"Your Majesty!"
Jiang Yi only bowed and did not kneel.
As a person who had transmigrated in the future, he was not used to kneeling in front of everyone. Moreover, no one said anything, so he was too lazy to kneel.
Looking at the faces of Li Er and the others, they were probably too shocked to even react.
Moreover, in history, the Han emperors rarely made people kneel on the ground. Only the Qing Dynasty had enslaved China's 5,000 years of civilization.
As expected, Li Shimin walked up to Jiang Yi with a long knife in his hand. After looking around a few times, he frowned and said,""What a handsome young man. How old are you this year?”
"Your Majesty, I am eighteen years old this year.”Jiang Yi said casually.
"It's the year of the dancing elephant. Not bad."
Li Shi Min nodded with satisfaction." I can see that your father is a rare god." Can you use this saber-making technique?"
"Your Majesty!"
Cheng Chumo stepped forward and interrupted,"Not only does Brother Jiang know a little about saber making, but he also knows how to produce refined salt!”
"What?"
Li Shiming was shocked. He suddenly turned to Jiang Yi and said,""Is that true?"
"Really!"
It was Cheng Chumo's words again. He ordered the servants to bring the barbecue grill, condiments, and ingredients to Li Shimin and the others. Then he said,"Your Majesty, please take a look. This barbecue grill is also made of steel. Your Majesty, look at the container that holds the water. Your Majesty, try this…"
As he spoke, he handed over a small box of salt.
"This is?"
Zhangsun Wuji was the first to come up. He pinched some fine white salt with two fingers and put it in his mouth to taste it. In the next moment, his eyes widened."To think that there is such perfect salt in this world! Your Majesty, this is a blessing for the Great Tang!”
With that, the group of people clasped their fists and knelt on one knee to congratulate Li Shimin.
Li Shi Min was the Emperor, after all, so how could he casually taste things? Even the imperial food in the palace was tested by eunuchs and maids several times to ensure that it was not poisonous before they dared to serve it.
Seeing that all the officials had tasted it, he also pinched a little. As expected, his eyes lit up.
"This refined salt was also developed by your father?”
This was Empress Zhangsun's question, and her charming eyes could not help but glow.
"Replying to the Empress, this was made by the common people.”
As soon as Jiang Yi finished speaking, Li Shiming and the others suddenly focused their attention and held their breaths, sizing Jiang Yi up again.
What was salt? Salt was the future of the Great Tang.
The most lacking salt now!
"What a good young man."
Li Shi Min was overjoyed. He turned around and sat down on the chair, pointing to the side."Jiang Yi, what else do you know? I want to hear your opinion of the Great Tang!”
"Your Majesty, I'm just a commoner. I don't dare to talk about state affairs.”
Jiang Yi was so smart. Since ancient times, the most unpredictable thing was the heart of a monarch. Who knew which one of his words might block his future path?
"It's fine. Today, you have also seen that all the beloved ministers are here to testify for Zhen. Zhen allows you to talk freely. With your good skills, Zhen believes that you will definitely give Zhen a stunning opinion.”
Li Shiming was obviously very happy, so he put the long saber aside.
It seemed that this saber would not fall into Cheng Yaojin's hands. It was most likely snatched away by this shameless emperor.
"Then…I'll be frank.”
Jiang Yi didn't stand on ceremony and sat down.""The commoners believe that the country is based on the people, that food is the most important thing for the people, and that food is based on safety. The first thing to be dealt with was food. Our Great Tang has been suffering from droughts for many years now, and the people's livelihood is weak. The most fundamental reason was wheat and rice. This commoner is not talented, but he knows a few ways to improve the food supply of our Great Tang.”
This was definitely not a joke.
Not to mention how high-quality the grain varieties in the warehouse were, the planting methods he knew were all refined by the later generations for thousands of years.
Just one or two of them could completely improve the Great Tang's daily poverty.
With the improvement of the people's livelihood, the country would naturally become stronger.
"What?"
Li Shi Min rushed up to Jiang Yi, his hands trembling as he gripped Jiang Yi's arm tightly.""Jiang Yi, do you know the consequences of deceiving the emperor?”
"This commoner has no intention of deceiving the emperor.”
Jiang Yi smiled confidently and pried Li Shiming's hand away bit by bit. It hurt so much as he continued,""However, allow me to explain to Your Majesty. We must first cultivate the latest grain and use it as seeds. In the coming year, we will increase the planting area. In less than three to five years, the people of the Great Tang will become the wealthiest people in the world.
Hiss--
The group of people gasped in shock. Jiang Yi's breath was so huge that even if they didn't believe it, the refined salt and the treasured saber were all there.
They believed that this youth was not a liar.
"Good!"
Li Shi Min slammed the table in excitement, his eyes red,""Jiang Yi, are you willing to become an official in the court?”
"Your Majesty, I don't want to."
Jiang Yi's answer shocked the group of old men. There was actually someone in this world who didn't want to be an official. Was this person an idiot?
"Oh? This has surprised Zhen."
Li Shi Min smiled in surprise and frowned,""Are you willing to tell me the reason why you are not willing to enter the court as an official?”
"Your Majesty, this commoner is a commoner who yearns for an unfettered rural life. Using the sky as a blanket and the earth as a bed to feel the nature between heaven and earth was the heart of the commoners.”
Jiang Yi pointed at the blue sky outside in an elegant manner. Damn it, with such a big warehouse, he could have anything he wanted. Who would be willing to be an official and be ordered around by you?
