Relieved?
It is impossible to feel relieved.
There was no need to guess, Gu Sang could imagine that Pei Changying, who was sitting high in the Golden Palace at this moment, would be furious and cursing.
The last time Zhao Ronghua jumped off the building was a thorn in Pei Changying's heart.
At this moment, he must have a murderous look in his eyes, shouting that he wanted to kill Zhao Ronghua.
Concubine Li, who was on duty and now known as Palace Maid Li, couldn't help but shed tears the moment she saw Zhao Ronghua's face at the gate of Xuyang Palace.
"Sister Zhao."
"Is that you? Have you finally escaped from this man-eating imperial city?"
"very nice."
Unfortunately, I will never be able to escape from this cage!
Even death is a luxury for me.
The emperor is becoming more and more perverted now. He no longer insists on physical torture, but mentally tortures her every night.
She was isolated, mocked and targeted by the eunuchs and palace maids, and occasionally they would imprison her in a deep dungeon, making her afraid, desperate, and collapsed.
When they were about to torture her to death, they released her and continued to torture her over and over again.
Li Bin's biggest wish while she is still alive is to see the dog emperor lose his kingdom and die with her own eyes!
Only then could she calm down the torment she had endured throughout her life.
Gu Sang followed Cheng Yuanyuan in calling this gentle and clever woman Xiaojiu.
Xiaojiu got up early in the morning and prepared a table of dishes, waiting for the two of them to come.
Each dish is so exquisite that it seems as if it was made by the chefs in the imperial kitchen, with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, like a work of art.
Gu Sang gave the gift to Xiaojiu and said embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry to bother you today. It must be very hard to cook so many dishes."
“And every dish is so exquisite it could be on TV.”
Xiaojiu accepted the gift generously without refusing or feeling embarrassed.
She smiled with a smile on her face: "You can eat as much as you want without any psychological burden."
"I'm a food blogger. Researching food and recipes is my hobby. There's no such thing as hard work in a hobby. Even if you guys didn't come, I would still make these complicated and expensive dishes."
"It's great that you can come. You can help me finish all the food. Otherwise, it would be a waste if I can't finish it all by myself."
After Gu Sang took his seat, Xiao Jiu asked gently and generously:
"I want to take some videos, would you mind?"
"If you don't want to leave the film, I will edit it out in the later release."
Listening to Xiaojiu's words, Gu Sang's voice unconsciously became gentler.
"I don't mind."
Xiaojiu did not film the entire meal, but only took close-ups of each dish before the meal started.
During the meal, Gu Sang learned that Xiaojiu was going to film the production of lake salt, well salt and sea salt in the afternoon, and then refine them separately, and then summarize for netizens which salt tastes better.
Gu Sang expressed his interest and wanted to learn together.
Xiaojiu was naturally very welcome, and Cheng Yuanyuan was also very curious about the salt-making process.
After lunch, the three of them drove to the beach to collect salt. Looking at the tools in Xiaojiu's trunk, Gu Sang asked humbly, and Xiaojiu explained carefully how to use each tool.
In the main hall, all the civil and military officials looked at each other in surprise.
If they remembered correctly, Concubine Gu's live broadcast could be seen by people in more than a dozen cities.
If you make salt privately, you will be beheaded in the street.
And in later generations, weren’t people prevented from making salt privately?
Pei Changying turned his eyes away from Xiaojiu, his lips trembling with anger. "Gu Sang! What are you trying to do today? That bitch Zhao Bin is clearly dead, so why are you finding someone who looks so much like her to broadcast live?"
"This matter has clearly passed, why are you still making such a fuss?"
"Also, you told the people the salt-making method in public. What are your intentions?"
"You've lived in the palace for so long, and you clearly know that making salt privately is illegal."
“You are causing the people to commit sin!”
Gu Sang sneered, "Don't put everything on me. The common people are too busy working in the fields to spare any time to collect and make salt."
"If the imperial salt was sold cheaply, why would the people bother with it?"
"Furthermore, if salt production increases, it will benefit the entire country."
"Pei Changying, what's on your mind every day? Instead of studying how to make sea salt so that it becomes finer and easier to eat, you're worried about someone making salt?"
The people of the capital were shocked and stunned when they heard Gu Sang scolding the emperor. Many of them gritted their teeth, shrugged their shoulders, and tried hard to hold back their laughter.
Hold it in, they can't laugh!
They didn't even dare to imagine in their dreams what it felt like to curse an emperor who was so high and mighty.
But the goddess actually opened her mouth and compared the emperor to shit?
Plague city.
The people looked at the red figure standing in the front, and their hearts were filled with gratitude.
The eldest princess is still the best!
Every time the goddess broadcast live, the princess never forbade them to watch. Even when it came to matters like salt making that had to be kept secret, the princess did not let the soldiers drive them away.
After hearing the goddess scolding the emperor, although they could not hear the emperor speak, they could guess how angry the emperor was and how he tried to stop it.
Officials want to keep all profitable businesses firmly in their hands, and the poor will never have any way out.
And the eldest princess is so generous...
Gu Sang: "Is this salt? I never thought a bag of ordinary, cheap salt would have to go through so many steps."
"You are really excellent."
Xiaojiu was busy the whole time, while Gu Sang was helping to get the tools.
But looking at the salt he made, Gu Sang felt quite satisfied.
"Yes, the salt is still a bit coarse, so the taste is not that good. It needs to be processed further to make the salt finer." Xiao Jiu took the time to answer Gu Sang.
Because of the live broadcast, Xiaojiu’s production process is very detailed, and even ancient people can understand it.
After watching the production process of sea salt, lake salt and well salt, as well as how to process crude salt to make it more suitable for people's taste.
Pei Changying immediately issued an order, allowing people living by the sea to collect and produce salt for the court to purchase.
Although Gu Sang broadcast the salt-making method to the people live, Pei Changying quickly issued an order prohibiting the people from going to the seaside to collect salt.
Thanks to the production of sea salt and lake salt, people living by the sea have an extra income.
But that’s a story for later.
In the Plague City, the Princess did not stop the people from making well salt privately, but for safety reasons, she still ordered that the salt made and sold privately by the people must be inspected by the government before it can be sold.
In addition, the government needs to take 10% of the salt sold by the people.
At the beginning, there was indeed a rush of salt mining and production throughout the Plague City, but when they found that after working for a while, the salt they had was not enough to last for a month, they gave up the idea.
