"According to the report, this batch of sea salt is at least 5,000 catties!"

"Sizzle......"

After listening to Han Lucheng's words, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but gasp.

Five thousand pounds!

In just a few months, they have sunbathed so much salt?

Awesome!

Of course, Li Yuanjia knew that drying salt made money, which can be seen from the wealth of salt merchants in later generations. But he also knows that even if it is a technique that ancient people can figure out, it will not be too easy to really mature.

So from the moment this group of people was sent, Li Yuanjia was ready for a long time.

And after posting the first batch of sea salt, Li Yuanjia asked Han Lucheng to send some more people over, but ...... Even if those people had brought back a batch before, because the number was relatively small, Li Yuanjia didn't pay too much attention to it.

But this time......

"Hoo ......"

Breathing a little heavily, Li Yuanjia immediately nodded and said, "Han Lucheng, immediately send someone to greet you...... It's a thousand miles from the East China Sea, and everyone should be tired! ”

"Yes, my lord, I'll arrange ......"

"No, you wait a minute!"

Without waiting for Han Lucheng to turn his head and go out, Li Yuanjia's eyes flashed, and he stopped him: "Don't arrange it first, let me think about it, think about it......"

Squinting his eyes slightly, Li Yuanjia couldn't care about the letter in his hand, and got up directly and turned around in the room.

Five thousand catties of sea salt, this impact is a bit big.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanjia suddenly raised his head and said, "Han Lucheng, this time they brought back coarse salt, right?" The things you need to use to purify coarse salt, I'll let you accumulate more, and the current stock is enough? ”

"Uh...... Yes, King! ”

Stunned for a moment, Han Lucheng hurriedly bowed down and said: "The method of purifying coarse salt, only a few people in our house know about it, and they look very strict on weekdays, so they naturally don't know!" As for the things you mentioned, I've had a lot of people buy them over the past few months...... It's just that I didn't expect them to pull so much salt back this time, probably ...... There may be some shortcomings. ”

When he said this, Han Lucheng's face was also slightly bitter.

Who would have thought that?

I thought that in a few months, those people could bring back one or two thousand catties of sea salt, but I didn't expect that in just two or three years, they would be able to dry thousands of catties of sea salt!

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid those things are really not enough.

"Huh?"

Frowning for a moment, Li Yuanjia didn't blame his housekeeper, just waved his hand and said, "If it's not enough, hurry up and buy it, and when those sea salts arrive, let them start refining them immediately...... Remember, before Your Majesty comes back from Jiucheng Palace, this batch of salt must be turned into refined salt for me! ”

"Yes, King!"

Almost as a reflex, Han Lucheng immediately nodded.

It was only after a moment that he immediately came back to his senses, and his eyes widened suddenly: "Your ......, the king?" Do you want to present this batch of salt to Your Majesty? ”

"Well, exactly."

Nodding, Li Yuanjia responded lightly.

"But ......"

opened his mouth, although the words did not continue to be spoken, but Han Lucheng's heart rolled away.

If this kind of thing is left on him, it must be firmly covered! Even if you definitely want to release the news in the future, or even dedicate this method of drying salt to the emperor, at least you should wait until a few years ago, right? With the identity and status of our king, I'm afraid no one dares to say anything, right?

After all, in these years, we Datang don't have a monopoly on salt.

But after hesitating for a while, Han Lucheng didn't dare to say these words, after all, he had already known Li Yuanjia's plans, and he also knew that the king almost never listened to people's persuasion, and it was useless to say it!

As soon as he saw his expression, Li Yuanjia knew what Han Lucheng was thinking, and waved his hand a little funny: "Okay, this matter is settled, go and do it!" ”

"Yes, my lord."

After bowing, Han Lucheng left.

And Li Yuanjia, who was left behind, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and the last trace of regret in his eyes disappeared.

If you are serious, in fact, in addition to glass, of course, sea salt can make a lot of money!

Salt iron, salt iron, even after hundreds of years the foreign trade of the Chinese increased tea, porcelain, and even porcelain became a symbol of China, and tea also implemented a monopoly system, but in essence, they are still different from salt and iron. Porcelain is expensive because it is the same as silk; Tea is of great significance to the grassland people because of its special role.

But in any case, they are not comparable to salt.

Because if you don't drink tea, you will lack some nutrients, such as vitamins, but if you don't drink salt......

So even if the technology of drying salt is taken out, in fact, Li Yuanjia does not plan to get involved in this business in the future, and after the people under him improve the technology, he will definitely give it to the second child in the future...... Even if Li Shimin is generous enough and willing to let his younger brother do it himself, considering that it is now the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Yuanjia has no reason to keep this big bomb, after all, salt is too much to do.

The reason why salt drying is made is just for the sake of the people of the world.

That's right, it's that great.

There is a good saying, if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. If Li Yuanjia is still trying to make ends meet...... Or to live a good life and be busy, some things are naturally not in the mood to do, such as Arabic numerals, movable type printing or something, who has the energy to do thankless things? But now that he has a good baby when he was reborn, not only has he eaten and drunk all his life, but he is even at the top of the pyramid of the times, Li Yuanjia naturally doesn't mind seeking more benefits for the people of the world.

It's the early Tang Dynasty, and at least Li Shimin won't control the production and sale of salt for the sake of taxes.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, even if the salt can produce salt that the whole country can afford, because of the huge interests, from the imperial court to the salt merchants below, the poor people who can still speculate the price of salt cannot afford it......

Far from it.

Without this sea salt, Li Yuanjia would at most have less copper money in the treasury, which would not have any impact on his life for the rest of his life. But if he really monopolizes this technology with the status of the prince, maybe Li Shimin can tolerate it, but he can bear it after his nephew comes to power in the future?

Don't be funny.

Let's just say that Li Zhi is that kid, many people think he is weak and can be bullied or something, and in the end he let a woman climb on his head. But if you take a closer look at the history of Tang Gaozong, who dares to say this?

Ruthless!

So after shaking his head and dispelling the little thoughts in his mind, Li Yuanjia calmed down and opened the letter he had just gotten.

The letter from Jiucheng Palace, there is news in ten **.

Sure enough, after opening and reading this letter, Li Yuanjia's eyes gradually lit up: "I've been preparing for so long, is it finally coming......
