Since Li Er and his father Li Yuan had a deep discussion on the Turkic offense, Li Yuan announced that he would give way early. After Yuan Tiangang's calculations, Li Er's ascension ceremony was held on the sixth day of the seventh month.

Because of Bai Fan's arrival, Li Er became emperor less than a month after being promoted from King Qin to Prince, and then he enthroned and abolished the crown prince Li Jian to King Jin. The Qin Palace was changed to the King of Jin Palace and given to Li Jiancheng. Li Yuanji was still the King of Qi. However, the two were under house arrest for being convicted and deprived of all rights and freedoms, and no one could meet!

Since Bai Fan took out the cavalry equipment, Li Er was in a good mood. With the help of stirrups and saddles, soldiers from the Tang Dynasty rode their horses and fought immediately. They were no less than a native northern barbarian warrior. With such a big killer as a horseshoe, they no longer had to worry about the horses being eliminated due to wear and tear on their horses!

With so much equipment, the Tang Dynasty convened craftsmen to work day and night, and was determined to create 40,000 sets of cavalry equipment before the war began. Li Shimin couldn't help but feel confident of defeating the future Turkic battle!

On this day, Li Shimin found Bai Fan, "Bai Fan, the problem of cavalry has been solved now. As you said, the army of the Tang Dynasty has prepared a spear formation to deal with the cavalry. The military preparations are no longer a problem, but they are still missing more than 100,000 yuan in military pay. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

Often, many important officials and scholars think hard about this kind of thing, but Li Shimin knew that the boy in front of him could always come up with some wonderful ideas, so he summoned him to ask!

Bai Fan calculated that more than 100,000 jin of military pay was all military pay, and it was distributed one after another within three months. Since it was not taken out at once, there was a way to solve it.

"Your Majesty, if we don't have money, we need to find a way to make money. Caomin has a secret salt recipe developed with Senior Brother Yuan. He can use bitter salt, poisonous salt, and even sea water to make edible salt, and the texture is far beyond all the salt in the world! It looks like white snow, which Caomin calls it snow salt!

Considering the current situation before, I was afraid that if this technique was leaked to the Gentiles, it would be extremely harmful. I have never dared to take it out yet! As it is decided today, the grass people are willing to offer this secret recipe. Please choose a loyal and reliable person to protect this recipe and then make salt quickly. With such good salt, we can first sell it to Gentiles in limited quantities, such as Goguryeo, Gaochang, etc. Even if we sell a pound of snow salt to those foreign nobles, there will definitely be people rushing to ask for it. We will definitely make a big profit at that time!"

This is true? Li Er seemed to be unable to believe it, it looked like white snow salt?

When Li Er saw the finished product brought by Yuan Tiangang, he really believed that such a great thing was happening! This kid can not only solve his urgent needs, but also make such great achievements that benefit the country and the people. Very good, he is simply his own lucky star!

"Boy, such a great achievement can be used to be a marquis. But you also know that you are too young and at most you can raise your title to the viscount is the limit. In this way, you can only reward you from other places. I can make the decision on what official position you want, so that you can have a certain choice!" Li Er said.

Bai Fan was speechless, he was really a stingy person. He obviously didn't want to give him a reward. If you want a title, you only give him a viscount and an official position? You don't know how to be an official, you want money? The Tang Dynasty was so poor!

After pondering for a moment, Bai Fan said, "Your Majesty, the people don't want official positions or titles. The people are happy and carefree. This secret method of salt making is dedicated to the people of the Tang Dynasty, not for official positions, but also contains the merits of my senior brother!

It’s better to do this, and give all the rewards to senior brothers for their official positions and titles!

Knowing that the Tang Dynasty is in financial difficulties, you should reward the Wangjing Tower that you confiscated a few days ago to the boy! Wangjing Tower is also of great value. The boy has the skill to open a restaurant. With this place, he can make a living!"

Li Er is so angry! What's wrong with choosing, you guys, but you want to do business as a merchant?

"What's wrong with merchants? They also rely on labor to support themselves! Besides, I don't do it myself. I'm looking for someone to run it, and then I'll bring in a few companies to develop together. Then the income from the court is divided into 20% of the net profit of the court to make taxes, which can be considered a contribution to the country!"

Li Er said in a deep voice, "Since ancient times, the country has not competed for profit with the people, do you know?"

Bai Fan retorted, "We are not competing for profit with the people. We can afford to eat and drink in Wangjinglou. No one is not a high-ranking official and powerful man, but rich and rich. When the national crisis, you ask them to take money and they are unkind. Therefore, we can only follow the curve and make enough money with food, and then give more profits to the country, so that the country can become richer and richer!

At most, I am a strange killer to help the poor, not to compete with the people for profit!”

When Li Shimin heard this, it really made sense!

He nodded, "This matter can be based on you, but you must not manage it yourself, so as not to ruin your reputation. I am waiting for you to serve the court one day, but the court will not recruit any merchants. You have to have a serious matter!"

In the end, the matter of Xueyan was secretly disclosed, Bai Fan got Wangjing Tower, Yuan Tiangang was granted three hundred households to be granted the fief of 300. Li Er sent his confidant minister, Huai'an King Li Shentong, to take charge of the matter. Everything was going on in an orderly manner, waiting for the army to arrive, and then he chose the day to go north to fight!

Bai Fan was not idle either. He didn't have to worry about major affairs in the court. He just wanted to make money. He brought Li Jing's family, Cheng Yaojin's family, Changsun Wuji's family, and his own Bai family. A total of four families joined Wangjinglou and agreed to give the court 20% of them. The remaining ones were just 20% of them. Although the others were a little embarrassed and thought that Bai Fan had the most, Bai Fan knew the profits. It would be bad for him to get too much. He insisted that everyone share them equally. The last few families all accepted his favors!

As for the operation of the restaurant, Bai Fan didn't have to worry about it. After discussing the matter of the wife of several families, they left all the business to the wife. Everyone worked together to do it. Bai Fan came up with a secret recipe and opened Wangjing Tower again in less than three days!

As soon as the stir-frying was released, it instantly attracted the attention of all Chang'an people. In this era where only steaming and cooking, it is really hard to imagine how much temptation a plate of fried meat could bring to these ancient people, but one thing is enough to prove that when Li Shimin saw that Wangjinglou earned 1,000 guan a day, he was jealous!

This is simply a robbery! Although I didn’t expect that there were so many rich people in Chang'an City, it was obvious that the 20% profit given by Bai Fan was not good at this time!

Finally, after some bargaining, the two sides agreed that Wangjinglou would pay 40% of its net profit to the court to fill the treasury. At the same time, the court did not interfere in the operation and also provided various policy conveniences, because Bai Fan said that Wangjinglou would open all over the country in the future, which is called a chain hotel!

The remaining 60% of the profits are still divided equally by four companies. Now each company can be said to be a daily profit of money!
Chapter completed!
