Xianyang Palace.
In the palace in the northeast corner.
This was the palace where Huhai lived.
Because he was the youngest son and the First Emperor doted on him, he could live in the palace until now.
At this moment.
Huhai's face was dark and terrifying. His tender face was twisted.
Ever since the court meeting that day, he had not been allowed to attend the court meeting at the Qilin Palace. It had been three days since then.
The reason for all this was Chen Beixuan.
"Damn it!"
"Why would Imperial Father be so partial to a guy of unknown origins? He even let him live in Epang Palace. Even I don't have the right to do so.”
"It's all because of this damn guy! He deliberately made me lose face in the court and embarrassed me in front of Imperial Father and the civil and military officials.”
Huhai became even angrier when he thought of what had happened that day.
He blamed everything on Chen Beixuan's appearance and cleared his name.
Huhai was not wrong to think that Chen Beixuan was the cause of all these problems.
"Haha…"
"Young Master, why are you so furious?”
Footsteps sounded.
Zhao Gao slowly walked up to Huhai with a gloomy face.
"Teacher."
"How is Father today? Did you order me to attend the court meeting tomorrow?”
The moment he saw Zhao Gao, Huhai was also delighted and quickly approached him.
"No, His Majesty has been busy with state affairs recently and has not mentioned this matter.”
The smile on Huhai's face froze, and his face turned dark and ugly.
"Young Master, you don't have to worry too much. You should know that His Majesty has always doted on you. Among the eighteen young masters, only you are still living in this palace.”
Seeing Huhai's unhappy face, Zhao Gao comforted him with a smile.
"However, Imperial Father did not allow me to participate in the court meeting, which means that Imperial Father is still dissatisfied with me.”
" It's all Chen Beixuan's fault," Huhai said coldly." It's all because of him."”
"Young Master."
" Chen Beixuan is favored by His Majesty, and even I have been implicated in Xu Fu's case. I don't want to provoke him for now."”
Zhao Gao quickly reminded Huhai not to provoke Chen Beixuan.
Otherwise…
With Huhai's cleverness, Chen Beixuan would probably eat him up.
"Teacher, are you afraid of him too? Are we going to let him do whatever he wants to us?”
Hearing Zhao Gao's warning, Huhai became even angrier.
"A little forbearance will ruin the great plan!"
"Young Master, you must remember that a momentary loss does not mean anything. The one who can laugh until the end is the true king.”
" Chen Beixuan is in the limelight right now, and His Majesty favors him a lot. If we attack him now, we'll only be asking for trouble. When his limelight dies down, we might not even have the chance to attack him.”
"Master, do you mean that the others want to deal with Chen Beixuan?”
Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Huhai's eyes lit up with joy.
"The trees in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!"
……
……
Xianyang Palace.
In the royal study.
"Your Majesty."
" Today, we will produce 500 plows and 10 waterwheels, spending a total of 32,500 coins…"
" The governor of Sanchuan Prefecture, Li You, wrote a letter saying that there was a flood in Sanchuan Prefecture. The national treasury spent 120,000 dollars and 350,000 dan of grain…"
"Si Water County…"
Shi Teng was reporting to Ying Zheng about the expenditure of the national treasury in the past few days.
To put it simply, other than reporting his work, Nesten's main purpose was to cry about his poverty.
He had no choice.
It was the spring plowing season, and money was needed everywhere. Making the curved shaft plow and waterwheel required a large amount of money, and there were floods everywhere.
All in all.
The national treasury was already unable to make ends meet and was on the verge of collapse. He needed the First Emperor to think of a solution.
"Alright."
"Zhen already knows about this matter. Zhen will think of a way.”
Ying Zheng waved his hand, feeling a headache coming on, gesturing for Internal Affairs Shi Teng to leave.
Money! Money! Money!
How could he not know about the problem of the national treasury being empty? However, he had already tightened his belt and was doing his best to increase income and reduce expenditure. What else could he do?
"Perhaps…the emperor's teacher has a way?”
Ying Zheng rubbed his head and suddenly thought of his Imperial Teacher, Chen Beixuan.
Since he dared to boast that he would be responsible for the lives of more than 200,000 prisoners of Mount Li, he must have a way to earn money. Then why didn't he ask him for help?
That's why.
Ying Zheng hastily examined and approved the memorial, and then went straight to Epang Palace.
……
Epang Palace.
Dragon Pool Pavilion.
Chen Beixuan was repeating his boring cultivation life.
What was worth mentioning was that after a few days of hard work, he had successfully advanced to the second layer of the foundation establishment stage.
Not only that.
He had also mastered one of the abilities of the Foundation Establishment Stage, which was to compress the spiritual energy in the air into spiritual energy water.
Although he could only condense one drop per day, and the effect was slightly inferior to the system reward, it was still better than many elixirs.
It was a good choice to use it to refine the Beauty Pill or as a reward.
"Imperial Teacher."
"The refined salt has been refined."
Chief Eunuch Li Er pushed open the door and rushed in with an excited expression.
That was refined salt!
Moreover, it was not the crude salt refined from seawater, but the refined salt refined from a publicly recognized salt mine.
Salt mines were poisonous. This was a truth that even fools understood!
Back then, Chen Beixuan had ordered 40,000 people to reclaim the mineral salt and bring it all back, saying that he wanted to refine salt that was more refined than the official salt.
Such a move was undoubtedly crazy in everyone's eyes. No one was optimistic about him.
But the result was a slap to everyone's face!
According to the emperor teacher's method, they continuously dissolved, evaporated, and purified the salt mine. After repeating this process repeatedly, they actually refined salt, and it was dozens of times more refined than official salt.
Not only was it as white as snow, but it also did not taste bitter or poisonous.
This meant that they could really extract edible salt from the poisonous salt mine!
"I've finally refined it. Looks like another huge wave of rewards has arrived.”
Chen Beixuan grinned.
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host for successfully refining refined salt, which has greatly strengthened Great Qin's national fate. Fine quality pork x100, white sugar making process, spiritual water x5.”
