"I almost forgot, Imperial Father. Your son has brought something for you to take a look!" Yang Yi smiled at Yang Guang.”
Yang Guang was startled, then he smiled and said,"What did Yi prepare?"”
Yang Yi smiled and said to the eunuch beside him,"Bring it in."
"Yes, Your Highness," the eunuch replied respectfully.”
After a while.
The eunuch brought two people in.
The two of them were carrying a load with a basket hanging from it.
Yang Guang and Empress Xiao were stunned.
This was…?
Yang Yi walked to the basket and smiled."Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, please take a look!"
He removed the silk cloth from the basket, revealing the jar inside.
Yang Yi opened the jar and saw white salt inside!
Yang Guang took a closer look and was shocked. His face was filled with surprise. This is salt?"
He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and his dignified face could not hide the shock." Yi 'er went to the Jianghuai area to purify salt. Could this be the refined salt that Yi' er made?”
"That's right, Imperial Father is right!" Yang Yi smiled.”
Although Empress Xiao was a noble empress who was the mother of the world, she knew what salt meant to the people and the court!
When Yang Guang received Yang Yi's affirmative answer, his heart trembled violently!
He quickly picked up a pinch of salt and looked at it carefully for a long time before sighing,"This salt is as pure as the special tribute salt from the palace. The cost must be extremely high.”
The corners of Yang Yi's mouth curled up." Father is wrong this time. The cost of this salt is extremely low. It's even easier to produce than the ordinary salt on the market. The efficiency is higher."
Yang Guang's heart shook violently. Of course, he trusted his son very much!
But at this moment, he still found it unbelievable!
This was an extremely high-quality salt, but its cost was actually lower than the ordinary salt on the market?
Yang Guang couldn't care less about his dignity. He said excitedly,"What method did Yi 'er use to actually be able to produce such high quality salt!”
Yang Yi smiled slightly and then roughly described the method of sunning salt.
Yang Guang listened very carefully. His expression kept changing.
After a long time, Yang Guang sighed," I see. Yi 'er is really a genius!”
A complicated expression appeared on his stern face." Good, good, good. If this refined salt is circulated in the market, it will be enough to squeeze out all the coarse salt markets…"
Although Yang Guang liked to enjoy himself, he was not a fool.
Of course, he could see some of Great Sui's worries. However, he was already deeply mired in the mud and could not pull himself out at all.
He did not expect that the son he found would give him a huge surprise.
"Imperial Father, your son gave this salt a name. It's called Snow Salt!" Yang Yi smiled.”
" It's a good name," Yang Guang said after chewing it carefully." Snowflake Salt. It lives up to its name."”
Yang Yi's eyes revealed a smile." Imperial Father, your son thinks that the price of this snow salt should be the same as ordinary salt. If it's directly sold by the government, the price will remain stable, and ordinary people will be able to afford it.”
Rice, salt, and the like were necessities in the lives of the people.
If the price of these things was too high, it would cause great pressure on the lives of the people.
Therefore, if there were unscrupulous rice merchants or salt merchants who raised the price, it would easily cause unrest.
Yang Guang thought so deeply. He pondered and said,"Yi 'er is right. However, now that all the salt ponds have been taken back, it is inevitable that some officials will be greedy.”
Yang Yi sneered, his handsome face carrying a trace of killing intent." Your son thinks that we can establish a supervision mechanism to supervise the salt officials. If there are corrupt people, they will be executed with the death penalty…"
This snow salt was an important means for him to maintain his finances.
Why was Jiangdu the wealthiest city in the country?
It was all because of the large number of salt merchants that distributed salt to the whole country.
Yang Guang was not a soft-hearted person. He said in a deep voice,"Yi 'er is right. Zhen will immediately issue a decree that these officials must be intimidated with heavy punishment."
Empress Xiao said angrily," Alright, alright. Can't you two father and son talk about other things when you're together? You're always killing each other. Yi 'er, how's your relationship with that Zhangsun Clan's young lady?”
The corner of Yang Yi's mouth twitched. He met Yang Guang and Empress Xiao's gazes and said with a bitter smile,"Why is mother asking about this again? Your son is handsome and graceful. Is there any woman who doesn't like him?”
"That's right. My son is the most outstanding man in the world. Anyone can climb up to him." Yang Guang laughed loudly.”
Empress Xiao glared at Yang Guang and then smiled at Yang Yi,"Mother and Xianyu have met a few more times. Gao Shilian will be back very soon. Your marriage is also approaching. You can start preparing for the Eastern Palace."
Yang Yi was stunned." Lingnan is so far away, but Gao Shilian is back so soon?”
Empress Xiao smiled." There's still about a month's journey. Find another auspicious day. It's estimated that you'll be married within three months."”
The corners of Yang Yi's mouth twitched. There was still so much time, and they were going to set up the Eastern Palace now?
He smiled bitterly." Mother, isn't it too early? There's no hurry to worry about this matter after a period of time."”
"Early?" Empress Xiao said matter-of-factly.! It's not early at all. As the Crown Prince, your marriage is a joyous occasion. You must definitely prepare well.”
Yang Yi was speechless.
Although he felt that Empress Xiao was making a mountain out of a molehill, Empress Xiao's concern for him was not fake. Yang Yi was still somewhat touched in his heart.
Yang Guang stroked his beard and said with a smile," Just pass down some instructions. Yi 'er, you don't have to do everything yourself. Leave it to your subordinates. If you lack manpower, Father still has some talents that can be used."”
"Your son understands…" Yang Yi smiled.
He suddenly remembered the letter he had sent out back then. It should have arrived by now.
