Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 12 The sky is the same as the earth
Beijing.

Prime Minister.

"Prime Minister, have you heard about what happened yesterday?" Hu Weiyong rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a hurry, only to find that Li Shanchang was writing leisurely and contentedly. He waited for a while, and finally couldn't help but said with a worried look on his face.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reprimanded Lan Yu. This matter has spread throughout the capital. I am not deaf." Li Shanchang had a smile on his face and kept moving his hands.

"The matter itself is not the key, the key is the Yangzhou Snowflake Salt mentioned in His Highness the Prince's words." Hu Weiyong thought that his mentor did not know the key to the matter, so he quickly said. "Aren't we curious before about what the mysterious small bottle presented by His Royal Highness the Prince in the court hall that day was? Now we can confirm that it is Yangzhou Snowflake Salt."

As he spoke, Hu Weiyong took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and placed it in front of the desk.

"This is the Yangzhou snowflake salt that the student asked his subordinates to go to Yangzhou to buy yesterday."

Seeing that Li Shanchang was still writing and not paying attention to it, he opened the bottle cap and poured some snowflake salt into his hand, which was crystal clear.

"Look, Prime Minister!" Hu Weiyong said with excitement.

Hu Weiyong had never seen such beautiful salt before. When he saw it for the first time, he couldn't even believe that the shiny thing in front of him was the salt they eat every day.

At present, the most common salt on the market is coarse salt, which is about the size of rice grains. It is not purified enough, so it is yellow in color.

The cheaper ones are large pieces of yellow salt that have condensed together, which is bitter and unpalatable, and this is also the table salt that people can buy every day.

Of course, ministers like them can afford fine fine salt.

But this so-called fineness is only fine in the physical sense.

The essence has not changed.

Compared with Yangzhou Snowflake Salt, it is not an exaggeration to say that the sky is the same as the earth.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Hu Weiyong was so excited.

When Li Shanchang saw that Hu Weiyong's hand was almost directly in front of his eyes, he said angrily: "I saw it, I'm not blind!"

At this time, Hu Weiyong realized that he seemed to be too excited just now, and he retracted his hand somewhat.

Here, Li Shanchang finally finished writing this. He put down the pen in his hand and said, "You have just the right time to try the steamed seabass I asked the cook to make for lunch."

Where is this going?!

I was just chatting with you about family and country affairs, why did I suddenly jump to eating again?

Isn’t Xiangguo old?

Although Hu Weiyong had opinions in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face. He cupped his hands and smiled.

"Then the student is bothering the Prime Minister. The food that can make the Prime Minister miss you must be the delicious food in the world."

In fact, his mind was not on steamed sea bass at all at the moment.

My mind has already flown thousands of miles away, thinking about how to get a share of the salt industry competition.

Soon, a servant from the Prime Minister's Mansion came up with a plate of steamed seabass.

It is delicious in color and fragrance.

The taste must be the same.

He is worthy of being the cook of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Before eating, Hu Weiyong gave the plate of steamed seabass a rainbow fart.

Finally, at Li Shanchang's signal, he took a bite and put it in his mouth.

He frowned.

It’s not that it tastes bad.

On the contrary, it tastes really good.

Steaming is the best test of the original flavor of the ingredients, and it also tests the seasonings.

This salty taste is so pure, without a trace of other miscellaneous flavors.

Coupled with the freshness of the sea bass itself.

This dish is out of this world!
Salty? !
Hu Weiyong suddenly remembered something, raised his head, and was greeted by Li Shanchang's meaningful smile.

"Weiyong, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Just like the steamed seabass in front of you, apart from the good seabass and Yangzhou snowflake salt, the steaming temperature is the most important. If the steaming time is too short, the fish will not be cooked. , if the time is too long, the fish will become too old.”

"You should take Lan Yu's example as a warning." "This money must be earned, but our people cannot come forward in person, or even see any official identity. Other than that, we must make money." , do business in a disciplined manner. Business matters must naturally be resolved in business."

The breeze blew in from the window, rattling the copybook on the desk.

Hu Weiyong subconsciously turned his head to look and opened his eyes wide.

"The sky will be flat and the earth will be level"

Is this the palace of the prime minister of a country?

With everyone running around telling each other.

Yangzhou snowflake salt spread throughout the capital among dignitaries and meritorious nobles.

At this time, countless pairs of red eyes looked towards Yangzhou City.

If Prince Zhu Biao hadn't scolded and punished Lan Yu, they would have rushed to Yangzhou City long ago and wanted to eat Yang Xian alive.

But even so, it still cannot stop their desire to make money.

What corrupt official doesn’t know that corruption is a capital crime before committing corruption?
Stupidly, let your subordinates and family members secretly take action.

The smarter ones went through many twists and turns and borrowed it from businessmen in Beijing.

In short, countless people flocked to Yangzhou.

They firmly believe that there will never be more production of fine snowflake salt of this quality.

Not only because these words came from the mouth of Prince Zhu Biao, but also because the quality of this high-quality snowflake salt was so good that they could not believe it.

According to Prince Zhu Biao, the reason for the existence of such high-quality salt is entirely because a salt mine of unparalleled quality was excavated in Yangzhou City. Not only was it large in quantity, but the salt contained almost no impurities.

Things are rare.

No matter how many salt mines there are, this fine snowflake salt mine will eventually be mined out.

Don’t look at the cheap price of salt in Yangzhou today.

But there will always be a day of rebound.

Therefore, every grain of salt hoarded now will become wasted silver in the future.

In the eyes of all the courtiers, Yang Xian was a waste of natural resources.

Even if it is second-class refined salt, it is still a rare product in their eyes.

And Yang Xian actually sold it to the people at a low price. Do you really think that the salt mine is inexhaustible?

But by luck, I found a snowflake salt mine.

Within a few days, many merchants purchasing refined salt suddenly appeared in Yangzhou City.

Almost every day, a large number of outsiders pour into Yangzhou.

More than a dozen salt shops in Yangzhou City are overcrowded.

Every day, a large number of businessmen exchange their large amounts of silver for Yangzhou snowflake salt.

As the number of people buying salt increased dramatically.

Due to the rush, the price of salt also began to rise.

There was no need for Yang Xian to intervene. These people came to fight themselves in order to buy more salt.

Under their shouts, the price went up several times.

Yangzhou government office.

Lu Mingyi walked in angrily, caught Yang Xian taking a leisurely nap, and said, "My Lord Yang, how can you still sleep at this time?"

A breeze blows.

At this moment, both heaven and earth were peaceful.

Just right for sleeping.
