The originally noisy square suddenly became solemn under that order, and everyone bowed their heads and slowly walked towards the main hall in a certain order. As for the sins of heaven...... Heavenly Sin didn't understand anything, and he didn't know where he should stand, so he simply ...... Just put it.

When everyone, including Lao Guo, had already walked into the main hall, and he was the only one left in the entire square, Heavenly Sin still felt inexplicably embarrassed.

What's the matter? Is it ...... Or not? Still is...... Take the opportunity to slip away? No, no, no, just rush at the cautious Majesty...... Slipping away is very strict.

At this time, in the main hall, after the ministers stood up, His Majesty also slowly walked out from behind, sat on his high seat and looked around.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The officials shouted in unison and bowed their hands.

"The family is exempt."

"Emperor Xie!"

It's tedious, but necessary.

His Majesty glanced at it again, frowned and said, "Where is the Hou of the First Family?" ”

He really didn't see it, after all...... If Heavenly Sin were standing here, how conspicuous would it be? It's only one little one.

The ministers below are all you look at me, I look at you, and most of them don't know which one the marquis is. At this moment, the imperial historian Liao Wuji stood up and said loudly: "The minister has this music!" ”

His Majesty muttered in a low voice, 'I really don't know how to watch the time', and then frowned: "Say it." ”

Liao Wuji walked out of the queue and arched his hand and said: "If a marquis does not enter the house when the time comes, it is for one crime, and it is a second crime for the court to not wear court clothes!" Please also ask for your majesty. ”

His majesty was stunned, yo, what's wrong? His little marquis has just come back the day after he comes, and he has an enemy? He's really a troublemaker.

He smiled and pouted: "Hmph, the shelf is quite big at a young age, announce a family of marquis!" ”

"Xuan Yihu Hou Meeting!"

Rows of voices came out one after another, and the guards outside the main hall hurriedly trotted to the side of Tiansin, who was squatting on the ground looking at the bricks, and said respectfully: "Lord Hou, Your Majesty has invited Lord Hou to the palace." ”

Tiansin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, then shook his head and walked towards the main hall, went up the steps, looked at the civil and military ministers on the left and right, and went straight in, until he felt that he was almost away from His Majesty, he stopped and smiled: "I'm here, what's the matter?" ”

"Poof!"

Many people couldn't help but burst out laughing, and His Majesty was also embarrassed, waving his hand and saying to himself: "A family is a foreign country, and it is normal for him not to understand the rules of Nanming, and there is no hindrance, but why didn't he come in before?" ”

Tiansin scratched his head and said, "No one picked me up, and I didn't tell me what to do, I feel that I was neglected......" He said quite aggrieved.

The corners of His Majesty's eyebrows twitched, and after taking a deep breath, he asked, "I don't blame you for this, then...... Why don't you wear court clothes? ”

Heavenly Sin seemed to have found the conversation, and immediately said, "Yes, this is it! In the morning, they also asked me if I was coming, saying that I should wear court clothes to go to the court, but ...... But...... No one gave it to me! ”

"Hmm......"

His Majesty was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at Li Deshun, who immediately lowered his head. Li Deshun felt that he had forgotten something before, and now he finally knows, the court! A family of marquis's court clothes is not yet there!

Hurriedly said: "Report to Your Majesty, because the court clothes of a family marquis are in the process of being prepared, so ...... It has not yet been delivered to the Hou Mansion. ”

Majesty nodded, it can be regarded as finding a scapegoat, it stands to reason that the court clothes need to be issued together when the title is hand-picked, but ...... He also forgot. The main reason is that the natural sin is too small, and he has no foundation in Nanming, so it is easy for people to treat him with a 'joke' mentality, so this kind of low-level mistake is being made by everyone.

His Majesty coughed and said, "Well, Xiao Lizi is not doing well, and he will be fined for half a year." Then he said to the sin, "It is not your fault at all. ”

Tiansin nodded happily and looked left and right, not knowing where he should be standing.

And His Majesty said at this time: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you are all curious, why would I give such a title to a child for no reason, in fact, Su Tiansin has an extremely important thing to give to me, and this thing is enough to exchange for such a title, a marquis, is I right?" ”

The corners of Tiansin's eyes twitched, and he muttered 'shameless' in a low voice, and then took out a cloth bag from his arms in His Majesty's angry eyes, reached in, grabbed a handful of refined salt, and sprinkled it directly on the ground. Sunlight poured in through the main entrance of the main hall, shining on the refined salt, emitting a crystal light.

Some ministers asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

Heavenly Sin said indifferently: "Salt." ”

The minister was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, and the laughter was obviously contagious, and the ministers laughed one by one.

Heavenly Sin ignored it, and directly took out a roll of sheepskin from his bosom, which was the easiest thing he could find to write, and said: "This is the method of refining refined salt, as long as His Majesty can find an ideal salt mine, it can produce a thousand catties of refined salt in a day." ”

After speaking, he shook the parchment roll in his hand quite indifferently, and picked his nose with one hand.

But the audience was completely silent by his words, the sound of ridicule was gone, not even the sound of panting loudly, and there was only the sound of more and more crazy heartbeats. Everyone quickly calculated in their hearts, if that white powder is really salt, and it can produce thousands of catties per day, then ...... What an important thing for Nan Mingguo, this is simply self-evident!

How important is salt? There are salt mines, there are four salt mines in the Southern Ming Dynasty, all controlled by the state, only one is in the high mountains, the other three are buried underground, the miners risk their lives every day and can only mine dozens of catties of qualified 'salt stones', these salt stones are transported to all parts of the country by guò various means of transportation, some big cities are okay, some remote areas regard salt as treasure, often a good fist of large salt stone can be exchanged for a sturdy livestock!

But this does not guarantee that you will be able to exchange for salt, and some areas simply eat 'bitter salt' or even 'poisonous salt', and the bitter salt is okay, except for the unbearable taste, there is no other risk. Poisonous salts are different, they are poisonous, and people who take them all year round will become weaker and weaker until they die. And this kind of poisonous salt also depends on 'luck', some people in the mountains and forests can often see animals licking the rocks when they go to the mountains to hunt, and when they dig down those rocks, they become poisonous salts, and some poisonous salts will even die if they eat them, it is completely a matter of luck.

Like what...... In a village, all the villagers gather together to elect the old and weak, lick the poisonous salt, and live and die...... between the lines. This is not a fantasy, but a 'normal thing' that happens all the time on the whole continent. The national strength is limited, and the salt is insufficient.

For the people, salt may be more important than spar spirit stones!

His Majesty was also shocked, and suddenly stood up and asked in a panic: "Yihu Hou, are you saying that the method you have is not only refining refined salt, but even ...... It's the method of mining at all?! ”

Yes, he has always thought that the refined salt refining of Heavenly Sin is refined using 'salt stone' with a special method, which can improve the taste and facilitate collection and transportation, which is enough to make Heavenly Sin have a knighthood, but this method will definitely not be able to increase the 'yield'. But now, the words that come out of the mouth of the heavenly sin clearly mean that the yield can be increased! Not only can it improve the quality and transportation of salt, but also increase the yield?!

The significance of this is not a big one......

Tiansin looked impatient, pouted, and said, "Hey, do you want to see it?" ”

"Quick...... Submit it quickly! ”

His Majesty almost said it with a roar, Li Deshun hurriedly ran down, took the sheepskin roll with trembling hands respectfully, and then walked up to the high platform quickly and carefully, he was afraid that if he used a little force, he would destroy this sheepskin a little, and it would be a great crime for him to forgive!

His Majesty took it with trembling hands with the same care, unfolded it lightly, and then ...... Then he tilted his head and was stunned.

This is obviously something that has just been drawn out of charcoal ash, with a line in the middle, and a small figure on the line, which is very ugly. There are a few vertical lines under the line, and there is a big circle under the vertical line, and there are some wavy lines in the circle, which are not ...... at all I don't understand!

His Majesty raised his head in astonishment and asked, "Yihu Hou, this picture you drew ...... What does that mean exactly? ”

Heavenly Sin rolled his eyes and said, "I don't understand this? It clearly shows all the processes of mining and refining refined salt, isn't there a line in the middle? That's the ground, and that's where the salt mines are, and then dig a ...... in the ground."

"Wait!"

His Majesty suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the Heavenly Sin, looked left and right, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down.

Heavenly Sin wondered, "What's the matter?" ”

Looking at Tiansin's impatient and breezy look, His Majesty was about to go crazy. This is the secret of salt mining! Priceless? No, no, no, its value can be described as overwhelming! And then...... And then you little bunny is going to say it in front of so many people?! Silly?

But if you don't let the heavenly sin say, what excuse can you have? Saying that this is a big secret and should not be known by the civil and military officials below will not lose their hearts? But said ...... It's a secret to call a fart! Tangled, tangled sweating.

"You...... I...... You...... I ......"

I have been standing for a long time, and I don't know how to prevaricate this matter, so I am even more angry at the heavenly sin in my heart, secretly thinking that you, a little brat, really don't understand anything, but the genius of Tianzong is a big idiot who can't look at his face!

When I was annoyed, I suddenly saw Guo Zhennan, the general of Zhenguo on the side, secretly sniffing a small bottle, which looked extremely obscene and annoying.

So he shouted: "Guo Aiqing, what are you doing?!" ”

Guo Zhennan was startled, the bottle in his hand was almost knocked off, and his hands danced wildly before he could catch it, and then walked out of the crowd with an embarrassed and aggrieved face, and said: "Your Majesty, my old Guo was so confused by this smell that I couldn't help it...... I couldn't help but sniff it a few more times......"

His majesty frowned and said, "What smell?" And how can you not think about it? "Obviously very annoyed.

Guo Zhennan looked left and right for help, but found that all the officials were looking at their noses and noses, and they didn't look this way, and they were in a hurry for a while, and he suddenly pointed at the heavenly sin and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's him!" It was this family marquis who used a small bottle of strange wine to tempt Lao Guo! It's all his fault! ”
