Li Si remained calm and continued to ask, "Then I wonder if the Third Princess has any magical powers that can prove it."

Su Jinyue, who already understood what had happened, stood solemnly for a long time, and said in a detached tone, "There is no immortal method."

The whole hall was in an uproar.

Someone exclaimed: "I said, these immortal disciples are all fake, how can there be immortals?"

"That's right, the Third Princess has admitted that there is no magic, this is a lie."

"But why did Master Fusu say that just now? Doesn't he hate those alchemists the most?"

"I wonder if Master Fusu was deceived by the alchemist, ah!"

"I'm really worried that Your Majesty will be deceived. You must not be deceived!"

In the court, civil and military officials gathered together, discussing and whispering.

Some people even frowned and were filled with worry, secretly speculating that this might be a exploratory move by Ying Zheng to recruit more alchemists.

Just as the discussion among the ministers was getting more intense, Feng Jie stepped out of the ranks and shouted like thunder: "Silence!"

As one of the Three Dukes, Feng Jie was the Grand Censor, in charge of supervising all officials and had great power.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent, lowered their heads and returned to their respective battle positions solemnly.

Feng Jie turned to face Su Jinyue, his tone serious: "The Third Princess, could it be that you are not granted divine power, nor are you a disciple of a deity?"

Su Jinyue lowered her head slightly, her expression indifferent, "There is no God in the world, man can conquer nature."

The whispers of discussion began to rise again, but without the previous noise, it became more restrained and cautious.

Su Jinyue opened her red lips slightly: "But..."

Feng Jie immediately followed and continued to ask, "But what?"

Su Jinyue maintained her masterful demeanor and continued, "However, I did have some inspiration from the dream and learned some skills."

Chunyu Yue, as the Minister of the Imperial Court of Qin, was naturally qualified to participate in court meetings.

He was still standing aside, secretly angry that his apprentice, Prince Fusu, had not informed him in advance about the matter of the third princess.

Hearing this, he could no longer hold back and angrily scolded, "Skills? Could it be those unorthodox methods, strange and lewd techniques? Are they those tables, chairs and benches?!"

Su Jinyue glanced at Chunyu Yue and chose to ignore him.

Then, she turned to look at Ying Zheng, who was sitting above her, and said respectfully, "Father, I had a dream that revealed a method to turn water into salt."

"Water can turn into salt? Is this true?" Right Prime Minister Wang Wan couldn't help but ask.

Chunyu Yue felt humiliated when Su Jinyue ignored him and shouted at her.

"Nonsense! Salt is essential to the lives of ordinary people. It has always been produced from sea salt, pond salt, well salt, and cliff salt. Is what the Third Princess said about turning water into salt the same as boiling salt by burning firewood?"

Who is Su Jinyue?

The gossip god of dormitory 607, the bargaining expert, the undefeated figure in the college, can she pay attention to your barking?

Cut~

Seeing that Su Jinyue still ignored him, Chunyu Yue was so angry that he was fuming. His face turned red and his hand, which was pointing at Su Jinyue, was shaking constantly.

Su Jinyue continued to ignore him and continued to salute Ying Zheng.

"The method of turning water into salt is to dry salt in ditches and beaches, rather than scraping the soil and pouring brine. The brine is then burned with firewood to boil the salt. This method does not require firewood, saving time and labor."

According to historical development, the sea salt drying method did not appear until the Northern Song Dynasty, and the effect was not ideal.

It was not until the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty that the technology gradually improved and salt farmers changed from frying to drying, ending the history of frying salt.

Therefore, Su Jinyue was fully confident that the method of drying salt in ditches and beaches that she proposed at this time would shock everyone.

Qin Shi Huang looked around, then looked at Su Jinyue and said in a deep voice, "My son, tell me in detail."

"Yes, the method of drying salt in the gully and beach is different from frying salt. It consumes a lot of firewood and is labor-intensive."

Su Jinyue turned to face Chunyu Yue and talked freely.

"All you need to do is find a sunny, barren coastal beach, build a square salt pan with a certain number of pools, dig the pools lower from top to bottom, and install gates to let water flow downwards."

"A salt mound was built under the bottom pool, and two or three salt ditches were dug around it to collect tidal water. A sluice gate was opened on the seaward side, with a sluice gate for opening and closing. Another tidal channel was dug outside, leading directly to the sea to guide the tide into the channel."

After coughing and looking at Chunyu Yue with contempt, Su Jinyue turned to face her good father Ying Zheng and continued preaching.

"The process involves preparing the beach, collecting the tide, making brine, and measuring the brine. The sun-dried beach sand is then poured into seawater and filtered to create high-salinity brine. The brine is then stored in a pool and exposed to the sun until it crystallizes into salt."

Otherwise, it is said that the Qin Dynasty is the king of scrolls from top to bottom.

The ministers who were noisy before, after hearing the third princess's statement, their brains started working at high speed, and they kept thinking about the feasibility of the method of drying salt in ditches and beaches.

Li Si was worthy of being the king of kings. He reacted quickly and bowed deeply to Qin Shi Huang with an excited look on his face.

"This method is feasible! God bless the Great Qin, and we have discovered this method of drying salt in ditches and beaches. It is a joy for the Great Qin, and for the people of Guizhou. It can solve the salt shortage for the people of Guizhou all over the world!"

"God bless the Great Qin, the people of Qian are overjoyed, the Great Qin is overjoyed!"

All the ministers saluted Ying Zheng, their leader, and shouted in unison.

"Hahaha, good, good! Wang Wan, listen to my orders. The Minister of Works, listen to my orders. Immediately arrange for craftsmen to go to Langya County to test the method of drying salt in ditches and beaches. Report on the progress every three days."

Ying Zheng was overjoyed and gave the order directly.

Wang Wan and the Minister of Works stepped out and bowed to receive the order. "Yes, sir."

During the following court meeting, Su Jinyue maintained the attitude of a master for three hours.

Finally, the court meeting ended.

Su Jinyue dragged her legs, which were unable to bend due to standing for a long time, out of the hall and took a deep breath.

Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Minister of Works and Wang Wan walked up to Su Jinyue and bowed.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Third Princess, for explaining to me in detail the specific operations of drying salt on the ditch beach. I am deeply grateful."

"No, don't be so grateful. Let's go to my palace and sit down and talk."

Four people slowly moved to Yuehua Palace, yes, four.

Su Jinyue turned her head and looked at Fusu behind her. She tilted her head slightly to the side and said, "Understand?"

Fusu didn't want to understand, so he lowered his head in thought, pretending not to see Su Jinyue's action of chasing people away.

Su Jinyue felt very pleased. Look, this is the charm of our time-traveling girl. Who else but me can turn Fusu into a shameless person in just one month?

After the four of them sat down, Su Jinyue leaned on the newly built bench and relaxed her legs.

"We still need to replace the office facilities as soon as possible, big brother. Thank you for your time. I'm counting on you to free my legs."

Fusu nodded in agreement, still looking down in thought.

The sunlight outside the house slanted down on the boy's face. His tall nose was stained flesh-pink by the sunlight, dreamy and blurry, making the frowning and thoughtful boy look even more melancholy and sad.

The untimely inquiry from the Minister of Works broke the momentary tranquility.
