The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 197 Li Min, I underestimate you
"What did you say? Li Yin made the method known to the public? Now the supply of mineral salt is in short supply? Three million stones have been produced in just one day? The revenue of the treasury has increased!?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it was announced the day before yesterday, and I never thought that it would be so fast."

Wei Zheng said so.

At this time in Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin summoned Wei Zheng.

Ask about Li Yin.

Before Li Shimin decided to raise the price of mineral salt, he did not expect that Li Yin would not do it directly.It really is domineering!
Among them, Empress Changsun was also present.

"Min'er's doing this may be a great thing that benefits the country and the people! Such a broad mind can only be compared with ancient sages!"

Queen Changsun said.

She raised Li Yin to the height of a saint.

"I always feel that what is he going to do? It's impossible for this kid to simply respond!"

Li Shimin felt that this was not a good thing.

Wei Zheng said at this time: "Your Majesty also heard from the sixth prince that he did this to benefit the people, so that people can eat safe salt and spend less money! Another point is to curb the five great families. As far as I know, just yesterday, in the entire Tang Dynasty, there were about [-] huge salt shops closed by the five great families!"

Five hundred large-scale salt shops, that number is quite shocking.

It made people feel extremely shocked.

The investment of a family is very large. If a family earns 1000 taels a day, it will lose a little money a year!This time beating the family really hurts!
Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, this time, I thought that Min'er really wanted to do something for the Tang Dynasty! The court has become rich! The people will definitely remember him!"

"No! I don't think so. He did this to make the family uncomfortable, but he also let me pass! Throughout the ages, salt has always been run by the government. Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it has been eroded by the family, and the official salt has become less and less. I was also looking for an opportunity to give the salt to the official camp, but I couldn't! Today, Li Yin gave me a chance, an excellent chance!"

Empress Changsun was puzzled.

"Isn't this also for His Majesty?"

"No! He is for himself!"

Now everyone is even more confused.

Why is this so?
"He still wants to use me as his pawn!"

Li Shimin's last words shocked Empress Changsun even more.

Is Li Yin really such a person?
I can't.

"How old is he, how could he think so much, and he was forced to hand over the method, and it was for the well-being of the people!"

Yes, all of this was forced by Li Shimin, without his persecution, how could Li Yin do such a thing?Why did it become different in Li Shimin's mouth?

"Queen, you don't know, it was originally a war between him and the family, but he got me into it step by step. First, he induced me to raise the price, and then he released the salt so that the people could buy mineral salt, which can be used to make salt. , but do you know? There are drawbacks to all of this!"

This made the two of them even more puzzled.

Li Shimin was smart in his first life, and he would fall into Li Yin's trap?
Then Li Shimin said: "First, the salt made by the people can be eaten, but the quality cannot be guaranteed! Everyone can make salt, which is not good for us!"

The two nodded, yes.

At the critical moment when Li Yin was fighting with the aristocratic family, Li Yin released the method, which also foreshadowed that Li Shimin could make his own salt.What Li Shimin had always wanted before, now he got it, but he couldn't be happy.

Empress Changsun then asked:
"What about the second?"

"Secondly, he did this to force me to take the Yan official camp! Because this is a good opportunity, if you control the salt, you can control the people's livelihood of the entire country. Now the family has weakened. I can only take action! This kid, I didn't expect him to be so smart!"

After what Li Shimin said, everyone understood.

It turned out to be like this.

Can't help but be deeply impressed by Li Yin's intelligence.

I thought it was a very common thing and was forced to change, but now it seems that it is not, it is Li Yin who calculated Li Shimin step by step, and everything is under his control!
"So, we are all pawns?"

"That's right, he's the one playing chess! We've all been taken advantage of! This kid, I underestimated him."

This may be the first time Li Shimin has taken the initiative to talk about it, and underestimated Li Yin.Maybe it's a kind of affirmation for him? !
Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin in disbelief.

Because she still doesn't quite believe that all this is true.

How old is Li Yin? At this time, Li Chengqian is still stupid. How could he become so powerful?Who did you learn everything from?
If it is true, then like the previous four-fruit soup, cola, glass, soap, etc., all of these were all set up by Li Yin?
Think carefully!

Fortunately, Li Yin didn't use it badly.

Otherwise, Datang would have one more enemy.

It is also fortunate that the Queen and Concubine Yang are mediating the relationship between Li Yin and Li Shimin, otherwise something might happen to them!

"Your Majesty, I think that the sixth prince is smart, but he used the right way instead of the crooked way. During this period of time, the economy of Chang'an City has improved, and he has a share of the credit! This is undeniable!"

Wei Zheng said so.

Those who should praise Li Yin should be given to him.

Empress Changsun also said: "Regarding Min'er's deeds, should we give him some encouragement and support him to improve! So as not to go astray!"

This is what she can do for Li Yin.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin said:

"Whatever he does, he does it for himself. I don't want to comment!"

shameless!Not even a compliment!

Wei Zheng asked again: "Your Majesty, what about the salt?"

"Pass down the order to close the mine salt and switch to the official camp!"

Now that there is a method, Li Shimin can naturally do it himself.

In this way, the costs are all controlled in their own hands, and such income is much better than taxes.

"Yes, I will deal with it now!"

When Li Shimin's imperial decree went down, the whole Tang Dynasty exploded.

After finally being able to make salt by myself, it ushered in the official camp.

Fortunately, the price of official salt was not high and the quality was good.

As for the salt from the five great families, they were kept at home and could not be sold.

About the disposal method of these salts.

Wei Zheng got Li Yin's instructions, and ran to Li Shimin to give a blow.

As a result, Li Shimin issued an imperial decree that each of the folks should not save more than one stone of salt, otherwise it would be confiscated and disposed of.

With this order, the whole family is in chaos.

Where did they dare to hoard any more salt, they just sold it all at a low price.

This time, a huge loss.

Fighting with Li Yin also lost a big income of Yanba.

At this time, they were gnashing their teeth at Li Yin, and they all wanted to eat him.

But Li Yin didn't feel anything at all.

Because in front of the group, there are new products coming out at this time.
