Along the way, everyone became familiar with each other, and Crown Prince Zhongyong took advantage of his two years of age and called himself his brother.
Xie Boting stopped praising Su Tang and only said, "I am lucky to marry her."
At this point, Prince Zhongyong had to admit that Su Tang was able to take Xie Boting to avoid disaster even if he fainted in the carriage. He was worthy of being a person with Fuxi bones. God was blessing him. This was something he could not envy. No wonder Prince Jingnan would
I don’t want to marry Miss Yun Er anymore.
If a wife is found like this, what else can a husband ask for?
He was sighing in his heart, and Chen Qing came over quickly. As a secret guard, Chen Qing could control his emotions, but at this moment, he was extremely excited, "Master, the princess has turned coarse salt into snow salt."
!”
Xie Boting was stunned when he heard this, and Prince Zhongyong blurted out, "How is this possible?!"
The price of snow salt is five times that of coarse salt, and sometimes even up to ten times. How can coarse salt turn into snow salt?
Chen Qing only looked at Xie Boting. He had never lied to me. Furthermore, if I didn't believe him, why didn't he still believe in the imperial concubine?
Xie Boting raised his feet and walked to the kitchen. It was a pity that the kitchen of Prince Jingnan's Mansion had never been entered by his own prince. This simple kitchen in a small courtyard could actually welcome the prince's arrival.
Xie Boting strode in and saw the snow-white salt in the pot. He looked at Su Tang and said in disbelief, "Did you really turn coarse salt into snow salt?"
Are you so surprised?
Isn't this a simple matter?
Before Su Tang nodded, Xie Boting said to Chen Qing, "Go and buy a bucket of coarse salt. I want to see it with my own eyes."
Chen Qing took the order and left.
Su Tang dissuaded Xie Boting and said, "What's so good about this? It's raining heavily outside."
What's so cool about this?
Prince Zhongyong was shocked by Su Tang's flirtatious tone. He didn't know how to describe the importance of this matter. Let's put it this way, not to mention it was raining outside right now, even if it was raining, it would be hail and ice.
go.
Chen Qing took two secret guards, drove the carriage to the town, and bought two large barrels of coarse salt as quickly as possible.
This time, Su Tang didn't do anything and just let Pinellia ternata do it, because there was really no technical content in it. Pinellia ternata did as Su Tang did before, melt the coarse salt, filter it, and then put it in a pot to cook.
From beginning to end, Xie Boting and Prince Zhongyong were there. They saw with their own eyes how coarse salt turned into snow salt.
After Xie Boting tasted the salt, he looked at Prince Zhongyong and asked, "When is the salt trial this year?"
"This month is nineteen."
Coincidentally, the person in charge of discussing this matter this year is his father, Zhongyong Hou, so Prince Zhongyong Hou knows very well.
If it weren't for looking for Yun Yi, he would be on his way to the border with his father at this moment.
Prince Zhongyong Hou replied, then opened his eyes wide, "Don't you mean...?"
"This matter is more important than finding Yun Yi," Xie Boting's voice was loud and clear.
Prince Zhongyong Hou said quickly, "I will set off for the border right away."
Prince Zhongyong turned around and left.
When he left the kitchen, Su Tang was still confused, "What kind of salt judge?"
Xie Boting felt powerless when he asked this question. It was not the first time that he knew that Su Tang was a very contradictory person. She knew a lot but lacked common sense. She knew what everyone didn't know, and she didn't know what everyone knew.
There were salt fields and salt mines in the Ning Dynasty, but most of them were coarse salt, and the snow salt was not enough to eat. The court had to buy salt from Northern Xinjiang and other places every year, not to mention the huge cost. Northern Xinjiang and other places refused to sell it, one salt a year.
price.
Su Tang's method of turning coarse salt into snow salt will save the court hundreds of thousands of taels of silver now, not to mention how much money he will earn for the court in the future.
Su Tang was stunned when he heard this, "Is it such an exaggeration?"
After saying that, seeing Xie Boting looking at her without blinking, Su Tang muttered, "No one has told me about this. I want to know that I will definitely not let the court spend this unjust money." This chapter has been completed!
