Chapter 398

Cheng Chusi was very excited when he saw that there was salt on Qin Huaidao's side. He was also worried that Qin Huaidao would not be able to make it.

"I said Boping, Your Majesty is in Chang'an City, but he is worried that he can't sleep well! He didn't see you report, and he didn't know you made it out, so he sent me to take a look.

So is me, and we all worry about the generals and brothers. Now I feel relieved when I see you made it out!" Cheng Chusi said as he looked at Qin Huaidao.

"Hey, I can't go back now. If I go back, the aristocratic family will know immediately. And after you go back, you should be as sad as possible, otherwise the aristocratic family can see it.

You have reported to Your Majesty, and you must let Your Majesty feel sad. I don’t have much inventory here. Now it’s just over 1,000 dan, but tomorrow it will be more than 1,500 dan.

From now on, it will be estimated that more than 500 dans will increase by more than ten days. If it is sunny for more than ten days, then it will be estimated that more than 1,000 dans will increase by every day.

Now we need to store salt. According to what I know, the Tang Dynasty needs to consume 100 dan of salt every day. That is to say, if I don’t store more than 15,000 dans here, it is unsafe and not enough for the people to survive from winter to spring next year.

You have also seen that my method is different from the method of the family. According to the current situation, it increases by 100 dan every day. I estimate that it can save 15,000 dan in about 20 days.

In 20 days, if it doesn’t rain, we will be able to save more, so now, don’t rush to announce this news!" Qin Huaidao said to Cheng Chusi.

Cheng Chusi was stunned by Qin Huaidao's words, and he didn't understand the twists and turns inside.

"Remember, don't show a happy expression. I need to stabilize it in the past 20 days. Although the salt price is 30 cents now, I believe that the people can still hold on and hold on for as long as possible. At that time, I will let him directly drop to one cent per pound!" Qin Huaidao stood there, staring at Cheng Chusi and said.

"One penny per kilogram?" Cheng Chusi raised a finger in shock and stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"That's right, as long as you survive this winter, salt will not be a problem at all. You will have as much as you want. At that time, these salt fields can produce thousands of dans a day. Of course, it is not available every day. As long as the sky is clear, it will be available for a while. Salt is not a problem. You can tell your Majesty what I say!" Qin Huaidao said to Cheng Chusi.

"Okay! I'll tell you the truth, and I'll try not to express my happy expression as much as possible." Cheng Chusi nodded to Qin Huaidao.

Then Qin Huaidao took him to the warehouse to see the salt. Now a warehouse has been built here, and other houses are also being built. The army is dragging bricks and stones over, and the soldiers are building them directly. In the future, there will be a garrison here.

Moreover, these production processes will be handed over to ordinary workers in the future, and those soldiers are no longer needed.

"Oh my god, so much salt?" Cheng Chusi was shocked at the salt piled in the warehouse.

"These salt is enough for the people across the country to eat for 10 days, but it is not enough, and more is needed. We need to save salt for about 5 months!" Qin Huaidao said to Cheng Chusi, and Cheng Chusi nodded.

After a while, Yuchi Baolin also came in. Qin Huaidao and Yuchi Baolin had been here for a while. Of course, they were happy to see Cheng Chusi.

However, after a short period of greetings, Cheng Chusi needed to return to Chang'an to report. Soon, Cheng Chusi went back. Along the way, Cheng Chusi had a gloomy face.

Some people were waiting for Cheng Chusi on the road. Seeing Cheng Chusi like this, they felt much more relieved. They had already received the news that Cheng Chusi went to the salt lake.

When he arrived at the palace, Cheng Chusi went directly to meet Li Shimin, and in Li Shimin's study, Fang Xuanling and the others were sitting here.

"Tell me, what's going on? But I got salt?" Li Shimin's heart was calm when he saw Cheng Chusi's expression of unhappiness.

Fang Xuanling, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi were also staring at Cheng Chusi.

"Your Majesty, I need to report it alone!" Cheng Chusi said with fists at Li Shimin.

"Oh, report alone, okay, today's matter has been discussed, so you can go out first!" Li Shimin waved his hand at those people when he heard Cheng Chusi say this.

When Li Tai looked at this scene, he sneered in his heart, knowing that this time it must be lingering, and the aristocratic family is going to win.

Soon, Li Tai and the others went out, while Li Shimin stared at Cheng Chusi.

"Your Majesty, you have made the salt!" Cheng Chusi smiled and said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was stunned by him, feeling that he had heard it wrong or read it wrong. Cheng Chusi smiled and said he had made it out.

"You, what did you say?" Li Shimin stared at Cheng Chusi and asked.

"Your Majesty, the salt has been brought out. Boping asked me to pretend to be depressed. He said that the news cannot be known to others." Cheng Chusi looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile.

"It's done, okay, okay, it's done!" After hearing this, Li Shimin was very excited and stood up and walked in the Ganlu Hall.

"Your Majesty, you must be calm. Qin Huaidao has something to tell you!" Cheng Chusi followed Li Shimin and said to Li Shimin.

"Say!" Li Shimin was very happy when he heard this, and turned around and stared at Cheng Chusi and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cheng Chusi then passed on all the words Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.

"Well, okay, okay, that's what it means, and I can't let them know now? By the way, can I really produce more than 500 dans per day?" After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Cheng Chusi and asked.

"Boping said that, and there are 1,000 harboring salt in the warehouse. He said that he could sell it when he had saved 15,000 harboring salt, because Boping's method was fast, but it might not be possible to do it even if it rains and winter!" Cheng Chusi looked at Li Shimin and reported.

"Oh, that's right, you need to save enough, okay, I'm relieved now. I'm still worried about not having salt! He said that about 20 days is enough, right?" Li Shimin nodded excitedly and stared at Cheng Chusi and said.

"That's right, about 20 days, as long as it doesn't rain, it's fine." Cheng Chusi nodded and said!

"Okay!" Li Shimin started walking in Ganlu Palace with his hands behind his back, thinking about what Qin Huaidao just said.

"Well, after you go out, don't show up with a happy expression. I am the same. During this period, I'd better not show up. Let Gao Ming handle government affairs, and I won't go!" Li Shimin said there, and Cheng Chusi followed behind and nodded.

At noon, the news that Qin Huaidao did not get salt came out. The people from the aristocratic family were very excited. They could make a lot of money for 30 cents per catty.

Those salt workshops can get one or two hundred dan a day and earn five or six hundred dan a day. This is real money, and it is like this every day!

"Is the news true? Qin Huaidao really didn't get salt?" Changsun Wuji looked at Lawyer Pei in shock after hearing what Lawyer Pei said in his mansion.

"It is true, it was reported by the King of Wei himself, and other ministers have also seen it.

Early this morning, Your Majesty sent Cheng Chusi to the salt lake. When he came back, he looked very depressed. Then he met His Majesty alone. Cheng Chusi didn't dare to look at His Majesty. If it weren't done, why should Cheng Chusi do this?" Lawyer Pei said happily at Changsun Wuji.

"Okay, okay, that's great. Your Majesty lost. If this price lasts for more than two months, the people will definitely be in chaos. OK!" Changsun Wuji heard it and said excitedly.

It’s not that he hopes that the people will become chaotic, and chaos will definitely not happen. The aristocratic family will definitely negotiate with Li Shimin again and get their interests back.

Li Shimin had to compromise. By then, Li Shimin would not be so tough. Next, the aristocratic family could also gain more benefits, including the right to speak in the court. These are very important. During this period, the aristocratic family was suppressed by His Majesty, and this time it was a turnaround.

"Yes, if this is the case, Qin Huaidao's crime this time will be a big deal. I guess many people will start writing letters to impeach Duke Hu tomorrow!" Lawyer Pei smiled and said as he looked at Changsun Wuji.

"Well, I want to impeach, that is, he confuses Your Majesty and makes his Majesty make a wrong decision. Qin Huaidao must bear this matter. But now the officials of our aristocratic family should not say this. It seems that the heads of the family reached an agreement with Qin Huaidao and could not impeach Qin Huaidao.

However, if you don’t impeach, you must let the whole Tang Dynasty know that Qin Huaidao is the one who encouraged His Majesty to take back the salt!" Changsun Wuji stood there and said sneered, Lawyer Pei also nodded with a smile.

Everyone knows this, and it has nothing to do with Qin Huaidao. Qin Huaidao was also assigned by His Majesty. There is no reason to impeach Qin Huaidao, but the people don’t know that they need to defeat Qin Huaidao’s reputation first.

At that time, Li Shimin could only withdraw Qin Huaidao as a scapegoat. Li Shimin himself would definitely not be able to take responsibility, and Li Chengqian would not do it, so Qin Huaidao was in trouble. Changsun Wuji had already planned it.

"Let me tell you first, the impeachment will increase every day. Tomorrow, let those low-level officials impeach them and see your Majesty's attitude!" Changsun Wuji sat down and told Lawyer Pei.

"Yes!" Lawyer Pei bowed.

"It's a pity that I can't push it to the prince this time. Let everyone think about whether this matter can be pushed to the prince. I guess His Highness, the King of Wei, needs such a result even more. Let the people from His Highness the King of Wei think about it!" Changsun Wuji thought for a while and explained to Lawyer Pei.
