"Girl, you can taste it."
Zhou Yu saw all of Li Lizhi's reactions.
But he didn't explain, instead he made a gesture of invitation.
For many things, no matter how many words you say, it is better than trying it yourself.
"Xiao Neng-jun, what do you want?"
As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, Li Lizhi hadn't responded yet, and the little girl who was staring at the TV came over anxiously.
His foodie nature is fully exposed.
Seeing the little kid reaching out to grab the salt from the dish, Zhou Yu quickly stopped him, "Sizi, this is salt. It will be very salty if you eat it directly."
Unfortunately, just as he said that, the little kid had already put his hand into his mouth.
The next moment, the pink little face turned bitter melon color.
"Puff~Puff~Puff~So salty~"
Although the little kid was trying his best to spit out the salt, the salt melted in his mouth, so how much could he spit out?
For a moment, Zhou Yu and Li Lizhi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Come on, rinse your mouth with water, and remember not to swallow it."
Zhou Yu handed over a glass of water, and the little kid took it and took a big gulp.
Just as Zhou Yu was waiting for her to spit it out, the little girl grinned, then said with embarrassment: "Swallow it~"
Seeing her adorable look, Zhou Yu couldn't help but rub her little head.
"This salt is as crystal clear as snow. It tastes salty without any bitterness. It is truly top-quality."
With the little milk ball taking the lead, Li Lizhi also picked up some and put it in her mouth.
In just a moment, her eyes lit up.
As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, Li Lizhi naturally knew the importance of salt.
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people, and taste is the most important thing for food.
And this taste refers to salt.
To put it simply, salt is related to whether people can eat well.
Generally speaking, salt has a great relationship with the stability of a country.
Since Guan Zhong implemented the "official mountains and seas" policy, salt has basically become a tool for the country to pursue huge profits and increase fiscal revenue.
This not only controls the supply from the source and ensures national stability, but also increases court revenue and fills the treasury.
"Salt is just one of the things I have here. You guys in the Tang Dynasty don't have many things here, like this glass."
Seeing that Li Lizhi looked thoughtful, Zhou Yu continued to increase his bet.
Hearing this, Li Lizhi finally couldn't help but ask, "I wonder what the Immortal wants?"
"What I want is actually very simple. I want Li Tai to be the King of Wei and stop thinking about those unnecessary things."
Zhou Yu spoke very casually, but Li Lizhi could hear the determination in his tone.
Thinking that everything Zhou Yu did was for the little girl Sizi, she suddenly felt endless envy in her heart.
After a moment, she solemnly assured, "Don't worry, Immortal Master. I will report this to Aye after I return."
"No, you don't understand me."
After hearing Li Lizhi's assurance, Zhou Yu simply shook his head.
Li Lizhi felt uneasy when she heard this.
Could it be that the Immortal has other conditions?
Or... is he interested in me?
The immortal not only has extraordinary abilities, but is also handsome. It is a good match for him to be with him.
But...but I've already been betrothed to my cousin, what should I do?
As she thought about it, Li Lizhi lowered her head with a blushing face.
This made Zhou Yu, who was waiting for him to be the supporting actor, stand there in confusion.
After a long while, Zhou Yu coughed lightly and continued, "For the time being, this matter will not be handled by your father or the court. It will be handled by you and the crown prince together."
“Without going through Aye?”
Hearing Zhou Yu say this, Li Lizhi, who was originally shy, suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief.
The Tang Dynasty inherited the old system of the Sui Dynasty and neither established a salt supervisor nor imposed a special salt tax.
Nowadays, most of these businesses are in the hands of aristocratic families.
Even though he and the prince had superior status, it was not easy to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
"Yes, I won't go through your father in the early stage."
Zhou Yu ignored Li Lizhi's shock and nodded affirmatively.
Seeing the confusion in the other party's eyes, he was too lazy to keep the secret any longer and explained directly:
“The promotion of any new thing doesn’t happen overnight.”
"Although the method of refining refined salt is not difficult, it does increase the cost a lot."
"If we rashly promote it on a large scale, these costs will eventually be passed on to the people."
"Also, are you asking your father to compete directly with those aristocratic families because he thinks your Li family's throne is too secure?"
That’s all I have to say, the meaning is very clear.
If Li Chengqian can't figure out what to do next, Zhou Yu doesn't mind changing his agent.
"Thank you...thank you for your guidance, Immortal."
At this moment, Li Lizhi's eyes were filled with shock and surprise, without any trace of shyness.
What shocked her was that Zhou Yu took out such huge benefits without even blinking an eye.
The purpose was simply to vent Xiao Sizi's anger.
The surprising thing is that the royal family can get a share of the profits from those aristocratic families through this incident.
My father represents the Tang Dynasty. Once he takes the lead in this matter, even if the benefits are huge, it is likely to lead to a joint boycott by those aristocratic families.
But if this matter was led by himself and the prince, then we would only represent the royal family and not the Tang Dynasty.
The royal family already has a lot of assets, so even if the aristocratic families have some resistance, it will not be too strong.
