Chapter 165 The King of Chu ordered people to come up with a recipe for making salt.
"Not only is the salt non-toxic and harmless, the King of Qin also distributes it to the people of Qin for free."
"After receiving the salt, the people ate it immediately without any sequelae or side effects."
After hearing this, the King of Chu was shocked again!
"What? Free distribution?!"
"The King of Qin not only developed non-toxic and harmless fine salt, but also distributed it for free?"
"He...he is trying to force me to death!"
"If the people knew about this, I don't know how they would make a scene."
"King Qin...you have such a vicious plan!!!"
After hearing the words of the King of Chu, the spy was deeply frightened.
So this is what the King of Qin had planned?
Want to use salt to guide the people?
Stir up public opinion?
Use the people to incite rebellion again?
First collapse internally, and then wait for an opportunity to send troops to attack them?
Vicious!
What a vicious intention!
The spy immediately asked, "My lord, what should we do?"
"If the King of Qin succeeds in his plan, then we..."
King Chu: "Stop the news immediately! Do not let the people in the country know about this!"
The spy: "No, my king!"
"This matter has spread like wildfire throughout the Qin State, and many merchant caravans have returned from the Qin State."
"We have publicized this matter a lot, and now most of the people in the city know about it."
"I think everyone will know about it in a few days."
When the King of Chu heard this, he immediately fell into his chair.
King Qin, this is indeed a very vicious plan!
He actually used salt to break his first line of defense!
King Chu: "Where did you get the recipe for making this fine salt?"
"Before, they used fine salt just like us."
"How can fine salt suddenly be made into fine salt?"
"It also removes the toxins in the fine salt."
The spy said, "This... was also taken out by that gentleman."
"what?"
"Is that the salt-making recipe that gentleman brought out again?!"
The King of Chu was so angry!
"Where on earth is this gentleman from? Why can he come up with so many unheard-of recipes?!"
Spy: "This...I don't know either."
"The King of Qin kept the news about this gentleman very secret."
"Our people couldn't find a chance to go in and investigate."
“It’s impossible to get any specific information.”
After listening to all the reports, the King of Chu waved his hand and let the spy go.
Afterwards, he summoned his advisers and told them the whole matter.
The counselor asked, "What is the king's plan?"
"With our domestic salt-making methods, we are currently unable to completely remove the impurities and toxins contained in fine salt."
“It is even more impossible to produce fine salt in large quantities.”
"If you want to follow the example of the King of Qin, you should also give the people free fine salt."
"Not to mention that the national treasury can't support it, even this fine salt, we can't make so much."
Of course, the King of Chu also knew these.
But I couldn't find a solution at all for a while.
King Chu: "Do you have any solution?"
"If I just let it go like this and do nothing, the people will rebel against me sooner or later."
"If they all surrender to the Qin State and the King of Qin, what will I do?"
Advisor: "The only solution now is to find a way to get the recipe for making fine salt."
"Produce fine salt as soon as possible, otherwise if time passes, I'm afraid even the army won't be able to hold it back."
After hearing this, the King of Chu was somewhat embarrassed.
"I would like the salt-making recipe, but the spies reported that the recipe was made by a master from Qin State."
"No one knows where that gentleman is."
"Besides you, the recipe for making salt is only known to the King of Qin and the person who is responsible for making salt."
The counselor said, "Then let's find a way to get the recipe from the person in charge of salt production."
"As long as we have this recipe, we can also produce fine salt in large quantities."
"Then the people and soldiers will no longer have to worry about running out of salt."
King Chu: "Okay, then I will immediately arrange for someone to get the salt-making recipe back from Qin at any cost!"
The counselor added: "If you can't get the prescription, you can just bring the person back."
..........
Nineteen has been very busy lately.
General Wang Jian was in charge of most of the production and manufacturing of the salt field.
But the packaging and transportation are all handled by Nineteen alone.
The soldiers and generals under his command were all busy as hell.
Pushing the cart every day, the wheels are about to smoke.
After delivering another batch of salt, Nineteen went to the palace to report on the recent situation.
After listening to this, Ying Zheng nodded.
"Okay, well done, I understand."
"I'm going to the inn tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
Nineteen: "Okay!"
"It just so happens that I haven't been there for a long time. I just want to go and see the master and see how Wangcai is doing."
He hasn't been to the inn for several months since his last visit.
I still miss it.
Fusu, who was sitting behind a desk, also spoke up.
"Father, why do you ask Nineteen and not me?"
"I want to go to the inn, too!"
Ying Zheng said, "You shouldn't go. You should stay and learn how to handle government affairs."
Fusu pursed his lips, "Father......"
"Not this time, I'll take you there next time."
Ying Zheng: "If you don't learn how to handle government affairs as soon as possible, how can I trust you to rule the Qin Dynasty in the future?"
"Study hard and don't let me down."
After hearing this, Fusu stopped making a fuss and said solemnly.
"Yes, Father, I will do my best and will never let you down!"
..........
Inn.
After a few months, the corn in the field has begun to ear and bloom.
The flower buds on the stem have green silk growing on them.
It hasn't rained for several days, and Qi Pan was taking Shiyi and Twelve to water the cornfield.
They carried the grains bucket by bucket and poured them into the cornfield.
Soak the roots and stems of the corn thoroughly.
This way you don't have to water the plant for several days, and the corn will grow better.
The little tiger Wangcai has also grown a lot.
Grown teeth.
At this moment, Wangcai was holding a small wooden barrel the size of a palm, which was filled with water.
By the time it ran to Qi Pan's feet, half of the water in the bucket had spilled.
"Ouch!"
Qipan half squatted down and took the small wooden bucket from Wangcai's mouth.
Pour the water in the small wooden bucket onto the roots of a corn plant.
Seeing this, Wangcai became even more excited.
It held the small wooden barrel in its mouth and happily followed Twelve, running towards the water.
Qi Pan wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and looked at Eleven who was carrying water.
He looked up at the sky again.
The sun in the sky is scorching hot.
She just felt that her back was all sweaty and probably soaked.
After watering the cornfield, Qi Pan brought a basin of warm water and went straight to the second floor.
After entering the room, he wiped his body with a towel dipped in warm water.
