"Oh? And this matter, let's talk about it, what treasure does Tuyuhun have? Li Shimin asked with great interest.

Li You walked to the front of the map, pointed to the location of the Qaidam Basin, and said: "There are more than 100 large and small salt lakes in Tuyuhun, and among these salt lakes, the largest and most famous are the Chaka Salt Lake, the Zarkhan Salt Lake, and the Keke Salt Lake, all of which are distributed in the Qaidam Basin.

The salt of any one of these three salt lakes is enough for the entire Tang Dynasty to eat for hundreds of years. ”

Li Jing said: "Your Highness, the minister has long known that there is a salt lake there, but the salt is so bitter and unusually inedible that it cannot be eaten at all." ”

Li You smiled: "You are right, those salts cannot be eaten directly, but you have forgotten that the people take food as the sky, and I specialize in eating."

I have a way of turning this salt into edible salt, even better than the salt we eat now.

Tell me, with so much salt, have we made a fortune? ”

"What, Your Highness actually knows how to make salt?!" Fang Xuanling said in surprise.

Li You smiled and said: "Father, Erchen is a foodie, he doesn't know anything, he will eat, everything related to food, Erchen is very familiar with it." ”

Li Shimin was also excited, and he said: "Okay, good, just for these salts, this battle is worth it." ”

After speaking, he said decisively: "Li You, you are responsible for negotiating with Tuyuhun, and you must control these salt lakes in the hands of Datang." ”

"The retainers obey." Li You responded.

Li You walked out of the study, and when he arrived at the side hall, he saw Murong Ling waiting for him anxiously, and as soon as he saw him, he asked eagerly: "How is it, what did Your Majesty say, can you help us Tuguhun?" ”

Li You said: "Wife, don't worry, your business is my business." For your sake, I have worn out my tongue, and finally said that my father was moved, and he had promised to send troops. ”

"Really? Great!" Murong Ling became excited.

Li You smiled: "How is it, wife, how should I reward your husband?" ”

As he spoke, he leaned over and pointed to his cheek.

Murong Ling pushed him with a red face and said, "Let's go back quickly, I want to write a letter to tell my brother." ”

Li You said: "Don't worry, there is something I haven't told you yet." ”

Murong Ling asked, "What's the matter, tell me quickly." ”

Li You said: "Don't worry, go back and say." ”

Murong Ling said angrily: "You are really a person, if you have something to say, hurry up, you are in a hurry to die." ”

Li You smiled: "I won't say it, suffocate you." ”

Murong Ling was so angry that he gave him a pink fist, and Li You exclaimed: "Oh, murder your husband!" ”

"There are assassins!"

Several warriors in front of the hall heard Li You's ghost cry and hurriedly came over with swords and guns to check.

Li You smiled: "It's none of your business, let's disperse." ”

Qi Wangfu.

Back in the mansion, Murong Ling was still staring at Li You and asked, "You say, what is the matter?" ”

Li You said: "The matter of sending troops has been decided, but I'm afraid the time will have to be pushed back, and it will be the end of the year." ”

"What? How's that going to work? Murong Ling was anxious.

Li You said: "You also know the situation in my court, you have just experienced drought and plague, and you have helped Tuyuhun to fight, you are poor, you have no money to fight."

In order to raise military expenses, time has to be delayed. ”

Murong Ling was anxious, stood up and said, "When you raise funds, the rebels have already come." ”

Li You said: "It's not that there is no way, it's just that my father said that you Tuyuhun must show some sincerity." ”

Murong Ling said, "What do you want?" We're in such a difficult situation now, nothing? ”

Li You said: "Yes, you Tuyuhun has a lot of salt lakes, if you are willing to cooperate with me to develop them, not only will we have military expenses in Datang, but you will also be able to spend money in Tuyuhun." ”

Murong Ling asked suspiciously, "Those salt lakes?" Did it work? ”

Li You smiled: "It's useless to you, but it's useful to me." As long as you agree to cooperate in development, I am sure to persuade my father to send troops as soon as possible. ”

Murong Ling is now on fire, do you still care about those useless salt lakes? Once the rebels came, there was nothing.

She said, "I agree, what do you say?" ”

Li You said: "Let's sign an agreement, the salt lake in Tuyuhun will be jointly developed by the Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun, and all operations will be taken care of by the Tang Dynasty.

You've made a big bargain. ”

Murong Ling asked, "Can those salt lakes really make money?" ”

Li You said: "It's useless to give it to you, just give it to me." ”

Murong Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Then, Sanqi Kai." ”

Li You sighed: "You, you really want money and don't want to die, when is it, and you are still so careful?!" ”

Murong Ling said, "You are not my old ...... My brother, can't you let me order? ”

In fact, Li You's target position is to open three or seven, if the disparity is too great, there will definitely be trouble in the future.

After all, the salt lake is on other people's territory, and when the time comes, you will not be able to do it if you put a little obstacle on it.

He smiled: "Forget it, for the sake of you being my wife, I will let you make it another percent, even if it is a bride price for you." ”

The two discussed a few more details and soon reached an agreement.

Murong Ling was in a hurry and asked to sign an agreement immediately, so they called Tian Min and asked him to draft an agreement.

In order to make things easier, when Murong Ling came, Murong Bo asked her to bring a blank document stamped with a jade seal and fill in the content on it.

Li You said: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to find my father and the emperor to stamp the jade seal of the Tang Dynasty." And that was it.

Rest assured, the matter of sending troops will definitely be on time. You can report to your brother. ”

Murong Ling was very happy, and immediately drafted the paperwork, and asked Baihu to take the paperwork to meet Hao Lianbot who came from behind, and asked him to send someone back to Tuguhun.

After doing these things, Murong Ling relaxed and began to talk and laugh with Li You.

Li You said: "Wife, the mission of the Tubo people is in Chang'an, and they are also here for you Tuyuhun, they ask to take my princess of the Tang Dynasty and establish friendly relations with the Tang Dynasty, just to avoid the Tang Dynasty interfering in the affairs of Tuyuhun." ”

When he said this, Murong Ling was a little anxious again. She said: "You have to talk about credit, didn't you say that you will send troops?" ”

Li You smiled: "That matter is decided. Hey, how about it, do you want us to pit the Tibetan people together? ”

Murong Ling was interested in this, and she said, "Okay, what do you say?" ”

Li You said: "Let's ...... like this"

Murong Ling said, "Okay, no problem. ”

Li You smiled: "It's worthy of being my wife." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Li You asked her to rest first.

After Murong Ling left, Li You came to the kitchen.
