In the book, the princess of the fallen country saved the country by eating melons

Although Mo Sheng had never touched water in his previous life, salt was still used occasionally when the company went out for barbecues and team-building activities.

For fun, she would also participate in the grilling process, and she used quite a lot of salt.

Naturally, I recognized what this thing was at once.

Mo Jinyi wondered if the imperial kitchen had something as white as snow.

Mo Sheng, who was watching the fun, urged Mo Jinyi without thinking too much.

[Father, if you try it, you will know what it is.]

Mo Jinyi snorted coldly. Why should he taste it?

"Lord Fang, what on earth is this?"

Seeing that Mo Jinyi at the table was getting a little impatient, Fang He didn't dare to keep it a secret any longer.

"Your Majesty, this is salt."

When Fang He said this, everyone in the Qinzheng Hall was shocked, even Mo Jinyi and Desheng couldn't help but breathe rapidly.

This white sand is actually salt.

"That's impossible. Salt doesn't look like this."

Fang He smiled as he looked at the distraught looks on everyone's faces. See, he said that if he took this thing out, the officials in the court would be shocked.

Mr. Wu also said that these people would not.

After all, he was surprised to see that the thing they played with when they were bored could filter the salt into these snow-like particles.

"This is salt. I personally watched that gentleman filter it. He also said that the salt we used to eat was bitter because of its poor quality and too many impurities. Eating too much would be bad for the body."

"This refined salt is refined salt, so it won't have the problems that we had before."

"If you don't believe me, you can try it and see if it is any different from the salt you have now."

After Fang He finished speaking, he motioned for everyone to go up and have a taste.

"Are you sure this salt isn't poisonous?"

An official asked in confusion.

When Fang He heard this question, he almost laughed out loud.

He is offering treasure, not his life.

If there is a problem, would he dare to bring it out openly? He is not tired of living yet.

"Lord Zhao, your words are very rude. If there are any problems, I dare not present them to Your Majesty for review."

"I am just asking, who knows if you have any rebellious intentions."

[Xiao Ba, where is this person from? Why is his heart so dark?]

Mo Sheng looked at the two people arguing with each other below and asked with a frown.

System: [Young master, their two families live very close to each other. Usually, there are conflicts between the two families because of fighting over the passage. Now Fang He is very successful in his career.

Lord Zhao himself has mediocre qualifications. He has been in this position for five years and has not made any progress, so he made a mocking sound in the court.

After listening to Xiao Ba's explanation, Mo Sheng suddenly understood.

[It turns out that it was jealousy that caused the problem. As expected, outstanding talents always attract envy.]

Prince: ………Sheng’er, what you said makes a lot of sense.

He thought about his younger brothers who always liked to fool him. They must be jealous of him, so they always fooled and bullied him.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have no intention of disobeying you. I had the salt checked by Doctor Li before I came here, and it is not poisonous at all."

Doctor Li, who was on duty in the Qinzheng Palace today, was cueed by Fang He: You are great, Fang He.

No wonder she came to him with salt as soon as she entered the temple. It turned out she was waiting for him here.

Doctor Li sighed, then cheered himself up and waited for His Majesty to come find him.

"Doctor Li, is this true?"

Mo Jinyi looked at Doctor Li who was huddled beside a pillar for confirmation.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed no problem with the salt."

Doctor Li went up, said his lines, and then retreated back into the corner.

One should not have too much sense of presence. The court is full of blood and gore, and a small official like him should not become a part of it. It is better to just watch the fun from a distance.

When the other officials saw that the imperial physician said there was no problem, they stepped forward and took a little salt to taste it.

"This salt is so salty, it doesn't have any of the bitter taste it used to have."

"Yes, this salt is very fine, not like the lumpy ones at home, which the cook needs to break up by himself when cooking."

"And the color. The salt we have is gray, not this beautiful white."

After tasting the salt, the officials talked a lot, and Mo Jinyi listened to their speeches.

To sum it up in one sentence: this salt is good and can be mass-produced.

"Lord Fang, how is the salt consumption?"

Salt is also a very important strategic material and the economic foundation of a country.

Beiyun has always been a major salt-producing country. Now two-thirds of the salt produced by other countries comes from Beiyun.

This is also the reason why other countries are eyeing them covetously but cannot act rashly.

It was just that during the previous emperor’s period, the country was weak against external forces and could not stand up.

Whenever necessary, the other countries would send troops to harass the Beiyun border. The late emperor was afraid and asked for peace again and again and signed various unequal treaties with the other countries on the issue of salt.

The national treasury was also emptied.

By the time Mo Jinyi ascended the throne, the rest of the countries were no longer constrained by the Beiyun Salt Power.

One can imagine how much was given away during the reign of the previous emperor.

Mo Jinyi sometimes sighed, wishing that his cheap father had really emptied Beiyun.

But now that we have refined salt, Beiyun will be able to take control of the salt rights of various countries in a short period of time.

Unless the nobles of various countries see these white salts and compare them with their own salts, they will not be tempted.

There was a look in Mo Jinyi's eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

[Father, who is going to fall into your hands again?]

When Mo Sheng saw his smile, he knew that someone was going to be in trouble again.

I just don’t know which unlucky guy it is.

Upon hearing this, the prince quietly raised his head and glanced at Mo Jinyi, and indeed saw the gleam in his eyes.

I had a vague guess in my mind that my father might be thinking about how to use salt to regain the initiative in the world.

"Your Majesty, the man who developed refined salt said that the loss is very small, and it only removes impurities."

Mo Jinyi nodded.

When the officials below heard this, they all agreed that it was feasible.

"If that's the case, this refined salt can be produced in large quantities. The previous salt really affected the taste."

“I think we can use this to regain control of the salt rights of various countries.

Although they also produce salt themselves, the output is scarce and the quality is poor.

But this is refined salt.”

Master Shen calmly put forward his opinion, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him.

He quickly stepped forward and bowed to Mo Jinyi who was sitting at the top of the table.

"Your Majesty, I feel that......"

Mo Jinyi interrupted Master Shen and spoke directly.

"I think it's feasible."

He had just heard what Grand Tutor Shen was discussing below, so there was no need to repeat it.

The fact that someone shared the same idea as him meant that everyone in the court actually had the same idea.

Mo Sheng also heard what Master Shen said just now.

[So this is what Father was thinking]

No wonder he suddenly showed such obvious calculation just now. He would never show this expression when he wanted to plot against someone before.

But it's also good. By controlling other countries, they can develop their national strength faster.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask."

The Minister of War suddenly stood up and said with a serious face.

"allow."

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask whether the autumn hunt will be held this year."
