1607 Salt

 "Hey... you!"

Throwing the strangely long Wu Ban in his hand to Xiao Han, Li Shimin glanced at him and shook his head helplessly.

After so many years, this guy still does things as before, without any scruples.

"Come on, what happened to the injury on your face? It couldn't have been caused by a bump while walking, right?"

Not wanting to worry too much about these "little things", Li Shimin sighed and asked specifically about Xiao Han's injury.

When Xiao Han heard Li Shimin mention this issue, he immediately showed a look of embarrassment. After a long time, he said weakly: "Well, it's true that it wasn't a collision while walking. Yesterday, when I was riding in a bullock cart, I accidentally startled the cow, and then the cow ran away.

, I fell into the ditch with the car."

"Pfft..."

As soon as Xiao Han finished speaking, there was a sound of laughter coming from behind the palace, but the sound only lasted for a moment, and he quickly endured it again, and then there were only a few vague "chichichi" in the huge palace.

"The sound came, as if someone was working extremely hard to suppress laughter.

"Queen Changsun?"

Hearing this familiar laughter, Xiao Han looked into the hall with a strange expression. He saw no one, and could only see a curtain in the corner shaking violently.

"Ahem..." Li Shimin's face was a little unnatural at this time. He turned around and glared at the curtain, picked up Xiao Han who was still looking around curiously and walked out of the hall.

Hey, it's nothing for my wife to eavesdrop on her conversation with the minister, but it's a bit embarrassing to be caught red-handed.

Fortunately, it was Xiao Han. If he had been replaced by Wei Zheng, who knows how he would have used the topic to his advantage!

I remember the last time I secretly hid a bird in my arms and he overheard it. The old man just pulled me here and there, suffocating the bird to death before leaving! I was so angry that I never raised a bird again!

——————

"Brother, slow down, my leg is also injured..."

On the way, the waiter who had just led Xiao Han over saw Xiao Han being dragged along by Xiao Lizi again, and he was completely stunned!

"Could it be that he really peeked at His Majesty's concubines and was caught and exposed?" After looking straight at the two people walking past, the chamberlain even forgot to salute the emperor until the two of them were far away.

He slapped his forehead, cursed secretly, turned around and ran towards his residence.

"I didn't see anything! I didn't hear anything! I was sick, I was going to die! Three days, no! I couldn't get out of bed for half a month!"

Xiao Han didn't know yet that in that chamberlain's heart, he had become the world's most pervert!

At this time, his face was almost turned into a bun!

After finally waiting for Xiao Lizi to let go, Xiao Han quickly jumped to the side, squatted down and rubbed his calf, looking miserable as if he was a patient.

Of course, he did not say: the calf was not broken yesterday, but was kicked by Xiaodong out of anger after he was rescued...

"Your leg is also injured, so don't keep thinking about hitting people."

Looking at the grinning Xiao Han, Li Shimin obviously wanted to laugh, but later he held back and just sighed quietly: "You, please don't think that I alone have the final say in this world. Some things really make a fuss.

Even I have to compromise."

"Compromise? Then you will attack me?" Xiao Han rubbed his legs and asked with a smile as he raised his head indifferently.

When Li Shimin heard this, he rolled his eyes and said nothing.

Being carried away by someone and attacking Xiao Han?

He seems to have never considered this issue! If such a day comes, he will probably kill the person who coerced him first!

On the other side, when Xiao Han saw that Li Shimin was silent, the smile on his face became even brighter. He put down his trousers, clapped his hands and said, "Hey, that's fine! Besides, I have sense and I can break one of his legs at most! It's not a big deal, you

rest assured!"

"At most, break one of his legs..." Li Shimin was speechless, his eyes kept glancing at his legs, thinking to himself, you don't even need to beat this leg, it will be broken if you ride on the bullock cart a few more times.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore. Is the salt farm you sent people to the west reliable?"

"Reliable? More than reliable! It's simply too reliable!" Hearing this, Xiao Han rolled his eyes at Li Shimin and thought, "When have I ever done anything unreliable?"

Well, falling off the bullock cart doesn’t count!

Sure enough, seeing Xiao Han's determined look, Li Shimin not only felt uneasy, but also frowned, as if he didn't believe it!

"I heard that the places you send people to are all in the Gobi Desert. Where is there really salt? How much? It won't be the same as those salt fields on the edge of the Yellow River, right?"

The salt field on the edge of the Yellow River refers to the rock salt that Xiao Han once produced. At that time, it solved the urgent need of the Tang Dynasty!

However, because the output of those salt fields is not large, after several years of continuous mining, it has basically been exhausted. The salt eaten in Guanzhong now is basically sea salt shipped from Shandong and Jiangsu. Not to mention it is expensive, but it is not much!

"How much salt is there?"

When Xiao Han saw that Li Shimin didn't believe in him, he almost rolled his eyes to the sky! He said in his heart, do you think it's too much to be able to feed people all over the world for 1.5 billion years?

"The salt there... what should I say? Even if you want to use salt to build a bridge four feet wide and three feet high, you can build it directly from here to the moon!" Perhaps he rolled his eyes too much, so Xiao Han simply took it.

The moon in the sky makes a comparison. Well, very good, very appropriate!

"..."

Li Shimin was in a daze now! His eyes couldn't help but look up to the sky.

Of course it was daytime and there was no moon! However, this did not prevent him from imagining in his mind: a huge bridge built of salt, spanning the sky and the earth between the moon and the earth.

"So, the salt there is inexhaustible? Inexhaustible?" He opened his mouth with difficulty, and Li Shimin's voice was a little dry! It's not that he has never seen the world, but this salt is really unimaginable!

"Inexhaustible? You can say that!" Xiao Han thought for a while and nodded seriously.

This seems to be true. Not to mention today's Tang Dynasty, even the advanced technology of later generations has not done anything to the Qinghai Salt Farm. Even after so many years of digging, it doesn't even take away a little bit of the skin!

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Li Shimin hit the flower tree next to him with his fist, shaking the poor flower tree so that the flowers fell one after another, "This thing must be in our own hands!"

The recent rise in salt prices in Chang'an has given Li Shimin a headache, and his eyes are a little red!

Damn the Shandong gentry! They have controlled the coastal generation, and now the price of salt has almost tripled! If this continues, Guanzhong will return to the jealous era!

Thinking of the vinegar cloth he had eaten in the army, Li Shimin, who had been pampered and pampered for the past two years, felt nauseous. That stuff was not for people to eat!

"Send people from Chang'an! If that doesn't work, send people from the Imperial Guard! If the Turks and Tuyuhun people dare to rob! Hum hum..."

Slowly retracting his hand, Li Shimin's voice became colder and colder. If he hadn't been stuck in the neck recently at the Salt Road, with his temper, how could he have allowed the Wang family to jump up and down in the court like this!
