Chapter 25: For the Country? For the people? The second test of the little scholar's 'Du Xuan'

"Lord Du, please take a look, can you recognize this thing?" Bai Fan handed the sandalwood box in Yuan Tiangang's hand to Du Ruhui!

When you open the beautifully made sandalwood box, you will see a snow-white place, as if the box is filled with snow!

This! What is it?

Du Ruyan was puzzled, such a beautiful thing, it was really the first time I had seen it! After getting Bai Fan's permission, Du Ruhui boldly pinched a handful with his hand!

Yes! This! Is this salt?

"Lord Du, as you can see, this thing is salt!

Of course, I call it 'snow salt'! Bai Fan explained.

Where did this come from? Du Ruhui immediately asked, he who has been in a high position for a long time, naturally understands the role of such treasures! nodded secretly in his heart, no wonder the two of them said that it was for the benefit of all people!

Wrong!

I felt a burst of residual warmth coming from my fingertips! This? Could it be that it has just been made?

So, it is not this salt that really benefits all people, but does it? How to make salt?

is worthy of being one of the top figures in Datang, and in a moment, his thoughts flashed, and he had already guessed the matter!

Du Ruhui's expression changed from initial shock to calm after thinking it out, and asked calmly: "This thing seems to be newly made, so it seems that the two of you have mastered the production method of this snow salt?" In this case, it will be a blessing for all people! ”

Yuan Tiangang opened his mouth and said: "Lao Dao wanted to rush to the palace immediately, and present this happy event to the sage (the title of the emperor was also called a saint at the time of the Tang Dynasty), so as to benefit the people as soon as possible.

But the younger brother didn't agree, so there was a dispute!

I don't know what the hell is for my junior brother? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Du Ruyan could probably guess Bai Fan's thoughts, although Yuan Tiangang was a Taoist master, he didn't understand the affairs of the court thoroughly after all!

If this thing is taken out, it will definitely be the merit of the marquis, and all the people in the world will be grateful for the merits of the two!

Yuan Daochang is public-minded, just for the sake of the people, there is nothing wrong, which also shows that the Taoist is worthy of his name!

Bai Fan stopped it! It may be that there is careful thinking, thinking about maximizing the use of this thing, so as to make detailed plans and win more benefits! If it's really because of this, then this person is worth thinking about, with such a vision, it should be difficult to become a big thing, I hope not!

It is also possible that Bai Fan saw the situation clearly, and at this time, Yuan Daochang presented this thing, and the credit went to the two brothers, and there was no mistake! But you must know that the two of them have already joined the Qin Wangfu some time ago, and if Bai Fan stopped it in order to hand over this thing to the King of Qin and present it to the sage, then this merit will have a piece of the Qin Wangfu, which will be a great help to the great cause of the King of Qin!

Thinking of this, Du Ruyan was faintly surprised, he was still so young, wouldn't he have this vision? Investing a piece of credit in the present can be sealed, but what if it is invested in the future? Once it's done, it's limitless! is so old-fashioned, this is obviously the style of an old fox in the court for many years, how old is he?

With a flash of thought, Du Ruhui asked quietly, "I don't know why Little Brother Bai wants to stop this?" What Yuan Daochang said should be right! There must be many people in Datang who can't eat salt and are tortured, the sooner this thing appears in the world, it can benefit the people sooner! ”

made up his mind to take the school Bai Fan, Du Ruhui did not express his opinion, but just asked questions with Yuan Tiangang!

Bai Fan can see it clearly, this famous wise man of the Tang Dynasty must have analyzed the benefits and disadvantages himself! But I just want to ask myself, do you want to take the school exam?

Laughing secretly in my heart, how can I be despised by you? Do I still care about wealth and wealth?

Bai Fan Zhengse said: "Needless to say, the role of this thing can benefit the people, and it can also benefit all generations!" But when Nai is not right, this thing should not be born!

Earlier, the younger brother promised to give this thing to the senior brother, but at that time, he was naΓ―ve and didn't think about anything else, just to come up with a gift of sufficient weight!

But this time and that time! I have lived in Laojunguan for so many days, and I have come into contact with a lot of people and things, and I see that although the world of Datang is fixed, the prosperity has not really come! It is estimated that it will not be long before at least one civil strife will arise!

Lord Du, if you respect your personality and wisdom, although it is a bit rebellious in the next remark, but since I have entered the palace of the King of Qin, I should plan for the great cause of the King of Qin, I believe you can understand the stakes here! ”

Du Ruhui nodded, I have never met him, why does he trust me so much? Even bluntly said that the DPRK and China are in dispute?

"Snow salt is not only unique in quality, but also simple in preparation, it can be used to make snow salt from the world's useless bitter salt, poisonous salt, and even useless seawater, and the output is enough to supply everyone in Datang with unlimited supply!"

What the? Is there such a miracle? Du Ruhui was already stunned, it was really unimaginable!

"So you know how important this technology is!

Such a technology must be firmly grasped in the imperial court, and it must not be leaked! Once it leaks, the mild consequence is that it will be learned by the traders, and it will be used to make a profit!

No matter how serious it is, it is just learned by the gangsters, so that they can get rich and then become the evil party!

Or those with bad intentions, use this to make a fortune and rebel, or use it to damage the Tang Dynasty!

All of the above belong to the disease of ringworm and scabies, and they are still under control!

But senior brother, have you ever thought about what if this thing is an inner ghost in Datang, and you take this recipe to give it to an enemy country outside Datang? Goguryeo? Tibetan? Tuyuhun? Gao Chang? Or - Turkic? ”

This one? Yuan Tiangang obviously knew that he was a little dizzy! I have to guard against it!

Bai Fan then explained: "The enemy barbarians originally lacked salt and iron, and because of this, the enemy country's national strength was basically weaker than that of the Tang Dynasty!" But if they have the recipe to make salt, they can be self-sufficient in salt, or they can make a profit from it! In less than five years, Datang will have an unprecedented enemy!

At that time, how many casualties will there be among the people's soldiers? Compared to this, what is the salt that eats less or a few days later? ”

Yuan Tiangang retorted: "This thing is handed over to the sage, and the benefits are clearly stated, and it only belongs to the top secret under the control of the imperial court, so there will be no possibility of leaking secrets!" I can't just choke on food! Although the junior brother is also dedicated to the country, but the state affairs are civil, and if you can't plan for the country, you can't care about the people! ”

Du Ru shook his head secretly, Yuan Daochang's political vision is still a little insufficient! However, this proves Bai Fan's superiority even more, I didn't expect him to be able to think so far at such a young age, even if he was slightly inferior in this matter!

"Wrong! Senior brother, maybe not before, and not in the future, but at this time, it is very possible!

You, me, and Lord Du all know that King Qin and the crown prince have been fighting openly and secretly for so long, sooner or later there will be a fight!

The winner will sit firmly in the Tang Dynasty, but what about the loser? Even if the king fails, he will not betray the Tang Dynasty, and the so-called brothers are insulted outside the wall! But don't forget, both of them have a group of die-hard people! And this group of people still belongs to the people who hold the real power in the DPRK and China, and who will give the method of salt production to whom? No matter who it is handed over, there is a danger of leakage in the future, and only when the King of Qin settles the world, this thing will really see the light of day!

Only after the state affairs are decided, can this thing truly benefit all people! Otherwise, if the timing is not right, it will cause unpredictable harm to the people! Bai Fan seriously explained the stakes!

Several people in the room were moved by these words, yes, this is indeed the truth!

As for why he didn't shy away from Li Chunfeng, this is Bai Fan's intention to mention his nephew and increase Li Chunfeng's status in King Qin's camp!

Du Ruhui bowed to the scholar in front of him, who exuded a strong sense of righteousness, "Du has thanked Mr. Bai on behalf of the people of the world!" Mr. seeks the well-being of all the people, regardless of his own interests, honor and disgrace, Du admires! ”

Du Ruhui was moved by Bai Fan from the bottom of his heart, before he guessed that people were for money, he was really the heart of a villain, but he didn't expect that although he was young, he could resist the great temptation, and he could resist the pressure of rebellion, and make such a far-sighted calculation, I might as well too!

Bai Fan returned the salute, "Lord Du, don't be like this, if the class has an axe, I think the adults have long known that this thing is not suitable for birth, and they are willing to take the school examination!" I just hope that the adults will keep this matter secret, and the snow salt will stop at the four of us, when the prosperous world comes, the snow salt should come out! ”
