Chapter 92 Zulong was shocked: This method can cut off the foundation of the clan!!!
At the same time, Ye Chi returned to the mansion. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Fusu coming towards him.
There was a hint of anxiety between Fusu's brows, and it was obvious that he came here because of today's court affairs.
Seeing Ye Chi's expression as usual, he felt relieved, but he still couldn't help asking: "Mr. Ye, today in the court, the emperor was furious, and all the officials were terrified."
"Fusu has come to ask you, sir, is there any solution to this clan issue?!"
Ye Chi was not impatient when he heard this. He smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. There is a way to solve this problem."
"But at this moment... Your Highness hasn't eaten yet, right? Why don't you eat first and discuss this later!"
When Fusu heard Ye Chi say this, although he was anxious, he also knew that Ye Chi must have his reasons.
He suppressed his worries and nodded in agreement, "Sir, you are right. Fusu has not eaten yet. So, let's do as you said and eat first before discussing."
Soon, Ye Chi was in the courtyard and asked the girl to carefully select the best and tender mutton, and also prepared the charcoal fire and seasonings.
As the flames flickered, the mutton was slowly roasted on the charcoal fire, gradually emitting an enticing aroma that filled the entire courtyard.
Fusu came over when he smelled the fragrance, only to see Ye Chi smiling and sitting down. He took the lamb from the girl's hand with skillful techniques and turned the roasted meat. Every piece of lamb was roasted to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a golden color.
He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mr. Ye is truly a god. Even his barbecue is so unique!!"
Ye Chi smiled slightly and handed a skewer of roasted mutton to Fusu: "Your Highness, please try it. Is this roast meat to your taste?"
Fusu took the barbecue, took a bite, and his mouth was immediately filled with fragrance and sizzling oil.
He savored the deliciousness of the barbecue and felt that it was indeed different from other barbecues and had a unique flavor.
He couldn't help but exclaimed again: "Excellent! Excellent! This roasted meat is not only crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but also fragrant. It is truly a delicacy."
The two of them sat in the courtyard, enjoying the delicious barbecue and chatting happily.
The charcoal fire reflected on their faces, making them look particularly warm.
The aroma of barbecue and the laughter of the two people intertwined together, forming a harmonious picture.
While Fusu and Ye Chi were grilling and chatting in the courtyard, Ying Zheng and Li Si also stepped into this peaceful world.
They came here with heavy hearts, but the moment they stepped into the courtyard, they were attracted by the aroma of barbecue in the air!
The tempting aroma seemed to have a magical power that instantly aroused their appetite!
Li Si took a step forward and looked at Ye Chi who was grilling meat. He couldn't help but ask, "Lord Ye is still in the mood to grill meat. Could it be that he has found a solution to the clan issue in the court?"
There was a hint of urgency and anticipation in his tone, as if he hoped to hear a positive answer from Ye Chi.
When Fusu saw Ying Zheng coming, his face was heavy and he was faintly angry. He was immediately startled and stood up to salute: "Your son greets you, father!"
However, Ye Chi on the side was neither anxious nor impatient. He smiled and waved, indicating Ying Zheng and Li Si to come over and taste it.
As he turned the roasted meat, he said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li... you guys are hungry too, right? Why don't you taste it together? I'll roast some more and we can talk while we eat!"
After saying that, he turned and gestured to the girl next to him.
The girl immediately understood and quickly prepared fresh meat and seasonings.
Ye Chi took the barbecue tools and started grilling himself.
His movements were skillful and graceful, as if every flip and every smear contained endless calmness.
When everyone saw this, although they were confused, they didn't say much.
They looked at each other and exchanged glances, as if looking for the answer in each other's hearts. However, when they saw Ye Chi's confident look, their doubts were slightly relieved.
They knew that since Ye Chi could grill and taste the meat so calmly, he must have a solution!
So everyone sat down and waited quietly for the barbecue to arrive.
Ying Zheng sat next to Ye Chi. He looked at the leaping charcoal fire and the fragrant barbecue. The anxiety and anger in his heart seemed to find a moment of peace and comfort at this moment.
Just when everyone was intoxicated by the aroma of barbecue, Ye Chi suddenly reached into his bag and took out something.
But when he sprinkled it lightly, the substance fluttered like snowflakes and was evenly scattered on the barbecue.
When everyone looked closely, they saw that the object was crystal clear, as fine as dust, and it was gleaming faintly in the sunlight.
A trace of doubt flashed across Ying Zheng's eyes, and he asked in a deep voice: "Ye Qing, what is this?"
Ye Chi smiled slightly and replied: "Your Majesty, this is refined salt."
"Refined salt?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this and came forward to take a closer look.
I saw that this refined salt was finer than the official salt, and as white and flawless as snowflakes.
Li Si couldn't help but observe it carefully and exclaimed: "Mr. Ye, where does this refined salt come from? How can it be finer than the official salt?"
Ying Zheng also frowned at this moment, and his heart was very moved!
He knew very well that salt and iron were the lifeblood of the country, and most of them were controlled by clans. If this refined salt was really so outstanding, wouldn't the clan power be even more difficult to shake in the future?
He stared at Ye Chi with a serious expression, and asked slowly: "Ye Chi, where did you get this refined salt?"
Ye Chi looked calm. He smiled slightly and answered with a cupped hand: "Your Majesty, this refined salt was made by me!"
These words came out like thunder from a clear sky!
The hearts of Ying Zheng, Li Si and others instantly exploded! !
They looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and disbelief!
They know very well how precious refined salt is!
This not only means that the people of Daqin will be able to enjoy better salt, but also means that the profits of official salt will no longer be controlled by only the clans!!
Ying Zheng's breathing became rapid, and he stared at Ye Chi closely, as if he wanted to see a hole in him.
Li Si was so excited that he could hardly control himself. He knew very well the importance of refined salt to the empire!
First of all, for the people, the popularization of refined salt will be like a blessing from heaven.
In the past, people mostly ate coarse salt and green salt, which contained a lot of impurities, tasted bitter, and were even harmful to health.
Ye Chi's refined salt looks pure and has a delicate taste, which means that the people's diet will be greatly improved!
In Li Si's vision, if refined salt can be promoted, the people of Daqin will be stronger and diseases will be reduced!
Furthermore, refined salt will become a powerful driving force for the economy.
In the past, clans controlled the salt industry and the people could only passively accept high-priced crude salt.
And this refined salt will undoubtedly break this monopoly!
Salt prices will become more reasonable and the market will become more active!
Li Si even foresaw that with the popularization of refined salt, more merchants would emerge, and they would travel around the world with refined salt, spreading the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty to all corners of the world.
Finally, for the entire Qin Dynasty, the promotion of refined salt will be a profound reconstruction of power!
The clan's power rose and fell because of salt! !
The popularization of refined salt will weaken the clan's control over the salt industry, making your Majesty's power more stable!
This is simply a powerful weapon that can shake the power of the clan! !
His Majesty will also be able to control this vast empire more easily and realize his grand ambitions!
