Chapter 1 Salt drying in seawater

"Squeak! Squeak...... Appeal ......"

With a clear shout, the sound of squeaking and squeaking like a lullaby finally stopped slowly, and Li Yuanjia, who had been in a state of confusion, was also awakened by the sound outside.

"The king is back home!"

"Welcome back to the king!"

"Huh? Arrived? ”

Opening his eyes suddenly, Li Yuanjia listened carefully to the voices outside, and quickly sat up, with a relieved smile on his face at the same time.

It's not easy!

Especially when I think of my hard work...... Oh, let the big carriage that Chen Muxin worked so hard to build, and in the end it was taken away by the second child, it is likely that the emperor will take it back to Chang'an, Li Yuanjia felt that his heart was full of breath, and he wanted to find someone to scold him fiercely.

The good carriage is gone, Chen Mu and they can't make a new one so quickly, Li Yuanjia can only use the old one.

The road was bumpy, from Shiping to Chang'an City, but it tossed him miserably!

Hammering his waist vigorously, and moving his hands and feet again, Li Yuanjia heard a gentle voice outside: "Welcome the king back home!" ”

There was a "bang", and the curtain of the carriage was lifted.

Li Yuanjia stepped down from the carriage, waved his hand first and said, "Get up", and then personally reached out to support Fang Fengzhu, who was saluting: "Fengzhu, please get up quickly......"

When he said these words, he was actually very tired in his heart.

is obviously his wife, a person who sleeps in the bed at night, but now one has to make a solemn salute, and the other has to pretend to be polite...... Especially this wife is still from the house, and she attaches the most importance to etiquette, no matter how many times Li Yuanjia talks to her, nothing has changed.

This feeling made him a little unhappy when he was still looking forward to going home.

However, after leaving home for a few days, I still have to have a sense of ceremony, and after a lively time, it finally ended before Li Yuanjia was completely impatient.

didn't pay attention to the others, Li Yuanjia walked directly to the place where he lived, and said to Fengzhu beside him as he walked: "I'll go to the bath first, change my clothes and then have dinner...... Well, is the water boiled? ”

After living in the camp for more than ten days, Li Yuanjia was really a little unbearable.

"It's burned, and it can be washed at any time!"

Fang Fengzhu also knew that he was clean by nature, and he had to bathe every day in the summer, even if the weather was cold, he had to soak it once in two or three days. Therefore, someone quickly returned home in advance to inform the king that after arriving home today, Fang Fengzhu ordered someone to prepare hot water early, and the bathtub in the bathroom was also cleaned and ready to be used at any time.

Li Yuanjia is quite satisfied with this.

However, before entering the bathroom, he politely rejected Fang Fengzhu's idea of wanting to go in and serve. went out for more than ten days, not that Li Yuanjia didn't want to be warm with her, but there was a delicate beauty by her side when she was taking a bath, and Li Yuanjia was afraid that she would not be able to bear it.

And after a day of riding in the old carriage, he felt that his whole body was about to fall apart, and he was really powerless.

"It turns out that traversers are not necessarily talented!"

Half-lying comfortably in the bathtub, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but smile and subconsciously shook his head. Perhaps it was really because of the poor medical and health conditions in this era, and sometimes he even felt that his love for his body was almost to the point of going crazy......

"Or maybe it's because Bong-joo isn't allure enough?"

After thinking about it in his mind for a while, Li Yuanjia shook his head and decided not to think about these things that made his heart agitated, and began to ponder the idea that he had been thinking all the way.

Can the salt drying method be taken out?

Although Li Yuanjia doesn't know much about the specific details, when he watched "A Bite of China", he also looked up the ancient salt drying method out of curiosity and roughly understood the steps...... It's very simple to get to know it. But it doesn't matter, as long as you have money and people, tell them the method, and let them study it slowly.

The key now is that Li Yuanjia doesn't know whether he should take it out or not.

Or should he take it out?

After all, in any feudal dynasty, salt and iron are too important, even if the early Tang Dynasty did not implement the monopoly of salt and iron, and the control was relatively relaxed, it was still very risky to rashly make a move in this field. Not to mention that it may offend a large number of vested interests, will Li Shimin be suspicious?

After all, what Li Yuanjia wants to do this time is not glass, cotton, or spirits or anything like that, but salt that is related to the national economy and people's livelihood!

Who doesn't eat salt in the whole world?

It can be said that in any feudal society, salt is a strategic material second only to grain, and it is in the same position as iron. Including transactions with the Turks and other states, salt was also an important basis for the Tang Dynasty to exert influence on them.

That's why Li Yuanjia felt that he wanted to meddle in this business rashly, I'm afraid he wanted to find himself unhappy!

"Well, why don't you let someone try it first?"

Squinting his eyes slightly, Li Yuanjia buried himself deeper in the bathtub: "Don't go to large-scale manufacturing, just let people study the steps and details of seawater salt first, this should be no problem, right?" Just come secretly......"

……

In October of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Datang was actually not calm.

At the beginning of the month, Bazhou rebelled.

At the end of the month, Junzhou rebelled.

At the same time, there are also Mingzhou, Bizhou, and there is a shouting and killing sound everywhere.

Of course, they are all in the corners of the Tang Dynasty, and the rebellions are all on the scale of a few hundred or thousands of people, and the influence is not great.

Even if the Western Turks were divided into two, Chuyue, Chumi and Gaochang joined forces to capture the five cities of Yanqi together, in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, it was a small cough, and it didn't take too much thought at all.

The world is safe, singing and dancing are leveling!

Anyway, no matter whether the world is peaceful or rebellious, it actually has nothing to do with Li Yuanjia, because it is in Chang'an City...... No, it should be said that in the entire Central Plains, the so-called rebellion will not affect it at all, and naturally it will not affect him, the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the news of rebellion from time to time also made Li Yuanjia understand one thing: why the second child is willing to divide the states of the world to those princes and founding heroes, so that they can inherit the position of assassinating history, and also understand this kind of great grace in the eyes of later generations, the eldest grandson Wuji will feel that it is a chore, thinking that Li Shimin is unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

After staying in Chang'an, who wants to go to other places except Luoyang?

Is that called hair distribution?

So after faintly hearing the complaints of his brothers in their respective fiefdoms, Li Yunjia didn't know for a while whether to be glad that he stayed in Chang'an, or whether he should be helpless and too close to the center of the Tang Dynasty.

However, one thing he can be sure of is that after Shiping's winter hunt returned, his Han Wangfu gradually became more lively and began to gain more popularity......
