Datang: Son-in-law, I beg you to come out of the mountain

Fan family.

"What did you say? Zhou Cheng said he didn't want the Fan family's salt?!" Fan Guochang was shocked by the slave's words!

"Master! That Master Zhou seemed to be in a daze today, and he said very rudely that he didn't want the salt from the Fan family, and also said... and said..." The servant whispered.

"What else!"

Fan Guochang has always relied on being the eldest son of the Fan family, he is used to domineering, and never takes others seriously, today Zhou Cheng is so provocative, Fan Guochang is very angry.

"Master Zhou said, let you worry about yourself, young master, and said that the Fan family's salt workshop will be shut down soon." The house slave added fuel.

boom!
Fan Guochang slapped the table violently!
"This Zhou Cheng! Is he crazy! I think he doesn't want to be an official in the Food and Salt Bureau anymore! He will definitely let his uncles give him a copy!" Fan Guochang said angrily.

"Master, how dare you challenge me as a petty official this week?" said the servant.

Fan Guochang snorted coldly: "That's not because of the support of the emperor. Thinking about it, the emperor ordered Zhou Cheng to do this!"

"Ah? Then young master, will the emperor not want the Fan family's salt..." the servant asked.

"Impossible! The entire Tang Dynasty and the salt workshop are monopolized by the family, and inside and outside Chang'an City, only our Fan family can make salt. The salt from other places is far away, and it will not be shipped here at this price." Fan Guochang believed in himself.

He will suspend a book later, so that other families will not transport salt here.

"Then what do we do with the salt?" the slave asked.

"Let's put it aside for now! Doesn't the emperor want to argue with us? Then our Fan family will play with him and let him understand what a century-old family is!" Fan Guochang said coldly.

-

In other words, Li Shimin's secret recipe for making salt was presented that week, and he gathered his staff and rushed to work day and night. After ten days of hard work, he produced enough refined salt for the entire city of Chang'an.

"Master Zhou! This is freshly made table salt! Look at it!" The little official in charge of making salt took out the snow-white salt and showed it to Zhou Cheng.

Looking at the snow-white salt, Zhou Cheng hurriedly dipped some of it into his mouth with trembling hands!
"Yes! Yes! That's the smell! That's the smell!" Zhou Cheng said with tears in his eyes!

Others also happily dipped in the salt and tasted it!

“Delicious! So delicious!”

"It's a hundred times better than the salt made by the Fan family!"

"Yes! It's so delicious! I think this salt is the best salt in the entire Tang Dynasty!"

Zhou Cheng said happily.

"Master Zhou, I heard that Fan Guochang has always wanted to see the jokes about our Salt Manufacturing Bureau. They even said that within ten days, our Salt Manufacturing Bureau will be closed!"

Zhou Cheng couldn't help sneering when he heard the officials say that.

"I think the Fan family will be the ones to go out of business first!"

……

Fan family.

"Master...Master! It's not good! The big thing...it's not good!"

"What's going on in such a panic?" Fan Guochang gave the servant a displeased look.

The servant looked anxious, wiped the sweat from his brow, and panted heavily: "The Salt Bureau...today..."

When Fan Guochang heard about the Salt Bureau, his eyes lit up immediately, and he interrupted with a smile:
"Then the Salt Bureau has no salt to buy, so it's closed?"

The house slave shook his head like a rattle!
"It's okay! Today...today we open to sell salt!"

Fan Guochang frowned, and said in surprise: "How could this be?! Our Fan family has stopped supplying the Salt Bureau for nearly ten days! This inventory should have been cleared long ago! Where did the salt he sells come from?"

"I don't know! I just passed by and saw that the entrance of the Salt Bureau was completely surrounded. I only heard people from the outside saying that the Salt Bureau opened today. Not to mention the low salt price, the quality of the salt is still very high." good!"

The more Fan Guochang listened, the more confused he became!

"Go! Go and see!"

After Fan Guochang finished speaking, he hurried to the Salt Bureau.

……

The Salt Bureau, across the door, is full of flowers.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were following around.

"Your Majesty, isn't it rumored that the Salt Bureau is going to close down? Why is it reopening today? Besides, there are quite a lot of people here." Du Ruhui asked suspiciously.

"I also heard that the Fan family relied on their own control of the salt workshop to increase the price at will, and even mixed sand into the salt! Recently, they stopped supplying table salt and the Salt Manufacturing Bureau."

Li Shimin just smiled and didn't answer.

He yelled at the second brother.

"Xiaoer, let's get drunk with a pot of peach blossoms!"

This Peach Blossom Drunk was purchased from Yang Family Manor, and it is expensive, usually only dignitaries can afford it.

Seeing Li Shimin being so generous, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui felt relieved when they looked around and found that there was no sign of Wei Zheng.

"Your Majesty, you are quite rich recently." Du Ruhui said hehe.

Li Shimin was in a good mood today, and said: "Take a closer look at the table salt. How is it different from the usual one?"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked down at the Salt Bureau with their heads down.

I saw boxes of exquisitely packaged table salt on the supply stand.

They happened to see an old woman in fine clothes. After selling a bag, they opened it and looked at it.

"This salt is so white!" Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui said in surprise.

"It's more than snow white!" Li Shimin smiled and poured wine into his glass, "Now the salt factory is self-produced and sold. Very high quality!"

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were instantly shocked!They stared at Li Shimin dumbfounded!
Because Li Shimin's words contain too much information!
First of all, this salt does not need to be supplied by the Fan family now!It was controlled by Li Shimin himself!
Secondly, the quality of this salt is far better than those made by other aristocratic families!

Finally, how could Li Shimin have an epiphany for such a good method of making salt?It must have been said by that fairy in Yangjiazhuang!

"Congratulations to the emperor! Congratulations to the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, this move will not only increase the income of the court, but also hit the big family! It can kill two birds with one stone!"

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling said with emotion.

But I thought to myself, Nima, I missed the chance to meet Yang Zhuo again!Be sure to follow closely next time!

At this time, Li Shimin, Fang Du and the others saw a familiar figure coming from under the restaurant!

"Isn't that person Fan Guochang? Why is he here?" Fang Xuanling asked sharply.

"I heard that this Fan Guochang has always wanted to see the emperor's jokes and the closure of the Salt Bureau. I don't know if the Salt Bureau is so grand today, will this Fan Guochang vomit blood?" Fang Xuanling looked at the table below. Fan Guochang said.

Li Shimin drank a glass of wine and looked down at Fan Guochang.

"Little character! How dare you challenge me!"

The Fan family started out selling salt, but now that there is no one to buy salt, the family business will gradually decline!
