Prince Ruyang had already decided!
As long as Lin Yang could really extract good salt from the salt mine, he would be his son-in-law. Lin Yang could not run away even if he wanted to!
As for the future when Lin Yang and the Second Prince failed to compete for the throne and could no longer stay in Chu, that would be even better. This way, Prince Ruyang could openly bring Lin Yang to Mongolia and ask the Khan to make Lin Yang a king.
Salt was really important in this era!
Lin Yang also had lunch in the palace.
Lin Yang ate the meal awkwardly because the Emperor and Prince Ruyang only ate a few mouthfuls before staring at Lin Yang. It would be strange if Lin Yang could eat freely under the gaze of two old men!
After dinner, the Emperor found an excuse to send Prince Ruyang away.
Although Prince Ruyang was reluctant, Lin Yang was someone else's child and was now in someone else's territory. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to leave.
In the afternoon.
There were only three people in the secret room of Yangxin Palace Hall.
One was the emperor, one was Lin Yang, and there was also an unfamiliar eunuch.
The eunuch always had a smile on his face, but the occasional coldness in his eyes told Lin Yang that this guy was very dangerous.
"My son, if you need anything, just tell Eunuch Hai.”
Lin Yang nodded and told him the tools he needed.""I need ten catties of salt ore, followed by a sieve, a hammer, a stone mill, charcoal, a wooden barrel, and an iron pot."
According to the netizen, he needed a lot of tools, but they were all very common things.
Eunuch Hai narrowed his eyes. After hearing what Lin Yang needed, he immediately nodded and went to do it. This guy was very fast. In less than 15 minutes, everything Lin Yang needed was moved into the secret room.
Under the guidance of the netizens, Lin Yang took a small hammer and carefully smashed the large salt mine into small pieces. Then, he called Eunuch Hai to pour the salt mine into the stone mill. Eunuch Hai shook the stone mill and turned it. Brown mineral powder slowly overflowed from the edge of the stone mill. Lin Yang put the mineral powder into a wooden barrel, added water, and stirred it with a wooden stick to let the salt fully melt into the water.
When the solution was saturated, he poured it into another wooden barrel covered with two layers of linen. Soon, the linen was covered with grayish-black slag. After removing the linen, the solution in the bucket became brown and lighter in color, but there were still many impurities. He covered another wooden bucket with four layers of linen and filtered it again, leaving behind a light red solution.
At this time, the impurities had been filtered clean, and it was time to detoxify.
Lin Yang took a huge funnel and ordered Eunuch Hai to smash the charcoal. Eunuch Hai knew what Lin Yang wanted to do, so he didn't dare to waste any time. He showed Lin Yang his hand and smashed the charcoal into pieces with one palm.
Lin Yang wrapped the charcoal in four layers of linen and stuffed it into the funnel. He found a shelf and fixed the funnel on it. He poured the solution into the funnel. After a while, the light green solution slowly flowed out.
The netizens informed him that there would be no more poison.
Although some salt was lost in the process of making this simple method, it could guarantee that the salt cooked was absolutely edible.
Lin Yang set up a wooden pot and poured the solution into the pot to boil it. Only then did he stand up.
"Will it succeed?"
The Emperor, who had been watching from the side, asked excitedly.
This was because salt was one of the most important resources in ancient society. If Lin Yang could really make salt, the economic strength of the Chu Country would definitely increase rapidly. Along with it, the national strength of the entire Chu Country would also increase.
It was every emperor's dream to have a strong country.
The netizens told Lin Yang that it was a 100% success rate, so Lin Yang promised the emperor,"Imperial Father, there's no problem. The salt that's boiled out is not inferior to the green salt we use.”
When the Emperor heard this, his expression changed again.
Green salt was currently the most expensive salt on the market. Its price was comparable to gold. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary landowners could not afford it. If they could produce green salt in large quantities, it would be difficult for the national treasury not to be rich.
At this time, the water in the pot gradually evaporated, leaving a thick layer of blue hard shell at the bottom of the pot. Lin Yang removed the firewood, broke off a piece of finished salt from the pot, and threw it into his mouth to taste.
Not bad. The salty taste was strong and there was no bitterness. It was completely normal good salt.
The Emperor could not wait any longer. Eunuch Hai did not even have time to stop him. He broke off a piece the size of a fingernail and stuffed it into his mouth. Even though his face was twitching from the saltiness, he was still unwilling to vomit.
"Haha, it's indeed good salt!" The Emperor laughed out loud in excitement.
Looking at the greatest contributor, Lin Yang, the Emperor said with a face full of joy,""Son, you solved the problem in my heart. I will reward you heavily!”
"No fourth person is allowed to know the secret recipe for making salt today!”
Lin Yang and Eunuch Hai quickly agreed!
When the three of them walked out of the secret room, Prince Ruyang, who had been waiting outside for a long time, quickly walked up to them.
When the Emperor saw an outsider, his happy face immediately disappeared, and he regained his dignity.
"Your Majesty, did you succeed?" Prince Ruyang asked impatiently.”
The Emperor nodded. He did not intend to hide it from Prince Ruyang. From the moment Linyang succeeded in making salt, he had a series of plans to strengthen the country in his mind.
Seeing the Emperor nod in affirmation, Prince Ruyang's eyes immediately lit up. He looked at Lin Yang with a meaningful gaze.
