Chapter 176 Refined salt arrives at Yingtian City(1/2)
After returning to the palace, Yang Siyi and Li Shanchang were both shocked.
"Your Highness, how dare you ask when was the Zhenjiang Road salt factory built?"
Before Zhu Biao could sit down, Li Shanchang hurriedly asked.
As the prime minister of a country, a large workshop that can produce fine salt appeared in Zhenjiang. He didn't notice it at all, but he made a big mistake.
Especially the Salt Transportation Department, no one reported to him. It can be seen that this salt factory was quietly set up by the prince.
However, Zhao Liangjin didn't notice it at all, he was really incompetent!
In an instant, Li Shanchang felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
Li Shanchang lowered his head and asked Zhu Biao while feeling annoyed.
"Don't be in a hurry to the prime minister!"
After thinking along the way, Zhu Biao's agitation had already calmed down.
Therefore, what is very sensitive is to detect the changes in Li Shanchang's mood.
"Li Xiangguo, the matter of salt is proposed by the palace and the precious commercial tax to my father. However, the father believed that the secret method of producing salt is a secret that Wudang did not pass on, and it was difficult to obtain. So he handed it over to my father to be fully responsible..."
Zhu Biao slowly drank a sip of tea and explained slowly.
Below, after hearing that the emperor also knew about the salt factory, Li Shanchang and Yang Siyi came, and were also shocked and slowly calmed down.
"That?……"
After hearing this, Li Shanchang and Yang Siyi raised their heads in unison and looked at Zhu Biao with confusion.
The secret technique of salt essence is indeed a secret that is not passed down by Wudang. For this reason, a group of salt vendors paid a lot of lives back then. But how did the prince get it?
Zhu Biao ignored it, his expression changed slightly, and continued, "But my father didn't know that the secret method of producing fine salt was created by the little master of Wudang. Moreover, all the real people of Wudang are also aliens, indifferent and have few desires. They did not have the intention to possess the secret method of fine salt, but instead wished to allow the secret method of fine salt to appear in the world like the secret technique of steel, and benefit the people and the people of the world!"
Yang Siyi:...
Li Shanchang:...
The two looked strange, but they both remained silent.
I don’t understand, is it because I and others have a wrong understanding of Wudang, or is it because the real people in Wudang suddenly changed their temperament.
If all the real people in Wudang really took compassion as their compassion, then all the salt dealers along the two Huaihe Rivers would not have died at the foot of Wudang Mountain!
However, since Wudang was able to hand over the secret technique of salt, the two of them didn't bother with it.
As for Zhu Zi'an's role in this, the two of them directly ignored it. What kind of voice can a young real person who has not yet won the title have in front of all real people in Wudang!
Above, Zhu Biao could also know what the two were thinking at the moment from their expressions. He did not emphasize in particular that he and his father had always been worried that Zhu Zi'an's achievements would be too dazzling and would be targeted by a group of ministers.
Then, thinking of his arrangement for the salt, Zhu Biao continued: "Li Xiangguo, Shangshu Yang, this palace wants to send someone to transport the salt back. In addition to leaving 500 kilograms of salt to Zhenyi's shop for sale, he sent 300 kilograms of salt to his father and the army of the Northern Expedition. As for the remaining salt, two kilograms of salt will be rewarded on the residences of every minister in Yingtian City!"
"I wonder what Li Xiangguo and Yang Shangshu think?"
"Your Highness is wise!" "Your Highness is wise!"
Li Shanchang and Yang Siyi hurriedly bowed and looked excited.
Two kilograms of fine salt!
That's something that is hard to find.
Although there is already a fine salt factory that can produce fine salt stably. However, for Li Shanchang and Yang Siyi, who had been paid less than a pound of fine salt a year before, the prince was extremely generous.
Even more generous than the emperor!
A faint thought flashed through Li Shanchang's mind.
But soon, he shook his head secretly and shook the thought out.
"good!"
Seeing that Li Shanchang did not object, Zhu Biao smiled with satisfaction.
Then, he shouted outside the hall.
"Come!"
"The last one will be here!"
As soon as Zhu Biao finished speaking, he ran into a guard from outside the hall.
"Hold our palace order, take a team of guards to Zhenjiang Road Salt Factory, and transport all the accumulated salt to us!"
"The last one will obey the crown prince's order!"
The guards saluted quickly.
Then, after receiving the prince's order from Wanxi, he hurriedly withdrew from the palace.
After a while, a team of guards, one by one, drove out from the palace gate!
Go east and head straight to Zhenjiang Road.
"Your Highness!"
After the guard left, Li Shanchang thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly.
"Hmm? What else is there for the Prime Minister?"
Zhu Biao asked.
"Your Highness, that salt factory, but your Highness?"
Li Shanchang asked softly.
"The Prime Minister is afraid that he is wrong. The salt factory was built by the joint efforts of this palace and the little real man Wudang. The salt field and land of this palace, and the little real man Wudang produced the secret technique of people and the salt. Finally, the salt produced was handed over to the Zhenyi store for sale!"
Zhu Biao smiled lightly and replied slowly.
"Your Highness, the salt administration is related to the people's livelihood in the world. Since ancient times, the capital was controlled by the imperial court. Now, the salt factory has been divided by half to a person outside the country, and is still a merchant who runs a shop. Is it wrong?"
Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Biao and said slowly.
Yang Siyi, who was standing by, knew Zhu Biao’s true life experience. Therefore, before Li Shanchang finished speaking, he knew what Li Shanchang meant.
His eyes were tightened, and he looked at Li Shanchang strangely, and then looked at Zhu Biao nervously.
Sure enough, Zhu Biao's face turned gloomy.
He looked at Li Shanchang quietly, and his gloomy eyes made Li Shanchang feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Zhu Biao say indifferently, "The father has been handed over to the full responsibility of this matter to me. Moreover, Wudang Xiaozhenren is also a member of the extradition. Li Xiangguo doesn't have to worry too much about this matter."
"Yes, I'm rude!"
Feeling Zhu Biao's indifferent words, Li Shanchang's heart sank and inexplicably thought of the words that Zhu Biao misled in the afternoon at Zhenyi Restaurant.
A thick look of suspicion flashed in his eyes, he slowly turned his head and looked at Yang Siyi who was standing quietly beside him.
After the two left Wenhua Palace.
Li Shanchang took a few quick steps, caught up with Yang Siyi, stared in Yang Siyi's eyes, and asked, "I dare to ask Lord Yang, what is the identity of Wudang Xiaozhenren?"
"this?"
Yang Siyi was stunned, and quickly bowed slightly, and said awkwardly: "The Prime Minister doesn't know about this, and the officials don't know even more!"
"Mr. Yang must know that from Zhenyi Restaurant to the hall, Mr. Yang's expression has already explained everything."
Li Shanchang asked.
"I really don't know, so I hope the Prime Minister will not ask too much!"
Yang Siyi smiled again and bowed her hands repeatedly.
Seeing this, Li Shanchang turned around and glanced at Wenhua Palace, with some thought in his eyes.
Then, he looked at Yang Siyi tightly.
"Mr. Yang, the emperor knows it?"
"Of course the emperor knows it!"
Yang Siyi seemed to be instructive.
"In this way, I am worried too much!"
Li Shanchang took a deep look at Yang Siyi, bowed his hand, and then walked away.
"well……"
...
At the same time, the salt factory on Zhenjiang Road.
Yang Shifan and Fan Xianzu were also feeling worried about the more than a thousand kilograms of fine salt accumulated in the warehouse.
"General Meng, how many pounds of fine salt in the warehouse have reached now?"
Seeing a burly man with a short and small arms coming in from outside the door, Yang Shifan asked quickly with a look of anxiety.
This great man was General Meng and Meng Zonglie, who was mentioned by Yang Shifan. Like Chu Nan, Yang Zaide and others, they were all old men who followed Zhu Yuanzhang and had a special position in the army. They were the most prestigious veterans among the more than 100 veterans selected by Jian Shan in the west of the city.
