Chapter 170: Salt Mine
Emperor Yang of Sui laughed: "This time is different from the past, and the widow does not plan to return to the palace today, so those plotters behind it will never let go of such an opportunity, and the garrison camp is the last reliance of the widow in their opinion, so they will do everything possible to infiltrate it, and weaken the strength in the hands of the widow at all costs!" ”
Li Shan thought of this, and there was no worry in his heart: "Your Majesty, what should I do?" In terms of time, the tens of thousands of iron cavalry led by General Yuwenshuo will take three days to arrive, and there is no shortage of people who will make a stumbling block, Your Majesty is alone outside the city, it is too dangerous! ”
Emperor Yang of Sui nodded lightly: "Because of this, the widow is confident that he can find out and destroy those hidden banes one by one!" ”
Li Shan was not without admiration, but he still felt that it was very risky.
Emperor Yang of Sui knew the worry in his heart, so he said: "You go and tell Zhang Yi to let him pull all the garrisons out of the field for drills, and at the same time, tell him to send 10,000 people from them to the outside of the city to suppress bandits!" ”
Li Shan's eyes lit up: "The army of the bandits is also going straight to Baiyun Mountain, only ten or twenty miles away from the camp, and the speed of the cavalry can be reached in a tea time, and during this journey, they can exchange information, not subject to military law, and if they want to come to this ten thousand people, they will definitely attract most of Yang Su's subordinates!" ”
Emperor Yang of Sui smiled and nodded: "You tell Zhang Yi again, you must relax military discipline and give them time to do things behind their backs, but you must prepare the roster in advance, once the widow gives the order, you can find out the person who exchanged identity cards, so that the traitor can be cleaned up!" ”
Li Shan's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty's move can be described as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, and they didn't dare to think that at this juncture, General Zhang would leave no room for anything!" ”
Emperor Yang of Sui nodded: "As you said, some people are not enough to make a living!" ”
Emperor Yang of Sui put his hands behind him, his figure looked extremely tall, Li Shan watched from the sidelines, and only felt that this was the real son of destiny!
And the Yang Xuanting, Yang Su and others he saw were just local chickens and dogs, without any kingly spirit!
Li Shan conveyed the order, and heavy rain poured down.
This rain comes and goes quickly, and after the rain stops, there is a stick of incense or so, and Pegasus explores Malay!
"Your Majesty, the displaced people outside the city have found a strange rock wall outside the grassland under Baiyun Mountain, according to the old man in the mountain, this is a poisonous salt mine!"
After he finished speaking, Emperor Yang of Sui, who was in the upper position, lit up.
"Is what you say true? This is truly a poison salt mine! ”
The herald did not doubt him, and said firmly: "It is true, the sheep and herds, most of them gather here, to take up the salt from the rock!" ”
Hearing the specific description of this herald, Emperor Yang of Sui immediately became happy.
Seeing this, Li Shan, who was on the side, thought that Emperor Yang of Sui didn't know the difference between salt mines and poisonous salt mines, so he came forward and said.
"Your Majesty, this poisonous salt mine, the salt produced, animals can eat, but people can't eat it, and the tribute salt used by His Majesty in peacetime, but the difference between cloud and mud, after people eat it, they can die!"
Emperor Yang of Sui smiled when he heard this, he naturally knew this.
This kind of salt mine with low purity is not lacking in many northern mountains, but no one knows how to purify, you must know that this ordinary salt mine, but mixed with many minerals and toxic substances, while tasting the salt, these things are also ingested into the body, of course, it will cause physical discomfort!
Emperor Yang of Sui laughed: "What Aiqing said, the widow naturally knows, but the widow once taught the alchemy technique to the first emperor, one of which is the method of purification, this method can remove the impurities of the drug, so that only the essence is left, the widow also wants to try, with such a method on the poisonous salt mine, can the salt be purified, so that it can be used by people!" ”
When Li Shan heard this, he was immediately a little dumbfounded.
"The elixir refined by His Majesty is like a miracle medicine, how can such a noble method be used on this cheap salt mine? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? If this was known to the first emperor, I am afraid that he would also be unhappy! ”
Yang Guang saw Li Shan's expression, and suddenly laughed in his heart.
Sure enough, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, in the hearts of everyone in the Great Sui Dynasty, is a first-class Ming Jun, and using the first emperor as a shield really can't arouse anyone's suspicion!
So Emperor Yang of Sui pretended to be serious: "Li Aiqing's words are wrong!" ”
Li Shan was stunned for a moment, and immediately bowed deeply: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, the villain only cherishes Your Majesty's body, and doesn't want Your Majesty to work every day!" ”
Emperor Yang of Sui shook his head, helped Li Shan up, and said with a smile: "The method does not distinguish between high and low, just look at the value it creates, this method of purification can be alchemy for the widow, and it is already a subtle method in itself, but this method can only save one person if it is used like this, but if this method of purification can be used to refine mineral salt, how can the widow save tens of thousands of people?" Do you still think this method is being used in the wrong place? ”
Li Shan's eyes were shining: "Your Majesty cares for all the people, and he is really a holy monarch!" Then the minister ordered someone to take the poisonous salt ore, so that His Majesty could use the method of purification to create happiness for all the people! ”
Emperor Yang of Sui smiled all over his face: "This is very good, go quickly!" ”
Li Shan immediately rushed out of the door, and the herald stood at the door, and he also heard these things, which made him not only excited and inexplicable, but also a little shocked!
"Everyone is saying that Your Majesty is a tyrant, but Your Majesty is always trying to find a way to make the people's lives better, such an emperor? How can it be so brutal as people say it is? Sure enough, seeing is believing, so people don't deceive me! ”
Then the herald had nothing to do, and shared what he had seen and heard with a few familiar scouts!
When everyone heard this, they were shocked!
Poisonous salt mines, there are more than a dozen outside Daxing City, there were once families who wanted to make money from this, but after eating people to death, they couldn't do it, and it was precisely because the poisonous salt mines could not be extracted from edible salt, which made the price of salt remain high, and it could only be transported from the south or the desert!
If Your Majesty can really make the poisonous salt mine non-toxic, it is the merit of the present and the industry of the future!
"What you say is true? Since this is the case, we have nothing to do now, it is better to share some worries for Steward Li, although we are not needed for mining, who will try the new salt made by His Majesty? ”
"I know that some mountain people, because of family constraints, everyone has to eat this kind of salt as a last resort, and there are quite a few of them, they must know a lot about it, why don't you go and go for it!"
