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

Chapter 368 Buying Salt Mountain
At this time, the second son, Shen Jie, asked, "Do you know how much a salt mountain is worth? How much can you give?"

Li Fu continued: "Of course I know that the market price of a salt mountain is about 3000 taels of silver."

"However, the salt mountain in your house is quite problematic. I can offer 2000 taels."

2000 two?
When hearing this number, Shen Lian hesitated.

In fact, to be honest, that mountain of salt, at present, has no effect on my Shen family.

After all, salt mountains are used to produce salt, but the salt produced by this salt mountain in my home is not edible at all.

So this salt mountain can be said to be useless, it is simply a decoration.

Such a useless thing is exchanged for 2000 taels, which can be said to be money for nothing.

"What do you want to buy this salt mountain?" Shen Lian asked Li Fu.

Li Fu shrugged and replied, "Salt Mountain, Salt Mountain, naturally wants to sell salt."

He didn't mention at all that the salt from this salt mountain cannot be eaten.

"Well, since you really want to buy it so sincerely, it doesn't matter if we suffer a loss." Shen Lian pretended to be embarrassed, and said to Li Fu.

Looking at it from the outside, those who didn't know it thought it was his Shen family who suffered a lot.

In this dynasty, 2000 taels of silver is still very objective, and you can buy a lot of things.

Even his Shen family's house could not be sold for 2000 taels of silver.

After finishing the handover procedures, Shen Lian didn't keep Li Fu and the others any longer.

And Li Fu and Lao Lu didn't bother to stay in Shen's house at all, and now that Yanshan was in their hands, they left quickly.

After going out, Li Fu finally laughed.

The two sons of the Shen family thought that they had taken advantage of it, and they couldn't wait to complete the transaction.

This kind of idiot is really laughable to death.

However, then again, making this deal is indeed a big advantage for the Shen family.

In their hands, this salt mountain is useless at all. With their salt refining technology, there is no way to refine refined salt.

It would be a good thing to sell him.

And for Li Fu, it was tantamount to picking up a big bargain.

To Li Fu, such a mountain of salt was worth more than a few hundred thousand taels of silver.

However, he actually bought it at a low price of 2000 taels, which is simply a blessing in disguise.

This time it was also thanks to the fact that the old guy Shen Ku was not at home, otherwise, this matter would not have gone so smoothly.

……

Three days later, in the palace.

Li Er was writing the memorial very late last night, and was falling asleep in the morning when he heard someone shouting outside.

After getting up and asking, I realized that it was Fang Xuanling who came to report something.

He knew that Fang Xuanling was a prudent person, if there were no major incidents, it would be impossible for him to come here to disturb his sleep.

So Li Er struggled to get off the bed and met Fang Xuanling.

"Fang Aiqing, what is the urgent matter that made you come here before dawn?" Li Er asked sleepily.

Fang Xuanling panted for a while, obviously running a little too fast.

After he slowed down for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, there is news. There is a good news from Xianbei that Xianbei has surrendered to Datang!"

what?
Hearing such exciting news, Li Er's drowsiness dissipated immediately.

The entire Xianbei belongs to Datang in this way, which is so exciting.

Fang Xuanling also showed joy, and said: "Your Majesty, this result is exactly as predicted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"This kid is so smart, it's really terrifying!" Li Er sighed.

"This is a military report from the front line. Please read it, Your Majesty." After speaking, Fang Xuanling handed over the memorial and then withdrew.

Li Er was excited about the result, and then quickly glanced at it, and probably understood it in detail.

It was really exciting to know such news early in the morning.

Li Er left Fang Xuanling behind and asked him to have breakfast with him.

……

In the prince's mansion, Li Fu got up just after dawn.

It was rare for him to get up so early, and he was walking on the main road, looking around.

The butler, Lao Lu, also followed him.

"Old Lu, when you were in the past, did you ever see any disaster victims?" Li Fu turned his head and asked Old Lu.

The temperature was very low at this time, and when he spoke, white mist spit out from his mouth.

"I've seen it before." Lao Lu recalled for a moment and said, "It was about fifteen or sixteen years ago. At that time, I hadn't followed the young master."

Li Fu nodded and continued to ask: "Then tell me, what are the disaster victims like?"

He is still very curious about this question.

Lao Lu sighed, and continued: "The disaster victims are most afraid of such cold weather, because they don't have any decent clothes at all."

"Moreover, they are also in short supply of food. In that case, there is no food at all, and the victims can only gnaw tree bark and grass roots."

"It's even worse. They're about to eat the dirt. People who ate the dirt and swelled to death are everywhere."

Hearing this, Li Fu felt a little sad in his heart.

Lao Lu felt sad and said sadly: "The life of the common people is very cheap. In the eyes of the powerful, they are worthless at all."

Talking, they arrived at their destination.

In front of them were the [-] disaster victims that Li Fu was going to take in.

Li Fu looked around and found that these victims, just like what Lao Lu said before, were naked.

All of them stood together, and none of them could be seen wearing a full suit.

Li Fu was wearing cotton clothes, and in this weather, he still looked a bit cold.

It can be seen how much these disaster victims are suffering now.

In just two kilometers, they walked for about a night before they came here.

"His Royal Highness." The officials escorting the victims dismounted and saluted after seeing Li Fu.

Li Fu saw that the official was wearing a gorgeous padded jacket, and the victims' lips were all purple from the cold, and he was a little angry at the moment.

However, he still held back and did not get angry with the official.

"Thank you for your hard work." Li Fu said holding back his anger.

This man's name is Liu Yan, and he is an official of the Ministry of household affairs.

Fang Xuanling specially arranged for him to escort the victims to Chang'an City this time.

After handing over the victims to Li Fu, Liu Yan didn't stay any longer and left quickly.

All he wanted now was to go back and drink some hot soup, then take a nap and have a nice day's rest.

After waiting for Liu Yan to leave, Li Fu looked at the eyes of those victims looking at him, all of them were full of hope, and he was also very excited.

In the future, I can help these victims.
