The Duke's wife hurriedly dissuaded him: "How can the master say such unlucky words!"

"Father! Let your grandson speak clearly first!" Zhu Xiongying took the opportunity to poke his head out.

"That's right, master, at least you have to let the child speak clearly! There must be some misunderstanding in this, you should have frightened the child by throwing such a temper tantrum!" Of course, Mrs. Guo is on Zhu Xiongying's side.

Zhu Xiongying was finally able to catch his breath.

This old man Xu is over half a hundred years old, and he is still so strong and able to run and jump. Fortunately, he was not caught by him just now, otherwise he would have to suffer some flesh and blood now!
"Father really misunderstood, grandson did not give poisonous salt mine water to father, how dare grandson?" Zhu Xiongying immediately felt wronged, "This face is indeed made by grandson himself, But before serving it to Dafu, the servants had already tasted it, and nothing happened before taking it back for Dafu to drink!"

Xu Da calmed down a little, looking at Zhu Xiongying's firm eyes.

"Really?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded vigorously: "Of course, how could the grandson deceive the father! If you don't believe me, you can ask the three servants!"

"Young master is right!" The servant who had tasted the salt before immediately replied, "I have indeed tasted this salt before, it is indeed non-toxic, and the taste is dozens of times better than ordinary coarse salt. The young master also thought the salt was good, so he specially brought it back for the master to taste!"

Zhu Xiongying pointed at the servant: "Before I asked him to try it, he refused to give it a try, but he still ate a lot, is it okay now? And he said it tastes very good!"

The servant nodded immediately, expressing his agreement with what his young master said.

Xu Da calmed down after hearing this, and found that there was really nothing wrong with his body.

Zhu Xiongying: "The grandson has already said that the elder father blamed me by mistake!"

Xu Da snorted: "Why didn't you explain it earlier, your heart is in your throat! This old man's body can still withstand your tossing like this?"

Zhu Xiongying expressed that he was wronged, it was true that he was not given a chance to explain!

"You really made it up yourself?" Xu Da still doesn't believe it. He knows that Zhu Xiongying is very smart since he was a child, but he, a three-year-old child, can extract such good salt by himself. Still feel a little weird.

Xu Da couldn't help recalling the taste of the glass of salt water he drank just now, the taste of the salt was really good.

The Xu family is a rich family, and they are also relatives of the emperor, so the food and food used in their daily life are naturally top-grade.

Xu Da thought he had seen many good things, including salt of course.

Those who are high officials in the entire court will naturally be able to get the best salt supply.Therefore, the salt from Duke Wei's mansion is considered good compared to the salt on the market, but the salt that Zhu Xiongying brought back today still opened Xu Da's horizons.

Not only does it not have the sour and astringent taste of ordinary hydrochloric acid, but it also has a refreshing fragrance.

The key is that the particles look very fine, and the color is pure and beautiful. In terms of appearance alone, it is already top-grade.

"Indeed, Father." Zhu Xiongying looked at Xu Da with clear eyes, without any intention of deceiving him.

"I heard from you Chongci that you took Jing'er and Rong'er to make things secretly, just to make things?" Xu Da asked again.

It seemed that Zhu Xiongying couldn't hide it, and now he couldn't hide it anymore.

Why don't you just tell the truth, as long as you don't expose yourself.

"Yes." Zhu Xiongying nodded.

"You brat, the older you get, the more tricky ideas you get." Xu Da cursed with a smile.

Mrs. Guo Gong persuaded the fight at the right time: "Okay, now that the misunderstanding has been solved, it is true that the child was misunderstood, the master is really reckless this time!"

Xu Da snorted, although his heart had softened, he still wanted to save face on the face and was unwilling to bow his head.

Naturally, Zhu Xiongying didn't have to compete for superiority or inferiority.

Still the same sentence, it doesn't matter much if a man can bend and stretch.

"Father, have you calmed down? The servant said that the salt tastes good after eating it!" Zhu Xiongying propped his face, "Father, look at my grandson's filial piety, how can I blame my grandson~"

Zhu Xiongying started acting like a baby again.

He now understands that Xu Da looks strict, but in fact he has a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart. From childhood to adulthood, he was punished several times, but in the end he still didn't have the heart to do it.

As long as you act like a baby and admit your mistakes, you can escape smoothly.

This is the treatment that even Xu Da's grandchildren may not be able to receive.

Xu Jinghan had also been fined several times.

Xu Da picked him up and said, "You are naughty, but you are also really smart. Then the father will see if this is good salt!"

"Welcome Dafather to inspect the goods!" Zhu Xiongying puffed up his chest.

"Come here, use this salt to cook vegetables at night, let me see how good this salt is." Xu Da ordered.

Recently, Zhu Yuanzhang has been worrying about the salt affairs. There has been no solution to the shortfall of the Salt and Iron Department. However, the method of making salt from salt ore has always been a problem. Can give up, adopt single evaporation seawater salt making method.

But this salt and iron has always been the lifeblood of the entire country, and a large part of the treasury's annual taxes come from it.And people’s lives must never be without salt. Once there is a lot of salt and iron, there will be chaos sooner or later. It can be seen that this salt and iron has such a pivotal position in the economic operation of the entire court.

And relying on this common and most important method of salt production, as well as the speed and quantity of salt production, can no longer meet the needs of the whole country.

This matter has always been an annoyance to Zhu Yuanzhang. The civil and military officials of the court are already devastated.

But the fatal problem is the lack of salt supply, and many salt merchants have no way to pay more salt.

The production of salt is insufficient, even if the court urges it, it will be useless.

There are only a few places that mainly produce salt in the whole country, and the population keeps increasing, which of course will cause the supply to exceed the demand.

Now that Zhu Xiongying has found a way to extract salt from salt ore, he has opened up a new way. If this method is really feasible, wouldn't it solve a big problem for the court?
Xu Da was looking forward to it.

If Zhu Xiongying's salt extracted from the Yan ore is indeed rare and high-grade, then he has not only solved the problem of salt supply, but also achieved a qualitative leap in quality.

Doesn't that mean that the court's urgent need has been successfully resolved, which is a great achievement!

Zhu Xiongying's innate ability is something he never thought of. If it were the past, he would not be able to believe that this three-year-old doll can really make salt if Xu Da was beaten to death!

But this Zhu Xiongying refreshed his cognition again and again.
