Chapter 17: Three Meals a Day
Yang Shuang took advantage of Yang Jun's desire for the position of prince and tempted him to attack Wang Jingjiang with verbal temptation. Although he was still hesitant, he had been persuaded and had been conspired.
In fact, there is still a trap in this open conspiracy.
Can you really prove your innocence and show your position if you destroy your relatives for justice?
Don't be whimsical.
Even the uncle who supports him the most can give up. Is such a lord worthy of surrendering to?
Yang Shuang likes a saying: There are two things in the world that cannot be looked directly at, one is the sun and the other is the human heart.
If you know how to understand people's hearts and see the other party thoroughly, you will have the upper hand.
Leaving the living room, Yang Shuang was about to leave the Qin Prince's Mansion.
Walking through the atrium and bypassing a corridor, there is a piece of bamboo planted not far away.
Yang Shuang's eyes floated by, and suddenly, he was stunned.
There is a beautiful figure in the bamboo forest, wearing a green palace outfit, and the bamboo leaves are backdropping, leisurely and quiet.
The distance was far away, and only the woman's vague face could be seen, but Yang Shuang knew that she was Qin Xianyu and she was looking at her.
"Is the Princess Qin happy?"
Yang Shuang couldn't help but ask the servant who led the way.
The servant was stunned and so scared that he didn't dare to speak. His grandmother was just a servant. How could he know whether Princess Qin was happy or not? He didn't know whether his wife was happy or not.
"Ah..." Yang Shuang continued walking with a sigh.
In the bamboo forest, Qin Xianyu looked at the departure Yang Shuang, couldn't help but chase after him for two steps, then held the bamboo with one hand and stopped.
"Looking at the sky in the morning and looking at the clouds in the evening, I think of walking and sitting."
Her voice was ethereal, and there was always a hint of sorrow between her delicate eyebrows.
......
Yang Shuang left the Qin Palace and walked around the streets. She looked at the prosperity of the two cities in the east and west, found a restaurant, and had a simple lunch.
I couldn't get used to the tea soup in the Sui Dynasty and the food was also unbearable.
There is no fine salt, and the food is mostly stewed, and there is no chili.
A man may not have experienced a beautiful girl, but he must not have had Lao Ganma.
That hot feeling wrapped around your lips and exuded a hot breath that no man could resist.
Yang Shuang suddenly knew what she was going to do.
As a prince who pursues high-quality life, three meals a day must meet the standards.
One day, the princess Zhuge Liuli was slowly abducted by other members.
Just study three meals.
After all, I have a master's and doctoral degree program, and I still understand the production process of fine salt. Without chemical technology, I naturally have a way to make it.
He immediately asked the servant to buy a lot of coarse salt and some tools.
Zhuge Liuli rushed over after hearing the news. Looking at the tools piled up in the yard, especially the large iron pot, he asked curiously: "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"Show you a show and stew yourself in an iron pot." Yang Shuang smiled.
Zhuge Liuli glanced at him and saw the coarse salt in the bag next to him, and became more confused.
The Duke of Ming was also curious and rushed over. Looking at Yang Shuang, who was busy commanding his servants, he and Zhuge Liuli looked at each other.
Yang Shuang was about to make a puzzle, but she didn't tell them the specific plan.
The simple purification of coarse salt is very simple. First, pour the coarse salt into the ash pond to dissolve it into saturated brine, and then filter the mud residue inside through several layers of the sand plate and flow into the clarification pond.
Put a little lime milk in the pond. The action of lime milk can precipitate the iron compound impurities in the coarse salt at the bottom of the pond, and then put the precipitated brine into the halogen box.
Next, put the braised box into a large pot, boil the coal until about 109 degrees Celsius, and then the snow-white fine salt can be crystallized. Then take it out, after a day of drying, the bitter braised drips all over, and finally bake it on the salt kang, and the work is done.
This method seems simple. Yang Shuang directed his servants to make it for several days before harvesting a bag of fine salt.
"We can finally improve the food." Yang Shuang said with relief. This was the result of his labor.
However, Zhuge Nantian, the Duke of Ming Dynasty, changed his face and immediately warned all the servants present to prohibit telling what they saw. If anyone leaks it, he will be killed.
Then, he invited Yang Shuang to the living room and asked quickly: "Your Highness, when did you master such a magical skill that you can purify coarse salt?"
The salts in this era are all coarse salt. Whether it is well salt or lake salt, they contain more impurities. The harm is also different depending on the content of impurities. Some will cause diarrhea, and some will also cause nausea and vomiting. There was a disease in ancient times called "soft disease", which is caused by taking coarse salt with more impurities. In severe cases, the heartbeat increases, blood pressure increases, and death occurs in several days.
Therefore, when the Duke of Ming Dynasty saw Yang Shuang purified the coarse salt, he was so shocked, and immediately blocked the news.
Yang Shuang explained: "There are too many impurities for coarse salt, and eating more is useless, so I had a sudden idea and thought of this method, but I didn't expect it to be effective."
"Your Highness, purifying coarse salt is an unparalleled merit. As long as you report to Your Majesty, your Majesty will be very happy, and you will definitely praise Your Majesty and even look down on it. With this contribution, you can directly regain the impact of being deposed!" The Duke of Ming said excitedly.
It's not his excitement.
Since Yang Shuang was deposed and demoted to the Ming Dynasty, the officials who supported him had basically changed their courses. People had to stand in the court, and it was obvious that Yang Shuang had lost the opportunity. After all, it was difficult for the deposed prince to become the crown prince again than other princes.
So there is no hope for continuing to support Yang Shuang.
If you purify the coarse salt and offer it to Your Majesty, you may be able to recover your disadvantages.
But Yang Shuang stopped him and said with a smile: "Duke, keep the matter of fine salt mysterious, and you must not be known by Your Majesty."
"Why is this? It's a rare opportunity!" asked the Duke of Ming.
Yang Shuang explained: "I was just abolished. If I show my name again, I will face a more dangerous situation. At the same time, keeping a low profile is the king. Moreover, the method of purification is in my hands, and I can give it whenever I want, and I don't have to hurry. While no one is paying attention to me now, I want to find a remote village in the suburbs of Beijing and send a large amount of coarse salt to purify the coarse salt."
The Duke of Ming nodded, understanding Yang Shuang's caution, but he still had something to do: "Are you planning to stock up fine salt for sale? Salt and iron cannot be sold privately. Your Majesty is more serious about this aspect, so don't get dirty water."
"Duke please rest assured. Although I am not the prince, I have the royal farm and land in my hand, and I have no shortage of money at all, so I naturally won't sell salt. As for why I hoard, the mountain people have their own tricks. The duke might as well wait and see." Yang Shuang said with a smile.
The Duke of Ming nodded and said, "Okay! Forty miles west of the city, I happen to have a village, which is relatively remote and has a large place. Why not be there? "
"Okay! I have to ask the Duke of the State to arrange his confidant people for this matter." Yang Shuanggui was the prince, so he naturally didn't have to ask about it personally.
Just when Yang Shuang was busy working for three meals a day, the three departments also had a result of the trial.
Yang Jun hesitated for two days and finally chose to destroy his relatives for justice and impeach Wang Jingjiang's crimes to His Majesty.
It is said that Wang Jingjiang, who was in prison, was stunned for a while when he heard the news, and felt as if he was depressed.
Although he was given up, he did not implicate Yang Jun. The Wang family of Langya would rather abandon him than give up King Yang Jun of Qin.
