"Your Majesty, Prince Che has sent someone to send you 10,000 yuan as a token of filial piety."

In Zhangtai Palace, Dunruo smiled and reported to His Majesty the First Emperor.

Behind him, two black-armored guards carried a box and walked into the hall.

His Majesty the First Emperor raised his eyes slightly, with a rare hint of kindness in his eyes: "Che'er is thoughtful."

How could Ying Che's opening of a salt shop be concealed from His Majesty the First Emperor?

Even if His Majesty the First Emperor wanted to, it would not be impossible for the salt shop's account books to be directly submitted to the desk.

However, His Majesty the First Emperor still felt pleased.

the reason is simple,

This is the first money Inceptor has ever made.

Although he is the emperor of the ages, Ying Zheng... is also a father!

There are often strict requirements in life, but there is a deep love between father and son.

When your son earns his first money and gives part of it to his father, just tell him whether you are happy or not!

"Your Majesty, Master Che has invested many years of his palace's fortune in opening the salt shop. Now he has made a lot of profits, and he still cares about your majesty. He is really filial!"

Dunruo on the side saw His Majesty the First Emperor was happy, so he naturally started to praise him.

There is nothing wrong with saying such good things.

"I am naturally aware of Cheer's filial piety. But the profit of this salt shop is so huge, I am also surprised!"

"This Liu Bai really has a touch of turning stone into gold."

His Majesty the First Emperor nodded slightly, looking at the box in front of him and thinking.

It would be very scary to be able to submit ten thousand dollars, even if it was all the profits!

Has there ever been a business in the world that made a profit of 30% of the cost in one day?

Besides, the salt industry is not about quick money, but a long-term business!

"Xiang Liu is known to the world for his intelligence. But I never imagined that Xiang Liu is not only the best in poetry, but also has profound knowledge in businessmanship!"

Dunruo was half sighing, and half following His Majesty the First Emperor's words.

Ten thousand dollars... Even if I have served in Zhangtai Palace for many years, I have never seen any minister who can so casually spend so much money.

And now...just one day's profit!

It’s impossible not to be surprised!

"Spring and Autumn Guanzi once said in the past, 'official mountains and seas', which meant that the government had a monopoly on the products of the mountains and seas, the main ones being salt and iron. After Duke Huan of Qi died, Lu Wukui succeeded to the throne of Qi, and this rule was abolished."

"Looking at it now, there is nothing wrong with the state-owned salt industry!"

His Majesty the First Emperor frowned slightly.

As an emperor through the ages, it goes without saying that he has such basic skills as Ming Shi Jing Jin.

The state-owned salt industry can not only keep such strategic materials in the hands of the state, but also benefit the people and fill the national treasury. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.

The abolition of the State of Qi was closely related to the death of Duke Huan of Qi. Then the five sons seized the throne. In order to ascend to the throne, Lu Wukui gave up the profits of salt and iron to "Kaifang, Shudiao, and Yiya", and then "Guanshanhai" Abolition. (Uh... spread some historical knowledge, it's a bit beautiful to stop the car)

But the current situation in Qin State, where the salt industry is state-owned, can indeed be tried.

"Dunruo, go and tell Cheer that I won't ask anything about opening a salt shop."

"But after one month, the account books must be submitted for the school examination!"

"If the people are not benefited and the profit is not abundant, let this traitor prepare a package and go to Daijun to spend the night and sleep on the ice and sleep in the snow!"

His Majesty the First Emperor spoke calmly.

Dunruo's pupils on the side suddenly shrank!

The treacherous son...

The title "Your Majesty"... is it meant to pamper or encourage?

And...the word "school entrance examination" is worth pondering!

"promise!"

Dunruo saluted hurriedly, naturally not daring to show any slightness.

After he left Zhangtai Palace, His Majesty the First Emperor stood up, walked to the bookshelf, took out Guan Zhong's book "Guan Zi·Hai Wang" and read it carefully.

Even Liu Bai himself didn't know that he had unintentionally promoted Da Qin's 'salt and iron monopoly'.

Later generations' evaluation of this matter was overwhelmingly admiration. They thought Liu Bai was too insidious. He knew that the court would be beaten if he brought it up, so he let Prince Che take the lead!

Too cheap!

The layout is too far!

Of course, this is all for later.

At this moment, Liu Bai, with a bitter look on his face, was slapping a middle-aged man on the back of the head!

"saute!"

"Turn it over!"

"Why are you so stupid! You can't even cook by hand. If you are asked to make a machine, wouldn't that make you even more blind?"

Liu Bai was so angry that he jumped up and down!

Damn it, a majestic Mo family man, he was so clumsy when he was trying to make tea, and he even got burnt?

Damn...what about the ingenuity you promised? Are all co-authorships a lie?

Mo Shan was also extremely aggrieved.

Every other line is like a mountain! Where has he ever played this before?

"Liu Xiang, how about I give it a try?"

On the contrary, the peasant hero Kui Nong Shang on the side was eager to try!

"Yes! Come on! If you know how to farm, you can plant trees. If you know how to plant trees, you can grow tea. If you know how to grow tea, you can fry tea!"

"If you can't reveal your true colors under fire, I'll throw you in and fire you!"

As soon as he heard what Nong Shang said, Liu Bai instantly felt a little hopeful about Shishi Tea.

After saying these words, Nong Shang was not afraid at all, but was full of confidence.

That’s it!

The senior farmer immediately felt the temperature on the tea leaves very well, and he felt like a fish in water after a few operations!

"I'll go! Nong Shang, are you actually a master?"

Liu Bai's eyes widened!

Because the color change of the tea leaves and the bursts of aroma are absolutely perfect!

Compared to him, a layman who had little knowledge and relied on his own care, Nong Shang was simply a master of tea frying.

"Liu Xiang is so impressed! My farm treasure 'Wuyouhua' is also made by frying and sun-drying. This method is not much different."

Nong Shang smiled shyly, but his eyes were filled with contentment. Mo Shan, who was standing by him, was so angry that he shouted in his heart, "Flattery!"

"Worry-Free Flower?" (Starting from this place, the rest of this chapter, please don't comment, it's a bit sensitive. Thank you everyone!)

Hearing this, Liu Bai's eyes lit up!

Farm treasure, what is this?

"Reporting to Liu Xiang, this was discovered by the sages of my farm family from Wuling. After frying it, drying it in the sun, lighting it with fire, and using reed rods to inhale the smoke, you can forget all the troubles in the world. This is my farm family. The supreme treasure!"

Nong Shang was very proud and kept working hard!

However....

He didn't notice that Liu Bai, who was originally smiling, suddenly turned ferocious!

"you.."

"explain!"

"Varied!"

"What!"

Nong Shang suddenly felt his neck tighten, and then he discovered that the Liu Xiang in front of him, who was always known for his handsome and elegant appearance, had an extremely fierce expression, and there were even bloodshot eyes in his eyes, as if he had murderous intent!

Such a change shocked Nong Shang!

"Take out the worry-free flower!"

Liu Bai almost said this sentence forcefully from between his teeth.

Worry-free... smoke... forget your worries!

His first reaction was...that demon that made the entire land of China suffer!

poppy!

It was this thing that started a hundred years of humiliation!

It is this thing that makes countless Chinese people cry tears of blood!

It was this thing that killed the descendants of the most outstanding nation in the world!

The good man who was originally the head of the family sold his wife into the opium house and abandoned his children just to smoke in the opium den!

The soldiers carrying weapons to protect their homes and country had no fighting spirit in their eyes.

The young girl, with her clothes in a mess, just wanted to end it quickly and take a sip.

His parents starved to death at home, and his wife and children were sold into the gates of hell.

There was blood and tears, and the backbone of this great nation was almost broken!

At this moment, his killing intent was comparable to that of Bai Qi!

absolute! This kind of thing must not be allowed to exist in Great Qin! This kind of hidden danger... must be eliminated with thunder!

Who stops?

Who dies!

"me...."

In the face of this almost substantial murderous intention, Nong Shang's whole body was shaking constantly.

He really felt the fear of death from Liu Bai's eyes.

This overwhelming hatred... Nong Shang could even feel that Liu Bai was about to cut him into pieces!

"I'm the size of your mother! Either reveal Wuyouhua, or..."

Liu Bai gritted his teeth and spoke word by word: "The farmhouse was destroyed today!"

....

Why didn’t I write about poppies and what they become? Instead, I wrote about frying them. I have considered it.

When a new thing is just discovered, who knows how to purify it?

He can only use the most primitive method...burn!

In order to cook it better, fry it and dry it in the sun!

I don't understand this either, so I can only speculate based on common sense. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me!
