Chapter 93 This thing is actually made from green salt? !
For a moment, the courtyard was silent, as if even the air had frozen.

The breeze blows gently, but it can hardly blow away the solemn atmosphere.

The heartbeats of the crowd became clearer in the silence, as if telling of their inner excitement and anticipation!

Fusu was in the middle of it and felt an incomparable shock!

He had been well-read since childhood and was well aware of the importance of the salt industry to the national economy and people's livelihood. He also understood how far-reaching an impact the popularization of refined salt would have on the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, when Ye Chi said that the refined salt was made by him, endless waves surged in Fusu's heart instantly!
Unable to suppress his excitement, he took a step forward and asked impatiently, "Mr. Ye, are you serious? If all the people of Daqin can use this kind of refined salt, it will be a blessing for the country and the people!"

Fusu's voice revealed endless desire and hope, as if he saw the prosperous Qin Dynasty slowly unfolding before his eyes.

Ying Zheng also came back to his senses at this moment, and interrupted anxiously: "Ye Chi, please tell me quickly, is this refined salt extracted from well salt?!"

He knew clearly that although well salt was good, its output was limited and it was difficult to refine. If it was really made from well salt, then the promotion of refined salt would probably still be difficult.

However, Ye Chi shook his head gently and slowly uttered two words: "Green Salt!"

"Green salt?!"

Ying Zheng, Fusu, Li Si and others were all horrified upon hearing this! !
In their eyes, green salt is something that animals eat, because it contains impurities and is even poisonous. Ordinary people cannot afford the expensive official salt, so they have to eat it.

Now, Ye Chi actually said that this refined salt was refined from green salt. How could they not be shocked? !

Ying Zheng stared at Ye Chi with eyes wide open in disbelief, his voice trembling a little: "Ye Chi, you... are you telling the truth? Green salt... How can green salt be refined into such refined salt?"

Fusu's face was also full of surprise and doubt. Although he knew that Ye Chi was extraordinary, this matter was too unbelievable for him to believe for a moment.

Li Si frowned and fell into deep thought.

He knew the harm of blue salt, but if he could really extract refined salt from blue salt, it would undoubtedly be an epoch-making revolution! !

However, the difficulty and risks involved are self-evident!
Facing everyone's doubts and surprise, Ye Chi seemed unusually calm.

He smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Master, Prime Minister, everything I said is true!"

"This refined salt is made from green salt. After a series of complex processes, impurities and toxins are removed, making it pure and delicious."

"If you don't believe me, I am willing to demonstrate the refining method right here on the spot!"

Ying Zheng and others looked at each other in surprise when they heard this!

Although they were still full of doubts and shock, Ye Chi's confidence made them start to believe this seemingly impossible miracle!
They knew that if this could be accomplished, the future of Daqin would be completely changed!
Ying Zheng was the first to come back to his senses. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm his inner excitement.

He knew that he had to remain calm at this moment because this would be a disruptive change!

He anxiously asked again: "Ye Chi, what is the output of this refined salt?!"

Ye Chi smiled slightly and explained calmly: "Your Majesty, the output of refined salt refined from green salt is quite considerable."

"One pound of green salt can yield more than 14 ounces of refined salt!"

When these words came out, Ying Zheng, Fusu, Li Si and others were shocked again! !

They looked at each other, almost unable to believe their ears!!
what?
More than fourteen taels?!
This...how is this possible? !
(PS: Qin Dynasty measurement unit, 1 jin = 16 liang, 1 liang = 16.14 grams.)
By this calculation, one pound of green salt can actually produce 14 ounces of refined salt. This high yield is simply unbelievable! !

Ying Zheng was breathing rapidly. He stared at Ye Chi closely, his voice trembling a little: "Ye Chi, you...are you serious? The output of refined salt is so high?" Fusu was also too excited to control himself. He couldn't help but sighed: "If this is true, then everyone in the world can eat refined salt? This...this is simply a great joy!!"

Li Si's eyes sparkled, he knew very well what the high yield of refined salt meant.

Ye Chi's refined salt can turn Daqin's blue salt from waste into treasure! !
This is a miracle... a miracle!!
Ye Chi looked at the excited expressions of the crowd and knew that his mission was half completed. The next step was to fully promote the popularization of refined salt.

He took a deep breath, clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Prince, Prime Minister, the output of refined salt is indeed so high. As long as we promote it with all our strength, everyone in the world will be able to enjoy refined salt."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng burst into laughter: "Good! Good! Ye Chi, you really didn't disappoint me."

At this moment, Ying Zheng was already extremely anxious and couldn't wait even a moment longer.

He stared at Ye Chi and urged him urgently: "Ye Qing, I want to witness your refining method immediately. Show it to me quickly!!"

It was difficult to conceal his excitement and anticipation in his words.

He immediately ordered: "Come here, quickly prepare my imperial carriage!"

Upon hearing this, the servants standing by immediately took action, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Soon, a magnificent and solemn imperial carriage was prepared and parked in the courtyard.

Ying Zheng turned around and said to Ye Chi, "Ye Qing, you and I will ride in this carriage together and go to the Ministry of Works."

As soon as this was said, the scene fell into silence.

Fusu stood aside and witnessed this scene, and was extremely shocked.

My father has always been dignified and solemn, but today he is so eager to witness the refining of refined salt in person that he even lets his ministers ride in the carriage with him. This has never happened before in his past experience!
Li Si was extremely shocked, sweat ran down his forehead, and he could hardly believe his eyes.

He quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself, His Majesty's actions today were really too abnormal. Could it be that Ye Chi really had such extraordinary abilities that His Majesty valued him so much? !

However, Ye Chi's method of refining refined salt is indeed a miracle...

However, Ye Chi seemed unusually calm in the face of this sudden honor.

He bowed and thanked Ying Zheng for his gift, then he actually got on Ying Zheng's chariot and sat with the emperor.

This scene left everyone present dumbfounded, and the cold sweat on their backs instantly soaked their clothes.

The carriage started slowly, and Ying Zheng and Ye Chi sat side by side, heading all the way to the Ministry of Works.

Fusu, Li Si and others followed closely behind.

……

In the Ministry of Works, the craftsmen each performed their duties, busy and in an orderly manner.

The sounds of bronze tripods, iron hammers, and wood saws interweave into a unique melody, and various craftsmanship techniques are displayed here to the fullest!
Some tools and facilities are fully available, demonstrating the strong national strength and exquisite craftsmanship of the Qin Dynasty.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside:
"Your Majesty is here!"

The voice was loud and majestic, instantly breaking the busy atmosphere in the Mansion of the Minister of Works.
