When Xue Mei and others came to Lunan County, they were not very slow, and they were not very hurrying.

At least, everyone's mentality is peaceful.

It was completely different when I went back.

The carriage ran all the way, still day and night. They finished the journey of three days and three nights in two days.

It was late at night when we arrived in the capital and the city gate was closed.

The little prince had some solutions. After a while, the small door opened and the few of them entered the city.

"Mei'er, don't worry, I will win the benefits for you. I want to discuss with my staff how to deal with these salt mines. I will not miss them promised to you." Xiao Mingyu said.

Xue Mei nodded: "I believe in the little prince."

She and Xue Chi returned to the princess's mansion.

When he came back in the middle of the night, the maids were shocked and all were shocked.

"...Why did you come back at this time?" asked Dai's mother.

"I originally planned to go and go back early." Xue Mei smiled, "so I came back."

"How did you enter the city?" This is the point of Dai's mother's question.

She was very worried.

What if you enter the city without following the rules and get impeached by the censor?

Xue Mei smiled and said, "Young Prince brought us in, it's okay."

Her bones seemed to be disintegrating.

Xue Chi was also very tired, but he had no intention of being confused, and his mind was full of "Heaven King Beach".

The King of Hell has existed for many years, and it has been so abandoned, and it has been the same for generations.

But Xue Mei went.

After walking around, tens of thousands of acres of wasteland immediately turned into treasures - salt mines that could turn the surrounding area into pastures.

The annual profit can be tens of thousands.

The salt from Liang State can be sold to Chu State and then bought grain from Chu State.

The Chu State, located in the southwest of Liang State, had high grain output and abundant food production. It occupied the territories mentioned in later generations, such as Huguang and other places.

Huguang produces abundant grain, and it is known as the folk song "Huguang is mature and the world is full". However, the Chu State does not rely on the sea, and they rely on inland lake salt, so salt production is limited.

Grain, salt, and iron were all strategic materials in ancient times. Private merchants could not buy and sell them privately, so they needed to set up channels between the courts.

And the responsibility of buying and selling these is another more powerful royal merchant. They just charge a little handling fee and get benefits from it.

All the things you buy and sell must be handed over to the court.

If the Liang State had a salt mine and salt production increased greatly, it could exchange more grain and iron from the Chu State.

In the southeast, Qi State is located near the sea and has a wide coastal line, and it is not short of salt or food, but they are relatively iron.

However, if the salt of Liang State can surpass Qi State, the relationship between Chu State and Liang State will be closer.

Xiao Mingyu went to the palace gate without stopping.

As the sound of Yin drum sounded, the palace people in the palace were about to get up.

In another half an hour, all the masters will get up.

It was at this time that Xiao Mingyu entered the palace. The little prince had a gold waist card, so he could naturally enter when the time came.

"Your Majesty rests in Jin'an Palace tonight, the prince waits." Xiao Mingyu was in the imperial study room, and the little eunuch said, "I have sent someone to report it."

The emperor did not blame Xiao Mingyu for entering the palace early. This nephew must have something to do, otherwise he would not have been so reckless.

He said to the eunuch beside him: "Talk to Prince Ancheng. I'm afraid I haven't used breakfast yet when I enter the palace so early."

The eunuch said, yes.

The emperor had breakfast at Wen Jieyu and went to the imperial study room.

Xiao Mingyu hasn't finished eating yet.

He was dusty and looked quite embarrassed, and his hair was a little bit scattered.

He slept directly in the carriage and didn't even go home to clean up.

"Your Majesty, look at what this is."

Xiao Mingyu opened a cloth bag.

The emperor and the eunuchs were both curious and looked at them, and found that it was a better salt.

This kind of salt is more complicated to make and more expensive, making it harder to buy than ordinary salt.

"Is it salt?" The eunuch asked Xiao Mingyu for the emperor.

Xiao Mingyu nodded: "It's salt!"

The emperor was amused and crying: "Where did you get this salt? Baba sent it in, I thought it was something good."

"From Lunan County." Xiao Mingyu said.

The emperor was stunned: "Lunan County? Is there salt in Lunan County?"

If you remember correctly, Lunan County is a generation in the northwest. It has neither a sea nor a large lake, nor a salt well, so where does it come from salt?

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Mingyu kept suppressing his excitement.

Then, he called the little eunuch and asked him to carry the cloth bag he brought over in.

The cloth bag was a little heavy, and the eunuch had a lot of effort to carry it. He put it on the table after being useless.

When he opened it, the emperor and the eunuchs saw it, it was still the better salt.

Xiao Mingyu: "Your Majesty, this is twenty kilograms of salt - the magical place is not here, but my nephew used five people and got twenty kilograms of salt in one day."

emperor:"……"

Now, he was completely shocked.

The eunuch was very knowledgeable and was shocked after hearing this. He interrupted and said, "Twenty kilograms of salt? A salt castle produces only about thirty or forty kilograms of salt a day."

There are hundreds of servants in the Salt Castle.

The salt burgers are all boiled. After cooking half a pot of water, it will take a few coins of salt, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Therefore, it is very good for three or four hundred people to get one or two salts per day.

Xiao Mingyu said that he used five servants and got twenty kilograms of salt a day...

How can this make other salt castles live?

"Be serious?" The emperor was a little confused at first, but he woke up at this time and looked at the salt without blinking.

Xiao Mingyu: "It's true, Your Majesty."

Then, he told the emperor about the incident: "Heaven King Beach has been difficult to manage for decades. My nephew is greedy and always wants to create the Heaven King Beach, so he asks Princess Chengyang for help."

When the emperor heard the four words "Princess Chengyang", he felt inexplicably at ease.

Any miracle that Princess Chengyang created is not so terrifying.

Xue Mei has this ability.

The frightened eunuchs nodded when they heard this and thought to themselves: "No wonder, it turns out that it is Princess Chengyang again. Princess has this ability."

On the other side, Xiao Mingyu continued: "As soon as he arrived at Yanwang Beach, the princess said that this was a 'salt-alkali land'. She said there must be salt mines nearby. We searched for it, not only salt mines, but large-scale salt mountains, almost exposed to the ground."

emperor:"……"

Do those people in charge of salt affairs eat shit?

There are such a rich salt mine in Lunan County, so they didn’t find it?

He also exchanged Lunan County for Prince Ancheng?

"...We invited the local experienced lion leader. The lion leader said that this kind of black stone does taste salty, but it will kill people after eating it. It can also make people turn blue and purple, just like ghost fire. Therefore, locals call them "ghost stones", and people and animals dare not get close to it." Xiao Mingyu said again.

emperor:"……"

"The princess did not agree, so she made the ghost stone and used her own method to get white and pure salt, which produced a huge amount of output. The princess and I have been eating this salt these days, and there is no problem with the stomach and intestines, which is very safe." Xiao Mingyu said again, "Your Majesty, this salt mine can be used."
