Chapter 650 That County Magistrate Is Really Useless

The more Lian Quchen thought about it, the more excited he became, and said:
"Does Master Liang know about this?"

Xue Jian said with a smile:

"Yes, we were discussing how to report it to the court last night. No one else knows about it now, but I know how to make salt. But now I want someone who can dig a well, and it's a deep well! The deeper it is The better! Do you have anyone like that?"

Lian Quchen smiled and said:
"I really don't have this."

Xue Jian sighed and said:

"Then I have to figure it out myself."

Fu Jinghao came over and said:

"Didn't the old man we saw that day say that their family inherited well drilling? Look for them."

Snow said:
"I haven't seen his son yet, but what I think of is that the well I want to dig is different from the well I usually dig. I'm afraid they won't be able to dig it out."

Xue Jian rolled her eyes and said softly:
"Brother, the Supreme Emperor is going to Qingyang to repair the other palace, and he and the Queen Mother are going to retire here. Is it true? Is he really able to put it down so suddenly?"

Lian Quchen laughed softly and said:
"It may be that the master scared him hard at the beginning, and you were assassinated. He also lived carefully. The queen mother has a good temper. She is enlightening him every day. Your princess's sister-in-law often goes to the palace to see the queen mother and the queen. Empress. Around the Empress Dowager, I often talk about ordinary husband and wife affairs, and some matters about your family. The Empress Dowager is very interested in your family rules, so she came here."

"I heard that when they were young, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager still had a good relationship. It's just that to be an emperor, the six palaces must be open and scattered. In addition, he is obsessed with power again. So some things are just It has changed. Now that I have time, I think of the past again.”

The next day, the Supreme Emperor directly summoned Xue Jian into the courtyard where they lived.The queen mother is also sitting.

"Prince Rui, what I said yesterday is true. I discussed it with the queen mother last night. We will build a separate palace here. I'm afraid I have to leave this matter to you. The queen mother said, I will refer to you. It is built according to the building method of the side."

Xue Jian was stunned for a moment, stood up and saluted:
"The emperor and the queen mother want to come here for retirement, Xue'er really likes it, but I'm afraid I can't leave it to Xue'er. Xue'er really doesn't know how to build a house, but I can still provide these blueprints. As for the craftsmen, let’s find the person who built our house here. They are all familiar with it. But I’m afraid it won’t work if I’m responsible.”

The Supreme Emperor stared and said:
"Why can't you do it? Don't you just take care of this Zhuangzi?"

After thinking about it, Xuejian looked at the Supreme Emperor and said:

"Supreme Emperor, when you were in power, what was the biggest hidden danger?"

The Supreme Emperor stared at Xue Jian for a while, but Xue didn't change her face when she saw her, and she didn't mind how you looked at her.The Supreme Emperor said:
"What do you know?"

Xuejian also replied:
"I know it's best for the emperor to touch the Yanzheng right now."

Taishang Huang frowned, snorted and said:

"I have been preparing for so many years, but I didn't dare to touch the salt merchant. He is the only one in charge. He is very courageous. But he dared to touch the salt merchant. He doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. Eunuch Li."

When the Supreme Emperor heard about it, he immediately wanted Eunuch Li to send a letter back to Beijing to stop the emperor from doing this.Xuejian said again:
"So, I can't supervise the building of your house, because I'm going to touch those salt merchants!"

The Supreme Emperor looked at Xue Jian and said:

"Haven't you been scared of being assassinated this time? You don't know how hard it is for them to chew. We want to control them, but we have to use them. They stuck our throats! You are also brave Fat, you want to touch them too?"

Having said that, he glared and said:

"Did you encourage the emperor to do this?"

Xuejian hurriedly shouted for grievances:

"I'm wronged, Your Majesty. I just know that he transferred my uncle from Qingyang Mansion to be a salt official. I guessed that he was planning to attack the salt merchants. But I want to move the salt merchants." It really has nothing to do with this matter. Your Majesty, I want to do a big thing recently, salt! I found salt!"

"What did you say!"

Taishang Huang suddenly stood up from the chair, looked at Xue Jian and said urgently:

"You say it again!"

Xue Jian said calmly:

"I can't help you build a house, because I found salt. I want to make salt, and I want to fight those salt merchants!"

The Supreme Emperor still couldn't believe it, looked at Xue Jian and said:
"What you said is true? Where did you find the salt? If you dare to fight against the salt merchant, it must be a small number."

Xue Jian nodded and said:
"Of course, I didn't say it yesterday because the three princes are here. I still don't want them to know about this."

The Supreme Emperor was very excited and reconfirmed:

"Did you really find the salt? Where?"

Xue Jian nodded and said:
"Does the Supreme Emperor know about Li County?"

The Supreme Emperor replied without thinking:

"Of course I know, there is no postage of food there, and the court takes food to make up for it every year. That county magistrate is really useless."

Xue Jian said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, you are wrong. That county magistrate is the best county magistrate I have ever seen. In such a poor county, people have been sticking to it. Have you ever seen any official family who served and ate meals? This is their family. Because half of their family’s food purchases are given to beggars. He has worked in Li County for more than ten years, and no official is willing to go to see the situation in Li County, because there is no oil and water. But he still takes it as his duty to keep the people in Li County from starving to death. He heard that I grow corn here, so I insisted on planting it, and wanted to try to see if it could be planted. As a result, the corn he planted there would not grow and he would die. Yes. I just went to have a look. Taishanghuang, do you know why they can’t grow food in Li County? It’s because there is salt in their fields! There’s a kind of water deep in the ground called brine, which can make Salt. So, now I want to get some people to check it out, I want to see how much brine can be down there. So, I'm going to be very busy lately, I'm going to take people around to see it myself. So, can you put Let me find a way to send those three away."

The Supreme Emperor was still staring at Xue Jian, apparently not digesting the news yet.What a big deal.It turned out that the county was poor, but it didn't know how to use it because it had hidden treasures.It turned out that Xuejian dared to touch those salt merchants because he produced salt on his side.

The Empress Dowager looked at the Supreme Emperor in a daze. Although she didn't quite understand why it was so difficult to move the salt merchants, they were all from the imperial dynasty, so how could it be so difficult?But I always knew that the emperor had been angry several times since he first became emperor, all because of the salt merchants, and because of those salt merchants, he even married a salt merchant's daughter into the palace.

How arrogant was Concubine Jing when she first entered the palace.She doesn't even care about the queen.Because their Lu family is rich, she eats and uses the best.People don't use the ones in the palace, they are all brought by the family.But fortunately, when she gave birth to the child, it was difficult to give birth because the child was too big.With one dead body and two lives, the harem is much quieter!
