Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 125 Bet
A hint of shame flashed across Ying Zheng's eyes, but more of it was worry.

The conditions offered by Feng Jie are really too harsh. If it is said to be half a year, there is still a chance, but it is only three months. It is related to the problem of salt consumption for all the people in Xianyang City. How can a little girl Ying Liman accomplish this? Come on?

But just when everyone thought it was impossible to do this, Ying Liman suddenly laughed.

"The time given by the imperial censor is too generous. Why does it take so long? Liman can meet all the conditions in one month!"

"Starting from today, one month later, Liman guarantees that all the people in Xianyang City will be able to eat fine salt that is better than the one in the palace now, and the market price will be half of today's!"

Hiss... the whole hall, including Ying Zheng, gasped.

Ying Liman's words were bold enough to cause a sensation, but they were also crazy enough!

Arrogance, ignorance, audacity, simply don't know what it means!Feng Jie looked at Ying Liman, who was only 16 years old, and his mind was full of these words.

Ying Zheng was sweating for his daughter, what kind of madness is this little ancestor, Feng Jie's conditions are harsh enough, you still feel generous!
I think three months is too little, but you actually said that one month, 30 days a month, allows nearly a million people in Xianyang City to eat fine salt. Isn't this a fabrication?

Ying Zheng couldn't believe that his daughter could have this ability. In fact, no one in the entire court thought that Ying Liman could do it.

"After all, the princess is still young, and she can't stand people's provocation. How can this be done in a month!"

"Hey, it's not going to end now, I'm afraid the gods will come and they won't be able to save you, look, His Majesty is already in a panic!"

"Don't panic, this is His Majesty's will, the princess is not able to do it, it's His Majesty's face!"

Ying Zheng really panicked. He didn't believe that Ying Liman could fulfill Feng Jie's condition within a month. Of course, he was even more disappointed that Ying Liman actually agreed, and even shortened the time for gambling.

In Ying Zheng's view, this is a manifestation of immaturity. Ying Liman is still a child after all. When encountering such a thing, she will easily get dizzy, and she is also dizzy. Fuzheng!
Feng Jie took it seriously, and looked at Ying Liman seriously, "What the princess said, is it true?"

Ying Liman nodded resolutely and said: "Of course it is true. I am willing to make a written statement with Mr. Yushi in court. All the people present are witnesses. You and I have listed everything we just said on the written statement, but Mr. Yushi!"

When Ying Liman said this, she paused on purpose, "If this officer is lucky enough to do it, what should the Yushi do?"

Hearing this, Feng Jie smiled coldly, and looked at Ying Liman with ridicule. He also thought that Ying Liman could not complete it.

But everyone is willing to write evidence, and of course they are not timid, "If the princess does it, the princess can put forward any conditions at will, and this censor will definitely do it, and I will never go back on my word!"

Ying Liman smiled, "Then please invite Lord Yushi to surround Xianyang City, beat the gongs and drums himself, and then shout while walking: I am a pig, I have eyes but no eyes, I am a big stupid pig!"

Uh... Hearing that it was such a bet, Ying Zheng and the court officials were all happy, and the atmosphere in the court suddenly relaxed.

Only Feng Jie's face turned green, but he didn't think he would lose, so he pretended to be generous and agreed.

Seeing this, Ying Liman bowed her hand to Yingzheng, "Father, please also write a written statement for me and Lord Yushi. You are all witnesses. When the time comes, no matter whether it is me or Lord Yushi loses, everyone will win." Everyone has the right to supervise!"

When Ying Zheng heard that Ying Liman had said the words to death, he could only helplessly wave his hand, signaling the servants to quickly give Ying Liman the paperwork.

After the paper was written, Ying Liman and Feng Jie stepped forward one after another and signed their names on the paper.

Seeing the two people put pen to paper, all the officials present knew in their hearts that this bet was a bet on the lives of two people.

If Feng Jie wins, the face of His Majesty, the Princess, and even the Crown Prince will all be wiped away.

But if the princess wins, then Feng Jie will be shameless in Xianyang City from now on, so everyone has expectations for this bet, but they are a little entangled in the result.

After retiring from the imperial court, Ying Liman went straight to the Salt Mansion. The bet had been made, and it was a matter of her own honor and disgrace and the royal family's honor and disgrace. Naturally, Ying Liman would not slack off.

At this time, in the prince's mansion, Zhao Yi, who had just woken up, was blocked by Sima Xin who came from the court, and then Sima Xin told Zhao Yi everything in the court hall.

After Zhao Yi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. After all, she was his sister, and she was really strong enough. Even her best friend's father still showed her strong will. Good job!
Sima Xin was not as optimistic as Zhao Yi. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "His Royal Highness, the princess is still too young. How can you say that it is possible to meet such harsh conditions within a month? It is simply impossible!"

"Even if it is to make fine salt for the people of Xianyang City, I am afraid that there will not be enough time. You should find a way to persuade the princess and Your Majesty to cancel this bet quickly, otherwise it will lose the face of the royal family!"

Sima Xin was not optimistic about this bet at all, but Zhao Yi did not take it seriously, because he knew that since Ying Liman proposed to shorten the time, it proved that she had confidence in her heart.

Next, as long as Ying Liman can make fine salt step by step, everyone will be shocked, and then Feng Jie's face will be trampled under his feet and rubbed non-stop!
Since the bet with Feng Jie, Ying Zheng and Zhao Yi could no longer find Ying Liman in the palace.

After inquiring, I found out that Ying Liman now regards the Salt Mansion as her bedroom.

Ying Zheng now hates Feng Jie. He treats himself like a princess and forces himself to be like this. Isn't he just a salt-making palace? What's so great about it? Da Qin belongs to me. Whoever I like to be an official Just be an official!

But what he thinks in his heart, he can't really say that. Now Ying Zheng can only do his best to create a convenient environment for Ying Liman, and then dispatch the most capable people around him to serve Ying Liman.

After Zhao Yi's careful mediation, Ying Liman's current level of salt production has reached the point of perfection.

Under her leadership, ten more salt-making workshops soon appeared in Xianyang City, all of which used improved technology to make salt.

Salt mines were continuously transported from the mines into Xianyang City, sent to various workshops, and then began to make salt day and night in strict accordance with the steps formulated by Ying Liman.

The produced salt was inspected and tested for poison, and after being confirmed edible, it was packed into boxes, and then transported to the salt shop that Wang Chi had already taken care of in the city.
