Chapter 544 The Power of Salt

"So based on your understanding of the old lady, what do you think the old lady did?" Mrs. Yao did not let Mrs. Yao go so quickly and continued to ask.

"Sister-in-law, although I am serving the old lady, to be honest, I have to be busy with things every day, and I can't stare at the old lady every day, so I really don't know about this." Even Mrs. Yao Er herself, she was confused in her heart.

What did the old lady do?

She was just sitting under her nose, why didn’t she know any news?

I always feel that the old lady is using her ultimate move this time, but she can't tell Mrs. Yao about this, she can only pretend to be stupid.

Mrs. Yao had no choice but to sit for a while and then said goodbye.

Seeing Mrs. Yao Anxin comforted her, she said a few words: "Mom, don't worry. Since the old lady said there was an arrangement, it was an arrangement. We just wait patiently. The old lady has always cared about us younger generations, and what she said is never aimless."

"Hope." Mrs. Yao sighed.

When she and Mr. Yao couldn't use their strength, they could only rely on the old lady.

This year, the Yao family obviously noticed that there was one missing person at the banquet - Li Wenchong.

However, they didn't think much about it, only thinking that it was an "accident" for the rest of the New Year last year, and this year it was just going back. But they didn't know that Li Wenchong was not in the capital at all, and he had now run to the beach.

Because I wrote to me there and said that the salt had been exposed.

Li Wenchong was surprised and naturally had to go to the scene to confirm.

He was in a hurry and slept in the open air. Li Wenchong rushed back to the capital on New Year's Eve. He didn't even go to his own mansion and headed straight to the palace.

When Emperor Mingguang heard the people below report that Prince Chong had arrived, he was a little surprised: "Why is he back?! Isn't he in Jinling? Hurry up and let someone come in."

"Yes, your Majesty."

After a while, Li Wenchong, covered in dust, ran in from outside and saluted Emperor Mingguang.

Before Emperor Mingguang could shout, he got up first and said with an excited look: "Brother, please stop me from leaving. I have a great news to tell you."

Emperor Mingguang looked at him with a strange look, and asked the serving people to go down.

"What good news? Old Lady... is pregnant?" Although the old Lady is a little older, who made the Gu family come up with the "secret recipe for having a child" and it has been verified to be particularly effective?

Emperor Mingguang couldn't help but think about it. Could it be that the old lady was well maintained and was still getting good news when she was in her forties or fifties?

Li Wenchong was stunned and almost thought that the matter of Yao Jiuye was exposed: "Ah? Brother... how did you know? Why don't I know about this? I just came back from the beach... Could it be that news came from Jinling? But it's wrong. I haven't gotten married yet. We are innocent, where did the children come from? Brother... have you misunderstood something?"

"No? Then why are you so happy?" Emperor Mingguang couldn't say whether he was disappointed or happy, "I thought it was the old lady who was happy, so why wouldn't she be excited without you?"

"I... I'm excited because I found a good thing that benefits the country and the people. I can't wait to share it with the emperor." Li Wenchong sighed in his heart, expressed his grievances, and complained, "Brother, you are too much. I've been so far away for you. You're so good, and you're actually joking with me. If I had known this, I wouldn't be so anxious. At worst, after the New Year, I'll go slowly to the beach to verify, and come back next year."

"It's my fault, I shouldn't be joking with you. Well, what exactly is it that makes you run like this?"

Li Wenchong mysteriously took out a bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Emperor Mingguang for him to see it himself.

Emperor Mingguang looked confused, took the bamboo tube, poured it out and saw: "Isn't this salt? What's wrong with it? What's wrong with salt?"

I also put it in front of my nose and sniffed it, but I didn't smell anything wrong.

The only thing that is, probably the salt looks particularly white, just like snow, and it is very rare.

I don’t know where Li Wenchong got it.

"Of course there is a problem. Brother, please guess where did I get this salt?"

The expression on Emperor Mingguang's face became serious: "Is there another aristocratic family greedy?" Thinking of the last time about Hu Yan, his heart raised.

Just now one thing is solved, don’t let another one appear, can he pass this year?

Li Wenchong waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with the aristocratic family. As far as I know, only the old lady knows this method of taking salt except me."

"The old lady knows? The Yao family is touching salt?"

"No, the old lady will know that it's because they are professional. Brother Huang, don't forget that the Baixiang Pavilion is famous all over the country. You have never thought about why the things in Baixiang Pavilion are so good?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Technology. Baixiang Pavilion has mastered the technology that others have not mastered. When this technology is used to refining salt... I think about it carefully, brother, please think about it."

Emperor Mingguang stared at Li Wenchong with a torch, and his heart was "jumping": "You can say it more clearly."

"To put it more clearly, that is, because of this technology, the old lady felt that the method of salt making can be improved. She just read the whole book and saw some interesting stories. There is water on the sea, and it tastes like salt; there is stone in the mountains, and it tastes like salt..." Li Wenchong did not retreat at all and said the statement he had prepared long ago, "The Baixiang Pavilion is all over the country, and the required materials will also be obtained from all parts of the country. They have a certain understanding of the local mountains, rivers and geographical conditions. At this time, the old lady had some associations. Since the rocks can get salt, what about the sea water that is like salt?"

Emperor Mingguang's pupils shrank: "What do you mean... this salt is obtained from the sea water?!"

Li Wenchong nodded: "Well, this is why I went to the beach. I sent a group of people to secretly arrive at the beach. According to the old lady's drying method, I successfully obtained salt through the four methods of boiling salt, making salt, making salt, and directly drying salt."

Emperor Mingguang suddenly stood up and walked back and forth around the room.

He was so excited that his whole body was filled with blood, and he wanted to rush to the scene to see it immediately.

This incident is really shocking!

The sea is so big that it is not known inside.

And now, his emperor brother told him that sea water can actually make salt?!

If this is the case, will the people on the land of the Ming Dynasty still lack salt in the future? As long as the people master this method of salt making...

The more I thought about it, the more excited he became, the more excited Emperor Mingguang shouted excitedly: "Okay! That's great!"

"Prince Chong is a great achievement."

"I will give you whatever you want."

...

Compared to Emperor Mingguang's excitement, Li Wenchong had to calm down much, after all, his excitement had long passed.

When he first learned that sea water could dry salt, he was not much more excited than Emperor Mingguang, but now...

Li Wenchong had a task, and he complained with disgust: "Brother, have you made the point wrong? The key point was thought out by the old lady. If it weren't for my personal brother, I wouldn't want to cause trouble, tell me such an important thing. Haven't you seen the old lady open Baixiang Pavilion across the country, even if she had a method, she wouldn't have the idea to make salt? Why is it because she knew that she couldn't touch this thing, and it would be troublesome if she touched it..."
