"According to His Highness's assembly line for producing refined salt, we can indeed reduce costs and increase profits." Horns became more and more excited as he spoke. "Next, we only need to publicize the risks of crude salt and guide the public to choose refined salt. This will further expand our market share. By then, even if those salt-producing lords lower their prices again, it will be useless. In the end, they can only become raw material suppliers for the Refined Salt Bureau."

Soren nodded, also surprised by Horns's reaction. His ability and wisdom far exceeded ordinary people, but due to the limitations of the world, his vision was not as long-term as Soren's.

"Lord Horns, next, we need to start working on formulating a specific implementation plan." Soren said solemnly, "We need to plan in detail how to control the refining process of refined salt, how to negotiate with noble lords, and how to conduct market promotion and other aspects."

Horns nodded solemnly. He knew that the task ahead would be arduous and heavy, but he also knew that once successful, the empire's financial difficulties would be greatly alleviated, and it might even be able to pull back from the deficit.

… … … … … …

Horns acted very quickly. Soon after, a national policy on state-run refined salt was presented to Gustav.

This national policy not only condensed Horns's wisdom and efforts but also had Prince Soren's autograph, which showed its importance.

When Gustav reviewed this national policy, his emotions went through a transformation from shock to surprise. He knew the importance and far-reaching impact of this national policy, so he decided to summon several important ministers of the empire for a secret meeting in the bedroom.

This meeting lasted for five whole days. During this time, they discussed every detail of the national policy in depth to ensure its smooth implementation.

The people in the palace also felt the tense atmosphere brought about by this meeting. They knew that the empire was about to usher in a huge earth-shattering change.

Such a large-scale secret meeting had not happened in the empire for many years, which was enough to show the importance of the implementation of this national policy for the empire.

This matter even alarmed Empress Dowager Affina, who had retreated to practice cultivation again. However, the Empress Dowager only sent someone to inquire about the emperor and then never asked again.

Korrina and Yasso, after many hardships, finally found an opportunity to leave the palace.

When they arrived at the Wenk Royal Manor, covered in dust, an unexpected message reached their ears—their seventh brother was actually working hard in the windmill mill.

The two looked at each other, full of surprise. Could it be that their seventh brother really came to work?

The two quickly rushed to the windmill mill. Then, they witnessed a shocking scene. Soren, wearing a nondescript T-shirt made of coarse linen, was carefully carrying a large basin of purple powder out of the mill, while the butler, Munster, behind him had a dumbfounded expression, as if he had seen something incredible.

Butler Munster didn't understand that the purple gourds, which were usually used as livestock feed, could be ground into such a bright purple gourd powder in this windmill mill.

"You're here. It's good that I've made the purple gourd powder. I'll make you some purple gourd cakes to try." Soren said, holding up the purple gourd powder when he saw his younger brother and sister visiting.

Yasso couldn't help but exclaimed, "Delicious!" His words were full of surprise and satisfaction.

At this moment, next to the windmill mill of the manor, fragrance, laughter, and praise intertwined, forming a warm and beautiful picture.

Looking at his younger brother and sister eating so happily, Soren suddenly asked, "Butler Munster, I wonder what the yield of purple gourds is?"

Butler Munster was carefully wiping the corners of his mouth when he suddenly heard Soren's question, and he immediately understood a little.

As livestock feed, the yield of purple gourds must be very considerable, and it is relatively easy to grow.

He respectfully saluted Soren and said, "Your Highness, I am not very clear about the details of purple gourds. Please wait a moment, and I will send someone to inquire about the serfs in the manor. They should know something about it."

Soren nodded in agreement and then began to chat easily with Korrina and Yasso, revealing the closeness and joy between brothers and sisters.

Munster quickly returned to his room in the manor and began to investigate the relevant information about purple gourds.

Purple gourds are not rare crops, so they should be widely known among the serfs in the manor. The news he received later surprised him very much.

The yield of purple gourds is extremely high, and the growth cycle is short. The yield per mu can easily exceed a thousand catties, which far exceeds the current best grain crops. What is even more worth mentioning is that purple gourds also have drought-resistant characteristics, which is of great significance for solving the food problem caused by drought in the Central Province.

Thinking of this, Munster did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately compiled this discovery into a memorial, preparing to report it to Gustav. He knew that this discovery was of extremely important significance to the agricultural production and food security of the entire kingdom and must be made known to His Majesty as soon as possible.

In order to send this important news to the palace as soon as possible, Munster did not hesitate to take out the emergency seal given to him by the emperor. He took a deep breath and injected magic power into the seal. A red light flashed, and a conspicuous red seal appeared on the letter.

"Send it to the palace to His Majesty immediately!" Munster ordered.

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly flashed out from the corner of the wall. He quickly took the memorial, and after seeing the red seal on it, his face suddenly became solemn. He respectfully saluted Munster, and in the next second, he disappeared in place like a ghost, leaving only a faint wave of magic power in the air.

The meaning represented by this emergency seal is well known throughout the palace and even the entire empire—extremely urgent. It means that there is extremely important news that needs to be reported to the emperor immediately, and any delay may cause immeasurable consequences.
