Chapter Seventy-Six: The Great Victory over the Family
"Uncle Bao... It's so late, why are you still here together? ”
In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin met Qin Qiong, Niu Jinda, Wei Chigong, and Cheng Biting Jin, you must know that these four old brothers who were killed from the sea of blood mountains and corpses with Li Shimin.
If it's someone else, forget it... It's so late, Li Shimin will definitely not see it.
"Your Majesty... The four of us are here to solve His Majesty's troubles. Qin Qiong sat on the stool and looked at Li Shimin and smiled slightly.
"Hehe... That's right...! After Qin Qiong finished speaking, Cheng Biting Jin on the side couldn't help but show off: "I heard that Your Majesty has been worrying all this time, and those ministers in the court have no idea one by one, they are really useless, this is not... The four of us came together to solve His Majesty's troubles. ”
"Poof... Ha ha... Ha ha...! Cheng Biting Jin's words made Li Shimin laugh loudly, and after laughing, Li Shimin said in a somewhat comfortable mood: "Zhijie, you should actually hear about my troubles, auxiliary machine, Xuan Ling... They're all helpless, what can you do? ”
"Huh...?" Li Shimin's words made Wei Chigong on the side stand up and said unhappily: "Your Majesty is looking down on our generals, and Lao Hei is unhappy." After speaking, Wei Chigong also brushed his big black face and deliberately showed an unhappy expression.
And this expression made Li Shimin laugh even more: "Haha... Ha ha... Respectfully... I don't look down on you, but I know that each has something to do.
Civil officials have things that civil officials are good at, and you generals have things that military generals are good at, but my troubles during this time are not something that your generals can solve. ”
"Isn't it just salt...?" Wei Chigong said indifferently: "According to what I said, you should shed blood for those families, a group of guys who don't know the height of the sky." ”
"Don't...!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Chigong and shook his head with a smile and said: "It's easy to kill people, but after killing, there are a lot of troubles, those family gate valves, although they have been hit by Emperor Yang of Sui, but, unfortunately, these tumors have not been eradicated."
This incident is a temptation of these family gate valves to me.
If we win, our Royal Li clan will be crushed by those family gate valves in the future. After speaking, Li Shimin smiled and sighed.
"Hmph... Those bastards...! Niu Jinda scolded hatefully.
"It's useless to scold...!" Li Shimin smiled self-deprecatingly: "I actually thought about killing, but who knows, the family is seven together, so it will be a little troublesome to kill." ”
"Isn't it just salt...!" Qin Qiong stood up from the stool at this time and said: "This time, the four of us are here to present the method of making salt to Your Majesty, as soon as this method comes out, as long as Your Majesty wants, there will be a steady stream of salt, and from then on, the family gate valve can no longer threaten Your Majesty with salt." ”
"Is what Uncle Bao said true?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Qiong with some disbelief.
At this time, Wei Chi smiled respectfully: "Ouch... Your Majesty still doesn't believe us, Brother Shubao, hurry up and dedicate the method of making salt. ”
Then, under Li Shimin's surprised expression, Qin Qiong handed over the method of salt making that Li Zhan had written.
After reading this method of making salt, Li Shimin shouted loudly in surprise: "Someone is coming... Get me something, quick...! ”
At about 20 o'clock in the evening, the Ganlu Temple began to boil salt.
...............................
Three days later... His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty established the Salt Industry Administration, which was in charge of the salt industry in the world, and all the private salt farms of the seven families were abolished by Li Shimin because they were unable to supply salt.
This retrenchment really hurt the bones of those big families, after all, the profits of this salt are very considerable, and because of this, the other six clans began to slowly alienate Qinghe Xiaofang.
The main reason is that this time he was too ruthless, of course, Li Shimin's blow is not only these, just after the supply of salt was restored, Li Shimin hit almost all the businesses of the Cui family in Qinghe for the first time.
Restaurants, pawnshops, silk houses, gems, spices... Wait a minute... It was simply a retaliatory blow, and just this one time made the Qinghe Cui family cry bitter.
However, Li Shimin did not move the Cui family's people in the imperial court, why... Or is it because the foundation of the family gate valve is too deep, Li Shimin can't be aggressive.
Although the Li Tang royal family reused a lot of poor people in the process of founding the country, so in the early Tang Dynasty, especially after Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, the family was even more divided and collapsed, and it has completely declined.
However, at that time, the concept of the family has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and when people evaluate people, they often unconsciously use the family to evaluate people, and the influence of the concept of the family is still deep in marriage, and the family is still in the hearts of the people.
For example, when Ma Zhou was an official, because he was born poor, he created the white eyes of Wei Ting, who was born in a big family. Moreover, the Li Tang royal family was born in the Guanlong aristocracy, although the Guanlong nobles are also a big family, but because the Li Tang royal family is mixed with the blood of the Xianbei people, the Shandong family, as a representative of the Han nationality, naturally looks down on the Guanlong nobles from the bones.
At this time, if Li Shimin directly attacked the Cui family regardless of it, it would be easy to cause a greater backlash, Li Shimin knew very well that if he wanted to deal with the family, he could only boil frogs in warm water.
Extinguishing the arrogance of the seven families, Li Shimin was very happy, at this time, some of Li Zhan's small requests were also approved by Li Shimin, allowing Li Zhan to open a salt factory, and all the salt produced was purchased by the Salt Industry Administration.
There is also Li Zhan's ice rink opened again, the Cui family's ice rink was sealed, Li Shimin made a decree, and the ice business outside Chang'an City could only be handed over to Li Zhan.
Following Li Shimin, he also gave Li Zhan a commendation and reported it to the whole country.
But he was stopped by Qin Qiong and others, Qin Qiong and others told Li Shimin that Li Zhan was just a very ordinary person, and all he wanted was to live simply, and he didn't want anything else.
This made Li Shimin very surprised, he didn't expect that there was such a person in this world, to be honest, because of this, Li Shimin's impression of Li Zhan was much deeper.
And it's not too late for the two to really meet, but after meeting, there is another bitter and helpless story.
.............................
"it..."
As the sun set, Li Zhan sat on the roof of his courtyard, looking at the salt pan that was still under construction not far away, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he was happy that he had brought an epoch-making item to Datang.
Salt... That is a necessity in ancient times, war reserve materials, which can not be suspected by Li Shimin, and then can help the people of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhan feels that it is the best.
It's just that Li Zhan wouldn't have thought that these so-called things he had done secretly had already been in Li Shimin's hands, whether it was the art of ice making, the high drum car, or the exchange of blood, or the legs... All of them have been known to Li Shimin.
The reason why he has not moved is just Li Chengqian, and the prince has become better, which is what Li Shimin is happy to see, that's all.
