Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

Su Chen didn't know the system was scolding him.

"The so-called Mineral Resources Bureau is: the court department that manages all mineral resources in the Tang Dynasty."

"After this department is established, the first thing is to nationalize all the mineral resources in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin almost understood, "What does mineral resources include? What is the purpose of nationalization?"

Su Chen smiled, knowing that someone would ask this, but he didn't understand why it was his father-in-law who asked.

"Mineral resources include all mines. At present, the most important ones are salt, iron, and coal mines. They must be nationalized as soon as possible, and..."

Just when Su Chen was about to continue to talk big, the system sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for revealing the method of salt refining. The following items are specially rewarded:

Potatoes: 5,000 kg

Corn: 5,000 kg.

Cement formula.

Glass firing method.

All diseases are gone x5.

The items have been distributed to the system space, please check! 】

Su Chen stood up suddenly.

At this moment, Su Chen thought a lot. Although sweet potatoes have a high yield, they cannot be used as a staple food for a long time.

Eating too much will make you fart easily.

But corn and potatoes are serious staple foods.

All his plans later have a premise, that is, people have to fill their stomachs first.

Otherwise, even if they are paid, they will still be hungry.

This is the general environment of food shortage.

These seeds are the same as before. Su Chen does not plan to plant them for the people outside. He will plant a batch of them first, harvest them as seeds, and then plant them for other people.

Otherwise, they will eat all the seeds because of hunger.

Li Shimin wondered what happened to this kid? When he noticed Su Chen's eyes, he realized that things might not be simple.

Don't bother him.

Su Chen's consciousness swept to the system space. Wow, it was full of potatoes and corn.

There was also a small pile of corn that had not been threshed, about a hundred corn cobs, very fresh.

This is very humane.

Su Chen retracted his consciousness and then laughed. His laughter was incomprehensible and a bit mean.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"

Li Chengqian gently pulled Su Chen's clothes.

Su Chen came back to his senses, apologized to everyone and sat down.

However, he stood up again immediately after sitting down.

"Wang Chao, send someone to see if the sweet potatoes have been planted. If they have, let someone notify the village chief to continue in the afternoon."

"Yes, owner."

"Ma Han, come with me, everyone wait a moment!"

After that, Su Chen took Ma Han to a warehouse, which was already full of potatoes and corn.

Tell Ma Han to cut potatoes and the planting requirements of corn and be responsible for teaching the villagers to plant them in the afternoon.

Afterwards, find the maid and the servant to pack some potatoes and corn, wash them, and cook them.

Su Chen returned to the living room and smiled, "Uncle, where were we just talking about?"

He was so excited that he didn't remember where he was just talking about.

Li Shimin smiled, "You just said that salt and iron coal mines must be nationalized. By the way, what kind of coal are you talking about?"

Su Chen was about to explain, but remembered that the villagers said yesterday that they called the coal "black stone".

"The black stone you are talking about" is coal.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, "As far as I know, this black stone will produce poisonous gas during the combustion process. What is the use of it?"

Su Chen smiled, "That's because you don't know what anthracite is. ’

“Uncle, this coal is very useful. The country needs it to develop rapidly. The reason why poisonous gas is produced is because of incomplete combustion.”

Li Shimin didn’t understand, but nodded, “If we nationalize all of it, it will be difficult!”

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, “This is not a difficult task. First, nationalize the unowned minerals. As for the noble families, they will take the initiative to hand them over.”

“Can you not hand them over? If you keep them in your hands, they will be waste and you will be scolded by the people.”

Su Chen has something more poisonous behind him!

After thinking about it, Li Shimin continued to ask, “You said you want to share this refining method, and what about the mining license? How do you explain it?”

He had only a vague understanding of these words that Su Chen had never heard of.

Su Chen thought about it and organized his words. "Take salt for example. After the court takes back all the salt mines, the mining rights can be auctioned off to the highest bidder."

"Let powerful merchants or noble families mine, refine and sell on their own. The court only sets prices and collects 20% tax."

Now Li Shimin understood, and everyone else understood.

Su Chen's trick not only solved the quality and price problems of salt, but also helped to nationalize the salt mines.

If the noble families do not fully match, the salt mines in their hands will be worthless like waste.

With the improved fine salt on the market, whoI will also buy your coarse salt.

If they cooperate well, they can still make some profits by following the royal family for a long time. Otherwise, they can't do any business related to salt.

Do you really think Li Shimin is afraid of the noble families? He only cares about his reputation. If the people stand on his side, the noble families are just chickens and pottery dogs.

"It is indeed the national teacher. Jiang Ziya, who has been in power for 800 years, is no more than this."

Li Shimin nodded excitedly, suddenly stood up and shouted.

Changsun Wuji and others also stood up and bowed, saying: "National teacher, we bow down to you!"

Su Chen was puzzled. When did I become the national teacher?

That thing is not appropriate, it's too troublesome.

He just wanted to complete the task.

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand.

Just thought they were joking.

But he didn't know that they were not joking.

Su Chen felt that potatoes and corn were not good, and they were almost ready to be cooked.

"Ma Han, go and call back Li Zhi and Xiao Sizi!"

...

Leshan Restaurant.

In a private room on the third floor.

"Master Lu, Master Zheng, Master Cui, please come in!"

"Master Wang, please come in!"

Eight people sat in a private room, drinking and laughing. This group of people seemed to be led by Master Wang.

"Master Wang, Master Cui is really high. The price of grain and salt is changing every day. Li Er dare not say a word."

Master Lu Changfeng smiled and flattered.

Master Cui Bo also laughed and said, "Humph, if the prediction is correct, a large number of refugees will pour into Chang'an within three months. By then, let's see if Li Er will bow his head."

"Hahaha..."

Everyone laughed!

...

Royal Zhuangguo.

The maids brought plates of cooked and steaming potatoes and corn to the living room.

It looked golden and beautiful.

"Su Chen, what is this? Is it also a high-yield grain?"

Li Shimin asked, looking at the things in front of him.

They had never seen these two things, but they smelled very good, so they must be food.

Maybe it was because Su Chen was good-looking and gave her Wangzi.

The little Sizi, who was originally sitting opposite, rubbed off Changle's legs and ran to Su Chen.

Su Chen smiled and picked her up and put her on his legs, looking at everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone try it first, and then I will talk about it."

Then he asked the maid to get a chopstick and inserted it into the corn cob.

"Little Sizi, come here, be careful of the heat!"

Su Chen thought that the little girl should not like to eat these boiled potatoes, and corn is sweet and she should like it.

"Thank you, big pot!"
