"Is that true?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was filled with disbelief!
There was no need to say more about the importance of salt!
The two lifeblood of the feudal era were salt and iron!
In the past dynasties, no matter how rich the salt production was, it could not reach the point where everyone could not eat it all!
A large part of the reason was that there were not enough naturally grown salt mines. Every dynasty had to eat salt. After mining and mining, by the Ming Dynasty, the salt production was not as good as before!
Although the purification and mining technology had become more mature due to the development of the times, it was still limited to salt mining and the extremely simple salt drying technology. The salt production was greatly insufficient!
Although the world was at peace now, with Zhu Yuanzhang's tough methods of punishing corrupt officials, the lives of the common people had improved further!
But eating salt was still a big problem!
It was fine near the salt production area, but the commoners could eat low-quality salt!
However, far away from the salt production area, the people were still jealous of the salt stones!
Every year, there were countless deformed children due to lack of salt!
Big Ming, how could he not lack salt?
It was also because of the insufficient production of salt that the illegal salt dealers were even more rampant!
For all these reasons, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not take it seriously?
If it was really as Zhang Che said, producing salt that no one in the world could ever finish eating, that was already something Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't imagine!
Old Zhu was a true beggar, and because of this, he knew the difficulties of the common people better than anyone else!
Eating salt was a mountain that had been pressing down on the commoners for two thousand years!
Now, a young man had actually arrogantly said that he could move and split open this mountain!
"Why should I lie to Father? This is the refining method. If father doesn't believe me, he can give it a try!”After saying that, Zhang Che took out a piece of brocade cloth from his bosom!
Zhang Che didn't really care about the salt and iron business. In the feudal era, anyone who touched it would die, with almost no consequences...
As such, Zhang Che had planned to give up this technique right from the start.
If he couldn't keep up with the production, it was easy for him to lose his head. If he gave it away, it would be equivalent to earning a free pass. Zhang Che naturally knew what was more important!
Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously took the brocade cloth and looked at it!
Although Mr. Zhu was born a beggar, decades had passed, and he was more or less a cultured person now. Although Zhang Che was using modern grammar, Mr. Zhu could understand it!
The more Lao Zhu watched, the more he felt that Zhang Che's technique wasn't made up!
However, this method was unprecedented. Even if Old Zhu had not seen it before, he could not be sure!
This was salt!
If this technique was real, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the art of turning stone into gold!
"Come over and take a look!"
Old Zhu called out to Zhu Biao, wanting him to take a look, but there was no response!
He turned around and saw Zhu Biao's face turning yellow. His breathing was heavy, and beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead. His body was also on the verge of collapse!
"Not good, the carbuncle on my back is acting up!"
Zhang Che also noticed his big brother's condition. He quickly rushed forward to support him!
"Father! Go get some water!" Zhang Che shouted anxiously!
A small problem like a carbuncle on the back was unbearable for people with weak resistance, especially in ancient times. Although it would not be fatal for a while, the pain was unbearable for ordinary people!
Zhu Yuanzhang panicked for a moment and hurriedly went to get some water. Zhang Che, on the other hand, started rummaging through his big brother's sleeves!
After rummaging through it a few times, he found the medicine bottle that he had just handed to his brother!
"Big brother, open your mouth! She'll be fine after taking the medicine!" Zhang Che took the water from Old Zhu!
Zhu Biao was already in so much pain that he couldn't even speak. However, he was still conscious. When he heard the sound, he opened his mouth slightly!
A pill was stuffed into Zhu Biao's mouth by Zhang Che, and a bowl of water was served!
"Swallow it!"
Zhu Biao was like a man who had fallen into the water. He only listened to Zhang Che's words and swallowed the medicine with his last bit of strength, and his body went limp!
"How is it? How's his condition?" Seeing his son's body go limp, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly held him up and questioned Zhang Che!
"It's fine. The carbuncle on my back has been repeating for too long.”After saying that, Zhang Che looked around and recalled that there weren't any clocks in this era!
"Wait for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. The medicinal effects will take effect and the situation will improve!”
"Seriously, I've already given you the medicine. Why didn't you take one first?”Zhang Che frowned!
This medicine was a gift he had specially prepared for his eldest brother, whom he had never met before. He had been so busy bragging that he had forgotten to let his eldest brother take the medicine first!
"Dad, take the Donkey-hide Gel-replenishing Pill. One pill a day to replenish your blood essence and prolong your life! Don't be like big brother!"
As he spoke, the medicine had taken effect. Zhu Biao's complexion improved a lot, and the pain subsided. Zhu Biao's strength returned, and he slowly stood up by pressing the table!
"This medicine is actually so magical?" Zhu Biao was pleasantly surprised!
"Little brother's medical skills are indeed exquisite!"
One had to know that this was an illness that even the imperial doctors were helpless about. When it acted up, they could only forcefully resist it. Now, with a single pill, it actually directly cured the illness?
Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little dumbfounded…
Just a moment ago, he was on the verge of death, but in the blink of an eye, his son stood up again!
Was it that magical?
As expected of the divine doctor's last disciple, his medical skills were indeed superb!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang began to plan how to find an excuse to let this kid treat his wife!
As the saying went, once an expert made a move, one would know if there was anything. If this kid could cure so many illnesses that the imperial physicians were helpless against with just one pill, then it wasn't impossible for him to cure his wife, Empress Ma!
This kid could be considered to have treated him as his biological father now. There would not be anything that would rather die than submit. This was good news!
Otherwise, this kid would rather die than cure his illness. He wouldn't even be able to accept it if he were to exchange it for Zhu Yuanzhang!
But…
Before he came, he had investigated and found out that this kid's mother had passed away when he was born!
How could he speak to this kid?
