Chao Cuo didn¡¯t say a word this time. Looking at Liu Deng¡¯s calm and composed expression, and then looking at Zhang Tu¡¯s calm and composed expression next to him, Chao Cuo was even more sure that the monarch and his minister must be hiding something fishy.
"Who else has the same idea as him?"
Liu Deng drank up the wine in the glass in one gulp. To be honest, this wine was not much better than the beer of later generations. The wine was a bit turbid and did not taste like much alcohol. It was probably around 20 degrees.
"Your Majesty, this is what I think. I represent the country. Now we are at a critical moment of life and death. I really can't drink it. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of all the people in the country who can get this banquet, there are only about thirty people.
Seeing how united they were now, Liu Deng felt a little ashamed. They treated him so heartily, but he ended up guarding them as much as he guarded against thieves.
This did make him feel a little embarrassed. On the contrary, Zhang Tu was very indifferent. This old guy seemed to have known such a result for a long time, so he just stayed silent and watched Liu Deng's jokes.
"I see that you two have no intention of eating now. Now that the matter has been settled, I will let you open your eyes today. I have something in my hand. I will keep it for you. After you look at it, you two will be happy!"
"Anyway, all the coarse salt in hand has been sold, and things have come to a head. At this time, even if the news is revealed, Liu Xian's grandson will have no way to save himself.
¡°Come here, bring me the things!¡±
Seeing the astonished expressions of all the civil and military officials in the court, Liu Deng waved his hand domineeringly, and Du Ziteng walked in directly with two guards and a sack.
"I wonder what this is?"
Chen Qi asked with a frown.
As the internal history of the country, among all the people, except for Zhang Tu, he has the highest status.
"Please, Master Neishi, open it and take a look for yourself!"
Liu Deng said, dropped a small dagger for cutting meat from the table, and said to Chen Qi with a smile.
"No!"
Chen Qi looked around, and everyone looked confused. He could only step forward and pick up the dagger, ready to see what was inside.
I walked to the sack and touched it. There seemed to be something like sand inside. What could it be?
Is it possible that it could still be alluvial gold?
But even if it is alluvial gold, for those greedy merchants, no matter how much money they have now, they will be extorted by them.
Chen Qi, feeling sad in his heart, grabbed the dagger angrily and slashed it directly on the sack.
"Chi¡ª¡ªla"
After a crisp sound, all the white stuff in the sack flowed out. Chen Qi was stunned for a moment.
"This is?"
Everyone stood up immediately, only Liu Deng and Zhang Tu were sitting there peacefully.
Zhang Tu even raised his glass and gestured towards Liu Deng before drinking it down in one gulp.
"Gu-dong"
There is not a grain of salt in the official warehouse. Almost everyone's actions have gone through Chen Qi's hands. He is extremely convinced of this.
Chen Qi swallowed hard, walked forward tremblingly, grabbed a handful of white particles with his trembling right hand, put it in front of his eyes and watched carefully for a moment, and stretched out his hand in the strange eyes of everyone. Licking it with my tongue!
"It's salt! The finest green salt has no bitter taste at all. Is this the salt eaten in the palace?"
Chen Qi had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but he immediately gave up the crazy idea.
This thing is really valuable, so how can it be affordable for ordinary small farmers?
"This is indeed what I eat in the palace, but that's not what I want to say. What I want to say is that starting from tomorrow, all the official warehouses in my country will start selling salt, and only this kind. One hundred and fifty cents per catty!"
Liu Deng said with a faint smile.
"One, one hundred and fifty articles?"
Before Liu Deng finished speaking, Chen Qi was already dumbfounded.
How is this possible?
"This is the best green salt. Even if King Wu sells it himself, it still costs 800 coins per pound. Even if the king makes some money this time,?I can¡¯t afford such a huge subsidy!
"Your Majesty, I wonder how much of this thing you have in your hand? Do you know how many people in our country have in total? Even if we sell according to household registration, the amount needed every year can be around hundreds of thousands of stones. This is no joke!"
Chen Qi said tremblingly.
"Well, I really don't have much of this thing in my hands right now. It's probably only about 100,000 stones. But according to the current production, it can basically produce 3,000 stones per day. Is that right, Master Taifu?"
Liu Deng said that this was a bit uncertain and looked at Zhang Tu and asked.
Zhang Tu knows the things over there best. He handled the whole process from scratch. When it comes to this, he has the most say.
"Three thousand stone per day, this is the current production, in ten days, it should be able to increase to five thousand stone per day!"
Zhang Tu is such a talented person that he will never stop dying without making any surprises.
Chen Qi felt like he was going crazy. This fucking world is so crazy. Does this old guy know what he is talking about?
That¡¯s salt!
And it is the best green salt. This stuff is not the sand by the river. As long as you have someone, you can install it anytime and anywhere.
Making salt is a complicated process. It takes an experienced salt worker at least seven or eight years to master the timing of adding salt.
Even if everyone in Dai country now makes salt, there are not that many experienced salt workers to help them operate it.
Five thousand stones a day?
Even if King Wu is now the richest man in the world, he would not have the courage to reveal this output.
The entire Wu State has only been able to produce about 1,000 shi per day so far. This old guy Zhang Tu is deceiving the people and the king with his monstrous words.
"I, the internal envoy Chen Qi, impeached Grand Master Zhang Tu for deceiving the emperor and disregarding the life and death of the soldiers and civilians of the country. Please do not listen to his nonsense. How can there be such an exaggerated output in this world!"
While the courtiers were talking about it, Chen Qi gritted his teeth and knelt directly on the ground.
"I said, Mr. Chen, what are you doing? My old man usually offends you? I asked you to arrange me like this!"
Zhang Tu brought himself a glass of wine nonchalantly, and while drinking, he admired Chen Qi's serious eyes.
"Master Tutor, because I have no grievances in the past and no enmity in the recent past, I, Chen Qi, am impeaching you today entirely out of public motives. If you have any selfish motives, I will be struck by thunder and lightning!"
After Chen Qi finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily to Liu Deng on the ground.
"Master Taifu, this is your own trouble, you can take care of it yourself!"
Liu Deng was very irresponsible and kicked the ball back to Zhang Tu. Zhang Tu couldn't help but roll his eyes. This little bastard was going too far.
