
"I see, you kid did this job beautifully, even if you let it go, if there is any difficulty, you can ...... it at any time"
Hearing that this money was actually used here, Li Er was immediately overjoyed, and he didn't care about blackmail, and was even ready to make a promise.
"Thank you, father-in-law, it just so happens that my son-in-law has one more thing to report!"
Seeing that the attention of this old man had finally shifted, Zhao Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Stop......! I'm not done yet, as long as it's not a problem with money, I'll help you solve it. ”
Li Er couldn't wait to give himself a slap, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he didn't know how much he would lose.
"Father-in-law, is your son-in-law that kind of person in your eyes? It's really chilling for the little son-in-law, this is the roadmap of the onset of the plot between Goguryeo and Tubo......"
Zhao Yin looked aggrieved, and hurriedly took out a hand-drawn map on his chest and gently placed it on the table.
"Roadmap?"
After hearing his words, Li Er's gaze fell coldly on the map, which clearly depicted the location of each city, as well as a few arrows marked with notice!
"Your Majesty doesn't know, the son-in-law has used the throne as a bait to bribe the prince of Baekje, Ueno Fuji, and let him be our internal response, as long as there is information about Goguryeo and Tubo, send it to me as soon as possible, and in the future, after he sits on the throne of Baekje, he will also submit to my Tang Dynasty and be a vassal state of my Tang Dynasty!"
Zhao Yin said lightly.
