At noon, outside the Tai Chi Palace

Before noon, Feng Daiwen was already waiting outside the Taiji Palace with a few boxes of gifts.

After a while, a little eunuch came to report: "Little grandfather, the saint has summoned,"

"Thank you, father-in-law", Feng Daiwen handed over a piece of gold without a trace and said, "Dare to ask father-in-law where the saint was summoned."

The little eunuch took the gold and said with a smile: "Back to the little grandfather, the saint was summoned in the imperial study, and the saint was quite happy today."

This is the benefit of dotting, immediately knowing Li Yuan's mood, Feng Daiwen's heart couldn't help but relax, "There is Lao Gonggong", Feng Daiwen thanked him and said.

Outside the imperial study, Li Yuan's personal eunuch Huang Gonggong was already waiting here, and when he saw Feng Daiwen, he immediately greeted him with a smile and said: "The little grandfather is here, the saint is called, the little grandfather is here, please come in directly, and the little grandfather will come in with the old slave."

Feng Daiwen also smiled and said, "Thank you Gonggong Huang", and secretly handed over a string of pearls in his hand.

Li Yuan, who entered the imperial study, was reviewing the folds, "Weichen Feng Daiwen knocked on the saint, the saint Wan'an", Feng Daiwen stepped forward and saluted.

"Feng Qing's family is here, sit down", Li Yuan raised his head and smiled and put down the red pen in his hand and said.

"Thank you sage", Feng Daiwen thanked Shili, "I don't know what the sage summoned Weichen to order", Feng Daiwen said respectfully to Li Yuan.

"Lingnan is located in a wilderness, and the Ru family has worked hard for several generations, and now it has finally been completely pacified, which is really a merit in the present and a benefit in the future," Li Yuan sighed kindly.

Feng Daiwen said respectfully: "Sage, you have won the award, this is the duty of a minister."

"Duty, duty is rare", Li Yuan didn't know what he thought, and said a little sadly: "Aiqing, can you explain the current situation in Lingnan for me in detail."

Feng Daiwen hugged his fists and said: "Zun Sheng, the land of Lingnan has a mature two-crop rice experience, there is no worry of famine at present, all tribes are subservient to the Tang Dynasty, and they are also very obedient to the local instructions, although the sea salt technology is not mature, but it is also enough for the local use of Lingnan, and all ethnic groups in Lingnan should have no worries about rebellion from now on, but Lingnan is located in the border wilderness, and there are Linyi, Zhenla, South China Sea and other countries around it, all ethnic groups are eyeing each other, and the Weichen family swears to die for the Tang Dynasty, protect Lingnan for the saint, for the Tang Dynasty, and be loyal to the saint. In addition, this time, Weichen came to Beijing to bring all the sea salt from Lingnan to offer to the saints. Feng Daiwen said impassionedly:

"Sea salt?" Li Yuan was puzzled?

Feng Daiwen took out a tube of sea salt and handed it to Huang Gonggong,

Gonggong Huang opened the bamboo tube and dipped his fingers in it to taste, then handed it to Li Yuan and said, "Sage, this is really better than refined salt, there is no bitter taste."

Li Yuan poured out a little, looked at the snow-white salt, tasted it too, and couldn't help but stare at Feng Daiwen with bright eyes and asked, "How did Aiqing get this sea salt, it may be produced in large quantities?"

Feng Daiwen shook his head and sighed: "Back to the sage, Weichen is ashamed, this sea salt is boiled for salt, it has to go through a lot of processes, the current technology is not mature, this time the 500,000 stone sea salt has been Lingnan stock for two years." At present, Lingnan is researching more mature technology, and in a year or two when the technology is mature, it will be dedicated to saints, and then the world will be free of people who cannot afford to eat salt." Feng Daiwen took out the rhetoric against Li Shimin again. Of course, it didn't say that sea salt could still be dried, nor did it say that 500,000 stone was just a month's output. What outsiders see is boiled, and that is not enough for local use in Lingnan.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can still afford to wait for a year or two, it turned out to be boiling the sea for salt, there are records in ancient books, I originally thought it was just the imagination of the ancients, how can the sea be cooked! Fortunately, Aiqing found this way. Li Yuan in turn comforted Feng Daiwen.

Feng Daiwen said: "The saint is wise, Bo Gu is well-informed, thank you for the sage's understanding, this time Weichen also prepared some small gifts for the saint", after speaking, he ordered the guards outside to carry in a few boxes.

"Enlighten the saint, the name of this thing is called the folding fan, which is specially made by Weichen for the saint", after speaking, he handed Li Yuan a special large folding fan, writing a huge Tang character on one side, and writing four big characters on the other side, surrounded by nine dragons, and then took a blank folding fan for Li Yuan to demonstrate the opening and closing, and handed it to Li Yuan complimentingly: "Wechen implores the saint to leave some ink treasure for Weichen's folding fan",

Li Yuan also liked it very much when he saw it, "Okay, this thing is wonderful", after speaking, he picked up the red pen and wrote the four big characters "Jing Loyal and Defend the Country" on Feng Daiwen's folding fan, handed it to Feng Daiwen and said: "This is my expectation of you, and it is also an affirmation of your Feng family."

Feng Daiwen happily took the folding fan, solemnly put it into the box, and introduced after opening the other boxes: "Thank you sage, Wechen must live up to the grace of the saint, there are 200 lady fans made of agarwood are dedicated by Wechen to the palace to a lady, the princess, and it will be distributed by the sage."

Li Yuan saw that Feng Daiwen was so sensible, and the Feng family had a lot of credit this time, so he said loudly: "Summoned, the Feng family has been loyal and good for generations, and posthumously named Mrs. Xi as Mrs. Yipin Haoming, Feng Angjin was the founder of Wu Guogong, and Meng Yizi was a county man, and Feng An's second son Feng Daiwen was specially given to defend the country."

Feng Daiwen was moved to bow down, and said excitedly: "Weichen is the grandmother of the family, and the father of the family worships the saint, and the minister is very grateful, and he will do his best for my Tang Dynasty and die."

"Aiqing, get up," Li Yuan was very satisfied with Feng Daiwen's attitude, and the two chatted for a few hours in the imperial study, and saw that Feng Daiwen did not say goodbye to Li Yuan and leave the palace until Li Yuan was tired.
