Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 38 Royal Dining Room Coarse Salt

Li Ze called up the system panel, looked at his few reputation points, made a rough calculation, and put together enough to get an acre of seeds.

But Li Ze didn't plan to spend it all. If some patients are too weak, they need to exchange some medicines through the system.

Let's try the water by planting half an acre first. Anyway, the yield of this thing is high enough, and it has basically doubled by nearly ten times.

After thinking for a while, Li Ze nodded slightly towards Empress Changsun: "I can't get out one acre of seeds, but half an acre should be fine."

"And the yield of this thing is very high, you can find half an acre of land that is fertile enough to do an experiment."

Empress Changsun grabbed Li Ze's arm excitedly: "You must first find your Majesty for this matter. This is a major event related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty. Food is a thing that is always better. If it can be widely promoted, the people of the Tang Dynasty will no longer have it." Worrying about food, no matter how many natural disasters, they can no longer threaten the foundation of my Tang Dynasty."

Although the Tang Dynasty did not lack food in recent years, disasters continued throughout the Tang Dynasty, and droughts, floods and locust plagues were very common.

Food is like the army, never afraid of shortage, only afraid that it will not be enough when needed.

Li Ze nodded solemnly: "Then please trouble the Empress to find someone to prepare the carriage, and I will go and move the seeds out."

Empress Changsun stuffed the pancakes in her arms casually, turned around and walked out of the house.

Only then did Li Ze approach the back room, picked up a big bag, and with a thought, a burst of dazzling brilliance suddenly radiated from the bag.

After a few breaths, a dense bag of potatoes appeared.

Then came another pocket...

At least two hundred catties of seeds are needed for half an acre of land, and Li Ze slowly replaces three bags of potatoes.

And six catties of corn in a small cloth bag.

After doing all this, Li Ze walked out the door with the corn bag in one hand and the potato bag in the other.

As soon as they walked to the door, several villagers saw Li Ze's movements and hurried up to pick him up.

Li Ze waved his hand and pointed to the room: "There are still two bags inside."

"Boom!"

Throwing the bag in the car violently.

Not long after, the other two bags of potatoes were also brought out by the villagers.

"Master Li, what are these?" Several farmers looked at the sack curiously, and through the gaps in the sack, they could only see some yellow skin.

"Food is a good thing that can provide food and clothing for all the people of the Tang Dynasty. But now we have to let His Majesty plant the first batch of seeds. By next year, everyone will be able to eat it." Li Ze clapped his hands and nodded towards the groom. nod.

The carriage drove slowly towards Chang'an City. Empress Changsun sat in the carriage and looked at the cart carrying potatoes from time to time.

I am afraid that I will accidentally drop a bag on the road.

Li Ze is also looking forward to planting potatoes as soon as possible to improve his life.

I'm really tired of eating porridge and noodles every day. Maybe I can also fry French fries, potato chips, and roasted corn...

If only I could have a glass of happy water.

Thinking about it, my mouth involuntarily began to secrete saliva.

Wait until the smallpox is over, and get Coke out of everything!
At the same time, Chang'an City.

In the royal study of the palace, Li held a piece of silk cloth in his second hand, on which he carefully recorded the prices of medicinal herbs and coarse salt in the recent period.

Today's coarse salt is as expensive as gold, rising from tens of pennies a dou to the terrifying thousands of pennies a dou.

It seems that dignitaries are still afraid of death, even so, there are still a large number of people who will spare no effort to buy coarse salt.

One is to completely turn salt into a scarce commodity, and the rarest thing is the most expensive thing, and the price is crazily raised.

The second is because the salt water disinfection method promoted by Changsun Wuji and Sun Simiao has little effect, but it is better than nothing.

"It seems that as Ze'er expected, the price of salt is rising much faster than that of medicinal herbs. It seems that we have to speed up the purchase of medicinal herbs." Li Er looked at it with a faint smile on his face.

How high the price of salt is now will be how low it will be when refined salt is born.

One high and one low, completely shattered those salt dealers.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the medicinal material shops in the state capitals near Chang'an City have basically been swept away, and they are all on the way to Chang'an City now. This is the account, please read it over, Your Majesty." Du Ruhui took out a small notebook from his sleeve, presented.

"Don't worry about Du Shangshu's work. After the medicinal materials arrive in Chang'an City, they will be dispatched to Du Village and handed over to Ze'er immediately. At this time, don't be negligent. Every time smallpox drags on, Datang will be in danger. The foreigners have not noticed the smallpox in my Tang Dynasty, so they should eradicate the smallpox as soon as possible, all of which need a lot of work from Ze'er." Li Eryi said about his proud eldest prince, with a proud look on his face More and more intense.

Fang Xuanling cupped his hands towards Li Er, lowered his head and said, "It's a pity that the ministers are incompetent and cannot share the worries of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the First Prince."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, my Ze'er is in the disaster area, this little smallpox is not a threat at all. By the way, how much coarse salt has that old Pei Ji collected?" Li Er asked Fang Xuanling and the others slightly. He leaned forward, his face full of curiosity.

All eyes turned to Changsun Wuji. Recently, Changsun Wuji and Pei Ji were frantically buying coarse salt.

Changsun Wuji coughed slightly: "Return to Your Majesty, I speculate that the coarse salt that Prime Minister Pei has received is nearly three hundred shi."

"hiss……"

Even though the people in this room are very rich now, they still gasped in shock.

"Three hundred stones! What a Pei Ji!" When Li Er heard this number, the corners of his eyes twitched in shock.

"If I sell the coarse salt in the palace now on the market, what is the appropriate price?"

Li Er glanced at the crowd expectantly.

Changsun Wuji stood up from his position: "I learned that the price of salt has recently risen to [-] Wen a bucket. If your majesty wants to sell it, I can find some of my subordinates and ask them to pretend to be salt dealers. Dispose of the salt at a high price."

As soon as the words were finished, Fang Xuanling also stood up suddenly: "It's still not safe to find someone, it's best to find some trustees to drive up the market price, let Pei Ji and others see if they are the only ones hoarding salt in the market, wait for them to rush Now, this salt is even better!"

"Hahahaha, that's right!" Changsun Wuji laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said winkingly: "I have already investigated who are Pei Ji's subordinates in the market. When the time comes, we will gather people to put on a big show. I'm not afraid that old fox Pei Ji won't take the bait!"

Li Er nodded in satisfaction. As expected of Changsun Wuji, he is really a chicken thief.

In this wave, Pei Ji thought that the court was on the first floor and he was on the second floor. What he didn't know was that the court had already been watching his every move on the fifth floor.

In this wave, Pei Ji was afraid that there would be no pants left.
