When Qin Hao went down to Yangzhou, he and Li Tai took a boat down the river slowly, but when he returned to Chang'an, he rode back on a horse overnight, without a beautiful maid, no wine, no comfortable bed, even Wang Fangyi stayed in Yangzhou, and was appointed by Li Tai as a secretary of the Governor's Mansion to deal with some messy chores as exercise.

This is the first time Qin Hao has been on the road for such a long time since he learned to ride a horse, he only feels that his waist is sore and his back hurts, and he has cramps all over his body, but there is no way, the pit he dug has to be filled with tears.

In this way, Li Shimin didn't pity him at all, just went home, and before he had time to hug his wife, he was called away by the eunuch.

It's a loss to think about it, I made more than 10 million stone salt by myself, all of which were used to build big ships for the imperial court, how can I say that it can be regarded as a great hero, and when I came back, there were no flowers to pave the way and sprinkle water to welcome guests, and there was no beautiful young lady to throw in my arms, at least you gave a few words of verbal encouragement, but as a result, Li Shimin looked at his expression, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.

"Coming back? You should be the master who gave the prince a dream. ”

Qin Hao pretended to be stupid and said, "Master? What a master, I don't know, I'm not a master, although I single-handedly got a navy, developed Luoyang and Yangzhou without spending a copper plate on the imperial court, but this is what I should do. ”

Li Shimin was angry and said, "Why, listen to what you mean, there is resentment." ”

"No, no, it is the duty of the ministers to contribute to the court, the ministers, oh no, now they are the grass people, and the grass people dare not be greedy."

Li Shimin said helplessly: "Okay, I remember what you did for the court, I can't treat you badly when you are rewarded for meritorious deeds, this time I am in a hurry to find you back, I want to ask you, why don't you let the salt be issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" You should know how important the salt introduction of more than 10 million yuan a year is to the imperial court and the people, and it must be in the hands of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in any case. ”

Qin Hao continued to pretend to be stupid and said, "What? Holy Lord, you are wronging me, the Qing Gang is drying salt for the sake of building ships for the imperial court, but you don't dare to be selfish, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is going to take over, and our Qing Gang will save trouble, how can I disagree? ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Didn't you instruct the prince to block the Ministry of Civil Affairs from issuing salt citations?" ”

Qin Hao shook his head and said, "No, how can the grass people have the ability to instruct the prince?" ”

Li Shimin looked at Qin Hao's seemingly innocent eyes, and he was angry in his stomach, and he couldn't wait to go down and kick him twice, but in fact, Li Chengqian's opposition to Yan Yin at least seemed to have nothing to do with Qin Hao.

Therefore, Li Shimin had to ask: "I plan to use the Ministry of Civil Affairs to issue salt quotations instead of the Qing Gang, and according to the output, 10 million stones will be issued every year, what do you think?" ”

"This is a great thing, Holy Lord, 10 million a year, there is absolutely no problem with the Green Gang."

"You... Agree? ”

"yes."

Li Shimin was stunned, what is the situation? Could it be that this is just a means to return to Chang'an? No, doing so is tantamount to playing me, playing the prince, this kid can never do things so lightly and seriously, could it really be Cheng Qian's own meaning? Did they really break up? It shouldn't be, after all, I've been watching them, and I haven't heard of any contradictions between the two, and even if they break up, Cheng Qian's wisdom will not be low to this level.

"Holy Lord, you see that I came home without even having time to eat, if there is nothing to do, isn't it..."

"Get out of here, get out of here."

Li Shimin really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Qin Hao and Li Chengqian's gourd were selling, but it didn't matter, just go to the East Palace and beat the prince.

………………

"Cuckoo~Cuckoo~"

At night, from some corner there was a bird's call, and it was so ugly that it could be heard if you listened carefully a little closely, and it was pretended to be human.

Qin Hao sighed helplessly, this is so special except for Li Chengqian's second goods, there can't be anyone else, can't you think of a novel joint method?

took the ladder, climbed down the wall, and said without resentment: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what are you doing, if you have anything to say, call me into the East Palace to say, I am really anxious that you can walk through the main gate for half a day." ”

"Huh? Aren't we pretending to break up? ”

"Who pretended to break with you, how can your comprehension ability be similar to those secretaries around Li Tai."

"That... If you don't pretend to break up, then why would you agree with the Ministry of Civil Affairs to issue salt? Didn't you tell me that you had to oppose the Ministry of Civil Affairs to issue salt no matter what? I thought you had some deep meaning, today my father personally whipped me with a horsewhip, and I bit it to death without saying anything, so I didn't come to you to discuss it quickly. ”

Forehead..... It was too dark to see clearly just now, Qin Hao noticed that Li Chengqian had several whip marks on his face, and it was estimated that there would definitely be more and not less on his body, but he didn't expect Li Er to really do it, this was his own son.

"I'm sorry for you, but it's okay, the harder the saint beats you today, the more guilty you will feel when you think about it in the future, and the more it shows that your ability is strong, which is a good thing."

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "Brother, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd, since you said that the distribution of salt will cause chaos in the world, why do you still agree?" What is the deep meaning here, you have to tell me, don't you say that I can't sleep well now, it's nothing to get two whips, but do you know that there are already people in the government and the opposition who are secretly talking about the prince Lone is an idiot. ”

Qin Hao smiled and asked, "What are you against?" ”

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs issued a salt citation"

"What do I agree with?"

"It's also the Ministry of Civil Affairs that issues salt citations."

"No, what you object to is the issuance of salt quotations by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and what I agree with is the issuance of 10 million stone salt quotations by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, these are two things, so there is actually no conflict between you and me, and we have not broken up, and you are not an idiot."

Li Chengqian seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said, "This 。。。。。 What's the difference? Could it be 。。。。。 Do you think the Ministry of Civil Affairs will only issue 10 million stone of salt? ”

Qin Hao nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I meant." ”

"Impossible, the salt pan can only produce 10 million stone salt per year, and he can still send 20 million? Although Dai Zhou is newly promoted, he is not a fool. ”

Seeing Qin Hao smile and said, "Do you think that the salt is really just convenient for merchants and ordinary people to carry salt?" I ask you, what is the use of the useless things of copper, except for the ability to make bronze mirrors, and why can they be minted into copper coins to buy and sell things? Silk is used for clothing, why is it that it is cut into pieces and becomes useless, but it can still be used as copper coins? The salt quote is a voucher for taking salt, why do many people now use it as collateral and repay it with horseshoe money? If you don't understand these three questions, you will be reckless, and you will be bloody. ”
