Li Shimin asked Zhang Ruoxu to elaborate on the salt drying method again.

The dukes present were all henchmen of the emperor.

Take a closer look.

There was no Wei Zheng among these people.

It seems that the emperor still doesn't trust Wei Zheng.

"Ladies and gentlemen, can this method be done?"

Li Shimin sat at the desk and looked at the ministers.

Smiling.

"Your Majesty, the water in the rivers and ponds dries up in times of great drought because the sun has dried up the water on the ground." Gao Shilian stood up, looked at the head, and said: "This method can make my Datang profit of tens of millions and fill the inner house." ”

"It's just ......," a hint of worry flashed across Gao Shilian's face.

"Just what? Uncle can speak. Li Shimin said with a smile.

For this old man who raised the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson queen, Li Shimin still respects him very much.

Not to mention that this old man has always been on his side.

"Your Majesty, the five surnames and seven wangs have controlled the salt road and sold illegal salt for hundreds of years, if the imperial court makes these sea salts, I am afraid that they will not be reconciled." Gao Shilian said.

The family is still very strong.

After all, in this era, those who can read are basically people from families.

As for ordinary people, they can't eat enough, let alone study, and many people can't even write their names.

Even if you have money, you can't hire anyone to teach.

As for the children of the poor family...... I have to say that the common people are not poor children.

The children of the poor family were officials from their parents and grandparents, and they were originally scholars, but in their generation they declined and became poor.

However, he is still a reader.

At least all of them are of the small landlord class.

As long as one or two generations have turned over, they will immediately return to the ranks of the nobles.

The ancient Jiupin Zhongzheng system pushed the scholar clan to the top.

"Your Majesty, it is true." The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will be opposed by the family headed by the five surnames and Qiwang." ”

"Against?" Li Shimin showed a trace of disdain on his face and said: "I want to be the emperor, and they are also against it!" But I'm still the Emperor! ”

"These five surnames and seven wangs rely on the prestige of their family power, and they have always liked to oppose me, if it weren't for the fact that Datang needs these people to help govern the world...... Hum! ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Li Shimin was very annoyed.

Since Li Shimin became the emperor, he wanted to win over the five surnamed Qiwang families.

As a result, these people did not like Li Shimin at all, and also said that women in the family did not marry Li Shimin, and men did not marry women in Li Shimin's lineage.

Isn't this Chi Guoguo's slap in Li Shimin's face?

Therefore, Li Shimin is quite unhappy with the five surnames and seven hopes.

"Uncle, the auxiliary machine, your worries, etc., now there is a way to solve it." Li Shimin's face showed a hint of joy.

"Oh? And how? Gao Shilian asked, looking puzzled.

Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Zhang Ruoxu.

Zhang Ruoxu hurriedly stood up: "It's movable type printing, which turns copper into ......"

Zhang Ruoxu said movable type printing and punctuation together.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

"If this movable type printing technology can be popularized, there will inevitably be more books in the world, and when the time comes, the world will be poor, and there will be no fear of no books to read." The eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, my eldest grandson is willing to assist Your Majesty in popularizing movable type printing. ”

"Your Majesty, my Gaoshi clan also has a lot of books, and I am willing to use movable type printing to print this book, which is a matter for the benefit of the country and the people, how can I Gaoshi lag behind others?"

"That's right, this printing technology, should be promoted! As for this punctuation mark, Your Majesty, although this thing is good, it may not be accepted by the people of the world. ”

"No, no, punctuation marks can make people understand the meaning of a sentence more clearly, and I think the literati of the Tang Dynasty will soon be eager for it."

"I didn't expect that Gao Yangzi would have this magic skill."

"It seems that the teacher of Gaoyang County is really a god!"

“……”

The people present nodded their heads one after another.

Most of the books of this era were woodblock printing.

Others were copied directly by themselves.

Books before the Tang Dynasty were basically handwritten.

Block printing has only been around for a few years.

This movable type printing technology was first popularized among Li Shimin's henchmen, which allowed these people to make a small profit.

In this day and age, books are expensive.

"Hahaha......" Li Shimin seemed very happy: "I have this intention, your collection of books at home, but it should be printed and promoted, the collection of books in the palace, also copied and promoted, with your help, I think in the future will definitely be able to weaken the power of the five surnames and seven hopes!" ”

There were smiles on everyone's faces.

"Zhang Ruoxu, you have dedicated the three methods, you have merit, what reward do you want?" Li Shimin looked at Zhang Ruoxu and asked.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty is rich all over the world and is the richest person in the world." Zhang Ruoxu showed a flattering smile on his face: "I'm a person who likes gold." ”

"Do you think you can give me eighteen thousand taels of gold? I'm not greedy, just tens of thousands of taels, tens of thousands of taels. Zhang Ruoxu is looking forward to it.

What is possible?

Will the emperor have no money?

Emperor, that's the richest, isn't it?

However.

As soon as Zhang Ruoxu's words fell, everyone present couldn't help but stop laughing, and then looked at Zhang Ruoxu.

"Loyalty, I see that you are honest and loyal, I didn't expect that you would tell jokes." Li Shimin stroked the beard and said with a smile.

The ancients had beards, and the length of the beard was beautiful.

History records that Li Shimin's beard was large and long, and he could hang a bow.

Of course, Li Shimin, who is now in his thirties, has a big beard, but he is not the biggest.

"Your Majesty, I'm really not kidding, I just like gold, gold." Zhang Ruoxu said.

Who was kidding you? I'm just here to pan for gold in Datang, not to be an official for you natives, okay?

"Gaoyang County has meritorious service in offering three treasures, and renamed Gaoyang County as Gaoyang County Bo, eating 700 households and 3,000 acres of fertile land." Li Shimin said with a slight smile.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Gongjin hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Hongen." ”

"Zhonghou, what else are you doing? Thank you. Zhang Gongjin glared at his nephew fiercely and said.

Don't hurry up yet!

Wait a minute, the eldest grandson Wuji will come out again!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Ruoxu was very helpless.

Originally, there was not much hope, but now I am even more disappointed.

"As for the method of making salt, I think that it can be organized by the internal government and all households to jointly develop sea salt, so that the people of Datang can use Shanghai salt as soon as possible!" Li Shimin said.

“……”

The ministers were very happy.

Because, they are able to participate in it.

It's all money!

The prosperity of a family, in addition to power, also has money!
