In the morning, the emperor held his face with his hands and listened boredly to the ministers' reports.

During this period, there were no major incidents in the DPRK and China, and they were all trivial matters.

The Emperor snorted blatantly as he listened.

The ministers all closed their mouths when they saw this scene and did not dare to speak again.

Sun Kui glanced at the ministers below, and saw that they seemed to have nothing to play, so he hesitated in his heart, and immediately walked in front of the emperor and whispered to the emperor. It was several screams in a row that woke up the drowsy emperor.

The Emperor yawned without a figurative expression, then raised his hands and stretched his waist.

"Are you all right?"

The ministers did not speak.

"Now that you're all right, it's my turn."

Hearing the emperor say this, the ministers below suddenly had an ominous premonition. They intuitively felt that the emperor was going to do something, and it was not small.

It's coming to an end soon, and the emperor is going to do something. Does the emperor not want them to have a stable year?

Thinking of the emperor's ability to make heaven and earth, the civil and military officials only felt a headache. This is about to be the New Year, so the emperor can't stop it.

The Emperor looked at the ministers below with a smile on their faces, "What kind of expression do you have, as if I want to do something to you?" ”

The ministers had a smile on their faces, but they scolded the emperor in their hearts.

What kind of character are you, Your Majesty, don't you have a little bit in your heart? Are you fooling us less?

There is an emperor who loves to play tricks on them, they are really pitiful.

"Okay, I won't eat you again, what are you afraid of."

The following civil and military officials: the ministers would rather be eaten by you than tossed by you.

The emperor's torture skills were very profound, and every minister below suffered greatly from it.

The emperor put his hands in his sleeves, walked slowly to the front, and then looked at the ministers below with a smile: "I want to give each of you a good thing today. ”

Good stuff?

What's good?

Seeing the emperor's smiling appearance, the ministers only felt that he was smiling very ill-willedly, and their scalps became numb in an instant.

The good thing that the emperor said is definitely not a good thing.

Seeing that the ministers were wary one by one, the emperor said angrily: "Why, you don't believe me? ”

Dasi Nong suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he asked with some excitement: "Your Majesty, is the good thing new salt?" ”

New salt?

Is new salt new salt?

When the other ministers heard the word "new salt", they all looked at Dasi Nong curiously. If it weren't for the court, they would immediately surround and ask Dasi Nong what new salt was.

The emperor pointed to Da Si Nong and said with a smile: "Da Si Nong reacted very quickly, that's right, it's new salt." ”

Da Sinong rubbed his hands excitedly, and asked with an expectant face: "Your Majesty, you just said that you want to send new salt to your ministers, may I ask the emperor how much you want to send?" ”

The new salt was made by His Royal Highness the King of Han?

His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not have any fluctuations on his face, but his heart was full of waves.

The tenth brother made a new salt? Why didn't you listen to the tenth brother?

His Royal Highness King Wei was also shocked in his heart, the tenth brother made new salt, why didn't he hear about it at all?

The emperor was satisfied to see the expectant expressions of the ministers below, "Do you Aiqing really want to know what the new salt is?" ”

The acting king said, "Father, don't hang our appetites. ”

"Okay, I won't hang you." The emperor said with a smile on his face, "Some time ago, the king of Han said that he had made new salt in the swamp mansion, and this new salt was as crystal clear as snowflakes, and the taste was very good, without a trace of bitterness. ”

When the civil and military officials below heard this, they all showed surprised expressions.

"The new salt made by King Han is better than all salt, and that's not the most important thing."

The following ministers: what, this is not the most important, then what is the most important?

Looking at the curious and anxious looks of the officials, the emperor said unhurriedly: "The most important thing is that the output of new salt is very large, and it doesn't take too much time. In a day or two, hundreds of catties of new salt can be made. ”

Hiss!!!

The ministers below gasped in shock at the emperor's last words.

What did they hear, a day or two can make hundreds of pounds of new salt, this ...... How can it be?!

The emperor is joking.

The officials thought of the emperor's bad temperament and felt that the emperor must be playing tricks on them again.

"You don't believe me?"

The ministers did not speak, but the words "disbelief" were written clearly on their faces.

"When I received the excerpt from King Han, I didn't believe what he said, but in fact he really made new salt, and he did a lot of it." The emperor said with a smug face, "Yesterday, I received two hundred catties of new salt sent back to Beijing by the King of Han. ”

The civil and military officials were very curious about what the new salt in the emperor's mouth was, but they did not dare to urge the emperor to take out the new salt and show it to them.

"Sun Kui, you go and bring the new salt and let them open their eyes."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Sun Kui withdrew. Not long after, he walked in with a few little eunuchs. They all had a bowl in their hands, and the bowl contained new salt.

The emperor directly asked Sun Kui and them to bring the new salt to the ministers, let them take a good look at it, and let them taste it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can taste it, the taste will never disappoint you."

Sun Kui was sent to the acting king first. The king looked down and found that the salt in the bowl was crystal clear, and it really looked like snowflakes.

The ministers standing behind the acting king, some stretched their necks, some stood on tiptoe, and some leaned over and stared at the salt in Sun Kui's bowl.

There is such a clear salt?!

Dai Wang picked up a few grains of salt and put them in his mouth and tasted them, and the salty taste immediately spread from the tip of his tongue to the whole mouth. He also deliberately smashed his mouth, and did not taste anything other than saltiness, such as bitterness. All the while, the salt they ate was somewhat bitter.

Some of the ministers had already tasted the new salt, and their expressions were very shocked, and they couldn't believe that the salt they had just eaten did not have a trace of bitterness.

When it was the turn of the King of Chu and the King of Wei, the two tasted very seriously. Sure enough, the taste was very good, without a hint of bitterness.

Regarding Zhao Yao's new salt, the kings of Chu and Wei were not surprised at all. Still, they were shocked in their hearts. They guessed that the tenth brother would make something new when he went to Lingnan, but they didn't expect the tenth brother to make new salt.

The tenth brother really surprises them every time!

After the ministers tasted it, they were amazed at the deliciousness of the new salt.

After all the ministers had tasted the new salt, the Emperor continued: "I have not lied to you. ”

The acting king asked with a look of disbelief: "Father, is this new salt really made by the tenth brother?" "The tenth brother is so capable of making new salt!

"Well, he made it." The emperor smiled, "You don't know his ability to make things. ”

Although the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knew that His Royal Highness the King of Han was very talented in making things, they did not expect that His Royal Highness the King of Han would also make new salt, and the new salt tasted so good!

Da Si Nong cheekily asked, "Your Majesty, how much new salt do you wait for your ministers?" ”

When the other ministers heard Da Si Nong's question, they all gave him a thumbs up in their hearts.

That's a good question!

"One person, one or two." The Emperor smiled and said, "I'm generous." ”

One talent and one or two new salts, where is generous?

The ministers did not dare to say that the emperor was stingy, and they could only pin their hopes on the thick-skinned Dasi Nong.

Da Si Nong really didn't disappoint them: "Your Majesty, is there a little less salt for one person or two?" ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Dasi Nong: "Then how much do you want?" ”

Da Si Nong said without hesitation: "One catty, one catty per person." ”

Other Ministers: Dasi Nong, how dare you speak! Well done, though!

The emperor sneered twice: "Hehe, I might as well directly give you all the two hundred catties of new salt sent by King Han." ”

Da Si Nong smiled embarrassedly: "How embarrassing is this. ”

The emperor was laughed at by Da Si Nong's brazenness: "Da Si Nong, why didn't I find out that you are so shameless now, even more shameless than me." ”

Da Si Nong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The minister is not as good as you." ”

The emperor glared at Dasi Nong and scolded, "Get out." The king of Han will send back two hundred catties of new salt, and I will give you one or two pounds, which is already very generous, and one pound per person will make your spring and autumn dreams. ”

Only the cheeky Dasi Nong dared to discuss with the emperor: "Your Majesty, one catty is not good, half a catty is not good?" ”

"Besides, I won't give you a tael."

Da Si Nong resolutely closed his mouth and did not dare to say another word.

"One person, one or two, when we go to the court, you will find Sun Kuiling."

He Xiang took the lead in thanking the emperor: "Thank you, Emperor." ”

Only then did the other ministers react and hurriedly thanked Lord Longen.

"By the way, King Han has made other things, and he will send some to the capital in a while."

As soon as they heard that King Han had done something else, the faces of the ministers lit up.

They can now see that the things made by His Royal Highness King Han are all good things. His Royal Highness King Han went to Lingnan, and first made something as good as new salt, so other things would definitely not be worse than new salt.

Da Si Nong hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what good things has His Royal Highness the King of Han done?" ”

"The glass I told you about before, King Han made it."

Glass?

What is this?

"I will give you some."

Da Si Nong was afraid that the emperor would regret it, so he hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Although I don't know what the glass made by His Royal Highness King Han is, and I don't know if they will be rewarded, maybe the emperor will reward them.

"Emperor Xie!"

"Alright, let's retreat."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After the emperor left, the ministers immediately looked at Sun Kui.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please move outside the hall."

"I'm sorry to trouble my grandfather."

The ministers were very conscious, and lined up one by one, waiting for Sun Kui to distribute new salt.

Although there are only one or two new salts, these two new salts can make many dishes. (End of chapter)
