Chapter 173 Using Rewards
"By the way, Prince Du, it seems that the resentment among the common people has decreased a lot recently, and even many small rebel armies have disbanded."

Du Feng frowned. "What's going on?"

"Could it be that they still have hope for Daqing now?"

"Find out the cause as soon as possible. If the people don't have resentment towards the Daqing Dynasty, how can we succeed? If there are no other rebel armies, our Shuntian Rebellion Army will be too obvious."

Given the current situation, it's not advisable for them to expose themselves yet; it's better for them to focus on developing their abilities cautiously.

Inside the palace, Sui Sui was rummaging through her little purse.

He then released the recipes for making fine salt and white sugar, as a reward for saving Chu Yu.

The three items are as a reward.

The first thing she used was after learning about the snow disaster rumors from the emperor's eldest nephew.

That would reduce public resentment and these uprisings by 30%.

Sui Sui had previously told Emperor Xuanhe about this, and Emperor Xuanhe said that if she obtained it, she could decide when to use it.

Therefore, after hearing rumors about the snow disaster, Sui Sui used this reward.

In retrospect, the reward was actually quite good.

There are three rewards.

The first tassel has been used, and now the remaining two tassels are intended to be given to the emperor's nephew.

At this moment, Emperor Xuanhe was not reviewing any memorials in the Imperial Study.

He stood at the entrance of the Imperial Study, gazing at the falling snowflakes, lost in thought.

"Your Majesty, you can't stand here for too long, or you'll catch a cold," Liu De reminded him.

Emperor Xuanhe has been standing here for some time. If he catches a cold because of this, Liu De will be worried.

After all, this was His Majesty, whom he had watched grow up and whom he regarded as a "younger brother".

"Liu De, do you think the people can survive this snow disaster?" As he spoke, Emperor Xuanhe, who had been standing like a statue, suddenly moved.

"Oh my, Your Majesty, we have heated kang beds, honeycomb briquettes, and cotton. There's definitely no problem with this snow disaster. Haven't you noticed how little the common people are talking about this snow disaster?"

"I hope so."

Even though he had made ample preparations, Emperor Xuanhe was still worried before the results were in.

"The Emperor's nephew!" At that moment, a childish voice rang out from afar.

Emperor Xuanhe turned his head and saw Sui Sui, dressed in a round and plump outfit and wearing a cloak, with only her small head showing, leading Fu Rong and others over.

It seemed that because she was wearing too many clothes, coupled with her short legs, she walked unsteadily, like a clumsy little penguin.

Of course, Emperor Xuanhe had never seen a little penguin, so he could not describe it.

He just felt that his little princess was kind of cute in her clumsy way.

I wish his future princes and princesses would be as adorable as his little princess.

"Little Princess, what brings you here? The weather is terribly cold."

Emperor Xuanhe was also worried that if the little princess ran around outside too often, she would get cold.

"Nephew, it's alright, Furong dressed me up in many layers!" As she spoke, Sui Sui had already walked up to Emperor Xuanhe.

Emperor Xuanhe reached out his hand to her, and Sui Sui's little hand naturally followed.

Then, Emperor Xuanhe took her hand and led her to the Imperial Study.

Inside the imperial study, honeycomb briquettes were burning, so the temperature inside was naturally higher than outside.

So not long after Sui Sui came in, she started complaining about the heat.

Hibiscus could only untie her cloak.

"Here you go, nephew, this is your reward." After handing the item to Emperor Xuanhe, Sui Sui sat down.

Emperor Xuanhe took the paper and saw that it contained instructions on how to extract white sugar and fine salt. His heart immediately stirred with excitement.

Sugar and salt, especially salt, are under state control and are absolutely not allowed to be sold privately; otherwise, the crime would be severe.

Emperor Xuanhe also knew the importance of sugar and salt.

Salt, in particular, is essential for human beings. Without salt, the body may become ill.

Therefore, no matter how expensive sugar and salt are, people still have to buy them.

But nowadays, sugar and salt are not so refined, and they are not cheap.

Emperor Xuanhe had previously considered how to lower the prices of sugar and salt, but had never been able to do so.

Now, seeing the extraction method for white sugar and fine salt that the little princess brought, Emperor Xuanhe thought that the problem that had been troubling him for a long time was finally solved.

If you follow the method described above to extract sugar and salt, the extracted sugar and salt will definitely be more refined.

These white sugar and fine salt would certainly be more popular with the wealthy.

That way, we can earn more money for the Daqing national treasury.

Once the fine salt and white sugar are produced, the previously coarser products can be sold to the people at a lower price.

The people no longer need to worry about the high price of salt and sugar, and no longer need to worry about not being able to afford them.

"Little Princess, on behalf of the people of Daqing, I thank you."

Sui Sui waved her hand, "No need, nephew, Sui Sui also has to protect the people of Daqing."

This was her promise to her father and mother.

Although Sui Sui is still a child, she always keeps her promises.

Emperor Xuanhe planned to start selling the fine salt, white sugar, and the mechanical clock and glass mirror that the Ministry of Works had just developed yesterday, so as to earn money for the national treasury.

These mechanical clocks and glass mirrors are best sold in the Jiangnan region.

There are many wealthy merchants in Jiangnan.

He remembered that the Little Princess's Flower Goddess Pavilion had also opened in Jiangnan, and the income from Jiangnan had been the highest during this period.

"Your Majesty the Emperor's nephew, what about the library...?"

The third reward is for 100 libraries within the Daqing area.

The way this reward is distributed is somewhat special.

Emperor Xuanhe needs to first demarcate a certain size of land, and then the system will naturally construct a library.

"Alright, leave this to your nephew. He'll take care of it quickly."

"Okay, I'll tell Sui Sui after you've made your choice."

After Sui Sui left, Emperor Xuanhe took out a map of Daqing and began to think about where to build the 100 libraries.

You should know that nowadays both men and women can participate in the imperial examinations.

To participate in the imperial examinations, studying was essential, and books were also necessary.

Books from this era are extremely precious.

This shows just how precious these 100 libraries, filled with rare books, are.

Therefore, it is essential to choose a good location so that those who truly need it can enter and read books.

Emperor Xuanhe spent an entire morning pondering and rethinking, making notes and markings, before finally selecting these 100 locations.

"Liu De, quickly have people fence off these 100 places."

"Yes."
