Si Yuan then took a step forward and reported to King Anli of Wei: "Your Majesty, the current salt is the real salt."
"It does not contain chronic poison."
"The previous salt was poisonous and could cause death if taken for a long time."
Then, he reached out and pointed at the residue that had just been filtered out.
Explain briefly aloud.
"The chronic poisonous ingredients in the salt have been extracted and concentrated into this substance. The original chronic poison content has also been enhanced."
"If you need to verify the authenticity of Xia Guan's words, you can have people take these filters in person."
King Wei Anli nodded slightly.
Putting down the small bowl in his hand, he ordered: "Go and bring ten prisoners over. Divide them into two batches and let them taste the two piles of residues respectively."
"As you command!"
Soon, guards came down to carry out the order.
It didn't take long.
Ten shackled prisoners were brought over and made to kneel on the ground under the supervision of the palace guards.
Then open their mouths.
Group five people into a group and forcefully pour two different filters into each one.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...!"
The prisoners tried to resist, but to no avail.
The things stuffed into the mouth are forced to be swallowed and cannot be vomited out even if they want to.
During this process.
King Anli of Wei, as well as many princes, generals, Si Yuan, servants, guards, etc., all quietly watched what would happen to these ten people.
"The success or failure of my plan depends on how many of these ten people die."
…
…
Only less than a cup of tea has passed.
Among the ten prisoners who tried the food, some began to turn purple, or had shortness of breath, or fell to the ground.
The muscles of the body are twitching uncontrollably.
Some people hugged their abdomen tightly with both hands, and cold sweat broke out on their painful foreheads.
There are even people with weak constitutions who are unwilling to die on the spot.
over time.
The number of prisoners who died of heavy metal poisoning gradually increased, and eventually, all ten of them died.
"Crack...!"
Some ministers were so frightened that the small bowl in their hands fell to the ground.
It fell to pieces.
"Wang Shan, please calm down. I am guilty and should not disturb the king!"
The minister who accidentally broke the small bowl in his hand immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting loudly.
"Get up...!" King Wei Anli looked distracted, staring at the ten prisoners who had just been poisoned to death with his eyes wide open.
A look of fear and horror gradually appeared on his face.
Take this opportunity.
Si Yuan clasped his fists with both hands and saluted King Anli of Wei.
"Your Majesty, this method has proven that salt contains chronic poison."
"It is precisely because of the existence of chronic poisons that when people eat them, those chronic poisons will accumulate in the body."
"The more you eat and the longer you eat, the deeper the poisoning will be."
"This then causes all kinds of strange diseases, causing death and early death."
"If it is purified and purified, there will be no hidden danger of chronic poison accumulation in the body. In this way, one can naturally prolong life and live longer."
I heard these words from Si Yuan, the leader of the 500 soldiers of the Wei Dynasty.
King Wei Anli and the many princes, generals and others present all fell into deep thought, with very ugly expressions on their faces.
But with a hint of fear and surprise.
"There are such terrible consequences...!"
"The general's personal disciple is indeed extraordinary. After this incident, everyone present owes him a life-saving grace."
"I eat salt every day, so now... wouldn't it be that my life is not long?!"
…
Take a moment of quiet contemplation.
King Wei Anli lowered his head slightly, looked at the snow-white finely crushed salt grains in the small ceramic bowl, and suddenly ordered: "Send these white salts to the dining room."
"Let's use this white salt for dinner today."
"I want to have a taste with all my dear friends, what kind of meal can be made without the salt that is a chronic poison."
"As you command!"
Soon, the servants took away the white salt and sent it to the dining room of the Wei Palace.
Do your best to win over people's hearts with kindness and make great contributions at the same time. Only then did the dead puppet King Wei Anli speak out and collect the results of this secret plan.
He stared at Si Yuan with a solemn expression.
"Wei Wu died 500 years ago and came to Si Yuan. He presented two special salt-making methods."
"For the widow, the princes and generals in the court, and even all the people of the Wei Kingdom, it not only saves lives, but also prolongs life."
"The method of making salt will bring blessings to generations to come. It is a great reward!"
"We now ennoble Si Yuan, the leader of the five hundred soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, as the Marquis of Wei An."
"The six areas of Changping, Yongqiu, Shanyang, Chaoge, Xingcheng, and Zhongmou were designated as the fiefdom of the Marquis of Wei An, with a settlement of 70,000 households."
"In addition, I wish to marry Princess Ji Wuyou of Suiyang to the Marquis of Wei An, and choose an auspicious day of the zodiac this month to get married."
Si Yuan, who was standing in the center of the field, heard this.
Immediately kneel down on one knee, perform Wei rituals with both hands, and thank King Wei Anli.
"Chen Siyuan, thank you so much for your gift, Your Majesty!"
at the same moment.
All the Wei ministers present were a little stunned at first when they heard about King Wei Anli's reward, but they quickly came to their senses.
There was almost no hesitation.
One by one, they immediately bowed and saluted King Wei Anli, and responded in unison, saying: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Salt!
It is both the root of survival and the foundation of a country.
Without salt, it means that generals and soldiers have no strength and cannot even pick up weapons, let alone go to war.
Without salt, farmers would not even have the strength to wield a hoe.
If the land cannot be planted, there will be no food, and if there is no food to eat, the country will first become chaotic and then move toward self-destruction.
Without salt, even life would be very short.
The two special methods of purifying salt presented by Si Yuan on the spot show how great his contribution was. Not to mention using salt to save lives and prolong life.
That's why.
This time King Anli of Wei granted Si Yuan a title and a marriage, and no one would stand up to object.
"My plan...is done!" Si Yuan knelt down on one knee, feeling extremely surprised.
Using Wei Yong's identity as a starting point, he achieved his best interests.
this era.
The greatest benefit is not money, land, or beauty...
It's a change in status.
The previous five hundred soldiers of the Wei Dynasty were still regarded as low-level nobles.
But now, he has been granted the title of Marquis of Wei An and married to Princess Suiyang.
Directly let Si Yuan complete the top level of nobles from ordinary minor nobles to royal family members and relatives.
It can be said to be a leap forward in one step.
While he was pretending to be King Wei Anli's dead puppet, no one noticed anything unusual.
Si Yuan decided to expand his profit gains again.
He still knelt down on one knee and saluted, and spoke again to advise King Wei Anli: "Your Majesty, there is a more convenient and sufficient way to obtain coarse salt."
