"Little friend Su, there is one thing that puzzles me. When I first came to visit last time, I saw the people in your village actually spreading salt on the ground to melt the ice and snow."
"I'm very confused about this. Our Tang Dynasty is so short of salt, why does your village have so much salt?!"
His Majesty Li Er expressed the doubts that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
"Oh, you said this, we refine all those refined salts ourselves."
Su Chen said casually, as if this was just a trivial matter.
Because the Tang Dynasty did not allow the private sale of salt, Su Chen never thought of making money from salt in the first place.
With Su Chen's ability, there is no shortage of income from salt.
Moreover, salt is a necessity related to people's lives, and Su Chen does not bother to make huge profits from it.
Therefore, he directly taught everyone the method of refining refined salt.
After receiving Su Chen's answer, His Majesty Li Er felt relieved and said: "Little friend Su, since you have the method of refining refined salt, why don't you hand it over to the imperial court and benefit the people all over the world?"
"With such an important move, you will definitely be praised by the current Holy Emperor!"
"By then, not only gold, silver and jewels will be given, but there will also be a possibility of being awarded a title!"
Hearing this, Su Chen shook his head and said with complicated eyes: "Old Li, do you think with the temperament of the current Holy Emperor, after I offer the refining method, there will still be a chance to come out?"
Forehead……
Su Chen's question directly left His Majesty Li Er speechless.
Yes, with my talent-loving personality, after learning about a talent like Su Chen, how could I still let him run away?
After learning about Su Chen's concerns, His Majesty Li Er thought for a moment, and then said: "In that case, why not let me hand over this salt-making method to Your Majesty through the hands of an old friend."
"In this case, it can improve the living standards of the people of the Tang Dynasty. It is a great merit!"
"And when the time comes, all of His Majesty's rewards will be yours. At the same time, I will keep it a secret for you. What do you think?"
After hearing what His Majesty Li Er said, Su Chen's eyes immediately lit up!
This is a good way, which can not only allow the people in the world to live a good life, but also don't worry about Li Er coming to find him.
Sure enough, this old Li must have a good background, and his connections are so strong, so there is no problem in leaving this matter to him.
At this moment, Su Chen took a serious look at this wealthy businessman from Jiannan Road.
"Okay! Then let's leave this matter to you, Lao Li!"
Su Chen didn't care about the refining method of table salt, so he readily agreed.
"The way to do this is to treat it as if I handed it over to the country for free."
"Li Er is so poor, so I don't want to give him anything back."
What?
You say I'm poor?!
When His Majesty Li Er heard that Su Chen disliked him for being poor, he was so depressed that he didn't want to talk!
Queen Changsun, who was sitting beside her, covered her face with her hands and kept laughing.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
I will endure!
After taking several deep breaths, His Majesty Li Er finally resisted the urge to beat Su Chen to death.
"Okay! Then I will thank you Su Xiaoyou for your gift on behalf of everyone in the world!"
"Then let's go, I'll take you to see my salt workshop!"
Su Chen didn't delay and immediately took His Majesty Li Er and others to his salt workshop.
"Well, I'd better not go with you. Si'er is sleeping soundly now, so I can just stay with her." Queen Changsun said.
"good!"
Li Er nodded, then called Wei Zheng who was still in a daze, and they walked out of the house.
"hiss!"
"Why is it so cold!"
They were staying in the room just now, and because there was heating, His Majesty Li Er and Wei Zheng didn't feel anything wrong yet.
But now that it came out, it almost turned into a popsicle, and their teeth were chattering with the cold!
"I said, what kind of heater do you have? Can you get me a set? I'll pay for it!" His Majesty Li Er said with great wealth.
"It's useless. Even if I give you everything, you won't be able to use it. Do you have a hot spring at home?"
"No, but is there no other way?"
"Yes! Just build a pot like a lake and boil water without stopping!"
Hearing what Su Chen said, His Majesty Li Er said angrily on the spot: "Did a human say what you said?"
"Hurry up and show us how you make salt!"
Su Chen nodded and walked side by side towards Zhuangzi with Li Er.
Your Majesty, what happened to him?
Wei Zheng protected himself and walked behind the two of them, his eyes full of confusion.
Why is His Majesty so friendly to this young man? Even if it is to hide his identity, it is not like that!
If someone who didn't know saw it, they would probably think that His Majesty was just an ordinary farmer in Wannian County!
Who is this Su Chen? Did he pop out of a stone?
In this way, Wei Zheng and the two of them came to the Sujiazhuang Salt Factory with doubts all the way.
Except for the wooden sign marked on the door, there really was nothing coming. The door was half open, and there was no confidentiality measure at all!
It seemed that everything was true as Su Chen said, and he had no reservations about refining salt.
Su Chen led the two of them into the workshop, and then said: "Old Li, my salt-making process is very simple. You should be able to learn it after watching it."
"Just grind the red salt ore into powder, add water to boil, and filter it through fine cloth several times."
"Finally, heat the brine, keep it high, stir it constantly, and wait until the water disappears and the salt crystals are left."
Su Chen carefully explained to them the process of making salt.
His Majesty Li Er and Wei Zheng also started studying very seriously, and soon learned Su Chen's salt-making principles.
Sure enough, this method of making refined salt is not difficult and can be promoted by the whole people!
Li Er became excited instantly!
You know, what Datang lacks most is red salt mines!
Now that we have obtained Su Chen's salt refining method, the day when every household in the Tang Dynasty can eat salt is really not far away!
After the excitement, His Majesty Li Er also noticed a room behind the salt making workshop.
I saw villagers constantly transporting something inside. His Majesty Li Er turned into a curious baby again and asked as he walked: "Where is that place? Is it also a place for refining salt?"
"Oh? There, where is... Hey, Lao Li, don't go there!"
Su Chen didn't pay attention to Li Er for a moment. He turned around and saw Li Er walking towards the room. He quickly spoke to stop him, but it was too late. His Majesty Li Er had already reached the door!
"this……!!!"
When Li Er saw the scene in front of him, he was completely frightened, as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes widened and his face was full of shock!
"This...are these all yours?" Li Er pointed at the things in the room with his trembling right hand and asked dryly, as if his eyes were about to fall out!
"Your Majesty...Master, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Wei Zhengjian walked over, wanting to see what could actually make His Majesty the Emperor lose his temper like this.
And when he saw what was in the house, he instantly became as out of control as His Majesty Li Er, and he was completely frightened!
"I told you not to go there, but you didn't listen!"
Su Chen helplessly held his forehead and sighed in his heart, it's over, I can't hide it now!
