Datang: Ten consecutive draws every week

Li Shimin was still sad, hesitating and unable to make up his mind.

Li Yuanfang understood in seconds, and immediately smiled happily.

“Brother Chen gave the imperial brother a list of materials, and the things were sent to the Gewu Courtyard for immediate experiments on refining salt.”

“Why not just do the experiment in the palace?”

“There are many people in the palace, and the royal brother does not want to secretly develop a batch of salt first, and then use the finished salt to slap the face of the family, to be honest, the younger brother can look forward to the scene of the family changing face.”

“Hahaha, yes, yes, let those lions regret going”

After Li Shimin laughed loudly, he solemnly ordered Feng Le to buy it personally.

Alone in the imperial study room for a while, secretly rubbed to summon the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, Wei Chigong.

Yu Chigong went to inform a few trusted generals and directly sent troops to surround the Gewu Courtyard.

Li Yuanfang, on the other hand, left the palace one step ahead and went back to the house.

Because he wanted to go back to the house to get a pot, he specially built a cauldron to boil hot water.

……

Enjubo, Gemonoin.

Everyone greeted Li Shimin outside the gate, and every general’s face was full of excitement.

“Your Majesty…”

Li Yuanfang knew what the generals wanted to ask, shook his head slightly, and immediately diverted the topic in time.

“Please ask the royal brother to come inside and talk again.”

“Well, let’s go.”

Salt is a major event related to the imperial court, and it must be taken seriously, and it is not suitable for discussion in public.

The Li brothers all knew that there must be spies watching around, and no one had been officially summoned to settle in the courtyard, which was more suitable for covert conversations than the palace.

On the other side, several people from the Great Patriarch received the news, and each head of the family had an expression of schadenfreude.

“Hmph, as long as the salt is in our hands, how can the imperial court not obediently obey.”

“Master of the family is wise~!”

And around these masters, without exception, there are villains who offer flattery.

The gaze jumped back to the grid courtyard.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while and began to enter the theme of the meeting.

Everyone looked at Li Yuanfang without blinking, although they all listened to the news delivered by Wei Chigong, but before they saw the real thing, they still had no bottom in their hearts.

“Your Majesty, do we really stop dealing with the family this time for salt?”

“Well, wait for the ninth brother to show how to refine the salt mine we think, whether it is salt used by the army, the salt used by the people will no longer have to be restricted by the family.”

Li Shimin nodded and said so.

The generals’ expressions were quite excited when they heard this, Li Shimin’s affirmation gave them confidence, as for Li Yuanfang, the king of Zhou… In the eyes of everyone, it is synonymous with miracles.

“What His Majesty said, the last general will absolutely believe.”

“Haha, I didn’t expect that we would also have a day when we didn’t rely on the family to provide coarse salt.”

“For the sake of salt alone, God knows how much benefit the family has exploited the imperial court.”

“……”

Because salt is very important, in the past, the most restricted salt was the military general, after all, it was one of the important reserve materials for ancient wars.

The family dares to sit on the ground and raise the price, why not because people cannot do without eating salt, otherwise they will get sick, and even lead to death in serious cases.

The only person who did not get up was Hou Junji.

Hou Junji looked directly at Li Yuanfang and deliberately poured a basin of cold water out.

“Will remain skeptical that the salt mine can refine edible salt, and General Mo will not trust His Majesty, it’s just… Trust the physical object with your own eyes. ”

In particular, Hou Junji made it clear that he looked down on himself.

A wave of anger burned in Li Yuanfang’s chest, and he stared at Hou Junji with cold eyes.

“It turns out that Lord Hou can’t trust King Ben.”

“The salt of the salt mine is known to be poisonous.” Hou Junji calmly looked at Li Yuanfang and said slowly.

“Poisonous snakes and poisonous weeds are poisonous, and it is not the same that someone has found a way to detoxify, the difference is only that no one has begun to study, and no one dares to take the first step.” Li Yuanfang smiled and shot back sarcastically.

Hou Junji was stunned, and immediately said categorically.

“Poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, poisonous weeds, etc., poisonous items that have been poisoned are avoided by everyone, and who will be stupid enough to study mineral salt poison.”

“Salt is something that needs to be eaten every day, we can’t eat it once, and then let the doctor save it once, so that the antidote herbs in all parts of the country are not enough for people to squander.”

At this point, Li Yuanfang simply ignored Hou Junji, and also ignored the gazes of other generals watching the play, and directly said to Li Shimin with a smile.

“It’s useless to talk too much about salt, I don’t know if the things that my brother wants can be prepared?”

“Feng Le~!”

Li Shimin smiled happily, his sharp eyes glanced sideways at Hou Junji, and now he was too lazy to even scold people.

Feng Le, the chief attendant who was named, stood up with a smile and reported respectfully.

“Stone mills, hammers, charcoal, barrels…”

Li Yuanfang nodded while listening, matching the list he gave, plus the iron pot he brought out from the Zhou King Mansion, the things needed to make salt were complete.

“Just wait for the salt to come out, and then some people will understand that King Ben never takes his word for it.”

Hou Junji said without showing weakness.

“If His Highness can make edible salt, he can kneel down and apologize.”

“Hehe, it’s really rare to be a king.”

Li Yuanfang sneered, his attitude was simply infuriating.

On the side, Li Shimin thought thoughtfully, changing himself to Li Yuanfang, if a general went against him five times… Sure enough, I can’t keep my mind calm.

Compared to the fact that he would secretly rub people far away, the ninth brother’s verbal words could not be more benevolent.

“Anzo, Anyou.”

“In.” *2

“Use a small hammer to mash ten pounds of mineral salt into small particles.”

“Understood!”

Li Yuanfang pulled out the cloth and flicked it, and the flying cloth was spread on the ground.

“Knock knock…”

An Zuo and An You took the hammer to hit ten pounds of mineral salt, and everyone at the scene couldn’t help but hold their breath, and everyone could clearly hear the knocking sound.

After a while…

Li Yuanfang felt that it was almost the same, and smiled and patted a small stone mill next to him.

“Okay, stop, let’s move on to the next step.”

“What are we going to do?”

“Oh, now it’s time to pour those small particles into the stone mill and grind them all into powder patiently.”

“Hehe, this is all strength work, simple.”

“Yes, Your Highness, don’t do it, just watch us do it from the sidelines.”

An Zuo and An You snatched the job with their fists and squeezed Li Yuanfang away without a trace.

Li Yuanfang shook his head with a smile, he understood that the two guards did not want him to make a move, so he only moved his mouth on the side.

Mineral salt powder is integrated into water, has seen stirring, filtering, charcoal detoxification… and other complicated processes, clean salt solution is successfully made.

The final process is to set up the iron pot, dry the water in the salt solution, and quietly wait for the salt to come out.
