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

It has to be said that Xuanyuan Yin is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not only because he is violent and ruthless and likes killing, which makes everyone afraid.

It is even more because the policies he implemented towards the people were all for the sake of the people and did not criticize them harshly. On the other hand, since Xuanyuan Yin came to the throne, the lives of the peaceful people in the world have become increasingly stable.

However, although the newly produced fine salt was countless times better than the previous coarse salt, the people were just happy for a while and then began to feel sad again.

"Master Prime Minister, this salt is really good. In the past, the price of coarse salt was so expensive. We ordinary people had to save money and only buy a little each time. Now that such fine salt is so good, I am afraid that we ordinary people will not be able to eat it in the future." , I can’t even afford to eat anymore!”

"Yes! Although this fine salt is good, it is not something we poor people can afford. Coarse salt is more affordable. Although it tastes bad, we can still afford it!"

"No, such good salt must be very expensive. I can't afford it. I can't afford it!"

The common people are well aware of their own strength. In the past, when they purchased the coarse salt, they would still dig and dig at it, not to mention such a pure white fine salt. They would not even think about eating it, let alone eating it.

In the eyes of the common people, the fine salt produced by Chu Yanzhou must be extremely expensive. I am afraid that only the royal family and officials can afford it.

Chu Yanzhou knew the people's concerns and smiled and said: "Don't be impatient, everyone. As a wise king, how can the emperor ask for high prices? He should be considerate of the people. Although this fine salt is exquisite, the price is not expensive, and it is only It’s ten cents more expensive than coarse salt, so you can afford it!”

When Chu Yanzhou said this, the whole audience was in an uproar. They didn't expect that the price of fine salt could be so cheap. They couldn't believe it.

Xuanyuan Yin also decided on this price after thinking about it. Although fine salt can be sold at a very high price when it is sold, ordinary people cannot afford it if the price is high. In addition, there will be no coarse salt in the future. So what will these ordinary people eat in the future?

So after thinking about it, Xuanyuan Yin decided to increase the price of fine salt by only ten cents, so that the people could afford it.

Yun Sangluo also suggested that the price of fine salt should not be too high. This was also her condition. She wanted people all over the world to be able to afford fine salt.

Moreover, the amount of salt is very small. If you buy a pack, you can eat it for a long time. If the price is too expensive, even if you save money on use, it is still a huge sum of money for the people, and they will not be willing to part with it.

After hearing Chu Yanzhou's price, the people immediately became excited, and everyone's face was filled with excitement.

"Prime Minister, is this true? Is it really so cheap?"

"Doesn't it mean that poor people like us can afford it?"

"Such a good fine salt is available at such a low price. Your Majesty, Concubine Ning is amazing!"

"..."

Chu Yanzhou looked at the people, his expression changed from shocked to ecstatic, and the expression on his face also softened.

"Don't worry, everyone, the imperial court will definitely let you all eat affordable and cheap salt. When fine salt comes on the market, everyone can buy it with confidence and eat it with peace of mind!"

After the people heard what Chu Yanzhou said, the old man who was in high spirits knelt down and shouted: "Long live the Emperor, long live the Holy Ming!"

Others saw this and joined in, making deafening noises.

The release of fine salt undoubtedly gave the people a dose of reassurance. Their worries for many days were swept away and replaced by joy.

"Everyone, today's matter has come to an end. If this matter arises in the future, everyone should trust the court instead of gathering together to make trouble. The emperor is kind and will not care about this matter with everyone, otherwise you will all be arrested and slapped in the government!"

The people were very frightened after hearing this. They also heard that Canglan Country was short of salt and the salt mines were poisonous. This frightened them all, so they came to cause trouble.

Fortunately, the emperor did not hold them accountable, otherwise he would have given them a drink.

The people all knelt down to thank the emperor for not pursuing the matter. Chu Yanzhou looked at the people and quickly identified the person who incited the trouble among them.

Chu Yanzhou asked the people to stand up and said: "Since you are all first-time offenders, this matter will not be pursued. However, you are not to blame for this matter. It is the deliberate spread of rumors by people with intentions, which makes you all suffer." This deception, and this person is also among you.”

After saying that, Chu Yanzhou targeted several men in the crowd, waved his hand to the guards behind him and said, "Take these men down!"

After Chu Yanzhou finished speaking, several men in the crowd wanted to escape when they saw that the situation was not good, but the guards would not give them a chance and quickly subdued them.

"Put these people who deliberately confuse the people and stir up trouble into prison, and question the people behind the scenes."

Chu Yanzhou said with a cold face. The people were all trembling with fear after seeing this. Especially when they heard Chu Yanzhou's words, they were very angry. Only then did they realize that they had been taken advantage of and almost harmed them. Entering the government office and receiving a ban.

"Common people, these people have been leading everyone to lack of salt from the beginning. They have ulterior motives. Now that they have been punished, they will definitely be severely punished. I hope everyone will set an example and don't do the same as these people. Otherwise, be careful. Land."

Some people in the crowd had already recognized a few people and shouted: "Yes, it's the salt shortage they told me. They also told me that the court would sell us poisonous salt. What kind of security do they have? Fortunately today." The Prime Minister is here, otherwise we would be committing a serious crime of beheading if we gathered together to make trouble like this!"

"I see, these people are spreading rumors. I listened to them and came here to seek justice. They are deliberately stirring up trouble! They must have been instructed. The Prime Minister needs to investigate carefully. .”

"..."

The people became more and more angry as they talked. Their emperor hated people who spread rumors and people who made wanton trouble. If today's incident angered Xuanyuan Yin, they, the people, might not get good results.

When they thought that someone had deliberately spread the rumor, the people ignored Chu Yanzhou's presence and rushed directly to the guards, beating and kicking the captured men, causing them to beg for mercy.

When Chu Yanzhou saw this, he did not stop it in time. He also hated these people who spread rumors very much. If it weren't for them, how could they have caused so much trouble to them.

However, they actually spread rumors. They must have been instigated by others. Chu Yanzhou also wanted to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, so when he saw that it was almost done, he asked the guards to take several people away quickly and torture them. He must find out. The person who instructs.

Only a few people know about the salt mine, and they are all Xuanyuan Yin's cronies. Could it be that there is a traitor among them? What is the purpose of this person?

Chu Yanzhou's eyes deepened. After solving the matter, he hurried back to the palace to report to Xuanyuan Yin.
