Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

These people are all the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and they are also very upright and loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian is also willing to cook for them next time.

Hearing this, Wei Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Your Highness, there is no reason for a prince to cook for a courtier."

"What's more, gentleman..."

Li Chengqian hurriedly waved to him and said, "Stop Zheng Guogong, don't tell me the truth today."

"With everyone's hard work, it is worthy of my palace to cook for several princes."

"We don't talk about the rituals of the monarch and his ministers, or the country and the country."

"Just a potluck meal."

The several princes were helpless, and looked at Li Shimin again.

Li Shimin was eating so much that he had no time to take care of them, he waved his hand and said, "Today, it's all up to the prince to arrange, just treat me as a diner."

Cheng Yaojin echoed: "Hey, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince both said that, you old fellows, why are you so pretentious?"

If he can't eat this dish or drink this wine today and goes out, he must teach Wei Zheng a lesson.

Soon...

Li Chengqian prepared a few generous dishes, and ordered someone to bring a few jars of "Immortal Drunk".

A big table was set up in the courtyard, and several princes sat around it.

Several princes picked up their chopsticks and wine glasses.

Another gust of wind swept through the clouds.

a long time……

The princes wiped their mouths and burped in satisfaction.

They don't know how long it has been since they had such a happy meal.

Everyone feels younger.

The prince cooks himself and cooks such delicious dishes for them.

Enough for them to blow for a lifetime.

Before leaving, Li Chengqian gave them a jar of "Drunken Immortal Wine" as a gift.

They may feel that they are making a lot of money, but Li Chengqian will never lose money.

Chapter 54 Salt is so delicious

late at night……

The moon is sparse and the breeze is blowing.

East Palace...

Imperial study...

Li Shimin looked at the memorial and drank weak tea.

In his mouth, he still lingered on the taste of Li Chengqian's cooking and the intoxicating taste of the fine wine and jade dew.

It's really memorable.

Liu Renyuan whispered twice from the side, "Your Majesty."

"His Majesty."

Li Shimin came back to his senses, "Huh?"

"Ai Qing, what do you want to tell me?"

Liu Renyuan said: "Today, Mrs. Zheng has opened a store specializing in mirrors in the eastern and western cities, named Qinghuo Trading Company."

Li Shimin was full of doubts, "Why, do I need to know about this kind of thing?"

"What doorway is there?"

Liu Renyuan took out a mirror, "Your Majesty, just look at this mirror and you will know."

Li Shimin took the mirror, put it in front of him, and stared blankly.

He couldn't believe it: "This... is this a mirror?"

The self in the mirror is extremely clear, as if another self is standing in front of him.

Li Shimin had never observed himself so carefully.

In the mirror, every trace of his face is clearly visible.

Both familiar and unfamiliar.

Li Shimin looked in the mirror, gradually feeling a little melancholy, unexpectedly, he was getting old slowly.

It's really a waste of time and makes people grow old.

Liu Ren longed for Li Shimin, who was immersed in his own world, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty."

"His Majesty."

Li Shimin came back to his senses.

"Huh? Ah..."

"The Zheng family has such advanced smelting technology? What kind of material is this mirror made of?"

"Why is the reflected picture so clear." Li Shimin held the mirror and smacked his tongue.

Liu Renyuan responded: "Your Majesty, this mirror is said to be made of a special material called glass. The craftsmanship is extremely complicated, and the Zheng family keeps this very secret."

"Today, [-] mirrors were sold out in just one hour in the East and West markets."

"The Qinghuo Trading Company has also made a lot of money because of this."

"Just this one item has made the Qinghuo Trading Company famous in the business in Chang'an City, and is famous all over the capital."

When money was mentioned, Li Shimin frowned suddenly.

As the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, he has never lived a prosperous life. The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population.

Moreover, many earning businesses have already been scooped up by the five surnames and Qiwang, and it is difficult for even the imperial court to reach in.

Datang's finances were supported only by those meager taxes.

If Li Chengqian hadn't raided Lu's house and handed over a lot of gold and silver treasures, Li Shimin would not have lived so comfortably during this time.

mind this...

Li Shimin was delighted that he had given birth to a good son again.

Li Chengqian, unknowingly, has solved many troubles for himself.

"My son is so smart, if he devotes himself to business, I don't know if he will make some achievements."

"If that's the case, I don't have to worry about money."

The feudal dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and the idea of ​​agricultural standard was extremely serious.

Businessmen are not only low in status, they are also subject to many restrictions in society.

They are often rich, but without honor.

However, at this time, Li Shimin has realized the importance of commerce and has a little awareness of promoting the development of commerce and economy.

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, "The old fox Zheng Yingjie said he wanted to take refuge in the imperial court. He didn't want to use this to play tricks."

Liu Renyuan replied: "This should not be possible."

Li Shimin looked up at him, a little puzzled by his quick reaction.

"Why are you so sure?"

Liu Renyuan cupped his hands and said, "Because the real boss behind the scenes of Qinghuo Trading Company is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Li Shimin didn't realize it for a while, "Who?"

Liu Renyuan repeated: "His Royal Highness!"

At this moment, Li Shimin's heart was beating loudly.

It's unbelievable.

I just thought about it casually, but I didn't expect it to really come true.

This Li Chengqian has such attainments in the business field.

Li Shimin said lightly: "So, the Zheng family has already joined the crown prince."

Liu Renyuan said: "It should be like this. Zheng Yingjie, the patriarch of the Zheng clan, visited His Royal Highness in person, and not only dismissed the Zheng clan's private army after returning."

"And in recent years, the children of the Zheng family who have done bad deeds have been expelled from the family."

"No matter who comes after the Zheng family, no matter how much credit they have made for the Zheng family, they will show no mercy."

When Liu Renyuan heard about this for the first time, he was also very shocked.

After all, it is not that simple for a thousand-year-old family to clear their name.

No one will trust them easily if they don't hurt their muscles, don't show their blood, and don't show their sincerity.

Li Shimin nodded.

In terms of qualifications and strength, the Zheng family has been at the bottom of the five surnames and seven names for so many years.

Their hands are still clean.

However, as far as this matter is concerned, Li Shimin is also happy to accept it.

Li Chengqian didn't have that much idea to ask Zheng Yingjie to dismiss the private army.

At this moment, from Li Shimin's point of view, it shows that Li Chengqian understands righteousness and is loyal to the court.

Li Shimin knew that the Zheng family was sincerely relying on the prince, so he was relieved.

After all, all the money was earned into the pockets of his own family.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "This old fox like Zheng Yingjie is quite sensible."

"But their family is deeply rooted, you must strictly follow up."

"If you find that they have any actions that are not conducive to the prince, you can kill them first and act later."

Liu Renyuan replied: "The general will understand."

"The last general still has a piece of news to report to His Majesty."

"Qinghuo Trading Company released the news that after seven days, the Trading Company will add a new product."

"Fine salt!"

Li Shimin was a little confused when he heard this, "Fine salt! What kind of salt is that?"

"Is it different from the mineral salt and sea salt we eat?"

Liu Renyuan responded: "Your Majesty, you can tell right away."

"This is something that the general spent a lot of effort to get. The sample pack sent by Qinghuo Trading Company."

As Liu Renyuan said, he reluctantly took out a small bag of fine salt and put it in the hands of the old eunuch Chen Lin.

After Chen Lin tested the poison, she transferred the packaged fine salt to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin opened it gently, and saw the crystal clear inside, which was shaped like fine salt like a small spar, and became more and more curious.

"This... is this salt?"

Liu Renyuan nodded, "At first, the general didn't believe it."

"Your Majesty, you can try it."

Liu Renyuan had an expectant expression on his face, which made Li Shimin a little helpless.

Isn't it just salt?

Li Shimin thought to himself, picked up a little salt and put it in his mouth.
