Chapter 289 Paving the way for son-in-law! ! !
Looking at the fine sand as white as snow in the bowl, the bosses were all shocked.
Changsun Wuji asked curiously:
"Mr. Zhuang, do you think this is refined salt?
But the salt we eat on weekdays? "
Zhuang Zhou nodded with a smile and said with a smile:
"Yes!
However, this salt is much purer than what you usually eat, and it has no bitter taste. "
As he spoke, Zhuang Zhou had already pinched a pinch of salt and sprinkled it on the peanuts.
"Come on, have a taste!"
Everyone was waiting for nothing, they just picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
“It’s delicious!”
"It's full of salty flavor!"
"This salt has no bitter taste at all!"
"Good salt, really good salt!"
"..."
Now several big bosses are staring at Zhuang Zhou with admiration on their faces.
Even Wei Zheng was extremely surprised.
Is it possible that this person is an immortal descended to earth? Otherwise, how could there be such exquisite fine salt?
"Zhuang Zhou, how much salt do you have left?"
Li Er asked directly.
Zhuang Zhou originally thought about bringing the salt from later generations and selling it to make a fortune.
But if you think about it seriously, this is actually completely harmful to Datang.
Because there is actually no shortage of salt in the Tang Dynasty now.
But there is a lack of purification technology.
Besides, salt has been the most important thing for rulers in all dynasties.
It is a national issue.
So Zhuang Zhou didn't dare to make any decisions about salt.
And he immediately decided to dedicate the salt-making method to Li Er.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to dedicate the method of making refined salt so that people all over the world can afford salt."
Li Er obviously grasped the key point:
"Zhuang Zhou, you mean... you can make salt?"
When the other big guys heard this, their eyes suddenly turned to Zhuang Zhou.
The expression in these eyes was complete disbelief.
Zhuang Zhou nodded calmly and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty.
When I traveled around the world with an immortal master, I met an extraordinary master and learned how to make refined salt.
Compared with traditional sun salt and boiled salt, this method not only has higher yield.
And the purity of the refined salt is far beyond ordinary. "
This is of course made up.
There's nothing we can do!
He had told Li Chengqian before that he had learned from the immortal master Li Er.
This lie must continue.
As the saying goes, a lie requires countless lies to cover it up.
Li Er didn't pay attention to this, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly frowned again and said worriedly:
"Zhuang Zhou, do you know how powerful this method of making refined salt is?
If it fell into the hands of lawless people and they used it to monopolize salt, wouldn't the people suffer? "
Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly and said:
"The Holy One is concerned about the country and the people, which is actually a blessing to the people of the world.
The reason why I dare to offer this method is precisely because I have a suggestion. "
"Oh? What do you suggest?"
Fang Xuanling asked curiously.
Zhuang Zhou said in a deep voice:
“I suggest that the imperial court establish a special salt affairs agency to be responsible for the production and sales of refined salt.
This institution was directly controlled by the imperial court to ensure that the production and price of refined salt were within control.
At the same time, the court could also set up a salt franchise and sell it uniformly to the outside world to prevent private monopoly. "
"Okay!"
After hearing this, Li Er's eyes flashed with admiration and he said:
"Zhuang Zhou, your suggestion is very good.
This not only ensures the quality and output of refined salt, but also prevents criminals from taking advantage of the opportunity to monopolize it.
In this way, people can really eat high-quality and low-priced refined salt. "
After hearing this, all the big guys nodded in agreement.
They knew that Zhuang Zhou's move was not only for the people of the Tang Dynasty, but also for the prosperity and stability of the entire Tang Dynasty.
Seeing everyone's satisfied expressions, Zhuang Zhou felt happy in his heart.
He knew that he wanted to transform the Tang Dynasty.
These are the most basic things.
Moreover, in the future, the people of the Tang Dynasty will really be able to eat salt.
This will be such a meritorious thing.
At this time, Li Er suddenly stood up and bowed his hands to Zhuang Zhou.
Everyone was shocked.
What is your Majesty doing?
Zhuang Zhou was also puzzled, so he heard Li Er say:
"Zhuang Zhou, I thank you on behalf of all the people in the world!"
Li Er is such a straightforward person, as long as you are really good for Datang.
He is completely able to let go of his arrogance and is willing to listen to you.
Wei Zheng knows this best.
Now that Li Er has set an example, the other big guys also bowed to Zhuang Zhou.
This is sincerely for the people of the world.
Zhuang Zhou also quickly stood up and bowed to everyone:
"Everyone, please rest assured that since I am fortunate enough to come to Datang, I will definitely do my best to contribute to the construction of Datang."
Although everyone didn't quite understand it, what was the meaning of adding bricks and mortar behind it.
But the meaning is completely understandable.
Thinking of this, Li Er felt that he could bring up what was on his mind.
We must completely tie him to the development of Datang.
"By the way, Zhuang Zhou, I think you must be twenty years old, right?"
Li Er introduced the topic at this time.
Zhuang Zhou didn't know what he meant and replied:
"More than that, I'm twenty-two this year."
"Oh, that's a big deal! Have you ever gotten married?"
"No! It's still early!"
"It's still early. At your age, it's time to start a family and start a career in the Tang Dynasty. Why don't I arrange a marriage for you..."
After Li Er said this, the other big guys were also moved.
People like Zhuang Zhou, judging from the current situation alone.
The abilities this man possesses cannot be underestimated.
Although he has not become an official now, it will only be a matter of time.
The future prospects will also be limitless.
Therefore, winning over Zhuang Zhou through marriage must be the best way.
But Zhuang Zhou didn't think so.
The main reason is that his thoughts have not changed.
If you have one or two confidante in this era, that seems to be completely possible.
And Zhuang Zhou has this idea!
But asking him to get married and start a family here seems a bit difficult to accept.
So he didn't hesitate and spoke directly from his heart:
"Your Majesty, I haven't thought about starting a family yet. I still want to have a career for a few more years."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said:
"A good man should have this intention, but this kind of career is not inconsistent with starting a family. On the contrary, it will be beneficial to your career."
"exactly!"
Cheng Yaojin was still devouring the peanuts and said while eating:
"It's a pity that I, Old Cheng, don't have a daughter, otherwise I would be betrothed to you.
Having a son-in-law like you would make me happy! "
Li Er glared again.
Talents like Zhuang Zhou must be firmly grasped.
The best way is to be your own son-in-law.
This is the prospective son-in-law that Li Erxin has identified in his heart.
What are you, Cheng Yaojin, doing!
But now I just mentioned it, after all, my brother-in-law is still around.
It’s not good to mention Changle directly.
Let’s talk about it later!
Next, Li Er asked Zhuang Zhou to talk about the increase in agricultural production that he had discussed with him all night.
In fact, the reason why Li Er organized today's meeting was to call in several big shots from the DPRK and China.
In the final analysis, I just want Zhuang Zhou to have a chance to show his face.
Because if Zhuang Zhou wanted to stand out in the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't just do these novel things.
Don't think that just getting sweet potatoes and potatoes is enough. The title of county baronet is almost over for you.
If you want to move up, you have to make greater contributions.
The most important achievement in the Tang Dynasty was military exploits.
But it's probably unrealistic to ask Zhuang Zhou to fight.
So we still have to think about making contributions to increasing agricultural production.
As the emperor, Li Er could just take advantage of the situation.
After all, it doesn't matter if he alone has the say in this court.
Zhuang Zhou nodded and said:
"Okay! Then I will talk to the big guys about increasing agricultural production."
"In addition, to be honest with you, I have also drawn up a plan for the transformation of the Tang Dynasty.
These are some personal opinions that I would like to share with you. "
