Chapter Twenty-Eight: Let Him Do It Himself
Speaking of Haiyan, Li Shimin just seemed quite happy.
Although he also felt that it was a bit inappropriate for his younger brother to like these strange and obscene skills, since Li Yuanjia really doubled the output of the overturned car, and made thousands of overturned cars during this great drought, the emperor's mentality has gradually changed.
This looks like a good thing?
Eleven Lang may indeed engage in these things because of play, but it is undeniable that every time he makes something, it can make people shine and even bring benefits to Datang...... Not to mention anything else, just the two items of overturning and Quyuan plow, if you want to put the flowers on other people's heads, I'm afraid there is no problem with sealing a marquis, right?
In just a few days, how many surprises did Lao Eleven bring to Li Shimin?
Let's talk about the bag of sea salt in my hand first, because the letter written by Lao Eleven did not say in too much detail, but it just said that the output has been improved and the operation is simpler.
But to be able to purify such fine white sea salt, it doesn't matter how much he can produce in a year!
Datang is not short of salt, well salt, mineral salt and the original sea salt are enough for people all over the world to eat, and a bucket is only twenty or thirty yuan, and the price is not too high...... It's not about the yield, it's about the quality!
The salt eaten by ordinary people is really dirty!
Dignitaries like Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling naturally have the best supply of refined salt in the world, and often when mining an entire salt mine, the salt workers will send the best part of the salt to Chang'an City.
As for the others, who cares what is in the salt?
Li Shimin is not the Taiping Emperor who has never been out of the palace, not to mention that he has seen the salt of ordinary people's homes when he conquered the world, he has eaten a lot of it himself, and he knows very well that the salt not only looks black, but also exaggerated and mixed with sand, and it tastes bitter and astringent......
If you eat too much, you'll die!
Therefore, in the emperor's opinion, if King Han's method can be used on all the salt, it will be really immeasurable. It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin suddenly had a feeling that it would not be a big deal for his brothers and craftsmen to do things together, do some small business or something?
As for what kind of drying method the so-called "drying salt" in Li Yuanjia's mouth is, how efficient it is, and how expensive it is, the emperor doesn't care very much, so he naturally can't answer Fang Xuanling's question.
Frowning, Fang Xuanling hurriedly asked what he was most concerned about: "Your Majesty, King Han sent these fine salts, but ...... Are you going to dedicate the method of drying salt and the method of purification to Your Majesty? ”
"This ......"
After a pause, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Hehe, Lao Shi did mention it in the letter, saying that I can send someone to learn the method of drying salt and purifying it at any time...... It's just that the method of drying salt is not proficient at the moment, and I am afraid that it will take a few years to try it slowly; In addition, the method of purification is also needed, which requires a method called ...... Well, anyway, I just need something to find from Tongbai County, and it's quite expensive! ”
"Oh, I see!"
After hearing his words, Fang Xuanling's brows stretched slightly.
Not yet skilled? Expensive?
This is quite tactful, but it should mean that the method of drying salt is not perfect, and the refined salt is too expensive?
A flash of clarity flashed in his eyes, and Fang Xuanling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If so, then no problem. For the Honored Academy
As long as the so-called method of drying salt is not high, and then purifying this grade of refined salt is also very expensive, Fang Xuanling is really not afraid of his son-in-law's idea of going to fight sea salt. Because he knows very well that what Datang needs most at the moment is coarse salt for twenty or thirty dollars a bucket, and more than ninety and a half percent of the people are eating it...... Or can only afford to eat this salt. As for the refined salt in front of you, if you sell it, it will cost several times less to say a bucket, which is a hundred times more than coarse salt!
This kind of salt is not something that anyone can afford.
To be precise, the sales volume of this kind of salt in Chang'an, that is, one hundred and eighty buckets, is almost negligible.
So if Li Yuanjia is really making this kind of salt, not to mention that it is a good deal to survive, just to say that he competes with those old salt merchants and can compete with others? The best refined salt in people's hands is not necessarily worse than this.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Xuanling asked casually, "Your Majesty, what do you mean ......?"
"Eleven Lang figured out the method himself, let him do it himself."
Without too much hesitation, Li Shimin said with a smile: "According to him, the amount of refined salt made by this method is not large, and the price is quite high, not much cheaper than those refined salts on the market...... If you're making a little fuss, let him play by himself! ”
Thinking of what his brother said in his letter, Li Shimin smiled slightly.
That stinky boy, do you really think that the emperor can't do anything if he is idle every day? Although this bag of fine salt does look attractive, but since he himself said that it is expensive, it is not cheap at all compared to the refined salt on the market, and it is even more expensive, where would Li Shimin be interested?
As an emperor, how could he be short of refined salt?
Or even if he is lacking, what he lacks is a large amount of cheap refined salt, the kind that ordinary people in the world can afford to eat!
“…… It's good. ”
Seeing that the emperor was a little careless, although Fang Xuanling echoed his voice, while frowning, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
I always feel ......
What's wrong?
However, even if it is Liang Guogong, it is difficult to detect anything wrong with this new thing at once, so he can only stare and think silently.
Fang Xuanling's thoughts were still on Haiyan, but Li Shimin turned his head and turned to the tea just now: "Xuanling, you say...... Is this tea really that good for the body? ”
"This ...... Lao Chen really doesn't know. ”
Shaking his head, Fang Xuanling smiled helplessly.
When it comes to the ability to govern the country, he is indeed a good hand, but when it comes to eating and drinking...... Or medical skills, Fang Xuanling is a pure layman, where can he give any opinions?
Li Shimin frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Eleven Lang said in his letter that the Turkic merchant bought two thousand catties of tea in one go, and they were all given to Yi Nan alone!" And the reason why Yi Nan is willing to buy so much tea is because he benefited from it last winter...... Xuan Ling, if there are really so many benefits as King Han said, then tea is really very important! ”
"Yes, what Your Majesty said is very true!"
After listening to the emperor's words, Fang Xuanling's expression also became solemn, and he took a deep breath and said: "But it's just a businessman's words right now, how is it, I'm afraid I need to wait a little longer, take a look at it......"
