Chapter 11: Meritorious

Early the next morning, Qin Tai hurried to the Qin Mansion.

The county ordered Chen Gu not to let him Zhang Yang's grain, so he naturally didn't dare to Zhang Yang, but he wanted to talk to Qin Yu about such a big thing.

And in his heart, there is excitement and incomprehension, and he is always uneasy if he doesn't tell his master.

When he came to the Qin Mansion, Qin Yu was having breakfast with Qin Rou and his wife.

"Lord, lord, grain, grain ......"

"What's wrong with the grain?" Seeing that Qin Tai was so anxious, Qin Yu opened his mouth to ask.

"The grain was sold, and one stone of grain was 130 yuan, and my uncle made more than 1,000 yuan."

After Qin Tai said this, Qin Yu and Qin Rou were stunned for a moment, a little unable to believe their ears, in their opinion, they would definitely lose money, so Cui Shaoqing actually made more than a thousand yuan?

It doesn't sound like it's true.

In this case, who would buy so much grain, and still buy it at this price?

"What the hell is going on?" Qin Rou asked with some curiosity, Qin Tai's side, although excited, he still hurriedly told him what happened last night.

"The prefectural commander came in person?" Qin Yu's expression moved slightly, he has been in business for many years, this vision is naturally not comparable to Qin Tai, there are many things that Qin Tai can't see, but he can see it.

He didn't believe in the dignified Wannian County Order, and he would do something like last night for the sake of the two businessmen.

From this, it can be seen that the identities of those two people are not ordinary.

"The Imperial Court?" Qin Yu suddenly remembered the imperial court, which was very likely to be the imperial court to purchase grain, and then he thought of the money and grain tribute that their Tang Dynasty gave to the Turks.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu understood everything.

"No wonder, no wonder, Shaoqing, this kid, still has such vision?"

Hearing this, Qin Tai hurriedly asked, "Master, what's going on?" ”

"You still remember last year's Weishui Alliance, at this time it was just a year, our court wanted to give money and grain to the Turks, the court was afraid that there was a shortage of food, but it didn't want to cause food price turmoil, so it could only be secretly purchased from the big grain merchants.

As soon as Qin Yu said this, everyone immediately understood, and everyone couldn't help but have some admiration for Cui Shaoqing.

can think that Cui Shaoqing just pretended to marry Qin Rou, Qin Yu and the others, they can only smile helplessly, how much Cui Shaoqing has achieved seems to have little to do with them.

And if they go to get closer to Cui Shaoqing because of this, it will inevitably make them lose face.

"Okay, you continue to work in the grain store, and if Shaoqing has any orders in the future, you just listen."

This time, Qin Tai hurriedly responded, without any reluctance, just with Cui Shaoqing's hand, it was worth him to do things for Cui Shaoqing.

Moreover, this is Qin Yu's arrangement, and he doesn't dare to disobey it, in his opinion, his lord must like his uncle, so he naturally has to listen to Cui Shaoqing's words more.

--------------------

Chang'an City, Imperial Palace.

To purchase grain, except for Cui Shaoqing, who went to him and Cheng Yanjin in person, the other grain merchants were all arranged by Li Ji, so they purchased all the food they needed within one day.

Although they were busy all night last night, Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin came early this morning.

"Holy Lord, after yesterday's day of procurement, the grain and grass needed by the imperial court have been completed, and it can be transported to the Turks on time, and there will never be any delay."

Hearing that this thing was done, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I know that when the British public goes out, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Li Jidao: "The things explained by the saint, the minister naturally does not dare to slack off, but these are nothing, the minister purchased grain this time, but met a strange person in Wannian County, this person will have a way to refine fine salt, you can make ten catties of coarse salt, and refine four catties of fine salt." ”

When these words came out, Chaozhong immediately became in an uproar.

"Don't be a joke in the UK, it's not easy to refine fine salt, ten catties of coarse salt can refine half a catty of fine salt, which is already good, you even said four catties, don't you think we are easy to deceive?"

"Yes, yes, above the main hall, don't be joking."

Everyone didn't believe what Li Ji said, Li Shimin didn't rush to make a statement, at this time, Cheng Yanjin rolled his eyes and said: "Are you kidding to lie to you, just try it on the spot, that strange person is a secret recipe offered, Holy Lord, how about we try it?" ”

Regarding Cui Shaoqing's secret recipe, Cheng Yanjin believed it even more, because he had tasted those delicacies made of fine salt.

Cheng Biting Jin shouted like this, Li Shimin also nodded, and said, "Then try it, if this method is really feasible, it will really benefit the country and the people." ”

Li Ji took out the secret recipe, and then, someone went to take ten catties of coarse salt, and then, according to the method described in the secret recipe, began to refine fine salt, the process was a little troublesome, but it didn't take much time.

Soon, the fine salt was refined, and it was weighed on the scale, just four catties.

When this result came out, everyone was stunned and a little incredulous.

And at this time, many of those who didn't believe just now had already come forward.

"Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint, with this method of refining fine salt, we Datang people can also eat fine salt, and the fine salt we refine can also be sold to other places, which is really beneficial to the country and the people for my Datang."

"Yes, Holy Lord, this move is really beneficial to the country and the people, and this is all the credit of the Holy One."

There are many people in the court who like to send sycophants, after these people spoke, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but roll his eyes, he really felt disgusted for these people, these people are simply too shameless.

"Shengshang, the refining method of this fine salt was offered by a scholar named Cui Shaoqing, and the minister thought that this person had meritorious service and should be rewarded."

Although Cui Shaoqing made a lot of money, Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin still had a very good impression of Cui Shaoqing, and they also missed the meals made by Cui Shaoqing, which was really delicious.

Now that Cui Shaoqing's secret recipe is proved to be true, then they naturally want to ask for credit and reward for Cui Shaoqing.

Li Ji said this, and others couldn't oppose it, after all, this is indeed a great merit, and if it is not rewarded, it will inevitably be criticized.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "What the British public said is good, since this is the case, then reward Cui Shaoqing for his background as a jinshi and appoint him as a ...... Wannian County. ”
