Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 543 Merit of Salt Production
"Then based on your understanding of the old lady, what do you think the old lady has done?" Mrs. Yao didn't let Mrs. Yao off so quickly, and continued to ask.

"Sister-in-law, although I am serving in front of the old lady, to be honest, I have things to do every day, and it is impossible to stare at the old lady every day, so I really don't know about this." Yao Er Madame herself, she murmured.

What did the old lady do?
She just stayed under her nose, why didn't she know any news?
I always feel that this time the old lady is using a big move, but she can't tell Mrs. Yao about this, she can only pretend to be stupid.

Mrs. Yao had no choice but to leave after sitting for a while.

Seeing Mrs. Yao like this, Yao Anxin comforted her a few words: "Mother, don't worry, since the old matriarch said that there are arrangements, there are arrangements, and we will wait patiently. The old matriarch always loves us Junior, what she says will never be aimless."

"I hope." Mrs. Yao sighed.

When she and Uncle Yao couldn't do their best, they could only pin their hopes on the old lady.

This year, the Yao family obviously noticed that one person was missing at the banquet——Li Wenchong.

But they didn't think much about it, they just thought it was an "accident" that they stayed for the New Year last year, and they just went back this year.But how did they know that Li Wenchong was not in the capital at all, he had already gone to the seaside.

Because there is a letter from there, saying that the salt has been exposed.

Li Wenchong was pleasantly surprised, so he naturally went to the scene to confirm.

Traveling in a hurry, eating and sleeping in the open, Li Wenchong hurried back to the capital on the eve of the New Year's Eve.He didn't even go to his own house, and went straight to the palace.

When Emperor Mingguang heard the report from the people below, saying that it was Prince Chong who had come, he was a little surprised: "Why is he back?! Isn't he in Jinling? Hurry up and ask someone to come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, the dusty Li Wenchong ran in from the outside and saluted Emperor Mingguang.

Before Emperor Mingguang could shout, he got up first, and said excitedly: "Brother Emperor, please turn your back to the left and right, I have great news for you."

Emperor Mingguang looked at him with strange eyes, and told the servants to go down.

"What good news? The old lady...is pregnant?" Although the old lady is a bit old, who let the Gu family come up with the "secret recipe for childbirth" and it has been proven to be particularly effective?
Emperor Mingguang also couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that the old lady has taken good care of her, and even at the age of [-] or [-], the good news still came?

Li Wenchong was taken aback, almost thinking that Yao Jiuye's matter had been exposed: "Ah? Brother Huang...how did you know? Why didn't I know about this? I just came back from the beach...Could it be that news came from Jinling? But it's not right Ah, she and I are not married yet, we are both innocent, where did the child come from? Brother Huang... Have you misunderstood something? "

"No? Then why are you so happy?" Emperor Mingguang couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or happy, "I thought it was the old lady who was happy, why not excited like you?"

"I...I'm excited, that's because I found a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and I can't wait to share it with the emperor." Li Wenchong sighed in his heart, with a sad face, and complained, "Emperor brother, you are too It’s too much, I traveled so far for you, and you are so good, you actually made fun of me. If I knew this, I would not be so anxious. At worst, after the new year, I will slowly go on the road and go to the seaside to verify , come back next year."

"It's my fault, I shouldn't make fun of you. Well, what is it that made you go so far?"

Li Wenchong mysteriously took out a bamboo tube from his arms, and handed it to Emperor Mingguang for him to see for himself.

Emperor Mingguang looked confused, took the bamboo tube, poured it out and looked at it: "Isn't this salt? What's the matter, what's wrong with salt?"

I also put it in front of my nose and sniffed it, but I didn't smell anything wrong.

The only thing is that the salt looks very white, like snow, which is very rare.

I don't know where Li Wenchong got it from.

"Of course there is a problem. Brother Huang, guess, where did I get this salt?"

The expression on Emperor Mingguang's face became serious: "Could it be that the aristocratic family is greedy again?" Thinking of what happened to Huyan last time, his heart arose.

This has just solved one thing, don't let another one come up, he can't make it through this year?
Li Wenchong waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with the aristocratic family. As far as I know, the only people who know the method of extracting salt, except mine, are the old lady."

"The old lady knows? The Yao family has touched the salt?"

"No, the old lady will know, that's because she is a professional. Brother Huang, don't forget that their Baixiang Pavilion is famous all over the country. You have never thought about why the things in Baixiang Pavilion are so special. it is good?"

"What do you mean?"

"Technology. Baixiang Pavilion has mastered a technology that others have not mastered. When this technology is used in salt refining... think about it, Brother Huang, think about it carefully."

Emperor Mingguang stared at Li Wenchong with blazing eyes, and his heart "thumped": "You can speak more clearly."

"To put it more clearly, because of this technology, the old lady felt that the method of making salt could be improved. It happened that she had read the whole book and read some anecdotes. There is water in the sea, which tastes like salt; there are stones in the mountains. It tastes like salt..." Li Wenchong didn't flinch, and said what he had prepared a long time ago, "Baixiang Pavilion is spread all over the country, and the materials needed will be obtained from all over the country. They have a good understanding of the local mountains, rivers, geography Everyone has a certain understanding of the situation. At this time, the old lady had some associations, since rocks can get salt, what about seawater that is like salt?"

Emperor Mingguang's pupils shrank sharply: "You mean...this salt is obtained from sea water?!"

Li Wenchong nodded: "Well, this is the reason why I went to the beach. I sent a group of people to the beach secretly, and according to the sun-drying method written by the old lady, through cooking salt, stewing and boiling salt, The four methods of making brine and sun-dried salt and directly sun-dried salt have all successfully obtained salt."

Emperor Mingguang suddenly stood up and walked back and forth in the room.

He was so excited that his blood boiled all over, and he wished he could rush to the scene to see it immediately.

This thing is really shocking!

The sea is so big that I don't know its inside.

And now, his imperial brother told him that seawater can actually make salt? !
If this is the case, will the common people in their Daming land still lack salt in the future?As long as the common people master this method of making salt...

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, Emperor Mingguang shouted excitedly: "Good! That's great!"

"Prince Chong, this is a great achievement."

"You say what you want, and I will give it to you."

……

Compared with Emperor Mingguang's excitement, Li Wenchong was much calmer, after all, his excitement had long since passed.

When he first learned that seawater can dry salt, he was no less excited than Emperor Mingguang, but now...

Li Wenchong had a task on him, and he complained with disgust on his face: "Brother Huang, did you get the point wrong? The old lady came up with the point. If it weren't for the fact that I am your royal brother, they wouldn't want to mess with it." Trouble, tell me such an important matter. Didn’t you see that the old lady opened Baixiang Pavilion all over the country, even if she had a method, didn’t she have the idea of ​​salting? Why did they not think of salting? Isn’t it because Knowing that she can't touch this thing, once she touches it, it will be troublesome..."

Balabala, it is a lot of troubles that ordinary people will encounter if they touch the salt.
