Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 7
Li Er was really excited at this time, and the Turkic boredom before was swept away.

"Duke Lu quickly talked to me about the salt making business. At this moment, Li Er smiled happily, and then said to the eunuch: "Go and bring a stool for Duke Lu and Mr. Zhao. Let's sit down and talk about it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cheng Yaojin and Zhao Han thanked him. Of course, Cheng Yaojin would not make salt making so simple. The old goblin also knew that Li Er was short of money. Some time ago, the Turks demanded more than half of Datang’s treasury money. If Li Er knew the cost If it is so low, it must be divided into a lot of shares, so it is difficult to talk about salt production.

Zhao Han was listening, feeling overjoyed, this Cheng Yaojin deserves to be called an old goblin.

Cheng Yaojin talked about the cooperation with Zhao Han at this time, and said: "Your Majesty, what I discussed at home with Zhao Han is that I will get [-]%, Zhao Han will get [-]%, and the remaining half will be given to Your Majesty."

In fact, the old goblin raised the cost a lot. It seemed that he gave Li Er half, but in fact he still gave Li Er [-]%.

In fact, Li Er was also envious of the industry of salt production, after all, Datang had always produced a large amount of fine salt.

Datang did not control iron and salt, Datang is a city tax, that is to say, anyone in Datang can buy and sell iron and salt, but if you have iron-making technology or a method of boiling salt, the iron is in the hands of Changsun Wuji Here, Changsun Wuji is the elder brother of Empress Changsun and uncle of Li Er. Li Er is not afraid that Changsun Wuji will not stand on his side, and the salt is in the hands of Wu Xing Qi Wang, who is different from Wu Xing Qi Wang, as the saying goes Well, there is no imperial power of a thousand years, only a family of a thousand years, because the family controls more than half of the scholars, and there are many recipes in their hands, and others have no recipes for brewing. It is impossible for Li Er to touch the family, and there are too many involved , I can only take it slowly, now that I have such a good opportunity, Li Er is so happy that he is about to jump up.

Li Er couldn't be more happy. Recently, he finally had something to make him happy. Moreover, salt is indispensable in marching and fighting. In the past, vinegar cloth was used instead. What kind of stuff can't work? Soldiers will lose strength after eating for a long time, so salt It can solve the soldier's physical problems, and can also earn a good reputation for himself, so that the people will forget that it is impossible to win the throne by killing his brother, but it can also let the people know that he is a good emperor.

"Okay, okay, okay, Li Er said three good things in a row, and then said to the eunuch: Pass on my will, give Lu Guogong a thousand acres of Yongye land, make Zhao Han the blue farmer, and have five hundred households in the city."

Cheng Yaojing is already a third-class Duke of the state, so it is impossible to be sealed. Besides, this credit is not enough to qualify for further promotion, so he can only give benefits. However, Li Er is a famous stingy man, so it is impossible to give money. Turkic snatched so much Money has been a pain for Li Er for a long time. It is impossible to send people out, so I can only give it to fields. There are many of them. Datang has a small population and a lot of land.

"Damn, this is a knighthood? Isn't that too simple? I'm still the seventh-rank county magistrate."

Li Er said to Zhao Han: "How about Uncle Lan Tian? Are you satisfied with my reward?"

Zhao Han hurriedly stood up and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Li Er nodded in satisfaction.

"I also know that Veteran Zhao is very good at fighting, and he is very loyal. It is a pity that he blocked the sword for Lu Guogong, and his body has been secretly injured, so he retreated early. Li Er also sighed after speaking! I also think it is so powerful It's a pity for a character to collapse prematurely."

Then he said: "You are also a county uncle now, so you can't stay in Lu Guogong's mansion all the time. How about I arrange your five hundred food towns in Xingyang Town?" Made it up, don't mind)
Li Er then asked Zhao Han: "Where did you learn other things in the old way?" Li Er wanted to know if there was anything else, and it would be better if there were, so that he would be more at ease in attacking the Turks, and he would not be afraid of the aristocratic family coming out. make trouble.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I and the old Taoist learn the basics, and what I can get out now is only salt. However, I am currently studying movable type printing, but it has not yet taken shape."

"What is movable type printing? Come and tell me carefully."

"Your Majesty, this movable type printing is an upgraded version of engraving and printing. Engraving and printing is laborious and inconvenient. This movable type printing is to change the engraving into a single one, so that there will be no one version of engraving that can only print one type of text." , can print a lot of books, and the cost is greatly reduced, and the quality is longer than that of engraving, but I have not responded to the research yet.”

Li Er jumped up instantly, this is really jumping up, no wonder Li Er is not excited, why the aristocratic family calls itself a thousand-year-old aristocratic family, because most of the scholars are in the aristocratic family, there are very few poor scholars, it is not that the poor and poor scholars are not smart , but there are few books. With this movable type printing, Li Er can train many poor scholars, and then he will not be afraid of the threat of the family. Now Zhao Han will give him a big cake, let Li Er know, and I can solve it for you For this question, Zhao Han wants Li Er to know that he has a lot of good things, but he won't take them all out at once, so that he won't be afraid of Li Er abandoning himself. With Li Er and the old goblin as his backers, he is really not afraid Now, I am not afraid of letting such powerful and aristocratic families worry about my own life.

Li Er asked excitedly: "When will you be able to manufacture this type of movable type printing? What do you need? I will satisfy you in everything," Li Er wanted to find a way to tie Zhao Han, which is a treasure.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I used to be poor, so it was very difficult to manufacture, and a lot of copper was needed, because copper is needed to make movable type printing last for a long time."

Zhao Han is really poor. Now that he has such a good opportunity, how can he let go of the opportunity to blackmail Li Er?Besides, if you have enough money, not to mention movable type printing, I can give you a printer that is better than movable type printing, but Datang is out of electricity. It's uncomfortable, although I don't have a mobile phone or a computer, but it's really inconvenient without electricity.

As soon as Li Er heard that he wanted money, he felt a toothache. At this time, Li Er became stingy, and he really didn't want to give it.

Li Er can only say: "For the copper, I will go to the Ministry of Industry to transfer a batch, and I will transfer a group of workers to help you. As for the money? Why don't you wait for the salt to be produced and deduct it from the salt. "

When Zhao Han heard this, he curled his lips in his heart and said, "" Li Er couldn't have come here through time travel, right?Really picky. "

But I still have to reply to Li Er, I have to give the emperor face, so I had to reply: "Yes, I will make movable type printing as soon as possible. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's important mission."

Li Er smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I know to share my worries at a young age, I think you are still young, or I will give you an official."

As soon as Zhao Han heard this, he couldn't do it. He would not let go of an official if he was beaten to death, as long as he had a title, he was not the material for intrigue.
