After three roast ducks were eaten, Li Shimin bit into one again. It was not until the second one was finished that Li Shimin felt a sense of satisfaction, but in this satisfaction, there was also a sense of unfinished content.

"Fourteen, your roast duck is really good!"

"Go back and teach the palace chef a lesson!"

Li Shimin smiled and spoke.

He never thought that roast duck would taste so delicious.

And in this way, he naturally had some ideas.

"Yes, Father!"

Li Ming nodded, but did not refuse.

Although he plans to sell the roast duck in the future, leaving it to the imperial chef will have no impact.

After all, it is impossible for the imperial chef to leak it.

When Li Ming responded, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction on his face.

Then he pondered for a moment before speaking.

"By the way, what's going on with the Shaofu refined salt incident?"

"I heard that on the 14th, you made the young master more than 10,000 yuan in profit because of this?"

Li Shimin spoke with a question.

He has not forgotten his purpose of coming to find Li Ming.

I was only attracted by the roast duck before, but now that I have eaten and drank enough, of course I have to talk about business. When he spoke, Li Shimin also had a look of expectation and nervousness.

"Refined salt?"

Listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Ming was a little stunned, but he quickly remembered what Li Shimin said.

"Father, are you talking about refined salt?"

"Any questions?"

The figure nodded, still a little confused in his expression.

"Fourteen, I just want to ask you, how much refined salt do you have left?"

Looking at the confused Li Ming, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask directly.

"How much?"

Li Ming thought for a while, calculated the latest balance, and answered quickly.

"There should be more than a thousand kilograms left!"

"You need to go to the Shaofu to check the specific amount, but it should not reach 1,500 kilograms, probably just over a hundred buckets."

These days, the output of refined salt is not as exaggerated as before. After all, coarse salt is also limited. All coarse salt cannot be extracted into refined salt. By then, the price of coarse salt will rise. Once the price of coarse salt rises, then play

Dafa.

After all, what is the relationship between refined salt and ordinary people? No matter how expensive it is, it will not have much impact on society.

But once the level of coarse salt rises, people's livelihood may collapse.

So after these days, even if he has saved a lot of refined salt every time, it is only more than a thousand kilograms now.

"More than a hundred fights!"

Listening to Li Ming's words, Li Er was a little disappointed.

As the emperor, he probably knows a lot about the market price in Chang'an. The best refined salt only costs one hundred guan per dou, while the inferior snow salt only costs about 20 guan per dou. This refined salt is considered the best.

Green salt, Hegong salt.

More than a hundred dou is only about 10,000 guan. If it is snow salt, it will only be more than 2,000 guan, and it will be less than 3,000 guan to survive.

This little money is not as good as the remaining ten thousand guan of the young master.

"Father, you need refined salt, but most of the refined salt here in Erchen is just snow salt. The ones used in the palace should be tribute salt and green salt!"

Listening to Li Shimin's inquiry and looking at Li Shimin's reaction, Li Ming was a little confused and spoke with surprise.

Snow salt is considered refined salt to many people, but for the royal palace, very few snow salts are actually used. Most of them are green salt or tribute salt. Even though the output of green salt and tribute salt is very low nowadays, the cost of the palace is very low.

But there won’t be any problems.

As a result, Li Ming couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Not for me!"

Li Shimin shook his head.

Then he seemed to think of something again, and looked at Li Ming awkwardly.

The words ask again.

"By the way, the young master said that you have obtained some refined salt on the 14th. I wonder where your refined salt came from?"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin found himself a little nervous.

Although he knows that he shouldn't place his hopes on his teenage son now, he has been really poor and crazy recently, so he can only look at it.

I hope this son who has created miracles again and again can give him some surprises.

And there seems to be nothing wrong with his expectations.

"The refined salt is refined by Erchen himself."

"Refined salt can be obtained by refining coarse salt, but the steps are a bit more complicated."

Li Ming did not hide Li Shimin's inquiry and explained it directly.

This explanation made Li Shimin tremble.

"Fourteen, are you saying that you can extract refined salt from coarse salt?"

Open your mouth with an unexpected surprise.

Li Ming's words are very simple, but for Li Shimin they are not simple.

The value of coarse salt is only 200 guan per dou, and the value of refined salt is at least 200 guan per dou. How big is the difference between them.

At this moment, his lips became a little dry, and his eyes shone a little at this moment.

He originally thought that Li Ming just got some refined salt by accident and came here just to try his luck, but he didn't expect that there was an unexpected surprise.

"Yes, it is not difficult to extract refined salt from coarse salt, but today's coarse salt has too many impurities and is not even considered salt. Is this the case with my Datang salt?"

Li Ming couldn't help but complain.

After extracting coarse salt, he realized how exaggerated coarse salt is today.

Well, that's not even salt, it can only be regarded as salty corpses, or sand and gravel. From one hundred kilograms of coarse salt, he was able to extract twenty kilograms of refined salt, and even when he was lucky,

Under normal circumstances, it's good if it weighs about fifteen pounds, which is just a shame.

But it's obvious that Li Shimin didn't care about Li Ming's complaints at all.

At this moment, the only thing in his mind was that Li Ming could extract refined salt from coarse salt.

The figure stood up, and Li Shimin looked directly at Li Ming.

When Li Ming was looking at his hair, his words were filled with anxiety, nervousness and embarrassment.

"Fourteen, if my father hands you all the salt from the Salt and Iron Department, can you increase the revenue of the treasury this year by 5 million guan, not 1 million guan?"

As soon as the voice came out, Li Shimin's heart was in his throat at this moment.

"One million strings?"

"Salt and Iron Division?"

"This shouldn't work!!"

Li Ming was a little stunned, but faced Li Shimin's words, he still shook his head.

As mentioned before, making refined salt from coarse salt cannot continue forever.

Problems will inevitably occur over time.

Not to mention, if all the salt from the Salt and Iron Department is given to him, the people will not be able to eat the salt.

"Father, the salt from the Salt and Iron Department is very affordable and cannot be touched lightly. If my father needs a large amount of refined salt, he can go to seawater to make it. I believe it will be more than a million pounds a year. If I go there, it will even be enough to guarantee a lifetime."

At least tens of millions of dollars per year."

After the figure shook his head, Li Ming immediately added something again.

The salt in the Salt and Iron Division cannot be touched casually, but there is a lot of salt in the sea water. Millions or tens of millions of dollars can be obtained.

It’s just that his words have just left his mouth.
