"Because the wind is really strong, it's really good to be able to move forward in the strong wind."
Zhao Xin did not criticize these people's hair much. He just asked them if they had any memorials to submit, and if so, they should speak up quickly.
"Your Majesty... We've already lost several men in this border crossing. Most of them were secretly executed because they were exposed along the way."
"Did they recruit?"
"I will not obey you until I die."
"That's good. Is there anything else?"
Those beloved ministers touched the leaves on their heads and quickly plucked them off, then took a step forward.
"Your Majesty, this year's grain harvest is indeed rather poor. Although the grain has been returned to the national treasury, the problem of poor quality cannot be changed."
"That's true."
The weather this year was really bad, so the quality of the harvested crops was truly unimpressive. It's certainly not very good, but... it's edible.
"But we have other industries that we can monopolize, so there's no need to worry."
"Your Majesty, the salt industry is also producing salt from a different source. This has led to a significant increase in the price of salt, and the price is getting higher and higher. The quality of fine salt has not improved, but the price has increased."
"You mean the price has gone up?"
"right."
It is true that this thing is valuable because it is rare.
"I understand. I was indeed a little negligent about this."
It is true that I have to establish a monopoly. After all, if the salt falls into the hands of others, the price will increase drastically like other things.
"I have already monopolized the production of sugar, so naturally I will give you a fair price for these two items, so is there anything else wrong?"
"Your Majesty, there are no more."
"If you have anything to report, please do so. If not, please leave the court—"
Xiao Chenzi next to him cleared his throat and shouted something like this, but no one responded, apparently meaning that he was asking the court to leave immediately.
Even though they are away from work, this group of people are indeed very dedicated.
So after leaving the court, he immediately asked someone to investigate who was involved in the salt incident.
You won’t know until you ask, the difference between sugar and salt is really huge.
One is only a few cents and the other is dozens of cents.
He specifically lowered the sugar content, but this group of people thought it was a breakthrough. Aren't they afraid of his punishment by raising the salt content?
"Take back the salt. From now on, no one outside of us will be allowed to make salt through any means, whether it's sun-dried or otherwise. If I find out, I will punish you."
"Your Majesty... We don't actually have a salt-making workshop."
He only opened Tiangong Kaiwu in his spiritual consciousness, but found that it did contain information about the workshop's practices. It was written very clearly, and almost everything from beginning to end was written on it.
Then he naturally took out a statement from his robe and put it on the table.
The craftsman on the opposite side couldn't help but exclaim in admiration after receiving this thing. He had to say that this thing was written so well that even every step was marked.
I’m afraid you’ll take a wrong step.
"It's written here enough for you to see clearly, so why don't you go quickly."
After taking the instruction manual, the craftsman on the opposite side hurried back to prepare for construction, while the group of craftsmen were surprised and confused after seeing the instruction manual.
They could never have imagined that the emperor could construct such a precise engineering drawing, and the markings on it were even very precise, which made them unable to help but praise this engineering drawing.
After a few experiments, I found that there was indeed nothing wrong with this thing.
"As expected of you... Your Majesty!"
After the experiment, the group of people found that there was no problem and quickly took action to make the experimental drawings of this thing. However, they found that in terms of technology, there was indeed no problem with this thing and it also added automation.
Naturally, the prerequisite for automation is the need for electrical energy or kinetic energy.
And at this time, this kind of thing is indeed lacking, so I can only worry about it.
Then the group of people were arrested one by one and brought to justice. The money was naturally sold by them, for example, it could be exchanged for gold and silver jewelry or real estate. Such money cannot be taken back rashly.
And even if you take it back it will be distributed unevenly.
So the group of guards came up with a plan to take the house deeds and land deeds back to the emperor, and as for the money of these people, they were allowed to embezzle it directly.
The leader of this group of people was Zhu Nie.
Wen Nana, who had previously planned to enter the camp, also followed this group of people.
For some reason, the two of them chatted very happily, and those who didn't know would think they knew each other.
And it feels like they have a very good relationship, but these two people know in their hearts that they and the two people opposite them have been enemies from the beginning to the end, and it still feels like enemies will meet on a narrow road.
"Why, knowing that you are a martial arts expert, His Majesty intends to use you to take my place? That's impossible, even if you have a good reputation in the martial arts world."
"Then have a match with me!"
Zhu Nie ignored her and just walked forward on his own. The two of them looked more like a couple having a quarrel.
"If a fight breaks out in the city... you might as well go to jail for a while."
These words were spoken coldly, and Wen Nana on the opposite side almost remembered that, yes, fighting is indeed not allowed in the city. If public facilities are damaged, it will be considered as provoking trouble and will be sent to the cell to serve a few days of prison food.
That's so tragic.
The guard who followed Wen Nana next to him had a serious expression on his face.
"Fifth Master, why should we be afraid of such a person?"
After saying this, Wen Nana curled the corners of her mouth, signaling this person not to say anything outside.
"That's right. The Fifth Master is also a well-known figure in the martial arts world. He might be afraid of this bastard!"
This sentence undoubtedly aroused the hatred and conflict between the two people.
"Who are you calling a bastard?"
"Whoever answers is the boss. I really don't know what you did to the Fifth Master. In the past, the Fifth Master was so famous that no one dared to approach him, and yet you actually ignored him!"
"Shut up!"
"grown ups!"
"This is the Imperial City, not your so-called place. While your title can indeed bring you benefits in the martial arts world, this is the Imperial City, not a place for you to run wild!"
"you!"
“That’s enough!”
Wen Nana just clenched her fists and said nothing. Her servant was indeed talking too much. When did he become so impulsive?
"Fifth Master, you..."
"I've said enough!"
Then he went to the restaurant across the street, grabbed the silver in his bag and threw it at the front desk.
"Serve one portion of each dish."
The receptionist swallowed her saliva when she saw so much silver, as if she had never seen so much in her dreams. Then she looked at the woman opposite her and knew she was someone she didn't dare to mess with.
The big shot is coming.
"Then please... take a seat. Take the sign for the second floor. It will be delivered to you once it's ready."
"Okay, I'll wait then."
Then she went directly to the second floor.
