Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 343; Promotion

The three of them suddenly realized that they had all eaten the food at Baizhenlou.

Speaking of which, Emperor Hongwen bought most of his daily meals from Baizhenlou in recent months.

Ever since he went to Baizhenlou to taste pork, he fell in love with the food at Baizhenlou, and returning to the palace to eat the dishes in the imperial dining room that had remained unchanged for decades really didn't appeal to him.

He had discussed with Wang De at the beginning why the food in Baizhen Building was even better than his Imperial Dining Room.

He even asked the top chefs in the Imperial Dining Room to study the dishes of Baizhenlou and let them do the same.

But the appearance is exactly the same every time it is made, but there are always some gaps when it is fed.

Only now did he realize that it was a problem with the seasoning.

At the moment, the three of Emperor Hongwen began to reminisce about the meals at Baizhenlou.

This aftertaste doesn't matter, I immediately noticed the difference.

Their usual meals, even those from the Imperial Dining Room, would have a vaguely bitter taste in them.

This is the taste brought by salt, even the top-grade green salt in Dongzhou will have this taste.

But there is no such taste in the food at Baizhenlou.

Because the smell is very mild, and they are used to it, they haven't been reminded by Lu Yaoyao, so they really haven't noticed it.

It's just that Baizhenlou used some method to neutralize the bitter taste brought by the green salt.

Now it seems that is not the case at all.

At this moment, Lu Yaoyao took out a paper bag from his cuff.

She had already thought about coming to the capital this time, so she prepared things early.

Seeing her take out something and spread it out, the three people beside her were taken aback.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jin, this is the salt made by my courtiers."

Her words made the eyes of the three people around them widen with disbelief.

Because the salt in the paper bag is pure white like snow particles, completely different from the light blue table salt they have every day.

If Lu Yaoyao hadn't said it was salt, they wouldn't have let the higher-ups think about it at all.

After all, they have never seen white salt.

"Is this really salt?"

"Don't you know if you try it?"

Hearing this, the King of Jin stretched out his hand first and was about to put it in his mouth. Emperor Hongwen opened his mouth and wanted to stop it, but he thought again, this is something brought by Lu Yaoyao, so there shouldn't be any what is the problem.

Then he stared at King Jin and brought the white salt into his mouth before he asked.

"It's really salt, and the taste is very pure, without any bitterness."

King Jin looked at Lu Yaoyao in shock and continued to ask, "How did you do it?"

At this time, Wang De also stretched out his hand to touch it, and was shocked immediately.

Finally, Emperor Hongwen tried it too, and stood up in shock, his eyes shining.

"How did you make this thing? Is it difficult? Can it be mass-produced? How much does it cost?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, my lord."

After Lu Yaoyao finished speaking, Emperor Hongwen hurriedly said, "How can you not be in a hurry? This is a good thing."

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao could only smile helplessly.

"The process of this thing is not difficult. If it is mass-produced, it still depends on the number of tools. Anyway, I usually make fifty or sixty catties in an hour, and I don't need many materials."

"Fifty or sixty catties an hour? How many tools?"

Emperor Hongwen blushed with excitement.

"A pot."

Lu Yaoyao raised a finger.

Now Emperor Hongwen was even more excited.

One pot can produce fifty or sixty catties in an hour, and the ten pots and one hundred pots are hundreds of thousands of catties, or an hour. If five or six hours are produced in a day, wouldn’t it be
Don't dare to think about it, don't dare to think about it at all.

"Okay, it's very good, County Lord Wanfu, you are really my lucky star in Dongzhou, and my lucky star."

"With your help, why don't you worry that Dongzhou can't grow?"

Emperor Hongwen was so excited that he walked back and forth in the imperial study, smashing his hands at each other, and after a while he turned his head to look at Wang De.

"Wang De drafted an order to promote Wanfu County Lord to Wanfu County Lord from now on."

Both Wang De and King Jin were taken aback for a moment, but soon Wang De responded quickly.

"Congratulations, Princess Wanfu."

"Your Majesty here"

Lu Yaoyao was also a little confused. Didn't it mean that it is a great honor for a commoner to be named the county head, and it has come to an end?
How did you suddenly become the princess now?

"Your contribution to Dongzhou, even if I give you a princess, I still feel that it is too little."

"If you hadn't been a daughter, I would have given you a duke directly."

When Jin Wang and Wang De heard this, they weighed it in their hearts and nodded in agreement.

Lu Yaoyao's contribution to Dongzhou was really great, especially the help to Emperor Hongwen, it was like a divine help.

They all knew that Emperor Hongwen's biggest heart trouble was the aristocratic family, and every time Lu Yaoyao made a move, it was aimed at the aristocratic family.

In the past, whenever there was a famine, the aristocratic family would frantically buy grain and make a fortune.

Emperor Hongwen was angry and hated, but he had to bow his head to find the family.

For an emperor, this is simply a disgrace.

However, the appearance of sweet potatoes and potatoes has greatly reduced the occurrence of such incidents.

Then there is papermaking and printing, the world is peaceful, and what the royal family needs most is scholars, and they are needed to help govern the country well.

In the past, the Dong family monopolized these two things, which is why the Dong family is the leader in the minds of scholars.

Now the royal family has a great opportunity to gain the support of scholars because of Lu Yaoyao.

In the future, Dongzhou will never bow down to the aristocratic family because of scholars.

Finally there is iron, and now salt.

This is one of the most important things in a country.

Iron can arm the country's army and bring security to the country, while salt can gather a lot of wealth, and the two are indispensable.

The things that Lu Yaoyao contributed are really nothing to a Duke.

"Brother Huang, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Emperor Hongwen, who was happy, turned his head to look at King Jin with a smile.

"Say what the emperor has to say directly."

"It's the salt business this time, can I let my younger brother participate in it?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen was taken aback, and the smile on his face froze.

"You also know that the younger brother didn't want to entrust the land at the beginning, and he has been idle at home for many years, and the money in the palace is quite tight."

"No, I still have to find the princess in the future, and I need money, so..."

Hearing this, the smile on Emperor Hongwen's face bloomed.

"Hahaha, it turns out that this is the case, you, you, you are finally getting better, not bad."

"I agree, but this business was proposed by Wanfu, how to allocate it depends on what she says."

"Thank you, brother."

King Jin happily stood up and bowed his hands.

Immediately, the two brothers turned their heads to look at Lu Yaoyao.

"Your Majesty, for this business, I plan to score [-] points."

"Oh? What is one two seven points?"
