Great Tang: The Truth Is Out, I'm the Eldest Princess!

Why are there so many showdown novels recently?

This is imitating the Tang Dynasty. Am I the emperor in a showdown?

The salt produced in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties had larger particles, pure white color, and no bitter taste. The salt eaten by people in the early Tang Dynasty was not as bitter and difficult to swallow as in the TV series, and the salt production methods were not that backward. During the Tianbao reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the price of salt was ten cents per dou. In the early Tang Dynasty, there was Emperor Taizong's rule of Zhenguan. "In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the price of a dou of rice was only four or five cents." This means that in the fourth year of Zhenguan, the price of each dou of rice was only four or five cents. It can be roughly inferred that the price of salt was not high at that time. The reason why people have problems eating salt is because later in the first year of Qianyuan, minister Wu Qi, with the support of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, implemented the "salt-eating method" - the court monopolized salt on the spot. This caused the price of salt to soar, reaching one hundred and ten cents per dou of salt.
