Daming: What abandoned baby?That is the grandson of the old Zhu family!

After asking dozens of questions in a row, Zhu Xiongying answered each one fluently.

The eyes of the maid and eunuch next to her almost popped out. This child is a rare prodigy in a hundred years!No wonder the emperor loved him so much.

Moreover, this kid is not only smart and good-looking, but the most important thing is that he can act like a baby. As long as he smiles, he wants to melt people's hearts!
As expected, Zhu Xiongying only came to the palace for half a day, and managed to capture the hearts of another group of people.

Zhu Yuanzhang never thought that this child Zhu Xiongying was really talented and intelligent, and he loved him even more.

"Huaiying is really amazing, she has read so many poems!" Zhu Yuanzhang praised Zhu Xiongying without hesitation.

Zhu Xiongying was proud: "Of course, not only can I read and write, I can also ride a horse and shoot arrows. The father said that I am the most powerful kid he has ever seen!"

Although at the beginning, Zhu Xiongying still felt a little ashamed that she had to play a two-year-old child as an adult.But this thing is born once and familiarized twice, and the identity of a child will naturally get more attention and love, which is not a bad thing for me.

And this is also impossible!
"Okay, it's getting late, it's time to eat, are you all hungry?" Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to prepare meals.

The Imperial Dining Room moved quickly, and it didn't take long before a table of delicious food was placed on the table.

Although Zhu Xiongying has always been well-clothed and well-fed in the Duke's Mansion, seeing the delicacies of mountains and seas on this table, I still sigh in my heart that Zhu Yuanzhang is really a big hand.

Zhu Xiongying has always performed very well. It is reasonable to say that at this age, many children even have to be chased by others to feed them, but Zhu Xiongying has been able to use chopsticks to sit quietly on the seat and eat by himself.

From time to time, I would pick up vegetables, and when I went to the bowls of Xu Jinghan and Xu Zhirong, I felt as if I was the oldest child. Zhu Yuanzhang saw all this, not to mention how proud he was.

Suddenly, Zhu Xiongying felt something hard was bitten into his mouth.

"Pfft!" Zhu Xiongying spat out the hard object, which turned out to be a grain of sand.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious: "Who is in charge of this meal? It's so unclean! Such a trivial matter can't be done well, so I want to pull people out and chop it up, just to make an example of others!"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang getting angry, the people around him immediately knelt down tremblingly.

This time it's over!Everyone wailed in their hearts. Zhu Yuanzhang's love for this child was visible to the naked eye. This time, he accidentally let the child eat sand in the meal. If Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, his head would fall to the ground!

Zhu Xiongying was terrified, she couldn't just watch some people fall to the ground because of her!

"It's okay! Grandpa, don't blame them!" Zhu Xiongying immediately stood up and grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's arm.

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang realize that his appearance might frighten the children, so he restrained his anger immediately.

"Grandfather, don't punish them!"

"Okay, Huaiying don't worry." Zhu Yuanzhang touched Zhu Xiongying's head. This child not only has extraordinary talents, but also loves him.

It would be great if it was my own child!
And Zhu Xiongying was inspired by what happened just now, the grains of sand are eaten from salt...

salt!

Zhu Xiongying felt that he had been clicked. By the way, he really didn't think of the thing of salt?
If I remember correctly, during Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, there were many shortages of salt and iron, and the supply of salt has always been in short supply!
Holding it means that you can start from this point!

The Ming Dynasty mainly implemented two policies for the management of table salt. One was that the common people were responsible for refining and handing it over to the government in exchange for silver taels, and the other was that the common people made it and sold it directly to merchants.

That means that Zhu Xiongying can make salt by himself, and this salt has always been an indispensable item from the royal palace to the common people!
As long as I can make salt by myself one day in the future, even if I don't have Zhu Yuanzhang's favor in the future, and I don't have the Duke's mansion to rely on, but at least I have the ability to settle down.

Although the Ming Dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, and the status of merchants was not high, what does that matter?You must know that businessmen are the easiest to make money. If you work as a farmer all your life, you will not have to suffer for the rest of your life!

Whether the crops are good or not depends on whether God rewards them with food?I have to hand over my food, clothing and life to God!

How can that work!Zhu Xiongying, as a manly man, firmly believes that a happy life is achieved through hard work, and the opportunity must be seized when it comes!

According to historical records, there were only two salt-making methods during the Ming Dynasty, one was the brine method and the other was the extraction method.

The brine method is relatively the most widely used, and the production process is also the most skilled. It needs to dig a deep well and inject water to cover the salt layer, so that the salt will dissolve naturally to form brine, which is then heated and boiled to extract the brine.This is a relatively simple method, but it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the production process is very long.

The extraction method is mainly extracted from sea salt ore, or from mineral salt rocks. For the extraction of sea salt ore, many people have mastered this technology in the Ming Dynasty, so it has become the main method of salt production.

However, because some natural mineral salt stones contain some poisonous chemical substances, those who do not know how to do so are easily harmed by poisonous substances, so the common people have always regarded them as poisonous substances, and no one dares to touch them. The extraction of mineral salt stones is easy Has been in vain.

But as a talent in the new era, I can completely figure out how to extract salt from ore?
No one has researched this method yet, which means that I have a great possibility to seize the opportunity first. This is simply an excellent opportunity!
Zhu Xiongying was overwhelmed by his ingenuity, this is indeed a good opportunity to make his mark, all he needs to do now is to do all the preparations well.

As long as the time is right, you can show your talents!

Although Zhu Xiongying is a college student, he was able to learn the subject of chemistry when he was studying, but it is still a bit reluctant for him to extract poisonous chemical substances from ore alone.

And this is the Ming Dynasty. Although technology has matured a lot compared to many feudal eras in Chinese history, compared with the past, the development of technology is far behind. There is no advanced technology and scientific instruments. Extracting ore is simply difficult!

It seems that I must start researching immediately!Zhu Xiongying secretly made up his mind.
