Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 111 Don't Be Human

"What did you say? One or twenty guans!" Li Jinggang thought about buying a catty and trying it first, but when he heard the price, he was instantly shocked, "Isn't this an obvious robbery? What kind of tea is ten or twenty guans? This is too outrageous!"

"That's right, it's the cost price. Each person is limited to one or two. How do you do business?" Li Jing looked dissatisfied.

When Li Fu heard what Li Jing said, he smiled lightly, "Mr. Wei, this is already the cost price. This tea is not easy to come by. You don't have to buy it if you think it's too expensive. There aren't many left now. You can buy it if you don't." Give it to someone else!"

Uh... Li Jing was stunned by Li Fu in an instant. If these words came from Shen Wansan's mouth, Li Jing could make Shen Wansan swallow these words back, but Prince, he should rest.

Li Ji immediately saw the clue, and immediately took out a piece of silver, "His Royal Highness, I want it, one or twenty guan, I want five liang!"

Li Daozong also took out the silver, followed by saying: "I want it too, I want it too, I want a catty!"

[Damn it, the Prince of Jiangxia County is rich. He just spent so much money. It’s really a lot of money. I’m afraid this money came from some evil source! 】

[I seem to remember that after Li Daozong became the Minister of Rites, he began to corrupt the law. Yes, it was Princess Wencheng who entered Tubo and came back to be the Minister of Rites. 】

[This guy didn't work for a few years, but he was directly arrested and imprisoned by Li Er's order, and became the biggest corrupt official in the Zhenguan period! 】

【Looking at it like this, Li Daozong may not only be corrupt in his post as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, but he may have already started now! 】

Li Fu looked at Li Daozong's rich and powerful appearance, and couldn't help making malicious speculations in his heart, but Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard it.

Li Daozong has a small problem of being greedy for money. Li Shimin knows this, but considering the identity of the other party's clan and his contribution to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin has always turned a blind eye to it.

No one in the court would sue Li Daozong for this, but he didn't expect that after hearing what Li Fu said, Li Daozong finally offended him, and he could order him to be imprisoned, it must be too greedy.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt that it was necessary for him to beat Li Daozong sometime, and don't let this guy really cause trouble for him!

But seeing Li Daozong and others bought Li Fu's tea, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel itchy again. It's not a problem to drink tea all the time, so Li Shimin licked his face and asked Li Fu.

"Prince, your tea is really good. It happens that there is no such thing in the palace, or else..."

Li Shimin hadn't finished speaking when Li Fu took over the words, "Even if the emperor didn't say anything, my son has already asked Shen Wansan to prepare, and what he specially provided to my son's East Palace is just ordinary tea, only ten or twenty cups. "

"So Erchen specifically asked him to look for ones of better grade than Erchen's here. Shen Wansan happened to find them too, but the quantity was not much, only a little over two catties. Let's say two catties, one or two or twenty guan, which is still the cost price. Not expensive at all!"

What, one or two or twenty pennies is still the cost price, this is considered a money grab!Li Shimin's face turned blue instantly.

Li Shimin's original intention was to ask Li Fu to respect him a little, and send him directly to the palace without any money, but he was lucky enough to kill himself, and even pretended that he was looking for the best tea, which is a lie!
Li Ji and Li Daozong couldn't help laughing when they heard this, Li Jing wasn't happy because he didn't get any tea, but when he heard that Li Fu sold it to Li Shimin for twenty guan one or two, he was immediately happy.

Once the transaction was over, everyone was finally able to sit together, drink tea and chat.

Li Daozong drank the fragrant tea and suddenly sighed with emotion, "Oh, it's still such a life bondage, it's not like fighting around everywhere in the past, and you can't even eat enough, Lao Li, what do you think?"

When Li Jing heard Li Daozong's words, he nodded repeatedly, "You are fine, but the logistics supply is not enough. I simply don't have one. When fighting on the grassland, I often spend several days on horseback and can only live by drinking water. , you don’t even have to eat salt.”

"Yes, yes, thanks to the fact that both Turkic and Xue Yantuo were wiped out. Otherwise, if we fight a few more battles, this old bone will be confessed on the grassland sooner or later!" Li Ji couldn't help but sigh at this time.

A look of sympathy appeared on Li Shimin's face. He knew the hard work of the generals fighting abroad. If it weren't for these brave Tang soldiers who fought hard for the country, there would be no such pleasant conversation today.

Sitting on the sidelines, Li Chengtong found it strange, especially when he heard Li Ji and Li Jing say that there was no food or salt for the battle, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Didn't it mean that soldiers would carry salt with them during the battle?"

Li Jing and Li Ji had a chat and ignored the child Li Chengtong. Li Daozong looked a little embarrassed, and quickly lowered his voice to explain to his daughter, "Girl, that's what I told you about fighting in the Tang Dynasty."

"General Li and the others are fighting abroad, but they are not as easy to get supplies as your father and I. Let alone eating, it is impossible to eat salt! The little salt in the army is no better than the fine salt we eat on weekdays. It's coarse salt!"

"Coarse salt has a lot of impurities, and many of them are poisonous because of insufficient purification, but even so, such coarse salt is a treasure in the army!"

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about to the Princess? She is still young and doesn't understand the problem of salt. Besides, it's not just the army that eats coarse salt, the common people also eat coarse salt, some even I can't even afford coarse salt!" Li Ji waved his hand with a smile.

When Li Chengtong heard what Li Ji said, she was stunned again. She had always lived in the palace and knew very little about the things outside. She understood that she had said the wrong thing and quickly shrank her neck, "I'm sorry for making you laugh. .”

Li Shimin laughed aloud, "It's okay, eating salt in Datang is indeed a big problem now. For thousands of years, there is no good solution to solve it. This is our helplessness!"

As soon as Li Shimin said this, Li Jing, Li Ji and others echoed and agreed that eating salt has been a major problem in all dynasties.

Otherwise, why should the government monopolize salt and iron? It is because salt and iron crafts are too precious, so it can only be done by the imperial court. If private individuals dare to sell salt and iron, it is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the family!
[Just eat it with salt, how can it be so complicated, and there has been no good solution for thousands of years, shit! 】

[Obviously it's Li Er, you old bastard, you're stupid, you still have the face to blame your ancestors, you're not ashamed, you don't do anything human! 】

【If you don’t have enough salt, make it. It’s not a difficult thing. If you let me do it, it should be done in an instant! 】

Li Fu sat quietly at the side and listened to the words of the big bosses, but he was slandering from time to time in his heart, and his slandering voices entered Li Shimin's mind verbatim.
