    No, 267 is not the best solution.

    "Oh? How to solve it??" Huang Junming suddenly became interested.

    "That's it, Immortal Chief." Fang Kao replied.  "You must know that a big reason why the price of salt has remained high over the years is because of the need to maintain a large amount of salt as military supplies. As a result, a large part of the salt available to the public has been reduced. In addition, taxation  , and the need for transportation costs have kept people’s salt high.”

    Huang Junming was thinking while listening. Huang Junming had just heard him talk about the use of salt as military equipment.  As for taxation, this is something Huang Junming has always considered personally, but this aspect of transportation is really an aspect that Huang Junming himself has ignored.

    "Chang Immortal, if you have a method of making salt that is better than that of the imperial court, you can first offer it to the army. And discuss it with the imperial court. After the army obtains this method, it can produce it for its own use. In this way, the salt produced by the salt households will  It can be sold directly. In this way, the army reduces the amount of salt collected and the money. It also meets the needs of military equipment. The salt produced by the salt people is enough to meet the needs of the people, so that a large part of the salt can be suppressed.  Price." Fang Kao breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "As for taxation, Xiaodao also said before that it is just to make up for the loss of the treasury when salt is used as military supplies. After this is implemented, the treasury does not lose a penny. Naturally, it will not happen again.  The tax on salt is so huge. As for transportation, there was really no good way before, but now. Cement roads have been built everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. Although some roads have not been completed yet, the transportation between major cities  The roads have been basically perfected. They can basically be smooth and smooth. As long as the roads between cities are repaired, the cost of transportation will naturally come down."

    "Yeah." Huang Junming sat on the futon, gently touching the floor with one hand, and tapping the ground with his index finger again and again.  The brows relax for a while and then come together again.  Obviously he was considering whether Fang Kao's idea was applicable to the current Tang Dynasty.

    "Da, da, da," Huang Junming said nothing. Naturally, several people in the century-old palace also looked like they were holding their breath and concentrating, not daring to make a sound.  Slowly, except for the sound of Huang Junming's hand tapping the floor, no other noise could be heard in the entire hall.  But precisely because of Huang Junming's non-statement, the atmosphere in the palace was a little solemn.  Perhaps he felt that his proposal had a big omission in the mind of the Immortal Chief Huang Junming.  Fang Kao's breathing gradually became heavier.

    Among the three people called by the monk and Taoist, Fang Kao's concentration was considered to be the best. As for the remaining two Taoist priests.  He gasped carefully, as if his heartbeat was beating to the rhythm of Huang Junming's tapping on the floor.  They were really afraid that if Huang Junming stopped tapping the floor, their hearts would stop beating.

    Slowly Huang Junming came back from his thoughts.  I saw several people sweating profusely.  Without asking, he just slowly stopped and tapped the floor with his fingers.  At the same time, he said: "Fang Kao. Your idea is not feasible or feasible. First, why do you only teach the new salt production method to the army and not to the salt farmers at the same time? Pindao also knows that when salt production increases,  After the price of salt drops, people whose families have few salt fields will inevitably suffer heavy losses. But isn’t it unjustifiable to only spread the message to the military and not to the people?"

    "Furthermore, if the salt-making method is passed on to the army, after the soldiers retire, will they bring new salt-making technology with them and have an impact on the original private salt-making industry? And when the military salt is enough to replenish military supplies,  Will the low-price salt produced in the future be sold to the private sector?"

    "Third, forget it let's just start with these two points." Huang Junming originally planned to talk about how to communicate with the government about this new method of making salt, but he just thought that the few people in front of him were not people who could talk to the top officials.  , and suppressed these words.  According to what Taoist priest Fang Kao said, Huang Junming must have done it himself, even if he didn't do it himself, to communicate with the government.  It was also Li Yuanheng who went to talk to Li Shimin. The salt industry was a major matter for the court.  Fang Kao and others' status is really not high enough to talk to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

    Originally, Fang Kao only came up with the method based on the high price of salt. He really didn't take into account the two points raised by Huang Junming.  Huang Junming's every word also reflected his own negligence, and he quickly bowed and apologized: "I was negligent, please be punished by the Immortal."

    Huang Junming smiled softly at Fang Kao, and then said: "Okay, I don't blame you. If you want to blame it, blame Pindao. Why do you think about the price of salt when you don't read the Taoist scriptures when you have nothing to do?" Huang Junming said.  The corners of his mouth were slightly raised again.  Maybe this is also a kind of self-deprecation for myself.

    "The Immortal Chief naturally cares about the people and benefits the people. This is a great virtue!" Fang Kao and others can still say nice things.  Hearing the hint of self-deprecation in Huang Junming's tone, I immediately praised Huang Junming.

    To be honest, Huang Junming is no longer the kind of person who gets happy with just two or three complimentary words.  For these remarks, I only heard them in my ears and forgot them in the blink of an eye.  He waved away Fang Kao and others.  Huang Junming thought about it for a while.?, he took out a piece of rice paper and wrote down Fang Kao's idea and Huang Junming's own concerns on the paper. He thought about it for a while, attached the method of making salt in detail, and asked Li Yuanheng.  Let him be delivered to Li Shimin.

    Although this method is not a perfect solution, it can even be said that it is not even a solution, but Huang Junming himself really can't think of any other way.  Not only do we want the majority of people to make profits, but we also don’t want to let a small number of people lose.  It is indeed too difficult.  Since ancient times, there has been nothing without two sides.  Yin and Yang are always inseparable.

    Li Shimin’s reply did not keep Huang Junming waiting long. Although Li Shimin did not do it as perfectly as recorded in later history books in some aspects, he still had his own opinions on these good things for people’s livelihood.  Huang Junming took out Li Shimin's reply letter.  I saw it written in the letter.

    "I want to recruit salt farmers to join the army and use new methods to make salt. The salt farmers will be paid monthly. Except for the salt for military needs, the rest of the salt products will be sold to the people at low prices. 60% of the proceeds will go to the salt farmers. 40% will go to the national treasury. Guarantee  Don’t compete with the people for profit.”

    Huang Junming casually put the letter with a few handwriting aside.  Perhaps Li Shimin's plan was not a good one, but it had to be said that it was the most suitable method for Datang's current situation in a short period of time.  Although it is still awkward for modern people like Huang Junming, it can only be done like this.  With wages, salt farmers will not lose their daily necessities due to low salt prices.  Selling surplus salt for takeout is another way to replenish the national treasury and make salt farmers profitable.  When salt farmers make profits, they must increase their enthusiasm for production.  So that they will not be lazy because of a fixed salary.  As for whether the salt produced by salt farmers after being exiled from the army can lead to prosperity?  That's for sure. The current productivity at the center can barely make the entire Tang Dynasty eat salt, let alone after increasing productivity.  It can be said that in some aspects, Li Shimin still took into account some of Huang Junming's concerns.

    As for that sentence, I promise not to compete with the people for profit.  Huang Junming couldn't tell whether he believed it or not. He couldn't help it. Many of Li Yitu's guarantees were not as loud as a fart.

    The next chapter is about to enter the locust plague.  Then came the world of mortals.  Southwest is now considered to have no character.  In the author group, Southwest's vest was also changed to "This is a big piece of lazy shit." Hehe, in short, lazy is lazy, no matter how much it is updated, it will be updated.

    There may be more in February.  Probably around 100,000 to 150,000 words.  (To be continued)
