Datang: I show my cards, I am the emperor

Chapter 58 This is the true brother!

Li Shimin looked at such a piece of white crystal that Wang Chen grabbed with his hand, and only glanced twice, and immediately couldn't help but exclaim.

"Salt?".

Wang Chen nodded.

"Yes, this is exactly what everyone in the world needs every day, and this piece of salt in my hand is the most ordinary piece of salt. "

However, Li Shimin was not as surprised or confused as Wang Chen expected.

On the contrary, he immediately stood up, walked quickly to the door of the tavern and looked left and right for a while, making sure that no one would enter the store in the next second, and then Li Shimin hurriedly ran back.

Li Er pulled Wang Chen and walked inside.

Then the volume was lowered, but the tone was hurried and resolute: "Shopkeeper, you don't want to die, you actually want to get involved in the private salt business?".

"Salt and iron are monopolized by the imperial court, and once the sale of illicit salt is found by the government, it will be exiled for 3,000 miles, and the worst will be beheaded to show the public!"

"Those outlaws, it's okay to do this regardless of their wealth, a young man like you who has a bright future, a blossoming flower, and a promising future, why bother to do this kind of murderous business of selling illicit salt. "

"You just advised me not to do those unscrupulous things, why did you yourself come up with such a crooked idea. "

"If you are really short of money to spend, tell my brother, I will fund you first, and when you become a big official, it will not be too late to pay it back slowly. "

In Li Shimin's concept, it is related to salt, and he also said that he can make a fortune and earn a lot of wealth through this, and there will be no other livelihood except for selling illicit salt.

Li Shimin didn't know why Xiao Wang's shopkeeper suddenly thought of engaging in the work of buying and selling illicit salt, but this was undoubtedly a head-off thing.

Although it is true that the money comes quickly, the intensity of the government's crackdown is also quite fierce, and once it is found, it will not be merciful.

Li Shimin never wanted the young man in front of him to go so astray.

Maybe it's good to love and cherish talents, after all, Xiao Wang's shopkeeper does have rare talents in the world, extraordinary abilities, and a series of other advantages.

But more importantly, because after nearly two months of contact, he and Wang Chen have become familiar with the same relationship as friends.

Often brothers are commensurate, not just doing kung fu on the surface, but really having such a meaning in it.

At least for Li Shimin, the son of the Tang Dynasty, the young man in front of him is a rare friend in his life.

The eldest grandson Wuji and other elders of the DPRK and China can of course be regarded as their close friends.

But the problem is that since he ascended the throne as emperor, these elders of the court and the central government have become a little more estranged from him, and there is an estrangement between the upper and lower ranks.

In the exchanges, the first thing to talk about is the monarch and the minister, and then the relationship between friends or relatives.

On the contrary, looking around, the entire government and the opposition were up and down, and only this Wang brother was left without knowing his identity at all.

is the only brother Wang who can talk to him on an equal footing, without those red tape and etiquette at all, just treating him as the most ordinary friend.

Li Shimin enjoys this relationship very much, and naturally loves the young man in front of him very much.

He didn't want his friends to go astray, otherwise he, the son of heaven, would be in a dilemma.

That's why he said that if Wang Chen was short of money to spend and asked him directly, he would rather take a part of his small royal treasury to fund his friends.

And Wang Chen suddenly heard Li Shimin's nervous series of words, and the whole person was a little confused.

However, after a short period of confusion and doubt, Wang Chen also understood what Li Shimin meant.

He couldn't help but pat Li Shimin's shoulder and looked at Li Shimin's nervous and sincere eyes.

"Lao Li, enough brother, just based on your words today, you will be my Wang Chen's most iron buddy in the future. "

"No matter how mixed I go in the future, I will never forget you iron buddy!"

When Li Shimin heard Wang Chen say this, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved while being nervous and serious in his heart.

Sure enough, Xiao Wang's shopkeeper still understood his hard work, and he persuaded him in vain.

"Brother Wang, since we are good buddies, then you should listen to your Brother Li's advice, this private salt business must not be touched again, don't even think about it. "

"If you want to make a lot of money, you can go other ways, I think this brewing is also very good, if you need to, I can contribute some money. "

In order to ensure that Wang Chen could change his mind, Li Shimin directly abandoned his previous idea, and now even if he is allowed to take a stake in winemaking, he is willing to do it.

Wang Chen told the truth, and he was really moved in his heart.

This Lao Li is really interesting, he is a person who really regards himself as a friend, not that kind of superficial brother.

However, he still took Li Shimin's arm and returned to the chair they had been sitting in before.

"Come, come, sit down, and listen to me tell you slowly. "

As he spoke, Wang Chen spread out the handful of salt he held in his palm.

"The big deal I'm going to tell you about today is indeed related to salt, but it's not the kind of smuggling of smuggled salt that you think. "

"Let me sell illicit salt, I will never do this, don't I understand that this is the truth of killing heads?"

"So today we are going to talk about another big deal. "

When Li Shimin heard this, the whole person was stunned for a moment.

"Isn't it a trade in illicit salt?".

Seeing Wang Chen's exact nod, the stone hanging in Li Shimin's heart was finally put down.

But then he wondered again.
