"Nope! How dare Ben Gong treat Xiao Servant as a three-year-old child! Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Lu Chen responded with a smile.

Xiao Yu didn't believe that such fine salt could be easily made, although Xiao Yu didn't know how to make such fine salt, but Xiao Yu was sure that it would definitely take a very cumbersome process to make such fine salt.

Based on this idea, Xiao Yu was sure that Lu Chen would definitely not have this kind of finely made table salt in large quantities, and Lu Chen took out such a small bottle, probably just to put pressure on himself and increase his chips.

Looking at Lu Chen's smile, Xiao Yu still had a sarcastic expression of disbelief.

"I don't know, Xiao Servant has never heard of the Women's Army!" Lu Chen suddenly changed the topic and mentioned the women's army under Li Xiuning's command.

"The name of the Women's Army, the old man naturally knows, what is the purpose of Lu County's sudden mention of the Women's Army? Could it be that he wants to use the county prince's status as a military advisor to intimidate us? Seeing that Lu Chen suddenly mentioned the Lady Army, several people couldn't help but look at Lu Chen with a sneering expression.

Although they are civil officials, and they are also members of the family, if a single family faces the women's army alone, they may feel afraid, but they can now be said to be united to face Lu Chen, not to mention that this is Chang'an, it can be said that it is their home field, the women's army is far away in the women's pass, even if Lu Chen can mobilize the women's army, the border army enters Beijing, and it is not the king of Qin, if Lu Chen really dares to do this, without their hands, it is enough for Lu Chen to lose his head by virtue of the guilt of this matter.

Therefore, several people were not afraid of the women's army mentioned by Lu Chen, and the expressions on their faces were somewhat mocking and sarcastic.

"The identity of the military division of the Women's Army is for you, I'm afraid it won't be in your eyes, the reason why my father mentioned the Women's Army is because of what my father did in the Women's Army, haven't you forgotten?" Lu Chen reminded a few people again.

As Lu Chen's voice fell, several people's minds were like a sharp flash, yes! Before Lu Chen received the knighthood, he had already made a lot of inventions and innovations in the Women's Army, such as iron horse harnesses, alcohol, and the so-called "normal saline".

"Saline!" As soon as he thought of these four words, Xiao Yu understood, at that time, Lu Chen should have already made this kind of "salt", although he didn't understand what this normal saline was, and he hadn't seen it, but the word "salt" was familiar to him, and it was also the foundation of the Xiao family.

It was also at this moment that Xiao Yu suddenly remembered that if it weren't for Lu Chen's reminder just now, everyone seemed to only remember Lu Chen's identity as the county prince of Chang'an, and forgot that Lu Chen also had the position of military advisor of the Women's Army, not only them, but I am afraid that those other civil and military officials, if they were not intentionally reminded, I am afraid they would have forgotten Lu Chen's identity!

"Strategist!" If the commander is the core of an army, then the "military division" is the brain of the army, and the military division has the power of the commander in some cases.

"Could it be..."Xiao Yu's eagle-like eyes, for the first time, there was a look of surprise, if what Lu Chen had done so far was intentional, then from the moment Lu Chen appeared in the Women's Army and was worshiped by Li Xiuning as a military advisor, he has been arranging, if so, then the mind of the young Chang'an County Duke in front of him is too terrifying!

No wonder since Lu Chen followed Li Xiuning back to Chang'an, Li Xiuning has only been to Lujiazhuang twice, and then he no longer goes, and during this time, Li Xiuning has lived in the princess's mansion and has never shown up, I am afraid that it is all to dilute Lu Chen's position as a military advisor in people's hearts.

"Now the normal saline invented by Bengong has been applied to the army of the whole Tang Dynasty, as for how to purify this salt, Bengong naturally left it to the Women's Army, Xiao Servant, you say that if this Gong's order, how much of this salt can the Women's Army produce? Moreover, you can use the charcoal that you are afraid of, and the poisonous salt that is for you, will the guild not be afraid? Lu Chen sneered, looked at Xiao Yu and said slowly, and every word Lu Chen said was like a sledgehammer slammed into Xiao Yu's heart.

With Lu Chen's words, Xiao Yu naturally also thought about it, the Women's Army said that there were only seventy or eighty thousand people, but in fact, there were more than 100,000 people, these people Lu Chen naturally could not and did not have the right to transfer them all, but Li Xiuning could, Lu Chen was the military advisor of the Women's Army, as long as Lu Chen said to Li Xiuning, I am afraid that Li Xiuning would order all the soldiers of the Women's Army to cooperate with Lu Chen to make salt.

What's more, seeing the state of prohibiting the order of the guards trained by Lu Chen, Xiao Yu didn't believe it, Lu Chen would not give this kind of training method to Li Xiuning, so what is the situation of the Women's Army now, I'm afraid only Li Xiuning and Lu Chen know, and even Emperor Li Yuan probably doesn't know what the soldiers of the Women's Army are like.

This kind of order prohibits, if a well-trained soldier goes to make salt, the efficiency will definitely be higher than that of those salt workers in his own family, if Lu Chen really wants to do this, then the impact on the Xiao family is undoubtedly huge, and it may even make the Xiao family plummet and be directly removed from the Guan Longba family.

"Just this kind of salt, if my father wants to make it, he only needs a letter, and the output of tens of thousands of catties a day can still be achieved!" Lu Chen smiled at Xiao Yu and said, in fact, Lu Chen was also scaring Xiao Yu, the salt in this clay bottle was only made by Lu Chen in the past two days, and this was also on the day he returned to Lujiazhuang, Lu Chen saw the salt shaker in the kitchen and remembered that salt and iron are the country's economic sources.

And the Tang Dynasty's salt and iron national monopoly was not until the tenth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, when was that, it was all during the Tang Xuanzong period, that is to say, the Tang Dynasty did not levy salt and iron taxes directly from the early Tang Dynasty for one hundred and thirty years, and the country did not levy taxes on salt and iron wine for one hundred and thirty years, and it was able to create a prosperous Tang Dynasty that has been praised for thousands of years, I have to say that this is also a unique dynasty in history.

And Lu Chen is going to smooth out this matter this time, in the future, it is possible to return the salt and iron tax to the state, and now if you want these families to hand over these things, it is absolutely impossible.

"Xiao servant, I don't know if your Xiao family can withstand the impact of my father-in-law?" Lu Chen picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and looked at Xiao Yu with a smile, and Xiao Yu's sideburns at this time were actually sweating, and even Xiao Yu felt that the intimate clothes inside had a feeling of coldness.

"Xiao servant shoots, Hugh wants to listen to this son to scare us!" At this moment, Wang Qi and Wei Ting on the side also saw that Xiao Yu was obviously frightened by Lu Chen, and directly reminded him.

"Scaring you?" Lu Chen looked at the two of them and sneered, "In your two families, although they are not deeply involved in this salt and iron, it is said that they are all scholarly heirlooms, and there should be a lot of literati and students who want to come to your two families to submit papers!" Lu Chen looked at Wang Qi and Wei Ting and said, "Oh, by the way, the other people who are known as the five surnames and seven wangs seem to be known as scholarly heirlooms to the outside world, right?" ”

"What? Didn't Lu Xiangong still want to copy the books in our house? Or is it impossible to directly threaten the officials of our family? Wang Qi looked at Lu Chen and asked coldly.

"You think of your father too narrowly, reader! Ben Gong also admires! 'No one asks about the cold window for ten years, and the world knows it in one fell swoop', the hard work of these readers, my father still admires it very much! Lu Chen touched the beard on his chin, which was neither long nor short, and said with a smile, "Is it really because those literati are scholarly heirlooms and have famous Confucians in your family?" Lu Chen sneered and looked at Wang Jue, Wei Ting and the others.

Whether this is the case or not, in fact, everyone knows that the reason why those literati students are involved in the family is not because the books are expensive, but because they are involved in the family, they will have the opportunity to see those classics that cannot be seen outside at all, and they will be more sure of the imperial examination.

"What does Lu Xiangong mean?!" Wei Ting was a little embarrassed by Lu Chen's words, and asked Lu Chen directly.

"You know what you mean, you know it, I know it! My father has a gift for you! Lu Chen said and directly gave three high-fives, and as Lu Chen's slap fell, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Lian Xiude and Meng Ji walked in from outside the door of the private room.

"Grandpa!" The two of them gave a military salute to Lu Chen, and then stood there, waiting for Lu Chen's command.

"Open those boxes, this is a gift prepared by my father for these adults, so I have to let a few adults look at it!" Lu Chen pointed to a few wooden boxes in the corner of the private room, in fact, as soon as they entered the private room, these family officials had already seen those wooden boxes, although they were also very curious about what was inside, but because of the relationship between them and Lu Chen, they were embarrassed to ask.

Now Lu Chen ordered Lian Xiude and Meng Ji to open the box, so the eyes of several people were directly attracted by those boxes.

"Yes!" After Lian Xiude and Meng Jiqi responded, they walked over and opened the lids of several boxes in turn, and after opening them, these people finally saw what was in the box.

After seeing what was being loaded now, the faces of these people finally showed shocked and miserable expressions.

After seeing the contents of this box, several people turned their heads a little stiffly to look at Lu Chen with a leisurely expression, how heavy and heavy their hearts were at this time, because Lu Chen made them see the shaking of their foundation.
