"Your Majesty, is it because there are too many people looking for iron and selling it?"
Quan Wanji asked from the side.
Li Shimin nodded, "Yes, recently because many people are searching for iron tools and iron ore, this trend is still spreading across the country. Although the imperial court did receive a lot of iron, but if all this iron is used to make If it’s an iron pot, I’m afraid the Turks won’t be able to digest that much at once.”
"Because of the price, ordinary people cannot afford iron pots. I'm afraid they will be stagnant in warehouses. Although all the iron can be made into weapons, it will be too much for the national finance."
"This matter worries me very much!"
After listening, Quan Wanji understood Li Shimin's problem, but he was a little confused. Li Shimin should go to Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui to study such a major matter involving the country's people's livelihood! By the way, also There is an imperial master who you can ask for advice from, but why do you come to King Yan?
In Quan Wanji's eyes, although King Yan was very powerful, he was mainly due to his invincible creative ability, such as pouring potatoes out of the sky, etc. As for the grand strategy of governing the country, he was probably completely unimaginable.
Li You sat back on the rocking chair and said calmly: "Father, since we need people to use iron pots, why don't you just make a decree that they must use iron pots?"
"What's the trouble? You are the supreme and aloof emperor."
Hearing Li You's words, Li Shimin frowned slightly, very unhappy!
I have said it but not said it, and what do you mean by your last sentence? Why do I feel that you are mocking me?
Li Shimin didn’t come to Prince Yan’s Mansion to listen to nonsense!
Sure enough, Li You's complaints came right after.
[Oh, Li Er comes to ask us these questions again, can we say it? Of course we can’t!]
[After all, my character is that of a playboy and an incompetent prince. If I say that, and Li Er’s big mouth spreads it everywhere, those ministers will definitely have to dissect me. 】
[If you really say it, if you don’t say it when the character collapses, there will be more and more troubles. Then aren’t you looking for trouble for yourself? We won’t do such stupid things.]
[The other thing is------why do you, Li Eryi, ask, we have to say, we don’t want to lose face!]
[But having said that, Li Er is really a big fool if he doesn’t take advantage of the fact that there are more iron pots nowadays to promote iron pots!]
[The iron pot is the most powerful tool for making food! Do you still remember the hot and sour potatoes, shredded pork, tomatoes and eggs that you ate last time? Only iron pots can stir-fry them. Is what is cooked in a tripod a delicacy? That is pig food !]
[Also, the iron pot can not only stir-fry, boil, and steam, but can also make hot pot! Think about the taste of a hot pot after a busy day and pair it with sauce plates and fine wine at night...]

Li You complained while thinking about the scene of opening a hotpot restaurant in Chang'an Night Market and causing an explosion.
This is similar to the ancient streets of previous generations, with crowded crowds, a hot pot restaurant side by side, and relatives and friends sitting together, happily eating hot pot!
It’s simply not too comfortable!
Li Shimin not only heard Li You's complaints, but also saw the "Imagination Picture of Chang'an Night Market Hot Pot Restaurant" in Li You's mind!
He was instantly attracted, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
This hot pot restaurant is very promising!
If it can be promoted in Chang'an City, it will not only let the people know the benefits of iron pots, but also make Chang'an more prosperous. Then the national tax revenue will also increase, and there will be no shortage of money!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin was immediately ecstatic, this is what he wants!
He didn't expect that Li You would surprise him again. A simple sentence not only solved the problem of the iron pot, but also brought new opportunities to Chang'an's economy!
Night market hotpot economy!
During the day, people are busy making a living and have no time at all. When they rest at night, wouldn't it be a great thing if they could have a hot pot meal and a few sips of wine?
but……
There is a problem here!
That is, a curfew is currently implemented in Chang'an City. Although the enforcement is not too strict, ordinary people are not allowed to go out on the streets at night.
If this matter is not resolved, then the night market hot pot economy will not be able to develop!
There are many reasons for implementing late night snacks, the most important of which are the following two points. The first is that thieves, flower pickers, and lawbreakers mostly operate at night, so doing so can somewhat curb the occurrence of illegal things at night! The second is to prevent The rebels launched riots at night to facilitate management.
After Li Shimin thought carefully, he made a decision to cancel the curfew in Chang'an City!
Then vigorously develop the Chang'an Night Market hot pot economy!
Li Shimin was in a great mood after finding a solution.
"Your Majesty, what King Yan just said is just nonsense. The matter about the iron pot still needs to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will lead to public resentment!"
Quan Wanji was really worried about Li You and hurriedly helped him to smooth out his words.
But Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hahaha, I think what Youer said makes sense!"
???
Li Shimin's words immediately stunned Quan Wanji.
Li You also looked a little surprised when he looked at Li Shimin.
But Li Shimin himself was still smiling.
[Holy shit! Is this still the Li Er we know? Logically speaking, when he heard what I said, he should be furious, scold himself, and then ask us to go to Beiyuan to be grounded and reflect? 】
[I just talked nonsense, but Li Er actually thinks it makes sense, and we are also convinced.]
[Forget it, forget it, why do you think so much? In short, let Li Er and Quan Wanji go, I really can't stand it! 】
[What's the point of bragging with two big men? It's better to enjoy Hanxiang and their feet. This is life!]
Li Shimin listened to Li You's complaints, still smiling and not caring at all.
But at this moment, Wang Ling received the news from the eunuch outside, and hurriedly walked to His Majesty Li Shimin, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Changsun, Lord Fang, and Lord Du are already waiting at the Manlu Hall."
Li Shimin nodded, "I understand."
Then he looked at Li You and said with a smile: "You'er, you are now a prince participating in politics, and you have actually commanded General Zuo Wuwei. If you have time, go to the military camp more and don't stay in Prince Yan's palace all the time."
In order to let Li Shimin leave quickly, Li You nodded cooperatively, "Father, don't worry, I will do it next time!"
Seeing that Li You was rarely so cooperative, Li Shimin nodded happily, turned and left with a smile.
【Next time I will definitely...not go!】
Li Shimin, who had just turned around, heard this and almost turned around and slapped Li You, but he finally held back and left angrily.
Quan Wanji looked at Li Shimin's back and fell into deep thought...
