"Okay, Huaiying really lived up to the expectations of the emperor." Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased, and he became more and more convinced that Zhu Xiongying was indeed a treasure of opinion bestowed on him by heaven.

The two chatted while walking, leisurely and comfortably, and arrived at the salt mine in Xu Da's fief after a while.

"Grandfather, we are here." Zhu Xiongying pointed to a small mountain in the distance.

"En." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Then what should we do next?"

Zhu Xiongying: "I'm going to mine some salt ore, and then prepare an iron pot, an iron frame, and fetch a few barrels of water."

"Okay, Grandpa Huang will order the servants to do it."

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the casual Jin Yiwei to do as Zhu Xiongying said.

Master Jin Yiwei, who is usually majestic and majestic, probably never imagined that one day he would be ordered by a four-year-old child.

You must know that as the emperor's hardcover army, you are doing great things, but now you have to buy iron pots and diving, and you really feel a little bit disappointed.

But since the emperor gave the order, of course I didn't have the guts to disobey it.

Jin Yiwei's hands and feet were extremely fast, and all these things were ready in a short while.

"Okay, now it's time to light the fire!" Zhu Xiongying took off his coat, folded the sleeves up in half, and was about to start a big fight.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he was going to do it himself, so he quickly squatted down and said: "What are you going to do, just tell them to do it, you don't have to do it yourself."

Zhu Xiongying shook his head: "Grandpa Huang, there is a saying in ancient times: what comes on paper is always shallow, and you have to do it yourself when you know it. If Huaiying wants to do it herself, Grandpa Huang will just watch."

"You are a child, these are tiring jobs, how can you do it?" Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little bit reluctant.

Zhu Xiongying is a little helpless, Zhu Yuanzhang is now a parent who overprotects his children.

But this is really too cautious.

Although he has the body of a four-year-old child, but his soul is already a mature adult in his 20s. Such overprotection really makes him feel too awkward.

"Grandpa Huang, Huaiying really wants to show herself to Grandpa Huang. This is Huaiying's wish. Grandpa Huang will agree to it!"

Sure enough, the tactic of acting like a baby is more effective. As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Xiongying acting like a baby, his defense collapsed.

"A gentleman must do everything himself! Grandpa Huang promises me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying's childish appearance, his voice was still so immature, but there was an unparalleled determination in his eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang was instantly moved.

This child is really, as Li Shanchang said, a rare genius through the ages.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again that it would be great if this was his own grandson.

Zhu Xiongying ordered people to set up the iron frame, put water into the iron pot, and then started to light the fire with the two Jin Yiwei.

Originally, those Jin Yiwei still dared to see that Zhu Yuanzhang really spoiled the little prince of Wei Guoguang Mansion too much, but now it seems that this little prince is not only not proud of being favored, but doing whatever he wants relying on Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, on the contrary, he is quite Sensible, and really smart, it is indeed very attractive.

They now understood the reason why Zhu Xiongying was favored.

Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, I will spoil him when I see it.Just ask who doesn't like such a child!
Zhu Xiongying has no time to pay attention to herself now and has successfully gained a group of "fans". The most important thing now is to successfully produce salt, and not to make mistakes in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise it will be very bad.

Seeing that Zhu Xiongying was already sweating profusely from exhaustion, Zhu Yuanzhang began to feel distressed again.

"Huaiying, it's better if you tell them to do as you said. Look, your head is full of sweat." Zhu Yuanzhang is really a bit of a mother-in-law now, but he doesn't realize it.

On the contrary, the Jin Yiwei and the eunuchs around were very surprised, where had they seen such a bright son exuding "the brilliance of mother's love".

However, Zhu Xiongying had already made up his mind that the process of making salt had to be demonstrated by himself.

So I talked to Zhu Yuanzhang a few more times and started working again.

The salt ore was poured into the iron pot. After the water boiled, layer after layer of heat began to rise.

Zhu Xiongying stirred in the pot with a stick a little longer than himself, the heat turned his handsome smiling face into red, and beads of sweat dripped down his face onto the ground drop by drop. .

Zhu Yuanzhang just felt so distressed, and felt very relieved to see Zhu Xiongying's resolute eyes.

A group of Jin Yiwei and the eunuchs following Zhu Yuanzhang just stared at Zhu Xiongying busy there alone, a small figure in front of the iron pot seemed to have a strange harmony.

It's the first time I've seen the master working while the slaves are standing beside me when I grow up, it's really quite fresh.

Zhu Xiongying didn't think there was anything strange at all, and all his thoughts were on making salt.

Finally, the first step of extraction was finally completed, and Zhu Xiongying immediately started the next evaporation and refining without stopping. Such coarse salt must go through this step to obtain high-quality coarse salt.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched Zhu Xiongying fiddle with the stick vigorously, bit his lip with his upper teeth, and there was a ruthless look between his brows.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed silently, he really underestimated the child in front of him.

This child is not only intelligent, but also has many beautiful qualities that he has not seen, such as humility, courtesy, gratitude, kindness, generosity, and prudence. He does not have the vulgarity of those from aristocratic families, and his qualities are all pure.

Li Shanchang is an out-and-out gentleman, just like Zhu Xiongying also learned the way of a gentleman from Li Shanchang, he is humble and knows how to advance and retreat, and takes credit without being arrogant.

Nor will he be proud of being favored and look down on the common people and the servants around him.

It is indeed the talent he personally selected by Zhu Yuanzhang!

Zhu Xiongying was so busy that he was covered in sweat, some hair on his forehead was wet with sweat, sticking sticky to his face, looking very messy.

Zhu Xiongying raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and said with a smile, "Hurry up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had been standing by with his hands behind his back, when suddenly he heard Zhu Xiongying shout: "Grandfather! I succeeded in making salt!"

Zhu Xiongying fished out a handful of fine salt from the pot with his small hand, and ran towards Zhu Yuanzhang with his calf.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dislike Zhu Xiongying's soiled robe at all, he stretched out his hand and hugged Zhu Xiongying into his arms, looking at the salt in Zhu Xiongying's hand, he was so excited that he couldn't speak for a moment.

It seems that the color and texture are all high-quality, and it even emits crystal light in the sun.
