I didn't expect Shangguan Haitang's efficiency to be so fast.

What is commanded in the evening can be done early the next morning.

Fang Xiu looked at her and said sincerely:

"Good work."

Shangguan Haitang arched his hand and said: "It is Begonia's duty to do everything for the master, not to mention hard work!" ”

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was inexplicably moved, but he didn't say anything more.

He reached out and took one of the bamboo tubes and poured the contents onto the palm of his hand.

"White as snow, crystal clear, good!"

Look at the refined salt that has been prepared.

Fang Xiu's eyes lit up.

I dipped my finger a little and licked it.

The taste is very pure, without a hint of bitterness!

It's the best refined salt!

Fang Xiu nodded with satisfaction, and then reached out to take the other bamboo tube.

It was concocted in the same way and tasted it with the tip of the tongue.

Plenty of flavor.

In one word, it is - fresh!

You don't have to think about it to know that in this era of lack of condiments, the advent of refined salt and monosodium glutamate will definitely cause a sensation and sell well!

Fang Xiu looked at the two bamboo tubes, a smile appeared on his face, and he ordered: "This prime minister will allocate you another hundred thousand taels of silver to build a few workshops in the suburbs to produce salt and monosodium glutamate." ”

"There are also perfumes and soaps, and I should also pay attention to them and try to make a batch in these two days."

Salt, monosodium glutamate, perfume, soap.

They are all things that can be used in daily life, and if you can open up a market, it won't take long to earn a lot of money.

Of course.

For the time being, ordinary people do not have the means to consume these.

It is mainly sold to dignitaries.

Shangguan Haitang arched his hand and said, "Yes, master!" ”

Fang Xiu nodded:

"Well, let's go down if there's nothing to do."

Shangguan Haitang saluted and said: "Retire from your humble position!" ”

With that, turn around and leave.

Fang Xiu stood in place, looking at her back, and began to look forward to it in his heart.

I don't know before I turned my face with Wu Guo.

Can these things earn enough for 10 million taels of silver?

............

Three days later.

The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Empress Wu Mingkong sat on the dragon chair, looking at the music in front of her, her fair face showing anger.

"In just half a year, there have been five peasant riots in Shuzhou, Yongzhou, and Qingzhou!"

"The drought in Qingzhou, the people have no food to eat, and it is understandable to vent their anger on the government."

"Shuzhou and Yongzhou have good weather and sufficient food, but riots have occurred one after another, why!"

Wu Mingkong looked at the chapter, only to feel that a nameless fire rose in his chest, and he couldn't spit it out, and he couldn't swallow it.

Before he ascended the throne.

She thought that as long as she was diligent in political affairs, she would definitely make the Daqian Empire change with each passing day and prosper day by day.

But the reality is.

After sitting in this position for a long time, she felt more and more.

His own diligence is meaningless at all!

Most of the time, no matter how hard you try, you can't find a solution to the problems raised by the cantata.

Even if a solution is found, it will not achieve the desired effect after implementation.

Effort, but no reward.

It's just devastating!

"Obviously, I have compressed the rest time to the extreme!"

"Even when I was eating, I was reviewing the recitals."

"Why did it end up like this?"

The more Wu Mingkong thought about it, the more he felt lost.

The mood was extremely low.

She put down the piece in her hand, only to feel a strong sense of powerlessness rise up and down her body, and her whole person was very tired.

Somehow.

At this time, Fang Xiu's figure once again appeared in her mind.

"Hasn't that traitor been thinking about seeking power and usurping the throne, I might as well give him this position directly!"

"Let him also understand my difficulties!"

"Let's see if he will say cool words in the future!"

This thought only appeared for a moment, and she immediately dispelled it.

"Can't think so!"

"Cheer up, don't let that traitor see the joke!"

Wu Mingkong took a deep breath and patted his cheek, trying to cheer himself up.

After resting for a while, he picked up the piece again and began to read it.

In the face of the riot, all she could do was ask the local government to recruit militia to quell the rebellion.

After all.

Most of the troops of the Great Cadres were deployed at the border passes to guard against the neighboring Zhou, Wu, and Yan kingdoms.

There was no way to mobilize troops to counterinsurgency.

I only hope that this riot will be nipped in the bud like the previous ones, and that it will not cause too many consequences.

The empress thought so in her heart.

This time.

A crisp voice suddenly sounded.

"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner."

The empress's personal maid, Lin Wan'er, walked over with a bowl of white porridge.

"It's noon so soon."

The empress was in a trance and said, "Put it here." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lin Wan'er put the white porridge in front of the empress, looked at the empress with expectant eyes, and said softly: "Your Majesty, today's white porridge is different from the past, do you want to taste it first." ”

The empress wanted to wait for the review of the recital to finish before eating, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Lin Wan'er's expectant eyes, and she couldn't bear to refuse.

At the same time, I was a little curious.

"It's just white porridge, how can it taste different from the past?"

With this curiosity.

The empress picked up the spoon and tasted it.

When the white porridge is entered, the sweet taste spreads to the taste buds instantly.

What follows is a never-before-tasted taste that is difficult to describe in words.

Just think it's delicious!

The empress's eyes lit up suddenly, and she sighed:

"It's much sweeter than ever."

After speaking, he picked up the spoon again and dug a spoonful.

One bite, two bites, three bites.

After a while, half a bowl of white porridge unknowingly entered the empress's stomach.

Side.

When Lin Wan'er saw this scene, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Thanks to the sugar and monosodium glutamate sent by Fang Xiang.

Otherwise, Your Majesty doesn't know when you will be able to have a good meal.

To know.

It's been a long time since she's seen His Majesty have such a good appetite.

A moment later.

A bowl of white porridge was wiped out by the empress.

She put down the spoon, and there was something unfinished.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, do you want to let the imperial dining room boil another bowl?" ”

The empress shook her head and said, "I've eaten enough today, and I can't eat another bowl." ”

Lin Wan'er keenly captured the details in her words.

Can't eat.

Instead of not wanting to eat.

In other words, His Majesty actually still wants to eat, but his stomach doesn't allow it.

A smile bloomed between her eyebrows, and she said, "Then wait for an hour, and the slave will give instructions again." ”

When Wu Mingkong heard this, he didn't open his mouth to stop him, but looked at Lin Wan'er and asked curiously:

"I see that today's white porridge is no different from the past, why does it taste so different?"

She couldn't figure it out.

White porridge only.

It's nothing more than rice and water, and you can't make flowers.

Why is it different today than it was in the past?

When Lin Wan'er heard this question, a smile curled up on the corner of her mouth, and she replied:

"Back to Your Majesty's words, it's because the imperial dining room added two new seasonings to the white porridge today, called sugar and monosodium glutamate!"
