Chang'an, imperial city, Tai Chi Palace, Lizheng Hall.

The Daming Palace, one of the three major palace groups, has not been built yet. At this time, the Tang Dynasty still used the palaces of the former Sui Dynasty.

The new emperor Li Shimin knelt on his head, holding a piece of white paper in his hand.

In front of him, Wei Heizi looked at his eyes and his nose and his heart.

Li Shimin waved the white paper in his hand and said, "That is what the child gave to you, why did he offer it to me?"

Wei Zheng nodded slightly: "The method of making ice is just like Er'er. Xi Erlang also saw through the simplicity of this prescription, so he was fortunate to make a favor. What he wanted was a guarantee. My Wei Mansion could not give it to him. All in the world, the only thing he could give was Your Majesty."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Wei Zheng opened his eyes and looked at the eunuch standing next to him.

The eunuch looked at Li Shimin and saw him nodding. He walked to the side hall. When he came back, he carried some tableware and several small plates filled with kimchi produced in Xiagou Village.

Wei Zheng looked at the plate of green vinegar celery on it, swallowed unconsciously, and said, "Your Majesty will know after you eat it."

Li Shimin frowned and glanced at the kimchi on the plate: "That's it?"

"Your Majesty will know after you eat it." Wei Zheng repeated it.

Li Shimin reluctantly picked up the chopsticks. If this thing was not for the lack of fresh vegetables in winter, he would have basically not eaten.

Picking up a piece of sour lotus root slices, this is the best one he thinks.

Crack ~

"Um?"

Li Shimin chewed it carefully for a few bites, and came to his senses and found that a piece of lotus root slice had been eaten by himself. It tasted...

He looked up and looked at Wei Zheng awkwardly, and continued to pick up a piece of spicy radish.

"Yeah...Kache...Kache...Kache...Kache......"×32

In the huge Lizheng Hall, there was only the crisp sound of Li Shimin eating kimchi.

After a few plates of kimchi were finished, Li Shimin was still unconscious. Wei Zheng looked up at the dishes on the plate, thinking that it was a good thing that the candy garlic was not brought, otherwise he would not know what it would turn out.

"Can you know how much the profit of this kimchi?" Li Shimin put down his chopsticks and asked casually.

Wei Zheng shook his head: "I don't know the details. However, the same can of kimchi is sold for fifty cents in the market in winter, while the Xijia Erlang only sells for thirty cents."

"Oh? That's not a loss?" Li Shimin unconsciously glanced at the bookcase.

Wei Zheng knew that the bookcase in Lizheng Hall had a secret, but he didn't care. He then said, "It's not a loss. The Erlang of Xi's family promised to give 30% of the profit, which is obviously profitable."

"Terrible profits of 30%? How much inventory does he have?" Li Shimin was moved.

Wei Zhengying said: "There are always tens of thousands of cans."

"A can of thirty cents, and a can of thirty cents will make a profit of ten cents. A can of ten cents will make a profit of ten cents. A thousand cans will make a hundred thousand cents, which is not a lot."

Li Shimin muttered and thoughtfully.

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is right, but it is not right."

"Oh? What else is there?"

Wei Zheng thought about what Manager Wei said and said, "This kimchi shop not only produces these vegetables, but also has a snack called sugar garlic, which is very delicious."

"Can sugar garlic? Can it be brought?" Li Shimin sucked his saliva.

Wei Zheng shook his head awkwardly: "But I didn't bring it, and the mansion was gone."

"Okay, except sugar garlic?"

"In addition to sugar garlic, there are also dried fish. I heard that there are all kinds of flavors. I have eaten several kinds of potted food, which is said to be a rare delicacy."

"Dried fish? Salted fish... Isn't it very common?" Li Shimin remembered the salty dried fish with a very bad voice, which was hard to eat.

"Different." Wei Zheng had never eaten dried fish in Xiagou Village, so he could only try to describe it as much as possible according to Manager Wei's description: "There are seven or eight kinds of [spicy dried fish], [spicy dried fish], [spicy dried fish], [spicy dried fish], [smoked dried fish] and so on. Each one has different tastes. Some are suitable for rice, some are suitable for wine, and some are suitable for adding freshness to broth."

"And there is such dried fish?" Li Shimin didn't believe it.

"That's right, Xijia Erro calls it [seasoned dried fish]."

When Li Shimin heard the word "seasoning", he reached out and dipped his little finger in a little soup in the plate, put it in his mouth and licked it, which made him feel aftertaste.

"So, please let someone inform you, and the transaction will be placed in the East Palace. As for the 30% profit, forget it and just replace it with this kimchi and put it in the palace. If the child likes to do some business, let him do it at will. However, the commercial tax is paid to avoid quarrels."

"Here."

"As for this method of making ice," Li Shimin picked up the white paper again and shook his head: "It's already autumn now. If this method of making ice appears two months ago, it might be useful to me."

Wei Zheng looked up at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, the heat in the Lingnan area and Jiangnan area is still not over yet."

"You mean?" Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that the border of the Tang Dynasty was more than just Guanzhong. It is said that even in the late winter and late autumn, there were still people in Lingnan who were still crossing the river to play.

"Your Majesty has just won the ceremony. This method of making ice is a blessing from heaven. Otherwise, the saltpeter had been used as medicine in the morning, so why did no one find that it could make ice? Lingnan and Jiangnan are all remote places. If you can feel the emperor's grace through this, I think it would be good news for Your Majesty."

"Shan, this is a great act, Xuancheng, Xuancheng, you have such a great talent, but it is a pity that you used it to discard my brothers."

Wei Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at Li Shimin with a teasing expression. He was successful and defeated. Now he changed his master and was still ridiculed by the new master?

Wei Zheng smiled casually: "If the former prince did what I said, there would be no disaster today."

“Bold!”

Li Shimin slapped the table and the bowls and plates on the table fell to the ground.

Who knew that Wei Zheng was not only not afraid, but also looked at Li Shimin.

One lord and one minister looked at each other in this way.

But Li Shimin was first relieved. Now it was the time to use people. In order not to let the aristocratic family dominate, he had to win over some capable people for his own use.

"Hmph, I'm worthy of being Wei Heizi, I'm afraid of you." Li Shimin sat down again, pushed the scattered dishes aside, and said, "How are the marriage between Yuangui and Ling Ai?"

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern. Although it was delayed for two months, everything is still safe now."

Li Shimin nodded. The fourteenth prince Li Yuangui has now become the fourteenth prince. The marriage was originally given by the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan and facilitated by the former crown prince Li Jiancheng, but he didn't have to say much, anyway, Wei Zheng is now used by him.

"Remember to send me an invitation. Guanyin maid has been busy with all the things in the harem these days, and also mentioned Yuangui's marriage, and will go with me at that time."

"Uh." Wei Zheng was stunned. He had just shrugged Li Shimin and now he said he was coming to attend his daughter's wedding. This was a huge radish: "My memory, I am extremely honored."

"Well, if there is nothing to do, let's step down first."

"I'm going to leave."

······

······

The Lizheng Hall is quiet and silent.

Until Wei Zheng left for a stick of incense, Li Shimin picked up the white paper on the table: "Kaishan, you kid gave me a big gift."

“·······”

"Do you think I will give him a county man, or will I directly grant him a founding county duke according to your merits?"

“·······”

Seeing that no one was talking, Li Shimin frowned slightly: "What do you mean is not rewarding? But if you don't reward anything, I always feel that I owe this child, and I feel embarrassed to ask him for a prescription when I look back."

As soon as the words were finished, a hoarse male voice came from the bookcase.

"Your Majesty only needs to regard him as an ordinary citizen, and do not have to think of his humble ministers."

"Oh?!" Li Shimin knocked on the table: "It's interesting. I can understand that if you don't let your Dalang join the army, Erlang is not inferior to Cangjie now, so you will just bury it?"

“·······”
