Chapter 301: Ink has a skill
.lā”
Li Shimin couldn't help but breathe sluggishly, the ordinary horses in Datang are about twenty times, good horses are more expensive, and the price of cattle is slightly lower, but it is not much lower.
100,000 cattle and horses are nearly 200,000 yuan, and they are available every year, which is a lot of wealth, and Li Shimin can't help but be moved.
And more importantly, Datang has its own horse breeding ground, Qinghai horse is a good horse, tall, and the weight is amazing, and good at long-distance running, it is the best choice for cavalry, Datang soldiers weapons and equipment, training quality, has always been first-class, in the face of the grassland departments passive, the most important thing is that Datang's horses are uneven, if they can occupy the land of Qinghai, Datang will make up for the last shortcoming.
"Yes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and from now on, the military will no longer have to worry about the shortage of horses." The militant Cheng Biting Jin immediately shouted excitedly.
"Qinghai horses are indeed the best choice for cavalry." Li Jing also nodded.
All of a sudden, the generals of the military department also nodded one after another, and even if Hou Junji opposed Merton again, he had to admit that occupying the land of Qinghai was very important to the Tang Dynasty, and the military department turned against him instantly.
Li Shimin's eyes when he looked at Merton no longer had the urge to break his leg, but there was an urge for his mother-in-law to like her son-in-law more and more.
Merton said: "Third, it is because of the Qinghai Salt Lake. ”
"Qinghai Salt Lake?"
The courtiers were puzzled, of course they knew about the Qinghai Salt Lake, the lake salt is also known as the pond salt, but the salt there is neither edible nor drinkable for irrigation, so it is useless at all.
Merton said proudly: "Mo has a skill, can purify the lake salt into salt, Qinghai Lake is boundless, everywhere lake salt, like sediment as common, just one Qinghai Lake salt is enough for Datang to eat for 10,000 years, Datang gets Qinghai Lake, from then on, Datang no longer has to worry about lack of salt." ”
As soon as Merton's words fell, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were in an uproar, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Ling Hu Dedi was even more excited: "Is this serious? ”
Don't talk about other places in Datang, but the land of Guanzhong is an abnormal lack of salt, especially the land of Longyou, which is far away from the salt-producing area, if you can extract salt from Qinghai Lake, it will be a great blessing for the land of Longyou.
Merton smiled and said, "Do you know that the Mo family's snow salt is successfully refined with this technique!" ”
Ling Hu Dedi frowned and said, "I heard that the Mo family's snow salt is extracted from coarse salt?" ”
"That was the original method of this technique, and after the unremitting efforts of the Mo family, this technique can now directly refine lake salt into Mo snow salt." Merton said proudly.
"Lake salt makes snow salt?"
Many courtiers couldn't help but grow their mouths....
"Since it is lake salt, it is also salt, and the reason why it cannot be eaten is also because there are other bitter things in these salts, and this technique is to refine these bitter things to obtain edible salt.
Li Shimin couldn't help jumping up, in this way, isn't it that the salt of the entire Qinghai Lake can be eaten after refining the ink technique, so it seems that the value of a Qinghai Lake alone is simply immeasurable.
Chongchen was happy in his heart, the Mo family's snow salt has recently swept Chang'an City, it is the first-class fine salt in Chang'an City, everyone knows that the Mo family has this ink skill, but they didn't expect that this skill has such great value.
"Salt is the foundation of the country and a daily necessity for the people, but the price of salt is too high, and the people are miserable." Merton couldn't help but glance at Wang Yushi as he spoke, everyone knew that most of the salt in Yuncheng was controlled by the Taiyuan royal family, and the price of salt was too high, and the Wang family was especially responsible for it.
"If you use this technique to make salt, then the salt production will definitely increase dramatically, and it is all first-class high-quality snow salt, and the increase in salt production will definitely make the price of salt drop significantly, and even a penny and a pound is not impossible, and even ordinary people can enjoy it openly."
"A penny and a pound of salt!" Wang Yushi was dumbfounded, the biggest source of wealth of the Taiyuan royal family is from selling salt, if the Mo family's snow salt can be sold for a penny and a catty, I am afraid that the Taiyuan royal family salt may not even be able to be sold, and the entire Taiyuan royal family will lose the biggest source of wealth.
Everyone couldn't help frowning, if this is the case, I'm afraid that the Mo family with ink skills will not control the salt of the Tang Dynasty.
Merton had already expected this situation, and said unhurriedly: "This ink technique is related to the welfare of the people in the world. The Mo family did not dare to hide this skill privately, and was willing to dedicate it to the imperial court. ”
"To the Imperial Court!" Hou Junji's heart suddenly dripped blood, the Mo family is really a loser, doesn't he know how much profit there is, if it is handed over to him Hou Junji, then he is looking for a few families to partner with, and firmly control his interests in his own hands, even the emperor can't snatch it.
However, Li Shimin understood the intention of Merton's move, and couldn't help but secretly scold Merton, this kid is cunning, the nature of the catfish is exposed, slippery, and full of sharp teeth, and the bite is painful, and this time it hurts the Taiyuan Wang family.
As soon as this method of salt production comes out, it will inevitably offend the Taiyuan royal family who takes salt as its lifeblood, and the Mo family obviously does not want to carry this behemoth, and wants to retaliate against the Taiyuan royal family for repeatedly targeting the Mo family, so they simply dedicated it to the imperial court, and let the imperial court come forward to face the Taiyuan royal family.
"Mo Aiqing is dedicated to the country, and I thank you for the people of the world." Li Shimin said solemnly.
Li Shimin and Baiguan knew that this was the Mo family's conspiracy, but they had to pinch their noses and admit it, after all, the interests in it were too great.
With this ink skill alone, even if there was no incident of Tuyuhun committing the border, Li Shimin still had the urge to attack Tuyuhun and take Qinghai Lake.
"Ink Technique!"
Many courtiers couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the Mo family's ink technique once again shocked the entire court, a simple ink technique can solve the history of salt shortage in the northwest and even the entire Tang Dynasty.
And they just thought about using the ink technique of the Mo family in exchange for the support of Tubo, now it seems, how short-sighted, everyone can't help but think of what Mo Dun just said, you don't understand how powerful the ink technique is, and now Mo Dun used the iron-like fact to show them the powerful power of the ink technique.
However, it was not over, and Merton continued: "In addition to this time, among the extractions of lake salt, the Mo family has discovered fertilizers that can make grain yields high, and if it can be refined, the grain output will definitely be doubled again, reaching more than eight quintals per mu." ”
"Eight Dan!" Linghu Dedi's heart trembled, and he looked at Merton in disbelief.
Linghu family is also one of the Guanlong family, the governance of the Yellow River is imminent, the situation faced by the entire Guanlong family is very embarrassing, the reclamation of wasteland is limited, the only hope is to increase the yield per mu, the Mojia experimental field method can double the grain production, has made the Guanlong family close.
No one thought that the Mo family would have such ink skills, but the yield per mu was eight quintals, which was an output that he never dared to imagine.
Mo Dun nodded and said: "This ink technique has been successfully tested in the Mo family, and some of it has been extracted from the salt of Yuncheng Pond, and the specific effect is probably waiting until next year's autumn harvest, but Mo is waiting for you in the Mo family's test field, but the kid can guarantee that the output is only a lot more." ”
"We'll go now." A group of officials from the Guan Long family said excitedly.
The Guanlong family occupies most of the court, with their support, coupled with the support of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Sinong Temple, they have supported the attack on Tuyuhun, and the entire court, and even the six departments of the three provinces all support the attack on Tuyuhun,,
Originally, Datang just wanted to fight back and teach Tuyuhun a lesson, but it turned into a war to destroy the country, and all these changes were all up to Merton's own strength.
It stands to reason that the first time Merton and the Tuyuhun envoy met, but Merton killed him, was it really not because of Princess Changle, in addition, the important minister really couldn't think of any other reason.
and then contacted Merton's dedication to ink skills, there was really a hint of the meaning of giving a dowry, and all the ministers were in a hurry for a while.
