Da Qin: Father!I really just want to protect myself!

Peacock Prince stepped forward, his eyes fell on the salt, but he was taken aback, "Is this salt?"

Zhao Gao's face was indifferent, "It doesn't look like it?"

Peacock Guoshi also had a very strange expression as he looked at Na Na Salt, but obviously he didn't dare to imagine it, "If it's salt, isn't this salt too fine?"

Zhao Gao snorted coldly, "Guys who have never seen the world, do you really think that our Daqin's salt is comparable to your coarse salt? How ridiculous!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Peacock National Teacher and Peacock Prince froze.

Wherever they went in the Maurya Dynasty, they were highly respected, and where did they suffer such grievances.

So when I heard this scolding, I naturally felt very upset.

But this is Daqin's territory, although the two were unhappy, they did not dare to explode, so they could only suppress their emotions.

And the officials on the side were shocked when they saw the salt face, "Is this really the salt of Daqin?"

They didn't know anything about the news that Daqin had salt, and it wasn't coarse salt, but such a fine salt that it could be said that ordinary salt was completely incomparable.

On the other hand, the Peacock Prince still maintained a skeptical attitude, "Isn't this something else used to pretend to be salt to deceive us?"

If it was said that it was ordinary salt, the Peacock Prince might still believe it.

But if it is said that Daqin has such fine salt, this makes Prince Peacock very suspicious.

On the other hand, Ying Zheng didn't bother to explain much, so he just said lightly, "You'll know if you try it yourself?"

After finishing the words, the Peacock Prince hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, grabbed a small amount of salt and put it in his mouth to taste.

After tasting it, his pupils shrank immediately, and his whole body froze immediately.

The Peacock National Teacher at the side was stunned when he saw this, and his expression became even more puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Peacock Prince just stared at the salt, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Master Peacock had no choice but to step forward, and immediately grabbed a pinch of salt and put it in his mouth.

After tasting it, his pupils shrank sharply, and then he couldn't help but marvel, "This salt is not only so fine, it even has this saltiness, it's the best salt! It's the best salt!"

But the officials on the side were even more surprised when they heard the words.

The national teachers of this great salt-making country have praised it so much, which shows how high the quality of this salt is.

On the top, Zhao Gao said lightly, "They say that your salt is of poor quality, and it's not good enough for us to try, so let's take it back."

For these two people, Zhao Gao is merciless now.

He is well aware of the evil intentions of the Maurya Dynasty. These guys deliberately cut off Daqin's salt, and now they bring new salt, and they must want to play tricks again.

Hearing that the Peacock National Teacher and the Peacock Prince looked even more ugly, they could only remain silent.

Although this statement sounds unpleasant, it is impossible to refute.

After all, compared with such fine salt, the salt of the Maurya Dynasty is really nothing.

When the officials on the side heard this, the excitement in their hearts was simply indescribable.

Immediately, an official couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how much such good salt do we have?"

Ying Zheng's face was flat, "The amount is enough for our Daqin to use for a whole ten years. The shortage of salt has been arranged by Li Si in secret, and it will be resolved soon."

Hearing this, Li Si stood up, "Return to Your Majesty, I will completely resolve this matter within two months, and by then there will be no more salt-deficient people in Daqin!"

As soon as these words came out, the pupils of all the officials trembled.

They didn't expect Ying Zheng to be so powerful that he had already solved all this secretly.

Immediately the official cupped his hands, "Your Majesty is wise!"

And the rest of the officials also bowed together, their voices resounded like thunder, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Above, the corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up slightly, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

This is all thanks to Lan'er!

Chapter 166

After leaving the court and returning to the room, the Peacock Prince looked extremely ugly, "How is it possible?! How could Daqin have such quality salt?!"

Even if it is confirmed that this matter is true, Prince Peacock still finds it unbelievable, even now it is difficult to accept this fact.

And the Peacock King's face on the side is also very ugly, "If Daqin had this technology, he should have stopped buying salt from us long ago, so it seems that he must have obtained such fine salt recently."

"But how could there be such salt all of a sudden? Could it be that some capable person secretly helped?"

The Peacock National Teacher is also at a loss about this matter.

Prince Peacock sighed, "This time, the king gave me Yan's hole card, hoping that I can bring some benefits back and avenge your younger brother to save the face of the Peacock Dynasty."

"But now this hole card is completely useless."

When he came this time, he was full of confidence. He thought that he would hold Daqin to death, but he didn't expect it to end like this.

Immediately, Master Peacock's eyes changed slightly, "Forget it, although the matter of salt can't be helped, but didn't the prince also get sweet potatoes and Quyuanli? Taking these two things back, it's not a big deal this time."

Hearing this, Peacock Prince nodded slightly, "Indeed."

······

On the other side, after the morning court, Ying Zheng returned to the palace and ordered directly, "Call Lan'er!"

Ying Zheng was still very puzzled by the performance of the two men from the Peacock Dynasty today.

When it came to the issue of communication, the two of them were obviously very happy, which made Ying Zheng very puzzled, why the two of them had such a reaction.

"Yes!" The eunuch on the side stepped back.

And Ying Zheng was not idle, picked up the memorial next to him and started to review it.

After a long time, the familiar voice sounded.

【Why would Father suddenly call me over?Did you discover something? 】

Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly.

Did this kid really do something that no one knows about?

Thinking about it, Ying Lan had already walked into the palace, cupped his hands and said, "I see my father!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, "Sit down."

After the words fell, Ying Lan stood up and sat down next to her.

Then Ying Lan's eyes fell on Ying Zheng, "Father suddenly came to find his son, but what's the matter?"

Ying Zheng's gaze was still on the memorial in his hand, without any emotion on his face, "It's nothing, just asking how you received the people from the Maurya Dynasty?"

Ying Lan's expression changed slightly, but she quickly settled her expression, "It's nothing, I just showed them something."

But in Ying Lan's heart, she was also a little bit upset.

【Could it be that Father knew that I sold things to them? 】

[It shouldn't be, these two guys haven't returned to the Maurya Dynasty yet, this matter should be kept secret! 】

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes also changed slightly.

Buy them something?

What did this kid sell?

Thinking about it, Ying Zheng continued, "What are you looking at?"

Regarding this question, Ying Lan didn't hide anything, but replied truthfully: "Take them to see Qu Yuanli and Sweet Potato."

There are many eyes and ears in the palace, and Ying Lan naturally knew that Ying Zheng couldn't hide such an obvious matter.

Ying Zheng frowned.

This brat, wouldn't he be selling these two treasures to them?

Thinking about it, Ying Zheng continued to speak, "After watching it?"

Ying Lan looked calm, "They think it's fine."

Putting down the memorial in his hands, Ying Zheng raised his head slightly, and his eyes fell on Ying Lan, "Is it all just because they think it's okay? With such a precious treasure, they don't have any other thoughts?"

As soon as these words came out, Ying Lan's gaze changed slightly.

He is not stupid, he knows that Ying Zheng will definitely not ask such a question for no reason.

【Father really found something, right? 】

[Forget it, let’s tell the truth this time. 】

Thinking about it, Ying Lan said directly, "They want to buy these two treasures with money."

Ying Zheng was slightly startled, "You sold it?"

Ying Lan nodded slightly, "My son is sold."

Yingzheng frowned, "Lan'er, although you gave these two treasures, it's not easy for you to sell them as your father."

"But you know how important these two things are to Great Qin, right? Selling them to the Peacock Dynasty so easily will make their national power quickly stronger, which is not a good thing for Great Qin!"

Ying Lan smiled faintly, "Father, don't worry, this will not happen."

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and his expression became even more puzzled, "How do you say that?"

Yingzheng knew how useful these two things would be. If the Maurya Dynasty really took them over, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ying Lan was not in a hurry, but said lightly, "I have made some changes in the things I gave you. The curved plow they made will not only not save labor, but will be very laborious. Not only will it not improve the efficiency of plowing, but it will be more difficult. will decrease."

"As for the method of planting sweet potatoes, Erchen also used a little trick. They will definitely not be able to grow sweet potatoes. Then Erchen will say that the soil and water are not suitable."

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a while, and then his eyes fell on Ying Lan, "You boy, a profiteer!"

Ying Lan was taken aback for a moment, but didn't answer.

Immediately, Ying Zheng said lightly, "But I like it."

The two looked at each other, both showing meaningful smiles.

Then Ying Lan cupped her hands, "If Father has nothing else to do, then I will leave first!"

[The Great Snow Dragon Rider has been trained, I have to find time to see the strength of this unit! 】

Ying Zheng was stunned.

This Wu Qi is really good, he trained cavalry so quickly?

But he still didn't let Ying Lan go, "There is one more thing."

"The widow will go on patrol for a while recently, you strategists should keep an eye on the affairs of the palace."

Ying Lan was taken aback, "Father is on tour?"

Ying Zheng nodded, "Now the folks are suffering because of the salt incident, I will go out to express my condolences, and solve this matter by the way!"

Ying Zheng bowed his hands, "Father is wise!"

[This move not only solves this big problem, but the prestige and support it can get is even more unimaginable! 】

Hearing that voice, Ying Zheng was also very happy.

It's all thanks to your kid's salt, otherwise this time it would be really difficult.

Then Ying Lan seemed to think of something, and continued to speak, "Father has settled the matter this time, but don't forget the son's share."

Ying Zheng nodded, "Don't worry, the widow will never forget, you are the first creditor of course the money is indispensable!"

Then Ying Zheng seemed to think of something, and his eyes fell on Ying Lan, "By the way, how much did the Maurya Dynasty give you?"

Ying Zheng was also a little curious about this.

Ying Lan smiled faintly, "It's just a small amount of money, nothing to worry about!"

[Eighteen million taels of gold, it's better for the emperor not to know about it, lest he come to borrow it from me again! 】

Ying Zheng was surprised.

Fifteen million taels!
