Chapter Seventy-Three: The Advent of Refined Salt

"I said Yang Gongzi, it's almost dark this day, my old Cheng has lost a lot of land on your wife's side, and Brother Feng and I have also finished docking, is your eldest brother still coming?!"

Cheng Biting Jin is very anxious, among his sons, he values Cheng Chumo the most, in case something happens to him the first time he leads the troops, he can't go home and kneel the washboard flat? !

"Even if you don't let a few of us go, your wine will be full for us, so it's boring to stay and wait!"

Yang Ming arched his hand and said to several generals present:

"To tell you the truth, when Ling Lang had an accident, my eldest brother was accompanying me through the catastrophe, and his energy consumption was relatively large, and no one expected this to happen, so he was also tired of coping, and it might take a long time!"

Feng Li's eyes were sharp, and he felt the difference from the moment he entered the door, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't tell what was different.

"No wonder I always have a different feeling after I enter the door, it turns out that Brother Yang's martial arts have improved again, congratulations to Brother Yang for his success!"

Feng Chun is stupid, how big is this Yang Ming, the internal force is unfathomable, how can he succeed in the blink of an eye? ! This still makes him a general who leads troops to fight confused!

He used to think that his martial arts could be regarded as passing if he could fight five at a time, but after seeing the strength of Lin Wan'er and Ding Daniu, he began to feel inferior, feeling that the outside world was so dangerous, and he wanted to go back to Chang'an to play.

Cheng Biting Jin looked left and right, looking more funny than funny.

"Young Master Yang also practices martial arts?!"

After Yang Ming invited Jin Zhiyuan to say a few words in his ear, he replied modestly:

"Little brother knows a little bit about it!"

When Jin Zhiyuan admitted that they were the concubines of the Yang family from Yang Ming's mouth, she was so happy that she didn't want to. Now Yang Ming has something to order, and he is very active in his work, and he immediately ran out of the tent...

After Feng Li saw Yang Ming's terrifying internal force, he said to Cheng Yanjin:

"Brother Cheng, I'll just tell you a brief! Yang Gongzi's strength is unfathomable, far above me! ”

"What?!"

Cheng Yanjin touched Yang Ming's small body, in addition to his appearance and height, his physique is a little strong, there is nothing else special? !

While speaking, Ding Da Niu carried Sun Simiao into the tent!

Cheng Chumo had already been rescued by Sun Simiao, but Sun Simiao was still angry with Yang Ming, leaning on the bedside and falling asleep unconsciously!

How can anyone in his eighties go to ride a fast horse, do you say that he is angry?

When everyone saw that Sun Simiao was carried in by Ding Da Niu, they were all taken aback and said one after another.

"! Isn't this Doctor Sun?! ”

"Young Master Yang, this person is Doctor Sun, and he can't be hurt!"

"Brother Yang, hurry up and let Ding Daniu put down Doctor Sun, don't hurt anyone, if you have something to say!"

Yang Ming stared at Ding Da Niu speechlessly, and asked weakly:

"What the hell is going on?!"

After Ding Daniu put down Sun Simiao, he spread his hands:

"I don't know, Miss Jin asked me to go to Doctor Sun, as soon as I entered the door, I found Doctor Sun sleeping next to Cheng Chumo, didn't this just carry him over!"

Feng Li: 。。。。。。

Cheng Yanjin: 。。。。。。

Feng Chun: 。。。。。。

"Brother Yang, the eldest brother you have been talking about is the predecessor of the divine doctor Sun Simiao?!"

"Brother, how is the dog doing now?!"

"Brother Yang, there is a difference in age between you and Doctor Sun...

After Ding Da Niu carried Sun Simiao in, the inside of the tent exploded! A round of chatter woke up Sun Simiao.

"The old man has been busy all day and doesn't let people sleep!"

Sun Simiao turned over and froze, where am I? Where is this?!

"Meet Senior Sun!"

Cheng Yanjin, Feng Li, and Feng Chun spoke in unison and asked Sun Simiao to say goodbye.

"Old decay see General Cheng, General Feng!"

Sun Simiao rubbed his eyes and immediately got up to return the salute.

Lao Tzu is sleeping well, it is estimated that Yang Ming and these two goods made people carry me over, Sun Simiao glared at Yang Ming viciously!

"If what you give me can't satisfy me, Hugh will let me ride a fast horse to Chang'an!"

Cheng Yanjin: 。。。。。。

Feng Li: 。。。。。。

Feng Chun: 。。。。。。

What the hell is the situation, Yang Ming can actually crush Doctor Sun to death?!

In feudal society, doctors were so respected because every family had some major and minor illnesses that needed to be treated by others.

Their group of nobles and generals did not dare to offend the divine doctor, who could guarantee that one day Long Yan would be angry and suffered from the board or was injured on the battlefield without asking Sun Simiao. What's more, they are also afraid that their family will have some serious diseases, and Sun Simiao can be more down-to-earth in their hearts.

Yang Ming didn't pay attention to everyone's thoughts, and just asked everyone present to take out the salt he was carrying.

After Cheng Yanjin saw Yang Ming's power, although he was puzzled, he still rummaged through his body.

"Young Master Yang, I didn't bring salt cubes, they were all on the guards, if I needed them, I would let them in!"

Feng Li and Feng Chun spread their hands, indicating that they didn't carry them with them. Do high-ranking generals like them have to bring salt cubes in person?!

Sun Simiao twisted his head and snorted, obviously he didn't bring it either.

Kim Ji-ni walked up from the side very familiarly, put the salt cube and a small black bag on the desk in the middle of the tent, and then retreated.

"Everyone, is this piece of salt in my hand the piece of salt that the Datang military and civilians eat every day?!"

Yang Ming strode forward, picked up the salt cube and asked everyone.

At this time, the salt and iron of the Tang Dynasty are controlled by the government, and the price is very expensive.

The others didn't know how to reply, but Sun Simiao sprayed directly:

"Daily consumption?! How many people do you see in White Tiger Village who can eat salt cubes?! Just the piece in your hand is enough for your brother to use for a while! There are hardly many ordinary people in the people who can afford it! ”

The three generals nodded, expressing their approval of Sun Simiao's statement.

Yang Ming was also very satisfied, so he casually opened the small black bag on his right-hand side, and threw it all on the table in one go.

"Bang bang bang . . .

The white fine salt is like layers of snowflakes, piled up into a small mountain pile and displayed in front of everyone.

Everyone was puzzled, and stepped forward to watch, staring at this pile of small things.

"This is?!"

Yang Ming smiled slightly and motioned for everyone to try it.

Under Sun Simiao's leadership, each person glued a handful and sent it to his mouth. Cheng Biting Jin is different, grabbing a handful with his right hand, and then stretching out his tongue to lick it in the palm of his hand!

"Wow! It's salty, it's salt?! ”

"Water, water, girl, hurry up and fill me with a cup of tea!"

When Cheng bit Jin Yang and took the teacup to rinse his mouth, Yang Ming put on the appearance of a master outside the world, and said in a voice that was worried about the country and the people:

"The reason why we Han people have been harassed by foreign races is that the lack of horses is one thing, and the most important thing is the physical strength of the warriors."

"The soldiers fought bravely on the battlefield, bleeding and sweating, but their physical strength could not be replenished, and their combat effectiveness decreased significantly. The vast number of people who work in the fields every day, they can't afford to eat salt, where do they have the strength to work? ”

"After thinking about it, I found a new way of practicing salt, which can not only improve the efficacy of salt, but also greatly reduce the price, so that every household in Datang can buy and eat!"

Cheng Yanjin smiled, a little disagreeable that Yang Ming, a pampered son, would know the market.

"Then how does Yang Gongzi price this kind of salt?!"

Yang Ming smiled without saying a word, and stretched out two fingers.

"A small black bag of two copper coins?!"

Sun Simiao, Feng Li and others also felt that Yang Ming's fine salt tasted better, and they were also looking forward to the final price.

After Yang Ming looked around, he arched his hand and said to Sun Simiao:

"If the eldest brother is willing to accompany General Feng into Beijing to face the saint, by the way, inform the Turks of the dynamics. The younger brother is willing to offer Li Shimin the method of practicing salt, and guarantees that within a year, the refined salt of Datang will be sold at the price of 200 copper coins per catty. Two years later, the technology will mature, and the refined salt will be reduced to 20 copper coins per catty! ”

As soon as Yang Ming's words fell, the tent exploded again. A pound of refined salt is 20 copper coins, not to mention that people eat it, even if you feed the pigs, you can afford to feed it!

"Brother Xian's words are serious?! No jokes! ”

After Sun Simiao was happy, he cautiously asked again. This is a saint, and he won't be able to wipe his ass when he talks nonsense.

"Big brother rest assured, as long as the emperor can send personnel from the Ministry of Industry, within a year, everyone is guaranteed to be able to learn. A year later, after I left, I also hope that the emperor can promote it to the whole country and reduce the price! ”

Yang Ming didn't expect that this patriotic move would later make him enter the political arena and cause him to be killed, but this is a later story!

When everyone heard this, they were very happy, and they raised their teacups one after another, and greatly appreciated Yang Ming's selfless dedication!

At this time, Jin Zhiyuan walked into the tent, muttered a few words in Yang Ming's ear, and then withdrew from the big tent.

Yang Ming picked up the few remaining wines in the jar, and after filling a bowl for everyone, he said to Cheng Yanjin:

"Su Guogong, dare to ask what is the price of this fine wine in Chang'an?!"

Cheng Yanjin raised his head again and took a sip of the wine, waiting for Sun Simiao for this time, but he was hungry to death, and he couldn't see it.

"Young Master Yang, this fine wine is priceless! As far as my Lao Cheng is concerned, as long as the wine is good, I am willing to buy it as much as I want! ”

Yang Ming touched his chin and thought for a while:

"If it's in a small bottle, can a bottle always sell?!"

"What's the bottle?! We don't have bottles in Datang, they are generally filled with wine jugs or jars, and I haven't seen bottles before! ”

Yang Ming: It's another way to make a fortune!

"Did anyone use a gourd to fill the wine?"

"Those who use gourds to fill wine are generally high-ranking people like Sun Shenyi, who have traveled all over the world, and ordinary people can't afford to buy so much wine if they haven't even solved their daily food and clothing."

Yang Ming shook his eyebrows at Cheng Jin, and said with a cheap smile:

"Su Guogong is willing to partner in the wine business, you have a place and I have wine, one jar is ten, ten jars are limited to a month, and each person is limited to one jar per day. For every jar sold, a beautiful glass bottle will be given! ”

Cheng Yanjin was stunned, this kid wants to partner with me to do business?

"Young Master Yang, the price of such a fine wine is not expensive, but will it lose money with this glass bottle! These glass things are all brought by big food merchants, and the price is very expensive! ”

Yang Ming waved his hand and said to Cheng Yanjin:

"Su Guogong, please rest assured, the glass bottle is provided by me, and I will also provide you with twelve jars of wine every month, and the extra two jars will depend on how Su Guogong publicizes the effect!"

"Then how does Yang Gongzi plan to settle this share?!"

"The younger brother provides wine and glass accounting for ninety percent, Su Guogong is responsible for the sale, and the other two jars of fine wine account for one percent. . . ."
