Chapter 120: Performing in person
The scene above the hall was a little strange, after Li Yan said this, the two Han generals stood in place and did not move, nor did they do it, they stood there awkwardly, rubbing their trouser legs back and forth.
Hearing only a tooth-sour sound, Emperor Hongzhi, who had turned his head in anger, slowly twisted back, stared at Li Yan without moving, and asked with difficulty for a while.
"You really made this table salt yourself?"
Emperor Hongzhi's face is very strange, as if he was bitten by his favorite pet dog, because he likes it, not only can he not be angry, but he also wants the ninja to come to comfort the dog, and he looks like a dog lover who is alive.
Of course, this is not to say that Li Yan is like a dog now, because Li Yan's arrogant appearance at the moment is simply like a big fighting in Shandong, which is indispensable.
If Young Master Xu was also in the hall at this moment, he would definitely find that Li Yan's expression was exactly the same as his own, and he couldn't wait to lift his tail to the sky after doing a good deed.
Li Yan has already cocked his tail to the sky now, and if Emperor Hongzhi allows, Li Yan would like to string these ministers on the tail and send them all to the sky to see the Buddha......
Who made them so cheap just now?
"The minister doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty, the salt used by this brocade guard to melt the snow is indeed developed by the minister."
Li Yan put his hands on his waist, bent down slightly, and replied calmly.
Although Li Yan was calm, anyone could hear the imperceptible pride in his tone.
Listening to Li Yan's own admission, the ministers couldn't hold their mouths again.
"I'll just say, Jinyiwei is a personal soldier of the Heavenly Family, how can he deceive His Majesty in such a big matter."
"I am very optimistic about Li Yan, although he entered the Jinyi Guard at a young age, but this does not affect my appreciation of him as a civil official."
"The old man discussed with Lord Liu, Li Qianhu is talented and intelligent, since he can develop salt, then he must be able to develop other things to revitalize my Ming Dynasty."
"It's all Your Majesty's blessings, and I'm about to prosper again."
Listening to the many ministers in the hall who were still criticizing themselves just now, they turned their guns one after another, not only did they not doubt themselves at this time, but even praised themselves upside down, and Li Yan despised this group of sanctimonious ministers even more in his heart.
…… What kind of people, a lot of people who are old and still learn to be old and disrespectful on both sides of the wall, they really should find a time to mark all the money in their hands with their own names.
On the surface, these ministers seem to be in a state of disarray, eager to wear patched and shabby official uniforms to the court every day, but in fact they are all rich and flowing, and belong to the kind that bubbles up every pinch, and if they are put on the fire, it is certain that there is no need for extra spices.
Listening to the praise of the ministers, the pride on Li Yan's face became deeper, and at this moment Li Yan couldn't wait to pretend to be a master, and then threw the soles of his shoes on the faces of these ministers, and told them with contempt: The little master has salt! What the little master has is salt!
"Li Yan, I ask you again, the method of making this salt is unique to you?" Emperor Hongji asked again.
He saw the reaction of the ministers just now, and when the ministers praised Li Yan one after another, Emperor Hongzhi's face was as red as a monkey's ass, and the ministers he pulled up were like grass on the wall, and the wind had not yet blown much, and it had already begun to fall with the wind......
This made him, the supreme leader, a little uncomfortable. But his subordinates are so urinating, Emperor Hongzhi already knew about it, and soon changed his face.
Emperor Hongzhi still doesn't believe in himself......
Hearing this, Li Yi bowed to Hongzhi and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, the minister can demonstrate it for Your Majesty on the spot." ”
Emperor Hongji was overjoyed. "Really?"
"Of course it's true! It's more real than real money! ”
……
…………
Emperor Hongzhi's words Li Yan had already understood, to put it bluntly, he didn't believe that he could develop salt, in order to block Emperor Hongzhi's mouth, Li Yan had to get salt out for him in front of Emperor Hongzhi's nose.
In other words, unless Li Yan is in front of Emperor Hongzhi, no matter how much he says, it is useless.
Hearing Li Yan's acceptance, all the ministers also nodded and praised one after another, and the remarks that were still on Li Yan's side just now immediately turned against each other, and they all ran to stand at Emperor Hongzhi.
"Your Majesty is still wise, just now I was deceived by this good news for a while, and I didn't consider the truth of this matter."
"You really should let Li Qianhu show us in person."
"Old minister...... I think so, too. ”
On the dragon chair, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but pin his head over...... He really can't see the faces of this group of ministers, how can he be even more shameless than Li Yan? Kindness? It's shameless!
Soon, Emperor Hongzhi ordered someone to prepare the things that Li Yan wanted, and then set a table on the main hall, and everyone began to wait for Li Yan to do it.
Almost everyone stared at Li Yan intently, not even the slightest trace of it, for fear of missing something important.
Li Yan can see the thoughts of this group of ministers, which is nothing more than wanting to secretly learn the technology of developing salt by himself.
But Li Yan dared to give them a demonstration in front of so many people, so he was not afraid that they would learn secretly, in other words, they would not be able to learn.
As soon as all the items were placed, just when everyone was waiting for Li Yan to start, Li Yan suddenly said to Emperor Hongzhi. "There is another necessary thing for making salt, because it is used a lot, so the minister has not brought it, and I ask Your Majesty to allow the minister's servants to send it."
"Oh? What other ingredients? Hearing Li Yan's request, Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.
In fact, he originally planned to steal Li Yan's skills, but after all, as the king of a country, he was still a little embarrassed to ask a courtier for something, but fortunately, Li Yan took the initiative to say that he could demonstrate it in person on the main hall, and Emperor Hongzhi even asked people to take a pen to record Li Yan's every move in the back......
But now Li Yan suddenly told himself...... He also needs a raw material!
"Alas...... Li Yan, you tell me...... Is table salt difficult to develop? ”
Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said faintly.
"Uh...... This is actually not difficult, the most important thing is the raw materials that the minister puts at home. ”
"And is this raw material only available to you?"
Hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask.
"Theoretically......" Li Yan glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, and then said cautiously. That is true. ”
"Isn't that still just you?" Hearing this, Hongji, who was looking forward to it a second ago, suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth, waved his hand, quite disappointed, and pouted dissatisfied.
"Li Qianhu, you are still ...... Send someone back to get it, I can't wait. Emperor Hongzhi began to urge Li Yan.
