Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others also nodded repeatedly.
This kind of dried fish tastes not only delicious, but also has a unique flavor.
"Everyone, what do you think about what Xiaogong said about exchanging dried fish for food?"
Li Shimin asked slowly.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is feasible!" Fang Xuanling nodded directly and said.
Changsun Wuji on the side thought for a moment and then suggested.
"Your Majesty, I think you can take advantage of the time when you are distributing salt, glass, etc. to those merchants from aristocratic families, invite them to have a meal together, and then sell it to the public.
Maybe a pound of dried fish can be exchanged for more food!"
At this moment, Du Ruhui also remembered something, and said with a happy face: "Your Majesty, in two days, it will be the time to start distributing salt and glass!"
"If that's the case, then just follow what the auxiliary machine says!"
Li Shimin said.
"yes!"
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others all raised their hands in response!
The most powerful emperor of the Tang Dynasty and several prime ministers wanted to plan something together. Even if those merchants were backed by dignitaries from major aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty, they had no choice but to let them be manipulated.
Moreover, dried sea fish not only tastes great, but it is also the first time that it has appeared in front of many aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty.
Just for a taste, more than a thousand kilograms of dried sea fish can be sold.
After finishing the three fish dishes in front of them, all the merchants' eyes couldn't help but shine, as if they had seen the golden prospect of these dried sea fish.
"Fang Xiang, I can exchange one thousand five hundred stones for one hundred stones of dried sea fish!"
Fan Yanglu's steward quickly raised his hands and said.
It's not that he doesn't want to exchange for more, but there are at least 20 major aristocratic families present, and more than 30 small aristocratic families. One hundred dan of dried sea fish is already the limit that his Lu family can exchange for.
However, even a hundred stones made everyone look dissatisfied.
"Brother Lu really has a big appetite. I'm waiting for more than fifty people here, but your family wants one hundred dan?"
"Prime Minister, I, Mrs. Li of Zhaojun, are willing to exchange two thousand dan for one hundred dan of dried sea fish!"
"Prime Minister, I, Mr. Xue from Hedong, are willing to exchange 2,500 dan of grain for 100 dan of dried sea fish!"
"Prime Minister, I am Yu from Luoyang..."
As Steward Lu opened his mouth, all the stewards from the aristocratic families could no longer hold back and spoke one after another.
However, those who really want to exchange for dried sea fish are some northern aristocratic families.
However, despite this, Fang Xuanling was elated after hearing this.
…
"How many?"
In Liangyi Hall, after listening to Fang Xuanling's report, Li Shimin had an expression of disbelief.
"Back to Your Majesty, those fifteen hundred dan of dried fish will be exchanged for a total of 78,000 dan of grain!"
Fang Xuanling suppressed the excitement in her heart and said slowly.
"Good, very good!"
Li Shimin's face was full of joy.
"In this way, the food and grass needed by Li Jing and other armies will be relieved!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others quickly congratulated him with joyful expressions on their faces.
"Xiao Gong?"
Above, Li Shimin, who was happy for a while, then looked at Li Xiaogong.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"I will give you 10,000 stones of coarse salt. You can quickly take it to Qingzhou to control the soldiers of Dizhou, Qingzhou, Laizhou and Dengzhou. Quickly dry the dried fish for me before it snows.
Come out with fifteen thousand dan of food!”
Li Shimin said.
"I obey the decree!"
Li Xiaogong's face lit up and he quickly raised his hands in response.
One day later, Li Xiaogong led a thousand soldiers and escorted more than 300 four-wheeled carriages and headed directly to Qingzhou.
And in Qingzhou.
In the mansion where Li Xuan is.
Everyone has consciously wrapped themselves in thick clothes again.
"Master, when shall we go back?"
After eating a large bowl of fragrant sweet and sour sea fish, Li Baoding, Li Chengqian and others huddled together.
Now, the weather has gradually become colder.
And they were too lazy to go out again.
"Wait until a few people from the orchestra make the steam engine!"
Li Xuan glanced at these bastards who almost hugged each other for warmth, and said slowly.
He really didn't understand why these little bastards, as big men, could stand next to each other without any discomfort.
"Um!"
Li Baoding and Li Chengqian responded listlessly, then lay there paralyzed again.
Li Xuan has repeated this answer more than ten times.
As for Old Man Xiong, after finishing his meal, he disappeared with Li Zhong.
Without searching, Li Xuan knew that the old man should have gone to the main house of the Cui family next door to find some old men from the Cui family to play chess to relieve his boredom.
"Your Majesty, Prince Hejian is here again!"
Xue Rengui walked in from outside and reported to Li Xuan.
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded and looked directly at Li Chongyi aside.
"Li Chongyi, Aye is here, go and greet him quickly!"
"Yes, Master!"
In response to this, Li Chongyi, who had become accustomed to a warm home, could only stand up with a look of helplessness and walked out.
At the same time, Cheng Chusi, Fang Yizhi, Changsun Chong and a few others stood up.
Seeing this, Li Xuan had a wicked smile in his eyes.
"Um?"
Suddenly, a trace of doubt flashed in Li Xuan's eyes and he looked at Xue Rengui beside him.
"What else?"
"Back to the king, the prince of Hejian County has brought more than 300 carriages and 10,000 stones of coarse salt!" Xue Rengui reported again.
"It doesn't matter, Li Xiaogong is more familiar with this matter than we are, so don't pay any attention to it!"
Li Xuan said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xue Rengui nodded somewhat strangely and then stepped back.
Soon, Li Xiaogong, who was dressed in dusty clothes, walked in.
"I've met the King of Jin, I've met the Prince!"
"I have met the King of Hejian County!"
They were all members of the Li Tang clan. Although Li Xiaogong was only the county king, he was the head of the clan, so they only greeted each other.
Immediately, he sat down.
On the first floor, Li Chongyi and others quickly served hot tea.
"Prince Jin, Gao Ming, you may not know that last time, the 1,500 stones of dried fish were exchanged for 78,000 stones with those merchants from aristocratic families. Now, on your Majesty's order, I have brought another 10,000 stones of coarse salt to dry.
Dried sea fish!”
After moistening his throat, Li Xiaogong said directly.
"Well, I wish the prince success!"
Li Xuan said directly: "Nowadays, the weather is getting colder and colder. In a few days, it may snow. By then, the rivers and lakes will be frozen, and there will be no fish to eat in the mainland of the Tang Dynasty. Those dried sea fish will
The more rare it is, the more food can be exchanged from those noble families!"
"Hahaha, thank you King Jin for reminding me, I didn't expect this!"
Li Xiaogong's face was full of joy. "The King of Jin may not know that the 1,500 kilograms of dried sea fish have been sold out by those merchants. Before I arrived in Qingzhou, His Majesty had already sent someone to inform me of this matter!"
"In this case, Prince Hejian will speed up the drying process!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly again.
However, Li Xiaogong suddenly noticed it and looked at Li Xuan in surprise.
"Prince Jin is not going to help me?"
"This is a task given to you by His Majesty, what does it have to do with me?"
Li Xuan was stunned, "Besides, I have more important things to do!"
Li Xiaogong: "..."
"However, these little bastards have been doing nothing all day long. If the county prince is too busy, he can drag them away!"
So, with Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others stunned, they were ruthlessly betrayed by Li Xuan!
Then, that same day.
Dizhou, Qingzhou, Cangzhou, Laizhou and other Zhechongfu captains were summoned by Li Xiaogong.
