Chapter 233 Canglan Country encounters salt crisis

Xuanyuan Yin proposed to let people limit their purchases, explained the difficulties in salt mining, and also raised the price of salt, so that people would not store large amounts of salt and prevent market chaos.

The next day, as soon as the notice came out, there was a lot of discussion among the people. However, the price of salt itself was not low. They also knew that mining salt was not easy, so they did not have the slightest doubt about Xuanyuan Yin's sudden policy.

Anyway, every household still has salt. As soon as the people saw the notice, they all thought that it would be difficult to buy salt in the future, and they should eat more sparingly.

In the Kyoto commercial street, the business of salt shops became even more deserted as soon as Xuanyuan Yin's notice came out.

After some people came in, they wanted to see how much the salt had increased. They were frightened by the price at first glance. They secretly lamented why they didn't reserve more salt. The price of salt has now doubled than usual.

In the past, when there was no limit on salt and before the price increased, people would buy a lot of it. Because salt takes a long time to be stored and the price of salt is not low, people would save some on weekdays.

However, some people were curious and asked: "Why did the emperor suddenly restrict the purchase of salt and increase the price?"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper of the salt shop said: "It's not because of the lack of salt in Canglan Kingdom. This salt mine only has a limited amount of daily mining, and there are so many people in Canglan Kingdom. If there is no limit on purchases and price increases, Then you have to sit back and have nothing!"

The shopkeeper said bitterly. On weekdays, he looked at the salt shop and made a lot of money. After all, salt is a necessity and the least sold. However, there is a shortage of salt in Canglan Kingdom. Thinking of Xuanyuan Yin's new policy, the shopkeeper's I felt a little distressed.

Although the price of salt has increased, people are also worried about money, so they will probably be more frugal, and fewer people will buy it.

The royal family is responsible for the salt in Canglan Kingdom, and the salt shops also purchase it from the royal family and then sell it, and they cannot sell it privately. If they are found, they will be severely punished, and they will face consequences.

Therefore, the common people and the shopkeepers of salt shops do not know that the salt mines in Canglan Kingdom are in serious crisis, and it is very likely that they will not be able to eat salt in the future.

the other side.

Yun Sangluo also heard in the palace that Canglan Kingdom had begun to restrict the purchase of salt. She was also puzzled because Canglan Kingdom had never restricted the purchase of salt before, but she also knew that ancient salt was very precious and the price was very high. high.

Yun Sanluo had never paid attention to this aspect before. Although the salt in Canglan Kingdom was still coarse salt and was relatively unpalatable, Yun Sanluo came from time-travel and used fine salt from his own space for cooking.

Because Yun Sanluo puts all the seasonings in opaque jars, no one knows that the salt Yun Sanluo uses for cooking is actually fine salt.

If you find out, it will definitely cause an uproar. After all, there is no fine salt in Canglan Kingdom yet.

Yun Sangluo stayed in Nishang Palace. Xuanyuan Yin had not come back since he was called away last night. Moreover, Xuanyuan Yin would come to Nishang Palace every day during lunch to accompany Yun Sanluo.

But Xuanyuan Yin didn't come over for lunch today. Instead, he asked Eunuch Xu to pick it up.

When Eunuch Xu came, Yun Sangluo didn't see Xuanyuan and asked, "Eunuch Xu, why didn't the emperor come today?"

Eunuch Xu knew about the problem in the salt mine, and he also had a sad look on his face. Xuanyuan Yin had been busy from last night to this morning without rest. As a slave, Eunuch Xu was naturally by his side.

When Yun Sangluo saw the blue eyes of Eunuch Xu, she knew that he must not have rested last night. When she thought of Xuanyuan Yin being suddenly called away last night, she intuitively told her that something big must have happened.

When Eunuch Xu heard Yun Sanluo's question, he had a sad look on his face. However, this matter was of great importance and was not something he could say casually. He said directly: "Your Majesty, I was so busy with official duties last night that I didn't rest all night, so I can't do it today." Let’s have dinner with my wife.”

Yun Sangluo frowned slightly after hearing this. Thinking that Xuanyuan Yin had not rested all night, he felt distressed in his heart and asked: "Eunuch Xu, has the emperor encountered something difficult?"

Eunuch Xu did not dare to tell Yun Sanluo about the salt mine privately. He only said: "If I get back to you, the emperor will be very busy with official duties these days. There are important things to deal with!"

After hearing this, Yun Sanluo understood and told Eunuch Xu: "Excuse me, Eunuch Xu, when you go back, tell the emperor that you should take a rest even if you are busy with official duties. If the emperor needs me, I will be happy to help."

After Eunuch Xu heard what Yun Sanluo said, his eyes instantly lit up. Yun Sanluo was very resourceful. When he encountered difficulties several times before, it was Yun Sanluo who came up with solutions. Maybe she could really help.

As if he had found a savior, Eunuch Xu quickly replied: "It's your Majesty, I will go back and report to the Emperor right now."

As he said this, Eunuch Xu took the lunch box and left in a hurry.

When Eunuch Xu came to the imperial study, Xuanyuan Yin and several ministers were still discussing the solution.

"Have any other salt mines been found in Canglan Country?"

"Prime Minister Chu, please order a few more people to search for other salt mines."

Xuanyuan Yin sat on the dragon chair and ordered with dark eyes.

"Yes, I obey your order!"

As soon as Chu Yanzhou finished speaking, Eunuch Xu walked in quickly and said: "Old servant, see the emperor. I just came back from Concubine Ning. Concubine Ning was very worried about the emperor and asked the old minister to tell the emperor that if something happens to the emperor, Concubine Ning will also You can make suggestions.”

Eunuch Xu told Xuanyuan Yin what Yun Sanluo had ordered. After hearing Eunuch Xu's words, Xuanyuan's furrowed brows relaxed.

Xuanyuan Yin said softly: "I'm afraid Ning Fei can't do anything about the salt mine. The salt mined from the salt mine is now inedible. We can only look for another salt mine. But where are we looking for a second salt mine in Canglan Kingdom?" ?”

Xuanyuan Yin sighed deeply after speaking. After the minister next to him heard this, his hopes that had just been ignited were instantly extinguished.

Xuanyuan Yin is right. The best solution at the moment is to find a salt mine. Otherwise, there is no way at all. The salt mine on site is simply inedible.

Just when Yun Sangluo was waiting for Xuanyuan Yin to summon her, no one came. In the end, she was really worried that Xuanyuan Yin had encountered some big problem, so she had to go to the imperial study room on the pretext of making cakes. .

As soon as Yun Sanluo arrived at the Imperial Study Room, she felt the oppressive atmosphere inside. After she waited for Eunuch Xu to let her in, she saw that Xuanyuan Yin had just lost his temper and the ground was in a mess.

"I'm here to greet the emperor. I was worried that the emperor and the ministers would be hungry after discussing official business, so I made some cakes and brought them over. I wonder if they would disturb the emperor!"
