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

Inside the palace, all officials stood quietly.

But today's atmosphere is very different from usual. Due to the long-term lack of salt, the people are now in chaos, and the price of the only salt left is sky-high.

Under such circumstances, Baiguan has nothing to do.

So at this moment, all the officials are frowning, and there is a sense of worry hanging over the court hall, and even the shadows on the ground seem to be deeply trapped in it.

"His Majesty is here!"

With a soft voice shouting, Ying Zheng stepped into the hall.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.

Like a vast ocean that covered the sky, Ying Zheng's imperial aura surged, covering the entire palace in an instant.

All of a sudden, Baiguan felt a shock in his heart, and his expressions became serious.

After Yingzheng took his seat, all the officials cupped their hands and shouted in unison, "I see your majesty!"

"Wei Chen sees His Majesty!"

"Old minister, see Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand lightly, "Finger!"

After the words fell, Baiguan stood up.

Seeing that the salute was over, the eunuch on the side spoke, "The morning court begins, let's play!"

After the words fell, Li Si couldn't wait to stand up, cupped his hands and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I have a performance!"

Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Li Si calmly, "Say."

Li Si frowned, and his face became more solemn, "Your Majesty, the salt shortage has been in the past for a long time, and now the people are in a mess!"

"The little salt left has been sold for sky-high prices. Even dignitaries who want to buy it have to think about their own pockets, let alone ordinary people."

"If we continue to let things go like this, I'm afraid that Daqin will soon be in chaos. We can no longer just be busy with the sea water, regardless of the consequences of the lack of salt."

Wang Jian also stood up, "Your Majesty, although the veterans believe in you, and the officials also believe in you now, it has been such a long time since the beginning of this matter, if you don't care about it, Daqin will really have a big deal Already!"

"If the people don't have enough food because they can't pickle the food, the world will be in chaos!"

"At that time, if the remnants of the Hundred Families and the Six Kingdoms make trouble, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of turmoil and plunge Daqin into chaos again!"

Seeing this, all the officials below also bowed their hands together, "Think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Compared with the panic of all the officials, Ying Zheng's expression was much calmer, "You are all top talents in my Daqin, why should you be so flustered by such a trivial matter!"

When these words came out, all the ministers were shocked.

Li Si couldn't help standing up, "Small matter?! Your Majesty, do you understand what Weichen is talking about?"

"That's salt! There is no salt problem, not those little things that don't matter!"

And Wang Jian couldn't help standing up, "Yes, Your Majesty! If this matter is not handled properly, the world will fall into chaos and turmoil!"

"The people and the army, the economy and national strength, the impact on all aspects is unimaginable."

"Not only Your Majesty, but anyone who is a member of Daqin should attach great importance to this matter! How can it be said to be a trivial matter!"

Below the two, all the officials nodded in unison.

"Yes, Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister and General Wang Jian said is quite right, Your Majesty, think twice!"

Ying Zheng was not in a hurry, turned his head slightly, and his eyes fell on Zhao Gao, "Zhao Gao, what happened to what I told you to do?"

Zhao Gao cupped his hands, with a smug smile on his face, "Return to Your Majesty, the humble minister has done a very concealed job, and the current supply is more than enough for Great Qin!"

Ying Zheng nodded, looking very satisfied, "Not bad! It seems that the time is almost here."

Hearing this, Li Si couldn't help being taken aback, and suddenly felt that something was being concealed from him. He asked, "What timing?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gao smiled mysteriously, and then looked at Li Si with a playful look of "I won't tell you".

And seeing that Ying Zheng didn't intend to explain at all, Li Si became even more anxious.

And Wang Jian on the side also realized that the matter was not simple, so he said anxiously: "What are you talking about?!"

Zhao Gao smiled faintly, "Your Majesty has said that you cannot say anything."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao and Wang Jian became even more anxious, and their eyes fell on Ying Zheng, "What is the matter, Your Majesty?!"

Li Si was also very anxious, "That's right, don't be a fool anymore Your Majesty, this humble minister is almost dying of anxiety!"

After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng said lightly, "Forget it, since the number is enough, then you all come with me."

"Others, step back!"

……

After walking for a while, Li Si and Wang Jian followed Ying Zheng into the abandoned courtyard.

Looking at the desolate and desolate courtyard, Li Si began to wonder, "What is Your Majesty bringing us here for?"

Wang Jian was also very puzzled, "Hasn't this place been useless for a long time? Did you come here suddenly to miss the old man?"

Ying Zheng didn't want to explain too much, but just said lightly, "Take you to see the baby?"

Li Si was taken aback, "What kind of treasure can there be in this kind of place?"

But Wang Jian was thoughtful, "Is it the treasure of Jinwu Zangjiao?"

Ying Zheng didn't say much.

Walking into the courtyard, Ying Zheng ordered, "Let's get started!"

As soon as the words fell, several craftsmen carried out two large tanks.

The mouth of the tank was blocked by a wooden cover, making it difficult to see what was inside.

Li Si looked puzzled, "Is this the treasure His Majesty said?"

Wang Jian was also a little puzzled, "Is there a beautiful woman hidden in this vat?"

Ying Zheng didn't bother to say much, so he just ordered, "Open!"

As soon as the words fell, several craftsmen pushed the cover away.

Immediately, the white and very fine salt was exposed to everyone.

Chapter 131 Prime Minister Li Made the Veteran Do This

After looking at the white powder in the vat for a moment, Li Si couldn't help but say, "This can't be salt, can it?"

Although he thought it was possible, Li Si was not sure. After all, the fineness of the powder in front of him was very different from the salt in the past.

Wang Jian frowned, "It's so thin, how could it be salt?!"

On the other hand, Ying Zheng said lightly, "This is sugar."

As soon as the words fell, Wang Jian's expression suddenly brightened, "How does Your Majesty know that the old minister likes to eat sweets?"

Immediately, he stepped forward, stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful and put it in his mouth. Immediately, Wang Jian's face froze, and he was stunned.

Then his eyes fell on Ying Zheng in a little surprise, he didn't expect Ying Zheng to fool him!

On the other hand, Li Si also noticed Wang Jian's strangeness, and immediately frowned, "What's wrong?"

Wang Jian's face was slightly ugly, "This thing...is really candy!"

Ying Zheng was taken aback, but he didn't expect Wang Jian to answer like this.

However, Li Si was keenly aware of something wrong with these remarks, "Then why do you have this expression?"

Wang Jian got serious, "I'm enjoying it! Hmm! This candy is really delicious! It's definitely top grade!"

As he spoke, Wang Jian did not forget to chew the salt twice, and then swallowed the salt in one gulp.

Not to mention Ying Zheng, even Zhao Gao was dumbfounded by this operation.

Li Si and Wang Jian didn't know what it was, but Zhao Gao knew it, it was high-quality salt, and its saltiness was absolutely extraordinary.

In the face of such a salty salt, Wang Jian is really a ruthless person, and he can chew and swallow it directly, which is really amazing.

After swallowing the salt, Wang Jian pretended to enjoy it, "It's really good!"

Seeing Wang Jian's appearance, Li Si couldn't help but look at the salt in the vat, "Is it really so delicious?"

Wang Jian nodded again and again, "Really! I, Wang Jian, never lie!"

"Li Chengxiang, try it quickly, grab a handful and put it in your mouth and chew it directly. The feeling is indescribable, you must experience it!"

Li Si was dubious, "It's really so delicious?"

Wang Jian nodded, and started gesturing to grab the salt and chew it, "That's it! That's it! It's delicious!"

Seeing Wang Jian's excited appearance, Li Si believed most of it, "Okay! I'll try!"

With that said, Li Si began to reach out and grab a handful of salt.

Zhao Gao and Ying Zheng looked at each other, they were in tacit understanding and did not speak.

Putting the salt into his mouth, before he could chew it, Li Si's face turned black, "Then he started coughing, and just spit out the salt."

Li Si looked at Wang Jian with a sad expression, "Where is this sugar?!"

Wang Jian looked indifferent, "Don't tell me it's candy, can you eat it?"

Li Si frowned, "You know it's salt and let me chew it, it's too bad."

Wang Jian smiled faintly, "I'll feel better if you are also punished."

Li Si:. . . . .

The next moment, Li Si seemed to think of something, and his pupils shrank suddenly, "Wait! Is this salt?!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, "That's right."

Regardless of the burning sensation in his throat, Li Si suddenly lay down on the side of the tank, and then carefully looked at the salt in the tank, his expression almost crazy.

"This color, this level of detail! Isn't this salt too fine?!"

Hearing this, Wang Jian also looked at the salt carefully, "Indeed, the fineness is nothing to say, even finer than the one we bought and refined before."

"Is this level really salt?"

Although the answer was affirmative, Wang Jian still found it hard to believe that the salt was so fine.

Hearing this, Zhao Gao also replied indifferently: "Of course it is salt, but this minister was entrusted by His Majesty to refine it himself, can it be fake?"

Both Wang Jian and Li Si's pupils shrank slightly, and their eyes were even more surprised as they looked at Zhao Gao, "Entrusted by His Majesty?!"

They hadn't received any instructions before, and they had been kept in the dark, so yes, they didn't know anything.

Because of the salt, both of them were in a hurry.

But looking at Zhao Gao's appearance now, he clearly knew something inside, the two of them naturally felt very surprised.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng also said lightly, "Because this matter must be kept secret, if it is leaked, it will be ruined, so the widow only let Zhao Gao do it in secret!"

Li Si frowned, and after thinking carefully for a while, he said, "Could it be that the reason why His Majesty is so obsessed with sea water is related to this matter?"

Now that the matter is basically done, Ying Zheng no longer hides anything, nodded slightly, "That's right."

But Wang Jian was still puzzled, "Why is the sea water related to this salt?"

Then Ying Zheng explained: "The salt is drawn from the sea water."

Both Wang Jian and Li Si's expressions changed.

"From the sea water?!"

"From the sea water?!"

This statement sounds extremely outrageous. If it wasn't for Ying Zheng who said this, he would have been beaten out by the liar on the spot.

Ying Zheng was not surprised by the surprised looks of the two of them.

After all, when I heard Ying Lan say this, I was shocked too, wondering if it was nonsense.

What a precious thing is this salt, and what a useless thing is this sea water?
