The palace is extremely efficient.
A group of craftsmen officially started making salt under the arrangement of Zhu Gaochi.
Although this was their first time, Prince Master kept the operation in mind, so it went very smoothly.
Zhu Di and the other three did not leave, quietly observing the entire salt-making process and chatting from time to time.
"Monk, you are a scholar of heaven and man, and you are well versed in Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Have you ever heard of refining mineral salt?"
Zhu Di was also a little unsure, so he asked the question to the eminent monk Daoyan.
Monk Daoyan's triangular eyes narrowed, thinking about the memories in his mind, and finally shook his head with a wry smile.
"Your Majesty, maybe this poor monk has little knowledge and has never heard of it."
Mineral salt is poisonous salt and will kill people!
This understanding is deeply rooted in people's hearts, so no one cares about it.
In fact, until now, Monk Dao Yan still didn't quite believe that the prince could really refine the poisonous salt.
After all, this is too outrageous!
If it can really be done, how come there are so many sages and wise men throughout the ages who can’t do it?
Is it possible that the Su Yang mentioned by the prince is smarter, shrewder and more knowledgeable than the sages of history?
Why can't others do it and you are the only one who can?
This is simply impossible!
Zhu Di was asking for trouble. He glanced at the thief monk angrily, and then looked at Jin Zhong.
"Chang Shi, can you do some divination for me? Are the hexagrams good or bad?"
Jin Zhong studied when he was young, was good at "Yi", and was proficient in the art of divination. Zhu Di was convinced of this and would ask Jin Zhong to divination good or bad fortune whenever he made a major decision.
Hearing this, Jin Zhong was a little dumbfounded. The results would be out soon. Is there any need for divination?
Just when he was about to take out the food and perform divination according to the king's orders, the exclamations of the craftsmen suddenly came from the distance.
"Salt!"
"What a salt!"
"Oh my God!"
"This mineral salt can really be refined!"
When Zhu Di and the other three heard this movement, their hearts suddenly shook, and they subconsciously looked at each other!
Could it be that... it was really successful?
Zhu Di strode forward and saw that the iron pot was covered with layers of crystal clear snowflake salt!
At this moment, the big fat man was standing beside him triumphantly, and said with a smile: "Father, you are lucky to have lived up to your destiny!"
Jin Zhong and Dao Yan looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time!
He actually succeeded!
So what kind of peerless genius is Su Yang?
Rao is as knowledgeable as Dao Yan in black, but he is also a little confused at this moment.
The poisonous mineral salt has really turned into snowflake salt worth thousands of dollars!
Su Yang!
What a genius!
Be sure to meet me in the future!
This ability to turn waste into treasure is truly amazing!
The slap in the face came so quickly that it was hard to guard against it!
I wonder what Su Yang would think if he knew that he was being targeted by the black prime minister Yao Guangxiao.
Jin Zhong reacted the fastest. He immediately fell to his knees and shouted excitedly: "God bless King Yan!"
Everyone also reacted and fell to their knees.
"God bless King Yan!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh loudly, and the depression in his heart was swept away!
You must know that what is placed in front of him now is not a pot of salt, but a mountain of gold and silver, but Zhu Di's grand hegemony!
"Your Majesty, there are many salt mines in Beiping Mansion. We should arrange for manpower to mine them immediately!"
"With these snowflakes and salt, money and food will no longer be a problem. Those merchants will take risks!"
"It should be so, but this matter must be kept strictly confidential and no one is allowed to leak the news!"
Jin Zhong and Dao Yan gave suggestions one after another and did their job as counselors.
Zhu Di suppressed his smile and nodded with deep understanding.
"Block the news!"
"All craftsmen and their families will be accommodated in the palace!"
"Jin Changshi, you will be solely responsible for making and selling salt. Don't let me down!"
Jin Zhong accepted the order with a bang.
Although the imperial court has now cut off the food supply channels of Beiping Mansion, as long as there is enough money, some people will naturally take risks!
Money can make all the difference!
Wealth can lead to the gods!
The prince was a little unhappy.
He also wanted to take matters into his own hands and do his part for the palace.
Zhu Di glanced at Big Fatty and motioned for him to follow him.
The father and son came to the study and sat down respectively.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Di spoke quietly.
"How is Su Yang doing?"
"A very strange person, I can't see through him!"
Zhu Gaochi answered honestly.
"This man is not only good at craftsmanship, but also proficient in the art of making salt, but he regards money as dirt."
"When my son asked him for the salt-making skills, he clearly pointed out the value of this thing. But instead of asking for it, Su Yang just asked for the five pounds of salt according to the market price, and directly offered to use it as a wedding gift. Xiaowan’s betrothal gift!”
"If it were just these, that would be enough, but he, Su Yang, only speculated on the situation in the world based on the rise in grain prices in Peiping and the deposed King Yan of Zhou, saying that his father was secretly hoarding grain and grass, and the imperial court cut off the grain and grass supply in Peiping to counterattack! "
"What?" Zhu Di was a little moved.
It sounds like Su Yang is really no ordinary refugee!
How could a refugee and untouchable have such knowledge?
"After getting along with him, I feel that this Su Yang is... an expert hermit who works hard and enjoys Taoism!"
hermit!
Master!
Zhu Di was a little stunned.
He didn't expect that the boss would speak so highly of Su Yang!
The boss of my family is not an ignorant fool. On the contrary, he has been studying hard and gaining far-reaching knowledge.
He can give such a high evaluation, I think Su Yang is really outstanding.
His son-in-law, Zhu Di, cannot be an unworthy homeless man!
Thinking this way, Zhu Di felt better in his heart.
"How is Xiaowan's illness?"
"Su Yang nursed her back to health, and now she doesn't cough much anymore."
Zhu Di's expression softened slightly when he heard this. It seemed that Su Yang really had some merits.
"So, is Su Yang good to Xiaowan?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi's expression suddenly became strange.
Zhu Di's face darkened when he saw this, and he said angrily: "What? He still dares to bully Xiaowan?"
"No!" Big Fatty smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But Su Yang is just too good to Xiao Wan!"
"Not only does he work hard to earn money to support his family, but he also has to do laundry and cooking when he comes home. He doesn't let Xiaowan do anything!"
"In my lifetime, I have never heard of a man doting on his wife like this!"
Big Fatty observed carefully for a day. Su Yang really loved Xiaowan and was really good to Xiaowan!
And this girl Xiaowan is really living a happy life now.
In my impression, since Xiaowan contracted tuberculosis, she has been hiding in her room all day long, crying, and not even a smile can be seen.
But he saw with his own eyes in Fangshan that his sister seemed to be cured of her illness and returned to her previous lively and lovely appearance.
This is the most important thing!
Otherwise, Zhu Gaochi would have asked the secret guards to take action!
Zhu Di: "..."
Forehead!
Awkward!
So sloppy!
Still an infatuated person!
After asking two simple questions, the anger in Zhu Di's heart gradually dissipated.
Su Yang is not only talented, but he is also incredibly kind to his own Xiaowan. Faced with such a son-in-law, no one can find fault with him.
It's just that His Highness Prince Yan is still a little unhappy, and he always feels that his heart is filled with panic.
"Then does Su Yang know Xiaowan's identity?"
"He doesn't know. He even thinks that Xiaowan is the daughter of everyone who is being persecuted. He calls us worse than pigs and dogs!"
Are they worse than pigs or dogs?
How dare he call me worse than a pig or a dog?
Zhu Di slapped the desk, stared and shouted: "Didn't you explain clearly?"
"Xiao Wan won't let your son explain!" Big Fatty looked aggrieved.
He wanted to explain, but the girl was threatening him with gritted teeth!
Zhu Di sighed dejectedly and slumped down on the chair.
He understood very well that Xiaowan no longer wanted to recognize him as his father!
"Xiaowan...are you happy?"
Big Fatty also sighed and nodded seriously.
"The girl is having a great time. She has a smile on her face just like she did before she got sick."
"Father, she is indeed living a happy life with Su Yang, otherwise I would have asked the secret guards to capture her!"
Zhu Di sighed and sat on the chair in a daze.
After a long silence, he finally spoke quietly.
"Give the Fangshan County Government a royal order. Forget it, I still won't go through the palace. You can find a way to solve this small matter and let them register Su Yang as a good citizen."
"I, Zhu Di's daughter, can never marry a refugee and a pariah!"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed.
"Father, does he approve of Su Yang?"
"I have accepted the betrothal gift, what else can I do?"
Zhu Di smiled bitterly, his teeth itching with hatred for Su Yang.
That bastard, at this moment, he offered him a betrothal gift that Zhu Di couldn't refuse!
"I didn't expect that I, Zhu Di, have been upright and upright all my life, and now I have to make money by selling my daughter..."
"Father, this is not the same thing..."
"Father! What are you talking about?!"
Before Zhu Gaochi could open his mouth to comfort him, a man suddenly burst in from outside the door. He was covered in iron armor and filled with evil aura. It was none other than Zhu Gaoxu, the tiger son of King Yan!
This son was born with supernatural powers and was brave and good at fighting. He was deeply loved by Zhu Di.
"Why sell your daughter to make money?"
"Where's my little sister? Why didn't I see her when I came back?"
Zhu Gaoxu asked one after another, but there was no answer from the two of them.
Suddenly, he had a bad feeling and asked angrily.
"You sold my little sister?"
"..."
Zhu Gaochi secretly said something bad and hurriedly explained: "Second brother, things are not what you think!"
"My little sister was placed in Fangshan County. By chance..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu turned around and left.
"Boy, where are you going?"
"Fangshan!"
