In the palace, Li Si and the other two watched Brother Zheng and Meng Tian return.
He immediately stood up to welcome them.
"Your Majesty!"
Brother Zheng waved his hand and said,"Let's talk inside."”
The few of them followed Brother Zheng back to the palace.
Li Si could not wait and asked on the way,""Your Majesty, may I ask how the sweet potatoes in the Song Manor are growing? Did they really grow seedlings?"
Meng Yi and Wang Jian also held their breaths and focused their attention as they pricked up their ears.
Brother Zheng said slowly," There are indeed seedlings, but we can't tell how many there are. I advise you not to have too much hope. If it's just the production of ordinary grain, wouldn't it be a waste of hope?”
This was also Brother Zheng's inner thoughts. He was just looking at the sweet potatoes that Song Yuan mentioned.
Li Si and the other two were also enlightened. Now that they thought about it, they were indeed a little bewitched. After all, it was impossible to tell just from a little bit that the yield per mu was 2000 catties and 6000 catties.
Brother Zheng saw that the three of them had come to a realization and took out a bottle of refined salt at the right time. Then, he said,"Alright, stop thinking about the sweet potatoes. Let's take a look at this thing first!”
Li Si and the other two immediately calmed down and looked at the vase in Brother Zheng's hand seriously.
Inside the bottle was a pool of white.
The three of them were puzzled and looked at each other. They could not see what was inside the earthen bottle at all.
After a while, Meng Yi scratched his head and said,"Your Majesty, is that snow in your bottle? But it didn't snow in Xianyang today.”
"Hahaha!"
Brother Zheng laughed. He had guessed that these people would treat the refined salt as white snow.
When the three of them saw His Majesty laughing out loud, they were confused again.
Meng Yi was even more puzzled. His Majesty seemed to be in a good mood today? He even looked at Meng Tian for help.
Meng Tian looked down and pretended not to know anything.
After a while, Brother Zheng said,"Since you can't guess, I'll be merciful and tell you that this thing is not white snow, but refined salt!”
Refined salt?
Salt?
This thing is salt?
Your Majesty, are you sure you're not teasing us?
Li Si and the other two were dumbfounded as they looked at the pure white salt in the jar.
How could this be salt?
Brother Zheng looked at the three people's doubtful expressions and said,"Why don't you give it a try!"
Meng Yi was bolder. He reached his hand in and dipped a little before putting it into his mouth.
“！”
It was really salt! However, the salty taste was too pure, and there was no peculiar smell at all!
"How is it?"
Wang Jian hurriedly asked when he saw Meng Yi's expression change continuously.
Meng Yi once again thought about it and then said,"It's really salt, and the quality of this salt is even better than the ones in the palace!”
Wang Jian was surprised. He also tried it and immediately clicked his tongue in wonder.
Seeing this, Li Si could not hold it in anymore. He took a bite and asked curiously,""Your Majesty, where did this refined salt come from?”
Since Brother Zheng had decided to be Song Yuan's salt smuggler, he naturally wouldn't hide it.
He said," This refined salt belongs to the Song Clan. Song Yuan invented a new salt production method. He can produce the refined salt in front of us at the cost of refining coarse salt!”
Li Si and the others were shocked. Song Yuan invented salt?
However, when they thought of the various inventions they had made before, they felt relieved. After all, it was Song Yuan, an old inventor.
Li Si looked at the refined salt in the bottle and thought of the white wine from before, so he asked,""Your Majesty, why does Song Yuan want to make refined salt? Is he going to sell it privately?"
Brother Zheng smiled." As expected of my Prime Minister. Li Si was right. That kid made refined salt to sell privately."”
The three of them were slightly dazed.
This was another matter of losing their heads, but His Majesty had brought refined salt into the palace and even introduced it to them.
It didn't seem that simple.
Moreover, the refined salt in front of them was indeed much better than the coarse salt. If they could choose, they would choose refined salt.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to help Song Yuan sell it?" Li Si asked.”
Brother Zheng nodded." This kid is short of money now, and the refined salt is not bad. Naturally, I'll help him sell it."”
"Is he short of money again? I bought a hundred bottles of wine yesterday!"
Wang Jian blew his beard and glared. Song Yuan earned so much money from white wine, so why was he still short of money?
Li Si and Meng Yi were also curious.
Brother Zheng started to explain, telling him about the steel factory and other things.
Li Si and the other two were shocked again. Song Yuan was really full of ideas, and they were all very meticulous. He was really following the development of the rebellion!
At the same time, they were also looking forward to the new steel that Song Yuan had mentioned. After all, Song Yuan had taken out refined salt to pave the way.
Compared to this new steel, it would not be much worse.
Brother Zheng also sighed and said,"This kid is very shrewd. The refined salt and steel are both things from Guan Shanhai. He took out these two things not only for development, but also so that after he becomes emperor, he can rely on these two things to continue collecting taxes!”
Li Si and the other two were enlightened. Song Yuan really had a far-reaching vision. He was a good seedling for rebellion!
After sighing with emotion.
Brother Zheng also put away the refined salt and said,"But at least for now, Song Yuan's refined salt will only benefit my court, just like the curved plow and waterwheel!”
"Your Majesty is brilliant!"
Li Si began to flatter, and the others echoed.
Brother Zheng enjoyed it very much. His tiger eyes narrowed. After a while, he asked,"Speaking of the Quyuan Li, Li Si, how is the promotion of the Quyuan Li going?”
