Chapter 182 Give Me One Hundred Thousand Stones of Mineral Salt
"Is Mr. Zili here?"
A voice came from outside the door.
Then Cheng Yaojin shouted.
"It's him!"
Fang Xuanling also listened carefully.
They recognized the owner of the voice.
It's Wei Zheng!
"Wei Zheng! Why is he here?"
Kong Yingda was even more surprised. Wei Zheng rarely left the palace.
Of course, he didn't know that Wei Zheng's proposal was for Li Min at that time, so this time, he took the initiative to come forward.
"Mr. Zili said he would know it soon. Is it about him?"
Fang Xuanling asked.
Li Min smiled and said nothing.
The more he behaves like this, the more anxious everyone becomes!
At the same time, Ji Ruxue also felt extremely shocked.
She also knew that the person who came was a celebrity in front of Li Shimin, and she was very curious about Li Min's identity.
What kind of existence could have so many high-ranking officials coming to meet him?
And came to help.
There are not a few people who can be called by name one after another.
All of them are senior officials of third rank or above!
How many third-grade officials were there in the entire Tang Dynasty? This is a lot, right?
"Is Mr. Zili here?"
Wei Zheng asked again.
Zhu Shan didn't recognize him outside, but he looked for Li Min as soon as he came and saw that he was so polite.
He also responded politely.
"May I ask why you are looking for Mr. Zili?"
"Just say it's Wei who wants to see you! He will naturally see me!"
So I went to ask for instructions.
He came out quickly and ushered him in.
"Please! Mr. Zili is inside! You'll be waiting for a long time!"
Um?
Wei Zheng thought to himself.
Did Li Min know that he was coming?
"So, thank you!"
After Wei Zheng saluted.
Then he followed Zhu Shan and walked inside.
When I walked all the way inside, I saw Cheng Yaojin and others there.
Wei Zheng's face showed hesitation, and then returned to normal.
After all, as far as he knew, the Sixth Prince was very close to Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling.
It's normal for them to be here.
As for why Kong Yingda got involved, he didn't know.
But no matter what, etiquette is still required.
He bowed to Li Min first.
"Wei Zheng has met Mr. Zili!"
Wei Zheng also knew that Li Min was not allowed to be called the Sixth Prince outside, so he still called him Mr. Zili.
All this was seen by Ji Ruxue.
I find it strange. Shouldn't the Duke of the country salute first?
Why did Mr. Zili come first?
Li Min returned the gift.
"Please sit down quickly!"
Wei Zheng responded, and then greeted Cheng Yaojin and others one by one.
They are colleagues now, so just say hello.
Wei Zheng looked around again.
I kept seeing Ji Ruxue.
He showed a surprised look.
"Isn't this Miss Ji Ruxue? We have met before! I like the poems you wrote very much!"
It is said that Wei Zheng has an upright personality. When I saw him today, he was indeed so upright.
He didn't care that Li Min was here and directly flattered Ji Ruxue.
But this flattery comes from the heart.
Not as hypocritical as some people.
Ji Ruxue was a little scared. She had met many people before. When she was an oiran, she had met many people, but there were too many people and she often forgot them.
However, she immediately responded: "My daughter's poetry talent is not as good as Mr. Zili's, which makes the Duke laugh."
This statement gave Li Min enough face and relieved some embarrassment.
How could she, a woman and Li Min's student, dare to steal this limelight?
But Li Min didn't care at all. Any poetic talent or talent were all false.
It is of no use to him at all.
Except for one thing, which is to be welcomed by beautiful women, there is no other special use.
Wei Zheng laughed.
"Miss Ji, you are so humble. I still remember how to read the poem you wrote at that time!"
He and Ji Ruxue actually started chatting.
Cheng Yaojin on the side was a little depressed. He asked directly: "Wei Zheng, why did you come here this time?"
Only then did Wei Zheng realize that he had come over for something.
It's all because the beauty is too beautiful.
I love talent so much.
"By the way, if General Cheng didn't tell me, I almost forgot about it!"
Then he sat down and faced Li Min.
"Mr. Zili, I came here this time to tell you something."
"Let's talk!"
"His Majesty has decided that mineral salt will be supplied to your Shengtang Group in unlimited quantities!"
As soon as these words came out.
Ji Ruxue suddenly realized.
"No wonder Mr. Zili is not in a hurry, it turns out it was settled long ago!"
Yes, after Li Min came back yesterday, he had a few words with Cheng Chubi, and then handed him a piece of paper, and then he had to eat and drink.
Not nervous or anxious at all.
There is no way to figure out where the mineral salt comes from.
It's more like the mineral salt will come on its own.
When I saw it today, it turned out to be the case.
How did she know that yesterday Li Min asked Cheng Yaojin's wife to bring a new note to Concubine Yang when she arrived at the palace. Of course, in return, he paid the cost of more than a dozen pieces of soap and a few glass marbles.
Compared to the money you can earn in the future, what is this soap worth?
Concubine Yang did not disappoint him and took Li Shimin's mineral salt.
Of course, this would not have been possible without the help of Queen Changsun.
Going further, it is also because Concubine Yang's character has been recognized by many harems. All of this is still due to Li Min's contribution.
"Okay? What's the calculation? What did Mr. Zili calculate?"
Cheng Yaojin asked quickly.
"I guess mineral salt will appear today!"
Ji Ruxue said.
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda were all shocked.
He was actually able to calculate the appearance of mineral salt.
"This... Mr. Zili can really count?"
Cheng Yaojin asked.
"He wants Datang to be strong. This is inevitable! There is no need to calculate it!"
In fact, everything is under his control.
As for Li Shimin, he still calls him.
Even His Majesty doesn't want to call.
"Then... Mr. Zili, can you calculate for me whether it is possible for me to marry another concubine?"
Li Min rolled his eyes at Cheng Yaojin.
"You will fall under the Cui family for the rest of your life!"
Cheng Yaojin's face was full of despair when he said this.
Cui's strength turned a tough man on the battlefield into a fool, allowing himself to be manipulated by others.
"You can't calculate it accurately, I don't believe it!"
Li Min didn't want to pay attention to it.
Instead, he said to Wei Zheng: "Thank you for your hard work, Duke Zheng."
The Duke? Everyone was shocked, another Duke.
"This is nothing. From now on, I will be responsible for this matter. If you need anything, just ask! I will definitely help you!"
Hearing this sentence, Li Min was overjoyed.
That being said, that's great.
"Okay! For what you said, give me 100,000 shi of mineral salt first!"
As soon as you open your mouth, it will be one hundred thousand stones!
So atmospheric.
Wei Zheng said, "Don't you ask how much a stone is?"
You have to ask for a price in this transaction, right?
Did Li Min not even ask about the price?
"Okay, then I'll ask reluctantly. How much is one stone?"
