Chen Zhengtai returned home and parted with Princess Sui'an. With enough money, he would be enough to increase the yield of white salt.

The shop has been replaced with a new plaque, Chen's Salt Industry has been removed, and the golden painted sign of Erpigou Salt Industry has been replaced.

More and more white salt is transported into the city every day, and this is how people eat such high-quality salt, and they can no longer tolerate the inferior green salt.

Almost all the salt shipped in every day is sold out.

Even if more and more white salt is produced, there is still a shortage of supply.

Some merchants heard that the military commander of the governor of Luzhou was sent to Luzhou. For a moment, more merchants bought white salt.

After they inquired about the news, the military supplies of the governor of Luzhou naturally needed soldiers to escort them, but if they wanted to sell white salt to Luzhou, the soldiers allowed the caravan to go with them.

In this era, there are too many unknown dangers on the road, so selling goods is extremely risky.

Now that you can go with the military team, the risk will be minimized, and naturally, it will make people think about it.

Just when the supply of white salt is in short supply, Erpigou Salt Industry has even launched a sign again. Starting today, the price of each pound of salt will be reduced by 20 ci.

So... the city was sensation again.

This price is almost the same as that of the inferior green salt.

At the same price, who would still buy the green salt?

Even if Erpigou Salt Industry has limited daily goods, many people are waiting for the delivery here in the early morning. Most people line up for a day and may not be able to buy white salt. But with this idea, people would rather come here day after day to try their luck than buy other salts.

This effect was quickly transmitted, and the name of Erpigou became more and more famous.

...

After Cheng Yaojin, the governor of Luzhou, returned to Beijing, he visited his former brother day and night, and did not ask much about his family affairs.

However, at the end of the month, Cheng Yaojin found that something was wrong with his account.

He called the accountant and asked very seriously: "Why is the monthly income 30% less?"

"If you go back to the governor, our salt wells... are losing money. I heard... there is a salt shop... good quality and low price..."

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and looked worried. The Cheng family was no longer the Cheng family. Now that he has built a mansion in Chang'an, he also needs to visit relatives and friends. His sons have also spent a lot of money. The family is small, and relying on various incomes, there will be only a slight surplus at the end of the year. Now that he has lost such a large amount of income, he is afraid that the mansion will save money and save money in the long run.

He said curiously: "What salt shop?"

"I heard... it has something to do with Princess Sui'an."

"Your Highness Princess Sui'an!" Cheng Yaojin looked shocked.

"Oh, yes, it's Princess Sui'an's business. Last time, Princess Sui'an visited her. She said she wanted to do business. The Major General borrowed her two hundred stale money and helped her open the Luzhou business road."

"You mean..." Cheng Yaojin narrowed his eyes, with doubts in his eyes.

The accountant saw what Governor Cheng said... Sheng nodded with no desire to say: "Yes!"

"Call Chumo, I have something to say to him."

After a while, Cheng Chumo came in a hurry. When he saw Cheng Yaojin, he grinned and said, "Dad..."

Cheng Yaojin looked at Cheng Chumo with a strange look.

Cheng Chumo felt strange.

And the next moment.

Cheng Yaojin took a six-inch-long mace from the weapon stand, waved the mace and greeted Cheng Chumo: "You are a beast who is scattered inside and outside, I don't think I will beat you to death..."

Cheng Chumo howled, shouting: "Murdering parent-child, murdering parent-child..."

…………

Li Shimin's spirit has recovered a lot these days, and his whole mood has become particularly relaxed.

The only thing that made him look good is that Chen Zhengtai has not been able to enter the palace for many days.

To be honest... I still feel a little uncomfortable.

But... he didn't want to ask more...

These days, he was riding and shooting his head, and his body was restored to the naked eye. Now his abundant physical strength seemed to be back to him, and Li Shimin felt an indescribable pleasure.

At noon, Li Shimin, who was sweating all over, and was panting, arrived at Xuanzheng Hall

In Xuanzheng Hall...

Minister of Rites Dou Lu Kuan and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs Dai Zhou were long-awaited for Li Shimin for a long time.

Li Shimin was dressed in military uniform and energetic. He stepped into the hall and smiled and said, "Let the two families wait for a long time."

Dai Zhou frowned: "Your Majesty is the emperor now, how can you enjoy riding and shooting all day long?"

Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has always been upright and always said something that should be spoken inappropriately.

Li Shimin heard the smell of gunpowder in his voice, but was not angry, and said, "I won't know next time."

Dai Zhou opened his mouth and wanted to say something, Dou Lu Kuan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the imperial examination is about to begin. I am here to ask Your Majesty to choose the auspicious date for the imperial examination."

Li Shimin looked at Dou Lukuan with a smile and looked at Dou Lukuan with gratitude. It was Dou Luqing's family who had relieved him of the siege, otherwise, according to the Dai Qing's character, he would have to scold me for a long time.

Li Shimin said happily: "It's so good, seeking talents in the imperial examination is the top priority. If I want to rule the world, I want to bring all the talents in this world into my destiny. The Ministry of Rites must treat this matter carefully and not make any mistakes. Otherwise, I will only ask."

Of course, Dou Lu Kuan knew His Majesty’s thoughts. His Majesty has always been unconventional about talents. Although the imperial examinations followed the Sui Dynasty system, they were just a channel for the Tang Dynasty to select talents today, but for His Majesty, it was a huge matter. As the Minister of Rites, he must not slacke in this matter.

Dou Lukuan then bowed and said, "The ceremony of talent sweeping is not a trivial matter. I will do my best to do my best and never be careless."

Li Shimin nodded, looking forward to the imperial examination. He put his hands behind his back and his eyes fell on Dai Zhou: "So what's wrong with you here?"

"Your Majesty." Dai Zhou said seriously: "What I reported is the matter of Chang'an Salt and Iron Envoy."

When Li Shimin heard the Chang'an Salt and Iron Envoy, he had a headache and frowned and asked, "What, what happened again?"

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs is about to verify the accounts of each treasury, and it is already full of trouble. However, Chen Jiye, the salt and iron envoy of the Chang'an Salt and Iron Envoy, complaining all day long, saying that the deficit of the Chang'an Salt and Iron Envoy was serious, and how the officials in the department were overstated..."

Li Shimin subconsciously pressed his temple.

A few days ago, Chen Jiye came to complain and complain. Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore. You said that I originally asked you, Chen Jiye to go to the Salt and Iron Envoy to find something for you, and don't talk nonsense all day long, so that someone would say that I was not.

But he never thought that he still did not stop after giving him a ministry.

Li Shimin simply lost sight of him. You like to complain so much and like to say how miserable you are, right?

I don’t listen. If you keep Chen Jiye’s memorials, you will be kept directly and keep you, Chen Jiye, and you will do whatever you like.

But unexpectedly, Chen Jiye was left alone by Li Shimin, turned his head and ran to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to make a fuss.

Li Shimin smiled and showed a calm look: "Oh, Chen Qing's family talks a little more, but after all, it is for official business and there is no personal situation. Since your family is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it is also necessary to be more patient. You are the talent of the prime minister, so why can't you tolerate others? Those who hold high positions should be generous and not be petty about others' details."

If others listen, of course they are timid, but Dai Zhou has a bad temper. When he heard this, he glared: "But I heard that Chen Jiye reported to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty ignored him. I also heard..."

Li Shimin's face froze: "..."

Take a deep breath.

Dai Zhouping likes to argue in Japan. A few days ago, Li Shimin praised him for being upright. Although this guy turned around and came to the emperor to criticize Li Shimin again, Li Shimin had to keep smiling.

Dai Zhou wanted to say something, but the Minister of Rites Dou Lukuan was worried about Dai Zhou and hurriedly said, "Chen Jiye has always been a perverse person. It is better for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to give him some lessons. Your Majesty appointed him as the salt and iron envoy of Chang'an. This heavy burden was originally intended to make him pursuing the salt affairs of Chang'an, but Chen Jiye was not responsible and only knew how to complain. If this continues, it would break the rules and regulations."

Li Shimin felt that this was a bit average, so he nodded and said, "Then let's deal with it by the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Dai Zhou complained in his heart that His Majesty had a generous reputation but asked the Civil Affairs Ministry to be a bad person. His old temper could not help but have an attack, but in front of Li Shimin, he could not help but bow and salute: "Here."
