I really didn't want to be emperor

Hear the sound.

Ye Jun was startled.

Knowing that Emperor Xia would ask like this, he didn't expect him to be so direct, without any prelude.

Table salt has always been one of Xia’s main fiscal revenues, and Emperor Xia is well aware of the preciousness of fine salt extraction.

It is such a miraculous refinement technique that can turn poisonous salt into fine salt, let alone Emperor Xia.

If the kingdom below the sky knows, there will be a fight.

Even if a war starts, it will not hesitate.

Only Ye Jun did not take the refining method seriously.

But Xia Huang said that he hoped that he would dedicate the refining method. To be honest, Ye Jun really had no such plan.

Seeing Ye Jun's silence, Xia Huang narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to?"

Ye Jun worshipped: "Father, if you can contribute to the country, your children should be willing, but your children have two problems."

Xia Huangdao: "Let's listen."

Ye Jun slowly said: "The children know the importance of salt to Xia, and the method of refining can also be offered, but has the father ever thought that once the fine salt is controlled by the court, the people can really eat Fine salt?"

Emperor Xia frowned, "Don't worry about this. I will order the price of salt to be adjusted. There will never be a situation where the people have no salt to eat."

Ye Jun said again: "Isn't the father worried that the refining technique will be leaked out?"

This sentence came to the heart of Xia Huang.

The refinement of fine salt has a technology that exceeds the current countries. If Ye Jun dedicated the technology, he would not be able to guarantee that it would not leak.

But in Ye Jun's hands, wouldn't it be leaked?

Xia Huang asked himself.

then.

He looked at Ye Jun, "If you don't hand over the fine salt refining technique, can you guarantee that it won't leak?"

Ye Jundao: "No, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and Erchen can avoid being leaked in a short time."

Talking.

He paused and continued: "Father, as far as the sons and ministers know, we Xia State has the most salt mines, most of which are in the hands of officials, but there are still people who continue to sell illegal salt, just like the Tianmeng."

"Isn't it weird that the emperor father, where the private salt of the Tianmeng came from, wouldn't the local officials know?"

"The children dare to guarantee that if the refining method is given, it will not be long before it will fall into the hands of the heavenly alliance. At that time, the heavenly alliance can also extract fine salt, and even the nations may obtain this method. At that time, our Fine salt will no longer be a bit competitive."

in fact.

Ye Jun has spoken very tactfully.

Emperor Xia knew what Ye Jun meant by telling him that the local officials had colluded with the Tianmeng.

"Tell me what you think!"

Ye Jun said solemnly: "Father, just imagine, if the method of refining in one year is not leaked, how much fine salt will be refined."

"At that time, fine salt can be sold to other countries through merchants at a high price. In one year, Xia can be prosperous, and even if the method is leaked, it will be fine. Quan Deng'erchen will contribute to industry."

Hear the sound.

Emperor Xia thought for a moment, "How can you ensure that the refining technique will not be leaked?"

Ye Jun smiled and said: "To establish the salt field, separate the extraction techniques one by one, everyone only has a part of it. In addition, all workers who enter the salt field must sign a confidentiality agreement, and the salt field will be guarded by heavy soldiers."

Speaking of which.

He paused and continued: "Father, this move can be described as killing three birds with one stone. First, it can crush the collusion between Yanguan and Tianmeng."

Second, letting the Tianmeng no longer selflessly can make money, which undoubtedly broke their way of making money.

Third, making the profit of table salt completely transparent can quickly increase national strength.

Emperor Xia nodded, obviously agreeing with Ye Jun's words, these three advantages made him unable to refuse.

The salt officials did make a lot of profits for the court every year, but they also profited for themselves.

There is a flood of private salt in the market, and Xia Huang has long wanted to rectify the salt officials, but has been suffering from no way.

Now the opportunity has finally come.

According to Ye Jun's words, compared with the control of salt in the hands of the salt official, it can indeed bring greater benefits.

There was a moment of silence.

Xia Huangdao: "Jun'er, I can give you all the salt mines, but the refining method must not be revealed within two years. Can you do it?"

Two years?

Ye Jun smiled bitterly and said, "The child minister tried his best."

Talking.

Suddenly he thought of something and continued: "Father, the son-in-chief will leave it to Shen Wansan to handle the establishment and sale of the saltworks. The son-in-chief will not participate in these small matters."

"In addition, salt mining can continue to be handed over to the salt officer. They are only responsible for mining and transportation. As for refining and selling, they don't need to intervene. In this way, even if they privately store the salt, it is worthless in front of the fine salt. , I believe no one will be willing to risk their lives to steal worthless things."

Emperor Xia nodded very satisfied, "Salt mines are located in various parts of Xia Kingdom. If you want to build a salt field, site selection is very important."

Ye Jun said with a smile: "The salt field is built in Xishan, and salt mines from all over the world transport salt blocks to Xishan."

"Will it be too laborious for the people and wealth? Why not build salt farms everywhere? Wouldn't it be better?"

"Father, if you want to keep the refining method from leaking for two years, you can only build the salt farm in Xishan. Only in this way can you better manage it and ensure the safety of the salt farm."

Xia Huangdao: "You kid, always surprise me, this time the surprise is simply too big."

"According to your words, salt is the lifeblood of the country's economy. I will give it to you and don't let me down."

Ye Jun smiled and said, "Father, don't be like this, the children are under pressure!"

Emperor Xia's expression instantly became cold, "If there are any omissions in the salt, let's see how I can deal with you."

at this time.

Gothe entered the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart and hurried forward, "Your Majesty, the princess is here."

Xia Huang flicked his sleeves, turned and sat in front of the slip, "Xuan."

now.

Xia Huang Longyan Dayue, with the refining method, Xia State's fine salt will surely shake the world, and at the same time solve the corruption of the salt officials.

The most important thing is to cut off the Tianmeng's wealth, and the lack of salt income will directly hurt the Tianmeng's muscles and bones.

The thought of Li Yunyao going to hand over the Tianmeng bonus in the future made Xia Huang feel even happier.

Based on his understanding of Ye Jun, as long as he enters the Tianmeng, sooner or later he will disturb the Tianmeng.

At that time, he will completely eradicate this confidant trouble.

Without the cannibalization of Xia's economy by the Tianmeng, the national strength will definitely increase rapidly.

At the same time, he could attack the aristocratic family attached to the Heavenly Alliance, allowing the emperor to be completely in his hands.

While Emperor Xia was meditating, the shadow of the princess appeared in the hall.

"Chenmei, see your majesty."

Ye Yunyao leaned forward, and while speaking, she glanced at Ye Jun.

Xia Huangdao: "Flat, know what I am looking for you for?"

Ye Yunyao nodded, "I know!"

Emperor Xia suppressed the joy in his heart forcibly, and said solemnly: "Since you know, then fulfill your promise!"

Ye Yunyao said: "My Majesty, before entering the palace, the minister sister has sent someone to send the Tianmeng bonus to King Xiaoyao."

Talking.

She paused and continued: "The minister sister is here to resign to your majesty."

Xia Huang's pupils shrank, and his heart was shocked. Ye Yunyao's actions this time were a bit too calm.

This is not her usual style, the more so, the more disturbed Xia Huang is.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Ye Yunyao gave up everything in the Tianmeng so easily.

Is this true?

Untrue.

Anyway, Emperor Xia didn't believe it. With his understanding of Ye Yunyao, this matter would not end easily.

She resigned now, fearing that the Tianmeng would be disadvantageous to Ye Jun.
