Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

Seeing that Ying Zigao had reached the entrance of the harem, he suddenly turned around and left without caring about himself.

Dongfang Bubai was suddenly furious.Turn around and stride towards your bedroom!

"Your Majesty, your hairpin has fallen!" the maid hurriedly shouted!

"No more!" Dongfang Bubai said loudly impatiently!
"Your Majesty, this is the jasper and gold hairpin bestowed upon you by His Majesty!"

The maid hurriedly picked up the exquisite hairpin that fell on the ground.Said eagerly!
"If you say no, then don't!" Dongfang Bubai yelled coldly, strode into the bedroom, and slammed the palace door shut!

At this moment, Ying Zigao has arrived at the palace.

Looking at Yuhuatian, Liu Bowen and several ministers, Ying Zi held up the memorial and said loudly: "I just received the report from the Donghai Salt Factory! The Donghai Salt Factory has been successfully completed and put into operation!"

"that is really good!"

The ministers couldn't help getting excited when they heard this, and Liu Bowen said loudly: "After so many days of hard work, the Donghai Salt Field has finally been built!"

Yu Huatian was not very excited, but frowned slightly and stood silently aside.

"Yuhuatian, why aren't you very excited to hear the news?"

Seeing Liu Bowen's reaction, Ying Zigao couldn't help asking seriously.

"Your Majesty, the completion and commissioning of the Donghai Salt Field is indeed something to be happy about."

Yu Huatian hurriedly said: "But in order to build this salt farm as soon as possible, the imperial court spent a total of 800 yuan and set aside more than [-] mu of land!"

"With so much capital invested, if the output, quality, and cost of the saltworks fail to meet expectations, then the court will lose money!"

Yuhuatian said seriously!

Hearing this, several ministers of the household department couldn't help but tighten their faces and frowned slightly.

"Yuhuatian, don't worry!"

Ying Zigao hurriedly said: "The memorial to the town of Donghai Saltworks has been written very clearly. The output reached 1 catties on the first day of operation!"

"Thirty thousand catties!" Upon hearing this, the ministers present couldn't help but be shocked.

Yuhuatian was even more surprised.He opened his mouth, widened his eyes, and his eyes were full of incredible expressions!
"That's right, it's thirty thousand catties!" Ying Zigao said seriously.

"Your Majesty, the Donghai Salt Factory can produce 3 catties of salt a day, which is absolutely impossible!"

Before Yuhuatian could speak, Minister of the Ministry of Industry stood up and said excitedly: "Even if a folk saltworks is a large-scale saltworks run by the largest businessman in Qidi, there are thousands of craftsmen, and the output in a month is no more than that. It's [-] catties!

The Donghai Salt Factory covers an area of ​​less than 800 mu, with only a thousand craftsmen and peasants. The output in one day is equal to the output in a month of a large salt factory. How is this possible! "

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

Another official from the Ministry of Industry also hurriedly stood up and said angrily: "This must be the official in charge of the salt factory deliberately exaggerating the output and deliberately deceiving His Majesty! This is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and His Majesty must punish it severely!"

Hearing this, Ying Zigao couldn't help but secretly sighed.

The technology adopted by Donghai Salt Farm is the modern salt production technology he got from the system.

Since table salt is produced using the sun-dried salt method, it is necessary to build a sun-dried salt farm, make and order corresponding production equipment, and the initial investment is indeed not small.

However, the advanced sun-dried salt method is adopted. Compared with boiling salt hair, there is no need to set up a cooking pot, collect wood everywhere, and there is no need to hire a large number of craftsmen and peasants to cook salt.

It saves a lot of manpower and material resources, and the cost is greatly reduced!

The output is increased dozens of times.

Unexpectedly, these ministers, after learning about the output of the salt factory, their first reaction was that the officials of the salt factory exaggerated the output!
This made Ying Zigao shake his head repeatedly.If it weren't for the East Sea Salt Field being too far away from Xianyang City.

He really wanted to take this group of uninformed ministers to the Donghai Salt Factory to see the actual production situation on site, and slap them in the face!

Let them have a good experience, what is the great change brought about by the progress of production technology!

"You don't have to question the report of the Donghai Salt Field."

Ying Zigao still planned to explain patiently.

As he spoke, he took out a delicate small clay pot.Seriously said to Yuhuatian and the ministers: "This is the salt sample sent by the Donghai Salt Field and the memorial! Take a look at the quality of this!"

Yuhuatian hurriedly took the pot from the hand of the accompanying eunuch.

Gently lifted the lid of the pot, Yuhuatian couldn't help but see a bright light.

The jar contains pure white, fine-grained, high-quality refined salt!

Liu Bowen and several other ministers also hurriedly came up, and after a closer look, they couldn't help being surprised.

"Your Majesty, the salt in this jar is top-grade!"

Minister of the Ministry of Industry looked at the high-quality refined salt, his face became more tense, his brows were frowned, and he said with a serious face: "Salt with such good quality can be bought at least thirty yuan a catty in the market!"

As he was speaking, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry raised his head, looked at Ying Zigao with a serious face, and said angrily: "Such good salt must be the official in charge of the salt field, who bought it at a high price from the market and delivered it to His Majesty. Deceiving His Majesty, deliberately asking for credit!"

"Your Majesty, it is really audacious of Donghai Salt Farm to deceive His Majesty like this!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said excitedly: "Your Majesty must punish him severely!"

"It's too arbitrary for you to say that!"

Hearing this, Ying Zigao couldn't help becoming angry!
Seriously looking at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, he said: "The method adopted by the Donghai Salt Factory is a new salt-making method obtained by me!"

Hearing this, Minister of the Ministry of Industry couldn't help but his face tightened, but he still refused to compromise and said: "Your Majesty, even if the new salt production method is adopted, the output cannot be increased by dozens of times at once!
Weichen really couldn't believe that the output of this saltworks was so large! "

"Your Majesty, I can't believe it!" the Ministry of Industry official also said hastily.

Seeing that officials from the Ministry of Industry dared to question Ying Zigao face to face, Yu Huatian couldn't bear it anymore.

He yelled loudly: "How dare you question His Majesty's words in public, you are rebellious and rude!"

"Prime Minister, a humble position is to speak up and advise!" Minister of the Ministry of Industry said with a serious face!

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, seeing is believing."

Seeing that the atmosphere was so tense, Liu Bowen stood up and said seriously: "Since the prime minister and the minister of the Ministry of Industry have doubts about the report of the Donghai Salt Factory, I think it is better to send a prestigious minister to Investigate carefully to see what's going on!"

Ying Zigao thought about it for a while, and felt that what Liu Bowen said was a solution.

After looking at the stern-looking Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, he decided to send him there!
Since he took the lead in questioning his own advanced technology, let him investigate, so that the facts will slap him in the face first!
"What Liu Aiqing said is absolutely true."
