Signing in Datang: Li Shimin was shocked by the start

Chapter 209 Tell The Whole [2 More]

Chapter 209 Telling the whole story [Second update]

Suning confided all his thoughts, after all, Suning still didn't have too many thoughts about this matter.

This is a problem, Li Shimin has not thought of it.

If the cost is added to the salt merchants, they will inevitably reduce the cost.

If there is no profit at that time, they will definitely not come to contract salt mines, salt fields and salt wells.

Even if it is a contract, it will be as Changsun Wuji said.

Reduce costs and reduce the quality of salt.

At that time, in order to reduce costs, the salt will not be purified properly.

What to do if people have problems after eating, this is a big problem.

So he looked at Suning, "General Su, what Changsun Wuji said is a big problem, how do you solve this problem?"

"Your Majesty." Suning had thought of this question a long time ago, "I have thought about this question too."

He thought about this issue when he proposed privatization, allowing salt merchants to contract salt mines, salt wells, and salt fields.

And this problem is also very easy to solve, that is to increase the functional departments in the court.

So he looked at Li Shimin, "With the Price Bureau to supervise the price, naturally there must be a quality department to supervise the quality of food.

So, I propose to set up a food safety department, not only to regulate salt but also to regulate other videos along the way. "

"You said you want the imperial court to control the quality of salt?"

"That's right, as I said just now, the function of this department is not only to supervise the quality of salt, but also the quality of other food products in the market

Judging from the current development of Datang, this department will be established sooner or later! "

"I see."

Li Shimin was thoughtful, but he also thought of other questions, "Then such strict supervision will definitely reduce the profits of salt merchants. What should I do?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I did the math just now, no matter how high the cost is or how low the level is, the salt merchants will still make money.

As long as there is enough salt produced in that salt mine, or the salt well and salt field, the salt merchants can make small profits but sell more.

Not only that, as far as I know, Datang's current salt mines, salt wells and salt fields are all very high in output.

Of course, it does not rule out the phenomenon of losing money. After all, there may not be a lot of salt in each salt field, salt well, and salt mine.

But these are the responsibility of the salt merchants themselves, after all, if the business is profitable, there will be losses. "

"You are right. The cost of salt mines is very low from mining to purification to sales.

Moreover, salt is still a necessity, so naturally there is no need to worry about sales. Even if they don't make much money, salt merchants will definitely not lose money. "

Hearing Suning's explanation, Li Shimin suddenly became enlightened.

As expected of being the number one think tank in the Tang Dynasty, he solved the conflict between the two factions so simply.

So he looked at Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, "What do you two think?"

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Although this method privatizes salt, the treasury will never be affected.

Even management costs have dropped a lot, which is a good idea.

Not only that, but Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were also restricted.

It can be said that killing two birds with one stone, so he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, I agree with General Su's proposal."

Du Ruhui also nodded, "Your Majesty, I also agree."

This time, it made Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling a little uncomfortable.

Originally they insisted on privatization, but now they have become passive.

If he opposes privatization now, Li Shimin will definitely lose his temper.

The two could only bite the bullet and agree, "If that's the case, then so be it!"

Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Shimin smiled from ear to ear.

"Okay, okay, if that's the case, let's all go back, and immediately plan the privatization of salt."

Privatization is a long road, and it will definitely not be solved for a while.

So this road still has a long way to go, and there will be no rush for a while.

Just when Suning was about to leave, Li Shimin stopped him.

"Wait for Suning!" Li Shimin stopped him, "I didn't call you here today to discuss about salt, but to let you help me think of something to do."

"pastime?"

"That's right, the queen's birthday will be in two days. In the past, everyone would eat, drink, and watch singing and dancing. This year, I want to come up with some new tricks. Let's see if you have any good ideas."

Suning pondered for a while, and said that the entertainment of Tang Dynasty is indeed not as good as that of later generations.

In any case, even watching TV in future generations is more interesting than any pastime in Datang.

But now there is definitely no TV to watch, and technology is limited.

How do you spend your time?

He knew what Li Shimin was thinking, and he definitely wanted to help him think of a way for everyone to have fun together.

At that time, the ministers, emperors and queens will gather together and have fun together.

But what kind of entertainment can satisfy everyone's needs at the same time?

Do you mean disco?

Isn't this a joke, how do you play disco in this era?

Seeing that Suning was silent, Li Shimin became a little anxious.

"What's the matter, is there no way for everyone to have fun together?"

"It's not impossible." Suning looked at Li Shimin, "But it must be unexpected now."

"That's fine." Li Shimin thought about the time, "There are still two days until the queen's birthday, so think about it carefully in these two days."

"Yes!"

"By the way, Su Ning." Li Shimin suddenly thought of something, "The empress values ​​you very much, don't let her down on her birthday this time."

"clear."

After Suning said goodbye to Li Shimin and returned to Li Mansion, she saw Fang Tingting staring blankly at the birds on a big tree in the courtyard.

He walked over and patted Fang Tingting, "What do you think?"

Fang Tingting looked back, looking a little bored.

"It's nothing, it's just boring."

"boring?"

Su Ning was surprised, thinking about it too.

In this era of lack of entertainment, it is very easy to get bored.

Thinking of the queen's birthday, the ministers would be bored watching the singing and dancing, eating and drinking.

There is indeed something wrong, it seems that we really have to think of a way for everyone to have fun.

At this time, he saw a fallen leaf floating down from the tree and falling to the ground.

Suddenly this fallen leaf gave him inspiration, and he knew something that could entertain everyone.

So I called Fang Tingting, "Do you want to play something fun?"

"Fun?" Fang Tingting looked him up and down, "What's fun?"

"I'll go get ready and take you to play."

Hearing about playing, Fang Tingting became interested.

Seeing this fallen leaf, Suning remembered the cards of later generations, and playing cards is a good way of pastime.

But making tiles is a troublesome problem. After all, unlike mahjong, tiles can be carved from wood or ivory.

Cards need to be made of relatively hard paper, but it is definitely too late to make mahjong now.

Moreover, I am not familiar with mahjong enough, so the making of tiles is troublesome, but it can be mass-produced in a short time.

So now I can only use cards as a pastime for life.

Li Shimin was extremely shocked, "Okay, that's great, Suning thought it was too simple to do this, but it's still a good idea!"
