I have never seen...
Before he finished complaining in his heart, Li Shimin froze in place.
He looked at the remaining fine salt on the table in disbelief, and then at Liu Renyuan with a smug expression.
Is this salt?
Is this really salt?
Why is there no trace, bitter, hard to swallow feeling.
It melts in the mouth, with only a bitter salty taste.
Not adulterated with any, other flavors.
For the first time, Li Shimin felt that salt can be so delicious.
Chapter 55 The War Without Gunpowder
Li Shimin accidentally put a little salt on it and put it in his mouth.
"Refreshing! Really refreshing! How can there be such pure fine salt in the world.
Mineral salt and well salt mixed with a lot of impurities, taste bitter and unpalatable, compared with fine salt.
It's just rubbish.
Li Shimin stared straight at Liu Renyuan, "This... is this also extracted by the prince?"
Liu Renyuan responded: "As far as the general knows, this is the case."
"Currently, Mrs. Zheng is completely the spokesperson of His Highness the Crown Prince in the business field."
"The Green Fire Trading Company is a sharp sword for them to enter the business."
Li Shimin listened and nodded silently.
Carefully wrapped the fine salt and handed it to the old eunuch Chen Lin.
Liu Renyuan looked at Chen Lin expectantly.
Li Shimin looked at Liu Renyuan with reluctant eyes.
Suddenly said: "Liu Aiqing, do you still have use for this fine salt?"
Liu Renyuan was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
Hastily waved his hands, "The end will be useless, the end will be useless."
"Your Majesty, you should stay."
Li Shimin nodded, "Well, then I will be disrespectful."
"This fine salt, I want to study it carefully."
"By the way, where did you just say?"
Liu Renyuan stood there in embarrassment.
You, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of a small bag of fine salt, actually don't care about your own image at all, and you don't even remember what happened.
"Oh, right."
"Speaking of which, Qinghuo Trading Company is the sharp sword for the prince to enter this war without gunpowder smoke."
Li Shimin deeply understands.
Salt is the foundation of people's life and the foundation of material life.
The reason why the Wang family was able to quickly accumulate a large amount of wealth in troubled times was that selling salt was one of their main sources of income.
It's not that Li Shimin didn't think about making the salt industry official.
But Wang's way of selling salt is deeply rooted.
In order to firmly hold the salt industry in their own hands, they spend a lot of money every year to manage officials in various positions.
Tie them firmly to the giant ship of their own interests.
It's not that Li Shimin hasn't investigated it. The number of officials involved and the scope of the matter are shocking.
Therefore, the officialization of the salt industry is a major event that affects the whole body.
If the Wang family dies and the net is broken, driving up the price of salt, then Datang will be hit hard.
The country is in decline, and the Tang Dynasty, which is waiting for prosperity, can't stand such a toss.
Therefore, Li Shimin did not dare to make a move for a long time.
Without the chance of a one-hit kill, he wouldn't touch Wang Shi.
But now it's different, Li Chengqian showed up with fine salt, they can use commercial warfare to break the monopoly of the Wang family's salt industry in an upright manner.
Salaries are drawn from the bottom of the pot.
Li Shimin said to Liu Renyuan: "Do you know the price of fine salt in Qinghuo Trading Company?"
Liu Renyuan replied: "Eighty Wen for each fight."
"But fine salt is ten times purer than sea salt."
"In terms of quantity, the price is not expensive, even lower than the sea salt and mineral salt sold by Wang's."
Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian again.
If you were someone else, you would definitely not be able to bear the temptation of this huge benefit.
Such pure edible salt is not too much even if it is sold for 120 Wen.
After all, this salt is not mixed with any impurities, and it is only good for the human body, not bad.
At this moment, Li Shimin was delighted from the bottom of his heart, "Haha, I have a son like Chengqian, so why worry about everything."
"There is a prince like Chengqian in the Tang Dynasty, so why worry about it?"
Immediately after...
He said to Liu Renyuan: "As soon as the fine salt comes out, it must touch the foundation of the Wang family."
"With Wang's character, they will do whatever it takes to destroy or obtain fine salt."
"You must send someone to protect it, Qinghuo Trading Company."
"This time, we will have a war with the five surnames and Qiwang, a war without gunpowder."
Lu Liuren willingly cupped his hands and said, "The last general takes orders."
Without knowing it, Li Chengqian silently conquered Li Shimin again.
After seven days.
Qinghuo Trading Company put the second product, fine salt, on the market.
In order to prepare enough fine salt, Mrs. Zheng hired a lot of labor for the past seven days, refining the fine salt day and night.
Before the fine salt was released, it was already famous in Chang'an City.
Some people believe it, while others scoff at it.
After all, in the long history of thousands of years, fine salt has never appeared, not even a hint of it.
However, on the day when the fine salt was released, the city of Chang'an was empty.
People who came to buy fine salt and watch the excitement surrounded the East and West Market.
In Nuoda's market, Wanpu is empty, only the customers of Qinghuo Trading Company lined up in a long queue that can't be seen at the end.
In order to maintain law and order in the market, the patrol battalions of the entire Chang'an city were dispatched to the eastern and western cities.
Li Shimin even issued an order to cancel the curfew within three days.
Qinghuo Commercial Bank operates non-stop for twelve hours.
Let every commoner in Chang'an City buy a first-hand fine salt with their own hands.
Refuse middlemen to make the difference.
At this moment, Qinghuo Trading Company has officially become the most influential trading firm in Chang'an City.
The advertising slogan "Produced by Qinghuo must be a high-quality product" has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people.
People queuing up to buy fine salt are all discussing fine salt.
"Oh, what a pity. Each household is limited to one bucket of this fine salt. This is too little. How can it be enough to eat? Moreover, these are more or less expensive, and they cost eighty yuan."
"You are such a bumpkin, don't you know that fine salt is ten times more pure than sea salt? A bucket of fine salt is equivalent to a bucket of sea salt, and a bucket of sea salt costs twenty coins. You won't be able to settle this account ?”
"What is the origin of this Qinghuo firm? It first sold magical mirrors, and now it sells edible salt with such a high purity. Does the Zheng family have such a great ability?"
Several people are discussing.
One of them cautiously surrounded him and whispered: "You don't even know about this? As far as I know, the real boss of this Qinghuo firm is the current crown prince Li Chengqian."
"Ah! It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It's no wonder. I heard someone say that the Crown Prince is a divine soldier sent from the sky to help Tang Dynasty overcome difficulties."
"Yeah, all these things, one after another, how can a mortal be able to do it."
Under Zheng's intentional or unintentional disclosure, the fact that Li Chengqian is the real boss of Qinghuo Trading Company quickly spread in Chang'an City.
The high-quality objects and Li Chengqian's reputation for benevolence and righteousness have completely pushed Qinghuo Trading Company to the forefront.
Mirrors, fine salt, Qinghuo Trading Company, and Li Chengqian are the hot topics in Chang'an City in recent days.
Three sentences, two and a half sentences cannot be separated from these four words.
In the long line, a man was arguing with the patrol battalion.
"Presumptuous! I am a member of Lu Guogong's mansion, how dare you be rude to me!"
The people in the patrol battalion ignored it, "Hmph, I'm buying fine salt this time."
"No matter what your background is, no matter where you are, you are all equal, and you are not allowed to jump in line for any reason."
"Otherwise the purchase qualification will be disqualified."
The people in the patrol battalion didn't show him the slightest sympathy.
They are working for His Highness the Crown Prince, even a servant of a small Duke Lu's mansion would dare to do something wrong.
Chapter 56 Several joys and sorrows
The man continued to shout: "It's unreasonable, I came here on the order of Duke Lu."
"Can you afford to delay his old man's affairs?"
The captain of the patrol battalion didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and waved: "Fork out!"
The words fall...
Several people from the patrol battalion drove him out.
It's not surprising to see people around, and there are countless people who were forked out today.
There are true and false, soft and hard, but the result is the same.
All were cleared out.
Qinghuo Trading Company, the top floor.
Bright lights.
Today, the elders of the Zheng family gathered together.
Looking at the endless dragon at the bottom of Qinghuo Trading Company, he was very energetic.
They had never heard of such a hot scene, let alone saw it with their own eyes.
The most valuable thing is that they handled this matter single-handedly.
This alone is enough to go down in history.
Fine salt, a product that is about to make the Zheng family more prosperous and powerful.
Inside the Chamber.
