Li Shimin looked solemn and said to Tang Sufan seriously: "Tang Boy, do you know what your method of removing the toxicity of salt mines represents?"
Tang Sufan looked at the majestic old Li, laughed, and said jokingly: "It means that several big families will be targeting you tomorrow! It means that countless disasters will hit your forehead tomorrow! Old Li, how can you wear so much? Underpants, don’t think too much about certain things..."
After that, Tang Sufan kindly patted Li Shimin on the shoulder, leaving the people around him speechless for a moment.
So what size pants should the emperor wear?
How could Fang and Du not know what their master was thinking.
He quickly advised: "Tang boy, this method can be said to be directly related to the financial prosperity of the imperial court. It is better to hand it over directly to the imperial court. Even if you don't like officialdom, the imperial court will give you a lot of rewards~"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Tang, this method of making salt is not only beneficial to the court, but also benefits the people of the world. You are a disciple of the Immortal Sect, so you should have such a big heart~"
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui sang in harmony, staring at Tang Sufan expectantly.
Tang Sufan rubbed his forehead, knowing that these two bastards of Lao Li would say this...
"What do you think, Lao Li?"
Li Shimin hurriedly frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Tang, as long as you hand over this method to the imperial court, His Majesty will definitely reward you without hesitation!"
"Tsk, what reward can that poor guy Li Er give me~"
This made Li Shimin's chest feel tight, and it felt like a knife stabbing his heart. These words...
It’s not unreasonable…
This bitch doesn't care about officialdom. For such a level of merit, he really may not be able to give other rewards...
Tang Sufan then shook his head and sighed slowly: "And you are confused~"
Li Shimin and others were startled.
"Why?"
"Do you think, who has benefited the most from the salt industry in the imperial court today?"
At this time, everyone except Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Wuji who was standing aside.
Tang Sufan quickly said: "Of course it's that old Yinbi Changsun Wuji!"
Lao Yin Bi? ! ! !
Changsun Wuji, who almost got angry at these words, immediately blew his beard and glared!
Is this what my reputation is among the people?
You bastard, you don’t deserve to be a human being!
Cheng Yaojin suddenly laughed like a gun and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it is indeed Changsun Wuji, that old Yinbi!"
This made Changsun Wuji's old face darken even more...
Tang Sufan said sincerely: "Once this method appears on the surface, it will affect the interests of several major families. And when it appears in the court, the most direct impact will be on the Changsun family. Do you think that no matter where it appears, they will Will they let you go?"
Naturally, Tang Sufan had already considered these things. This is not a TV series. If you leave something to the emperor, you will have a bright future...
Li Shimin nodded. Logically speaking, this kid's idea was indeed a way of preservation.
Li Shimin asked in a daze: "But why do you think that the current Qi Guoguo has other intentions?"
Changsun Wuji, whose face turned a little dark when he heard these words, suddenly felt a tremor in his heart and took a breath.
Listening calmly, not daring to say anything, just asking this kid to be merciful...
"The Changsun family is the largest family in Chang'an City, and I'm not sure about the temperament of that old man Changsun Wuji. Once I hand over this thing to the imperial court, he will naturally know who gave this method to the imperial court. That hand will naturally reach out to me.”
"Even if it is handed over to the court, do you think the noble family will not put their hands in it?!"
"Because once the aristocratic family knows that based on their salt industry foundation, they will definitely seize the market faster than the imperial court and develop financial resources more quickly. It will not be beneficial to the imperial court or the people!"
Li Shimin paused for a moment, Tang Xiaozi had indeed thought carefully.
Then he thought for a while and said: "How about you hand it over to me and guarantee that this method of making salt will only be known to His Majesty today, and your identity will be strictly protected, and I will never covet your credit!"
Tang Sufan stared at the busy workers in the backyard, and said softly with a somewhat enlightened look: "It really doesn't matter whether you get the credit or not. I don't want the reputation of performing, and I don't want to get into Li Er's sight." Inside...but Lao Li, you are a foreign imperial businessman. Although you can use this method to offer it to Li Er, it is unknown, and your fellow clansmen will have fun with you~"
"Not to mention other people, there is just the eldest grandson family. Do you have the strength to compete with the eldest grandson family?"
Indeed, if a foreign imperial merchant comes up with this world-shaking salt-making method, although it may be a good thing on the surface, those powerful people will definitely make things difficult for you afterwards.
This is the human heart......
Tang Sufan's consideration was based on Li Shimin's identity as an imperial businessman...
Li Shimin's expression froze. As an emperor, who else would dare to embarrass him?
As for the Changsun family, all the principals of the Changsun family are standing by and acting as my little brothers~!
Li Er really wanted to show off his cards this time so that he could directly win the salt-making method. After all, the salt-making method was too important...
But when he thought about this boy's attitude towards the officialdom and the royal family, and the fact that Guanyin Maid had just recognized him as his younger brother, and his considerations were reasonable, his thoughts suddenly changed, and he decided to endure it for a while...
"Then you plan to keep this method of making salt secret?"
Tang Sufan thought for a while and then said: "Old Li, I know you want to enter the officialdom and get rid of your identity as a merchant... But you have to do it step by step. After I let you make meritorious services this time, and you have your own foundation, I will consider this. Something, and I brought you in today just to let you know first..."
Li Shimin nodded happily, putting aside everything else, this boy really regarded him as a friend.
From a friend's point of view, it's interesting enough for him to know about it!
He thought of all this so thoughtfully...
Although this bitch only wants to get his own cabbage...
Li Shimin nodded and suppressed his enthusiasm for the method of making salt. It is true that this matter cannot be rushed.
Then they continued chatting softly: "Okay, then you kid will think about it first, but... you kid mistakenly accused a good person. Today, Qi State is very just and awe-inspiring, and he knows that he is dedicated to serving the country. He will never act like this." This is what your kid said..."
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he quickly straightened his waist, his beard was a little taller, and he even brushed his beard and glanced at Tang Sufan with a vague and contemptuous look~
Tang Sufan, who was looking outside, naturally didn't notice the look on Changsun Wuji's face behind him. He curled his lips and subconsciously said something along the lines of Li Shimin: "Tch, I wasn't killed by the emperor in the end..."
This sentence made several people look shocked at the same time!
The most horrifying among them are Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji!
Changsun Wuji almost pulled off his own beard!
His body trembled, and his chest felt so tight that he wanted to step forward to argue!
This guy is really talking nonsense! Is it okay to say this nonsense? !
However, Li Shimin quickly put a hand in front of him and stopped him with a deep look.
Li Shimin was still shocked, and he forced himself to be calm and asked softly: "Tang boy, why did you say this? This Duke of Qi is a confidant of the current Holy Emperor, and he is so loyal. How could he end up like this? What you said is really shocking. Got it!"
Changsun Wuji's old hands trembled with anger. This was not only terrifying, it was simply harmful!
