Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 41

the next morning.

As soon as Zhu Xuan got up, he saw Xu Xingzu bringing what he wanted.

"Thank you, Grandpa Xu!"

He still said a few words of thanks very sensibly, and after sending Xu Xingzu away, he asked Hou Xian to go to the main hall and tell Fang Xiaoru that he wanted to ask for leave.

Fang Xiaoru didn't say anything and directly agreed.

When Hou Xian came back, Zhu Xuan prepared everything, got a pot, and taught Hou Xian everything he knew.

"Little grandson of the emperor, what do you want to do with this slave?" Hou Xian asked in confusion.

Zhu Xuan said: "From now on, this method of making salt will be yours. You must remember that it is the person who taught you kung fu. He taught you the method and it has nothing to do with me. If you use it well, it is a great achievement. It’s good for the old father and the children in your family.”

When Hou Xian heard this, he was even more confused: "If it is a great merit, why should the little emperor give it to me?"

"Because I'm inconvenient."

Zhu Xuan continued to warn: "Don't talk nonsense about what happened today, okay?"

Hou Xian thought for a while and understood what inconvenience meant.

A four-year-old child knows a lot of special things, which seems strange.

Hou Xian has been with Zhu Xuan for four years. Knowing that Zhu Xuan is not as simple as a child, and receiving instructions, he hid all the secrets in his heart, and from now on he will use his own method of making salt.

The little emperor's grandson was so kind to him and should be loyal, and he couldn't forget it.

"You follow the method I taught and try it again. I will watch from the side."

Seeing that Zhu Xuan was almost ready, he asked Hou Xian to start trying to make salt.

This was the first time Hou Xian tried. After thinking for a while, he followed the method taught by Zhu Xuan. However, he failed directly the first time. He said distressedly: "Little emperor, this servant is stupid."

"It's okay, continue."

Zhu Xuan didn't care. Xu Xingzu brought more raw materials anyway.

Even if it fails ten more times, it will still be enough.

Hou Xian was inspired and continued to do it until the third time. He sprinkled a kind of brine into the iron pot. After waiting for a long time, snow-white salt flowers appeared in the pot.

The tiny crystals are very beautiful, white and crystal clear.

"It's done!"

Seeing that it was almost cooked, Zhu Xuan asked Hou Xian to pour it into a bowl.

Hou Xian looked at the slender, well-defined salt. He couldn't help but twist some, put it in his mouth and tasted it. He was surprised: "Are these really salt?"

He thought again about the process of making salt just now.

What needs to be done is very simple.

This is how the salt comes out!
  I can't believe it was made by myself.

Hou Xian knew that the salt affairs were to be reformed. If these salts were sent to His Majesty, the salt production method was simple and fast, and the produced salt was refined salt, which would definitely achieve great success.

Salt reform can also be implemented smoothly.

The little emperor's grandson is so amazing and knows so much!

"Not bad!"

Zhu Xuan also tasted it and said with satisfaction: "Put these salts first. You can turn the remaining ingredients into salt and take them to see your second brother."

"Ok!"

After Hou Xian finished speaking, he continued working.

After succeeding once, his movements became much more proficient and he was very motivated.

Soon, a large basin of refined salt appeared in front of me.

Before I knew it, it was noon.

Zhu Xuan didn't go to the main hall today, so Xu Xingzu brought lunch to the small courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Hou Xian tossing something, and he went over to take a look curiously.

What the hell!

Seeing the large plate of refined salt, Xu Xingzu's eyes widened and he asked in shock: "Little grandson, is this salt?"

Based on what Zhu Xuan asked him to prepare yesterday, and combined with the current hot spots in the court, he could probably guess that the little emperor wanted to make salt. He just sent the things over in the morning, and there was a large basin of salt at noon.

so fast!
  Look at the salt again. It's snow-white, slender, and crystal clear. It's countless times better than the coarse salt they usually use.

Is this really salt?
  "Yes!" Zhu Xuan raised his head and said with a smile: "Grandpa Xu is here, what do you think of these salts?"

Xu Xingzu came to his senses and asked in shock: "Can I have a taste?"

"can!"

Zhu Xuan nodded slightly.

Xu Xingzu picked up some salt with his fingers, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

salty!
  There is nothing else but this taste.

The salt is very pure. This is the best salt. It not only tastes good, but also looks good. Xu Xingzu has been cooking for decades and has seen countless salts, but he has never seen such good salt.

Xu Xingzu was shocked and said: "How did the little emperor make these salts?"

Zhu Xuan has been living in the deep palace. He is still young and does not have much experience. Normally, it is impossible to do this.

"Master Xu, this slave did this."

Hou Xian was very sensible and said very cooperatively: "Before I entered the palace, I learned the method of making salt from an old man. I didn't know that salt would be of such great use to the Ming Dynasty. It was only after I learned that His Majesty wanted to reform the salt affairs that I learned about it. Emperor Sun proposed and wanted to give it a try."

"It's you?"

After hearing the explanation, Xu Xingzu thought it was quite reasonable and didn't think too much about it.

If it were Zhu Xuan, he would definitely not be able to do this.

If it were Hou Xian, it would be possible. After all, there are people among the people.

Zhu Xuan was very satisfied with Hou Xian's performance and said, "Yes, Grandpa Xu, do you think these salts are delicious?"

"good to eat!"

Xu Xingzu had never tasted such good salt. He looked at the large basin and asked thoughtfully: "Little emperor, can you give me some? I will take it back and cook something delicious for you."

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "Of course, it's enough for Grandpa Xu to leave a bowl for me, and I will take it to my second brother."

"Thank you, little grandson!"

Xu Xingzu laughed and was not polite.

He asked people to put the food in the house, and left a bowl of salt for Zhu Xuan, and took it away happily.

"Little grandson, we made so much salt, and he uses it for cooking?"

Hou Xian asked curiously.

Zhu Xuan shook his head slightly and said: "Grandpa Xu took it away, and he will definitely give it to Grandpa Huang first, and then use it for cooking. I want to let Grandpa Huang know first that it was you, Hou Xian, who made the salt, and then take it to my second brother. "

"The little emperor knows so much."

Although Hou Xian didn't know what Zhu Xuan's intention was, he admired him very much.

"Stop flattering."

Zhu Xuan trotted into the house and said, "Let's eat together!"

He wanted to give Hou Xian some small favors, and then he had to rely on Hou Xian to help him hide it.

"The slaves dare not!"

"You're hungry too, come here and get some food to eat. In my place, sometimes you don't need to be too polite to me."

"Thank you, little grandson!"

Hou Xian was so moved that he almost cried.

As a slave, he could only regain some sense of being a human being by being by Zhu Xuan's side.

"Brother, I'm here!"

At this moment, Zhu Yunxi entered the palace and came here.

Zhu Xuan put down his bowls and chopsticks, ran out and said, "Second brother, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten. I've prepared all the things you asked me to prepare. When will we start?"

"Then tomorrow, Hou Xian, as the second brother, you will explain how to make salt."

Zhu Xuan must blame all the methods of making salt on Hou Xian. He must first give Zhu Yunxi a preconceived impression.

It made him feel that they were all Hou Xian's.
