Looking at the snow-white sand in the bowl, the bosses were all shocked.
Changsun Wuji asked curiously:
"Boss Zhuang, you said this is refined salt?
But the salt we eat every day?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled and nodded, saying:
"Yes!
However, this salt is much purer than the salt you usually eat, and it has no bitter taste."
As he spoke, Zhuang Zhou had already pinched a pinch of salt and sprinkled it on the peanuts.
"Come, have a taste!"
Everyone was not waiting for anything and immediately picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
“It’s delicious!”
"A mouthful of salty flavor!"
"This salt doesn't taste bitter at all!"
"Good salt, it really is good salt!"
“…”
Now several big guys are staring at Zhuang Zhou with admiration on their faces.
Even Wei Zheng was extremely surprised.
Could this person be an immortal who has descended to earth? Otherwise, how could he have such exquisite fine salt?
"Zhuang Zhou, how much refined salt do you have left?"
Li Er asked directly.
Zhuang Zhou originally thought about bringing salt from later generations here to sell and make a fortune.
But if you think about it carefully, this will actually do more harm than good to the Tang Dynasty.
Because the Tang Dynasty now has no shortage of salt.
But it is the lack of purification technology.
Besides, salt has always been the most important thing for rulers in all dynasties.
It is a national issue.
So Zhuang Zhou didn't dare to make any plans on salt.
He also immediately decided to present the salt-making method to Li Er.
"Your Majesty, I would like to offer the method of making refined salt so that ordinary people in the world can afford salt."
Li Er obviously grasped the key point:
"Zhuang Zhou, are you saying... you can make salt?"
When the other bosses heard this, their eyes suddenly turned to Zhuang Zhou.
There was disbelief in all those eyes.
Zhuang Zhou nodded calmly and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty.
When I was traveling around the world with my immortal master, I met a hermit and learned how to make refined salt from him.
Compared with traditional salt drying and boiling methods, this method not only has a higher yield.
And the purity of the refined salt is far beyond ordinary.”
This is of course a fabrication.
But there is no way!
I had previously told Li Chengqian that I was taught by the immortal master Li Er.
This lie has to continue.
As the saying goes, one lie requires countless lies to cover it up.
Li Er didn't care about this, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
But he soon frowned again and said worriedly:
"Zhuang Zhou, do you know how powerful this method of making refined salt is?
If it falls into the hands of criminals, they will use it to monopolize salt, and the people will suffer, right?
Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly and said:
"Your Majesty's concern for the country and the people is truly a blessing for the people of the world.
The reason I dare to offer this method is because I have a suggestion."
"Oh? What do you suggest?"
Fang Xuanling asked curiously.
Zhuang Zhou said in a deep voice:
“I suggest that the imperial court set up a special salt administration agency to be responsible for the production and sale of refined salt.
This agency was directly controlled by the imperial court, ensuring that the output and price of refined salt were within controllable range.
At the same time, the imperial court could also establish a salt monopoly and sell it to the outside world in a unified manner to prevent private monopoly."
"OK!"
After hearing this, Li Er's eyes flashed with admiration and he said:
"Zhuang Zhou, your suggestion is very good.
This not only ensures the quality and output of refined salt, but also prevents criminals from taking advantage of the opportunity to monopolize the market.
In this way, the people can truly eat high-quality and low-cost refined salt."
Upon hearing this, the bosses nodded in agreement.
They knew that Zhuang Zhou's move was not only for the people of the Tang Dynasty, but also for the prosperity and stability of the entire Tang Dynasty.
Zhuang Zhou looked at everyone's satisfied expressions and felt relieved.
He knew that he wanted to transform the Tang Dynasty.
These are the most basic things.
Moreover, in the future, all the people of the Tang Dynasty will be able to eat salt.
What a meritorious deed this would be.
At this time, Li Er suddenly stood up and bowed to Zhuang Zhou.
Everyone was shocked.
What is your Majesty doing?
Zhuang Zhou was also puzzled, and then he heard Li Er say:
"Zhuang Zhou, I thank you on behalf of the people of the world!"
Li Er is such a straightforward person, as long as you are truly doing good for the Tang Dynasty.
He is completely willing to put down his pride and listen to you.
Wei Zheng had the most experience in this regard.
Now that Li Er has set an example, the other big guys also bowed to Zhuang Zhou.
This is truly for the people of the world.
Zhuang Zhou also quickly stood up and bowed to everyone:
"Please rest assured, since I have the honor to come to the Tang Dynasty, I will certainly do my best to contribute to its development."
Although no one quite understood what the "adding bricks and tiles" meant.
But the meaning is completely understandable.
Thinking of this, Li Er felt that he could bring up what was on his mind.
We must completely tie him to the development of the Tang Dynasty.
"By the way, Zhuang Zhou, I think you are about twenty years old, right?"
Li Er introduced the topic at this time.
Zhuang Zhou didn't know what he meant and replied:
"More than that, I'm twenty-two this year."
"Oh, that's quite a big one! Are you married?"
"No! It's still early!"
"It's still early. At your age, you should have started a family and established a career in the Tang Dynasty. How about I arrange a marriage for you..."
After Li Er finished speaking, the other big guys were also moved.
