Chapter 64 We Can Make Money When Li Er Becomes the Throne
Ever since Li Er and his father Li Yuan had an in-depth discussion about the Turkic invasion, Li Yuan announced that he would abdicate early. After Yuan Tiangang's calculations, Li Er's enthronement ceremony was held on the sixth day of July.

Because of Bai Fan's arrival, Li Er became emperor in less than a month after he was promoted from the king of Qin to the crown prince, and then he canonized the abolished prince Li Jian as the king of Jin. It's just that the two were placed under house arrest because of their conviction, deprived of all rights and freedoms, and no one was allowed to meet each other!

Ever since Bai Fan took out the cavalry equipment, Li Er was in a good mood. With the help of stirrups and saddles, the soldiers of Datang galloped and fought immediately, no less than a native barbarian warrior of the Northland. The horseshoe is such a big killer, no longer have to worry about the war horse being eliminated due to the wear and tear of the horseshoe!

With so much equipment, the Tang Dynasty summoned craftsmen to rush to work day and night, and decided to create [-] sets of cavalry equipment before the war. Li Shimin couldn't help feeling confident in winning the future Turkic War!

On this day, Li Shimin found Bai Fan, "Bai Fan, now the problem of cavalry has been solved. As you said, all the armies of the Tang Dynasty have prepared pike formations to deal with cavalry. Armament is no longer a problem, but there is still a shortfall of 10,000+ I don't know if you have any good ideas?"

These kinds of things, often many important ministers and counselors are thinking hard, but Li Shimin knows that the kid in front of him can always come up with some strange ideas, so he summoned him to ask!
Bai Fan did some calculations, and the 10,000+ guns are all military pay, and they are paid out one after another within three months. Since it is not paid out all at once, there is a way to solve it.

"Your Majesty, if we don't have money, we need to find a way to make money. Caomin has a secret recipe for making salt that he developed with Senior Brother Yuan. You can use bitter salt, poisonous salt, and even sea water to make edible salt, and the texture is excellent. Far surpasses all the salt in the world! Its shape is like white snow, and grass people call it snow salt!
Considering the current situation before, I was afraid that if this technique leaked to foreign countries, it would be harmful, so I haven't dared to use it yet!Now that the world is established, Caomin is willing to present this secret recipe. Your Majesty, please choose a loyal and reliable person to protect this place, and then pay close attention to making salt. With this kind of good salt, we can first sell it in limited quantities to foreign countries, such as Goguryeo and Gaochang. Wait, even if we sell a catty of gold to those foreign nobles for a catty of snow salt, there must be people rushing for it.Then we can definitely make a fortune! "

Are you serious?Li Er seemed to be in disbelief, it looked like white snow's table salt?

It wasn't until Li Er saw the finished product brought by Yuan Tiangang that he really believed that there was such a great thing!This kid can not only solve his urgent needs, but also make such great contributions to benefit the country and the people. Very good, he is simply his lucky star!
"Boy, for such a great achievement, it stands to reason that you can be named a marquis, but you also know that you are too young, and it is the limit to raise your title to a viscount at most, so you can only get it from other places." I have rewarded you, I can decide what kind of official position you want, and let you have a certain right to choose!" Li Er said.

Bai Fan is speechless, what a miser, it's obvious that he doesn't want to give rewards, if you want a title, you only give it to a viscount, if you want an official position?I don't know how to be an official and want money?Datang is dead poor!

After pondering for a moment, Bai Fan said, "Your Majesty, the grassroots don't want official positions, and they don't want titles. The grassroots are happy and carefree. This salt-making secret technique is dedicated to the people of the Tang Dynasty, not for official rewards, and there are my senior brothers in it." The credit too!
How about this, give all the official positions and titles to senior brothers!

Knowing that Datang is currently in financial difficulties, you should reward the boy with the Wangjing Tower that was confiscated a few days ago!The Wangjing Tower is also considered to be of extraordinary value. The boy has a skill and can open a restaurant. With this place, he can be regarded as having a living! "

Li Er is so angry!What is not a good choice for you kid, but why do you want to do that businessman's business?

"What's wrong with merchants? They also rely on labor to support themselves! Besides, I don't do it myself. I find someone to manage it, and then I get a few companies to develop together, and then the proceeds are divided into [-]% of the net profit of the court. Contributed to the country!"

Li Er said in a deep voice, "Since ancient times, the country has not competed with the people for profit, do you know that?"

Bai Fan retorted, "We are not competing with the people for profit. Those who can afford to eat and drink in the Wangjing Tower are not high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but are rich and rich. When the country is in crisis, you ask them to take the money and they will all give you money." Those who don't take it are rich and unkind, so we can only follow the curve strategy, earn enough money from food, and then distribute more profits to the country, so that the country can become richer and richer!

At best, I am killing the rich and helping the poor, not competing for profit with the people! "

When Li Shimin heard it, it really made sense!
Nodded, "This matter can be up to you, but you must remember not to run it yourself, so as not to damage your reputation. I am waiting for the day when you can serve the court, but the court will not hire a merchant. You have to be serious!"

In the end, the matter of Xueyan was kept secret, Bai Fan won the Wangjing Tower, Yuan Tiangang was granted [-] households in Shiyi, and Li Er sent his confidant minister Li Shentong to preside over the matter. With the army in place, then choose another day to go north to set off!

Bai Fan wasn't idle either, he didn't have to worry about important matters in the government, he just needed to earn money, he brought in Li Jing's family, Cheng Yaojin's family, Changsun Wuji's family, and his own Bai family, a total of four families joined in to watch the scene Lou, agreed to give [-]% to the imperial court, and the rest will be divided into [-]% for the family. Although other people are a little embarrassed and feel that Bai Fan contributes the most, but Bai Fan knows the profit. He is alone, and it is not good to take too much. Everyone divided equally, and the last few families accepted his favor!

As for the matter of running the restaurant, Bai Fan doesn't need to worry about it. After the wives of the several families discussed it, they handed over all the management to the wives, and all of them worked together. The Jinglou opened up!
As soon as the stir-fried dishes came out, they immediately attracted the attention of Quan Chang'an. In this era where only steaming and cooking were available, it was hard to imagine how much temptation a plate of fried meat could bring to these ancient people, but one thing is enough to prove that after seeing Wang When Jinglou earned [-] guan a day, Li Shimin became jealous!

This is simply a money grab!Although I didn't expect so many rich people in Chang'an City, it is obvious that the [-]% profit given by Bai Fan is not good at this time!

In the end, after some bargaining, the two parties agreed that Wangjinglou would give [-]% of its net profit to the imperial court for the treasury. At the same time, the imperial court would not interfere with the operation, and would also give various policy conveniences, because Bai Fan said that Wangjinglou would open everywhere in the future. In the whole country, what kind of hotel chain is called!

The remaining [-]% of the profits are still divided equally among the four families, and it is not an exaggeration to say that each family is making a lot of money every day!
While Bai Fan was busy with his money-making business, the Turkic War was getting closer and closer!
