At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"Ah."

The empress was somewhat disdainful when she heard this, although it was undeniable that Xia Yun was somewhat smart.

But we can’t cover everything, right?

The best salt in the world.

Dai County is located in the border area, and at most there are some salt mines and mountains.

It is simply a foolish dream to want to make the best refined salt in the world.

"Do not believe?"

Xia Yun didn't explain much.

This kind of unsophisticated rich businessman from other places has seen a lot and knows a lot.

Only then did he cry and beg his parents to sell it to them.

...

soon.

Several people got off the car and walked into the Daixian Salt Shop.

"grown ups."

The shop owner was very flattering and hurried over when he saw Xia Yun.

Afraid of any neglect.

"Take out the snowflake salt you have and show it to these two girls."

Xia Yun clapped his hands.

The shopkeeper hurried back to the back hall and came out again after a while.

He was holding a wooden tray in his hand.

"this."

The empress glanced upwards and suddenly felt a shock all over her body.

more.

Still can't believe it.

I saw.

On the wooden tray is a handful of snow-white crystals, each one clearly visible.

Like freshly fallen snow.

“This is refined salt.”

The young female official standing beside her couldn't hold back her excitement either, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

I just told this dog official that the salt is the best in the world.

Some sniffed.

I didn't expect to be slapped in the face at this moment, and sent to the palace.

Imperial salt from Zigong.

None of the salt looks as high-end as this one, right?

"So salty."

Subconsciously, I used my fingers to take a little bit of it and stuck out my tongue to lick it.

Salty taste.

She couldn't help but shudder, and her expression was extremely complicated.

There is still a hint of redness.

This scene.

Xia Yun couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Fortunately it happened in public, otherwise the little girl would be in danger.

"Your Majesty, this is real salt. I have never eaten salt so pure without any impurities."

The young female official savored it for a moment before looking at the Queen of Daliang with excitement.

Even.

Even the finest royal salt does not have such a bright color.

It also has a slightly bitter taste.

Xia Yun this.

Just pure salty taste.

"Ah."

The Queen of Daliang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and subconsciously tried it.

The action left Xia Yun speechless.

Just eat some salt.

Do you have to be so charming and enchanting?

No.

He subconsciously hugged Huang Ling'er beside him in his arms.

The big hands twisted it a few times wantonly.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Dog officer."

The young female official almost exploded when she saw this scene.

I really want to pry open Xia Yun’s head.

Look at what's in there, and see what's going on every day.

brazen.

I have never seen such a despicable and lustful person.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this snowflake salt per tael? I'll give you 10 jin first."

The Queen of Daliang was very satisfied with the refined salt and was willing to buy some.

Let the imperial kitchen use it for cooking.

She said, why the food and wine in Zuixianlou taste better than those in the imperial palace's kitchen, it turns out that it is the refined salt that makes the taste of the food more pure.

Although she doesn't have much of an appetite, she would occasionally improve herself.

As an emperor.

Empress.

It's also very reasonable, isn't it?

"One thousand taels for one tael."

"What."

Just the next moment.

The shopkeeper's words came out of his mouth, making the expression of the Queen of Daliang stiffen.

With a bit of disbelief?

"What are you talking about? You dare to ask for a thousand taels of salt, just a small amount of salt."

At a speed visible to the naked eye.

The empress's face darkened, and her eyes became colder and more stern.

One thousand taels.

Does this take her for a fool?

"this."

The shopkeeper had never seen such a scene before and was instantly trembling with fear.

I can't even speak.

The oppression brought to him by the empress was not something an ordinary person could endure.

Even some extremely corrupt officials would tremble in fear when facing the empress.

Dare not speak.

"The price is just like that. Why do you two girls have to embarrass them?"

next moment.

Xia Yun spoke lightly, and the shopkeeper felt as if he had been pardoned instantly.

Hurry.

He stepped aside with trembling legs.

"One thousand taels of silver and one tael of refined salt, and you still say it's not expensive. Do you know that these are enough for a family of three to live for a long time, you profiteer."

The young female official couldn't bear it anymore.

He was indignant: "The imperial salt of Daliang only sells for ten taels of silver per pound."

"How dare you sell it so expensively?"

"hehe."

Xia Yun just smiled and said nothing.

This scene.

The young female official was almost furious and wanted to argue with Xia Yun.

"okay."

But he was stopped by the empress.

He stepped aside obediently and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Give me this salt. Give me half a pound."

Although the empress was furious, she did not show it on her face.

just.

He was thinking about how to dig out the secret of salt making from Xia Yun.

I've eaten dishes cooked with this kind of refined salt.

The other bitter taste would be very difficult to swallow.

This is for her.

It's totally unbearable. I already have symptoms of anorexia.

"Humph."

The young female official took out the silver bills from her purse very reluctantly.

Hand it over to the smiling salt shop owner.

Facial expression.

It felt like a piece of my heart was cut out and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Almost crying.

"damn thing."

Even the empress couldn't help but curse inwardly, as she had always been frugal and couldn't even bear to eat meat every day.

Laidai County.

It was only three or two days.

It actually flowed like water, spending nearly ten thousand taels of silver.

Think of this.

The murderous intent in the eyes of the Queen of Daliang became more and more boiling as she looked at Xia Yun.

damn thing.

Died again in her eyes.

"Boss, your salt is so expensive, you must be making a fortune."

The young female official was still a little reluctant and held on to a corner of the silver note, unwilling to let it go.

His eyes were full of envy.

Just one or two ounces of snowflake salt can be sold for one thousand ounces of silver.

What is an official?

corruption.

You can't make money that fast.

"Ah."

Hear the words.

The empress also looked over and saw that she had earned five thousand taels in just a short period of time.

It is indeed faster than corruption and bribery.

"Haha, these are all the property of adults. Most of them belong to adults. We are just taking a bite of the soup and we have to share the profits."

The shopkeeper carefully snatched back the banknote and couldn't help but explain.

Done.

He also glanced at Xia Yun carefully.

I felt a little relieved when I noticed that Xia Yun was not angry.

Tell it to the two of them.

"What? Eighty percent of it belongs to the dog officials?"

The young female official couldn't help but cover her mouth and scream, and the shopkeeper was frightened and turned pale.

Kneel directly on the ground.

"Hey."

Xia Yun raised his eyebrows. It was the first time someone called him a dog official.

"okay."

The empress gave the young female official a cold look before turning her gaze to Xia Yun.

My mind is full of thoughts.

Unexpectedly, sending Xia Yun to the border would also release a ferocious beast.

This will make money.

No wonder so many tall buildings can be built.

"Girls, don't worry about losing money. Take the salt back to Jiangnan, or ship it to Yujing. Even if you sell it at double the price, it will still be in short supply."

Xia Yun thought the two were afraid of losing money, so he quickly added.
