"I'm just passing by, and I'll take a look at the imperial concubine." For some reason, Ye Yang didn't tell the truth.

For Jun Yi's distrust, he was inexplicably angry.

Ha ha... I will believe it?

Jun Yi was also upset, and wanted to go to see Xuechen on the way, but he came to see him in person, but he didn't get a concerned greeting.

Both of them were trapped in the problems they wove, and the depressive atmosphere filled the entire hall.

Beside Xiaodouding's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He couldn't figure out why the atmosphere became so weird in just a few words?

Ye Yang couldn't bear this kind of atmosphere, he raised a cup of tea and handed it to Jun Yi, breaking the weird atmosphere, "Your Majesty, let's have a cup of tea!"

Jun Yi took it smoothly, put it on his lips and took a sip, then put down the teacup and looked at Ye Yang, "Concubine Ye, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Ye Yang shook his head.

The atmosphere gradually solidified, and Xiao Douding, who was serving on the other side, wanted to escape from the place of right and wrong.

Jun Yi's eyes darkened, and his heart ached for no reason. He sat until he finished drinking the tea in the cup. Seeing that Ye Yang remained silent, he ignored his dull heart, and slowly got up and said, "It's getting late, Concubine Ye, rest early!"

Ye Yang quickly stood up and saw him off, "Your Majesty, go slowly!"

And don't leave me.

There was a surge of anger in Jun Yi's heart, Ye Yang was obviously his concubine, but he always ignored his existence, sometimes he really wanted to use brute force to strengthen Ye Yang, but he was afraid that Ye Yang would hate him, so this idea As long as it comes out, it will be forcibly suppressed by his reason.

As soon as he walked to the door, Ye Yang couldn't hold back and finally asked: "Your Majesty, did something happen in the court?"

Ye Yang gave Jun Yi a chance, if Jun Yi said it, then he didn't care about Jun Yi not trusting him.If you don't say it, well, he and Jun Yi may really be just partners in the future.

Seeing that Ye Yang cared about him, Jun Yi felt inexplicably better. Even the things that had been bothering him all day seemed not to be that important. He turned around and sat back, and said slowly: "The Jinghe Kingdom broke the contract and cut off the salt of our holy dynasty. .”

The importance of salt is comparable to that of iron. Without salt, the human body will become weak. If the soldiers on the frontier do not eat salt for a long time, one can imagine how serious the consequences will be.

Before Jun Yi was worried that the Huangyu Dynasty would take the opportunity to attack their Holy Dynasty, so he discussed with the emperor of the Sunyao Dynasty to let General Li of the Sunyao Dynasty sit in Tianhe Pass.

But what he never expected was that the Huangyu Dynasty would reach an agreement with the Jinghe Kingdom to cut off their Holy Dynasty's salt.

"I don't know what benefits the Huangyu Dynasty has given to the Jinghe Kingdom. How dare the Jinghe Kingdom cooperate with the Huangyu Dynasty?"

One must know that when their Holy Dynasty is over, the small country of Jinghe Kingdom cannot escape being annexed by Huang Yu.

"Jinghe Kingdom?" Ye Yang had some impressions, but he didn't know the details.

Seeing that Ye Yang didn't know, Jun Yi explained thoughtfully: "Because Jinghe Kingdom is close to the sea, it can boil sea salt, so all the salt of our holy dynasty is purchased from Jinghe Kingdom. Now that Jinghe Kingdom has broken the contract, the salt in our treasury It will gradually decrease, and by then there may not even be enough soldiers on the frontier."

If a soldier does not eat salt for a long time, how can he have the strength to fight?

"It means that our Holy Dynasty has no salt?" Ye Yang finally understood what Jun Yi was worried about.

Salt is an essential condiment in life. If people do not eat salt for a long time, it will cause weakness of limbs and neurasthenia.

Jun Yi nodded, the Holy Dynasty was surrounded by all the countries in the middle, and there was no sea, so it was impossible to extract sea salt.

The Holy Dynasty had been cooperating with the Jinghe Kingdom before, buying salt from the Jinghe Kingdom, but who knew that the Jinghe Kingdom suddenly broke the contract and stopped selling salt to them.

"Is there no mountain salt?" Ye Yang asked.

"Yes, but mountain salt..."

Before Jun Yi finished speaking, Ye Yang slapped the table excitedly and swears, "Fuck, you have to worry about a hammer if you have mountain salt!"

"..."

Jun Yi said that he did not understand Ye Yang's words.

Ye Yang also knew that he was too emotional, he sat down and said: "Your Majesty, what are you afraid of if you have mountain salt, since the Jinghe Kingdom broke the contract, let them pay a high amount of liquidated damages."

Pooh, countries without integrity should ask them to pay high liquidated damages.

"Concubine Ye, mountain salt is poisonous and cannot be eaten." Jun Yi reminded.

"Hehe, that was before I was gone, and with me, mountain salt can be eaten."

When he was in chemistry class before, Ye Yang refined fine salt himself, so this won't trouble him.

"Really?" Why does Jun Yi feel that Ye Yang's words are so unreliable?

You must know that mountain salt cannot be eaten is an ancestral precept handed down since ancient times.

"Young master, mountain salt is really inedible." Xiao Douding was afraid that Ye Yang's big talk would anger Jun Yi, so he quickly reminded his son that mountain salt was not edible.

When he was young, his family was poor and couldn't afford sea salt, so his parents went to dig mountain salt to eat.

Mountain salt not only tastes bitter and hard to swallow, but also causes chronic poisoning after long-term consumption. His parents were poisoned to death because of long-term consumption of mountain salt. "Of course you can't eat it directly, so you have to refine it!" Ye Yang Jianjun Yi didn't believe it either, he knew that no matter how much he said it was nonsense, so he said to Jun Yi: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can order someone to fetch some mountain salt, I can definitely turn mountain salt into edible salt."

Jun Yi still didn't believe that mountain salt was edible, but seeing Ye Yang's confident expression, he didn't want to hurt his self-confidence, so he ordered the people from the Ministry of Industry to go to the nearest salt mountain to dig salt rocks that night.

In the early morning of the next day, Jun Yi sat on the dragon chair, listening to the suggestions of the ministers, feeling very depressed.

"Your Majesty, I think that we should send troops to conquer Jinghe Kingdom. As long as Jinghe Kingdom is conquered, all the sea salt in Jinghe Kingdom will belong to our Holy Dynasty." An old general came out and said sonorously.

"Your Majesty, I also support Old General Ma's suggestion. Before the nomadic dynasty attacks, we will conquer the Jinghe Kingdom first."

A young lieutenant came out and said emotionally: "I am willing to lead troops to attack the Jinghe Kingdom. I will never let such a small country humiliate the prestige of our holy dynasty."

"Your Majesty, it is definitely a very unwise choice to attack Jinghe Kingdom at this time." Some people objected, "You must know that we now have a nomadic dynasty that is extremely vicious, and a Huangyu Dynasty that is eyeing us later. If we attack Jinghe Kingdom at this time , It is completely pushing the Holy Dynasty to a place of eternal doom."

Jun Yi nodded, agreeing very much with what the minister said.

Attacking the Jinghe country now is an act of death.

Prime Minister You came out and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I suggest that we should pay a high price to buy sea salt from Jinghe Kingdom. As long as we survive this year, we will attack Jinghe Kingdom next year."

Jun Yi and Xuechen had discussed this idea before, and they also sent envoys to the Jinghe Kingdom to discuss it, to see if they could reach an agreement.

As for Ye Yang's claim that he could turn mountain salt into edible salt, he didn't believe it at all. After all, it was too unreal. How could an ordinary person turn poisonous mountain salt into edible salt?

Several ministers came out one after another, and they all gave their own suggestions, but they were all rejected by Jun Yi.

Having not received any useful advice, Jun Yi retreated from the morning court in a lack of interest, and returned to the Star Palace with a gloomy expression.

But when he got to the gate of Xingchen Palace, he saw Xuechen in white clothes waiting at the gate.

"Why did the imperial concubine get up so early today?" Seeing his fair face flushed from the cold, Jun Yi blamed him, "It's so cold, why don't you wear more clothes?"

"The concubine has enough clothes." Xuechen said with a slight smile on his face, "Happy New Year, Your Majesty."

"I can't be happy." Now he is almost bored to death, how can he be happy?Especially recently, he has been troubled one after another, and he even canceled the family dinner to celebrate the New Year tonight.

"Your Majesty, I thought about it all night last night. If we do not agree with the Jinghe Kingdom, then we will pay a high price to buy salt from neighboring countries. I firmly believe that as long as the price is high enough, there will always be people who will not be able to resist the temptation. Salt is sold to us."

"This method can be implemented." Now it can only be like this.

In today's imperial dining room, all the imperial chefs stretched their necks to look at Ye Yang while they were busy cooking delicacies.

"Master Ye Concubine, is this mountain salt rock really edible?" The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is still skeptical, after all, the poisonous mountain salt rock has been passed down from ancient times to the present.

"Wait a minute, won't you know?"

Standing by the boiler, Ye Yang directed the artisans of the Ministry of Industry to smash the mountain salt rocks into pieces, melt them with clean water, filter them with gauze, pour them into the pot, and start boiling them over high heat.

The process was long, and Ye Yang got impatient, so he took out a deck of cards and played with Xiao Douding to draw the turtle.

This game is very simple, and Xiao Douding can learn it in no time, so the two adults are playing extremely childish cards under the watchful eyes of a group of people.

"My God, is this salt?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who had been waiting impatiently, was going to complain about Ye Yang's car overturning this time, but fine white salt crystals formed on the side of the pot, and he was so excited that he wanted to jump three feet high.

When the other people heard about the salt, they all gathered around, looking at the salt crystals beside the pot, their eyes flashed with shock.

Ye Yang raised his eyes and saw that Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry twisted a little salt and wanted to put it into his mouth, and said coldly: "It's still poisonous, so I can't eat it."

The raised hand of Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry just froze in place, and fine cold sweat broke out on his back. Fortunately, he moved slowly, otherwise he would have been poisoned to death.

Ye Yang put the cards down, came to Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, glanced at the salt on the side of the pot, nodded and said: "Yes, that's it, continue to cook, and when all crystallized into salt, melt it in clean water. Then pour in soy milk to remove the calcium and magnesium ions in the salt ore, and then recrystallize the sodium chloride."

"Why do you add soy milk, what is that Gaimei... What is it?" Mr. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry asked in a daze.

After Ye Yang said so much, he only understood the words "add soy milk".

Ye Yang turned his head and glanced at Jin Youqian, who was his underdog, and said, "Ask Youqian!"

"..."

Jin Youqian was very speechless. Why did his master shamelessly leave the explanation to him every time he wanted to explain chemistry knowledge?

Although he knew that Ye Yang wanted him to consolidate his knowledge, he just couldn't help complaining that his master was too lazy.

Anyway, he has never seen such a lazy person. Even when he came to seek knowledge every day, Ye Yang would sit on the warm kang wrapped in a quilt to teach knowledge, and he really showed the word lazy to the fullest.

Although he complained that Ye Yang was too lazy, he obediently explained what calcium and magnesium ions were and what sodium chloride was.

Although he spoke in detail, it's a pity that all the people who listened to him were chemically illiterate, and they didn't understand a single sentence.
