Mike's expression was very strange, and he stayed quietly in the room alone for the afternoon after agreeing to be Li Yan's bodyguard...... Mirror.

The housekeeper was very worried, thinking that this Yiren had frozen his brain with the old man in the courtyard in the afternoon, and hurriedly asked Li Yan if he should quickly find a Lang Zhong for Mike to see a doctor, Li Yan smiled and said no.

Mike's problem doesn't need to be seen by Lang Zhong, he can see it himself, he can be sure that Mike is now hating why he is so spineless, and he sold himself for a sword.

Hearing this, the housekeeper suddenly realized, an old face was full of pleats, and he gave a thumbs up and praised again and again that his own master was powerful, and he leveled the Yiguo from the West without a single soldier.

Li Yan was happy, and casually asked the housekeeper to go to the tent to withdraw two hundred taels of silver as a reward for this month.

The butler was even happier and smiled so much that his face was full of chrysanthemums.

Seeing this, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh, why are there such unpromising guys around him? Can't there be a few people in their right minds?

was talking to the housekeeper, when suddenly the porter came to report that a eunuch in the palace wanted to see him, saying that he had brought a message to the palace representative.

Hearing this, Li Yan put a smile on his face, it seems that Emperor Hongzhi has made a choice.

……

…………

Sure enough, Emperor Hongzhi wanted to summon him, and he made a big scene.

Emperor Hongzhi actually asked Li Yan to go to Taimiao!

What is the place of Taimiao, although Li Yan has not been there, but he has never eaten pork and seen pigs running, from the TV series in his previous life, Li Yan learned that Taimiao is the place where the old Zhu family sacrifices their ancestors, and it can be said that it is the top priority of the old Zhu family.

Of course, it is certain that scolding Zhu Houzhao in the Taimiao will definitely not end well for your ancestors, and Ling Chi's execution is light.

People who can come to this place, no matter what they do, will regard it as a privilege in their lives, and belong to the kind of people who have a special face when they tell others.

But today, Emperor Hongzhi chose to summon himself in such an important place.

When he came to the Taimiao, Li Yan glanced around, but did not see Zhu Houzhao, and thought that it may be because Zhu Houzhao was still young, and Emperor Hongzhi did not let Zhu Houzhao come here.

……

…………

The royal temple, the ministers below, the Hongzhi Emperor is above, holding three incense sticks and lighting them, and after praying, they respectfully insert them in the incense burner.

The walls of soldiers are lined up all around, this is only visible on the surface, and the Ouchi guards lurking in the dark don't know how many there are, Emperor Hongzhi went out, in order to ensure Hongzhi's personal safety, I don't know how much effort it takes, but these are normal things in everyone's eyes.

After burning incense to worship his ancestors, Emperor Hongzhi slowly turned around and waved his hand at Li Yan.

"Li Yan, today I have allowed you to enter my royal temple to offer incense, do you know what a great honor this is?" Emperor Hongzhi said in a deep voice.

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen." Li Yan knelt down and bowed.

Today's Emperor Hongzhi's heavy gift is not unimportant, and letting an outsider sacrifice to his ancestors is an unprecedented thing for the ministers of the court.

Li Yan knows this very well, so naturally Xie Hongzhi is so important.

"Yes." Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

Seeing this, Li Yan took the sacrificial incense from a small eunuch beside him, lit it on the candle, and bowed step by step, and solemnly inserted it into the incense burner under the gaze of everyone.

As soon as the incense was inserted, before it was tightly inserted, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly spoke.

"Li Yan, do you know why I asked you to come here today?"

Emperor Hongji's voice was serious.

"The minister knows that it is salt for the people of the Ming Dynasty."

Li Yan replied in a deep voice.

"In that case, you know my intentions?"

Hearing this, Li Yan's body shook, as if he had made some decision, and inserted the incense in his hand to the end.

"The minister knows that His Majesty promised the minister to be the only supplier of salt in the Ming Dynasty, and the minister hereby swears that I Li Yisheng is a Ming person, and I am a Ming ghost in death, and this life will live up to the Ming! The proceeds of salt shall be kept by the ministers for two cents and handed over to the treasury for eight cents! ”

Li Yan's words are not groundless, what will be the salt supply of the entire Ming Dynasty? I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a big demand, so how much profit will Li Yan, as the first supplier of Daming, make a year? It is the biggest of the best.

Before, Li Yan promised that Hongzhi could hand over seventy percent to the national treasury, and now Li Yan promised to hand over eighty percent, even so, the remaining two percent is an astronomical number that can't be bigger, as for the amount of astronomy and astronomy, Li Yan is not so clear.

Pifu is not guilty, Huaibi is guilty, Li Yan knows this very well, and now Hongzhi promised that he could give himself seventy percent, God knows if there will be any changes in the future, and Zhao Shun has told himself before that Emperor Hongzhi has begun to vomit blood, and in history, Emperor Hongzhi died of illness this year.

Li Yi loves money, but Li Yan cherishes his life even more, so, for the sake of safety, Li Yan turned the previous seventy percent into eighty percent, so that he could not only stabilize Emperor Hongzhi, but also appease the ministers, so that they would not be too jealous of themselves.

What's more, Li Yan made an oath here first, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty are still very interested in the oath, and with this oath today, it is equivalent to putting a band-aid in everyone's hearts and giving everyone a peace of mind pill.

As soon as Li Yan's words came out, Hongzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, probably because of the excitement, his face was full of joy and red, and he even grabbed Li Yan's hands because of the excitement.

I saw Emperor Hongzhi pull Li Yan slowly to the officials, raised Li Yan's hand, raised his arms and shouted. "I declare that Li Yan has made meritorious contributions to salt production, and he is a meritorious hero of the Ming Dynasty for me!"

Suddenly, the ministers knelt down and shouted. "The people of the Ming Dynasty can get the taste of salt, which is really the budding shade of Your Majesty, and it is the luck of the Ming Dynasty and the luck of the world. Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Seeing this, Emperor Hongji nodded with satisfaction, obviously satisfied with everyone's performance.

"Taimiao sacrifice! Finished! At the signal of Emperor Hongzhi, the ceremonial eunuch of the day shouted.
