Qin Shihuang glanced at the crowd and was very satisfied with their reactions.
I think he almost couldn't control himself when he heard the output value just now.
He nodded, looking serious.
“Yes, the output value of this thing is indeed very high.”
"Meng Yi, I'll leave this food to you to grow. You must make sure it grows well. I want all the people of Daqin to eat it!"
Hearing this, Meng Yi bowed solemnly and replied loudly: "Yes!"
Ying Zheng raised his hand and helped Meng Yi up, his eyes full of thriving ambition.
"Yi! This is the hope of the Great Qin. I hope you will plant it well. It only needs to be cut into pieces and wait for it to sprout before planting. You must not let me down!"
Meng Yi nodded heavily, with the words "it must be possible" written all over his face.
After giving the instructions, Ying Zheng walked in front of Li Si again.
There was refined salt in front of Li Si. Ying Zheng picked up a small bag of refined salt from the sack, handed it to Li Si, raised his head towards him, and signaled him to open the package.
"You open it. Tear it open along this spot. Be careful not to spill the contents."
Li Si carefully took the refined salt and slowly tore open the package according to the location indicated by Ying Zheng.
As soon as the package is torn open, the fine refined salt comes into view.
Before they could wonder what this thing was.
Ying Zheng told everyone the answer.
"This is refined salt."
The shock brought by this sentence was far more intense than the feedback brought by the output value of potatoes.
After all, everyone has only heard about the output value of potatoes from Qin Shihuang, but has not witnessed it with their own eyes.
But the salt is the finished product placed before everyone’s eyes.
Li Si's hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold the bag of refined salt.
His lips trembled and his pupils had widened into balls.
"Salt, Your Majesty, you said this is refined salt!?"
His voice broke when he spoke, fully revealing the shock in his heart.
Qin Shi Huang nodded solemnly: "Yes, this is refined salt, you can try it."
Li Si was the first to reach out, pinch a few grains of salt and put them in his mouth.
The moment it entered his mouth, his eyes, which were already like balls, became even bigger.
It seemed as if the eyeballs would fall out of the eye sockets in the next second.
"Your Majesty, this salt tastes so good! It's completely different from the salt Daqin currently uses. This refined salt is less bitter than the salt currently used."
Meng Yi was so anxious that he reached out from behind Li Si, grabbed a handful of salt and put it in his mouth.
The refined salt melts in your mouth, and its light salty taste is much better than the salt consumed in the Qin Dynasty today.
He clapped his hands excitedly: "Great! This salt is amazing!"
Wang Ben, Zhao Gao and Fusu also went up and pinched a handful of salt and put it in their mouths.
Several people felt the same as them and thought the salt was very good.
Seeing that everyone had tasted the refined salt, Li Si suggested to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, if we can sell this salt, the national treasury will be greatly enriched!"
Qin Shi Huang nodded and said, "Yes, if refined salt can be mass-produced, the price of crude salt will drop significantly, and the common people of the Qin Dynasty will also be able to afford salt."
The emergence of refined salt will surely attract dignitaries and nobles, and the market price of coarse salt will drop, so that the common people will also be able to eat salt.
Although salt has always been controlled by the government, and even though selling private salt is not allowed, there are always desperate criminals who cause trouble behind the scenes.
The introduction of refined salt at this time can greatly divert the attention of those desperate criminals.
but.
"However, I don't have the formula for this refined salt at the moment. I can only release a small amount so that everyone can focus on this refined salt."
"As long as I find the method to make refined salt, then everyone in the entire Qin Dynasty will be able to eat salt!"
When Ying Zheng said this, he looked very domineering.
The pressure from the greatest emperor of all time filled the entire side hall of Xianyang Palace.
Li Si and others bowed with their hands lowered.
"May your majesty's wishes come true!"
"May your majesty's wishes come true!"
"May our Great Qin be everlastingly powerful!"
"May our Great Qin be everlastingly powerful!"
Every word is full of passion.
The eyes of the people present were full of passion, even Zhao Gao was now equally excited.
Ying Zheng laughed heartily and waved his robe: "Alright! As you wish!"
"Zhao Gao, you've always had a lot of ideas. I'll leave this matter to you. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and gave him serious instructions.
He solemnly handed the refined salt to Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao is smart and he is the only one who can handle this matter.
Zhao Gao bowed deeply and replied firmly and loudly, "Yes!"
The fourth bag was self-heating rice, which Ying Zheng only briefly introduced.
“This is self-heating rice.”
Fusu frowned, looked at the square box in front of him, and asked in confusion.
"Sir, what is self-heating rice?"
Can rice heat itself?
How can this be justified?
Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu meaningfully and was not prepared to explain to him.
He still doesn't understand how Fusu led to the death of the Second Emperor of Qin.
Although Fusu was a bit stubborn, he was still clear about his abilities.
If it really died in the second generation.
I'm afraid there is a high probability that Fusu did not ascend the throne.
But Ying Zheng did not say it out loud. He was also worried that Fusu might have become corrupted by following Chunyu Yue.
That is why he died in the second generation after ascending the throne.
Now Ying Zheng still doesn't know what exactly happened.
But he knew very well that Fusu could no longer follow Chunyu Yue.
Otherwise...his brain would be really finished.
Even a stubborn donkey can't compare to him.
Ying Zheng ignored Fusu's question and walked straight to Wang Ben.
Pointing to the bag in front of him, he said slowly, "This is rice."
Everyone knows about rice, but no one has ever seen it this white.
Ying Zheng was not planning to tell everyone about the situation of rice. He didn't know why the output value of rice was so high in later generations, and there was no need to tell everyone.
After checking all the bags, the eunuch's voice was heard outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the things have arrived."
"Enter."
The door of the side hall was opened.
A group of eunuchs, each holding something, entered one after another.
Qin Shi Huang returned to his desk and ordered his servants to distribute these things to several people.
Everyone returned to their desks and sat cross-legged.
He looked at what was in front of him, puzzled.
Wang Ben looked up with a puzzled look on his face and asked Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, this...?"
It's so late at night, and we're asking them to eat?
And these things seem to have never been seen before.
It smells really good.
Ying Zheng raised his head slightly and gave orders to everyone.
"Try the food in front of you first, and tell me how it feels."
