After the palace maid's counterattack, the tyrant was fascinated

After this dinner, the four of Xuanyuan and Yin fell in love with roast duck again, and Yun Sanluo once again conquered the stomachs of the ancients with modern cuisine.

After dinner, the Queen Mother, Xian Wang and Nalan Yuyan went back to their respective palaces, while Xuanyuan Yin stayed in Nishang Palace.

Xuanyuan Yin had to review the memorials for a while every night. After he finished reviewing the memorials and Yun Sanluo was about to take a break, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, followed by Eunuch Xu's anxious voice.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Chu has something important to report and is waiting in the imperial study."

After hearing Eunuch Xu's words, Xuanyuan Yin instantly knew that Chu Yanzhou must have reported something important so late. This matter must be of great importance. Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Yin did not dare to delay and said to Yun Sanluo: "Concubine Ning, you first Rest, I have some official business to take care of first."

Yun Sangluo looked at Xuanyuan Yin's frown, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Xuanyuan Yin strode to the imperial study room. In addition to Chu Yanzhou waiting here, there was also the Minister of Household Affairs.

"Prime Minister Chu, Mr. Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, do you have anything important to report at such a late hour?"

When Chu Yanzhou and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue saw Xuanyuan Yin coming, they both knelt on the ground. Chu Yanzhou said with extremely anxious expression on his face: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The salt mines in Canglan Kingdom have been polluted, and there are already people who have died." He was poisoned after eating it, and now there is not much salt left for consumption in Kyoto!”

Xuanyuan Yin guessed that it was so late that the two of them must have something serious to report, but he did not expect that the salt mine was contaminated. After hearing this, Xuanyuan Yin became furious. He slapped the dragon chair angrily, stood up and roared: "What? Cang?" The salt mine in Lan State was actually contaminated, but what happened after investigation?"

"Back to the emperor, I have sent people to investigate, but the reason has not been found out yet!" Chu Yanzhou replied.

Xuanyuan Yin's face turned cold after hearing this. Salt mines are an important part of a country and this matter must be handled properly. If not handled properly, Canglan Country will be in trouble.

After learning about this, Xuanyuan Yin summoned all his trusted ministers into the palace overnight to discuss countermeasures.

A group of ministers gathered in the Imperial Study Room. Everyone looked at Xuanyuan Yin who was furious on the dragon throne. Everyone was trembling in their hearts. The problem in the salt mine was unexpected by all of them.

There is only one salt mine in Canglan Kingdom. Now that there has been a poisoning incident, it must not be mined anymore.

Fortunately, after Chu Yanzhou learned about the incident, he immediately blocked the news to avoid causing panic among the people.

Except for Chu Yanzhou and the Minister of Household Affairs, no one else had heard anything about it. It was not until Xuanyuan Yin urgently announced that they were entering the palace that they knew about it and realized the seriousness of the matter.

Xuanyuan Yin sat on the dragon chair with a domineering attitude, and the air pressure in the imperial study room dropped to the lowest level. Everyone knew that Xuanyuan Yin was on the verge of rage. No one dared to speak or even take a breath for fear of being beaten. Xuanyuan Yin used it to spread fire.

Xuanyuan Yin glanced at the people kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice: "All my dear friends have also learned about the salt mine of Canglan Kingdom. Now there is not much salt left that can be supplied by Canglan Kingdom. Dear Sirs, how do you think this matter should be handled? Do you have any good countermeasures?"

Xuanyuan Yin's voice became colder and colder. The ministers who were kneeling on the ground looked at each other in confusion. Although they were all thinking about a solution, there was only one salt mine in Canglan Kingdom, so who would have thought that poisoning would occur.

With so many people in Canglan Country, salt mines are absolutely indispensable, but now they have a huge problem.

Xuanyuan Yin looked at the minister who didn't speak, and threw the teacup in his hand to the ground. When I need you to solve problems, you all remain silent. Is this testing my patience?

When the ministers saw Xuanyuan Yin's words, they hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

At this time, Chu Yanzhou said: "Your Majesty, I feel that the top priority is to find out why the salt in the salt mine poisons people and find a solution. Currently, there is not much salt stored in Canglan Kingdom. If we can't Find the root cause in time, once the news gets out, it will cause chaos in the world."

After listening to Chu Yanzhou's words, Xuanyuan Yin nodded and said: "Well, Prime Minister Chu, I ordered you to find out the truth of the matter within three days. If someone is poisoning, you must find this person and dare to poison the people of Canglan Kingdom. , I will definitely cut this man into pieces."

"Yes, I accept the order!" Chu Yanzhou replied.

Then Xuanyuan Yin asked: "How long can Canglan Country's current reserve of salt be used?"

Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue heard Xuanyuan Yin's question, and he replied tremblingly: "Reporting to the emperor, the salt currently stored in the Canglan Kingdom can only be used by the Canglan Kingdom. It can last for half a month at most, and can only last for less than 100 years. Until the tenth.”

After Master Hubu Shangshu answered Xuanyuan Yin, he didn't even dare to raise his head.

When Xuanyuan Yin heard what the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue said about the amount of salt left, he felt a surge in his heart.

Canglan Country's salt supply can no longer last for a month. If a solution cannot be found during this period, it will definitely cause panic among the people.

"It's ridiculous. There is only so little salt left for Canglan Nation's reserves. What do you usually eat? Why don't you reserve more salt?"

Xuanyuan Yin patted the dragon chair hard again, and the whole hall was filled with his echo.

"Back...back to the emperor, because of the sudden incident, this batch of salt was originally going to enter the national treasury reserve, but who knew that people were poisoned. I sent someone to check and found that the salt mined this time, It actually contains toxins, that’s why we didn’t reserve it in time, please calm down, Your Majesty.”

Lord Hubu Shangshu knelt down and begged for mercy, fearing that Xuanyuan Yin would chop off his head in anger.

Xuanyuan Yin knew that at this time, too much blaming was meaningless. The most important thing at the moment was to solve the salt problem. It would not be too late to hold accountable such big things until they were solved.

Salt is very important in daily life. Once the supply of salt is insufficient, chaos will occur, not to mention the entire Canglan Kingdom will be affected.

"My order is that salt mines are not suitable for mining. From today on, the amount of salt purchased by each household will be limited."

Xuanyuan Yin said sternly, this is the only way at the moment to slow down the consumption of salt.

Because table salt is relatively forbidden, and every household usually reserves a little salt, the current table salt can still last for a while. Xuanyuan Yin only hopes to take advantage of this time to find a solution quickly.

Otherwise, when the time comes, there will really be no salt in the national treasury, and the world may really be in chaos.
