Zhang Ruoxu glared at the man and said, "Why are you innocent!" ”

"Hmph, when will the old man stain your innocence!" The speaker glared angrily.

"I am a literati and a scholar, and you actually say that I sell illicit salt!" Zhang Ruoxu was furious and said: "I'm a Tang Dynasty, a farmer and a businessman, and you will list me as a businessman." ”

"It's not a dirty thing to clean my name, what is it?"

"I am a scholar, and now you have slandered me as a merchant, what is this not slander?"

"It's not a dirty thing to clean my name, what is it?"

Zhang Ruoxu asked.

People grow tall.

It's also loud.

A shout asked, and commanded the thunderbolt.

Frightened those who were weak-hearted, and didn't dare to say more.

"You...... You ......" The official glared at Zhang Ruoxu and said, "Even if it's not you who sell, it's the people in your house who sell it, and you instructed it to sell it!" ”

"Your Majesty, I have never sold illicit salt, there are only people in the house, and I have never sold illicit salt!" Zhang Ruo said loudly.

"Lang Lang Qiankun, above the main hall, do you still want to deceive the king!" A speaker stepped forward and shouted angrily.

"The snow salt in Chang'an City, isn't it made and sold by your county government?" The other official looked angry.

"Zhang Ruoxu, in front of the court and in front of His Majesty, you dare to swear that there is no illicit salt in your house!"

"Your Majesty, this son should be handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation!"

“……”

The speakers said one after another.

"You claim that there is evidence, but what about the evidence?" Zhang Ruoxu smiled and said, "It is not a gentleman's work to slander people's innocence!" ”

"If I sell illicit salt, I am willing to accept punishment, but I am not selling illicit salt, we are so bullying me to get justice!" Zhang Ruoxu said loudly.

"Hmph, Zhang Ruoxu, you can recognize this thing!" A speech officer's face was full of anger, and then he carefully took out a cloth bag and opened it.

Hold it in the palm of your hand.

The cloth bag was filled with fine salt.

"Recognize, isn't this the sodium chloride made from my house?" Zhang Ruoxu smiled, not caring at all.

"Hmph, Your Majesty, you see, he himself admits that this salt flows from his mansion, which is the evidence of the crime of selling illicit salt in his mansion!" The speaker said triumphantly.

This time, these people came prepared.

"Zhang Ruoxu, don't subjugate the law yet!"

"Your Majesty, this son despises the king's law!"

"Your Majesty, if you don't deal with it, how can you correct the law of the country?"

“……”

Those officials were full of excitement one by one.

Kong Yingda and other officials secretly sighed a pity.

What can be acknowledged?

What can be admitted?

"Your Majesty, Nian is still young and ignorant in Gaoyang County, please give your Majesty a light punishment." Zhang Gongjin hurriedly stood up.

"Zhang Ruoxu, what else do you have to say?" Li Shimin stared at Zhang Ruoxu and asked.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, have you eaten so much salt, but have you ever been so white?" Zhang Ruoxu asked.

"Not before." Li Shimin shook his head.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before this thing appeared, you could have eaten such white as snow-white salt? Salt that doesn't have a bitter taste at all? Zhang Ruoxu was a little proud.

"This ...... There really isn't. ”

"No matter how good the refined salt is, it also has a hint of bitterness."

"Is this really not salt?"

“……”

The ministers present were also a little puzzled.

The salt of this era does not taste very good.

Even if it is refined salt, it is not as white as Zhang Ruoxu, and it has a little bitter taste.

There are too many impurities in the salt.

"Hmph, so far, you are still quibbling!" A Zheng official said with a sneer.

"Am I quibbling?" Zhang Ruoxu smiled and said, "No, no, no, you probably don't know that I am loyal, honest and loyal." ”

"In the entire Tang Dynasty, who doesn't know that I, Zhang Zhonghou, am the most honest and loyal?"

"Your Majesty, Lords, the thing that is refined in my house is not salt, but sodium chloride, something that looks like salt, but is not salt."

"You can look closely, the sodium chloride is snow-white, like ice crystals, and the salt is slightly yellowish."

"Taste this sodium chloride carefully, salty, no bitterness at all."

"Sodium chloride is sodium chloride, what can be said to be table salt?"

"Is he salty, is table salt?"

"The sea water is salty, can the sea water be eaten as salt?"

"The fish in the sea have a salty taste, could it be that the fish in the sea are made of salt?"

"Honey is sweet, sugar is sweet, but two different things."

"Coptis chinensis is bitter, and the core of lotus seeds is also bitter, can it be said that Coptis chinensis is lotus seeds?"

“……”

"So, the thing I make in my house is called sodium chloride, not salt!"

Zhang Ruoxu gushed endlessly.

"So, there is some truth to it." Zhang Gongjin smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, what is sold in Gaoyang County's Mansion is not salt, but this is greening!" ”

"That's true, the salt on the market has some bitterness, and this green has no bitterness at all, it is salty, how can it be salt?" Cheng Biting Jin Le said.

"Your Majesty, although sodium chloride is not salt, it can replace salt." Zhang Ruoxu stood up with a smile and said, "Moreover, the yield is high. ”

"The minister is willing to hand over the method of making sodium chloride and present it to Your Majesty, so that the people of my Tang Dynasty can eat this sodium chloride." Zhang Ruoxu said.

"Oh?" Li Shimin was immediately interested and said, "How about this yield?" ”

"It only takes 1,000 people, and it can produce millions of stones every year, or even more, and the cost is not high, several times lower than table salt." Zhang Ruoxu said.

"Good, good, good. It seems that the Qing family cares about the people of the world, good, great goodness. Li Shimin was very happy.

The courtiers from the family in the main hall heard it.

Secretly screaming is not good.

If so, wouldn't it be an impact on the family's salt industry?

When the time comes, won't the power of the family be weakened.

The reason why the family is a family is not only because there are many books and officials in the family, but also because the family is rich!

Reading books was a very expensive thing in ancient times.

And private salt is the Maison's largest source of income.

"Your Majesty, no, since this thing is not salt, maybe it is poisonous, how can it be eaten by the people of Datang?" An official stood up and said: "Zhang Ruoxu's move is suspected of poisoning the world!" ”

"Your Majesty, this thing is only afraid that it is poisonous, and it cannot be promoted!"

"Your Majesty, since this thing is not salt, how can you let its poison flow to the world?"

“……”

These officials from these families said one after another.

"Hahaha......" Li Shimin's eyes widened: "Are you deceiving me and ignorance?" This was thought to be refined salt and snow salt, and I think I have eaten a lot of it in your home. ”

"If it's poisonous, how can you stand and talk in this Datang!"

Li Shimin was also angry.

These families headed by five surnames and seven hopes!

They should all be wiped out!
