If their Nalan country had a salt farm, he could sleep with peace of mind!
"Let me taste the difference between it and the salt from Dongling Kingdom!"
Eunuch Li had already prepared. As soon as the emperor said this, a palace maid came in with a tray on which was placed a small spoon made of gold and an exquisite small salt cup.
Eunuch Li immediately handed the emperor a small spoon.
The emperor spooned a little salt into his mouth and tasted it.
The emperor's eyes lit up: "Yes, it has almost no bitter taste at all!"
The emperor took the water handed over by Eunuch Li and rinsed his mouth.
Then he spooned a little more salt from Dongling Kingdom and tasted it.
The emperor looked at Wen Wen: "It seems that the salt in Dongling Kingdom is saltier, but it is also a little bitter, very little and not easy to detect."
Wen Nuan smiled: "This is fine salt, which has been purified and processed multiple times."
Then she took out another black bottle: "Your Majesty, try this. This is coarse salt."
Eunuch Li took it and poured the coarse salt inside into another saucepan.
Coarse salt is a little yellow in color and has larger particles.
The emperor took one to taste, then took out the handkerchief and vomited: "This is salty enough!"
Wen Nuan nodded: "Both of these salts are edible. They have been filtered and refined and are not toxic. It's just that the fine salt has gone through more processes, so it will be healthier for daily cooking."
The emperor nodded: "Since ancient times, the more delicate things are, the more troublesome they are to make! Princess Hui'an's salt farm has been built, and it can produce about how much salt it can produce every month."
Nuan Nuan thought for a while and reported the number: "At the beginning, it was estimated that we could only produce 100,000 catties a month. When the technology matures,"
Wen Nuan carefully explained the functions of the two types of salt to the emperor: "Fine salt can be used for daily cooking, while coarse salt can be used in food processing, so the cost is relatively low. Coarse salt has great commercial uses and can be made into various products." The pickled vegetables grown, such as sauerkraut and pickles, can also be made into canned fish, dried salted fish, cured fish, bacon... etc. This way, the food can be preserved longer and can be transported to more places. Sold locally! It greatly increases the income of fishermen on the seaside. In addition, coarse salt can also be used to make various snacks and foods... "
Warm details a commercial use of salt.
As long as the production of salt in Nalan Country is sufficient, it can drive the development of many food industries.
The development of the food industry cannot be separated from raw materials and workers.
In this way, the income of farmers will increase, and people in cities will also have more job opportunities. At least one tenth of the people will have a much better life, and the country will also receive a lot more tax revenue.
This is a very good cycle of conscience!
The emperor listened to the warmth and then elaborated. He saw various workshops springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and the Nalan Kingdom in the future would be a prosperous scene.
"Haha..., good!" The emperor couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "The issue of salt has always been one of the biggest problems in our Nalan Kingdom. If it can be solved, then Nalan Kingdom will be in ten We will definitely surpass Beiming Country within this year! Become the most prosperous and powerful country among the five countries!"
Nuan Nuan nodded: "Well, these things cannot be done in a year or two. If you want to see results, it will take at least ten years."
In this era, it takes several years for a fruit tree to grow from a sapling to bear fruit.
And many people don't dare to try it. Only when they see those who were the first to try it become prosperous and make a lot of money do imitators appear one after another.
The emperor nodded. Of course he knew this. He thought of the team on this mission: "Princess Hui'an, Duke An Guo and others should be arriving in the next two days!"
Fifty million taels of gold!
It was ten times more than his basic request!
Dongling Kingdom is so rich!
So much money can be obtained.
If he had known that he should have offered 50 million taels of gold in the first place, maybe Anguo Gong could have brought back 90 million taels of gold!
The emperor felt that regret in his heart!
Nuan Nuan nodded: "Back to the emperor, we will arrive around noon tomorrow! We happened to meet them when we came back. We encountered an avalanche, so we were delayed a little time."
The emperor was frightened when he heard this: "Avalanche? Are there any casualties?"
"Only one old man was injured, and everyone else is fine. Nuan Nuan told Brother Chen that he was worried about avalanches on the newly opened mountain road, so Brother Chen sent people to..." Nalan Jinnian said simply Passed by.
The warm reminders inside and outside the words saved many people’s lives!
Of course this is also true.
The emperor was relieved after hearing this: "Princess Hui'an is still thoughtful. You are really the lucky star of Nalan Kingdom and the people!"
Ever since the Seventeenth Emperor's brother met Princess Hui'an, the Emperor found that his life was becoming more and more comfortable!
Nalan Jinnian nodded: "Brother Huang is right. Shouldn't there be a reward? This time An Guogong went to Dongling as an envoy and brought back so much gold..."
The emperor's eyelids twitched!
gold
Absolutely not gold!
He immediately interrupted Nalan Jinnian's words: "Reward! I have many rewards! Princess Hui'an, I will take you to my small treasury later to take a look. You can pick whatever you like!"
Nalan Jinnian leaned back: "Brother, why bother so much? Just send all the contents of the small treasury to Princess Hui'an!"
Emperor: "......"
Can he kill his brother
The late emperor would have forgiven him if he knew better!
After all, look what he gave birth to?!
He was really pissed off!
Nalan Jinnian seemed not to have seen the emperor's expression: "Brother, fifty million taels of gold can do a lot of things. It's enough to repair all the roads and walls in the outer city!"
Don't think he doesn't know, the emperor is waiting for him and the little girl to pave all the roads in the outer city!
They happened to be building shops and houses, but they couldn't finish the construction before the roads were paved!
Who would step into that shop
"Go, go... go! I have already made a plan on how to use the fifty million taels of gold. You don't have to worry about this matter! I still have to review the memorial, so you can leave!" The emperor wants to drive people away. These five thousand Ten thousand taels of gold, before he even saw it, the Seventeenth Emperor's younger brother was already thinking about it.
Nalan Jinnian did not move: "How does the emperor plan to welcome these 50 million taels of gold to Beijing?"
"Welcome?" The emperor was dumbfounded when he heard this!
Wealth should not be revealed. He had 50 million taels of gold and it was too late to hide it. He still welcomed him. What kind of joke was he kidding about the Five Kingdoms? !
Nalan Jinnian picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea before continuing: "Brother I think the emperor should give you a good welcome. This is the compensation Dongling Kingdom gives to our Nalan Kingdom! The envoys from the four countries have entered our Nalan Kingdom. , or some people have already arrived in the capital! Let’s welcome them well and let the other four countries see! How did we get back 50 million taels of gold and two cities from the Dongling Kingdom? "
