Night, Fangfu.

After dinner, it's time for tea.

"Fang Zhouzun, this is a fine salt contract, can you see if there is a problem?"

Li Shimin took out a contract from his arms and handed it to Fang Yuan.

It was the contract that had been negotiated with Fang Yuan for the distribution of profits before, and the emperor signed and stamped the jade seal.

"So fast?!"

Fang Yuan was slightly surprised.

After taking a deep look at Li Shimin, he took the contract.

But without looking at it, he handed it over to the red floc who was making tea and put it away.

Then he asked the red floc to fetch the large amount of fine salt production plan that had been prepared.

Prior to this, Fang Yuan had already written out the process, so as not to forget it after listening to it.

"Don't look?"

Li Shimin asked in surprise.

"No, you don't."

"Believe Boss Li."

Fang Yuan shook his head and lowered his head to drink tea.

"Fang Zhouzun, I'm ready to leave."

"Before I leave, can I know how cement is made?"

Li Shimin smiled and said.

He has been in Liaozhou for several days, and the court still has something waiting for him to deal with.

Looking at Du Ruhui's message, after he left, Pei Lin jumped very high and frequently walked with the emperor.

"I can't."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said.

Cement is so important that in addition to building roads, it can also be used to build houses in the future.

It can be said to be an economic sword, which can drive a massive economy, and Fang Yuan doesn't want people to know now.

"I can work together, like fine salt!"

Li Shimin frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

Although considering that Fang Yuan would refuse, he was still very unhappy when he was really rejected.

"Nope."

"This is not negotiable!"

Fang Yuan shook his head and said firmly.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little bad, and Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan, who were drinking tea, lowered their heads even lower.

"What if you just build the Yellow River dam with cement?"

Li Shimin's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said in a deep voice.

"This official is duty-bound!"

"Cement and technical support!"

Fang Yuan sat up straight and said with a straight face.

It is not possible to hand over the cement formula, but it is okay to provide cement.

The process of cement is complex, and after the launch of the finished cement, no one in the market can imitate it in a short period of time.

"Okay!"

"When your cement plant is completed, there should be officials who will contact you."

Li Shimin nodded, and the answer he got was quite satisfied.

Although he was curious about how cement was made, he wanted more to clean up the Yellow River embankment.

He also wanted to build a cement road, but the court had no spare money on the spot, so he didn't necessarily know how to make it.

As for the method of making money with fine salt obtained now, it must be given priority to the supply of the attack on the Eastern Turks, and there is also no money to build roads.

"No problem."

Fang Yuan nodded.

"Then I won't bother tonight."

"Go back to the business bank to pack your luggage and come back tomorrow morning."

Li Shimin got what he wanted, got up and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan quickly put down their teacups and got up.

"I'll send you off."

Fang Yuan followed and got up.

"No, you don't."

"I know the way."

Li Shimin smiled.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan did not force it.

Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan saluted Fang Yuan and followed Li Shimin.

"Master, why do you feel like Li Daye is throwing you the same face?"

After the person left, Qing Yuan was dissatisfied.

Fang Yuan didn't answer, and tasted the tea carefully.

Outside the Fang Mansion.

"Father, why do you want to hide your identity from Fang Yuan?"

Princess Xiangcheng was quite puzzled.

Like tonight's cement, don't you directly reveal your identity, can't you ask for it directly?

Du Miaoyan on the side immediately pricked up her ears, and she was also curious about why she concealed her identity.

"At the beginning, I was worried that Fang Yuan was afraid of me and maliciously deceived, and I couldn't see the changes in Wuling County more clearly."

"Now I don't think the time is right."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and chuckled.

"The timing is wrong?"

Princess Xiangcheng didn't understand.

Is this kind of thing still about timing?

Du Miaoyan thought about it, and seemed to understand a little.

"Don't you think it would be more interesting to have a showdown with me as the emperor after I get more acquainted with him?"

"I wondered, what kind of expression would he have then? Wouldn't it be fun? ”

Li Shimin laughed.

There was anticipation in his eyes.

He actually didn't say a thing, that is, there was no fawning and hypocrisy of other courtiers here in Fang Yuan.

"Forehead ......"

Princess Xiangcheng was stunned.

Can't understand the fun in this.

She was bored, but she didn't continue to ask.

I wanted to complain with Du Miaoyan, but I saw that Du Miaoyan had already followed in the footsteps of his father.

A few days later.

Li Shimin returned to Chang'an City.

Before the person entered the palace, he asked people to inform Li Jing.

Soon, Li Jing appeared in the imperial study of the palace to meet Li Shimin.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Li Jing saluted respectfully.

At nearly sixty years old, he doesn't look old at all.

The appearance is magnificent, but he is not sharp, but he looks like a Confucian student.

At this time, Li Jing was only a famous general, ranking in the Ministry of War, and his title was the Duke of Yongkang County.

"I decided to contact Liang Luoren and ordered him to kill Liang Shidu and surrender the city!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty is not worried about his surrender?"

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

Contacting Liang Luoren to kill Liang Shidu and surrendering the city was his idea.

However, some generals in the DPRK and China were worried that the other side would surrender by fraud, so the idea was temporarily shelved.

"I have faith that this plan will be successful!"

Li Shimin smiled confidently.

He felt that this plan was feasible, Li Jing felt that this plan was feasible, and Fang Yuan also felt that this plan was feasible.

They are all very far-sighted people, and they all agree that this plan is feasible, then the success rate of this plan will be very large, and it is worth trying.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Li Jing immediately saluted.

It's a joy that your plan has been adopted.

"Prepare again, after taking Shuofang, attack the Eastern Turks in the north!"

Li Shimin continued.

At the mention of the Eastern Turks, anger welled up in his eyes.

The shame of Weishui burns his dignity day and night, and it's time to wash it away.

"Your Majesty, the problem of grain and grass?"

Li Jing was overjoyed, but quickly raised concerns.

It was not that he did not want to attack the Eastern Turks in the north, but that the conditions did not allow it.

The imperial court now has no food to support the Northern Expedition, and there is no way to start this war.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said in high spirits.

Once fine salt is introduced, it is a steady stream of revenue.

Not to mention supporting the Northern Expedition, it is just around the corner to fill the treasury.

Even if we face natural and man-made disasters in the future, we will not be as passive as this drought and locust plague.

"This ......"

"Your Majesty, can you clear your mind?"

Li Jing hesitated for a moment and asked.

It is a matter of national war, and there must be no sloppiness.

You can't really not worry because the emperor said that you don't need to worry.

"I went to Liaozhou to find a fine salt refining method."

"In the future, there will be a steady stream of money income, and food and grass will no longer be a problem."

Li Shimin said proudly.

"Fine salt?!"

"Your Majesty will rule the world, eliminate the Eastern Turks, and power the universe, just around the corner!"

Li Jing was shocked and shocked.

Looking at Li Shimin's proud appearance again, I feel that it is true.

immediately pretended to be very excited and saluted Li Shimin.

"Dominate the world, megatron the universe, hahaha......"

Li Shimin laughed proudly.

It was as if he had seen himself as a powerful nation.

Soon, Li Jing left the imperial study, returned to the mansion, and called his son.

"Dejian, you personally find out what happened in Liaozhou, don't let people know."
