Dominate the ancient academy

"Uncle, isn't this too hasty? Junior Brother Ye is only ten years old!" Yun Qinghan said in surprise. Ordinary people definitely can't afford this salt. Those who can afford it are all wealthy families, like old foxes. Selling salt may offend people. Ye Xiao is still young?

If you offend someone before entering the court, you will easily be tripped up by others in the future.

"So I said that you two are responsible for this matter. If you satisfy me, I will reward you both handsomely!"

The emperor was in a good mood. In his opinion, Ye Xiao was definitely a talent that could be used. The horseshoe he made before was a great achievement, and now he had salt, which might expand his small treasury. The matter of expanding the treasury was not something that could be told to outsiders, but it did not stop him from being happy.

Two children are just right, and given their poor status, no one dares to make trouble. Since Ye Xiao can come up with this idea, he must be a smart kid. He feels that the two of them can still make Kyoto lively.

"Just go ahead and do it. I'll be backing you up."

It's time for Kyoto to do some activities now. They are just two children. If they do well, he will reward them. If they don't, it's just a game between children. Who can care?

"I will give you half a month. During this half month, I will try my best to make as much fine salt as possible. How much you can sell after half a month depends on your ability."

Emperor Jingming said happily that when the craze for selling salt has passed, fine salt will be able to enter the kitchens of ordinary people.

Hearing that he had the emperor's support, Yun Qinghan felt relieved. It didn't matter if those people were offended. With the emperor's support in the court, everything would be convenient. It didn't matter what those old ministers said. After all, Emperor Jingming was not a kind emperor, and his hands were stained with blood when he was young.

If you can be favored by the emperor, it is not a dream to rise to a high position in the future.

The eldest prince who was waiting outside the palace was also delighted when he saw Yun Qinghan, who finally came out.

He also wanted to win over Yun Qinghan at the beginning. The queen had no legitimate son, so he was the eldest son of his father. The eldest son was the heir, and if there was no legitimate son, wouldn't it be natural for him, the eldest son, to inherit the family business? Moreover, there were not many of his younger brothers that he could look up to. Compared with them, it would be better for him to sit in this position.

Not only is his cousin favored by his father, but his aunt and uncle also have a large number of troops under their control. If his cousin stands on his side, he will have both favor and troops. What a great help!

As a result, he tried to win over his cousin several times, but his cousin remained unmoved and seemed not to understand. As the great Prince of Daning, he did not want to try to please a fool. He had not been able to win over his younger brothers anyway, so it was all the same. The best situation would be for him to show that he would not surrender to his other brothers.

And because their father dotes on their cousin, they brothers can only greet him with a smile.

This time it was all because of the horseshoe incident. Apart from anything else, he loved horses and was particularly fond of the invention of horseshoes. For the sake of horseshoes, he was willing to come over and try to please his cousin to see if there were any other good things. If there were, he could give them to his beloved horse in advance.

As for what his mother said about asking around and then making contributions, he was unwilling to steal the credit from others. Besides, his father knew how to distribute the work. If he had made a fool of himself like his third brother did before and taken the credit, he would have been reprimanded by his father. That was why he was not in a hurry! He would be easily scolded if he was not careful.

Seeing the eldest prince, Yun Qinghan hurriedly bowed.

The eldest prince tried to stop him immediately, and when the emperor saw this, he became displeased with him again.

"Cousin, we are a family and there is no need for such formalities. I just want to ask if you have brought anything good this time. I tried the horseshoes before and they worked very well. Do you have anything good this time when you enter the palace?"

Yun Qinghan had no ill will towards this big cousin who had strong limbs and a simple mind: "No, this time it's for food."

Anyway, salt is for food, so he wasn't lying.

"Food! I thought it was about horses again!" There was obvious disappointment in his voice. With his status, he had eaten all kinds of delicious things and was really not interested in these.

"If I have anything else about horses in the future, I will tell my cousin."

"Well, okay, then cousin, would you like to come to my house for a visit?" Today's cousin didn't seem very cold, perhaps because he discovered his strengths. He could try to win him over. After all, his cousin was a really tempting help.

Yun Qinghan immediately turned cold and said, "Cousin, I still have to go back to the academy, so I'll leave first."

Not disliking the eldest cousin is one thing, and being on good terms with him is another. The eldest cousin is simple-minded, but that doesn't mean the Defei behind him is also simple-minded. There must be a proper distance. As soon as Yun Qinghan finished speaking, he strode out of the palace.

The eldest prince: It’s still the same, not changed at all.

When Huo Feng hurried back, he happened to meet his master who had just left Kyoto.

Huo Feng: I won’t say anything more, let’s go home.

Yun Qinghan thought about Ye Xiao who might be busy again, so before returning to the academy, Yun Qinghan went to the restaurant to pack up some dishes that Ye Xiao liked.

After class, Shu Xiaoxiao missed today's study again. She came to the back mountain and saw the peppers densely packed on the branches. She was so excited that she wanted to scream. She finally saw the peppers again. Her saliva was about to have its own ideas. She couldn't control herself.

The peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers here are all for seed keeping. Shu Xiaoxiao treats them very carefully and comes to pour some water for ginseng bathing every now and then.

That guy now likes to soak in plain water again and starts to dislike the fishy smell of fish soup.

Shu Xiaoxiao was naturally happy about this. Clean water was much easier to handle and could be poured anywhere. It would also promote the growth of plants. It was not like fish soup or something like that, which was particularly difficult to handle. If it was poured out, it would be difficult to explain if someone found out. If you drank it, it would be too fishy when it was cold, and it would seem strange if you tried to remove heat.

Now there is almost a big vat of fish soup in Shenbao's space, but less water because she uses it to water the vegetables. These vegetables are worthy of the ginseng water, and each one is lush and full of fruits.

Shu Xiaoxiao has now saved more than 30 cucumbers and more than 10 tomatoes. She took out the seeds, soaked them in ginseng water, and dried them. Shenbao said that these seeds will definitely survive next year, which made her feel more at ease.

Only the peppers were left. Shu Xiaoxiao was reluctant to eat any of them. She just waited for the peppers to turn red, picked them and took out the seeds. At that time, she enjoyed a good spicy meal.

With the careful care of Huo Feng and others, wheat and sweet potatoes are also growing vigorously. The sweet potato leaves will be ready to eat in two days. By then, with more than ten acres of sweet potato leaves, the whole academy will definitely be able to have a sweet potato leaves feast.

After checking, Shu Xiaoxiao picked the cucumbers that had turned yellow and the tomatoes that had cracked and went back to deal with them.

Although Senior Brother Yun left, he left two people behind for her to use. However, Shu Xiaoxiao only used them to fetch water. She did it herself when soaking the cucumber and tomato seeds in water. This also made it convenient for Shenbao to take a bath in the basin and increase the vitality of these seeds.
