People are in the court, and the queen is a faint king

"Your Majesty, the body of a dragon is the most important thing. When you are seriously ill, don't make any random orders." Wang Shoufu said, he is also one of the victims, and he has been worrying and tiring every day to appease all the officials, fearing that something big will happen.

Being reprimanded by Wang Shoufu again, the empress felt angry again, but there was still no expression on her face.

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play." Minister of the Ministry of Industry stepped forward and said.

The Empress's eyes lit up: "Ai Qing, please tell me."

"Your Majesty, in the past few days, Lord Muhou has taken the lead, with the assistance of my minister and the official 'Li Yan'. Under the vomiting of blood, Lord Hou has created a new method of salt production, which can extract a large amount of refined salt from the salt mine. The amount is unbelievable. Since then, besides the sea salt fields, I have developed a new salt-making method in Daluo!" Yu Shangshu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was excited and trembling faintly with excitement.

Civil and military officials were all silent.

Among the hundreds of officials present, how many people still can't taste the high-grade salt that can be called "refined salt", most of them are miscellaneous salt, which is only better than the salt mine.

The empress listened, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Aiqing, what is the incredible amount?"

"Your Majesty." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry straightened his waist, and proudly looked at the officials who were looking forward to, hoping, and looking at him with complicated eyes. He, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, would also have such a day to show his holiness in front of others.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the amount is that as long as it is promoted, Daluo will never be short of refined salt. Common people, everyone can afford refined salt, and every household will never be short of refined salt."

The sound was like thunder.

The entire court fell silent for an instant, as if the daytime thunder was ringing in my ears.

Above the court hall, the empress was also stunned on the dragon chair.

Those words are all in my mind.

In Daluo, there will never be a lack of salt again, it is still refined salt, and everyone can afford salt.

A few words, repeated in my mind.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." A voice came from the side of my ear.

The empress suddenly came to her senses, it was Yu Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry who was calling her.

"Your Majesty, I have already discussed with Mu Hou about the method of salt refining and promotion. I ask His Majesty for permission. Duke Wei will take the lead. What does Your Majesty think?"

"Okay, okay!" The Empress showed a smile on her face, and her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, competing for beauty. Many officials in the court, civil servants and military generals were stunned for a moment, and then knelt down in unison, because at that For a moment, a thought of injustice arose in my heart, and even the four words of overwhelming the country and the city are not enough to describe the revelation at that moment. What kind of a heavenly posture is that?

The Empress's face quickly returned to its previous calm, the corners of her mouth still couldn't hide her smile, and she said: "Very good. I am very happy. This is a blessing for the great fall, a blessing for the world, to pass on my will, and Duke Wei will take the lead to teach and spread it to the world. In addition, today is set as one of the small festivals, and the whole world celebrates it."

"Your Majesty is wise." All the officials said together.

The whole court was in high spirits, and all the civil and military officials couldn't hide their smiles.

Da Luo added another peerless boutique.

Following the rare crops before, now there is a rare salt refining method. In this way, the prosperity of Daluo is just around the corner. By then, how much silver can be exchanged for Daluo by relying on salt diplomacy and selling it abroad?

Moreover, this is still faster and more effective than rare crops.

When the country prospers, all officials will naturally prosper too.

When the national finances are improved, their salaries will also be improved and their living environment will be better.

"Okay, wonderful, this, this is simply a sign of great prosperity, Your Majesty, you are wise." An old courtier stroked his beard and praised repeatedly.

"The great prosperity is all thanks to His Majesty." One after another official said, the more they talked, the more they got worse.

What is this about His Majesty?

The empress was also very happy at first, but soon she thought of what she had done, and her heart gradually trembled.

This refined salt was made by the traitor, and it was made by overcoming difficulties in the prison when I took him into custody...

To put it bluntly, it was made when she was about to die, but what about her?Almost beheaded him, this is because he researched it, if he didn't research it or it was a bit late, and I beheaded him again, wouldn't this be really a sinner through the ages?

Thinking of this, the Empress became more and more guilty.

"My dear ones, if you have something to play, you can leave the court without incident." The empress said hurriedly.

It's too late.

The civil and military officials also thought of this matter, and when they reacted, they caught the Empress with verbal criticism.

"Your Majesty, you have gone too far this time."

"Your Majesty, you really lost your head this time..." I slammed the emperor for a while, saying that fortunately I repented, otherwise the people of the world will lose all hearts, and if anything goes wrong, I will be a sinner in the history books. How ugly and ugly it is.

When she was in court, the empress had a serious face, she couldn't see any joy.

Zi'er watched, feeling sympathetic to His Majesty, but there was nothing she could do.

This kind of great news should really be celebrated by the whole world. His Majesty should be in a good mood, but the officials are too poisonous. On such a good day, His Majesty said that all the good mood was gone, but no. The method, who made His Majesty unable to think about it before?Master Mu must be caught and beheaded.

It's fine if you want to behead it, but in the end you can't bear it, let it be if you can't bear it, and Master Mu has set up an army of incomparable meritorious deeds.

"As for the reward, we'll talk about it some other day..." After leaving the imperial court, the empress went all the way back to the palace with a stern face, feeling angry and didn't know where to vent it, it was her own fault. .

Chapter 31

"Your Majesty, are you angry again?" In the depths of the cabinet, an ancient female voice said.

"Hmm!" the empress said angrily, "Gu was scolded because of him again, and all officials condemned Gu."

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about your fate if you fail to cultivate?"

"Thought about it." The female emperor said gloomily: "The national teacher may have other methods, not to kill the rebellious minister, but also to keep Gu from being affected."

After a short silence, after a while: "Your Majesty, Pindao has a set of meditation skills, but if you practice it concurrently, Your Majesty will also worry about the affairs of the court. I'm afraid that in the future, except for the time for practicing Taoism, the rest of the time will not even be enough for rest."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" The Empress' eyes became very cold.

"Your Majesty, in Pindao's heart, His Majesty is the most important thing, and everything else is foreign."

"That's it!" Empress Shen stared at the cabinet for a moment, her voice could not hear any emotion!

On the other hand, Wei Ge set out to refine refined salt and started arrangements with the Ministry of Industry.

Refining, selling, contacting local governments, keeping secrets, and arranging business routes.

"Illegal salt has always been the top priority of the government. Now that the country has been established, there are countless people selling illegal salt. It is impossible to guard against it. It is just time to take advantage of this move to hit it hard." Wei Ge said lightly. When a large amount of refined salt appeared, it was The end of the illegal salt merchants who sell private salt.

This matter is very important, and there are all kinds of tedious details. Wei Ge has a lot of things to do every day, and it is difficult to organize it. Afterwards, he made a rough calculation and took a breath.

In the short term, just relying on the government to sell refined salt in Daluo, the annual harvest may be tens of millions of taels, which will greatly fill the national treasury.

This is not counted as business and transactions with other forces.

How incredible is it that Daluo alone can generate tens of millions of taels more?

Besides, fine salt is needed by the whole world, not just Daluo.

This is a horrible income.

Even, it will have an impact on other countries.

This is a horrible income.

"The refining method of refined salt needs to be kept strictly confidential." Wei Ge said, usually, refined salt is expensive, even high-ranking officials and dignitaries, it is quite painful to eat it, let alone ordinary people?They are all bad salt to eat. If refined salt can be refined in large quantities, the price of refined salt will be greatly reduced, and the people can afford it. It will easily cause a huge impact on the salt industry of other countries, and this is a general trend that cannot be stopped. Legislation is hard to stop.

"Wei Gong..." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry also calculated the account, and said solemnly: "According to the regulations of the Ministry of Industry that His Majesty reformed radically at the time, Lord Muhou should share [-]% of the total income."

"Twenty percent..." Duke Wei stopped talking! !

Morning the next day.

There was a usual quarrel.

"Your Majesty has not been to the imperial dining room on time for several days. How can this be so, Your Majesty?" An official knelt down and pointed at the daily life of the Empress, saying that she should read books on time, fill herself up, and not be wasted. I don't eat on time, and I often don't even enter the door of the imperial dining room for several days. Every day, the imperial dining room prepares dozens of dishes, all of which are wasted. I also say that the empress has reached her age and the harem is empty. If it is not good, we must also establish a royal husband [Huanghu=concubine], give birth to a prince as soon as possible, choose a prince to establish him, and establish the foundation of the country for Daluo.

One by one, the courtiers argued endlessly.

And trivia all over the place.

"Your Majesty, we are waiting for the earth to shake in Hanzhong, and the people of the place have suffered heavy losses. Please Your Majesty send out food to relieve the disaster, so as to calm the hearts of the people."

"Your Majesty, I want to be the master of my ministers. My rebellious son was beaten to death by a warrior on the official road in the capital." An official cried.

"His Majesty……"

"Your Majesty, the autumn test is approaching..."

The empress dealt with it one by one, and she didn't handle it by herself anyway, she didn't care about all the points that could be divided, and as for the matter of eating and establishing a king, she didn't even listen to it, she just muddled through it casually, even the most important thing in the past, the upcoming In the coming autumn exam, there is also a lot less concern.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Xiping has made great contributions to the imperial court. Following the rare crops, he has also introduced a method of refining refined salt to benefit the world. I believe that rewards should be made according to merit." Wei Ge stepped forward and said.

The Empress nodded: "Reward."

"Your Majesty, there is a difference between the ministers." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said.

He was worrying about how much silver would be withdrawn from the national treasury to give to Mu Shisao. Old Qin Wenyan looked over with a puzzled expression. Wasn't the minister of the Ministry of Industry already Mu Shisao's dog?

Yu Shangshu respected him both inside and out, and wished he could become an ancestor, why should he be rewarded now, why is he still different?

But in a blink of an eye, Lao Qin became happy, there is something special, there is something special.

If there is a difference, he can save a little silver.

The autumn harvest has not yet arrived, and now the national treasury is fully supported by silver collected from private treasuries. This is even more terrifying than before. The treasury was empty before, and the impact will definitely not be as great as it is now.

Now if there is a problem with the silver in the national treasury, if it can't keep up, the reputation of the private treasury will collapse, and the reputation of the whole country will be lost. .

Every day, Lao Qin lived in fear, wishing to break a tael of silver into ten taels, and kept a close eye on the treasury.

"What objection does Ai Qing have?" The empress frowned, and she couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the Ministry of Industry was selling in the old man's gourd. Isn't this old thing most admired and respected by that surnamed Mu?

"Your Majesty, you have already rewarded Marquis Xiping, and there is no need to reward him again."

"What do you mean? You old bastard." An old official in his 60s blew his beard and stared, and pointed to the nose of the minister of the Ministry of Industry: "The old minister thought you were a bit distracted, but I didn't expect you to be a wolf-hearted person. Do you think we are blind? When will His Majesty award you a reward, and you usually show a sincere and sincere attitude to the waiter, and now you come up and apply eye drops, you are not a son of man!"

The old minister cursed for a while.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry's face was green and white for a while, the main reason was that the old man's words were too ugly and too hateful, how could he scold him like this, but this person was also kind, so the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was angry but didn't bother with him, Continued: "Your Majesty Huiqian, you made drastic reforms back then, and established laws and regulations. Anyone who has contributed to the Ministry of Industry and created benefits to the world will receive [-]% of the income, so you have already rewarded Xipinghou in advance, and there is no need to continue reward."

When all the officials heard it, they felt very uncomfortable. Although the previous Majesty put great pressure on the courtiers, and every minister held his head up and handled affairs with fear every day, but the Majesty at that time was an out-and-out Mingjun, the empress. Concerned about the world, a series of reforms, extraordinary heroism, vigorous and resolute, and rolling heads, finally gave Da Luo the opportunity to enter the road of a prosperous dynasty.

His Majesty at that time was so nostalgic, all officials thought that the eternal prosperity was about to come, and it was a shame that he was bewitched by the demon way later and neglected the court from then on.

But soon all the officials came to their senses, and their hearts trembled.

[-]%?

There is indeed such a thing, but [-]% reward? ? ?

All the courtiers who responded quickly widened their eyes instantly.

Lao Qin's heart shivered violently, and then sweat appeared on his forehead, and he looked at the minister of the Ministry of Industry in disbelief, this old treacherous thing, who was waiting here so far, actually took this law as an issue.

Lao Qin's heart suddenly turned cold.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember?" said the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

"It's true." The Empress said after pondering for a moment.

"So you have already rewarded it, and you don't need to reward it again." Minister of the Ministry of Industry said.

And Nana, the former old courtier, said awkwardly: "Yu Shangshu, it's the old man who made a mistake..."

Old Yu didn't bother to talk to him, this old bastard spoke too badly, and it was annoying to watch.

"Your Majesty, don't do it." Lao Qin, who reacted quickly, turned pale and knelt down: "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be planned for the long-term. Don't act rashly. Your Majesty, this is a big matter, think twice."

PS: Thank you [Otto Apocalypse] for the monthly pass, and thank you [Idle] for another [-] point reward, thank you.

Chapter 32

"Your Majesty, [-]% is too much, too much, Your Majesty, do you know how much [-]% is..." Old Qin trembled.

The empress reacted abruptly, her heart trembled slightly, and she looked at Wei Ge.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Ge took a step forward: "Your Majesty created a method of extracting mineral salt, the amount of which can completely replace inferior salt, and the price will be greatly reduced compared with the past, so that people all over the world can afford it. Therefore, it is roughly estimated that in one year, the income from salt alone will increase by at least ten to twenty times, and the net income will be about 3000 million taels to 4000 million taels. There will be more transactions established by various forces, and it is difficult to speculate on the details... Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

When talking about the latter, Wei Ge saw that the empress was a little lost, her face turned pale, and she looked like she was being shocked.

She vaguely guessed that there would be a lot, but she didn't expect so many.

And this news, like a bolt from the blue, struck the minds of all the court officials in an instant.

"Four, 4000 million taels of silver?" Countless officials were stunned, they never thought that there would be such a terrifying amount. Who would have imagined this?
