Chapter 407 It's All Salt
Chapter 407 The people in Chang'an City were talking about what they were doing when they went to the salt lake so many carriages? Some people thought about salt, but they didn't dare to think about it. After all, the price of salt is so expensive now.
But many people still hope that it is salt. Of course, many people hope that it is not salt. The officials of the aristocratic family are now waiting for news in their mansions.
In the afternoon, the people found that there was still no news and were a little disappointed. They should buy salt if they should go tomorrow. There was no way, salt was expensive, but they also had to eat it.
"Look, the carriage is back, what is the white thing behind the carriage!" At the west gate, many people who were preparing to leave the city saw a large number of carriages rushing over here in the distance, and ordered to stop and look at the carriages, and beside the carriages were followed by the cavalry of the Wuwei.
"It's salt, it's really salt!" Some people shouted excitedly when they saw the baskets of salt. Then, after the convoys approached, the people were sure that the car was loaded with salt.
"It's great. With so much salt, it's from the court. I guess the price of salt will definitely drop!"
"Is it from the court or from aristocratic families? If it is from aristocratic families, then the price is not the same? Those aristocratic families are simply leeches!"...
The people were talking about it, after all, when they saw so much salt, they were also wondering whether this belonged to a noble family.
Then, the carriages began to pass through the west gate and began to walk into Chang'an City. The truckloads of salt were very shocking. The people along the way all stopped and looked at the convoys.
"Is this the salt from the court?" a bold commoner asked.
"Of course it is the salt in the court. Duke Hu made it. The price of salt will be reduced tomorrow!" A groom responded with a smile.
"That's great!" The people nearby heard it and cheered,
In a restaurant along the street, Changsun Wuji, Wei Ting, and the King of Wei were all standing here. The King of Wei looked at the carriages that were invisible below with a pale face. The carriages were filled with 4 tans of salt. There were probably only a few thousand tans of salt. I don’t know how many more there were on the salt lake.
"We have all been deceived. Qin Huaidao has already made salt. No wonder, Your Majesty did not negotiate with the people of the aristocratic family. He had long known that salt can be made!" Changsun Wuji also had a gloomy face.
He never dreamed that Qin Huaidao had really made salt in a short time, and there were so many carriages for transporting salt, and it took him half an hour to go.
Behind him was His Majesty's convoy. Qin Huaidao was also riding a horse at this moment. Now he has been handed over to a lieutenant to take charge. At that time, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will send officials and craftsmen there to make salt there, and the soldiers of the Wuwei no longer need to continue.
"Your Majesty's convoy is here. It must be salt from the court. The price of salt will definitely be reduced tomorrow!"
"It's great, it's from the court!"...
Some people who didn't know that Qin Huaidao made salt. When they saw Li Shimin's carriage, they knew that the salt must be His Majesty's. Now the people know about His Majesty's dispute with the aristocratic family. After all, the news about Chang'an City is still very well-versed, not to mention that this incident has happened for so long.
"Look, those people are staring at this salt. As soon as the salt is released tomorrow, the aristocratic family will be in trouble." Fang Xuanling was riding on the horse and said to Qin Huaidao beside him.
"I don't care about this anymore. Anyway, I'll leave it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and those soldiers will do it. When the Ministry of Civil Affairs sends people to study, I have to go home!" Qin Huaidao said to Fang Xuanling with a smile.
"Well, I just leave the rest to me. With salt, what are I afraid of?" Tang Jian said happily at this moment. The difficulty in front of me was over.
Soon, the news that Duke Hu got back salt spread all over Chang'an City. Some people who were queuing up to buy salt went home and stopped buying it.
Qin Huaidao escorted Li Shimin to the palace and went back home. He hadn't been home for almost a month. This time he would have to rest for a few days.
"The master is back!"
"The master is back!" Qin Huaidao's team had just arrived at the main road at the door of the mansion. The housekeeper and the servant shouted, and then the middle door opened. After all, Qin Huaidao had not been back for a month.
Li Lixian was holding Qin Yu at this moment, Wu Mei was holding Qin Han, and stood inside the middle gate, waiting for Qin Huaidao to come back.
"I've seen the master!" Qin Huaidao arrived at the door of the mansion, and the housekeepers and maids came out to salute Qin Huaidao.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work at home!" Qin Huaidao smiled and turned over and got off the horse, then walked into the mansion.
While still climbing the steps, Qin Huaidao saw Li Lixian and Wu Mei holding a child alone.
"Hahaha. Oh, I miss me so much!" Qin Huaidao smiled and quickly stepped up the steps and entered the mansion.
"I've seen the master!" Li Lixian, Wu Mei, and the maids in the mansion, shouted.
"Okay, okay, Xian'er, Wu Mei, thank you for your hard work. Master, I'm not at home this month, and you have to worry about the affairs at home." Qin Huaidao said to them with a smile, and took the two children at the same time and held one in one hand.
"Brother, brother!" Qin Jiao was standing behind Li Lixian at this moment and shouted loudly.
"Oh, Jiao'er, see if you have grown taller? Oh, I haven't grown taller, have you not eaten?" Qin Huaidao asked with a smile.
"Brother, I eat a lot of food every day. Ask your sisters-in-law!" Jiao'er immediately smiled and said, "I looked at Qin Huaidao.
"Hmph, it's weird if you believe me. When I was at home, you didn't eat much, so you knew that you could eat those snacks. If I was not at home, your two sisters-in-law could still control you?" Qin Huaidao said with a smile as he looked at Qin Jiao, while Qin Jiao was giggling.
"Master, let's do it!" Wu Mei smiled and reached out to pick up the two children.
"I'll come, I'll come, go, go back, go to the living room!" Qin Huaidao did not let him go, holding the two children, and walked forward,
Li Lixian and Wu Mei followed him respectively. After arriving in the living room, Qin Huaidao sat down and looked at the two children, and the two children also stared at Qin Huaidao.
"What are you looking at? I don't know my father anymore. Dad misses you a few." Qin Huaidao smiled and looked left and right.
"Master, let's do it, I'll take a break!" Wu Mei said with a smile, then hugged Qin Han and Qin Yu to the wet nurse behind.
"Master, I've been tanned a lot this time." Li Lixian looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and said.
"What do you think, if you bask in the sun outside every day, if your father doesn't come again, I will run back secretly, it's hot and sunny!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"It's just rumored outside that the master brought back salt, and it seemed to be loading more than a thousand cars, several thousand dans!" Li Lixian continued to say to Qin Huaidao. Just now the housekeeper came to report the news outside.
"Well, Master, I have made more than 30,000 ducts, which is almost enough for the entire Tang Dynasty to use for a year. I am still afraid that there will be no salt? Oh, this trip has made me exhausted!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
At this moment, on the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a large number of officials were watching the salt being carried into the warehouse of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Li Shimin was quite proud.
Some ministers, such as Changsun Wuji, Wei Ting and others, are here to see in person. They want to determine whether it is salt. Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi are also here. Now they have also confirmed that they are all salt.
"Auxiliary machine, I'm not worried about the issue of salt. This is just the first batch. There are more than 20,000 tents of salt in the warehouse of the Salt Lake. If you want to say, Boping has made all the dosages for the Tang Dynasty in one year. From tomorrow, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will officially sell salt!" Li Shimin deliberately called Changsun Wuji, and couldn't help but feel proud.
"Your Majesty, what price should I set for this salt tomorrow?" Tang Jian came over here and asked Li Shimin.
"Well, where is Boping?" Li Shimin looked around and found no trace of Qin Huaidao, so he asked.
"Go back to Your Majesty, I'm back. I'll escort you to the palace and go back!" Tang Jian immediately said to Li Shimin.
"Oh, why is this kid so home-loving?" Li Shimin heard it and said helplessly.
"Your Majesty, he hasn't been back for a month. Young man, I understand!" Zhang Liang next to him also said with a smile.
"Well. Then just 20 yuan per pound. Anyway, you remember that we are a penny cheaper than the salt of the aristocratic family. We just ordered it and we started selling it tomorrow!" Li Shimin said happily.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tang Jian also nodded, and Changsun Wuji and the others were shocked when they heard it, especially the saying, it was cheaper than the salt of the aristocratic family, which was to squeeze the aristocratic family's business to death.
"In addition, Fang Aiqing!" Li Shimin continued to shout.
"I'm here!" Fang Xuanling heard this and stood up.
"I inform the salt of the aristocratic family that in one month, the salt of the aristocratic family cannot be bought. If they have stock, they will sell it in this month. From now on, the salt can only be sold in the court and specialize in it!" Li Shimin then said to Fang Xuanling.
"Your Majesty, this is probably inappropriate!" Changsun Wuji took the question before Fang Xuanling could answer.
"What's wrong? Salt and pig iron must be sold in the court, and others cannot be sold. Once caught, it will be a death sentence!" Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and asked.
"Father, don't you all close the salt workshops of that aristocratic family?" Li Tai also looked at Li Shimin in shock and asked. Li Shimin glanced at him without answering him.
"I'm afraid the aristocratic family won't agree, right?" Changsun Wuji continued to ask.
"What can't be agreed with? Can't they continue to produce? I just said that salt can only be used in the court!" Li Shimin said in a very firm tone.
