Chapter 339 Volume 4 Li Er is crazy, tiger poison eats seeds.

Li Er's life was actually a life full of struggles.

First fight against the sky, then fight against the earth.

Fighting against father and brother, fighting against brother.

In the end, Cai Dou came to the prosperous Tang Dynasty in his eyes.

In other words, what he is least afraid of in his life is struggle.

Even if he had to fight with his son now, he didn't take it seriously. On the contrary, he was very motivated to fight.

The better Li Chengqian performs, the more energetic he becomes.

Fang Xuanling and others felt that Li Chengqian's excessive limelight had made Li Er have other thoughts. Is this really the case?

No, that's not the case.

What Li Er is not afraid of most is competing with others. On the contrary, if no one competes with him, he still feels a bit overwhelmed at the top.

Only by continuing to fight, he seemed to be able to find a reason to continue.

In the past year, we only knew what Li Chengqian did and rarely talked about what Li Er did.

So now, let's recall what Li Er did in the past year.

Overall, Li Er did three things in total in the past year.

First, restore agriculture.

Second, revitalize culture and education.

Third, revitalize commerce.

These are the three things Li Er focused on in the past year.

The reason why he said he was resuming agriculture was because in the past few years since he took the throne, he had experienced successive natural disasters, which made him feel like he was living in poverty.

Fortunately, this year can be regarded as a good year, with no major disasters reported in various states and counties.

As a country dominated by agriculture, the famines in the past few years also gave Li Er a headache.

However, since last year, the situation has finally improved.

The food in the treasury is not full of grain, but at least it is not in short supply.

As for the revitalization of culture and education, it was done incidentally with the help of Li Chengqian's cheap paper.

Although it may seem like it was done incidentally, for Li Er, this matter was the most important matter of the country, second only to agriculture.

In fact, this has been the case in all dynasties. After filling the stomach, it is the construction of spiritual civilization. Coupled with the current special environment, revitalizing culture and education is also an urgent matter.

Any emperor or any ruling court with even the slightest foresight would not want to see a small number of people controlling culture and education. This is not a good thing for a country.

Of course, there is still a long way to go to revitalize culture and education, and results will not be seen in a year or so.

Everyone knows this.

However, nowadays, the literary culture is at its peak, and the library is crowded with people every day. Everything is developing in a good direction. It can be said that the future is promising.

The last step is to revitalize commerce.

In this matter, Li Er indeed took advantage.

Originally, it had just experienced a few years of famine, and the country was still recovering shortly after the founding of the country. Although there was business, it was very limited. However, the things Li Chengqian tossed out stimulated the development of business.

Naturally, Li Er would not let go of such an opportunity, so in the past year, he vigorously encouraged the development of business, not to mention, he really made some achievements.

Not to mention anything else, at least last year's business tax was equal to the sum of the past several years.

It was precisely because of these that Li Er had the confidence to attack Goguryeo.

…

The next day, noon.

Light snow is falling in Chang'an City.

Even on a windy and snowy day, there is still a constant flow of pedestrians on the street.

this is life.

Tang Yueming was sitting in the private room facing the street of Changming Restaurant, looking at the endless crowds of people on the street. He didn't know what he was thinking. Of course, his main purpose was to wait for those salt merchants from yesterday.

After returning yesterday, he had a discussion with the people in the caravan.

If he wants to get ahead this time, he must do one thing, and that is to suppress Qing Yan.

The reason for such a decision was due to another episode, which was the attitude of the eldest grandson.

Speaking of Changsun's attitude, he was actually confused before last night, but it was also last night that someone asked him a question that hit his soul.

It was that question that made him wake up from a dream, and he seemed to understand everything in an instant.

Not long after, a familiar figure finally appeared on the street. Tang Yueming smiled: "The distinguished guest has arrived. Let's make a pot of tea."

After saying that, he continued to look at the endless flow of people on the street.

As if they had made an appointment, the salt merchants came one after another.

"It's really inappropriate to keep Shopkeeper Tang waiting for so long." As soon as they entered the box, someone said with a smile.

Tang Yueming also stood up quickly and said: "Young man, you just came earlier. Why wait so long? Come on, please sit down."

Since they are all here, it means they agreed to yesterday's plan.

As for those who didn’t come, they won’t come.

Why wait until before sunset, haha, just talk, don't take it seriously.

Besides, if it was really going to come, it would have come a long time ago. Who would really delay it until then?

If it really comes at that time, it is enough to show that it is not sincere.

"This time we have to have Shopkeeper Tang take us to make a fortune together." Someone immediately laughed.

Tang Yueming smiled and said: "Don't say that, everyone, let's make a fortune together, but this time, I may have one more thing to trouble you."

"If it's no trouble or not, shopkeeper Tang will just tell you." Someone asked immediately.

"It's not a big deal. If the refined salt starts to go on sale, the price of coarse salt will definitely be affected, and green salt..."

As soon as Tang Yueming said this, everyone understood immediately, and someone immediately said: "What do I think it is? Everyone understands this matter. Shopkeeper Tang just wants to see it. In more than a month, I will call you

Its green salt is hard to produce in Chang'an City as grain salt!"

They also discussed this for a long time yesterday.

In terms of business, cracking down on Qingyan is not a bad thing for them.

Moreover, the cost of Qingyan is higher than theirs. Even if they start a price war, Qingyan is no match for them.

Of course, in fact, the cost of green salt is actually much lower than that of coarse salt. However, Murong Fuyun had to do some tricks, and with layers of exploitation, the cost went up.

In addition, this is smuggling after all. Although the government's investigation is not strict, the water inside is still not shallow.

The combination of these many reasons has resulted in the price advantage of coarse salt.

"Then I'll help you all." Tang Yueming immediately stood up and cupped his hands.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up and said, "Shopkeeper Tang, we also have something to ask for."

"Please say."

The man said: "That's right, this refined salt is indeed beneficial, and according to what shopkeeper Tang said yesterday, if it is sold throughout the Tang Dynasty, it will indeed be more profitable than coarse salt.

But the question is, will other places also go to Riyue Mountain to get goods?

If this is the case, then this business will be difficult to do.

Also, although we all know the identity of the Ming Dynasty, there is still a food embargo ahead, will there be a salt embargo later? If there is no explanation for this, we will not feel at ease."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Tang Yueming, wanting to get an answer from him.

Tang Yueming looked at everyone, nodded, and said: "I understand your worries, let's first talk about whether there will be a salt embargo.

Don't worry about this.

Although the refined salt came from the Ming Dynasty, you should also know that this business is not something that a kid can afford.

Let me tell you this, the relationship behind this business is very clear.

And that person didn't want to make money from this business. You should have noticed that the price, to put it bluntly, was a move that benefited the people because he cared about the people.

So, on this point, you can rest assured.

As for whether anyone will go to Riyue Mountain to get the goods.

Maybe, maybe not.
