Zhangsun Wuji was extremely shocked. Was this Li You really only fourteen years old?
Could a fourteen-year-old child come up with such a vicious scheme?
The rhythm was clear. He gave benefits to lure the aristocratic families into the trap. Step by step, he followed his own ideas and made the aristocratic families fall into the trap.
If Zhangsun Wuji was only afraid of Li You's talent before, he would have surpassed Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
Now, Zhangsun Wuji was truly afraid of Li You's schemes.
Li Tai and Li Chengqian definitely couldn't compare to this method of taking one step at a time.
"Haha, good plan. This Old Cheng is convinced for the first time. His Highness King Qi is truly impressive, much better than us and those six idiots.”Cheng Zhijie smiled." Later, I'll ask King Qi to help me train those six brats. I don't expect them to have any great achievements. It's fine as long as they can meet people."”
"Haha, Old Cheng, you're really smart. You finished all the paintings I wanted to say so quickly.”Yuchi Gong's face darkened as he tried his best to put on a friendly expression.""Our Bao Lin and Bao Yi are both good kids and smart. They're much better than Old Cheng's six rascals. The more you get close to them, the less you play with fools. IQ is easily contagious.”
"Hey, Old Hei, how dare you say that. You're looking for a beating.”Cheng Zhijie wasn't a fool. He was clearly scolding his son for having a low IQ. How could he tolerate this? He was about to make a move.
"Who's afraid of who? I'll beat you up today and make you cry for your parents.”Yuchi Gong sneered and punched Cheng Zhijie in the face. Cheng Zhijie was so angry that he shouted and rushed to fight Yuchi Gong.
The other generals were also cheering and cheering, and even Li Yuan was in high spirits. He was drinking and watching the battle, extremely excited.
Li You was speechless. What kind of person was this? Did he have any sense of propriety?
"King Qi, if you have nothing better to do, come and sit at home. Our family has a good upbringing, unlike these two old hooligans.”While everyone was in a mess, Li Ji quietly walked up to Li You and said, but the Black Knight was heard.
In the end, Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Gong stopped and beat up Li Ji alone.
Everyone burst into laughter, and it was a complete mess.
After the banquet, Li Shimin sent someone to learn the method of refining salt from Li You the next day.
Li You did not hold back at all as he explained the sequence of this technique, the things to take note of, and everything. After confirming that the experiment was successful, he let the person go back.
After five days of hard work, these people passed on their techniques to even more full-time personnel of the imperial court. With a complete reserve, a thousand people actually produced a total of 150,000 catties of refined salt.
Li Shimin was overjoyed and immediately ordered the establishment of the Salt Making Department, which was in charge of salt production. Ma Zhou would be in charge of everything.
Then, according to Li You's method, Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were in charge of contacting the people of the five surnames and the Seven Wangs to discuss the sale of refined salt.
Originally, the five surnames and seven Wangs were not interested in this kind of thing, especially the aristocratic families in the coastal cities. They looked down on the imperial court.
It was simply impossible. However, when they received the sample from the imperial court, the crystal was transparent, like snow-white salt grains. This group of country bumpkins immediately marveled. After tasting it again, they went completely crazy.
As a result, the representatives of the five surnames and seven surnames set off from their respective families to Chang 'an to fight for a share of refined salt.
At this moment, Li You, the one who started this, brought his future wife, Wei Qingqing, into the palace to meet his mother, Concubine Yin.
Concubine Yin was extremely satisfied with her future daughter-in-law. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had a dignified manner and answered appropriately. One look and she could tell that she was a well-trained daughter of a noble family. She was 100 percent in favor of her son being the princess consort.
"Empress, you misunderstood." Wei Qingqing blushed and said shyly,""It's just that although there was a marriage agreement previously, Qingqing's etiquette was incomplete and she couldn't get married, so she didn't dare to come and pay her respects to the Empress. She was afraid that she would lose her etiquette and be punished by the Empress, so it was delayed until today. The Empress was a monster. It was Qingqing's fault for being stupid. It took her so long to learn etiquette and come to pay her respects to the Empress.”
"Haha, you little girl, you really know how to talk.”Concubine Yin smiled and said," If I punish you, you'll be worried about me. Alright, sit down and have some tea. Let's chat about some small things. I like to chat with a child like you who knows what's good for you. I'm happy."”
Li You, who was standing at the side, completely understood the meaning of the saying,"When you have a daughter-in-law, your son will be left alone."
Consort Mother, I came here with Wei Qingqing, but after I came in, I made her drink her tea and eat her snacks. Even when I was sitting, she made me sit by the side while the two of you sat next to each other.
"Qingqing, you have to keep a close eye on You 'er in the future. He's a troublemaker. Who knows what trouble he might cause?”Concubine Yin glanced at her, then smiled at Wei Qingqing and said,""If she doesn't listen to you, then come find bengong and I'll help you deal with her!”
Dear mother, you're forcing your son to death.
Even if you like your daughter-in-law, you can't risk your life to have your own son out!
"Your Majesty, you've misunderstood. King Qi truly is very capable.”Wei Qingqing hurriedly said," Not only are you good at painting and calligraphy, but you're also excellent at composing poems, lyrics, and music. What's rare is that you can even give advice to the country." His father had said that if King Qi trained well, he would be more than capable of ruling the world.”
"Uh, forget about that." Before Concubine Yin could say anything, Li You could not take it anymore and said with a smile,""I just need to pay my salary on time every month, then travel around, eat, drink, and have fun until I die of old age. Zai Zhi Tian is such a troublesome matter, it's better to leave it to someone else. I think your brother is not bad.”
"Unfilial son, do you want to anger me to death?!" Li Shi Min suddenly roared.
