Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

"Uncle, brother Liu is here to invite you"

There has never been love for no reason in this world, and there has never been hatred for no reason.

Li Yuanli never believed that a person who had just fought with him would somehow apologize at his feet.

What does this mean?

It means that Dou Xiaoci is profitable.

When he came to Liu Bai's tent and saw an agreement with the Wei clan seal and Liu Bai's private seal, he knew that he had been played.

Liu Bai and Wei Bingchen looked at him with smiles, while Wang Shouren sat beside him drinking tea.

Chai Lingwu bowed his head and played with his fingers, Dou Xiaoci gloated.

just nobody talking

Li Yuanli clutched his fragile heart and said tremblingly, "I want to live a few more years."

For him, that agreement was a blessing in disguise.

He, Prince Xu's Mansion, can eat [-]% of the profits from the thirty boatloads of refined salt.

Thirty ships are enough to occupy the entire salt industry market from Guanzhong to Longyou.

The profit of [-]% is probably several times higher than the money earned by Prince Xu's Mansion in the past few years!

The only requirement is that the agreement requires that a salt note be issued in the name of the governor of Wu County.

Salt banknotes, the so-called Yanyin, in simple terms, are evidence that salt can be legally sold.

Without salt bills, these thirty boatloads of salt would not even be able to enter the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Are the salt notes opened casually?

Opening this opening means that the government-run system of Datang Salt Industry will collapse in an instant.

In fact, the ministers in the DPRK and China, together with Li Er, all believed that the salt industry had long been opened up and operated independently by the people.

They all know that although the official camp can guarantee enough benefits for the court, it seriously stifles the enthusiasm for the development of the salt industry.

The Tang Dynasty was waiting to be rejuvenated, and no one wanted to let this "fertile land" that could produce gold go to waste.

However, the interests of too many people are involved.

Even Li Er has to weigh it carefully.

The same is true of the cast iron industry before.

It was only because Changsun Wuji had gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers and took the private power into his hands, but the Liu family picked the peaches, so the Youzhou Iron Mine came into being.

Li Yuanli, in his capacity as the governor of Wu County, submitted the paper for the issuance of Yan Yin, and it would definitely be approved.

But at the same time, he also has to bear the pressure brought by the original stakeholders.

And these pressures can easily tear him, the prince, into pieces

Chapter 1531 You may not be charged with any crime in the end, just click and kill

"Can I not sign?"

After hesitating for a long time, Li Yuanli finally plucked up the courage to speak out.

Liu Bai answered very simply.

"No."

When he does things, he never considers the ability of the executor, but just sees whether the person who will do it is the most suitable one.

There is no doubt that the complete privatization of the salt business can only be carried out by Li Yuanli.

First, he has enough status.

Regardless of whether the prince has real power or not, it is the prince after all.

The most important thing is that he is Li Yuan's own son, and among the many royal families, he is the only adult.

Let him lead the princesses, and sell salt as the main business content, and the ministers in the court can't say anything.

Secondly, he is the governor of Wu County, and in a practical sense, the highest person in power in the entire Wu County.

Finally, it is the most important point.

Liu Bai needed him to pay a different kind of voting certificate in this way.

There are really few of Li Yuan's sons who are worry-free.

In the bones of the Li royal family, the blood of rebellion flows.

Liu Bai didn't mind, he thought too badly of Li Yuanli, an 'outsider'.

He is good at tying some people to his boat in a stake-related way.

Just like Zhang Liang back then.

It was also because Liu Bai took advantage of him that he was willing to be driven by him.

Once Li Yuanli turns his back on the water, as long as the agreement he signed is spread casually, his fate will not be as simple as being ruined!

Li Yuanli's forehead was sweating.

He had a feeling of being on a pirate ship.

It's a done deal, and it won't work if we don't get on.

He gritted his teeth and didn't take the pen handed over by Wei Bingchen.

Instead, he bit his finger and stamped a bloodstain on the agreement.

After the building was finished, he seemed to have lost all his strength, and sat down on the ground, unable to stand up no matter what.

clap clap-

Liu Bai took the lead in applauding.

Others also celebrated.

Wei Bingchen's eyes shone with wisdom, and he said half-truthfully, "Congratulations to Your Royal Highness Xu!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and cupped his hands to Liu Bai, and said, "Let's go right here and send the [-] cargoes to the mouth of the Yangtze River. At that time, we must ask Patriarch Liu to send someone to meet them!"

Liu Bai got up and waved his hands to see him off.

Chai Lingwu and others also left in a sparse manner.

In the tent, only Liu Bai, Wang Shouren and Li Yuanli were left.

The smile on Liu Bai's face gradually faded, and he said lightly, "Yuan Li, you should feel lucky."

Li Yuanli sat on the ground, smiled wryly, and said, "I should really feel lucky because I will never want to go back to Chang'an again in this life."

He was right.

Salt and iron are related to the lifeblood of the empire, and countless people will benefit from stripping this part of the industry from the control of the empire.

Similarly, there will be countless people who will lose their original interests.

For example, Datang's treasury and nephew can be called a money bag.

What Li Yuanli did was tantamount to slashing the purse severely.

Li Er and Liu Bai will naturally preside over the follow-up stitching work, but this money bag can no longer bear the toss.

Li Yuanli's knife can no longer have anything to do with the money bag in this life.

Wang Shouren put down his teacup, and said, "Not only are you lucky, you should also be grateful. The royal blood is an honor, but it is also a shackle. From this point of view, from Li Tai to Li Min, they are much more free and easy than you. The decision has been made.”

Li Yuanli pursed his lips and remained silent.

As a royal family, especially a direct bloodline, who can have no illusions in their minds?

Even if they can't reach that position, at least they have to be like Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong, holding a party's power.

And this fantasy was completely shattered the moment he pressed his fingerprints.

He and his descendants can only be dutiful princes.

Without contaminating the power of the imperial court and continuing for five or six generations, they are basically no different from ordinary people.

The new industry quickly formed the basic framework.

The Liu family has already had sufficient entrepreneurial experience.

From arranging staff, to formulating the sales place, to confirming the sales method

After a series of procedures, it didn't even take half an hour.

Shen Wansan has been on the island all the time, and his plan is full of practicality and rationality.

A brand new report was placed on Liu Bai's desk.

Liu Bai didn't look at it, and handed it directly to Li Yuanli, who had been in a daze.

In the report, there is no specific person in charge.

After all, from the big shopkeeper to the various places in charge, as well as the heads of various departments, they have not been determined.

Only the person in charge of financial operations wrote the names of the Liu family.

It is an old employee who retired from Lingnan Branch.

"Don't be dejected. These days, earning more money is the kingly way. What do you think you can compete with your emperor with your virtue? Maybe you will be charged with a random crime in the end, and the matter will be settled with one click."

Li Yuanli sighed and took the report.

"Let me go back and think about it. If possible, I would like to use some of the profits to go to disaster relief first."

From this sentence, it can be seen that Li Yuanli accepted his fate.

He didn't pay much attention to the waterlogging before.

After asking for a few talents from the Liu family, they didn't bother.

Now, the situation has changed, and he has made up his mind to manage his one-acre three-point land well.

If there is no accident, he played and published the excerpts of Yanyin, and when he got the approval, there was also an imperial edict to change his title of prince.

The four most noble titles of 'Qin Jin Qi Chu' are completely impossible.

The king of Wu gave it to Li Ke, and the king of Wei gave it to Li Tai, which is impossible.

Although the King of Yue didn't seal it out, this land was clearly owned by Liu Bai, and it was even more impossible.

Li Yuanli estimated that the title he was most likely to get was 'King of Tan'.

The ancient country of Tan, not far from the salt field, is just right.

Liu Bai pondered for a while, and said: "Forget it, go to old Shen to support 30 guan and use it first, let's talk about it if it's not enough."

Salt selling is a long-term development industry. If the profits from the 30 shipments of salt were distributed to Li Yuanli, it would be almost [-] guan.

Li Yuanli bowed his body and exited the tent.

Liu Bai rubbed his eyes and let out a long breath.

"Do the math, isn't it time?"

Wang Shouren stood up and said, "It should be almost done. It will take at least three months for the news to reach those places and then come back. During this period, the military tickets in Jiangnan must be in stable circulation. The young master's big plan can officially start." !"

Liu Bai nodded, and said, "You've come to write a letter. You've been very tired recently. It's worth the three-month vacation after working hard for half a year."

"Follow your fate!"

As soon as Wang Shouren cupped his hands, he sat down and picked up his pen.

He who has always been as stable as Mount Tai, at this moment, unexpectedly showed a somewhat excited expression on his face

Chapter 1532 This excuse...is too bad

The operation of an empire requires a huge organizational structure.

The organizational structure of the Tang Dynasty was inherited from the former Sui Dynasty, and the organizational structure of the former Sui Dynasty was inherited from the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

This structure can be divided into three parts: political, military, and agricultural.
