Chapter 343 Refined Salt

Looking at Qin Mu's face, Yu Ji was slightly moved.

"I have committed suicide for King Xiang once. Since I am not dead, it is God's will. The young master is deeply in love with me. Yu Ji understands your thoughts. Please give me some time, okay?" After killing Liu Bang, Xiang Yu completely let go of Yu Ji's heart. She must not forget her life-saving grace for Qin Mu.

Qin Mu nodded and said nothing.

But in a few days, Qin Mu's report was written.

In Wuxin Hall, Hu Hai had informed Xiao He and others of the news of Liu Bang's death. At this moment, in addition to Xiao He, there were also people standing in Wuxin Hall who came from Liu Bang, including Chen Ping, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and others.

The reason why Hu Hai gathered them together was to announce the news of Liu Bang's death was to show them his thoughts. He did not want to kill Liu Bang, because everything was caused by Liu Bang.

Xiao He and others are all smart people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Bang’s actions in Pei County are all caused by his own fault. Now he is assassinated by Xiang Yu’s woman Yu Ji, whether it is true or false, it has little to do with them.

After several people expressed their due condolences, they reported to Hu Hai as if nothing had happened and had no other opinions.

Hu Hai expressed his great satisfaction with the performance of several people.

Liu Bang's death caused great shock to Xiao He and others as Hu Hai imagined, and it was not much different from the death of an ordinary duke in daily life.

Hu Hai was relieved to see that everyone was calm and no one had any objections. Whether these people really didn't care about Liu Bang's death or pretended not to care, it didn't matter. Judging from their calm and gentle appearance, they should have no strange intentions. After all, even Liu Bang could not give them the wealth and glory they received in the Qin Dynasty.

"I have been responsible for recruiting talented talents in the world these days. Now many people have come to register. After the assessment of several gentlemen from the Imperial Academy, some real talents have been selected. Among them, Mr. Han Fu, who is knowledgeable and has no hindrance in eloquence, is an unparalleled national scholar. I dare not not not report such talents to Your Majesty. How to mobilize them depends on Your Majesty's holy wishes." Chen Ping said with his fists. In the past few days, he has been busy recruiting talented talents for the Imperial College of the Qin Dynasty and has lost a lot of weight.

Hu Hai nodded and said, "The country cannot neglect such talents. In this way, the top ten talents selected this time will be counted into the top ten. I will take a look at them myself. Those who know mathematics and knowledgeable science and practice physics are preferred, as well as those old Taoists who refine alchemy. I will choose a day to meet those who seek immortals and ask for Taoism."

What the Qin Dynasty needs now is a smooth over-excessive situation. Hu Hai must strive to establish the cultural atmosphere of the Qin Dynasty within these few years, so that it will take less than ten years. The Qin Dynasty is a huge cultural carrier, and the whole world will probably be the only situation in which the Qin Dynasty is dominant.

Kewu is the predecessor of physics. Once something is achieved, it will have an unprecedented boost to the entire Qin society. Those old Taoists who refine elixirs are the founders of the foundation of simple chemistry. It may be easier to instill some knowledge about later chemistry in them. The premise is to find some wise people from these old Taoists. Don’t pursue the illusory pursuit of immortality and ask for the Tao, science is the right way.

This summer, Hu Hai received a series of reports, all farming reports sent by counties and counties in various places. Even the newspapers of the Qin Dynasty continued to publish articles of the beautiful growth of seedlings in various places. These articles were different from the newspapers of later generations. They were written by some scholars of ancient Confucianism, with rhymes and gorgeous rhymes, and each report was brilliant.

Looking at such newspapers is simply a cultural enjoyment. Hu Hai now spends all his time reading the Daqin newspaper every day as long as he does not review memorials.

A report came from the northern border saying that the Huns had begun to peek at the border cities. Everything was because they saw the happy growth of crops in the mainland of Qin. These nomadic robbers were still the same. As long as the Chinese people gain something, they would come and rob.

It’s just a pity that Meng Tian is guarding the frontier now. With his remaining power, this old man shocked the nomadic robbers on the frontier. Maudun, who was very fond of merit, dared not easily touch the dragon scales. Meng Tian’s power shocked the small groups and brought temporary stability to the frontier to the Qin Dynasty.

Meng Yi has become an old farmer. Whenever he goes to a place, he will personally go to the ground to check the rise in the seedlings. Once a large area of ​​seedlings dies in that place, Meng Yi is the first to appear on the front line.

Hu Hai promulgated the salt and iron dictatorship of the Qin Dynasty in the past six months.

The salt of this era is rough salt, and yellow salt cubes are put into the dishes, all with a natural mineral smell. Hu Hai wrote down the coarse salt purification method he learned in junior high school.

According to this method, a few trusted guards took them in the palace of Daqin to purify the coarse salt. When the yellow salt blocks were steamed and filtered in the water, they turned into white fine salt. Several guards forgot that the emperor was the one who purified the coarse salt beside them. Someone hugged Hu Hai's shoulders and said, "I'm afraid that copper coins cannot be bought for such white salt, and gold can be exchanged. Brother, we sent it."

"It's not us who sent it, it's Daqin." Hu Hai said with a smile at the small pinch of snow-white fine salt.

Only then did the guards realize that they were too close to the emperor, especially the guy who just said he had made a fortune, he actually studied the matter of making money with the emperor, and he looked frightened.

Hu Hai took his fingers indifferently and dipped them in his mouth and licked them. The pure salt smell entered his mouth.

"Try it all, this is what we made." Hu Hai said with a smile on his face.

The guards did not expect that the emperor would let him taste such excellent white salt. They all twisted and finally stretched out their fingers impatiently, but they all dipped a little salt and put them carefully in their mouths.

"This is the salt that people eat." A guard sighed.

Hu Hai has prepared some of this kind of salt in his harem, but it is only for himself to eat, and has not been promoted yet.

He had already installed salt sellers in the Heshuo area in the northern part of the world, and now he has occupied most of the salt trading market of the Huns. Once this fine white salt is sold to the Huns, it will make the Huns completely rely on fine salt from the Qin Dynasty.

"It is said that Cao Shen was asked to be responsible for the salt administration. The salt across the country must be certified by the empire before it can be sold. This method of purifying coarse salt can only be used in the national salt administration agency. When will our business develop and the national treasury be filled, then put this technology under the people." Hu Hai immediately ordered Youzhan around him to let Cao Shen meet. (To be continued.)
