"Yan Lin, can you still take it?" Li Niannian naturally heard the discussions of the people on the street.
Although she was shy, since she had already decided to let her mother give up, she couldn't care about anything else.
Moreover, Yan Lin only hugged his waist and did not move at all.
This made Li Niannian's impression of Yan Lin rise. He secretly thought that Yan Lin was a gentleman.
" I'm fine. It's just that Miss Niannian, you…" Yan Lin was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to continue.
"It's fine. The Great Tang is not like the previous dynasty. Your body is weak, so I can send you on your way.”Li Niannian said lightly, but a blush appeared on his neck.
Under the watchful eyes of the commoners, the two of them rode out of the city.
"Young Master, what are you doing?" The stall owner was waiting anxiously, thinking that Yan Lin felt that 90 wen was too expensive.
Who would have thought that not only did Yan Lin come, but he also rode a horse with a fairy-like woman.
"You lead the way, don't ask anything else.”Yan Lin said indifferently.
"Yes, yes, yes. Young Master, please follow me.”The stall owner hurriedly said.
After leaving the city, they went down the official road and walked along the small road for quite a while.
Finally, the three of them arrived at the entrance of a mine that had been dug open.
The mine was covered by weeds, leaving only a gap for one person to pass through.
"Young Master, please come with me." The stall owner said with a smile.
He had discovered the things inside by chance.
Other than him, no one else knew.
The few of them entered and lit up the path ahead.
"Young Master, we have arrived." The stall owner pointed at the cave wall in front of him and said to Yan Lin.
Yan Lin looked in the direction he pointed and saw that the wall was filled with white crystals.
There were countless of them, big and small.
There seemed to be even more jingshi in the depths.
"Young Master, I'm not lying. There's really a lot of saltpeter.”The stall owner said with a smile. He rubbed his hands, wanting to ask Yan Lin for benefits.
"Very good. This is 90 wen. I'll give it to you.”Yan Lin nodded in satisfaction. He took out a money bag and threw it to the stall owner.
He had brought this back from the tavern.
Although the tavern didn't make much money, it was still worth 90 Wen Yan Lin.
"Thank you, Young Master. Then I will take my leave first.”The stall owner took the money, his face filled with a fawning smile.
He cupped his hands at Yan Lin and left in satisfaction.
It was originally just an accidental discovery, but he had earned 90 wen. The stall owner felt that he was very lucky.
He secretly thought that Yan Lin was a fool. He actually spent 90 wen to buy such information.
"Young Master Yan…"
"Just call me Yan Lin." Yan Lin waved his hand and squatted down to look at the saltpeter on the wall.
"Yan Lin, isn't this saltpeter? Other than having some medicinal uses, these things are just ordinary stones.”
"This money of yours is really wasted. I'll go and get back that 90 wen from you.”Li Niannian pulled out his sword and walked out.
He wanted to stop the stall owner who had just left.
"Miss Niannian, there's no need at all. With these things, I can earn them back a thousand times or even ten thousand times.”Yan Lin said without raising his head.
He held a fist-sized crystal in his hand and observed it carefully.
" Yan Lin, you…" Li Niannian was about to ask if Yan Lin was crazy.
But thinking about it, he still felt that it was not appropriate for him to say such a thing. However, a trace of worry appeared on his face. Yan Lin didn't hear Li Niannian at all.
At this moment, his mind was filled with the idea of using these saltpeter to make money.
Yan Lin thought that if the saltpeter ice-making method was announced, the price of saltpeter would definitely soar.
When he had such a big saltpeter mine, he would make a lot of money.
Yan Lin didn't want to keep the saltpeter ice-making technique. He only wanted to earn saltpeter money.
According to the current market price of two copper coins per 500 grams of saltpeter, it could definitely be sold for 20 copper coins per 500 grams.
Just thinking about it made Yan Lin feel excited.
However, mining still required the approval of the government.
Yan Lin immediately thought of Foreman Li. If he could get a share of the profits, it would be much easier.
However, he suddenly realized that he had not asked Foreman Li where they lived for so long.
She did not know where to find him.
Yan Lin sighed and slowly stood up.
"Miss Niannian, let's go back.”Yan Lin and Li Niannian said.
……
Imperial Palace, Taiji Palace.
"Did Your Majesty just say that you want to raise pigs in the palace?”The Minister of Revenue, Li Xiaogong, looked at Li Shiming in surprise. He couldn't believe his ears.
Li Xiaogong was wondering if the Emperor had suffered some kind of stimulation and actually wanted to raise pigs in the palace.
Except for some poor people, who else would eat pork these days?
"Your Majesty, why do you want to raise pigs? The pork in the East Market can't be sold at all.”
"If we were to raise pigs, we would definitely be wasting our money.”
"Your Majesty, please consider it. This pig cannot be raised lightly. Otherwise, it will bring endless disaster.”
Li Xiaogong had just finished speaking when the officials spoke up one after another.
They were all stunned.
For no reason at all, His Majesty actually wanted to raise pigs in the palace.
"Zhen has already decided on this matter.”Li Shi Min waved his hand and said firmly.
"But Your Majesty…"
"We have already said that we would not consider the salt and iron official camp. However, the national treasury is getting empty day by day and the war on the front lines is tense.”
"Zhen has already found a way to get rid of the strange smell of pork. In the future, the pork we eat will taste much better than mutton.”Li Shi Min slowly explained to the ministers.
Zhangsun Wuji had eaten pork without a strange smell at Yan Lin's place before, so he must have guessed that this method was handed over to him.
Therefore, Li Shimin did not say that this method was taught by an expert.
Otherwise, Zhangsun Wuji would have guessed it.
This would not benefit Yan Lin at all.
Li Shiming had eaten pork in Yan Lin's tavern so many times.
No matter what dish it was, as long as it was a dish with pork, Li Shiming felt that it was incomparably delicious.
Such delicious pork had actually been abandoned by them previously.
Guarding a treasure house but unable to find the key to open the door.
Li Shi Min sighed inwardly. If he had known this method earlier, how could the treasury of the Great Tang be empty?
Now, no one wanted pork for a single cent.
However, if the pork did not have a strange smell, the price would definitely rise.
At that time, even if they sold it for four coins per catty, there would still be a lot of people who would buy it.
How could the national treasury's income not increase?
