While the audience of Snow Beer continues to expand, there is something in Chang'an City that has brought a lot of changes to everyone.

That's the can that became popular since last winter.

In addition to setting up a canned workshop in the workshop city, the Chu Prince's Mansion also set up a canned workshop in Guangzhou and Puluo.

After the continuous stream of tin-plated iron sheets were transported to Guangzhou and Puluo, cans of canned fruits were transported back to Chang'an City.

After using tin plated iron sheet to make canned boxes, the cost has dropped significantly.

Although it is still difficult for ordinary people to consume on a large scale, it is still no problem to buy it and try it out during festivals.

"Li Zhong, are you talking about Kuan'er's favorite fruit, this smelly durian?"

In the Summer Palace, Li Shimin looked at a can of just-opened durian in front of him, his face full of disgust.

Obviously, Li Shimin is a person who doesn’t like durian.

"Yes, it is said that this canned durian was specially told by His Royal Highness of Chu to make the canned workshop in Puluozhong. On the contrary, the other canned fruits were chosen by the local workshop shopkeepers themselves."

Li Zhong is also not interested in durian.

In his opinion, canned durians costing 100 cents a can look like this?

He doesn't want to eat it if he gives it to him.

What's more, it's so expensive.

"This Kuan'er...the taste is really unique!"

Li Shimin commented speechlessly.

"Your Majesty, although this canned durian is very smelly, in addition to His Highness the King of Chu, there seem to be some people who like to eat it very much. Even the subordinates heard that some people don't eat a can of durian every day, they will feel unhappy."

Li Zhong did not just talk bad things about durian because he didn't like canned durian.

There are also many people in Chang'an City who like durian.

He reported this truthfully.

"Father, Commander Li is right. In fact, although some people don't like this durian very much, some people like it very much. Last time I gave Mr. Yu a box of canned durians, he seemed to like it very much."

Li Zhi was not cured and said in front of Li Shimin that he actually liked durian very much.

However, he happened to know that Yu Zhining liked it very much, so he couldn't help but interject.

"Compared with this canned durian, I still think canned lychees are delicious! Canned bananas are also good, but just making so many cans makes it waste a lot of iron, which is a bit distressing."

Salt and iron tea, these three things, gradually played a special role in the tax system of the Tang Dynasty.

Among all the commodities, the taxes provided by these three commodities to the court every year are the most stable.

It is basically increasing steadily every year.

Unlike some products, which are popular this year, they will change significantly next year.

As one of the most special things, Li Shimin has a different relationship.

After all, steel is not enough for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the jars used in this can can be recycled. Recently, some waste purchasers in Chang'an City specialize in purchasing canned and waste paper have appeared. After collecting these jars, they will be sold to iron smelting workshops. In fact, it is a material better than any iron ore."

Li Zhong's words made Li Shimin a little relieved.

"This tin-plated iron plate consumes a lot of tin. It is said that the price of tin in the Datang Trading Center has more than doubled compared to last year?"

"It is true, but tin is rarely used in the lives of ordinary people, so it has no impact on the lives of people. At most, the cost of making canned food has increased slightly.

However, compared with the selling price of canned food, the Chu Prince's Mansion should still be acceptable, otherwise the Feng Shixi Shop would not keep increasing the price."

Li Zhong, the intelligence leader, needs too much attention.

Fortunately, he has become accustomed to this kind of life over the years.

If someone else was changed, he might not be able to answer Li Shimin's various questions freely.

"It was rumored that Ping An Trade discovered a huge tin mine in Nanyang. Many months have passed, right? Why has the price of tin not been reduced?

Logically speaking, if you find a large tin ore, will the price of tin fall immediately?"

Many mineral deposits were discovered in Nanyang, and Li Shimin naturally heard it.

Whether it is a tin or a coal mine, it is a good thing for the development of Nanyang.

"After counting the time, the tin produced in Nanyang should be transported to Chang'an City soon. I heard that the Xiao family and the Cui family have already dispatched a lot of people to Nanyang in order to mine this large tin mine as soon as possible.

Especially since this year, the price of tin has been rising. A large tin ore is worth more than copper ore.

Once the tin mine is officially put into production, Ping An Trade will immediately become second only to the East China Sea Trade, and no other workshop can rival him overseas."

Li Zhong was still quite envious of Ping'an Trade's luck.

Over the years, except for Donghai Fisheries, which frequently discover various gold and silver mines overseas, other businesses have not gained much.

Although some small deposits are discovered from time to time, it is still very rare to have a tin ore of the size of Ping'an Trade this time.

He heard that the area of ​​the tin mine may be larger than that of several counties.

It is no problem to say that it is a mountain of gold.

"Well, although the relationship between ordinary people is not very big, no matter what it is, if the price rises too exaggeratedly, it is not a good thing."

After Li Shimin said this, he began to turn his attention to other places.

As for the canned durian that just opened, it is naturally cheaper to Lanhe.

Lan He, who had been greedy for a long time, said that he didn't like durian, but he didn't dare to say that he actually thought durian was a delicious food on earth.

Now that Li Shimin rewarded him, he didn't have to worry about anything, and hid in the corner and started eating happily.

When Li Shimin saw his happy expression, he thought Lan He was trying to make him happy, so he deliberately showed such a joyful expression.

After all, for most people, it is a kind of grace to reward you with what he has eaten.

I don’t see that there are often records in history books that which minister received the food rewarded by the emperor at home.

Li Zhi, who also likes to eat durian, can only sit upright and learn to handle government affairs.

The smell of durian in the air made him feel itchy.

Li Zhi secretly swears in his heart that after returning home, he must open three cans of canned durian and eat them at one time!
