"Coarse salt?"

After hearing this, Wei Zheng was full of doubts and felt something was wrong.

Why does the snow grain salt store have coarse salt?

Moreover, how did Your Majesty know so much about the snow and salt shop?

"By your Majesty, cook coarse salt, which is more than five times faster than fine salt. Currently, there are 10,000 stones in the city."

Li Wei bowed and replied.

"Very good!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin chuckled and was extremely satisfied.

As for Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others, they were full of surprises.

They did not expect that His Majesty had already quietly stored 10,000 stones of coarse salt in Chang'an City.

I just don’t know how His Majesty concealed those families and transported the coarse salt back to the city.

"Is there really ten thousand stones of coarse salt?"

Among the group of people, Wei Zheng was the most shocking.

Wei Zheng came from a poor family and was lonely and poor since childhood. However, when he was used to poverty, Wei Zheng developed great ambitions. He first became a monk and became a Taoist priest. He read all the books in the Taoist temple well and had a wide range of knowledge.

Then, seeing that the world was about to be in chaos, I began to say that it was pleasing to the verge of the storm, in order to make the people suffer less.

However, Wei Zheng was good at everything, but he was too straightforward. As long as the people were not suffering, he could accept anything, commonly known as obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Fortunately, the world was in chaos and the heroes competed. With the unknown luck, the boss he followed changed a few times. Wei Zheng actually climbed higher and higher, and the road to achieving his ambitions was getting closer and closer.

"What are Wei Qing's doubts?"

In a good mood, Li Shimin didn't care about Wei Zheng's stubborn words.

"Your Majesty, I wonder how coarse salt compares to the bitter salt on the market?"

Wei Zheng hurriedly bowed and asked.

No matter what Li Shimin's attitude towards him, he was not annoyed at all, only caring about the issues he was concerned about.

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others also looked at Li Shimin with curiosity.

The matter of salt is quite important.

Li Shimin did not allow them, such close ministers from the Qin King's old mansion, to join the gang, so Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others knew about bitter salt.

However, I have never seen coarse salt.

"Coarse salt has a slightly yellowish color and a slight bitter taste when eaten, but it is hundreds of times better than bitter salt!" Li Shimin explained.

"You may ask your Majesty, how much does coarse salt cost?"

Wei Zheng is not stupid. Li Shimin already said so clearly that the relationship between Xueli Salt Pusi and Li Shimin was about to emerge.

Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng and said softly: "A pound of coarse salt three-in-one!"

"Sanwen?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Wei Zheng's eyes, and then he looked overjoyed and bowed directly to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty is wise, so all the people in the world are saved!"

As for whether this price would make those aristocratic families even more angry, Wei Zheng would not pay attention to it.

As long as the people can afford salt, as long as His Majesty is there, the sky falls, it is not his turn to push the jar.

On the side, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others flashed a trace of worry in their eyes, and then nodded quickly.

This time, they must be careful!

Similarly, like Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others, in Chang'an City, a number of family managers gathered together, while savoring the tea with pride on their faces, listening to the servants reporting what happened in the city.

...

The next day.

Morning court.

As soon as he saw the ceremony, a censor held up his tablet and stood up to give advice.

"Report to Your Majesty, I heard that there were evil merchants in the city who maliciously sold salt at low prices, disrupting the order of salt, causing millions of people to not eat salt. They spontaneously surrounded Wannian County and Chang'an County Government, and cried to the two county magistrates of Wannian and Chang'an, asking the court to make the decision for them and arrest the unscrupulous merchant who maliciously sold snow salt!"

Li Shimin didn't have to look at it, but he knew that this upright censor must be an official from a number of factions.

But before Li Shimin could speak.

Below, a group of officials jumped out one after another and advised Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, such a traitorous and evil lowly merchant should be captured and confiscated all his snow and salt!"

"I heard that there have been tens of thousands of people who have not eaten salt for many days!"

"Your Majesty, spring is about to be busy, and this matter is urgent!"

"Your Majesty, you cannot let millions of people in Chang'an City suffer because of a lowly salt merchant!"

"I beg your Majesty..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh.

Coercion, temptation, and even mixed with strong persuasion, these aristocratic families are indeed a group of jackals.

However, with the method of cooking salt offered by Xuanba and the accumulation over the past few months, these aristocratic families could not compromise on the matter of salt.

"Bah, a bunch of blind dogs, how could you know, this must be the disaster of the snow and salt shop?"

Cheng Zhijie jumped out with his bloody mouth.

"Anyone with eyes can see that the snow salt is only ten cents per pound, which is much better than the Qinghai salt of thirty cents per pound. This is because of the merchants selling salt, in order to suppress the snow salt, will increase the price of bitter salt, which makes millions of people in Chang'an City unable to afford salt!"

"You are sour scholars, but after accepting bribes from those salt merchants, you dare to deceive Your Majesty in front of us and all officials. I see that you are sour scholars, the ones who should be killed the most!"

"Your Majesty, what the Duke of Su Guo said is true. This matter is all about those lowly salt merchants. In order to exploit the hard-earned money of the people, they should be killed!"

Wei Zheng also stood up and reported to Li Shimin with a solemn look on his face.

"Everyone, I don't know what Wei Qing said, what explanation do you give?"

Li Shimin stared at the censors who jumped out and asked coldly.

Hearing this, all the officials were full of surprise.

As early as when Wei Zheng stood up and spoke for the snow salt shop, all the officials of these aristocratic families were confused.

According to their understanding of Wei Heizi, even if the snow salt is His Majesty's shop, for the sake of millions of Chang'an people, Wei Heizi will definitely stand on their side and demand severe punishment for the snow salt salt.

Then, they added another fire. Under the pressure of millions of people in Chang'an City, His Majesty would definitely compromise with them and throw out the shopkeeper of the snow salt shop. As for the price of snow salt to increase by a few dozen cents, the matter would be settled.

After all, Li Er is still the current emperor after all. If you really want to fight to the death, the probability of death is still those who are poor, haha, it will be of no benefit to anyone!

After a while, a censor seemed to come back to his senses and quickly bowed to Li Shimin with a sad face and replied: "Your Majesty, I, and others, are loyal to Your Majesty. However, in Chang'an City, the price of salt has doubled, and many people cannot afford salt.

Weichen and others really don’t want to see thousands of people suffering such suffering. I hope Your Majesty will clearly understand it!”

"That, you are so shameless, you are so shameless. You have read the books of saints for so many years and don't even understand the principle of distinguishing right from wrong. It is obvious that those salt merchants who have raised prices are extremely guilty. What's your intention to let His Majesty take down Anxue Lishen Shop?"

Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie vomited directly, his face full of disgust.

On the side, Zhang Liang, Yuchi Jingde and other military generals were also full of disgust.

"Your Majesty, what the Duke of Su Guo said is that the people in the city cannot afford to eat salt, which is the crime of those lowly salt merchants. Wuhou Wei should arrest all the salt merchants who took the opportunity to cause trouble in the prison!"

"Your Majesty, those salt merchants do not follow the Tang Dynasty's laws, and they should arrest them!"

Although I don’t know why Cheng Zhijie often talks about the snow salt shop, all the generals and all the generals still speak.
Chapter completed!
