The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 199 Are You Still Yongle? (one more)
That is salt production. People here only dry or boil seawater or salt lake water to make table salt. Unfortunately, Leng'an is not near the sea, and there are not many salt lakes in the country. The salt produced is far from enough for the population of Leng'an.

Su Tang has seen the map of Leng Anguo, and there should be salt mines in the southwest direction, but the underground salt mines have not been discovered yet, and salt mines need to be drilled to extract the salt mines from the bottom, and then made into table salt .

"Is there a salt mine in Leng'an?" His Majesty looked at Su Tang in astonishment, he was really shocked this time.

There are only a few salt lakes in Leng'an, and the little salt produced is a drop in the bucket for millions of people.

Every year, it needs to spend a lot of money to buy sea salt from Xizhao Country, and then let the merchants spend money to buy the salt sales qualification first, and then sell the salt to the merchants, and the merchants finally sell the salt to the people.

Although the salt trade has always been controlled by the imperial court, due to the high cost of buying salt from the Xizhao Kingdom, the imperial court did not earn much money from the salt.

"Yes, if it can be mined, although the salt produced cannot be sold outside, it should be enough for the people in the country to eat." Su Tang presented a piece of paper, and carefully observed His Majesty's reaction.

What kind of landform the underground salt mine will appear in, how to dig the salt well, and how to get the salt out of the bottom are clearly written above.

His Majesty looked at the words and patterns on the paper, and his hands trembled slightly. He was very excited. Salt is related to the people's livelihood. If underground salt really exists, it will not be necessary to buy salt from Xizhao Kingdom in the future, and it will save a lot of money every year. money.

Coupled with the expansion of the paper business to the mainland, and the gradual expansion of sweet potatoes to the entire country, the people can not only eat enough, but live a happy life.

The treasury can also have silver deposits. If it continues to develop like this, Leng'an will have money and food, and can train troops and raise horses. It is bound to grow stronger slowly.

What he is holding in his hand is not a piece of paper, but the future of Leng Anguo, a Leng Anguo that will become stronger and stronger.

"Okay! Good orphan daughter, just say what you want, and I will reward you." His Majesty looked at Su Tang as if he saw a little heavenly girl who saved the country and the people. Could it be that the rumors about the daughter of destiny are true?
All these things are things that can change the fate of Leng Anguo, is it really just something that Yongle came up with in his head?

Su Tang was ecstatic in her heart, she came, and after talking for a long time, she finally waited for this sentence, and hurriedly stood up again to salute, "I really want to ask His Majesty for a favor."

"You say." His Majesty smiled lovingly.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to take back the order and resign from the position of Crown Prince." Su Tang said anxiously, her future fate was in His Majesty's whim, and it didn't feel very good that this kind of fate was controlled by others.

As soon as Su Tang's words came out, the smile on His Majesty's face disappeared in an instant. He was just thinking that with Yongle around, Leng Anguo's future must be promising, but just as he thought of this, he heard that Su Tang wanted to resign. up.

"Why?"

Su Tang listened to His Majesty's dull tone, and her heart beat faster. She couldn't guess what His Majesty was thinking, so she had to bite the bullet and replied, "Father, although I'm smart, I have kind thoughts in my heart. I can't see blood, and I can't do anything." Seeing the combination of kindness and majesty like my father, I think that an overly benevolent character is not suitable for managing the country."

After finishing speaking, why did Su Tang feel that what he said was like a compliment to himself, and quickly added, "Even if I don't become the monarch of Leng Anguo, I will do my best for Leng Anguo."

His Majesty sat at the desk and listened to Su Tang's words without saying a word for a long time. Su Tang fell on the ground and didn't know what to say. Her future fate was in His Majesty's hands.

"Yongle, do you still remember why Gu gave you the title Yongle?" His Majesty's tone was weak.

"I don't remember." Su Tang replied honestly, after she traveled through time, she pretended to have amnesia, throwing away the past that she didn't know.

"Before her death, your mother told Gu that you must grow up happily. Whether it is to hold the royal power or be an idle princess, let Gu fulfill your wishes as much as possible, and Gu will give you the title Yongle."

Su Tang was overjoyed when he heard this, does that mean that if she doesn't want to be the prince, she can quit?However……

"Your mother is a rare beauty, and you look like her the most, but it's a pity that your mother passed away early.

When you were young, Gu often took care of you and taught you to read and write. When you were young, your favorite thing was to sleep on the dragon chair. You said that it was the highest and you could see far.

When I was seven years old, Gu asked you if you wanted to be a king. You nodded and said that you wanted to be a person like Gu who would be praised by all people, so Gu taught you the art of being a king.

You have been smart since you were young, and you can master everything Gu taught you. Gu has always felt that this country should be inherited to you. "

Hearing His Majesty's tone, Su Tang felt inexplicably upset. He was not the Yongle who was brought up by him, nor the Yongle who aspired to be a king.

"Father!" Su Tang didn't know what to say, whether his Yongle was dead, or that your daughter who aspired to be a king didn't want to do it now.

Either way, it hurts.

"Yongle, tell Gu, are you still Yongle?" His Majesty stared at her, as if he wanted to see through her soul and her secret.

Su Tang's heart trembled when he asked, "The subject is Yongle!"

"Four years ago, your temperament changed drastically. After arriving in Yanyang City last year, it became even more difficult to see through. If the cellophane was made by your intelligence, then sweet potatoes, and the houses and stone roads that suddenly appeared in the valley what's going on?"

His Majesty's voice was suddenly very cold, as cold as ice under the snow.

Su Tang broke out in a cold sweat. As expected, His Majesty had already investigated her clearly, but why did he wait until today to find out?

Should she tell His Majesty the truth, and would she believe him if she told him the truth?Will you pull yourself out as a counterfeit and behead him?

If you tell lies, can you deceive him?what to do?The thoughts in Su Tang's mind turned back and forth.

She should have thought of a countermeasure long ago. The people of Yanyang City were so easy to fool that she let her guard down, so that she ignored the lord of the country in front of her.

It was the first time she entered the palace after returning to Beijing, His Majesty didn't ask any more questions, she thought that she had lied to His Majesty with the way she said about Yanyang City, but now it seems that she didn't.

You can't tell the truth, and you can't tell lies, so you can only be half true and half false.

"Father, is there a god?" Su Tang asked tentatively.

"God lives in the hearts of the people, but he never shows up. If there were God, the people of the world would not be living in dire straits." His Majesty replied flatly.

Su Tang roughly heard that His Majesty is a person who fears God but doesn't believe in God, so he can't use God as a shield in the first place.
