Chapter 407 is all table salt
Chapter 407 The people of Chang'an City are all discussing, what are so many carriages going to the salt lake? Some people think about salt, but they don't dare to think about it, after all, the price of salt is so expensive now,
But many people are still looking forward to salt, of course, there are also many people who hope that it is not salt, and those officials of the family are now anxiously waiting for news in the house.
In the afternoon, those people found that there was still no news coming, a little disappointed, should buy salt or prepare to buy tomorrow, no way, salt is expensive, but it also needs to be eaten.
"Look, the carriage is back, and what is the white flower behind the carriage!" On the side of the west gate, many people who were about to leave the city saw a large number of carriages in the distance rushing towards this side, and ordered them to stop and look at the carriages, and next to the carriages, there were cavalry of Wuwei following.
"It's table salt, it's really table salt!" Some of the people saw the baskets of salt, and shouted excitedly, and then, when the convoy got closer, the people were sure that the cart was loaded with salt.
"Great, there is so much salt, it is from the court, it is estimated that the price of salt will definitely come down!"
"Is it from the court, or from the family? If it's a family, then the price is not the same? Those families are simply leeches! ”...
The people were talking about it, after all, but when they saw so much salt coming back, they were also wondering if this was a family.
Then, those carriages began to pass through the west gate and began to walk towards Chang'an City, and the carts of salt were very shocking. The people along the way all stood and looked at the convoys.
"Is this the salt of the court?" A bold man asked.
"Of course, it's the salt of the court, it was Hu Guogong who made it, and the price of salt will be reduced tomorrow!" A groom responded with a smile.
"Great!" When the people who were near heard it, they applauded.
And in a restaurant along the street, the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Ting, and King Wei are all standing here, King Wei looked at the carriage below with a pale face, and those carriages were loaded with 4 loads of salt, that's all, it is estimated that there are thousands of loads, and I don't know how many there are on the side of the salt lake.
"We have all been deceived, Qin Huaidao has already come up with salt, no wonder, Your Majesty does not negotiate with the people of the family, he has long known that salt can be made!" The eldest grandson Wuji also had a gloomy face,
He never dreamed that Qin Huaidao would really get salt in a short period of time, and there were so many of them, the carriage transporting salt had traveled for half an hour.
Behind, is His Majesty's convoy, Qin Huaidao is also riding a horse at the moment, and now it has been handed over to a lieutenant to be in charge, and when the time comes, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will send officials and craftsmen over there to specialize in making salt, and the soldiers of Wuwei don't have to continue to do it.
"Your Majesty's convoy is coming, it must be the salt of the court, and the price of salt will definitely drop tomorrow!"
"Great, it's from the court!" ...
Some people who don't know that Qin Huaidao got the salt, saw Li Shimin's carriage at this moment, and knew that this salt must be His Majesty's, and now the dispute between His Majesty and the family is also known to the people, after all, the news in Chang'an City is still very well-informed, not to mention, this matter has happened for so long.
"Look, those people are staring at this salt, and as soon as the salt is released tomorrow, the family will be in trouble." Fang Xuanling was riding on a horse at this moment and said to Qin Huaidao beside him.
"I don't care about this matter, anyway, it's handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and those soldiers will also get it, and when the Ministry of Civil Affairs sends someone to learn, I have to go home!" Qin Huaidao said to Fang Xuanling with a smile.
"Well, the rest of the things will be left to the old man, with table salt, what is the old man afraid of?" Tang Jian was also very happy at the moment and said that the difficulty in front of him was over.
Soon, the news that Hu Guogong got back the salt immediately spread throughout Chang'an City, and some people who were queuing up to buy salt also went home directly and didn't buy it.
And Qin Huaidao escorted Li Shimin to the palace, and then went home, he didn't go home for almost a month, and this time he went back, but he had to rest for a few days.
"The master is back!"
"The master is back!" Qin Huaidao's team had just arrived on the main road at the gate of the mansion, the housekeeper and the housekeeper shouted one after another, and then the middle door was wide open, after all, Qin Huaidao hadn't come back for a month,
And Li Lixian was holding Qin Yu at the moment, and Wu Mei was holding Qin Han, standing inside the middle gate, waiting for Qin Huaidao to come back.
"I've seen the master!" When Qin Huaidao arrived at the gate of the mansion, the housekeepers and stewards who came out, as well as those maids, saluted Qin Huaidao one after another.
"Okay, good, things at home, hard work for you!" Qin Huaidao turned over and dismounted with a smile, and walked towards the mansion gate.
While he was still going up the steps, Qin Huaidao saw Li Lixian and Wu Mei holding a child alone.
"Hahaha. Oops, I miss me! Qin Huaidao smiled and walked up the steps quickly and entered the mansion gate.
"I've seen the master!" Li Lixian and Wu Mei, as well as the maids in the house, shouted in order.
"Okay, okay, Xian'er, Wu Mei, hard work, master, I'm not at home for a month, and I have to worry about everything at home." Qin Huaidao said to them with a smile, and at the same time took the two children, holding one in one hand.
"Brother, brother!" Qin Jiao was standing behind Li Lixian at the moment, shouting loudly.
"Yo, Jiao'er, brother, have you grown taller? Oops, I haven't grown much taller, haven't I eaten? Qin Huaidao looked at Jiao'er with a smile and asked.
"Brother, I eat a lot of food every day, you ask your sisters-in-law!" Jiao'er immediately looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and said.
"Hmph, it's strange to believe you, when my brother is at home, you don't eat much, you know how to eat those snacks, I'm not at home, your two sisters-in-law can still take care of you?" Qin Huaidao looked at Qin Jiao with a smile and said, while Qin Jiao grinned.
"Master, let's come!" Wu Mei smiled and stretched out her hand to pick up the two children.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, let's go, go back, go to the living room!" Qin Huaidao didn't let go, holding the two children, and walked to the front,
Li Lixian and Wu Mei followed him separately. After arriving in the living room, Qin Huaidao sat down and still looked at the two children, and the two children also stared at Qin Huaidao.
"Look at what? I don't know my father, but my father misses a few of you. Qin Huaidao smiled and looked left and right.
"Master, let's come, master rest!" Wu Mei said with a smile, and then hugged Qin Han and Qin Yu and gave them to the nurse behind.
"Master, this trip out, but I got a lot of tan." Li Lixian looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and said.
"What do you say, I bask in the sun outside every day, if my father doesn't come again, I will sneak back by myself, it's hot and sunny!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"It was just rumored outside that the master brought back salt, it seems that more than a thousand carts and thousands of quintals have been loaded!" Li Lixian then said to Qin Huaidao, just now the housekeeper also came over to report the news outside.
"Well, sir, I got more than 30,000 loads, which is almost enough for the people of Datang for a year, and I'm afraid that there will be no salt? Oops, I'm tired from this trip! Qin Huaidao said with a smile,
And at this moment, on the side of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a large number of officials watched the salt being carried to the treasury of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Li Shimin was quite proud.
Some ministers, such as the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Ting, are also here to see in person at the moment, and they want to determine whether it is salt or not, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi The three of them also came over, and now they have also determined that they are all salt.
"Auxiliary, the problem of salt, I don't worry about it, this is only the first batch, in the warehouse of the salt lake, there are more than 20,000 loads of salt, to say, the amount of the whole Tang Dynasty for a year, Peping has come out, starting tomorrow, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will officially sell salt!" Li Shimin deliberately shouted that the eldest grandson Wuji, and he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.
"Your Majesty, what price should I set for this salt tomorrow?" Tang Jian came over deliberately at this moment and asked Li Shimin.
"Well, what about Pepin?" Li Shimin looked around, but found no trace of Qin Huaidao, so he asked.
"Go back to Your Majesty, go back, escort you to the palace, and go back!" Tang Jian immediately said to Li Shimin.
"Oh, this kid, why is he so homesick?" Li Shimin heard it and pretended to be helpless.
"Your Majesty, he hasn't been back for a month, young man, you can understand!" Zhang Liang next to him also said with a smile.
"Hmm. Then 20 wen a catty, anyway, you remember, we are a penny cheaper than the family's salt, so it's decided, and we will start selling it tomorrow! Li Shimin said very happily.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tang Jian also nodded, and when the eldest grandson Wuji heard it, they were shocked, especially the sentence, that is, it was cheaper than the family's salt, and this was the family's business.
"Also, Fang Aiqing!" Li Shimin then shouted.
"The minister is here!" Fang Xuanling heard it and stood up.
"Inform the family's salt, after a month, the family's salt can't be bought, if they have inventory, it will be sold out in this month, and in the future, the salt can only be sold in the court, monopoly!" Li Shimin then said to Fang Xuanling.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!" The eldest grandson Wuji didn't wait for Fang Xuanling to answer, so he took over the conversation and asked first.
"What's wrong? Salt and pig iron, must be monopolized by the court, others and so on, can not be sold, once caught, capital offense! Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.
"Father, isn't this, the family's salt workshop all going to be shut down?" Li Tai also looked at Li Shimin in shock and asked. Li Shimin glanced at him and did not answer him.
"I'm afraid the family won't agree, right?" Eldest Sun Wuji then asked.
"What can't be agreed, do you want to let them continue to produce, I just said, salt, can only be monopolized by the court!" Li Shimin said in a very firm tone.
