After hearing this, Emperor Liang frowned. None of these civil and military ministers thought about sharing the emperor's worries, but they all stared at Qin Yu and made mistakes. They simply deserved to be killed!
"Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent someone back!"
Just then, a man ran in and reported.
"Oh! Yu'er sent someone back! Let that person in quickly!"
When Emperor Liang heard that Qin Yu had sent someone back, he was immediately surprised.
Then, a man strode in, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to present this item to Your Majesty!"
"Okay! Bring it up!"
Emperor Liang said excitedly.
Afterwards, the eunuch Kou Ying immediately stepped forward, took away the small jar of refined salt, and presented it to Emperor Liang.
After Emperor Liang got the small jar, he opened it and saw the refined salt inside, which was as white as snow and as fine as fine sand. He was stunned for a moment, looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and asked, "What is this?"
"Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this substance is called refined salt, it's purer than the finest clear salt, and tastes fantastic!"
the man replied.
"Fine salt!"
Emperor Liang muttered something, then grabbed some and put it in his mouth.
The next moment, the refined salt melted in his mouth, leaving only salty taste, without any bitterness at all!
"Hmm! It really tastes great, not a bit bitter at all!"
Emperor Liang said in surprise.
Ok?
Qin Mang frowned slightly. Although he didn't know what was so special about this refined salt, seeing Emperor Liang so happy, it was obvious that he was very satisfied with it.
"Father! No matter how good this refined salt is, it's only this little bit!"
Qin Mang said in a deep voice.
Shangguan Xiong saw this and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! The Second Prince is absolutely right. Even if the refined salt is of the best quality, it only comes in a small jar!"
"His Royal Highness must have found that salt was hard to find, so he went through great pains to find the finest salt and offer it to Your Majesty, hoping to please Your Majesty!"
"However, Your Highness, this move is putting the cart before the horse. Your Majesty has the people of Daliang in mind. Solving the salt problem for the people of Daliang is the top priority!"
Ah!
Emperor Liang looked at Shangguan Xiong with disgust. After tasting the refined salt, he also guessed this!
Therefore, he deliberately praised the refined salt. Only in this way would he have a reason to give Qin Yu some time, but Shangguan Xiong insisted on it!
"Your Majesty! Lord Shangguan is right. No matter how good this refined salt is, as long as it doesn't solve the people's salt problem, then everything is just empty talk!"
The officials said one after another.
Emperor Liang said in a deep voice, "Do you think that the only way to solve the problem of salt is to buy it from Sinan Kingdom?"
"Your Majesty! We can definitely buy more than just from Sinan Country. We can also buy from other places. But if we want to solve the urgent problem right now, we can only buy from Sinan Country!"
Shangguan Xiong said in a deep voice.
Every word he said was forcing Emperor Liang to make a decision, and Emperor Liang was now in a dilemma.
If Qin Wu were to negotiate peace with Si Nan, it would mean that everything Qin Yu had done before was wrong. But was Qin Yu wrong? How could Daliang be trampled upon by a small country?
He looked at the person sent by Qin Yu and said in a deep voice: "Besides asking you to deliver this refined salt, what else did the prince say?"
"Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the people of Daliang will eat this refined salt from now on. He also said that this thing is of good quality and cheap, and can be provided to the people in an endless supply!"
The man said in a deep voice.
