"Not only is the salt non-toxic and harmless, the King of Qin also distributes it to the people of Qin for free."
"After receiving the salt, the people ate it immediately and there were no sequelae or side effects."
After hearing this, the King of Chu was shocked again!
"What? Free distribution?!"
"Not only did the King of Qin develop non-toxic and harmless fine salt, he even distributed it for free?"
"He...he is trying to force me to death!"
"If the people knew about this, I don't know how they would make a fuss."
"King Qin...you have such a vicious plan!!!"
After hearing the words of the King of Chu, the spy was deeply shocked.
So this is what the King of Qin had in mind?
Want to use salt to guide the people?
Stir up public opinion?
Use the people to incite rebellion again?
First collapse internally, and then wait for an opportunity to send troops to attack them?
Vicious!
What a vicious intention!
The spy immediately asked, "My king, what should we do?"
"If the King of Qin succeeds in his plan, then we..."
King Chu: "Immediately block the news! Do not let the people in the country know about this!"
Spy: "No, my king!"
"This incident spread like wildfire throughout Qin State, and many merchant caravans returned from Qin State."
"This matter has been widely publicized, and now most of the people in the city know about it."
"I think everyone will know about it in a few days."
When the King of Chu heard this, he immediately fell into his chair.
King Qin, this is indeed a very vicious plan!
He actually used salt to break his first line of defense!
King Chu: "Where did you get the recipe for this fine salt?"
"Before, they used the same fine salt as us."
"How can fine salt suddenly be made into refined salt?"
"It also removes the toxins in the fine salt."
The spy said, "This... was also taken out by that gentleman."
"What?"
"Is that the salt-making recipe that gentleman brought out again?!"
The King of Chu was furious!
"Where on earth did this gentleman come from? How could he come up with so many unheard-of recipes?!"
Spy: "I don't know...
"The King of Qin has kept the news about this gentleman a secret."
"Our people couldn't find a chance to go in and investigate."
“I can’t get any specific information.”
After listening to all the reports, the King of Chu waved his hand and let the spy go.
Afterwards, he summoned his advisers and told them everything.
The counselor asked, "What is the king's plan?"
"With our domestic salt production methods, we are currently unable to completely remove the impurities and toxins contained in fine salt."
"It's even more impossible to mass-produce fine salt."
"If you want to follow the example of the King of Qin, you should also give the people free salt."
"Not to mention that the national treasury can't support it, even for this fine salt, we can't produce so much."
Of course, the King of Chu also knew this.
It's just that I couldn't find a solution at the moment.
King Chu: "Do you have any solution?"
"If I just let this go on and do nothing, the people will rebel against me sooner or later."
"If they all defect to the Qin State and the King of Qin, what will I do?"
Advisor: "The only solution now is to find a way to get the recipe for making fine salt."
"Produce fine salt as quickly as possible, otherwise if time passes, I'm afraid even the army won't be able to hold it back."
After hearing this, the King of Chu was also a little embarrassed.
"I would like the salt-making recipe, but my spies report that it was created by a master from the Qin State."
"No one knows where that gentleman is."
"Apart from you, the recipe for making salt is known only to the King of Qin and the person who is responsible for making salt."
The counselor said, "Then let's find a way to get the recipe from the person in charge of salt production."
"As long as we have this recipe, we can also produce fine salt in batches."
"By then, the people and soldiers will no longer have to worry about lack of salt."
The King of Chu said: "Okay, then I will immediately arrange for someone to retrieve the salt-making recipe from Qin at all costs!"
The counselor added, "If we can't get the prescription, we can just bring the person back."
..........
Nineteen has been very busy lately.
General Wang Jian was in charge of most of the production and manufacturing of the salt fields.
But the packaging and transportation are all handled by Nineteen alone.
The soldiers and generals under his command were all busy as hell.
I push the cart every day and the wheels are about to smoke.
After delivering another batch of salt, Nineteen went to the palace to report on the recent situation.
After listening to this, Ying Zheng nodded.
"Okay, well done, I understand."
"I'm going to the inn tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
Nineteen: "Okay!"
"It's been a while since I've been there, so I'm going to visit Mr. Wang and see how Wangcai is doing."
He hasn't been to the inn for several months since his last visit.
I still miss you.
Fusu, who was sitting behind a desk, also spoke.
"Father, why are you asking Nineteen and not me?"
"I also want to go to the inn!"
Ying Zheng said, "You shouldn't go. You should stay and learn how to handle government affairs."
Fusu pursed his lips, "Father..."
"Not this time, I'll take you there next time."
Ying Zheng: "If you don't learn how to handle government affairs quickly, how can I trust you with the future of my great Qin?"
