Others, "..."

That's all...

Could she have spoken more lightly?

The emperor was tired.

Fortunately, he was still worried for a long time. Who would have thought that the Princess of Jingnan would think that Dongjue Nanjiang and others had bought too little?

Stay for a few days and then pick them up.

Prince Xin looked at Su Tang and said, "The salt contract is not a piece of cake. You must be sure."

Su Tang didn't say anything, her head turned quickly. Xie Boting replied to the old prince's letter, "Tang'er said before that within half a year, everyone in Ningchao would be able to eat snow salt, and three months would provide a thousand dan."

It will never be a problem to give it to Dongjue and Southern Border."

The Emperor Long Yan was even more pleased, "It's good to have full confidence."

Su Tang looked at the emperor and said, "I need to know the distribution location of the existing salt mines in the imperial court and the size of the salt mines. After returning home, my husband and I will determine the method of refining salt and send it to the emperor, so that various places can refining salt together."

"

After Su Tang finished speaking, before the emperor could speak, Xie Boting asked, "Is there any other way to refine salt?"

Su Tang said, "Salt includes sea salt, mineral salt, well salt, etc. The methods used are generally the same, but there are some differences. Previously, I used that method to refine a small amount of snow salt. For an amount like several thousand dan, the trees on the mountain can

It cannot be chopped down, it needs to be dried in the sun to make salt.”

Others were confused and didn't understand. Xie Boting understood it at first, because Su Tang explained to him the principle of how coarse salt melts into water and becomes snow salt when he was in the farmyard. Now he heard Su Tang say

, he realized that he had misunderstood what Su Tang said, that within half a year, all the people in Ningchao would be able to eat snow salt.

Su Tang's food is delicious not only because there is enough snow salt in the market for people to buy, but also because the price is affordable for everyone.

Using firewood to evaporate water to make salt is very expensive, but using the sun to dry it is much less expensive.

The emperor didn't understand, but it doesn't matter whether he understood it or not. What's important is that coarse salt can be refined into snow salt, and the quantity is sufficient. The emperor looked at Xie Boting and said, "I'll leave this matter to you."

The salt department is a fat job, the kind that is so fat that it bubbles up. The emperor entrusted this matter to Xie Boting, which is a sign of trust.

But Xie Boting didn't want to take this job at all. He finally consummated his marriage with Su Tang, so he was reluctant to let him travel around to make salt. Moreover, he was the prince of Jingnan, and he would be the prince in the future.

In order to inherit the military power from his father, he had never thought about other errands besides fighting at the Border Pass.

Xie Boting refused without even thinking, "Your Majesty, let's leave this errand to Zhongyonghou and his son. They have made great contributions to the court regarding the salt trial. The salt business with Dongjue Nanjiang and others was also negotiated by Zhongyonghou.

After a few months, it would be safest for Marquis Zhongyong to negotiate with them. Before they return to the capital, I will take care of them for the time being and let me take care of this matter."

"Compared with the account books, I would rather read the military books. In the future, my son will inherit his father's legacy."

The emperor laughed loudly and said, "I was negligent. In the future, you will replace King Jingnan to protect our territory in Ning Dynasty. I can rest assured that according to your wishes, you will temporarily take charge of the salt affairs until Marquis Zhongyong returns to the capital."

Xie Baiting received the order.

When nothing happened, Su Tang and Xie Boting were ready to resign.

Just as he was about to speak, a father-in-law came in from outside and quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Queen Mother has fainted."

The father-in-law looked eager, but the expressions of everyone in the imperial study did not change much.

The Queen Mother fainted at this moment, and she could guess with her toes that the Queen Mother fainted because she knew that Su Tang wanted the Censor to impeach her for political interference in the harem.

This is the truth. The Queen Mother fainted out of anger entirely because of herself and she has no one to blame.

But the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, and the court governs the world with filial piety. If the Queen Mother faints, the Emperor cannot know about it and pretends that he does not know, so he has to go and visit.

But when the Emperor comes to the throne, is it inappropriate to rub salt into the Queen Mother's wounds?

Watching the emperor walking to the Yongshou Palace of the Queen Mother, Su Tang walked briskly and left the palace with Xie Boting.
