After the child's mind was read, the tyrant caught the male queen with a black face

Yuanruan: [Then these princes rebelled]?

The system's voice was a bit confused: [It's not because of this reason, and they are not against...right. ]

Yuan Ruan was confused for a moment: [So there is no rebellion? That's good, then what is the specific reason for these two princes to make trouble, and what danger has their collusion caused? ]

System: [The real reason is that one of your brother's future policies is to increase the taxes on the princes by almost two times. When the princes knew about this policy, they had some opinions about your brother. At this time, the prince of Hengshan died, and the princes were furious. They felt that your brother was slowly cutting his flesh with a knife. He was forcing them to rebel step by step.]

emperor:……

Prince:......

It must be said that regardless of their standpoints, the princes’ commotion is justified.

Yuan Ruan touched his chin: [I think they misunderstood me. If I really wanted to deal with them, I wouldn't force them to rebel, but would just find a reason to send troops.]

System: [Yes. In fact, the King of Yan and the King of Jing also thought so. They persuaded the King of Hengshan to calm down. But at this time, the King of Xiping said that if the emperor chose a one-size-fits-all approach like in the past, such as undermining their political power, they would be at ease, at least they would not die. But now the emperor is raising taxes and killing his offspring. This is really unbearable. ]

Yuanruan: […Ah, this…]

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly: King Xiping...huh.

Yuanruan added: [So what kind of trouble did they cause to my brother in the end? ]

System: [There is sea salt in the area controlled by King Hengshan. Nearly one-third of Daxia's salt comes from his territory. King Hengshan is driving up the price of salt, causing Xia to suffer a loss.]

Yuanruan was stunned: [What! Raising the price of salt?! Salt is a necessity for the human body. The damage this will cause to society is not much different from rebellion.]

The prince clenched his fists violently.

The emperor frowned slightly and glanced thoughtfully at the Prince of Hengshan who was lying next to him.

The system electronic flower flashed: [Oh, that's right, I forgot that humans can't eat code replacement. So it still caused a lot of trouble. ]

Yuansoft: [……]

The Crown Prince and the Emperor: ...

Yuan Ruan touched his chubby chin and glanced at the Prince of Hengshan.

Then she whispered to the system: [Such a large area of ​​sea salt is controlled by the King of Hengshan, and Daxia has several princes. It is estimated that each prince holds a piece of the country's most important weapon. No wonder the emperors over the years have been obsessed with reducing the power of the princes. They feel insecure. ]

The emperor looked at Yuanruan with satisfaction and said, Xiaojiu understands me.

The system said hurriedly: [Aruan is fine. Since you started fortune-telling, the melon has turned red. My nephew will not send the Prince of Hengshan away early. If the Prince of Hengshan does not die, there will be no follow-up. It is safe.]

Yuan Ruan's expression did not improve despite the system's comfort.

Because the initiative of this incident still lies with the King of Hengshan. This time, the Crown Prince of Hengshan is safe, but what if something happens to the Crown Prince of Hengshan next time? What if the King of Hengshan is so desperate that he uses sea salt to cause trouble again?

Yuanruan: [Tong'er, is it only the King of Hengshan who can dry sea salt? ]

System: [Yes. Originally, Daxia was considered a landlocked country? But because the previous emperor conquered South Korea in the southwest, Daxia gained a small sea area. That area was granted to the King of Hengshan.]

When the system said this, it suddenly realized Yuanruan’s concerns.

System: [Aruan, don't underestimate your brother! Your brother is a big boss who can't be killed by the heavens. There are salt mines and salt wells in Daxia, but not so many. Your brother has been prepared for this and has stored a lot of salt. Otherwise, if these two princes joined forces, Daxia would not suffer only a small loss.]

Yuan Ruan was stunned when he heard this, and instantly relaxed.

She leaned against the lone wolf with a skilled posture: [It’s stable, it’s stable, we can play it down now. ]

System: [Right, right, right. Ah Ruan, just lie down and enjoy yourself. Da Xia will be protected by your brother and nephew.]

The prince was in a state of confusion: ...

He originally thought that Da Xia still needed the protection of the young imperial teacher, but when he glanced at his father, he found that his father's face was full of self-righteousness.

The prince felt nervous. He knew he had to learn from his father and not rely on luck for everything. Man can conquer nature.

Yuan Ruan suddenly said: [But Tong'er, please help me keep an eye out for any reward tasks for making salt.]

System: [Ah? Aren’t you just lying down and enjoying yourself? ]

Yuanruan also argued: [That's right. I want to enjoy lying down, so I have to get some good things to enjoy. The ancient salt water purification technology is nowhere near as good as the reward you've worked so hard to get. Tong'er, go, go! ]

System: [Go, go, go! Ah Ruan, I’ll go find him right away! ]

There was a faint smile in the emperor's eyes.

The prince felt relieved: Xiaojiu said this because he still cares about them.

Soon, the system reappeared.

System: [Aruan! I just asked, and neither the friends nor the main system have any reward tasks for making salt for the time being. However, I have put the reward for making salt and tooth decay on the system bounty list. You will tell me once there is one.]

Yuanruan responded immediately: [Thank you for your hard work, Tong'er. ]

Yuanruan chatted with the system for a few more sentences before stopping.

Because of sea salt, Yuanruan suddenly became interested in the iconic specialty items of the princes' fiefdoms.

So when the four princes continued to chat, Yuan Ruan directly asked them what the most distinctive specialty of their respective fiefdoms was.

When this topic came up, the scholars were all stunned.

First, the chubby Prince Jing said that their family had no special products, but if they had to say it, the manufacturing of dagger weapons was relatively advanced.

Then, the Prince of Xiping immediately asked in confusion, "That's not right. Aren't your family's most famous products perfume, lip balm, nectar, and other women's favorite powders? There are several Yixiangju and Taotaoju, all from your side."

Prince Jing's pupils trembled: "What?! I haven't seen them in the palace. Aren't those the things you like to buy?"

The petite Prince of Xiping rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean I like it? My sisters like to buy it. It is because of them that I know those shops are all in Prince Jing's fiefdom. Prince Jing has the most flowers of all kinds. The annual Flower God Festival of Daxia is only held in Prince Jing's fiefdom."

Prince Jing's expression became even more bewildered: "What? Isn't the Flower Goddess Festival held in every place?"

The Prince of Xiping was too lazy to speak.

System: [Hahahaha... Prince Jing is too confused. He doesn't know any of this? ]

A strange look also flashed across the emperor and the crown prince's expressions.

At this time, the Prince of Hengshan slowly woke up.

After hearing the conversation between Prince Jing and Prince Xiping, he thought for a while and said that their place was by the sea, and the most distinctive food should be seafood, such as hairy crabs.

Prince Linjiang suddenly wondered, "That's not right. The most outstanding thing about the Hengshan King's fiefdom is not the extremely pure white refined salt."

The Prince of Hengshan was confused: "Ah? White refined salt? But I haven't seen many salt wells."

The Prince of Yan was speechless: "But your family is near the sea, so you can just dry it in the sun, why do you need a salt well? You should also learn more about it. For example, my family is most famous for agricultural products, such as Linjiang fish and hairy crabs."

The prince of Linjiang was shocked: "Wait, Linjiang fish! Shouldn't that be a specialty of my hometown?! The name is the same."

The Prince of Yan was speechless: "This river is so long, your family is just located upstream and got the name in advance. My father developed the area around the river into farmland, raising fish and rice fields together, and both sides are growing very well."

Prince Linjiang was at a loss for a moment: "Can fish and rice fields be raised together? Don't fish eat rice?"

The Prince of Yan rolled his eyes and said, "A few years ago, my father reported this updated farming law to the court for popularization in Daxia. Don't you know about such a big thing?"

Prince Linjiang blinked and began to fan himself furiously.

System: [Hahaha, as expected, there must be a phoenix next to the Crouching Dragon. I am dying of laughter. Five princes, but three can't lift them. Ah Ruan, I think your brother was alert for nothing.]

emperor:……
