The second wind rises in Chang'an Chapter 419 The minister has thought about it
Since you have "thrown yourself into the net", Li Yuan naturally doesn't want to let go of his future son-in-law, after all, this "harem fire" thing was caused by this kid, although it was this kid's "unintentional mistake", but to solve this matter, it still has to fall on this kid, I just don't know what happened to this kid this time!
After pondering for a while, Li Yuan looked directly at Chang Bao and said, "Let him in!" ”
"Yes!" Chang Bao bowed down to receive the order, and then ordered the little chamberlain to bring Lu Chen to meet Li Yuan.
Soon Lu Chen came to the Ganlu Hall under the leadership of the small chamberlain, this is the first time Lu Chen came to the Ganlu Palace, it is said that this is the emperor's place to read, into the Ganlu Palace, Lu Chen looked around, and saw the bookshelves on the north wall, the bookshelf put books and bamboo slips, a bookcase, the bookcase is placed on the silver inkstone, the blue tooth tube, and a silver letter, the silver letter is placed in the neatly cut paper, and there is a stack of music next to the silver letter, and Li Yuan is sitting behind the bookcase looking at him.
"Meet Your Majesty!" Lu Chen said to Li Yuan.
"Excuse me!" Li Yuan waved his hand at Lu Chen with a smile on his face, and at the same time continued to ask, "Why are you here to find me?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has something that I want Your Majesty to see!" Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan and replied.
"Oh?" Hearing that Lu Chen was bringing something again, Li Yuan suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously interested, after all, every time Lu Chen took out something, it was a very novel thing, so Li Yuan was still very interested in what Lu Chen was going to give him this time.
Lu Chen was not lazy, and directly beckoned to the little chamberlain outside the Ganlu Palace, and the little chamberlain hurriedly sent the deerskin bag he was carrying to the hall and handed it to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen directly put the bag on the ground, and then opened the mouth of the bag, and the snow-white refined salt was directly revealed in front of Li Yuan.
"What is this?" Looking at the refined salt of the white flowers, Li Yuan asked Lu Chen with some confusion, "Does it look like flour?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this is salt!" Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan and said.
"Is this salt?" Li Yuan turned his head directly to look at Chang Bao.
"Your Majesty, the fine salt slaves in the Shangshi Bureau have seen it, and it seems to be different from what the Lu County Office shows!" Chang Bao reported later with Li Yuan.
"Lu Aiqing, what is the difference between your salt and the fine salt of the Shangshi Bureau?" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister's refined salt does not have the bitter taste of those fine salts! If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can let Governor Chang taste it on the spot! Lu Chen said and looked at Chang Bao who was standing on the side, and said with a smile.
Li Yuan didn't speak, but nodded, and then glanced at Chang Bao, Chang Bao stepped forward to Lu Chen, stretched out his hand and dipped some refined salt in the bag, rubbed it with his fingers, then stretched out his tongue and licked it, followed by smashing his mouth, and then turned around and said after saluting Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, it is indeed salt, and it only has a pure salty taste, and there is no bitter taste of those fine salts in the Shangshi Bureau!" ”
"Oh? I try it too! Li Yuan got up directly, turned the bookcase, came to Lu Chen, and dipped his fingers in some salt and put it in his mouth to taste it.
After tasting it, he walked quickly to the bookcase, picked up the teacup and began to clear his mouth, Li Yuan's current tea is also the tea directly contributed by Lu Chen.
"What do you mean by giving me this salt? Is it going to be delivered to the Shang Food Bureau? After Li Yuan cleared his mouth, he returned to the bookcase and sat down, then looked at Lu Chen and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty..."Lu Chen saluted Li Yuan, but he didn't say the next words, but glanced left and right.
Li Yuan naturally understood the meaning of his eyes, and with a direct wave of his hand, Li Yuan and Lu Chen were left in the Ganlu Palace, and Chang Bao also took the palace door and guarded directly outside the hall after leaving the Ganlu Palace.
"Your Majesty, the minister is going to sell this refined salt, and then we will divide the account by twenty-eight, how about it?" Lu Chen came to the front of Li Yuan's case and whispered to Li Yuan.
"Selling refined salt?" Li Yuanshou frowned slightly, don't look at Li Yuan doesn't understand how this thing is made, but Li Yuan knows that if Lu Chen sells this kind of salt, it will have a great impact on those families at that time, especially the Xiao family, which started with salt.
It is said that Li Yuan and Xiao Yu have a good relationship, and even Xiao Yu's wife Dugu is still Li Yuan's cousin, and to put it bluntly, Li Yuan is still Xiao Yu's eldest brother, but is it really because of the good relationship between the two that Li Yuan values Xiao Yu?
It doesn't seem to be the case, the two are naturally related to each other, and Xiao Yu's ability is also one thing, but the most important thing is probably the "salt" owned by the Xiao family, which is related to the livelihood of the people, and among these families in Datang today, the Xiao family has the most salt mines and salt lakes, and it can even be said that three-fifths of the salt in Datang comes from the Xiao family.
Li Yuan values Xiao Yu so much, I'm afraid it has more to do with this matter.
Now that Lu Chen has made such refined salt, if he wants to sell it, it is the Xiao family who will be hit the most, how did Lu Chen and the family make trouble before, it has not yet reached the point of "cutting off people's financial routes", and now, Lu Chen has made this "refined salt", once it is put on the market, it is definitely to cut off the Xiao family's "financial route".
This "cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents", not to mention the wealth of a family like the Xiao family, I am afraid that Lu Chen and the Xiao family will be in an endless situation at that time.
"Lu Chen, this matter is big or small, have you really thought it through?" When Lu Chen proposed to sell refined salt, Li Yuan directly thought of what might happen later, so Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen with a serious face, although Lu Chen's methods were endless, but if the family really wanted to fight him to the death, it would also be troublesome.
"I've thought about it!" Looking at Li Yuan's serious expression, Lu Chen nodded directly, "This kind of thing has to be done sooner or later, the minister just wants to implement this matter before leaving Chang'an!" As for the minister's return..."Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan and continued.
Although Lu Chen didn't finish his words, Li Yuan already understood the meaning of Lu Chen's words, Li Yuan also received a report from Chang Bao about the change of ownership of the blacksmith shop, and Lu Chen has been very quiet recently, and even those Li Daozong and Cheng Yanjin and others in Chang'an City who made trouble with Lu Chen's Lujiazhuang, Li Yuan also knew about it.
When he received the news, Li Yuan thought that Lu Chen was preparing for the crusade against Liang Shidu, and temporarily tolerated it, but what Li Yuan didn't expect was that Lu Chen began to "retaliate" on this, and even prepared a "pit" for the Xiao family.
