Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Sea Salt Exposed

"I heard, you have a special place for women?"

After taking a sip of milk tea, Li Shimin glanced at his younger brother in front of him and said lightly: "And in order to attract them to come over every day, I even made a lot of good things...... Hehe, even Changle and Yuzhang are now obsessed with mahjong and big landlords? And every time you play, you always have to bring some color heads, otherwise you will feel bored! ”

"Uh......"

His eyelids jumped wildly, and Li Yuanjia's heart instantly felt a little empty.

This old boy ......

How do you know?

What the hell is this the third day of the emperor's return to the palace, right? Even the official court meeting has not yet been held, and it will not be held until tomorrow! So while feeling empty in his heart, Li Yuanjia also jumped in his heart - what does the emperor mean by knowing the relevant news so quickly?

Involuntarily, Li Yuanjia began to think wildly.

Actually, since he dared to take out the mahjong, Li Yuanjia was naturally not afraid that the emperor would know about it, but ...... He prefers to let him know after a while, when mahjong is completely popular. Because if you know it now, it means that Li Shimin knows the existence of the women's club and everyone knows it......

What about crowd gambling?

Seeing Li Yuanjia shrinking his neck, Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but think of his lovely eldest daughter......

"Mahjong?"

After listening to his daughter's slightly excited story yesterday, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and then became curious, and asked with a smile: "What is that that can make our Princess Changle unforgettable, even when she came to see her father, she was a little absent-minded?" ”

"Father's ......"

First, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Changyin, and then Changle pursed his lips and smiled: "That mahjong is a game, which is to engrave some numbers and patterns on small wooden blocks...... Hee-hee, Father, I brought you a set today, you can try it at your leisure. ”

"Games?"

Blinking his eyes, Li Shimin became more and more surprised.

For the eldest daughter in front of him, he really knows a lot, it can be said that Changle has always been the princess who is most like the eldest grandson, gentle and dignified, calm and calm, it is difficult for her to indulge in anything, let alone a game.

Surprised, Li Shimin naturally became interested.

So under the "guidance" of Changle, Li Shimin played a few mahjong games with her...... Of course, there were also the two little eunuchs who were waiting by his side, and he quickly figured out the doorway. Then after Changle inadvertently said something like a small bet, the emperor immediately discovered the true mystery of this mahjong......

So looking at King Han in front of him, how could he not have fire in his heart?

What a bastard!

It's not good for you to be a dignified prince who reads and writes at home, or does something that is good for Datang, so you first built a place where only women can enter, and then you come up with these games to attract them...... What the hell do you want to do? If it weren't for the fact that he was clear about some things in King Han's mansion, and knew that his younger brother was really not too interested in women, Li Shimin would have doubted the original intention of this kid to start this women's club.

But even so, Li Shimin is still very angry about the appearance of mahjong!

Is this kid doing it on purpose?

Knowing that His Majesty the Emperor strictly forbade officials to gamble, he specially picked those women to start, planning to let them take mahjong home, and teach the husband at home to gamble?

As soon as he thought of this, Li Shimin's eyes when he looked at his younger brother became more and more unkind.

After taking a light breath, Li Yuanjia's heart was crossed, and he laughed dryly: "Second brother, I just thought about a little game when I was bored, which was originally intended to pass the time for the princesses, but I didn't expect Changle and Yuzhang to like it too, hehe...... As for that club or something, in fact, I think it is not easy for the princess and them to meet on weekdays, so I built a special place for them to gather...... Ahem, that place is only allowed to women, so there are a lot less things to do. ”

Seeing that the emperor's eyes were wrong, Li Yuanjia hurriedly brought the topic to the club.

"Hmmm......"

Sure enough, after listening to Li Yuanjia's words, the emperor's eyes suddenly eased, and his expression looked a lot better - compared with the Ming and Qing dynasties, which were extremely strict with feudal etiquette and religion in later generations, and even compared with the Song Dynasty, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was still very open, and there were many incidents. Especially some high-powered and lascivious big people, often do things that make the emperor helpless......

If he knew what the emperor was thinking at this time, Li Yuanjia probably couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Who do you say?

Li Lao Er himself is not clean!

After killing his own brother, he included Li Yuanji's wife in the harem by the way...... Of course, Lao Li also suffered retribution later, and his wife Wu Meiniang was married by her son! And Li Zhi not only accepted his father's daughter-in-law, but later even gave Wu Zetian the world of the Tang Dynasty.

If it goes further, there is also Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, who robbed his son and daughter-in-law...... Anyway, for Datang, these things are nothing, and they are very chaotic up and down. For example, these princesses and county lords of the clan actually don't have a few fuel-efficient lamps!

But in any case, it is better to have fewer of these things after all.

So after listening to Li Yuanjia's words, the emperor's face suddenly looked a lot better, and taking this opportunity, Li Yuanjia hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Second brother, I brought some things into the palace today and want to present them to you...... Why don't you let them bring things in? ”

"Oh? What is it? ”

After hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, and Li Shimin opened his eyes with interest.

A gift from the Eleven?

This can't help but be curious about Li Shimin, after all, this kid has a lot of ghost ideas, and he can often come up with some amazing good things, such as the Quyuan plow and the overturned car, and then the bright glass in the Daxing Hall - to be honest, Li Shimin can't wait to see the stunned expressions of the ministers when they see the unloading of the glass when they go to court tomorrow!

What's new this time?!

Li Yuanjia didn't tell him the answer directly, he smiled and said, "Hehe, you will know ...... when you bring it in",

"Hmm!"

Nodding, Li Shimin waved his hand, and the eunuch who was waiting next to him hurriedly went out to call someone.

That is, a prince like Li Yuanjia, that is, Li Shimin's younger brother, would be so bold to sell Guanzi, and the emperor would not care too much, if he was replaced by an ordinary minister, he would definitely be angry at this time.

However, after a few eunuchs moved the three boxes outside in and opened them at Li Yuanjia's behest, Li Shimin's expression quickly became strange: "Old Eleven, these are ...... Salt?! ”

The appearance is very familiar, but it is very white and fine, and the amount is very large, which makes the emperor a little uncertain.

"Yes, it's salt!"

Nodding vigorously, Li Yuanjia squinted and smiled: "Second brother, do you remember when I told you that you have to dry salt?" Fill out a piece of land by the seashore and bring in the sea salt that comes out with wind and sun......"
