The whole shop is already crazy.

The shopkeeper Li Xiao is already busy and he is in a state of turmoil.

People come to order themselves everywhere.

Of course, the guys who were most excited were Liu San and others.

Just an hour ago, they were still worried about their livelihoods, but now... they were full of sorrow over the instability of the supply.

"Young Master is such a great kindness. Didn't this bring everyone to make a fortune? Manager Li, fortunately you stopped me, otherwise if I quit my job, I'm afraid I'll regret it."

Liu Sanji looked at Li Xiao gratefully, his eyes filled with tears, and his heart was filled with unprecedented satisfaction and happiness.

"Now my mother has the money for medicine."

Li Xiao lowered his head and dialed his abacus, but just smiled, and suddenly his hand was suspended in the air, paused, thinking: "The real kindness is the young master."

After thinking for a moment, Liu San suddenly realized it and his eyes lit up: "No, not bad, young master, let everyone work harder and more, and then sell such good salt. Isn't this just to make us rich? Young master is kind-hearted and righteous."

Liu San said, giving a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, it’s not just the storm in the store, but Chen Zhengtai is now thinking about increasing production. However, salt refining must be kept confidential. The personnel required must be selected from the children of the Chen family. It will take some time to become a skilled worker.

This refined white salt sold well, which made Chen Zhengtai breathe a sigh of relief. Thinking of salt, Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but think of his mentor's health problems.

Be a teacher for one day and be a father for life.

After all, Chen Zhengtai originated from later generations and unlike people of this era, he has a deep-rooted concept of moral integrity.

When he was a disciple of Li Shimin, he was actually Chen Zhengtai who beat a snake and followed the stick. He still had some understanding of Tang Shi. Li Shimin is the kind of person who is tolerant of no matter how you jump on weekdays. Of course, the premise is that you cannot violate his fundamental interests. Otherwise, brothers will turn against each other.

Chen Zhengtai bet on Li Er, no, it was his closest relatives and beloved mentor who had this kind of demeanor.

The master has worshipped me, and the raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice. At least with this title, the biggest crisis of the Chen family holding the wrong thigh was relieved.

But how to enhance the relationship between teachers and students.

Chen Zhengtai hit Ma Zhou with his idea.

Ma Zhou was a subordinate serving his subordinates, and he often had the opportunity to meet Li Shimin.

Now he is working and raising pigs at the beginning. Especially after raising pigs for a long time, his body will always have some strange smell, and even if he takes a bath, it will be difficult to wash it clean. Every time he is on duty, his colleagues always look at him with a strange look.

But... I got used to it slowly.

Chen Zhengtai invited him to come and Ma Zhou sat down.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Mr. Ma..."

"My benefactor..." Ma Zhou had just sat down and heard Chen Zhengtai's inquiry, he immediately stood up and bowed to Chen Zhengtai solemnly.

Chen Zhengtai quickly waved his hand and said seriously: "Don't always benefactors come and go. You have lived in our Chen family these days. I, Chen Zhengtai, treat you as a relative."

Relatives are not the key point, you are living in our Chen family.

Ma Zhou couldn't help but burst into tears again: "What my benefactor said."

Chen Zhengtai said: "What have my mentors been doing recently?"

The horse's body shook and his old face turned slightly red.

To be honest, every time he hears Chen Zhengtai shouting out his mentor, he feels it is strange.

After all, I have been in a small place for a long time and have never seen the world. Now that I have met my benefactor, I only realize that there are all kinds of people in the world and that everyone has them.

Ma Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "The Emperor is worried about two things now. One is that our Tang army and horses are conquering the Liang Shidu capital. My benefactor doesn't know that this Liang Shidu occupies Hexi, only a few hundred miles away from Chang'an, and has 100,000 troops. This is not only a big problem for our Tang Dynasty, but also because he is neighbors with the Turks and colludes with the Turks. Hexi has many horses and is not far from Guanzhong. Once there is something wrong with Guanzhong, it can threaten Chang'an. If you don't wipe out Liang Shidu, Your Majesty will always be like a thorn."

Ma Zhou couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

In fact, this time the troops were deployed by Li Shimin himself. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was in trouble and there were not many troops that could be used. Li Shimin's original intention was to give Liang Shidao a heavy blow and regain some prefectures and counties. It would be a bit difficult to destroy Liang Shidao at one time. After all, once the war lasted for a long time, the Turks would definitely go south to support Liang Shidao, or attack the Tang Dynasty from other ways. The so-called cranes and clams were fighting, and the fisherman gained profits. In this battle, they only wanted to fight quickly. Once they got the advantage, they would immediately retreat.

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say, "Is that so? But I didn't tell my master that this battle will be a complete victory soon. Why bother to worry too much?"

Ma Zhou: “…”

He seemed to feel that he could no longer communicate with Chen Zhengtai.

The generation gap is very big.

You say that if you win a big win, you will win a big win?

His Majesty the Emperor has been in war for a lifetime, and there are countless founding generals under him. Which one is not proficient in military affairs? They are not sure, where do you get your confidence?

Of course, Ma Zhou found that this benefactor was used to letting go, so he took a deep breath, calm, had to be caring, laugh, know how to deal with it calmly, and think more about the benefits of his benefactor.

So, Ma Zhou's lips curled up slightly, pursed his lips, revealing a still kind smile.

"The second of these is of course worried about the salt and iron strategy. In fact, Your Majesty is not unaware that private salt is flooded at the moment, especially those aristocratic families occupying the vast majority of salt wells and iron ore. Alas... Benefactor, before the Tang Dynasty established the world, this China had been in chaos for hundreds of years. For hundreds of years, those who called kings and emperors were like crucian carp crossing the river, and there were not one hundred, and there were eighty. Because of this, aristocratic tribes arose and they controlled the land of the world. The so-called freezing of the three feet of ice is not a day, but how easy is Your Majesty to eliminate this bad policy? Just let it go, the treasury is empty. What should I use to provide relief to the people and resettle the people, and to recruit brave men and ensure the country and the country?"

After hearing Ma Zhou's words, Chen Zhengtai suddenly realized.

In fact, he didn't understand why the salt and iron monopoly strategy implemented since the Han Dynasty, but why did it not be implemented in the Tang Dynasty?

Now after listening to Ma Zhou's words, I understood a little. After all, the world collapsed after the Five Barbarians invaded China and was in chaos for hundreds of years. This chaos will inevitably lead to the rise of a large number of aristocratic families. After all, when the country cannot guarantee the safety of the people, people will subconsciously join forces to form close families. If new regimes want to stabilize, they will inevitably buy these aristocratic families. The final result is that the power of the aristocratic families is becoming stronger and stronger. They control land, population, salt wells, mines, and there are officials in the court, and their own private parts are also in the tribe. Now, although the Tang Dynasty is emerging, what? Faced with these countless aristocratic families, even Li Shimin dared not easily take back their wealth. After all, the precedent of the demise of the Sui Dynasty is a lesson from the past. If it is not good, it may repeat the same mistake.

Chen Zhengtai vaguely remembered that the Tang Dynasty really began to reclaim private salt wells and iron ore after a hundred years. After Li Shimin and Wu Zetian, and after countless attacks on the clans during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, this most important source of wealth was taken back to the court.

No wonder Li Shimin was worried about this. Just keep it aside, afraid of something happening. After all, these people have extremely amazing energy. If you let it go, you will suffer endless disasters.

Chen Zhengtai sighed: "It seems that it is really not easy to be an emperor. Why do you have to worry about anything?"

"Cough cough..." Ma Zhou coughed: "My benefactor, be careful."

Chen Zhengtai said: "What are you careful about saying? I am a straight person. But wait and see. Master Liang will definitely fail. A good news will come soon. As for the salt matter, you may have to be famous. By the way, my dear and beloved mentor..."

"Cough cough..." Ma Zhou coughed desperately again.

Chen Zhengtai suspected that this guy had pneumonia and needed some rescue: "My dear and beloved teacher, I have been in good health recently. Oh... I have worshipped him and have not visited him again yet. I miss him very much. At that time, I never expected that my teacher would accept me as my disciple. It can be seen that this is fate. It is said that ten years of cultivation will come to cross the boat together, and hundreds of years of cultivation will come to sleep together..."

"I don't know how many years the relationship between teachers and students has been cultivated. Well, let's not talk about these things, I'm very concerned about my mentor's health. I don't know if he has eaten it recently. Let's write a recipe. This recipe is very healthy. Oh, and there are a few kilograms of salt here. You can bring it with you as well. Remember, you must bring it with you."

"This..." Ma Zhou felt like he had entered the thief's nest. He fought for a moment, and finally he lowered his head weakly: "No!"

Chen Zhengtai took the pen and actually wrote a prescription. This was the old hot soup from the Guangdong people in the last generation. He wrote the recipe and handed it to Ma Zhou, and gave it to him.

Chen Zhengtai is a conscientious person. He finally hugged him a little, so why would he let go? I, Chen Zhengtai, isn't bragging. If Li Er can throw himself away, I, Chen Zhengtai, lose.

Ma Zhou looked helpless and nodded quickly and took the recipe with him. As for Chen Zhengtai, he insisted on letting Ma Zhou take salt, Ma Zhou looked embarrassed, but he had to take it away.

He couldn't figure out why his benefactor was so excited.

I shook my head, pinched the recipe, looked at it, and didn't know if there was any problem, so I sighed in my heart and went to raise pigs.
Chapter completed!
