Chapter 121 The Sole Supplier
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't wait, how did this sentence sound a little weird, the ministers had not played an online game, so they naturally didn't know what this sentence meant, but Li Yan almost couldn't help but burst out laughing directly.
Can't wait? Then let me show you the real thing!
ordered people to go home and bring what they wanted, and Li Yan began to wait quietly in the main hall.
The ministers and Emperor Hongzhi couldn't see what they were thinking, especially the ministers, their eyes rolled straight one by one, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
These flamboyant guys with a tuned stomach must not have anything good in mind...... And most of them are playing their own ideas.
Li Yan thought so.
Not long after, someone took back what Li Yan wanted.
The things Li Yan wanted were packed in a huge white porcelain jar, which was white porcelain inside and out, and the things contained in it were naturally hydrochloric acid.
In ancient times, there was no such thing as a glass test tube, so naturally Li Yan could not get a suitable thing to hold hydrochloric acid, and after selecting for a long time, Li Yan found that as long as the white porcelain utensils could ensure the quality of hydrochloric acid while not being eroded by hydrochloric acid, so the white porcelain jar became the best choice for Li Yan to hold hydrochloric acid.
"Li Qianhu, what is this? Can you tell me? "Emperor Hongzhi, in line with the excellent quality of living and learning, began to ask questions again.
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were full of little stars, and Li Yan naturally wanted to rescue this poor man who had fallen into the sea of endless learning.
So Li Yan put on a pedantic appearance and said with a straight face. "Your Majesty, don't underestimate the contents of the jar, this jar is filled with hydrochloric acid, the scientific name is hydrogen chloride, which is the main material for making table salt, and secondly, put this hydrochloric acid together according to a certain proportion, it will become table salt."
"Your Majesty, look." Li Yan began to skillfully fiddle with the things in his hand.
There is no glass straw, Li Yan uses a white porcelain spoon instead, and without a glass test tube, Li Yan uses a white porcelain bowl instead, all in all, but there is nothing Li Yan has found a substitute.
Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers stared intently at the things in Li Yan's hands, only to see that after a while, Li Yan came over with a small white porcelain bowl.
"Your Majesty, this is table salt, and now it's just salt water, as long as it's dried and dried, it's the salt we use every day." Li Yan said.
In order to further prove that the bowl of liquid in his hand is table salt, Li Yan also asked a little eunuch to come over and try it himself, and after the little eunuch took a sip, he immediately looked for water all over the world to drink, and told Hongzhi that the bowl was indeed table salt.
Hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded Li Yan with one hundred taels of gold, and then stared at Li Yan without blinking.
Li Yan also stared at Emperor Hongzhi without blinking, the two of them stared at each other, and looked at each other for a long time with a tacit understanding, and finally Li Yan couldn't stand it anymore, and asked with a crying face.
"Your Majesty is really a gift from the dragon body, and even in the blink of an eye, this kind of game is played so flawlessly, the minister is really admired."
"Hmph......" Emperor Hongzhi snorted proudly, still staring at Li Yan without blinking.
Li Yan didn't look at Emperor Hongzhi this time, but slapped his head and went out directly. "Oops! Your Majesty, the minister suddenly remembered that the minister still has a case that has not been dealt with! The minister will retire first! ”
After speaking, Li Yan walked out.
"Li Qianhu's case is not in a hurry!" Emperor Hongzhi stopped Li Yan.
"Your Majesty! The ministers of the people's affairs will never dare to take it lightly, so the ministers should go back! ”
Li Yan still has to go out.
"It's okay, you tell me what it is, and I'll let someone else do it."
Emperor Hongji refused.
"Your Majesty really wants to know?"
Li Yan blinked his eyes.
Seeing this, Hongji nodded happily. "Of course."
"That'...... What did the minister say? ”
"Say it."
"Actually, it's not a big deal, but recently there are always people who are worried about the minister's private property, since the minister developed the salt, he always wants to get something out of the minister, the minister is afraid that they will find the house, so I want to go back and have a look."
"Ahem, cough, cough, cough ......" Emperor Hongzhi suddenly coughed, his face red like a monkey's ass.
……
…………
But after saying so much, Emperor Hongzhi still didn't want Li Yan to go.
Li Yan has used all methods, some people fight, some people fight, and even the excuse that his wife is in labor has slipped out of Li Yan's mouth, but Emperor Hongzhi still has three words and is not allowed to leave.
The ministers stood below and watched Li Yan and Emperor Hongzhi battle wits and courage there like two little children.
Li Yan has many excuses, Emperor Hongzhi has more excuses, no matter what things are there someone who can deal with them for Li Yan, there is no problem with your wife giving birth, you can pick the stable woman in the palace, the kilometer is not enough, I will go outside to find it for you, to ensure that your child can be born smoothly......
In the end, Li Yan really had no excuses...... There is no way, except that the emperor died and did not say it, Li Yan said all the excuses that could be said by Li Yan, in fact, Li Yan wanted to say that the emperor died, but considering that Hongzhi might fight with himself after saying this, he swallowed this sentence very wisely.
What are you kidding, Emperor Hongzhi will be mad......
……
…………
"Your Majesty, tell me, what the hell is going on?" Li Yan began a showdown.
"I want to know if the salt you developed can be mass-produced."
"Absolutely!"
"Can you give this technique to me?"
"Aha? How is this possible? Are private patents good? Li Yan vetoed it on the spot.
How is this possible, after all, it is his own private technology, and the main thing in it will not be used even if it is given to Hongji!
Li Yan did not agree.
"Really?" Emperor Hongzhi was ready to put pressure on Li Yan.
"Your Majesty, it's really not good, it's not that the minister doesn't lie to you, only the minister himself can do this thing, does Your Majesty want to mass produce salt and then let the people of the world eat salt?"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded.
"The minister can do this for His Majesty, as long as the minister is identified as the only manufacturer in the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing this, Hongji raised his eyebrows. "Huh? Don't try to deceive me! ”
Just when Emperor Hongzhi was a little angry and wanted to refute Li Yan, Li Yan suddenly spoke weakly. "I can give six of my proceeds to the treasury."
"Your Majesty, this matter can be considered."
Li Dongyang, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up.
