However, the children present did not see it. They only knew that their friend Qin Yi was about to be beaten up by Qin Meiyu and wanted to stop this from happening.

Li Qiankun, Cheng Chumo, and Zhangsun Chong rushed to Qin Yi's side and spread their arms to block Qin Meiyu from hitting Qin Yi.

Li Li and Li Antai tugged at Second Emperor Li's clothes, urging him to save Qin Yi.

Second Emperor Li looked at his three children. Two of them were asking him to plead for mercy, while the other ran up to stop them.

This made him very speechless. After all, all the adults present could see that Qin Meiyu was only pretending.

Seeing that his children were really anxious, Second Emperor Li felt that it was better to quickly speak up and persuade Qin Meiyu. He doted on his children very much.

"Uncle Bao, that kid Qin is just a child who doesn't know anything. It's better if you don't beat him up. Can't you just explain the seriousness of this matter to him first?”

After Qin Meiyu heard Second Emperor Li's words, she took the opportunity to stop. She promised Li Qiankun, Cheng Chumo, and Zhangsun Chong that she would not beat Qin Yi up and let them return to their master's side.

After Qin Meiyu finished speaking, she bent down and picked up Qin Yi with her hand before walking back to her seat.

Li Qiankun, Cheng Chumo, and Zhangsun Chong had been staring at Qin Meiyu's actions until Qin Yi waved to them that he was safe. Only then did they return to their father's side.

When everyone was seated, Second Emperor Li ordered Qin Yi to explain the importance of salt to his friends.

"Qin brat, with your medical skills, you should know the consequences of lacking salt. Then, explain it to these little ones.”

Qin Yi followed Second Emperor Li's instructions and explained to his friends why salt was so important.

"Salt is an indispensable thing in the human body.”

"If the human body lacks salt, it will feel tired, weak, dizzy, nauseous, and unable to eat. In serious cases, it will even be life-threatening.”

"To put it simply, people must eat salt. A lack of salt will cause people to be weak and their physical fitness to decline.”

After listening to Qin Yi's explanation, Li Qiankun and the other three understood how important salt was.

Seeing that the children had already understood the importance of salt, Second Emperor Li questioned Qin Yi in a stern tone.

"Brat Qin, do you know that our Great Tang is in dire need of salt? The salt we currently produce is simply not enough to supply the needs of the army and the people. Since you know the importance of salt, you should understand how inappropriate your words on the street were.”

"Alright, I know I was wrong. I apologize to everyone here. I really shouldn't have spoken nonsense and caused chaos on the street, but I really didn't do it on purpose.”

Qin Yi was just too shocked at that time. Now, he sincerely apologized to everyone for what he had unintentionally caused.

Qin Meiyu saw that Qin Yi indeed knew his mistake, but after thinking about it, she decided to add fuel to the fire so that Qin Yi would have a deep impression of today's matter.

"Yi, you have to know that the Tang Empire has just calmed down from the war. Due to the low production of salt and the inconvenience of transportation, the troops defending the Tang Empire haven't eaten salt for one to three years.”

"Since the salt that is currently being sold cannot satisfy the Great Tang's demand for salt for various reasons, aren't there many salt mines in the Great Tang?”

Hearing Qin Meiyu's words, Qin Yi understood the extent of the Great Tang's salt shortage and asked everyone in confusion.

He paused for a moment and continued.

"Then why don't you mine the salt mines and use the salt in the mines to satisfy the Great Tang's demand for salt?”

"The salt in the salt mine is bittern salt, and bittern salt is poisonous and will kill people. Poisonous salt can't be used for people to eat. This is common knowledge, kid Qin, don't you even know this?”

Lord Zhangsun teased Qin Yi cheerfully.

The rest of the people present nodded in agreement with Lord Zhangsun's words. Their eyes were filled with ridicule as they looked at Qin Yi.

"What you're saying is nonsense. Of course I know that the salt is poisonous.”

Qin Yi rolled his eyes at Lord Zhangsun's teasing. Facing everyone's mocking gazes, he directly opened his mouth and rebuked everyone.

Then, Qin Yi pretended to be very excited and told everyone.

"Do you know that as long as the salt is processed, the toxic parts will be removed.”

"As long as the toxic salt is removed, it will become edible salt. This way, the Great Tang will no longer lack salt.”

After Qin Yi finished speaking, he looked at everyone with bright eyes and realized that everyone present was stunned.

After a while, Qin Meiyu was the first to come back to her senses. She quickly pulled Qin Yi into her arms.

He lifted Qin Yi up with both hands and let Qin Yi face him. Qin Meiyu stared into Qin Yi's eyes and said slowly, word by word.

"Yi, is it true that the salt can be eaten after some processing?”

"Since you can tell me how to make salt, then you must know the process of making salt.”

Qin Yi gave Qin Meiyu a confident smile and told her resolutely that he knew how to make salt.

"Uncle, of course I know how to make salt. As long as you follow my method, you can make edible salt. I guarantee that what I said is true.”

"Uncle, believe me. I've never let you down, have I?”# Date:09 27 2019 12:30PM
