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

"When I looked at you, I remembered something."

Ying Zigao said with a smile.

Dongfang Bubai asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"

"The beauty is delicious!" Ying Zigao smiled slightly: "Looking at your beauty, I don't feel hungry at all!"

"Your Majesty..." Dongfang Bubai's pretty face suddenly turned red with embarrassment!
"Okay, let's not talk about that."

Looking at Dongfang Bubai, his pretty face flushed with shame, Ying Zigao couldn't help but smile, then picked up a piece of beef, brought it to Dongfang Bubai's mouth, and said softly, "Come, eat a piece of beef!"

Dongfang Bubai opened his cherry mouth, and was about to eat this piece of beef into his mouth.

The gate of the palace was gently pushed open!

Holding a pile of bamboo slips in his hand, the accompanying guard walked in quietly.

Seeing the guards walk in, Dongfang Bubai's pretty face flushed, his eyebrows frowned, and he hurriedly sat beside Ying Zigao.

Ying Zigao also put down his chopsticks and sat up straight.

"Your Majesty, the report sent by the Minister of the Ministry of Industry from the East China Sea Salt Field!"

The bodyguard hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said in a low voice.

"Bring me to see!" Ying Zigao opened the bamboo slips and looked at them, his eyes lit up!
"Great!" Ying Zigao couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly.

Hearing this, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but feel his heart warm.

The dancers and musicians who were playing music and performing dances couldn't help being surprised.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Dongfang Bubai hurriedly asked with concern.

"The Secretary of the Ministry of Industry sent an apology memorial, admitting that he misunderstood the management of the Donghai Salt Field!"

Ying Zigao said excitedly: "I also personally reported to me the output, cost, quality and production capacity of the Donghai Salt Factory! I am full of praise for the achievements of the Donghai Salt Factory!"

"That's good!" Dongfang Bubai couldn't help becoming excited, and hurriedly said: "This time, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he was severely slapped in the face at the scene! Let's see if he dares to challenge His Majesty face to face in the future!"

"It's all small things." Ying Zigao said hurriedly, "The success of the Donghai Salt Farm is a big thing!"

While talking, Ying Zigao put down his chopsticks, stood up, and said to Dongfang Bubai: "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you for dinner."

Immediately afterwards, he ordered the accompanying eunuch: "Call all the ministers from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, I want to discuss matters!"

While talking, Ying Zigao turned around and left!
"Your Majesty, we haven't finished our meal yet!" Dongfang Bubai said hastily.

"I can't take care of it anymore!" Ying Zigao said, turned around and left!

Seeing Ying Zigao abandoning him and leaving, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help showing resentment.

Looking at the back of Yingzi Gaoyuan, I felt even more uncomfortable.

Throw the chopsticks on the table with a clap.Get up and go!
"Your Majesty, you haven't finished eating yet!" the accompanying maid said cautiously.

"Don't eat!" Dongfang Bubai said angrily, and hurried away with big strides!
Only the dancers and musicians were left standing in the hall at a loss.

"Don't be dazed, let's go!" Dongfang Bubai's accompanying maid hastily ordered, and sent the dancers away, and the musicians hurriedly followed Dongfang Bubai.

At this time, Ying Zigao had already arrived at the meeting hall.

Looking at the ministers of the Ministry of Industry and Household Affairs, Ying Zigao said seriously: "I called everyone here today because I have something to discuss with you!"

While talking, Ying Zigao said loudly, "A while ago, the Donghai Salt Plant was officially completed and put into production, have you not forgotten?"

Hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but tighten their hearts.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry even tightened their faces!
They deeply remembered that just because they questioned the output of the saltworks, the minister of the Ministry of Industry directly offended the emperor and sent him to the Donghai saltworks.

All of them lowered their heads and kept silent, for fear of offending the emperor again.

It was Yu Huatian who broke the silence, stood up, and said, "Your Majesty, all the ministers will remember this!"

"Just remember."

Ying Zigao nodded, and then said seriously: "At that time, the minister of the Ministry of Industry questioned the output of the salt farm, so I sent him to investigate and verify the strength of the salt farm!"

Hearing this, the officials lowered their heads even more nervously, not daring to speak one by one.

"Your Majesty, have the results of the investigation come out?"

Yuhuatian hurriedly asked seriously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, what's the result of the investigation?" Liu Bowen also asked hastily.

"The two lovers expected well. The Secretary of the Ministry of Industry has sent up the memorial of the investigation results!"

As Ying Zigao was talking, he took out the memorial from the Minister of Industry and handed it to the accompanying eunuch, and said loudly, "You all should take a good look at it!"

Yu Huatian hurriedly agreed, took the memorial from the accompanying eunuch with both hands, and began to read it carefully.

Looking at the memorial, Yu Huatian couldn't help but shine!
"Your Majesty, the daily output of the Donghai Salt Field can really reach [-] catties!"

Yuhuatian said excitedly: "And the salt produced is of high quality!"

"In this way, the monthly output of Donghai Salt Factory can reach 90 catties?"

Hubu Shangshu's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this, and he immediately expressed surprise: "That's 1,080 million catties in one year! This is more than double the salt output of Daqin last year. !"

"This is just a salt field!"

The Minister of the Household Department couldn't help but said excitedly: "Our Daqin has a vast territory, and there are many coastal areas. There must be many places suitable for the construction of salt farms. If hundreds of salt factories are built, the annual salt output will become [-]%. An increase of hundreds to thousands of times!"

Hearing this, Yuhuatian couldn't help but smile, and then said seriously: "You can't simply settle accounts like this.

The memorial of the minister of the Ministry of Industry clearly stated that the salt production in the East China Sea Salt Field uses the sun-dried salt method, and the salt cannot be sun-dried on rainy days! "

Hearing this, the household officials couldn't help but tense up.

Yuhuatian continued: "However, even if half of a month is suitable for drying salt, the output in that month can reach at least 45 catties! The annual output is also 540 million catties!"

Hearing this, the household officials couldn't help getting excited again!
"Even if the output is 540 million catties a year, that's pretty good!" Hubu Shangshu said hastily.

Then he asked seriously: "How about the production cost?"

"The biggest cost of sun-dried salt production is the construction of salt farms."

Yuhuatian hurriedly said: "It takes a lot of cost to build a salt farm, but once the salt farm is built, the cost of production is only a small part of the transportation and labor costs!"

Speaking of this, Yu Huatian looked at Shangshu Hubu seriously.

Then he said: "There is no need for a large number of concentrated craftsmen and peasants to cook salt together like before, and there is no need to search for firewood fuel, and there is no need to worry about the loss of various utensils needed to cook salt! The cost can be said to be very low ..."
