In the early dynasty, a group of people began to talk at length again.

There is a group of dreamers, a group of artists, a group of careerists, a group of visionaries, and a group of people who eat and wait for death.

Cheng Chubi is one of them, now he is just waiting to get off the court, go back to eat and make up for sleep, and every time he comes to the court, he has to get up early, which makes Cheng Chubi quite helpless.

The occasional quarrel at the court meeting failed to arouse Cheng Chubi's interest.

"Your Majesty!" A sharp voice pierced the bustle of the hall, and I saw a civil official with a monkey with a sharp beak and a goat's beard, who knew at a glance that it was not a good thing, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach Lu Guogong." ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and he didn't know whether he didn't like his impeachment of Lu Guogong, or he didn't like this person in the first place.

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Lu Guogong, impeached Lu Guogong for abandoning his wife, which is unkind and unjust." The other party ignored the strange stares around him and said loudly.

"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yanjin and couldn't help asking, "Lu Guogong, is there such a thing?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know." Cheng Yanjin pretended to be surprised and asked, "Xu Shilang, where did you start talking about this?" When did so-and-so abandon his wife? My wife has been sitting at home, and you see, my sons are sitting there, and when have I abandoned them? ”

"So-and-so is not talking about your wife and children, but about another wife and children." The other party said loudly.

"Then please come quickly." Cheng Yanjin looked indifferent.

"Humph!" The other party's face couldn't help showing a hint of pride, and said: "Lu Guogong married a wife and had children in Wagangzhai back then, and later made a fortune, so he married Qinghe Cui's wife, yesterday the son-in-law came to the door, not only did he not recognize each other, but also drove the son-in-law out of the house, how can such a person with a human face and a beast's heart, a person with a loss of virtue be able to serve as the prince of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Oh? I still don't know that I still have a wife and children in Wagangzhai, I don't know who their names are? The smile on Cheng Yanjin's face became even stronger.

"Your original name is called Hua Dajiao, and your son is Cheng Yingying." After the literati finished speaking, he glanced at Cheng Yanjin proudly, as if he was proud that he had discovered something huge.

However, when the people who defected to Li Shimin in Wagangzhai heard this, they couldn't help laughing one by one, and even Li Shimin himself couldn't help but shake his head and said with a smile: "Xu Qingke sit down, don't lose your eyes here." ”

"This ...... This ......" He wanted to say something more, but the person next to him looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot, so he had no choice but to sit down, and then looked at Cheng Yanjin viciously.

At the same time, Cheng Yanjin looked at the other party with a smile on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to distribute the money again, but there is not much money and grain in the treasury, for this reason, this year's money is replaced by salt, what do you think?" Li Shimin looked at these ministers, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of playfulness.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but talk about it, this method is doable, because at this time, salt is also very precious and valuable.

Originally, official salt was cheap, but when the five surnames and seven wangs began to join, the price of salt increased steadily, and now many people can't eat salt. Therefore, the salt merchants of this era are full of fat brains one by one.

Now the salt that people can eat in the market is coarse salt, some slightly yellowed salt blocks, which contain a lot of impurities, and the taste is bitter in addition to salty, but even so, it is an urgent life-saving thing for the family.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if this salt is coarse or fine?" A figure stood up and asked, this is a poor literati, and the family's living expenses depend on their own money.

"Naturally it's refined salt." Li Shimin said with a slight smile.

"I don't know how many stones?"

"Be the same as your pardon, and at the same time give a stone of refined salt."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The other party's face couldn't help but be extremely happy, salt in this era is more expensive than grain, special refined salt, it is even more expensive for thieves, and ordinary nobles can't afford to eat it.

One stone, that's more than 100 catties, and it's enough for a family to eat for several years when it is replaced with rice.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

“……”

The ministers couldn't help but shout loudly, and the officials headed by the five surnames and Qiwang secretly pursed their lips one by one, refined salt? Salt for money? I think you're crazy about money, aren't you? Do you have that much salt?

These people with five surnames and seven hopes absolutely do not believe that Li Shimin can have so much salt, and the salt wells in the world are concentrated in the hands of the five surnames and seven hopes, and the five surnames and seven hopes dare not say that they can let everyone in the hall here have one stone of refined salt.

However, at this moment, a group of soldiers walked in from outside the hall, each with a cloth bag in their hands, and took the cloth bag to the ministers and put it down.

A minister couldn't help but wonder on his face, what was in this bag?

A civil servant carefully opened the bag, and there were snowflakes inside, he picked it up and tasted it, and then the whole person screamed excitedly.

"It's salt! It's salt, it's refined salt, it's refined salt! ”

"It's really salt, it's really refined salt! It's whiter than the salt circulating outside, and it's salty. ”

"It's really refined salt, so much refined salt, it's really refined salt!"

“……”

The ministers couldn't help but show great joy on their faces, as if they had won a jackpot of several millions, and Cheng Chubi couldn't help but secretly mix their mouths.

Turtles, what a group of turtles, aren't they just a bag of salt? Need to be so happy?

Wang Jue originally looked indifferent, but after hearing the voices of the ministers, he quickly opened the cloth bag next to him, picked up some refined salt and tasted it, and then his whole face couldn't help but stool.

At the same time, the same face changed dramatically, as well as those civil officials with five surnames and seven hopes, they seemed to have thought of something.

"Hahaha......" Seeing that the person with the five surnames and Qiwang suddenly turned pale, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, and said: "The eldest grandson has a good way of making salt and rewards green fruits." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji's face showed an extremely happy smile, and at this time, a eunuch was holding a golden plate with some tender olives in it, looking at the olives, the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes lit up.

"It's another old turtle, isn't it just a plate of olives? What's there to be proud of? Cheng Chubi pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

Olives, also known as green fruits, were a rare tribute that only royalty and nobility could afford to eat in this era.

Everyone guessed it right, it was indeed salt. Everyone support a lot, and if you have a vote, please vote quickly.
