After coming out of the small courtyard, Han Lucheng immediately glared at Ma Liang and whispered: "Let's go... follow me!"
"……yes."
There was a strong surge in his throat, and Ma Liang quickly followed.
The two of them walked to a secluded place, and Han Lucheng stopped and whispered urgently: "Ma Liang, although the king didn't explain it specifically, you know what to do about this matter... right?"
"I know, I know, Butler Han!"
Taking a deep breath, Ma Liang nodded without hesitation and said: "I have already told them that this matter cannot be discussed with anyone, not even their parents..."
"No, this alone won't do it!"
Before Ma Liang could finish his words, Han Lucheng interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Go back immediately and make all the students stay in the school and not be able to leave... When the king finally makes a decision, you will naturally
Then you know what to do..."
…
How could Li Yuanjia not understand Han Lucheng's little thoughts?
And this is indeed a normal person's way of thinking. Not to mention Han Lucheng, after listening to Li Yuanjia's words, the first reaction in any normal person's mind is to imprison Ma Liang and the five people on the East China Sea.
Keep it under tight control and ensure that this secret can only exist in Prince Han's palace.
Without him, the benefits would be too great.
From ancient times to the present, salt and iron have been the most profitable business in this country, so the salt and iron monopoly system came into existence, and it has lasted for thousands of years. Even if the real salt monopoly is abolished much later, it will still have to wait.
In the twenty-first century.
The reason for this is because salt is so important.
For any normal person, salt is essential... Just look at the human taste. If there is no salt at all in the rice, no matter how fresh the ingredients are and how skilled the cook is,
It was also a bland meal.
This is the human body's instinctive response, expressing its desire for salt.
If the intake of salt is insufficient, not only will it be easy to get sick, but it will also cause the body to become weak and weak, which is quite scary for the ancients who lived purely by physical labor.
Therefore, Li Yuanjia was not surprised that Han Lucheng had such an idea.
only……
"The benefits of sea salt are too great for us, Prince Han's Mansion, to absorb."
When he talked about this matter with Fang Fengzhu in the evening, Li Yuanjia's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about someone else's family affairs. He chuckled and said: "In fact, I think that except the emperor, no one in the world can do it."
You can afford this deal...Only a fool would think of eating alone, because there is only one word for that result!"
"……die?"
After hesitating for a moment, Fang Fengzhu tentatively said one word, his eyes already clear.
"Yes, it's death."
After glancing at his princess, Li Yuanjia smiled slightly, without any surprise in his eyes.
Although she is only a teenager, Fang Fengzhu is not a country woman. She is the eldest lady from Liang Guogong's palace. It is not strange to understand this truth. Moreover, her father is the eternal name Fang Xuanling, Li Yuanjia's
In his whole life, apart from "making plans to stop his family", what Lao Taishan is best at is being cautious. If it weren't for his bad luck, the royal family gave him a weird second daughter-in-law...
Okay, I'm going too far.
Anyway, Fang Fengzhu wanted to understand this truth, and it was not surprising that Li Yuanjia really did.
Age has nothing to do with it, what matters is education.
Although Han Lucheng is considered well-informed and is almost twice as old as Fang Fengzhu, he has always been taught how to be a good housekeeper, while Fang Fengzhu was taught how to become a prince from childhood to university.
Wife, and what I usually learn from Fang Xuanling is not at Han Lucheng’s level.
So as soon as he heard his king's words, Fang Fengzhu immediately understood what he meant.
The benefits of salt and iron are really great.
There are so many people in the world, and besides the Tang Dynasty, there are so many surrounding countries. Who doesn’t need to eat salt, and who doesn’t want to use more iron?
Among them, iron is related to national security because it can be used to make weapons; while salt is a pure civilian necessity that no one can live without, so the scale of the industry is so large that it will amaze people in the future!
Hundreds of years later, Sima Guang said in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" that "salt accounts for half of the wealth of the world", which was not nonsense.
It is the Tang Dynasty itself. In the early Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, salt and iron were not included in the official business. But in the future, when the country declines and the finances fail, the salt tax will become the pillar for the survival of the Tang Dynasty...
Therefore, as ambitious as Li Shimin, he would never allow his younger brother... No, it should be said that he would not allow anyone to have exclusive access to seawater salting and purification technology!
The cost of seawater sun salt is low, the yield is high, and with the addition of purification technology, it is not difficult to dominate the salt industry all over the world.
Let's not talk about how much money Li Yuanjia can make from it. The mere fact of controlling the world's salt industry will probably make the emperor and civil and military officials restless and fearful.
What is the difference between controlling salt and controlling the lifeblood of the world?
When the critical moment comes, all I have to do is stand up and shout, and those who don’t follow me will have no salt to eat in the future...
Is this good enough?
So whoever dares to do this will have no choice but to die.
Seeing the clear look in Fang Fengzhu's eyes, Li Yuanjia said calmly: "I have already made plans for this matter. Tomorrow, I will bring the coarse salt dried from the sea water and the salt purified by Ma Liang and others.
The refined salt will go to Jiucheng Palace... Of course, I will also personally write a letter home and send it to His Majesty."
"call……"
Fang Fengzhu exhaled softly, and a flash of distress flashed in his eyes. He nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise...just as it should be!"
"Um……"
Seeing Fang Fengzhu trying his best to appear calm, Li Yuanjia twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded helplessly.
This girl is so mature that it makes people feel distressed and makes people want to hold her and comfort her.
But just as Li Yuanjia was about to raise his arm, he suddenly thought of his head and couldn't help but be stunned.
Fang Fengzhu is so mature that it makes people feel distressed, but what about you?
If it were the person I was in my previous life, would I have made such a decision?
"Hiss...hehe."
After thinking about it, Li Yuanjia suddenly took a breath of cold air, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and began to feel sorry for himself - if it were the person in his previous life, he would definitely not hand over the technology, but would quietly build a lot of sunscreens by himself.
Salt field, and then find a lot of salt merchants to sell their goods...
So how is he different from Fang Fengzhu now?
"No, different."
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Li Yuanjia quickly shook his head and drove them away. At least he could guarantee that at the beginning, he "invented" seawater sun salting definitely not for money, and it was not for handing over the technology.
Not just to keep yourself out of trouble...

I was extremely troubled by this book and felt that there were many problems.
My writing has been very messy recently, please bear with me, I need to think about it carefully.
