Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 176 From now on, all the people of Daqian can afford salt

[I don't believe that the emperor can not fart! Yesterday the emperor ate a lot of sweet potatoes and farted at least thirty times.]

[Because I was worried about being smelled, I didn’t even go into the harem yesterday and slept in the Fengtian Hall. ]

Emperor Xuan: “!!!!”

You have nothing to do! You even have to count the number of farts I pass on your fingers, and that system is so boring that it even records the number of farts people pass.

[The emperor also gave eunuch Liu some sweet potatoes as a reward. Eunuch Liu also farted quite a bit yesterday.]

[Poor Liu Gonggong didn't dare to fart in the workplace, so he could only go outside with his buttocks tucked in. ]

Eunuch Liu shuddered and almost knelt down to Xu Jinyu.

The eunuchs dare not fart when they are on duty. Not only that, they cannot even eat food with strong odors.

Because eating food with strong smell will offend your benefactors.

Emperor Xuan glanced at Eunuch Liu. No wonder Eunuch Liu was so hardworking yesterday. He personally served tea and water.

It turned out that he went outside to fart.

Eunuch Liu forced a smile on his embarrassed face.

[But I really want to know how the emperor would feel if a beauty in the harem farted when he was excited? ]

What does it feel like?

Emperor Xuan thought he could banish that beauty directly to the cold palace.

Don't fart in the workplace. This is the most basic professional ethics. Just like he farted a little too frequently yesterday, so he just didn't go to the harem.

[Ah~~ All the beauties in the harem cleaned themselves up when the emperor came, and no beauty farted when the emperor came. ]

[So being an emperor's concubine is a tough job. Even your farts have to be controlled.]

An Xiang nodded in agreement, and then reacted the next moment.

How come I was led astray by Xu Jinyu again? I can’t get along with this shit today, right?

[Eh, the emperor is also middle-aged now, I wonder if he...]

Xu Jinyu's curiosity is so strong.

Emperor Xuan's face changed and he gave the ceremonial officer a look. Although the ceremonial officer also wanted to know how strong your majesty is, but now...

"Go to court~~~"

The ceremonial officer's voice immediately interrupted Xu Jinyu's thoughts. She had a mission today.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan to tell you!"

Xu Jinyu strode out of the line of officials.

"Today I am presenting you with a secret recipe for drying salt. This recipe does not require boiling salt water. Instead, you only need to repeatedly dry the seawater in sunlight to obtain a large amount of edible salt."

"This secret recipe can produce salt as long as there is a tidal flat and cement, and the maximum daily yield per mu is one ton."

"and many more!"

Emperor Xuan held out his hand: "How much is a ton?"

"Two thousand jin."

Xu Jinyu was talking about the output of salt drying by the traditional method. If modern tools were used, the output of salt could be even higher.

"How many?"

This time, Emperor Xuan and many officials asked the question together.

Emperor Xuan's breathing involuntarily became heavy.

The officials were even worse than Emperor Xuan. Their chests heaved and they stared at Xu Jinyu with burning eyes.

I was afraid that I had heard wrongly.

Salt is the most indispensable thing for human beings. Without salt, the people would have no strength to farm, and the officers and soldiers would not be able to carry weapons and would have no way to deal with the invading enemies.

Salt is something more important than food.

Xu Jinyu puffed out his chest: "2000 kilograms."

Xu Jinyu said affirmatively once again.

[In China, a pound of salt costs only one or two yuan, so everyone can use it without worry. Salt is used to melt ice on the road. But here, a pound of salt costs three coins of silver, equivalent to 360 coins. No wonder people's lives are difficult! ]

Xu Jinyu's heart was filled with disgust.

"Crack~~~"

luxury! What a luxury!

They actually use salt to melt the ice on the road. That would be enough for so many people to eat.

A piercing sound was heard, and Emperor Xuan stood up directly from the dragon throne and kicked the footrest under the dragon throne several meters away.

Regardless of his own foot pain, Emperor Xuan laughed up to the sky and said, "2000 kilograms, an output of kilograms per mu. From now on, all the people of Daqian can afford salt. Hahaha..."

The eyes of all officials were also extremely bright. In every dynasty, salt and iron have been the foundation of a country. This time, Lord Xu solved the salt problem in one fell swoop.

"Xu Jinyu, if your salt can really produce 2000 kilograms per mu, I will confer a title on you..."

At this point Emperor Xuan got stuck.

Xu Jinyu is already the eldest princess, and there is no higher title she can be given.

As for appointing an official title, don't be ridiculous. If Xu Jinyu becomes a high-ranking official, he will be able to live a reckless life. Emperor Xuan is worried that the entire Daqian will be ruined by Xu Jinyu.

[What are you blocking? What are you blocking? Tell me now! ]

This time it was Xu Jinyu's turn to have his eyes light up.

Emperor Xuan looked at Xu Jinyu's shining eyes, thought about the good things in her hands, let out a long sigh, and made an important decision.

"Xu Jinyu was named Prince An!"

"coax!"

The room immediately became lively with everyone talking.

There are people who are happy for Xu Jinyu, and naturally there are also people who oppose it.

"Prince An, it is too outrageous for a woman to be crowned a king."

The people from the Hanlin Academy were the first to stand up.

"Why not? Lord Xu's salt drying method can solve the problem of salt for all the people in Daqian. If you can solve it, I believe His Majesty will not be stingy with a king of a different surname."

As Xu Jinyu's fellow villager, Wei An should support Xu Jinyu at this time.

The official from the Hanlin Academy was choked by this, but he was not going to give up: "Since ancient times, there has never been a woman who was crowned a king."

"Has it been right since ancient times? In ancient times, people ate raw meat and drank blood. Would you like to imitate the ancients and eat raw meat and drink blood, and then tie a group of animal skins around your waist?"

"Hahaha·······"

The officials laughed.

"You are making trouble!"

The official of the Hanlin Academy was so angry that his hands were shaking. He pointed at Wei An and said, "It's just salt. It's not like we can't afford it. We don't need a queen in Daqian."

"Tsk~~ It's not like I can't afford it."

Wei An said sarcastically.

"It's obvious that this gentleman was born into a wealthy family. Who told you that ordinary people in the world can afford salt? A poor family of several people may not be able to consume a pound of salt in a year."

"What kind of official is it if you don't even know the most basic livelihood issues? As the saying goes, if you are an official and don't serve the people, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes."

"You say Lord Xu is unworthy of being the Queen. The grain you provided has saved the people of Daqian from starvation. You also developed a method of drying salt so that people all over the world can afford salt. I wonder what achievements you have made, Lord."

"Is it to educate the world, or to have done something meritorious?"

After Wei An spoke for a while, the officials in the Hanlin Academy began to tremble even more violently: “You...you...I...I...”

"You're not doing anything. What are you talking about?"

When had the officials of the Hanlin Academy ever seen such a blunt accusation?

"Plop!"

Officials from the Hanlin Academy were killed in the battle.

"This physical fitness is too poor, I haven't even exerted my strength yet!"
