Chapter Seventy-Nine: Uncle, we are surrounded by a group of
Feng Deyi was stunned, and the jade plate in his hand fell to the ground!
Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, opened his mouth wide and was speechless in shock.
Fang Xuanling patted his forehead and muttered to himself in his heart:
This emperor was chosen by us, and the throne was also pushed up by us, blame ourselves, blame ourselves!
Du Ruhui lay straight in the main hall directly, and he never got up until he went down, it was useless for anyone to come, he said it himself.
"Your Majesty, Chrysostom Yuyan, you must not treat the knighthood as child's play! Yang Ming is the nephew of the minister, he can be knighted, and the minister is happy for him in his heart. But the minister, as a doctor of the Tang Dynasty, has the right to oppose His Majesty's appointment of him as a county, and the merit of refining refined salt is far from meeting the requirements of the knighthood! β
Wei Zheng strode out of the ranks, holding the jade plate and directly confronting Li Shimin.
At this moment, Wei Zheng had a great sense of righteousness, and his demeanor of daring to risk death and direct advice suddenly gained many small fans, and he was still branded by Li Jiancheng, who was isolated by everyone when he was in the court before.
Fang Xuanling, Feng Deyi and others also cast approving glances, Li Er added seals one after another, and they didn't dare to oppose one after another without saving face! As far as Du Ruhui's character is concerned, he must be planning to stalk Li Shimin after the next dynasty and ask why.
"Oh! If Yang Ming's kid can refine refined salt at a low cost, do you think he should be knighted?! β
Li Shimin was in a good mood, and he didn't bother to bother with this group of capable ministers, after all, their starting point was also for their own good, that is, this Wei Zheng was a little rude to directly stubbornly scold, and he picked up his prestige first.
"The low cost of refining refined salt? How inexpensive? Is it to make it affordable for all the people?! β
"Hmmm! If the people of Datang can afford to eat refined salt, and naturally their own physique will be enhanced, then Datang's combat effectiveness will be doubled and a stronger army will be cultivated. β
In this way, Yang Mingneng's refined salt can have a greater effect and lower cost, which is indeed a merit in the present and a benefit in the future. It is also natural for His Majesty to give Yang Ming the title! β
"Impossible! Lord Wang and Lord Cai have been refining salt for the imperial court for generations. There are so many processes in the middle, and the investment of manpower and material resources is huge, no matter how to reduce the cost, it is difficult for ordinary people to buy! β
The crowd began a new round of discussion.
Tokugawa wanted to open his mouth to scold again, but after seeing Li Shimin's eyes, he put away the dust and retreated to the side.
"Everyone, Yang Ming said frankly in the letter that if the imperial court can help in the first year, a small black bag of refined salt as big as my hand will only need to be sold for 300 copper coins!"
Li Shimin clutched his chest, and unknowingly raised the price slightly, realizing that the middleman made the difference.
After saying Yang Ming's request, all the officials in the DPRK and China were quickly calculating various pros and cons.
Among them, Wang Fugui and Cai Ping'an, who have lived by refining salt blocks for generations, hated it so much after hearing the price of refined salt, that they couldn't wait to dig a pit and bury Yang Ming immediately!
Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents!
And Feng Deyi, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Li Xiaogong and other bigwigs, after knowing that the refined salt is of high quality, low price, and large output, they all have no objection to Yang Mingneng Fengdai County.
The happiest is the counselor Wei Zheng, this early dynasty not only gained a lot of fans, but also changed the bigwigs' views on themselves. My own nephew can also be deservedly named the founding county, and he will be famous in history!
"Wow! Such a big bag has a catty, 300 copper coins a bag. Although the price is still very expensive, it is indeed a drop in the bucket compared to salt cubes, and most people should be able to afford it. β
"Indeed, a catty of refined salt sells for 300 copper coins, which is also a lot cheaper, and the people in the village can also choose to buy it in partnership with their neighbors."
"If the price of refined salt can be unified in various regions at that time, or sold in bulk, then I believe it will not be half a year. In the territory of Datang, refined salt can completely replace salt blocks! β
Li Shimin wants this effect, on the eve of the war, at least to depict a bright future for the ministers, no matter whether Yang Ming's plan can be carried out smoothly or not, it is a good bowl of chicken soup.
"Don't worry, everyone, wait until I finish speaking!"
Suddenly, there was silence in the court, so quiet that even Du Ruhui, who was lying on the ground, seemed to be out of breath, everyone was impatient, could it be that there was a follow-up to the matter of refined salt? !
"You may have guessed that a year later, after the refined salt refining technology matures, the country will vigorously promote it. At that time, the quality of refined salt in the same black pouch will be better, and the price will be cheaper! β
When Wang Fugui and Cai Ping'an heard this, they almost went straight to a crack in the ground to get into. People can improve the quality and quantity in a year and continue to reduce costs, while their family has been refining salt for generations, and the cost is increasing year by year...
"Your Majesty, how much cheaper are you talking about?!"
Feng Deyi regretted it a little, he knew that he should have taken a correct position, and he would stand with Li Shimin when the sky fell. But at this time, the emperor was happy, and it was not bad to come over and cooperate!
Li Shimin is really happy, he is afraid that everyone else will learn from Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, pretending to be stupid, pretending to be dead, and if no one comes to cooperate, he won't be able to act, and he will play with wool!
is still Feng Deyi obedient and cute!
Yang Ming firmly believes that after a year of maturity, Datang's refined salt will be promoted to the whole country at a price of 30 copper coins a catty. Every year in the future, with the continuous improvement of technology, the price of refined salt may continue to decline... β
Firewood, rice, oil and salt are necessities of life, and edible salt is a national weapon. The birth of refined salt will announce that the Tang Dynasty has reached a new level, and at this moment, all the officials in the court are extremely excited.
"Long live my emperor!"
"God bless the Tang Dynasty, long live my emperor!"
"The minister agrees with His Majesty to crown Yang Ming as the founding county son of Dai County!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The ministers seconded it!"
γγγγγγ
Li Shimin glanced at Du Ruhui and found that the blushing face had already been thinking about it. glanced at Fang Xuanling again, and found that the goods were talking to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wushi Tong about matters related to refining refined salt.
At this time, due to the rebellion of Li Ming, the governor of Youzhou, and other reasons, he temporarily retained the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry of Chang'an, and did not go to Yuzhou to serve as the governor.
And Duan Lun is just idle at home every day, and he doesn't go to Wu Shi Tong to dock. Now the factions in the court have not been sorted out, there are Li Shimin's lineage, the former Sui old department, Li Yuan's old department, and Li Jiancheng's surrender faction.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, Duan Lun was under great pressure as the former Ji Guogong and Li Yuan's son-in-law. In order to avoid suspicion, he closed his door and no longer interacted with anyone, including his former colleague Samurai Tong, who was afraid of causing trouble for himself.
It was Duan Lun who locked himself up and provided Yang Ming with a once-in-a-century development platform.
In the future, the Ministry of Works, who is responsible for docking the refined salt refining, is Yang Ming's brother-in-law, and the behind-the-scenes boss who is responsible for dispatching supervisors, Wei Zheng, is Yang Ming's own uncle...
Li Shimin sees that this atmosphere is enough, and the rest of the cattle sets and flowing water simple cars will not be mentioned for the time being!
Serious matters!
So he told Tokugawa that after the dispersal of the dynasty, he must bring the important core figures to the inner courtyard of the Xiande Palace, and finally issued the holy decree of crowning Yang Ming as the founding county of Daizhou to Daizhou and announced his retreat from the dynasty.
Sun Simiao, Feng Li, Feng Chun and other Youzhou generals had rushed to Chang'an City, and were waiting for everyone in the inner courtyard of the Xiande Hall at this time to discuss how to prevent the Turks from invading Chang'an City on a large scale.
And Cheng Yanjin himself didn't come, he still has to continue to sit in Youzhou.
A few families are happy and a few are sad.
Wang Fugui deliberately slowed down in the crowd of retreating from the dynasty, and when he staggered with Cai Ping'an, he glanced at him, and knocked twice on the back of his hand, and left in a hurry, leaving Cai Ping'an with a confused face.
Cai Ping'an, the proud son of the Cai family in Chang'an, the Cai family has been refining salt for the imperial court for a living for generations, and there is no other background in the court.
Wang Fugui, the official and military department, is under the fourth grade, and the boss is Zhao Guogong and Sun Wuji, the secretary of the ministry.
The Wang family also refined salt for the imperial court, but under Wang Fugui's secret operation, the Wang family's huge profits were very different from Cai Ping'an, who could barely support his family.
is also the loss of an industrial chain, Wang Fugui and Cai Ping'an have two different ideas.
Wang Fugui wanted to knock Yang Ming and let him postpone the advent and production of refined salt, so that his salt could be slowly transformed. And Cai Ping'an wanted to use his power to go to Yang Ming to learn the refining mode of refined salt, so that the clansmen could keep up with the pace of the times.
It's not that Cai Ping'an doesn't want to engage with Yang Ming, but now Yang Ming has been crowned the founding county by the emperor himself, and his boss is his brother-in-law, and he can't do it himself. Instead of dying like Wang Fugui, it is better to take the initiative to apply to Yang Ming to study.
And he also smelled an unusual smell, Chang'an City may be about to happen again, from the eyes of Tokugawa hurriedly summoned the core figures of the court, Cai Ping'an felt fear.

Yizhou,
Five back to the mountain.
"I'm rubbing! How? Why did the caravan stop again?! β
Yang Ming was so angry that he rode forward on a war horse and asked.
Last night, taking advantage of the absence of Sister Jin Zhiyuan, he sneaked into Lin Wan'er's tent and talked about the dual cultivation of men and women in a serious way, when he was beaten out by Lin Wan'er's set of Luoying Divine Palms.
"Back to my uncle, a group of special robbers came in front of me and stopped the mountain road, and we couldn't get through!"
Ding Da Niu played with the lying melon hammer that he had seized from Cheng Chumo, and replied nonchalantly.
"Look at your little bit of talent, hurry up and return the broken hammer to Cheng Gongzi, and take the broken hammer as a baby?! Phew! Lao Tzu's face has made you lose everything! β
Yang Ming saw Ding Da Niu's appearance, if he hadn't been able to beat others, he really wanted to go over and press him to the ground and rub him.
Yang Ming successfully crossed the catastrophe twice, except for the deepening of his internal force and the huge change in his appearance, he did not find any other changes, and his martial arts were still the same as before, sparse and ordinary.
"Uncle, when we return to Daizhou, we have enough high-quality materials and machinery and equipment so that I can build a melon hammer that belongs to me, and I can return this small one to Cheng Gongzi...
"You still dare to negotiate with Lao Tzu, right?"
Yang Ming's backhand was a slap towards Ding Daniu's helmet.
This thing really picked up all the equipment, I don't know where to get Yi Yuwei's helmet, it is so small, he also wears it directly on his head.
"Let's talk about it! What's the situation ahead, what kind of bandits can scare you, the caravan vanguard, into running to the middle?! β
Ding Da Niu put down the lying melon hammer and moved his helmet aggrievedly:
"Uncle, you see that our caravan is dressed in all kinds of clothes, and it is not decent to be compared to refugees. As the pioneer of the caravan, I came back with some equipment, and I also want to help you support the faΓ§ade! β
Yang Ming glared at him, which pot was not opened.
"Get down to business!"
Ding Da Niu smiled, pointed to the mountain road in front of him and said:
"Uncle, we are surrounded by a group of!"
