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

When the people saw Chu Yanzhou coming, they immediately became quiet, and no one dared to say anything.

A man in the crowd who had just taken the lead in inciting the people bravely said: "Prime Minister Chu, we want to buy salt. Is there any problem with the salt in Canglan Kingdom? The court cannot deceive us people, we have the right to know."

"That's right! Why did the court hide such a big thing from us? What will we common people do when there is no more salt to sell?"

"If we buy poisonous salt and get poisoned after eating it, it will be a big deal!"

"The court must give us an explanation today!"

"..."

Someone in the crowd took the initiative, and the people immediately started to have different opinions and started shouting.

"Quiet! Listen to Prime Minister Chu!" Seeing the people being so riotous and seeing Chu Yanzhou's sullen face, the prefect hurriedly reprimanded loudly.

Chu Yanzhou waited for everyone to be quiet and then said sternly: "Common people, don't be nervous. I don't know where you heard the rumors. I can only tell you that they are hearsay. Some people deliberately spread rumors to disturb people's hearts." , there is nothing wrong with Canglan Country’s salt!”

Chu Yanzhou's words gave the people a sense of peace of mind. After all, the words of the Prime Minister were quite convincing.

It's just that some people couldn't bear to see the matter and just let it go. Someone in the crowd said: "If Prime Minister Chu is like this, then why does the emperor want to restrict the purchase of salt? Why was there no restriction on the purchase before?"

After Chu Yanzhou heard the voice, he looked at the man who had just spoken. He was the one who aroused the people's emotions from the beginning. Whenever the people turned off their fires, he and a few men next to him would fan the flames. Chu Yanzhou glanced at A few people circled around and their eyes darkened.

Several men met Chu Yanzhou's gaze, felt murderous intent, and lowered their heads.

Just listen to Chu Yanzhou say: "The reason why the emperor restricted the purchase of salt is not that the Canglan Kingdom is facing a shortage of salt, but that Concubine Ning contributed a new salt-making technology, and the imperial court is now actively preparing new salt.

Although purchase restrictions are now in place, there is no shortage of salt in Canglan Country! "

After the people heard Chu Yanzhou's affirmation, some people also raised questions.

"Prime Minister Chu, since there is no shortage of salt in Canglan Kingdom, why does the salt shop only have this little salt, and we can't buy it even if we want to?"

After hearing this, Chu Yanzhou explained patiently: "I have just said that the imperial court is preparing new table salt. The coarse salt like the previous one has more impurities in it. It is unhealthy and will be replaced. For the sake of the health of the people, the emperor wants to replace the previous coarse salt. Because the new salt is in the preparation stage, there is so little salt on the market."

"As for the rumor that the salt mined from the Canglan Country Salt Mine contains toxins and will cause poisoning after eating, it is pure nonsense."

"I don't know where you heard the gossip from, but I can assure you that the future salt of Canglan Kingdom will be absolutely unique. People can eat it with confidence!"

After hearing what Chu Yanzhou said, the people all murmured in a low voice. As the prime minister of the dynasty, Chu Yanzhou could not lie to them. If what he told was a lie, the people would make a fuss.

At this time, a woman in the crowd spoke in a low voice: "Prime Minister Chu, in this case, when can we buy new salt? I have to cook every day, and now there is not much salt left at home. What do you think of new salt?" Salt is healthier and I want to buy new salt!”

"Yes! Prime Minister Chu, what does the new salt look like? Is there any other kind of salt? Isn't it just coarse salt and the refined salt that the royal family and officials eat?"

The words of the common people made more and more common people want to see what the new salt looks like, and also want to know whether what Chu Yanzhou said is true or false.

Chu Yanzhou knew that at this time, the only way to make the people believe his words was to put the new salt in front of them.

Otherwise, even if the people believe it today, as long as the new salt is not on the market, the people will not live in peace for a day.

The common people saw Chu Yanzhou wave his hand, and soon a guard brought a bag to Chu Yanzhou and opened the bag.

Chu Yanzhou grabbed a handful of fine salt from the bag and said: "Common people, this is the new salt that Canglan Kingdom will launch in the future. It is also called fine salt. It has an excellent taste, a fine and dense texture, and a beautiful color." The snow-white color is flawless and you can use it to cook and make the meals more delicious!”

When Chu Yanzhou showed off the flawless white fine salt, the people were stunned on the spot.

They had never seen such pure white fine salt, which was as white as flour.

You must know that the salt they used to eat was slightly yellow. Even the salt enjoyed by the royal family was not as white as this!

"Is this really salt? Why is it as white as snow? Could it be that I spent the bowl and couldn't see clearly?"

"This is impossible! How can salt be so fine and white? This is really a wonder in the world!"

The people were all in disbelief. Where was the noise just now? They were all immersed in shock and did not recover for a long time!

The advent of fine salt completely overturned the cognition of all people, and they were amazed and incredible.

Chu Yanzhou was very satisfied with the people's surprise. He said confidently: "Everyone is right. This is the fine salt that Canglan Kingdom will launch in the future. It is refined by Concubine Ning using the latest technology. The previous salt Coarse salt has become a thing of the past, and the era of fine salt will come from now on. Do you still believe that Canglan Country is short of salt?"

“The imperial court was working day and night so that the people could eat fine salt as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, someone deliberately spread rumors, making people panic.

I know that the salt shop has restricted the purchase of salt, which makes everyone confused, but this is because the emperor is considering everyone's health. I would like to ask if the coarse salt sold before is bitter and unpalatable, and it is not easy to eat.

In order to solve this problem, the emperor and Concubine Ning searched for countermeasures, and then they came up with a way to deal with it. The emperor thought about the people wholeheartedly, but he didn't expect that everyone would be so distrustful of the court, which is really chilling! "

Chu Yanzhou's words made the people lower their heads, knowing that it was wrong for them to gather people to cause trouble.

At this time, Chu Yanzhou said again: "I know that you all have doubts. You can come forward and taste this fine salt. Then you will know why the emperor did this?"

The people in the back looked at each other in shock and did not dare to come forward. Finally, the people in the front row took the courage to take a little salt and taste it.

This taste made them very excited. One of the elders said: "It's really salt, and it tastes very good. It doesn't have any odor. It's just like what Prime Minister Chu said. The emperor's purchase of salt is for us." The people are preparing better and healthier salt, but we all wrongly blamed the emperor. We are really deserving of death for making trouble here today. How could the imperial court harm us!"

The elders' words made the common people feel guilty after hearing them. They no longer dared to question the court, and no one dared to say that the court had no salt.
