Chapter 405 Eldest Sun Wuji only thought at this moment that he had thought wrong before, he kept staring at Li Shimin, thinking that Li Shimin would do something to them, but he didn't expect that he didn't think about Li Chengqian at all,

In his mind, Li Chengqian didn't have the ability to do this thing at all, but he never dreamed that this thing was done by Li Chengqian.

"If the prince did it, then this matter makes sense, but it also confirms that the prince is indeed very unfriendly to our family.

Zhao Guogong, this still needs your help, after all, you are an important minister by His Majesty's side, although you are no longer a left servant, but your influence on Your Majesty is still there! Jing Zhao Wei looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said,

Now he just wants to use the eldest grandson Wuji to pull down Li Chengqian, as long as he pulls down Li Chengqian, then their Wei nephew, Li Shen, will have a chance, after all, he is a disciple of Hu Guogong, if there is the support of Hu Guogong, it is equivalent to the support of the generals,

Of course, things certainly won't be that easy.

The eldest grandson Wujian has three sons, in addition to Li Chengqian, there are also Li Tai and Li Zhi, the key now is to get rid of Li Chengqian first, as for Li Tai, Wei will not take it into his eyes at all.

They have already made a plan, once Li Tai has the opportunity, then they will start to support Li Zhi, they also believe that Li Zhi will definitely fight, as long as they can kill Li Tai, and then, they will help Li Shen up, this is the key,

Therefore, now he needs to use the ability of the eldest grandson Wuji, as well as the ability of other families, this idea is deeply buried in the hearts of the main core members of the Wei family.

Until the end, they will not be easily exposed, otherwise, it will bring ruin to their entire Wei family.

"Well, the old man also hopes that Li Tai can serve as the crown prince, but now the crown prince must have Qin Huaidao's secret support, as well as those generals secretly support, so if you want to completely take him down, the normal way may not be possible." The eldest grandson Wuji sat there, touched his beard and said.

"Zhao Guogong, what do you mean?" One of the family heads looked at the eldest grandson Wuji very seriously and asked.

"There is no other meaning, let's do it first, since Your Majesty doesn't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it, you want to raise the price, it's okay to rise, you can force Your Majesty to the negotiating table, I believe that this may be better, since he believes Pepin, then let him wait." The eldest grandson Wuji didn't elaborate, but looked at the heads of the family and said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Those family heads nodded, the sentence that the eldest grandson Wuji missed just now has a deep meaning, but now everyone doesn't want to break it,

Soon those heads of the family returned to their residences in the capital, and they also thought that if they didn't go back, they would better wait until this matter was completely resolved, and go back, otherwise it would not be a matter to go back and forth!

In the afternoon of the same day, the price of salt in Chang'an City rose to 40 wen a catty, and those small cities that were less than half a day away from Chang'an also rose to 40 wen a catty.

The next morning, many places also began to rise to 40 yuan a catty, the people lined up and cursed, buying, too expensive, don't buy, not good, they scolded the family, but also scolded the court,

In normal times, the price of salt is 20 yuan a catty, but now it has doubled, and this doubling is very fierce, and the people can't bear it.

"Your Majesty, just now there is news from Chang'an City, the price of salt is already 40 yuan a catty, Your Majesty can't do this." Fang Xuanling rushed to the Ganlu Hall early in the morning and reported to Li Shimin.

"How much?" Li Shimin heard it, stood up suddenly, stared at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"Your Majesty, 40 wen yuan a catty, and the price reported from all over the place, those nearby places, are 40 wen yuan a catty, Your Majesty, you should talk to them, even if it is to stabilize them for a period of time." Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and persuaded him,

If the price rises like this, the people really can't stand it, the rich family, of course, it doesn't matter, anyway, a month, it can't consume much, but for the poor, this is unbearable.

"Okay, okay, the price has gone up!" Li Shimin walked with his hands behind his back and on the side of the Ganlu Palace.

"Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling still persuaded Li Shimin to speak.

"Well, come on, I'm going out of the palace and going to the salt lake, you go with me!" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling with a smile at the moment and said, Fang Xuanling didn't know how Li Shimin could laugh at this moment.

"Your Majesty, what's the use of going to the salt lake, now we urgently need a lot of salt, go to the salt lake, Pepin didn't get it, it's not that there is no way." Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and said anxiously.

"It's okay to go and see, let's go, it's very upset in the palace anyway, it's better to go out for a walk." Li Shimin persuaded Fang Xuanling and said,

Soon, Li Shimin's honor guard, as well as Wu Wei, began to escort Li Shimin to the Salt Lake, Cheng Chuhei, Fang Yiai, Yu Chi Baoqi, and Cheng Chuliang all wore armor and escorted Li Shimin with Wu Wei.

"Your Majesty actually went to the salt lake, what do you mean?" When the officials heard the news, they all started talking about it.

"I guess I still want to put a little pressure on Hu Guogong, but now I can't stand it here, the heads of the family said, if there is still no movement for five days, it will continue to rise to fifty wen a catty, and at that time, Your Majesty is estimated to be even more uncomfortable, salt, how can it be so easy to get, if it is easy to get, it will not be controlled by us for hundreds of years." One of the officials said proudly, this is the foundation of their family.

It doesn't matter if those family heads learn that Li Shimin is going to the salt lake, even if Qin Huaidao gets the salt now, it is impossible to satisfy the entire Tang Dynasty at once.

"Hu Guogong, Hu Guogong, I just received news that His Majesty's team is still 10 miles away from here!" A lieutenant ran quickly towards Qin Huaidao, and then shouted at Qin Huaidao.

"What? Your Majesty is coming? Okay, great, I'm able to go back! Qin Huaidao shouted happily when he heard the words of the captain, and then began to set his clothes, there was no way, he couldn't lose his manners in front of him.

"Tell the soldiers, don't wear armor, just change into working clothes, it's not okay to be shirtless, Your Majesty is here!" After Qin Huaidao put on his clothes, he shouted at those captains, and those captains also went to inform.

Qin Huaidao quickly ran to the door of the barracks and stood under a tree, it was already August, the eighth month of the lunar calendar, it was still so hot, and the sun was still so hot.

"It's coming, it's coming!" A lieutenant saw the convoy in the distance and immediately greeted him, and Qin Huaidao They also tidied up their clothes, now the soldiers can't wear armor, unless they are standing guard, otherwise, if they don't wear it, they can't stand it, if they wear armor, it is estimated that they can die in the armor.

Soon, Li Shimin's horse team arrived at the barracks, and Cheng Chuhei and they also turned over and dismounted, and waited in front of Li Shimin's carriage.

"Well, it's hot!" Li Shimin got out of the carriage and spoke.

"Erchen has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why did you come?" Qin Huaidao took Yu Chi Baoqi and those lieutenants to greet him, and said with a deep depression in his tone.

"Ah, I just came, didn't you say it would take about twenty days?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao and asked incomprehensibly.

"Erchen said, ten days is fine." Qin Huaidao looked up at Li Shimin and said affectionately.

"Oh, it's still 20 days, but, Pepin, why are you black like this, yo, Pauline is also black like this, basking in the sun every day?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao very happily and asked,

Soon, Fang Xuanling also came to Li Shimin's side, and Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, all came over.

"I've seen a few uncles!" Qin Huaidao said to them again.

"Excuse me, excuse me, when will you go back to Chang'an, those things, the old man has a headache to deal with, when you are here, the old man still doesn't think it, anyway, you deal with it, if you are not there, the old man will be miserable, and some of them can't understand it!" Zhang Liang stared at Qin Huaidao and asked, but Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin, this matter, he didn't count.

"Go back today, go, Pepin, go in and have a look!" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and said, knowing that he must have suffered here,

Soon, the group walked inside, and around the barracks in front of them, they saw the endless salt pans.

"This? This! Salt, is Your Majesty salt? Fang Xuanling looked at the white salt piled up on the shore and asked excitedly.

"So much?" Tang Jian was also shocked, they thought that Qin Huaidao hadn't come out, but what were those white flowers on the shore now?

"Well, Peping, take us to see, salt, do you know, now the family sells 40 yuan a catty, which is simply a scraper meat, and you know how to scrape it on the people." Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.

"Your Majesty, uncles, please!" Qin Huaidao smiled and led the way in front and said, Soon, they came to the side of the salt field, Fang Xuanling grabbed a handful of salt, took one, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

"It's salt, Your Majesty, it's salt!" Fang Xuanling said excitedly.

"Then can there be a fake?" Li Shimin smiled proudly and looked at the soldiers who were working in the salt fields.

"Your Majesty, they are quite able to bear hardships and stand hard work, and the ministers promised them, saying that as long as they work diligently, I will ask Your Majesty to reward them with no personal 2 yuan when the time comes." Qin Huaidao found that Li Shimin was looking at those soldiers, and immediately said good things to the soldiers next to him.

"2 money? 4 guan money, notify down, each soldier, 4 guan money reward, and the officer will be counted separately! Li Shimin turned his head to look at Qin Huaidao, and then said very arrogantly,

The soldiers not far away heard it, and they were quite excited and doubled.
