Wang Kuang can't stand Pi San's almost flattery attitude. If this kid continues, his future will not be so bright. Li Shimin hates flattery the most, but there is no one who has succeeded in flattery. But they are clever means. You have to make people feel comfortable and you can't feel that he is flattering. This is the real success. So, flattery is a profound knowledge. Some people have succeeded and cursed the other party. Bystanders can't bear to listen, but the other party still feels comfortable after listening. This is a great success. Updated

Wang Kuang used to have a colleague who was so skillful in this subject. When visiting customers, he often spoke ill of them. Sometimes his hands almost poked the tip of the customer's nose. As a result, the customer was still smiling and listening to them. In the end, he paid for the service and accessories. If you advise him that something could be bought cheaper, he would be anxious. Afterwards, Wang Kuang asked about the key points. Because Wang Kuang had helped many colleagues in his professional life, the colleague did not hide it and said, "I'm not scolding him, I'm flattering him." Look at what I said, what sentence did not look at the problem from his perspective? He really felt that I was thinking about him, so he paid for it obediently...

Pi San is clearly in the early stage, and his eyesight needs to be trained. He and Xu Guoxu are standing half behind Li Shimin, which is clearly a big shot. No matter who Li Shimin is, he should smile at Li Shimin first, nod, or ask ok. Then he will report to him.

It is not that Pi San has no vision at all, but his vision is generally only focused on analyzing low-level people in society, civilians, merchants and doctors, etc. Once he enters his eyes, he can also roughly determine whether the person has any worries or something. However, if he wants to see through the children of the great men who have been influenced by long-term writing or taught by the clan planners at one glance, his vision is lacking. In other words, he can see through those who have not been trained, but those who have been trained intentionally or unintentionally cannot see through them.

Since Pi San has fallen into his eyes, he should create conditions for him. Wang Kuang laughed and scolded: "You monkey, you didn't see any guests here, so you just came here rashly. This is also a large number of Qin Langjun. If someone else didn't know that you were hiding in the market, you might not have a good time. Haven't you seen Qin Langjun before?"

Then Pi San quickly sang a fat look to Li Shimin: "I have met Qin Langjun. I'm sorry, Qin Langjun, I'm just a scoundrel who doesn't understand the rules. &&Absolutely, my husband looked at him and gave him a job, otherwise he would still eat and drink on the street every day. Qin Langjun, don't blame my husband for not knowing people. This is also my husband's misfortune. Look. No one can use him, and he actually wants to use such a person."

This guy is also a little sensible. The day before yesterday, I learned that the Jianzhou navy was obedient to his husband, and his husband didn't seem to want people to be regarded as a dangerous person with great strength. Now that he has such an opportunity, he naturally wants to say a few words to his husband. He also heard from Wang Kuang's words that the Qin Langjun in front of him was definitely a big shot, otherwise his husband would not have scolded him so openly, but he would have awakened himself in secret.

Li Shimin was a good man, and he didn't know what Wang Kuang intended. However, he didn't mind being used by Wang Kuang for a while. He smiled and untied a piece of white jade from his belt and handed it to Wang Kuang: "I'll give you this loyal family. Does Marquis Jian'an really think that someone is that kind of person? Thinking back then, when Cheng... the old man was still young, he was even more confused than you, Pi San, and he had a different use?" When it comes to knowing people and using people, Li Shimin was very proud. He now has a lot of civil and military wise men and wise men, standing in the court, and he would just grab one of them to be powerful. In this regard, he believed that no emperor could compete with him since ancient times.

"Thank you for the reward of Qin Langjun, thank you for the reward of Qin Langjun." Pi San took the white jade from Wang Kuang's hand. Yu was happy as soon as he started. This was a piece of jade. He looked at his heart well before he started. His warm feel was several times better than the skin of the top Xiaohong lady in Yitao Pavilion on the street.

"Okay, let's talk about serious business, what did you say just? But those guys are moving again?" Just a piece of white jade, how good can you be better than your own mugwort leaf green? If you have the ability, can withstand the wind and waves, and can withstand cultivation, you can give you some of the better things than this jade. Although it was rewarded by the emperor, this jade is just a piece of decorative white jade that was untied from the belt. Without any carvings, if you take it out, others will not think that the jade is of great origin.

Of course, Li Shimin could not give Pi San something that could contain a certain meaning. After all, it was the first time he saw it. Pi San was just a subordinate who had just been taken over by Wang Kuang, and he didn't even make any contribution. Just rewarding things like this is not a matter of not treating the emperor's things? It was just because of his appearance as Wang Kuang's subordinate. Adding Pi San's image in the market reminded him of his time in Taiyuan when he was young, and that's all.

"Langjun, it's not that guys who have any movement. They are as obedient as rabbits these days, and they have been living in their residences all day long. Seeing that the day ahead is the day to set off, they are also worried that if something goes wrong, they won't be able to get on the boat. Someone heard a great joy from a salt and iron merchant from Dongping, so they came to report to Langjun." Pi San carefully put the jade in close proximity. This jade was not the same for Wang Kuang, but for him, Pi San, it is his most valuable property now. It can be used as a treasure passed down by the heirloom. Naturally, he was careful and careful, for fear that if someone did not pay attention, the loss would be great.

"Dongping?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked Xu Guoxu: "But where did the two brothers settle now?"

"It is precisely because they were arranged by Marquis Jian'an to Dongping to smelter iron to build weapons. It has been more than a year since they calculated the days. I guessed that the two brothers had created something good, probably because they were inseparable from the iron and weapons." Xu Guoxu didn't notice it at first. When he heard Li Shimin mention it, there was another news that Pi San had just said was from the salt and iron merchants. Then 80% of the time it was supposed to be the two brothers who made some noise.

Salt and iron were sold in the yamen. Later, under the operation of Wang Kuang, most of the residents on the beach knew the method of drying salt. Now the price of salt in the Tang Dynasty has dropped from being more expensive than two or three dou of rice to being cheaper than one dou of rice. If it weren't for the heavy salt and fear of tide, and the long journey, it would probably be possible to exchange a pound of rice for one pound of salt. However, the monopoly of salt was ineffective. The profit of selling salt was already very thin. Unless it was said that the wealthy family had a carriage and a ship, many people could sell it at one time.

If other people do not have transportation tools, the cost is higher and not enough to reach a certain amount, they will not make any money. Therefore, the private salt dealers that were rampant in the past have long disappeared, so naturally there is no need to set up a monopoly. Not to mention the beach, even if they go to the homes of poor people in bitter and cold places, which one can take out a few kilograms of salt? This is also because the salt price has dropped sharply in the past two years. People are not used to the rise in the future and stock up on them. After a few years, everyone will get used to the low salt price, and no one will be willing to sell salt.

Iron is still a monopoly. In the past, salt and iron were used together, so the salt and iron merchants came into being. Most of them have their own branches and roads. It is a monopoly method for people who get monopoly licenses from the yamen. But don’t think about how high their profits are. The iron production price is set, and the iron prices in various places are also set. No matter what workshop it is, as long as the iron is used, there are records in the yamen. What is your iron quota this year, how much you bought, etc., these are all well documented. The only advantage of salt and iron merchants is that they are guaranteed to get a profit from drought and flood, so they don’t have to worry about the year and harvest.

The brothers Li Shimin and Xu Guoxu were naturally the brothers Wang Tiansheng and Wang Tianfu. After they were rescued, they were sent to Dongping by Wang Kuang to be responsible for building swords. This trip took more than a year or two, and it should have been a result. No matter what else, just the new dipping method they accidentally figured out and the hundred-fold forging that Wang Kuang taught them, the swords produced in Dongping have become resources that the army and towns competed to grab. If it weren't in Dongping or the base camp of Wang Kuang, their brothers would probably face the ending of being captured several times, and in the territory of Jianzhou, no one dared to move.

For the court, no matter where the two brothers were, they were all within the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally they would not consider where they were to be set up. Moreover, compared with other military towns, it was safer to place them in Dongping, a place that did not produce iron, because in this way, all the iron was transported and how many swords and weapons were produced every year. As for the major forces in the court, it was unnecessary to say that the poor side of the poor side was firmly standing on Wang Kuang's side; in terms of civil officials, the aristocratic clans and Wang Kuang had considerable economic interests, and they did not care about the army, of course they also supported Wang Kuang; and the aristocratic clans had just come to the ranks of nobles, and there were many places that needed to rely on the aristocratic clans, so naturally they followed the aristocratic clans; on the side of the military officers, except for those guarding one side, almost all of them were standing on Wang Kuang's side, led by the Three Horses and Li Jing, so no one dared to move the swords and guns from Dongping.

"Tell me, tell me quickly, what good thing has come out of Dongping?" Xu Guoxu urged Pi San continuously. In fact, he was not in a hurry, but the emperor was anxious, so he, the eunuch, had to be even more anxious than the emperor.

"According to the salt and iron merchant, the two officials of Tiansheng and Tianfu, they actually figured out what kind of method to stir-fry steel. Well, he said that, I was thinking, how to stir-fry this steel? Is it still fried with a spatula like the masters in the kitchen? Oh my god, my hands were hot. So I didn't believe it at that time, but the merchant said that this matter was absolutely true and had already reported to the state government office. Now the good news is probably halfway, and it will be reported to the saint soon. When someone heard that this was good news, he came to report to the husband."

It was indeed a great joy. To be continued...
