"Grandfather, take a look!" Zhu Xiongying urged excitedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the salt that Zhu Xiongying handed him, looked at it, and nodded: "It does look like good salt."

Zhu Xiongying thought in her heart that it was of course!

"Come here." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to one of the eunuchs and put the salt in the eunuch's hand, "Taste it."

The eunuch was so frightened that his legs softened. Are the salt extracted from the salt ore sure not poisonous?

Although he is a young eunuch and has not read any books, this salt ore is indeed poisonous!Now Zhu Yuanzhang wants to let him eat it!Didn't that kill him?

"Your Majesty... this..." The little eunuch looked at the salt and Zhu Yuanzhang in a panic, swallowing unconsciously.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have much patience. Seeing the little eunuch like this, he immediately became angry: "I told you to eat it, and you will eat it. If you dare to resist the order, you will fail!"

The little eunuch was so frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's yell that he knelt down and begged for mercy loudly: "Your Majesty, slave... slave..."

The little eunuch was puzzled, did he do something wrong?Why is Zhu Yuanzhang going to let himself die now?

I'm still young, I don't want to leave the world so soon!

Zhu Xiongying knew what this little eunuch was afraid of, so he probably thought it was poisonous.

Just like the servant in the Xu Mansion last time, when he heard that Zhu Xiongying wanted him to eat salt, his face turned pale with fright.

It was Xu Jinghan who slapped the man, and the servant had to eat it.

Zhu Xiongying thinks of the situation at that time now and still finds it a little funny, sometimes Xu Jinghan really has a bit of a dandy gene.

"Don't be afraid, this is not poisonous, you won't die if you eat it, don't worry." Zhu Xiongying couldn't stand the little eunuch being embarrassed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, this sacred order is hard to violate. If he doesn't eat it, Zhu Yuanzhang will send the little eunuch to the west to see the Tathagata Buddha with just one word.

The little lady listened to Zhu Xiongying's words, and raised her head in a daze, even her lips were trembling. There was an invisible pressure on Zhu Yuanzhang's body, which made him too scared to lift his head.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help expressing her disdain for the evil feudal society once again.

In this era, birth determines everything. Some people live their whole lives as humble and without dignity as ants, just like the little eunuch kneeling and trembling in front of him.

And some people, like Zhu Yuanzhang, can decide a person's life or death with one sentence, and killing some insignificant people is as easy as crushing an ant.

Once again, Zhu Xiongying rejoiced that he was considered a very lucky traveler. Although he was not given any particularly awesome system or a script for the counterattack of a useless cultivator, fortunately, the script was not bad.

If I had taken that Ma Sanbao's script, shouldn't I be begging and wandering along the street now?

No, Zhu Xiongying decided to save this little eunuch out of the concern of the people at the bottom.

"I told you to eat it and you eat it. If you dare to resist the order, do you want to see your head be beheaded?" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted sharply.

It's because Zhu Yuanzhang was too kind to him, and Zhu Xiongying almost forgot the song in front of him. The kind "Grandpa Emperor" was Zhu Yuanzhang who was decisive and vicious in history.

"Grandpa Huang! Don't be like this, you're scaring Huaiying..." Zhu Xiongying immediately expressed his grievance.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately changed 180 degrees, and he said softly to Zhu Xiongying: "Okay, it's Grandpa Huang's fault, did you scare Huaiying? Grandpa Huang will apologize to Huaiying."

Zhu Xiongying: "..."

Is it Charm's fault?This damn charm.

"Grandpa Huang should also tell him that this salt is not poisonous, except that it won't kill you at all. That's right." Zhu Xiongying said seriously.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately admitted his mistake: "Okay, okay, grandpa listens to you!"

The little eunuch was dazed by this series of conversations. If he hadn't been by Zhu Yuanzhang's side every step of the way, he would have wondered if his majesty had been taken away.

I am too used to this child!

"This salt is indeed non-toxic. You won't die if you eat it. I will reward you later. Eat it." Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude was a little gentler this time.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang has already given the steps, the eunuch has no reason not to go down. Although he still can't believe that the salt is really poisonous, it is impossible to say that he is not afraid at all.

But the matter has come to this point, what else can I do, so I have to bite the bullet and take a bite of salt.

Zhu Xiongying thought it was a little funny and pitiful, the little eunuch had a tragic face, as if a strong man had cut off his wrist.

"How?" Zhu Xiongying asked.

The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then answered randomly: "It's really... quite delicious..."

I'm a little embarrassed to say that, there is no reaction after eating this salt, it should be non-toxic.

Zhu Xiongying nodded in satisfaction.

"Look, grandpa, Huaiying didn't lie to you, did she?"

Zhu Xiongying knew that when Xu Da brought him into the palace and told Zhu Yuanzhang that he made salt from salt ore, Zhu Yuanzhang must have been skeptical.

When asked about the refining method, she also said that she discovered it by accident while playing around, but Zhu Xiongying knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was always very cautious and suspicious.

So unless you see it with your own eyes, you probably won't believe it in your heart.

This is why Zhu Xiongying had to demonstrate to Zhu Yuanzhang the process of making salt today.

It is to make Zhu Yuanzhang completely believe it.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, the expression on his face was unpredictable, and the emotions in his eyes were very complicated. When Zhu Xiongying asked him, he didn't answer right away.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the salt in his hand. Although he was happy, he was also shrouded in doubt.

This salt is the foundation of the country and an important source of taxes for the court. A few days ago, the salt and iron department had been running short of money, which troubled him for a long time and had a considerable impact on the economy of the dynasty.

As the king of a country, no one knows better than him how important this salt is to the entire dynasty.

However, the method of making salt from salt ore is really strange, and no one has researched this method for so many years.Otherwise, there will be no problem of insufficient salt supply now.But now it was discovered by a four-year-old child while playing, and I still can't believe it, and I saw it with my own eyes today...

After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying for a long time.

"Huaiying, Grandpa Huang asks you a question, you must answer it honestly, don't lie to Grandpa Huang, okay?"

"What does Grandfather want to ask?"

"Who taught you all this?"

Zhu Xiongying: "..."
