After coming out of the courtyard, Han Lucheng immediately glared at Ma Liang and said in a low voice, "Let's go...... Follow me! “

“…… Be. ”

There was a strong surge in his throat, and Ma Liang hurriedly followed.

The two walked until they reached a secluded place, and Han Lucheng stopped and said in a hurried whisper: "Ma Liang, although the king did not specifically explain, this matter is ...... You know what to do, right? ”

"Know, know, Steward Han!"

Taking a deep breath, Ma Liang nodded without hesitation and said, "I have already explained to them, and I can't say anything about this matter to anyone, not even their parents......"

"No, that's not enough!"

Before Ma Liang could finish speaking, Han Lucheng interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "You go back right now, so that all the students must stay in the academy and not leave...... When the king finally makes a decision, you will naturally know what to do......"

……

Han Lucheng's careful thoughts, how could Li Yuanjia not understand?

And this is indeed a normal person's way of thinking, not to mention Han Lucheng, that is, after any normal person listens to Li Yuanjia's words, I am afraid that the first reaction in his mind is to firmly control Ma Liang and the five people on the edge of the East China Sea, ensuring that this secret can only exist in Han Wangfu.

Without him, the benefits are too great.

From ancient times to the present, salt and iron have been the most profitable trade in this country, which is why the salt and iron monopoly system appeared, and it has lasted for thousands of years. Even if the real salt monopoly is abolished a long, long time later, it will not be until the 21st century.

The reason for this is because table salt is so important.

Table salt is essential for any normal person...... If you don't put any salt in the rice, no matter how fresh the ingredients are and how skilled the chef is, it will be a bland and tasteless meal.

This is an instinctive response of the human body, expressing a craving for table salt.

If the intake of salt is insufficient, it will not only make it easy to get sick, but also cause the human body to be weak and weak, which is quite terrible for the ancients who lived purely by manual labor.

So Han Lucheng has such an idea, and Li Yuanjia will not be surprised.

Merely......

"The benefits of seawater drying salt are too great, and it is not something that our Han Wangfu can eat."

When talking to Fang Fengzhu about this matter at night, Li Yuanjia's tone was very flat, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, and chuckled: "Actually, I think that except for the emperor, I am afraid that no one in the world can afford this deal...... Only a fool would want to eat alone, because that result is only one word! ”

“…… Die? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Fengzhu tentatively said a word, and it was already clear in his eyes.

"Yes, it's death."

Glancing at his princess, Li Yuanjia smiled slightly, without the slightest surprise in his eyes.

Although she is only a teenager, Fang Fengzhu is not a rural village woman, but she is also the eldest lady from the Liang Guogong Mansion, so it is not a strange thing to understand this truth. And her father is the eternal name Fang Xuanling, Li Yuanjia's old Taishan in addition to the "Fang plot to break off" scheme, the best thing is to be cautious, if it is not for the bad luck of being stuffed by the royal second daughter-in-law......

Well, that's a long way off.

Anyway, Fang Fengzhu wants to understand this truth, and Li Yuanjia is really not strange at all.

It has nothing to do with age, what matters is education.

Although Han Lucheng is also well-informed, and his age is almost twice that of Fang Fengzhu, he has always been educated on how to be a good housekeeper, and Fang Fengzhu has been how to become a prince's wife since he was a child, and what he usually learns from Fang Xuanling is not at the level of Han Lucheng.

So as soon as he heard the words of his own king, Fang Fengzhu immediately understood what he meant.

The benefits of salt and iron are really too great.

There are so many people in the world, and there are so many surrounding countries besides Datang, who doesn't need to eat salt, and who doesn't want to use more iron?

Among them, iron is related to national security because it can build weapons; And salt is a purely civilian necessity, and no one can do without it, so the scale of the industry is so large that people in the future will be amazed!

Hundreds of years later, Sima Guang said in "Zizhi Tongjian" that "the wealth of the world, salt and profit are half", but he is not talking nonsense.

It is the Tang Dynasty itself, the early Tang Dynasty and the Sheng Tang Dynasty did not include salt and iron in the official camp, but in the future, when the country declines and the finances are not spent, the salt tax will become the pillar of the Tang Dynasty......

So ambitious as Li Shimin will never allow his younger brother to ...... No, it should be said that he will not allow anyone to have exclusive access to seawater salt drying and purification technology!

With the low cost and high yield of seawater salt, coupled with purification technology, it is not difficult to dominate the salt industry in the world.

At that time, not to mention how much money Li Yuanjia can make from it, just the control of the world's salt industry itself may make the emperor and the civil and military officials restless and panic.

What is the difference between controlling salt and controlling the lifeblood of the world?

When it comes to the critical time, as long as you climb high and shout, those who don't follow me will have no salt to eat in the future......

Is this worth it?

So whoever dares to do this will have to die.

And it was seeing the clarity in Fang Fengzhu's eyes that Li Yuanjia said indifferently: "I have already planned for this matter, and tomorrow I will let people take the coarse salt from the sea water and the refined salt purified by Ma Liang to Jiucheng Palace...... Of course, I will also personally write a letter to your majesty. ”

"Hoo ......"

Exhaled softly, a touch of distress flashed in Fang Fengzhu's eyes, and he nodded: "The king is wise...... That's exactly how it should be! ”

"Hmmm......"

Seeing that Fang Fengzhu was trying his best to make himself look calm, the corners of Li Yuanjia's mouth twitched, and he nodded helplessly.

This girl is mature and distressing, and people want to hug her and comfort her.

It's just that Li Yuanjia just wanted to raise his arm, but suddenly thought of his head, and suddenly couldn't help but be stunned.

Fang Fengzhu's maturity makes people feel distressed, what about herself?

If it was the self in the previous life, could you think of such a decision?

"Sizzle...... Hehe. ”

Thinking about it, Li Yuanjia suddenly gasped, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he began to feel sorry for himself - if it was the one in his previous life, he would definitely not hand over the technology, but would quietly build a lot of salt drying farms by himself, and then find a lot of salt merchants to sell goods to him......

So what is the difference between him and Fang Fengzhu now?

"No, it's different."

As soon as this thought flashed in his head, Li Yuanjia quickly shook his head and drove them out. At least he can guarantee that at the beginning, he "invented" seawater drying salt definitely not for money, and handed over the technology not simply to keep himself out of trouble......

……

I was very confused with this book, and I felt that there were many problems.

It's been a mess lately, so I'm going to think about it.
