The wait was too long, Zhou Che and others sat on their chairs and fell asleep, holding their heads.
Only Zhen Chuhe was the only one who stared at the salt spread like a lover.
Until he screamed, waking everyone up.
A layer of fine white crystals condensed on the bottom of the pot.
"It's really done!?"
Zhen Wu exclaimed, subconsciously reaching out to scrape it and put it in his mouth to taste.
Snapped!
Zhen Chuhe was furious and slapped him on the forehead: "You just hope that I will become extinct!?"
"Go and find an apprentice to join you!"
Tutu, a population dependent on a large clan, somewhere between slaves and free farmers.
They do not belong to the country, nor do they belong to themselves, but are the private property of the big family.
Life and death are all a matter of a word from the master.
The disciple who was called up put the salt into his mouth without any doubts.
"How?" Zhen Chuhe asked.
"It's very delicate. It's not as bitter as the coarse salt we usually eat." Tufu replied.
Zhen Chuhe held up a small plate, which was filled with refined salt eaten by wealthy people: "Try this again."
"yes."
Tufu also took the refined salt into his mouth.
After a while, he pointed to the pot: "This is better."
Zhen Chuhe's hands shook.
The salt refined from waste brine is actually stronger than the finest refined salt! ?
If this wasn't poisonous...
Everyone observed for a while, but Tufu remained as usual.
"It's really not poisonous!"
Zhen Chuhe became excited and said: "Your Highness, your method of refining brine salt ore is of immeasurable value."
Infinitely valuable? It's true.
But because of this, no one can monopolize this thing for a long time in Daxia.
Zhou Che waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's just say that this recipe comes from the Zhen family, and the salt production you exceed is all from the brine salt mines opened."
"And the brine salt mine has always been regarded as waste, let alone the royal family. The so-called crime of stealing mines is out of the question."
The expressions of the three Zhen family members suddenly changed.
As a business family, how could they not know how valuable this recipe is?
It is no exaggeration to say that you are sitting on a golden mountain!
Of course, after this place changes hands, it must be dedicated to the emperor and the imperial court.
But so what?
Not only can the lives of the entire Zhen family be saved, but if the emperor is kind, he might even be rewarded!
"It is hard for the Zhen family to repay Your Highness for your kindness!"
Zhen Chuhe choked up and bowed down.
The two brothers and sisters immediately followed.
Zhou Che supported the father and daughter with one hand and the other.
Zhen Wu was stubborn. He took a step back and knocked his head loudly: "I was rude just now. I am here to apologize to His Highness."
"Zhen Wu is a rough man and has offended His Highness. I hope His Highness will forgive me!"
"In the future, if His Highness orders, Zhen Wu will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
After that, bang bang bang~ gave away three more.
Zhen Chuhe also reacted quickly and immediately said: "If His Highness does not dislike it, then what about the engagement~"
Zhen Wan's pretty face turned slightly red and her eyes glanced aside.
Zhou Che smiled and said: "When I said snatching a bride before, it was a last resort and urgent statement."
"I intend to marry my sister-in-law...Ms. Zhen will be the prince's concubine. She will then inform her father, Emperor Ming, and send a letter to Zong Zheng's Mansion. They will then be responsible for accepting gifts, collecting taxes, asking for dates, and other etiquette."
He is different from Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming grabbed Zhen's handle and forcibly tied her to the chariot. Later, he simply showed his cards and stopped pretending.
And what about yourself? Since you have shown kindness and righteousness, why not skip this process?
It’s nothing more than the brothers digging a well and drinking water two days late…
Hearing this, Zhen Wan suddenly turned her head and looked at Zhou Che with beautiful eyes, full of gratitude and joy.
And Zhen Chuhe, father and son, also accurately captured the words: prince's concubine!
Zhen Chuhe took a step back and bowed to Zhou Che: "From today on, Mrs. Zhen is willing to give everything she has to help His Highness!"
Zhen Chuhe knew very well that Zhen had no way out.
Their only choice is to do their best to help Zhou Che become the crown prince!
Zhou Che was overjoyed.
Afterwards, Zhen Chuhe went to send Zhou Ming away.
"Your Highness."
Zhen Chuhe was still far away, and Zhou Ming's entourage had already seen it, with a happy face: "Looking at his hurried steps, he is probably here to apologize."
"Just sit and calm down."
Zhou Ming behaved quietly, looked at Zhen Chuhe who walked through the door, and said calmly: "Master Zhen, drive Lao Liu out first, bring the Tianzhang Sword, and then talk to me."
Zhen Chuhe turned sideways and pointed to the door: "Your Highness, get out!"
Um! ?
"presumptuous!"
The followers were furious and pointed their swords at Zhen Chuhe: "How dare you talk to His Highness like this, you don't want to live anymore?!"
After a moment, the guards walked out of Zhen's courtyard one by one and stood behind the Zhen Chu River.
The first dozen or so, with strong and majestic bodies and sharp eyes, are the masters of rangers raised by the Zhen family.
There are still many inconveniences in entering the capital. The Zhen family is within the Donghai clan, and there are ten thousand servants, disciples, and guards.
Zhen Chuhe stood upright: "His Royal Highness has a body of a thousand pieces of gold, so naturally I dare not offend him."
"But this is within the Zhen family after all. I can protect the family by myself, so there should be no problem, right?"
"Although I, the Zhen family, cannot talk about the giant families in Shanghai, I do know some famous people and scholars. If the reputation of Your Highness breaking into private houses and forcibly occupying them spreads, I'm afraid it will be bad for Your Highness, right?"
Zhou Ming's face instantly darkened: "Zhen Chuhe, do you want to be exterminated?"
"As long as I don't obey His Highness, Your Highness will spare no effort to destroy my Zhen family."
"Whether it is destroyed or not depends only on whether His Highness can do it, not on my attitude, Zhen Chuhe."
Zhen Chuhe flicked his sleeves and repeated those words again: "Go away!"
Is your attitude so useful?
The two sides have come to this point. As long as Zhen refuses to side with Zhou Ming, what awaits them is Zhou Ming's crazy attack without sparing any effort.
Even if Zhen Chuhe smashes his head here today, it can't change this ending.
boom!
Zhou Ming flicked his sleeves, and the cups and plates fell to the ground on the table.
"good!"
"Then Master Zhen should make arrangements for his funeral in advance!"
The man strode away with murderous intent in his eyes.
A figure came towards them, it was Zhou Che Gai Yue and Zhen's brother and sister.
The four of them were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
"Brother Imperial." Zhou Che looked at him with a smile on his face: "Next time you come to my father-in-law's house, remember to bring more gifts!"
The murderous intent in Zhou Ming's eyes was extremely strong.
The Zhen family has been regarded as something in his pocket!
In order to get this piece of meat into his mouth in advance, he even threw aside the red tape and went to the door with the dignity of a prince to press him.
But who knows, or let the sixth man poach the corner? !
How did he do it?
——But that’s not important anymore.
He said darkly: "Lao Liu, what I can't get, you can't even think of getting!"
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Zhou Che did not stay long, so he left and prepared to go to the palace.
However, as soon as they reached the door of the mansion, a large number of government servants had already rushed over.
He Changlin held the documents he had prepared and stood in front of the mansion:
"The Zhen family is good at opening salt mines and has robbed many people. In order to comply with the national law, she should be arrested immediately and put on death row without any mistakes."
"Anyone who dares to obstruct resistance will be killed immediately!"
