Chapter 207 General Idea [Second Update]
There are many thoughts in Suning's mind this time, and this matter is about the future.
But for Suning, he already had a general idea in his mind, but he still had to.
However, Suning also has its own ideas, which is to insist on privatization.
After all, there is a lot of salt.
Although current mining techniques are limited, there are still vast amounts of salt that have yet to be discovered.
But it has to be said that the amount of salt stored in Datang is very high.
Even if there is still a priority for mining methods, Datang now has another advantage.
That is the advancement of purification technology, which purifies poisonous salt that was previously inedible into edible salt.
The mined salt, including edible and inedible, becomes edible after being purified by Suning's method.
The number of people in Datang is now less than [-] million, these mined purified salt.
It is enough for every family to eat, and it can last for about three years.
During these three years, other salt mines, salt wells, and salt pans were mined.
Whether it is edible salt or inedible poisonous salt mined, it becomes edible after being purified by Suning's method.
So there is no need to worry about the problem of salt now.
As a result, Datang's salt storage capacity is somewhat surplus, and it is still a blind monopoly.
Many ordinary people can't afford salt, and the rich can't buy all the extra salt.
Salt also has a shelf life. It can be stored for one or two years, but not for three or four years.
A lot of salt mined in Datang is now because it has not been sold out.
The other party is in the warehouse, all broken.
If it is to maintain the price of salt, it is understandable to let the salt go bad.
But now there is no need to maintain a high price for salt at all, and only small profits but quick turnover can make Datang a lot of money.
So he insisted on privatization and let salt enter every household.
Seeing that Suning was silent, Li Shimin on the other end was a little anxious.
"General Su, tell me what should be done?"
"Your Majesty, I think it should be privatized!"
"you sure?"
"Very sure, Your Majesty!"
After hearing Suning's words, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling laughed.
"Listen!" Changsun Wuji pointed at Suning, "Listen to what General Su said. General Su supports privatization!"
Fang Xuanling was also happy, "That's right, General Su is very resourceful. He said that it can be privatized, so most likely it will be privatized."
These two people are the faction that supports the privatization of salt, and Changsun Wuji understands it very well.
There is only one reason why he is so supportive of privatization.
Because he is the representative of the aristocratic family in the imperial court, and their eldest grandson's family is comparable to the capitalists of later generations.
He has monopolized many industries because his power is too great.
As the younger sister of Changsun Wuji, Empress Changsun is somewhat afraid of Changsun Wuji.
I am afraid that the power of the eldest grandson's family will be too great, so that it will threaten the power of Li Tang's family.
I have seen this at the end of the Sui Dynasty. This is how the Li family started their business.
Back then, the Li Tang family was an aristocrat with great power.
Li Yuan's grandfather, Li Hu, was one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty.
The Yang family in the previous dynasty was also aristocratic in the Western Wei Dynasty and stole their land.
Speaking of which, these nobles are all related.
So empress changsun was afraid that this kind of thing would happen to the Li family again, which would benefit the changsun family.
Although Empress Changsun is from the Changsun family, she married the Li family after all.
Moreover, as a queen, even if he didn't think about Li Tang, he would think about his son.
In the future, the country will definitely belong to her son. If there is another person like Li Yuan, her son's country will definitely not be stable, so she will spare no effort to suppress her natal family.
To clear the way for his son, of course, this did play a role.
At least so that the eldest grandson's family can't use the name of her eldest grandson queen to grow bigger.
Although the Changsun family was suppressed by the Empress Changsun, Changsun Wuji was still flourishing.
After all, the hero who founded the country also held a high position.
He can't do well even if he wants to, and now he is extremely supportive of privatization.
It is because although the eldest grandson's family has many businesses, but there is no such business as salt.
If he can get the right to buy and sell salt, then he is confident that in a short time.
Let Changsun's family become the number one salt merchant in the Tang Dynasty, after all, he is behind it.
My own sister doesn't support the eldest grandson's family, so I support the eldest grandson's family.
Therefore, the privatization of this salt is inevitable, and whoever prevents privatization is his enemy.
And Fang Xuanling is similar, the founding hero.
Although he is not a nobleman, he is also an important minister of the court.
His power is no worse than Du Ruhui, the prime minister, and in private, his property is all over Chang'an.
With Changsun Wuji, a like-minded aristocratic friend, the salt business will definitely do well in the future.
So he is also very supportive of the privatization of salt. When the imperial court does not monopolize it, the Fang family and the eldest grandson's family will monopolize it.
Now with the support of Suning, I am even more proud.
After all, they all know Suning's identity, he is the prince.
The powerful contender for the crown prince is also the celebrity in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin will basically listen to everything he says, after all, his ability lies there.
He is much better than the other princes, maybe Datang may belong to him in the future.
The faction that does not support the privatization of salt is led by Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng.
Both are veterans, and their thinking is extremely conservative.
Considering Datang's treasury, there is also the issue of taxation.
So they firmly disagree with privatization. Fortunately, both of them are high-ranking people.
On the contrary, he was able to stand up to Changsun Wuji, a nobleman who was related to the emperor, and Fang Xuanling.
As a result, people from each faction were attracted and became ministers with different opinions from the two factions.
This is the most troublesome place for Li Shimin, a group of ministers disagree.
Then in the future, wouldn't it be intrigue among the court, who would speak out their opinions unscrupulously?
They are all afraid of being caught by the other party and then played.
So he invited Suning and asked him to find a solution.
Seeing that Suning supported privatization, Li Shimin was very puzzled.
"General Su, tell me your reason!"
Before Suning could say anything, Wei Zheng was unhappy.
"Your Majesty, I admit that General Su is outstanding in some aspects, but this matter is obviously that General Su has no foresight. After the Turks around the Tang Dynasty are pacified, the world will be peaceful.
At that time, if it is privatized again, the old minister will definitely not object. "
"Yes!" Fang Xuanling also nodded, "I also agree with Wei Lao."
Du Ruhui and Xi Ni could not participate in this faction struggle, but he had to.
Because I am the prime minister, if I pretend not to know about this matter.
When the time comes, the two factions will divide and they will isolate themselves.
At that time, my prime minister was emptied of by these people and became a prime minister in name only.
This was not what he wanted to see, so he joined Wei Zheng's side.
Because Wei Zheng needs balance here.
It still seems difficult for Suning to balance each of them.
