Empress Changsun walked over and put down a cup of milk tea.
"Your Majesty, the weather is getting colder, so drink a cup of milk tea to warm yourself up!"
As soon as morning came, people from the palace would line up outside the Shengtang Group to buy milk tea, and then go back and heat it up for the emperor and the concubines in the harem.
Li Shimin was not polite and took a sip directly. This fashionable gadget has become an indispensable part of their lives. It has even become a habit.
He didn't respond, still looking at the paper in a daze.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? What's written on the paper?"
Queen Changsun asked curiously.
"I'm looking at last month's tax details. It seems that the taxes on people's livelihood in Chang'an City haven't changed much! It shouldn't be like this!"
"It's like this every month, there's nothing wrong with it, right?"
"No, there are a lot of things wrong!"
Li Shimin said.
"I can't see why."
Empress Changsun was puzzled, what could be wrong with an ordinary tax report?
"Look here, this is last month's tax. Regarding porcelain, there are so many taxes, and this month it has dropped to a record low."
"Didn't Your Majesty not buy porcelain because of the Turks? If that's the case, it's normal!"
"That one is considered extra! It's not included in it. It's the same without it. Look here again, the tax on colored glaze in Chang'an City has almost caught up with the tax on porcelain."
Empress Changsun smiled and said: "As far as I know, these colored glazes are taxes from Min'er's group!"
"That's right. Logically speaking, it's impossible. There is no conflict between porcelain and colored glaze."
Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty does not know. During this period, the colored glaze in the Shengtang Group was directly comparable to the porcelain. What porcelain has, the colored glaze has. What the porcelain does not have, there is colored glaze, and most people have more porcelain in their homes."
Soon, people also lost interest in porcelain. When the colored glaze came out, the porcelain should sink!"
"Is that so? Then I understand."
Only then did Li Shimin understand.
"Yes, Your Majesty, and because of the emergence of Liuli, the blow to the family has become greater again."
Everyone in Chang'an City now knows about Li Min's relationship with the aristocratic family.
People also unanimously believed that Li Min was unlikely to win, after all, the other party's wealth was not something he could shake alone.
But now it seems that there is a hole in the family's fortune.
As a result, Li Min took advantage of the victory and pursued it. After Yan was captured by the government, he immediately launched Liuli as a product.
It was used to attack noble families, let alone play a huge role, but this role was only within Chang'an City.
After Li Shimin found out, he always wanted to control Li Min.
But this is glass, not salt, so how could he control it?
All links have little to do with themselves.
At the same time, this kind of thing that has basically no cost will be worth a hundred times as long as it passes through the high-temperature furnace. No matter how fierce the price of your raw materials is, I'm afraid it won't be able to influence it.
In addition, in order to defeat the five major aristocratic families and make Li Shimin feel proud, he supported Li Min.
Not only that, he also has an idea brewing.
"Come here, let Concubine Yang come to see me!"
When Queen Changsun heard this, she knew that Li Shimin was going to cause trouble again.
"What is your Majesty going to do?"
"I want Li Min to make Liuli bigger and stronger! To compete with the porcelain of aristocratic families!"
This was Li Shimin's original idea.
"How can we make it bigger? Now Min'er's group is not big enough, how can we do it? If we want to attack the aristocratic family, the imperial court must come forward!"
"Queen, this matter is not simple. It is not like salt, which can be controlled. After all, Liuli was created by Li Min, and I cannot control it! So, it is better to let him grow bigger!"
This is why Li Shimin asked Concubine Yang to come over.
After just a while, Concubine Yang hurried over.
She didn't understand why she was still called here.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Queen!"
"My dear concubine, there is no need to be polite! Come on, come on, sit down, I will discuss something with you!"
Li Shimin said suddenly.
Concubine Yang was a little flattered.
Li Shimin is not like this in normal times.
What's going on today?
She looked at Queen Changsun.
Empress Changsun showed no expression.
"Your Majesty, I dare not sit down!"
Seeing that Queen Changsun is still standing, how can she dare to sit down?
"If I tell you to sit down, you can sit down. There is no need to push back!"
Concubine Yang didn't say anything and sat down directly.
But he still had a look of fear on his face.
After all, both Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were standing.
But she was sitting down, which was impossible.
"Your Majesty, I don't know why you asked me to come here?"
she asked.
His face was still very panicked.
"Actually, it's not a big deal."
Li Shimin also sat down.
It's okay, why did you ask her to come over?
Then, he added: "Li Min has been suffering these days!"
Li Shimin usually doesn't talk like this.
"Does Your Majesty want him to come back?"
Concubine Yang was overjoyed.
"No, it's not!"
"ah?"
Concubine Yang responded with some disappointment.
"Actually, it's like this. During this period of time, we took a lot of things from him. I thought in my heart that I couldn't keep holding his things, so I thought of a policy that is suitable for him!"
"Oh? What is that?"
"I am going to reduce the tax on the colored glaze industry by half. If Li Min can sell colored glaze to a thousand households in the Tang Dynasty, he can directly eliminate the tax for five years!"
This is nothing short of great good news.
Judging from Li Min's earning power, five years of taxes can save a lot of money.
Concubine Yang was naturally happy.
"If so, that's great, thank you Your Majesty!"
"but……"
Li Shimin changed the subject.
Concubine Yang knew that this matter might not be that simple.
Just listen to these two words and you will know.
She was very excited just now.
It seems unnecessary now.
"But what?"
"But I need the face to convey it. You know, he listens to you the most. As for taxes, I will ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to make statistics. All the taxes of Liuli in the Shengtang Group will be reduced or exempted!"
This may be Li Shimin's greatest sincerity.
He wanted Li Min to open more stores.
But how could Li Min get what he wanted?
How much does a store cost?
If he doesn't have enough money, will Li Shimin come to make up for it?
"How about it? Is this okay?"
Li Shimin asked.
Nothing is impossible for him, and he can't bear to hear the impossible.
"I will go find him early tomorrow morning!"
"Okay! I'm waiting for your good news."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Concubine Yang felt like she had been cheated.
But this had to be done.
"Okay, you two can go out for a walk with me. The sun is so beautiful outside, how can you not take it easy?"
The two girls responded and followed Li Shimin out.
And when they went out, there was a noise outside.
