I'm in Great Zhou, Forced into the Palace by the Female Emperor

Qin Yuan was the top scholar in the imperial examination, but the female emperor was a昏君 (enlightened monarch in reverse, meaning a foolish ruler). He had no choice but to idle away his days, h...

Chapter 38 Wen Zong, Ming Lou!

As soon as these words were spoken.

There were countless responses.

"Yes, yes, this salt is too white. It doesn't look like real salt at all."

"What's General Li thinking? He's a good general, but he doesn't want to make achievements on the battlefield. Instead, he insists on selling salt. It can't be any real salt."

"Why do you say that?"

"Think about it, the salt in the Great Zhou is monopolized by the Nine Aristocratic Families. Even the Emperor can't sell salt. How can a little-known general like him get salt?"

"He thinks that if he gives people salt water for free, they will buy his salt? How naive! We are not fools!"

"That's right!"

"In my opinion, this little girl is also a fool and unfit to be the emperor!"

"Right, right, right. It's only been a few years and the Great Zhou has been defeated to this point. Let the King of Qin be the emperor!"

"Qin, you big-headed ghost, the throne must be inherited by the King of Yan!"

"What the hell, it has to be the King of Qin!"

"All of you, get out of here! The world will belong to the King of Han!"

"Bullshit, Young Master Shi is the best in the world!"

“…”

While arguing, everyone looked at Li Dejian as if he were a mentally retarded person.

Li Dejian's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

These idiots!

It would be fine if he just scolded me, but he even scolded my father and His Majesty!

Suddenly, he shouted, "I'm kindly offering you some salt water. What are you talking about? Drink it or not. If you don't want to drink, get out of here!"

After he finished speaking, the strong men brought by Li Dejian also crossed their arms and rolled up their sleeves as if they were about to beat someone up.

Fuck!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Is there really such a way of doing business?

Instead of trying to please these customers, he started scolding them?

The princes' navy's faces turned green with anger.

Immediately, they put aside their past grudges and united as one.

Now the enemy is few in number and we are many in number; it is a good time to use our numbers to bully the few.

The dragon is on my face, I don’t know how to lose!

With this in mind, these water armies are ready to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

Li Dejian has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so how could he indulge this group of people?

He was kind-hearted enough not to report to the police and have these outspoken people arrested.

Only one person.

It's done in no time and without any effort.

He beat the troublemakers to the ground, making them piss and shit and flee in panic.

"The Major General is mighty!"

"The young general is awesome!"

“…”

Everyone immediately changed their attitude and began to praise Li Dejian.

At this time.

The water in the big pot had boiled. The soldiers took out many ceramic bowls, pinched a pinch of white salt, sprinkled it into the bowl, and then scooped a large spoonful of boiling water. A bowl of salt water was ready.

Everyone stared at the bowls of steaming salt water, but no one dared to try it.

Li Dejian became anxious upon seeing this and urged:

"Come on, drink, it's free, drink for free! If you don't take advantage of such a good deal, are you a fool?"

"Come on, drink for free! If you have the guts, drink my Li family into bankruptcy!"

Everyone: “…”

Damn it!

Everyone is short of money, so are you worried about money?

This salt seller is unreliable. Everyone is afraid that they will get sick after drinking it!

Salt is so expensive, who would give it to someone for free?

The scene was completely silent.

finally.

A brave man stepped forward and said, "Alright, drink it! You have a scar the size of a bowl on your head, and you'd be a fool not to take advantage of an opportunity."

"I, Ma Sanyuan, will lead the charge today and try this free salt water!"

After saying this, he immediately stepped forward with a fearless attitude and took a bowl of salt water.

The salt water is boiling hot.

Ma Sanyuan simply blew twice and then couldn't wait to take a sip of the salt water.

In an instant, a faint salty taste stimulated his taste buds.

This...this!

Ma Sanyuan's eyes sparkled, as if he had discovered some rare treasure.

He was not afraid of the heat and couldn't help but take another sip.

No problem!

This salt water has no bitterness or astringency at all!

Just salty.

Simply salty.

Extra refreshing salty.

I feel chilled to the bone, yet my heart is high!

He was not afraid of the heat at all and drank all the salt water in one gulp.

Then I was shocked and stunned.

The bowl in his hand fell to the ground uncontrollably, and with a clang, it shattered into pieces!

"Damn it!"

A spy who was about to drink the salt water jumped half a meter high in fright, trembling and saying:

"Damn, guys, don't drink it, this salt is poisonous!"

The others' faces changed instantly and they took a step back.

It turns out that he is not a serious salt!

At this moment, Ma Sanyuan suddenly shouted, "Major General, how much is your salt per pound? I, Ma Sanyuan, will buy it!"

With his loud roar, the people who were about to run away were stunned.

What's going on?

Isn't this salt poisonous?

Why is this person asking about the price of salt? Is he drunk?

When Li Dejian heard Ma Sanyuan's question, he knew that the other party had tasted the power of white salt.

He said with a smile: "This white salt is not expensive, ten strings of cash per pound."

hiss!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped!

The coarse salt sold by the Nine Surnames Family was only fifty cents per pound.

Better quality salt would cost only three or four hundred coins per pound.

Even the tribute salt the emperor ate was only three strings of salt per catty!

What kind of salt is this?

He actually asked for an exorbitant amount of money, ten strings of cash for one pound?

What a joke! Is Pharmacist Li crazy because of poverty and wants to rob people?
