"In other words, Lan Yu and this group of Huaixi generals will only support the imperial grandson born of the Chang family to be the emperor!”
"However, the eldest grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiongying, has passed away, and the second grandson, Zhu Yunyan, is a dull person. He is not fit to be an emperor at all!”
"In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang can only make Zhu Yunwen, the son of Concubine Lu, the imperial grandson!“
Zhu Ci 'an glanced at Lan Yu and asked with a smile.
"If you were the Duke of Liang, would you support Zhu Yunwen, who is not your blood relative, as the emperor?”
The moment these words came out, Lan Yu's expression changed drastically, and his pupils constricted!
His legs were weak, and he immediately slipped from the chair and fell to the ground.
Clang!
Feng Sheng, who was beside him, was also pale. He was so scared that he sat on the ground like a pile of mud.
The two of them looked at each other, and a terrifying thought rose in their hearts. Was this the end? Seeing this scene, Zhu Ci 'an couldn't help but ask,""What are you two doing?"
Lan Yu's face was filled with fear. Her lips were trembling, and she could not even speak.
Feng Sheng could barely speak, but he said with a trembling voice, Young Master, we've been sitting here for too long…My legs are numb again…"
Zhu Cian sighed.
Sigh…
The physical fitness of these two guards was not good either!
It had only been a short while, but her legs were numb again.
It seemed that he would have to train a strong guard later.
"Then the two of you can stand up and slowly move.”
At this moment, a servant outside the door shouted,""Young Master, the thing you wanted is done!”
"Old man, sit down. I'll go out and take a look!”
Then, Zhu Cian ran out excitedly without waiting for Grandpa's reply.
Zhu Yuanzhang watched as he disappeared through the door. The majesty of an emperor was instantly revealed. He said coldly,"Did you hear what Cian said?”
In the hall, Lan Yu and Feng Sheng knelt on the ground!
"Your Majesty, we have no selfish motives!"
"This Great Ming Dynasty, no matter who it is in the hands of, we will do our best to assist!”
"If you don't have any selfish motives, why are you kneeling?" Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.”
Lan Yu was so frightened that cold sweat poured down her body like rain. She hurriedly said,"Your Majesty, I…"
But before he could finish, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and interrupted him,"I'll punish you with a few years of salary and you'll be grounded in the residence for eight days. In the future, you better behave yourself, or else…"
He didn't say everything.
Lan Yu was shocked!
Although it was only a few years of salary, if his niece-in-law, Zhu Biao, really died, the next punishment would be…
However, once the decree was issued, he did not dare to disobey, so he hurriedly said,"I, Lan Yu, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Feng Sheng also knelt on the ground as if he had been pardoned. He kowtowed like pounding garlic.
At this moment, Zhu Cian's excited shout came from outside the door.""Old man, come quickly. I'll show you something good!”
"Sigh, what a great grandson! Grandpa is here!"
Zhu Yuanzhang led the two of them out of the hall.
There were a few big pots in the courtyard, and the servants had already refined the salt according to Zhu Ci 'an's instructions.
In the big pot, salt grains as thin as white sand and as white as snow filled the entire pot.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked closer and was dumbfounded when he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar salt grains!
"Cian, what did you do…"
"Old man, try it and you'll know.”
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but touch it with his hand and lick it gently.
Salty!
It was salt!
In an instant, he was so excited that his entire body trembled."This is…salt? And it's high-grade refined salt?"
However, Zhu Cian shook his head and said,""No, it's just crude salt that has just been refined.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was so shocked that he almost fell down. He blurted out,"Cian, are you crazy? You call this coarse salt?!”
This was the first time he had seen such a grain of salt!
At this moment, Da Ming's highest quality salt was the size of a longan. It also had a bitter taste when it entered his mouth.
However, the few pots of salt in front of him were as thin as white sand!
The taste that entered his mouth was pure saltiness!
In the end, Cian actually said that it was just coarse salt?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly asked,""Cian, tell us, how…how did you make this coarse salt?”
"It's from rock salt."
"What?"
"You can even get salt of this quality from rock salt?”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized something and his face darkened."No, rock salt is poisonous! You little bastard, are you trying to kill your grandpa?”Blue Jade and Blue Jade's expressions changed drastically!
Was this grandson crazy? How dare he poison His Majesty?
Zhu Cian rolled his eyes at him and said,""You're my grandfather. Why would I harm you? This salt was non-toxic. If you didn't believe it, you could just look at the sea!”
"The sea?"
"That's right. He's already eaten half a catty. If the poison had taken effect, he would have died long ago!”
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and felt his scalp go numb!
Butler Dahai was holding a large handful of salt in his hands and licking it with his tongue, looking like he was enjoying it.
"This salt is really delicious!"
"Young Master's method is actually real, this old servant is convinced!”
Zhu Ci 'an glanced at him and kindly reminded him,""Don't eat anymore. If you eat too much, you might get hoarse.”
Dahai didn't listen at all. Instead, he said happily,""Young Master, I've never eaten such fragrant salt in my life. This old servant wants to eat as much as I can!”
"Forget it, I don't care about you anymore! If you die from eating it, I won't bury you!”
Zhu Cian rolled his eyes helplessly.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang asked," Ci 'an, the salt in these pots should be at least seven to eight hundred catties. How much does it cost to refine it?"”
"A hundred coins!" Zhu Ci 'an laughed.
There was a thud.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the ground in shock!
"Old man, are you alright?" Zhu Ci 'an hurried forward.”
The Blue Jade duo at the side also reacted and exclaimed,"Master!"
With their combined efforts, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said awkwardly,""I sat in the hall for too long just now and my legs are numb.”
Although he said that, he was extremely excited in his heart.
The best sea green salt on the market was a few hundred copper coins per catty.
The reason why it was so expensive was because the cost of refining and transporting salt was extremely high, and the salt tax was also high!
But now, with a cost of 100 wen, he could refine so much salt. Moreover, without the link of bad luck, he could refine it around the Ying Tian Prefecture. Didn't this mean that the price of salt would plummet and that everyone would be able to afford salt?
What kind of golden age would that be!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a red face,"Cian, does this mean that we can also do the salt business?”
"Yes!"
"But the problem is…"
Zhu Ci 'an glanced at his grandpa and asked,""Old man, do you have any connections with the Salt and Iron Transportation Company?”
"Don't worry, Eldest Sun. We have this!"
"Alright! Old man, I'll give you the method to make salt later. Go find a place to make a few thousand catties as soon as possible!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment." Ci 'an, are you giving us the method just like that?" he asked.”
