Zhu Xiuyuan looked at Li Jiye with a smile.

Chen Huang's expression changed and he also looked at Li Jiye.

As for other people, such as Li Zhong, they also looked at him.

Li Jiye frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud: "Master Hou, Master Hou, if it is true that as you said, everyone in the Liang Kingdom can use cheap and beautiful refined salt, it would be nothing to be exempted from paying tribute for a whole year.

?Three to five years, or even ten years is okay!”

"well!"

Chen Huang was immediately overjoyed. He walked down the imperial steps and came to Zhu Xiuyuan and Li Jiye. He laughed and said, "Ai Qing's method is indeed very good, very good, hahahaha..."

"But Your Majesty, Lord Marquis, although this method is good, it involves a lot. I can't make up my mind. I still need to write a letter of divorce and seek permission from my father." Li Jiye said with his hand.

The ecstasy on Chen Huang's face suddenly froze, and then he smiled and said: "That's right, that's right!"

"Your Majesty, without further ado, please allow the foreign minister to leave the palace immediately and write a letter of divorce to seek my father's decision so that this matter can be settled as soon as possible." Li Jiye said again.

"Okay, okay, your envoy, please excuse me. Come and see your envoy out of the palace!" Emperor Chen waved his hand.

Immediately, Li Jiye bowed again and left the palace.

Chen Huang returned to the dragon table and sat down. Although the matter had not yet been decided, Chen Huang's heavy expression had already relaxed. When his eyes glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan, he nodded with a smile.

"Let's stop here today. We will discuss it again after Emperor Liang replies..." Emperor Chen waved his hand and was about to say the word "retreat from the court".

"His Majesty!"

Just at this moment, a civil servant came out and shouted, attracting everyone's attention.

It turned out to be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial!" the Minister of Hubu said immediately.

"Yes." Emperor Chen was in a good mood today. He smiled and twirled his beard and said, "Tell me, what do you want to say to your beloved?"

"Your Majesty, I report to God that Thunder Marquis Zhu Xiuyuan has deposed his official position for personal reasons and colluded with the envoys of the Liang Kingdom! The two crimes shall be punished together and shall be punished!" the Minister of Household Affairs said loudly.

"What?" Chen Huang stopped twirling his beard, and the smile on his face instantly solidified.

The head of the civil service, the Prime Minister Li Zhong, stood motionless and seemed to have fallen asleep. The other civil servants had different expressions, but no one came out to second their opinions.

On the military attache's side, many people were stunned and did not react. Han Qingshan, who held three positions, secretly raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, I am reporting to God that Thunder Marquis Zhu Xiuyuan has deposed his official position for personal reasons and colluded with the envoys of the Liang Kingdom! The two crimes shall be punished together and shall be punished!" The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue heard "What" Chen Huang said, thinking that Chen Huang did not hear clearly, so he repeated

Read it again.

"Why?"

Emperor Chen's tone had already cooled down, and Concubine You next to him could clearly sense that Emperor Chen was aroused with anger.

"Your Majesty!" The Minister of Household Affairs lowered his head. He didn't seem to see Emperor Chen's face. He took a step forward and said, "The brine from the salt wells in Sichuan is refined into refined salt using a secret formula. It is worth a fortune. It is a mountain of gold and silver."

You can’t buy a good recipe for governing the country!”

"And Divine Thunder Marquis Zhu Xiuyuan secretly called Liang King Qian Wang brother and had a close personal relationship. This time, he even hooked up with Liang's envoys, and even gold and silver could not buy him a good way to govern the country, but Divine Thunder Marquis only got back one year's tribute!

"

"How much is a year's tribute worth? Compared with the good recipe for governing the country that cannot be bought with gold or silver, it is really a big house with a small house, it is not worth mentioning!"

"Therefore, Your Majesty, I participated in the performance of the Divine Thunder Marquis Zhu Xiuyuan, and for personal reasons, he deposed his official position and colluded with the envoys of the Liang Kingdom, causing damage to our great Chen! Please punish this thief severely to serve as a warning to others!"

The Minister of Household Affairs was impassioned.

After finishing his eloquent words, he bowed down.

At this time, the entire hall was quiet.

Zhu Xiuyuan also frowned and stared at the Minister of Household Affairs carefully.

He knew why the Minister of the Ministry of Finance was involved in him.

Because regarding the refined salt policy, all the money in the accounts did not go through the Accounts Department, and the Accounts Department could not get a single hair out of it, so...

"presumptuous!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was about to speak when he heard a loud shout coming from the imperial steps.

That was Chen Huang's voice, and Long Yan was furious.

"You guys... when the envoy from the Liang Kingdom was here, you didn't even dare to let out a fart. Now that he's gone, you're just fighting among yourself... I think you're doing well if you don't do this!"

Chen Huang had already stood up and pointed at the Minister of Household Affairs, "You..."

Chen Huang's hand was shaking.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body!" Concubine You supported Emperor Chen in time.

"That's it!"

Chen Huang took a deep breath, stared at the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, turned to Zhu Xiuyuan, and squeezed out a smile: "I wish you Aiqing, if the dogs are barking, we won't listen. Aiqing will pay close attention to the matter of Emperor Liang's reply.

Once Emperor Liang agrees, we will discuss how this method should be implemented!"

"I obey!" Zhu Xiuyuan bowed.

Are dogs barking?

Zhu Xiuyuan also felt that Huang Chen was right.

"Don't worry, my dear, once this matter is successfully completed, I will give you a huge reward! Retreat from the court!"

Emperor Chen and Concubine You left.

Before leaving, he stared at the Minister of Tobe.

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance just raised his head and suddenly trembled with fear...

…

Li Jiye's handwritten letter has been rushed to Chang'an, the capital of the Liang Kingdom.

It will take several days to come and go.

While waiting, Zhu Xiuyuan took brother and sister Li Jiye and Li Qingnu around to enjoy the scenery inside and outside the capital.

Of course, Dong Shuzhen must follow.

Dong Shuyu was busy with Wuyi Square, so sometimes he went along and sometimes he didn't.

At this time, at the end of March, the weather is pleasant and suitable for outings.

Xuanwu Lake, Mochou Lake, Shenlie Mountain and other scenic spots in the capital have left their footprints and laughter.

In fact, they had already visited these places, and now it was just like revisiting their old places.

But the two girls, Li Qingnu and Dong Shuzhen, kept cheering and screaming, as if they were visiting these attractions for the first time...

Although Zhu Xiuyuan and Li Jiye also accompanied them for a walk, their thoughts were not on the scenery. They were either discussing the details of well salt in Sichuan, or Li Jiye asked some strange questions.

"By the way, Brother Zhu, I suddenly thought of a problem." One day while wandering around, Li Jiye's expression suddenly changed, as if he had thought of a problem that was difficult to solve.

"Brother Li, please tell me."

"Brother Zhu, it is certainly a good method to refine the brine in the salt well into refined salt... However, I suddenly remembered that the coarse salt produced by the salt well in Sichuan is not very much in the first place. If it is refined into refined salt, it will only

I’m afraid there will be less.”

"How can this satisfy the tens of thousands of people in Liang Kingdom?" Li Jiye looked at Zhu Xiuyuan and frowned, feeling that this was a very serious problem.

"So Brother Li was worried about this, haha, this matter is not difficult, not difficult!" Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"Brother Zhu?"
Chapter completed!
