Soon, the messenger eunuch outside shouted: "Your Majesty has ordered that everyone outside the main hall please go in."
The group of people walked slowly into the hall one after another. Everyone came to the center of the hall and saluted His Majesty one by one.
Then everyone stood aside, and Luo Ningxin's eyes fell on Princess Xuanyu and Bai Yongliang.
"Princess Princess, President Bai, I believe both of you have seen the imperial edict I issued yesterday."
"I brought you two here today just to resolve the matter of cooperation between us. Everything will be done in accordance with the requirements of the imperial edict."
As soon as he said these words, Bai Yongliang's face turned green.
The princess looked solemn and said: "Your Majesty, President Bai did go too far before. This batch of salt was supposed to be delivered six days ago, but President Bai delayed it for a few days for his own selfish desires."
"This is just a trivial matter. Why does Your Majesty want to sever cooperation?"
The civil and military officials at the scene did not know the real situation. They were all confused and waiting for His Majesty's explanation.
Luo Ning said coldly: "Princess, is this a small matter? The contract clearly states that the salt must be delivered to us before the third of every month."
"Now, the salt has obviously arrived in the imperial capital, but President Bai does not deliver it, and instead puts the salt in their private warehouse!"
"I asked Mr. Ye Fan to go and communicate with President Bai, but President Bai actually threatened me."
"Let me carve out Shilipu and give it to him and mark it as his fief, otherwise I will never hand over the salt!"
At this time, Ye Fan stepped forward and said: "It is indeed true. This President Bai is so bold that he ignores His Majesty, the court, and the contract between our Dayan Dynasty and Daqian Dynasty. That's why Your Majesty ordered the termination of the relationship between our two countries."
cooperation between us!”
Of course Xuanyu knew these things. Seeing that His Majesty and the imperial court were so tough and wanted to terminate cooperation, she felt a mess in her heart at this moment.
"Your Majesty, you must think clearly. Without the salt of our Daqian Dynasty, the consequences will be very serious!"
At this time, Luo Longyu next to him spoke.
"Princess, to be honest, we, the Yan Dynasty, can produce salt ourselves, and we will no longer need the salt from your Daqian Dynasty."
"Originally, the cooperation between us could have continued, but you breached the contract first. It is clearly written in the contract. Whoever breaches the contract will be fully responsible!"
"So, pay for it!"
As soon as these words were said, everyone at the scene was extremely shocked. No matter it was the civil and military officials, the princess or Bai Yongliang, they all couldn't figure out where the salt in the Great Yan Dynasty came from?
However, this sentence came from the mouth of the second prince Luo Longyu, so it cannot be false.
At this time Fang Chen spoke.
"I went to Hainan City to negotiate with the Qiankun Merchant before. After the negotiation failed, we found a large amount of salt in the Nanhai area. Of course, these are all the work of the Second Prince!"
Fang Chen had talked with Luo Longyu before and gave all the credit to Luo Longyu.
Because this was a duel between the royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty and the Royal Dynasty of the Great Qian Dynasty, Fang Chen asked Luo Longyu to rush to the front!
Fang Chen continued: "Before I went to Hainan City, the Second Prince gave me a map and some salt-making methods so that we could extract a large amount of salt from seawater. Unexpectedly, we succeeded!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was even more shocked.
Luo Longyu also said: "I saw this method of making salt from some ancient books and gave it to Lord Fang."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Fang acted vigorously and recruited a large number of people to go to the beach to experiment, and it was actually done."
"The water of the sea will never dry up, and our salt is endless, so we don't need to import the salt of the Daqian Dynasty."
At this moment, Bai Yongliang and Xuan Yu understood that the reason why His Majesty rejected their request and dared to confront them was because their only trump card was no longer useful.
They control the salt and can do whatever they want. Now that the Yan Dynasty also controls the salt, they naturally don't need their help!
Bai Yongliang's face turned pale and he shouted: "This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
"How is it possible to extract salt from sea water? Since ancient times, many talented people and strangers have tried to extract salt from sea water, but they all failed in the end. No one can succeed."
Princess Xuanyu couldn't believe it. If all this was true, then the salt business of the Daqian Dynasty would definitely be greatly impacted in the future.
The salt of the Daqian Dynasty was extracted from salt mines and salt wells, and these resources are always limited. Although the output is extremely high, it will be used up one day, but sea water is different and will never be used up. !
Xuanyu's face turned ashen and he said: "Your Majesty, I simply don't believe that edible salt can be extracted from sea water."
"I don't believe it! Even our Daqian Dynasty can't extract it from sea water, how can you possibly do it?"
In fact, Xuanyu already believed it, but she didn't dare to accept it or believe it. As for the civil and military officials, everyone's expressions were extremely wonderful, and many people were very excited in their hearts.
Fang Chen came over and said calmly: "You don't believe it, do you? Then let me show it to you!"
Fang Chen took out the table salt he brought from Hainan. The salt was white and fine. This was very fine fine salt!
Fang Chen explained: "This is the salt we make. The finished product is just like this. It is the highest quality fine salt."
"From now on, whether His Majesty, the civil and military officials of the imperial court, or even our common people, the salt they eat will be the same, this kind of fine salt."
In the past, there were grades of salt. Common people ate some coarse salt and some fine salt, but they couldn't afford it.
Only high-ranking officials and nobles can eat better salt, and the salt from the imperial palace is of the highest quality.
And now the salt produced by Fang Chen is a hundred times stronger than the highest quality salt in the past!
Everyone was shocked when they heard Fang Chen's words. Everyone gathered around and observed carefully. Some even dipped their hands in the salt to taste it.
"Oh my God, is this real? Is there such fine salt in the world?"
"I've never seen such fine salt, I've never seen salt that tastes so good, oh my gosh, it's so shocking."
"I really didn't expect that the Second Prince would have such a secret method of making salt. This is really great. We in the Great Yan Dynasty will never need the salt from the Daqian Dynasty in the future."
"That's right. We no longer need to look at some people's faces or be threatened. It's really great."
"With such good salt, we can also export it to other empires in the future. With endless sea water, there will be endless wealth. It won't be long before our Great Yan Dynasty will become the most powerful country in the world!"
