Yin Jiuchen shook his head and said, "Even if this salt is refined, it's useless. Although it's the same as the table salt we eat every day, it can still cause poisoning." Yin Jiuchen said helplessly.
Gu Lili smiled mysteriously.
"I have a way to make the salt in this seawater the same as the salt we usually eat!"
Yin Jiuchen's face lit up with joy. If this were true, it would be a great joy for the Southern Yue Kingdom.
Gu Lili smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course! This is the gift I wanted to give you!"
Since Yin Jiuchen had seen it, Gu Lili decided not to hide it anymore.
Inform Yin Jiuchen directly.
"This is more than just a gift for me; it's a gift for all the people of the Southern Yue Kingdom!" Yin Jiuchen exclaimed excitedly.
Salt mines were scarce in the Southern Yue Kingdom, so salt was always a rare commodity.
Prices have also risen accordingly.
If a method for producing refined salt were found, not only would the common people benefit, but the Kingdom of Nanyue would also be able to sell salt to other countries that lack it.
This will also boost the economic development of the Southern Yue Kingdom.
However, the method of production still remains in the hands of the army of the Southern Yue Kingdom.
Otherwise, if the method were to circulate among the common people, it would be inevitable that spies would learn it.
Gu Lili didn't care about these things, nor could she interfere with them.
The only hope is that salt will no longer be scarce, so that every household in the Southern Yue Kingdom can have salt to eat.
Yin Jiuchen's thoughts were exactly the same as Gu Lili's.
His tutor once told him that a strong people make a strong nation, and a wealthy people make a wealthy nation.
"Lili, I think you are truly a lucky star for my Southern Yue Kingdom!" Yin Jiuchen said sincerely.
He had visited the sweet potatoes that Gu Lili had planted earlier that day.
The yield is excellent. If it could be promoted on a large scale and everyone could start planting it, then no one would starve to death anymore.
Gu Lili was both amused and exasperated, and said, "I'm not some lucky star at all, I'm just opportunistic."
Yin Jiuchen disagreed with Gu Lili's idea; in his eyes, Gu Lili was a lucky star.
Not only did she save his life, but she also brought benefits to the people. When he returns to the capital, he will definitely praise Gu Lili to his father and mother.
I believe they will like Gu Lili like this.
"Lili, should we boil all this seawater dry up?" Yin Jiuchen asked.
Li Tiansheng brought back ten buckets of water, and it would take quite a long time to boil them all dry.
Gu Lili nodded. Originally, if Yin Jiuchen hadn't come, Gu Lili planned to fill up the water tank and then buy some coal so she wouldn't have to keep guarding it.
But now that Yin Jiuchen has arrived, it seems inappropriate to take out the coal anymore.
Seeing Gu Lili nod, Yin Jiuchen waved to the shadows, and Wei Yin walked in.
"Your Highness, what are your orders?" Yin Jiuchen asked, bowing respectfully.
Gu Lili couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. How come she hadn't noticed Wei Yin outside earlier?
If Yin Jiuchen had ordered her to monitor her, wouldn't it be perfectly clear that she would unintentionally buy something from her spatial storage?
Although Gu Lili felt that Yin Jiuchen would not do such a thing.
Wei Yin was originally a secret guard, always hiding in the shadows to protect Yin Jiuchen.
If Yin Jiuchen hadn't gone missing, they wouldn't have shown up.
Or rather, they don't easily appear in front of outsiders.
However, Wei Yin's appearance also reminded Gu Lili.
In the future, be careful when taking things out of the space again.
Yin Jiuchen pointed to the burning stove on the ground and said to Wei Yin, "Go and bring some more firewood over here. You stay here tonight and boil all this water away."
Wei Yin glanced at the water bucket on the ground. Although puzzled, he still obeyed the order to go next door to fetch firewood.
Wei Yin was a little confused about what Gu Lili and Yin Jiuchen were up to.
Boil the water dry?
Something feels off; isn't this just a waste of firewood?
However, since his master had given him instructions, he naturally had no room to question them.
"Lili, let's go. I'll take you back to rest. Leave things here to Wei Yin. You've traveled for so long, you must be very tired," Chang'an said softly.
Gu Lili thought about it and realized it wasn't a technical job; all she had to do was boil the ten buckets of water until they were dry. She didn't need to keep an eye on them, so she nodded in agreement.
Just as the two reached the front yard, Gu Yun Chu returned from the East China Sea.
Gu Yun Chu was about to kneel down and pay her respects when Yin Jiu Chen stopped her.
"Yun Chu, you don't need to bow to me in the future," Yin Jiuchen said with a smile.
Gu Yun Chu glanced at Gu Li Li, who nodded, and Gu Yun Chu then responded in a low voice.
Yin Jiuchen felt that Gu Yun Chu didn't dare to say anything while he was there, so she went back to her room to rest.
After Yin Jiuchen left, Gu Yun Chu quickly patted his chest, and Gu Li Li glared at him in annoyance.
It's no wonder Gu Yun Chu was afraid; her fear of imperial power was ingrained in her very bones.
It is indeed a bit difficult to understand Gu Lili, who comes from a world where everyone is equal.
"Sister, this is last month's account book. Take a look when you have time," Gu Yun Chu said, handing the account book to Gu Li Li.
Gu Lili took the ledger and put it into her sleeve.
“Okay, I’ll take a look when I have time in the next few days. Yun Chu, you’ve been trying to train Huang Zhixiong recently. I want him to take over Baiweixuan. Come back to my side and help me with some things.” Gu Lili said to Gu Yun Chu.
If Huang Zhixiong is capable, he should replace Gu Yunchu.
Gu Lili still wanted to leave the family matters to her own people.
After all, it's more reassuring to do things with your own people.
Gu Yunchu nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll teach Zhixiong for a few days first, and I'll come back when he's comfortable with it!"
Given Gu Lili's many burdens, Gu Yun Chu naturally wanted to help share some of the load.
As for Zhang Dahua, Tiedan's mother, and Aunt Dazhu, they can just pick them up and drop them off every day.
After giving her instructions, Gu Lili washed up and went back to her room to rest.
Gu Lili was indeed exhausted; she even forgot to distribute the gifts she had bought for everyone from Jiangdu.
After washing up, I lay in bed, and soon I could hear even breathing.
It had been a long time since Gu Chenxi had slept in her own bed, but whenever the weather was nice, Gu Chenxi would take Gu Lili's quilt out to air it.
All I could think about was that no matter when Gu Lili came back, I could sleep on a soft, cozy bed.
Gu Lili slept soundly and deeply.
It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that Gu Lili slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at the sunlight streaming through the paper window, Gu Lili stretched lazily.
Gu Huanhuan slept with her last night, but the little girl is nowhere to be seen now.
I guess they saw that Gu Lili was sleeping soundly, so they woke up and quietly left.
After this sleep, Gu Lili felt refreshed and full of energy; she hadn't slept so soundly in a long time.
