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

Chapter 427 The Dowry
Li Fu nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin came back, holding a freshly killed pheasant and some fresh vegetables in his hand.

After tossing for a long time, a table of good dishes is all ready.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Cheng Yaojin has already drunk half a catty of wine, and is very drunk.

"Li Fu, you are good at it. I, Cheng, have been fighting for half my life. There are not many people I can admire. You, Li Fu, are one of them!"

"This Zhao family, if you mess it up, it's already a mess by now, but you really belong to it!"

Cheng Yaojin drank a lot, and now he is out of his wits when he speaks.

In normal times, although they had a close relationship with Li Fu, they were still divided into monarchs and ministers when they talked and acted. No matter what, Li Fu's identity was also there.

However, now Cheng Yaojin can be said to be very presumptuous, and he has no sense of propriety in speaking.

Fortunately, Li Fu doesn't care about these things, and he also knows Cheng Yaojin's temperament, which is the virtue every time he finishes drinking.

After talking about this topic, they started discussing about Goryeo again.

The Goryeo envoy wanted to get Goryeo and Datang to marry each other, and Li Er was also worried about this matter.

"Then why did the envoy of Goryeo make such a request? It is said that Goryeo is quite powerful now, so how could she bow her knees and want to marry in Tang Dynasty?"

Li Fu really couldn't understand this matter, so he spoke.

Qin Shubao took a sip of wine, pondered for a moment, and said, "Who knows, everyone in the court is guessing what this Korean envoy means."

"It's just that no one can tell. This Korean envoy is too cunning."

"Did they want something else?" Li Fu suddenly thought of something, "By the way, do they have any additional conditions?"

Qin Shubao thought for a while, and then said: "Well, Your Majesty told us that the Korean envoy made a request and wanted something for dowry."

Li Fu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What dowry?"

Since there is such a condition, then the dowry is likely to be what the Korean envoy wanted.

And this marriage seems to be just a cover for Goryeo.

Qin Shubao shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, it seems that no news has come out yet."

They didn't bother to talk about this topic, the generals were still concerned about Li Fu's marriage.

"His Royal Highness, if there is nothing else, then get married quickly. Miss Zhao is very good."

On weekdays, although there was a gap in status between Qin Shubao and Li Fu, Qin Shubao still regarded Li Fu as a very good junior.

Cheng Yaojin was drunk, so he quickly took over the conversation and said: "That's right, we people are also uncles after all, and we will definitely give you a big gift when the time comes!"

The few of them have a very good relationship with Li Fu, so they all hope that Li Fu can get married as soon as possible.

After drinking and eating, the six of them went back.

After Li Fu learned that the Huo family had collapsed, he also started to seriously develop his own business.

But there was one more thing that made Li Fu a little worried, and that was what the Korean envoy wanted.

They asked for some dowry, but Li Fu still doesn't know what the dowry is.

Originally, Li Fu wanted to go to the palace to ask Li Er for clarification, but he didn't go either, so he was not in a hurry.

But before Li Fu found Li Er, Li Er came to Li Fu's house.

He didn't come by himself, but brought Fang Xuanling with him. Every time he came here, he liked to bring Fang Xuanling with him.

As soon as he entered, Fang Xuanling walked up to Li Fu with a smile on his face, and said, "Hahaha, thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Fu was stunned immediately, and asked, "What are you thanking me for?"

Fang Xuanling didn't say anything, just looked at Li Fu with a smile.

Li Er also laughed and said, "Okay, don't stand here anymore, let's go in and talk."

【What the hell is going on? Why are these two talking about it? 】

[Li Er, this old boy is getting more and more out of tune, so I have to deal with him sooner or later. 】

"Ahem!" Li Er coughed twice, and led Fang Xuanling inside first.

After entering the living room, Li Fu poured tea for the two of them.

Fang Xuanling took the teacup and put it on the table, took out a stack of papers from his sleeve, handed it to Li Fu and said, "His Royal Highness, here are the land deeds for the three salt mountains of the Huo family."

Li Fu was slightly taken aback, the Huo family's salt mountain should have been returned to the imperial court, which is not surprising.

However, why did Fang Xuanling take the title deed of Yanshan to him? Could it be that he wanted to give it to him as a gift?
With this thought, Li Fu shook his head in his heart.

Although he is the prince, he knows how stingy this Li Er is.

With Li Er's narrow-mindedness, how could he give the salt mountain to him? This is too strange.

"Hahaha, His Royal Highness, Your Majesty and I are here this time to discuss the price of salt with you."

Hearing this, Li Fu secretly laughed in his heart, this old boy revealed his purpose with just one sentence.

Seeing the smile in Li Fu's eyes, Fang Xuanling coughed twice, and continued: "Uh...Of course, these mountains of salt can't be given to you for nothing."

"You, as long as you give me the method of refining salt, it would be great."

Three salt mountains, but it is a big deal.

Li Fu also knew that the three salt mountains of Huo's family were much larger than his own, and the amount of salt produced every day was also huge.

Li Er, this boy, is really down to earth, he is willing to take out three mountains of salt in exchange for the method of refining salt with himself.

If the court really needed it, Li Fu would definitely hand over the salt refining method unconditionally.

But now, Li Er just wanted to compete with him for business, so Li Fu had to think about it.

Fang Xuanling was also in a difficult situation at this time, but this was His Majesty's personal order to get him a way to refine salt from Li Fu.

If it wasn't His Majesty's intention, he really didn't want to make this kind of deal with Li Fulai.

After thinking about it, Li Fu accepted the title deeds of the three salt mountains, and said, "Salt is very important to people's livelihood."

"Almost all ordinary people cannot do without this thing, so I hope Mr. Fang will pay more attention to the price of salt."

After all, with its own method of refining salt, the quality of salt produced by the imperial court in the future must be very good.

At that time, Li Fu is afraid that they will rely on this and raise the price of salt. If this is the case, there must be ordinary people who suffer so much.
