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

Chapter 42 Prepare to cheat
  Just as Zhu Xuan said, Xu Xingzu got the salt and took it to Zhu Yuanzhang first.

Seeing the fruits of his little good grandson's labor, Zhu Yuanzhang widened his eyes in disbelief and asked, "Did you really get this from your good grandson?"

These salts are white and crystal clear, and are ten times more beautiful than the ones they usually use.

It's a bit strange that the little sweet grandson actually knows how to make salt. In Zhu Yuanzhang's impression, he has never been exposed to anything like this. Where did he learn this?

"Yes!"

Xu Xingzu nodded slightly and explained: "But the salt was not made by the little emperor's grandson, but by the eunuch Hou Xian. He said he learned it from an old man. He knew that his majesty wanted to reform the salt affairs, so he told the little emperor's grandson."

This explanation seems reasonable.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "How fast is the production of these salts? Can they be mass-produced?"

"I don't know this."

Xu Xingzu shook his head slightly.

He was a little excited when he saw Yan just now. He forgot to ask anything else, and then brought him to see Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a long time, then waved his hand and said: "You should keep these salt matters a secret first and don't spread them out. We would like to see what else the good grandson can do."

"Yes!"

Xu Xingzu said.

When he retreated, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the salt and thought that if these things were feasible, the darling grandson would have made a meritorious service again.

The salt affairs of the Ming Dynasty are about to be reformed.

"Let's wait and see what surprises our good grandson can bring."

Zhu Yuanzhang was looking forward to it.

-

the next day.

Zhu Xuan did not leave the palace immediately, but walked around the East Palace first.

"Little brother!"

In the entire East Palace, the only person who didn't dislike Zhu Xuan was the naughty boy Zhu Yunzhen.

Zhu Xuan came here specifically to find Zhu Yunzhen. When he saw him coming, he smiled and said, "Third brother, I'm here to find you."

"What's the matter, little brother?"

Zhu Yunxuan asked, and said proudly: "No matter what, as long as there is a need for me, I can just ask."

In the past two years, he had had so many lunches with Zhu Xuan, and his favorability had already been built up.

This naughty kid really regards Zhu Xuan as his brother.

"It's nothing, I just want to take Third Brother out of the palace for a walk." Zhu Xuan said.

"Can my little brother still leave the palace?"

Zhu Yunzhen asked in surprise.

He usually has a lot of restrictions. He has to go to school all the time during normal hours, and there is basically no possibility of leaving the palace. At this time, he was naturally surprised when he heard Zhu Xuan's words.

"sure!"

"No, I have to go to school later."

"I have already asked for leave. The third brother is the grandson of the emperor. If I don't go to the main hall for a day and a half, Mr. Fang won't dare to say anything. At most, he will be punished for copying. It's worth it in exchange for copying to leave the palace once."

"My little brother is right, let's leave now."

In Zhu Yunzhen's mind, the temptation to leave the palace is still greater.

He couldn't leave the palace several times a year. Anyway, there was no danger in going out with his younger brother, so he just did what he said and simply skipped class.

The two of them took Hou Xian with them and ran out of the palace with a few Jin Yiwei people protecting them.

"Brother, where are you going to take me?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.

"Go meet the second brother!" Zhu Xuan said, "The second brother can live outside the palace. We haven't been to his home yet."

Zhu Yunzhen was extremely envious of being able to live outside the palace.

After going out, you don't have to be controlled by Mrs. Lu, and you don't have to look at Zhu Yunwen's face. You can do whatever you want.

"I've long wanted to play with my second brother."

Zhu Yunzhen said excitedly. Soon they arrived outside Zhu Yunxi's home.

"Little brother, and... third brother, why are you here too?"

Zhu Yunxi also asked for leave today and had been waiting outside the door early in the morning. When he saw Zhu Yunxi, his expression froze slightly. Today's salt production was their top secret. How could Lu's son steal it?

He looked at Zhu Xuan in confusion.

Zhu Yunzhen said happily: "It was my younger brother who said he wanted to take me out and play with my second brother."

Zhu Yunxi was even more puzzled. He looked at Zhu Xuan again, wondering if his younger brother was threatened in some way? But with a group of royal guards following him, who dares to threaten the younger brother?
  Zhu Xuan knew his doubts, and it was hard to explain now. He could only say: "I brought the third brother out specially. Second brother, let's go in."

Zhu Yunxi hesitated for a moment and did not pursue the question for the time being.

In his feeling, the younger brother had a lot of ideas and was not like an ordinary child. He might want to trick Zhu Yunzhen through Zhu Yunzhen, so he agreed to let them in.

When they came to this palace, Zhu Yunxi first took them around and said with a smile: "The third brother and the younger brother can often come to play with me when they are free. I will definitely welcome them."

"Thank you brother!"

Of course Zhu Yunxuan wanted to leave the palace. He was excited but said helplessly: "But I can't leave the palace. I can come out today, but I still stay with my little brother. Grandpa Huang is so kind to me."

Even he felt sour.

Grandpa Huang is very partial and only treats his younger brother well.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi asked someone to bring some pastries. After they were satisfied, Zhu Xuan asked, "Second brother, are you ready?"

"It's all ready. Come with me."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhu Yunxi and asked with his eyes, can he really take Zhu Yunxi to make salt?

Zhu Xuan could understand what he meant and nodded slightly to indicate that it was okay.

In this case, they came to the backyard together.

"Second brother, little brother, what are you going to do?"

Zhu Yunzhen asked curiously.

Zhu Xuan said: "Third brother will know later."

Yesterday evening, Zhu Yunxi received guidance from Hou Xian and knew what should be prepared for making salt. At this time, everything was placed in the backyard.

Zhu Yunzhen was very curious about these things. He looked around and waited for them to continue.

Hou Xian did not hide anything, he started directly in front of Zhu Yunxu, and explained in detail how to make salt.

After a while, snow-white salt appeared in the iron pot.

"It's amazing!"

Zhu Yunxuan was deeply interested in some new things and asked in surprise: "How come when you pour that water in, salt comes out?"

In his opinion, it was quite interesting.

Zhu Xuan asked deliberately: "Third brother, do you want to give it a try?"

"Okay!"

Zhu Yunxuan was eager to try.

Zhu Xuan did not hesitate and directly asked Hou Xian to guide Zhu Yunxian in making salt. He explained all the processes in detail, and also explained all the tools such as brine to him to ensure that Zhu Yunxian could remember it.

"Brother, why is this?" Zhu Yunxi asked puzzledly.

"I'll explain it to my second brother later."

Zhu Xuan shook his head and continued to look at Zhu Yunzhen.

After they struggled for a while, Zhu Yunxuan cheered: "It's done, it's really done, this is salt!"

"Third brother is so awesome!"

Zhu Xuan added: "These salts will taste particularly good when used for cooking. Third brother, would you like to take some back and give them to the people in the imperial kitchen to try?"

"really?"

Zhu Yunxuan was also a greedy kid. When he heard that delicious food could be made, he quickly asked someone to bring a cloth bag and filled a small bag. He felt that it was not enough, so he made more salt by himself.

"Three imperial grandsons, people from the East Palace are here."

At this time, a servant came over and said.
