Father, I am back to fight!

Chapter 499

"What! This! How is this possible?!"

Emperor Liang was shocked when he heard this.

The people present were also shocked. They saw with their own eyes that after tasting the refined salt, Emperor Liang praised its taste highly!

Such good things should be rare in the world. How could they be so cheap and good quality and be provided to the people in an endless supply?

"Your Majesty! This is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said!"

"His Royal Highness also said that His Majesty would like to issue an imperial decree that refined salt can only be sold in shops opened by His Royal Highness. Any merchant family selling it will be punished by death!"

"As soon as the imperial edict is issued, within half a month at most, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ensure that the people of Daliang have access to refined salt!"

"Not only that, the price of refined salt will be very low!"

The man said in a deep voice.

The process of refining refined salt is not complicated. If there was no imperial decree from Emperor Liang, once the nobles learned it, refined salt would not be his only business.

However, after he ascends the throne, refined salt will be included in the scope of state-owned enterprises, and the price will be strictly controlled. In this way, even if he passes away a hundred years later, no one will raise the price of refined salt and strangle the people!

"This! Is this really true?"

Emperor Liang still couldn't believe it.

"Your Majesty! The Crown Prince reminded me when he came here, and this is indeed true!"

The man confirmed again.

Emperor Liang looked at the refined salt in his hand and took a deep breath.

He had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He thought about how Qin Yu, this bastard, had tricked him!

He must have known for a long time that the southern border of Daliang produced refined salt, so he tried every means to make the southern border his fiefdom. He even went to the southern border to stay, fearing that he would take the southern border back!

Moreover, the refined salt is now under Qin Yu’s control, and he, as the emperor, cannot intervene even if he wants to!

"Okay! I will issue an order now. From now on, refined salt can only be sold by Yu'er. Anyone who dares to sell it will be punished by death!"

Emperor Liang said coldly.

"Your Majesty! I will go back and pass on your order!"

The man said in a deep voice, then stood up respectfully and walked out.

After the man left, Emperor Liang handed the small jar of refined salt to Kou Ying and said, "Show it to them all. This refined salt is definitely better than the finest clear salt!"

After saying that, Kou Ying took the jar and walked in front of the officials. When the officials saw the refined salt, they were all shocked. Some old officials even reached out and grabbed some to taste it.

"This! How can refined salt taste so good!"

"How can such a high-quality refined salt be in endless supply?"

"Your Majesty! This is definitely strange! The eye sockets of Daliang produce very little clear salt, and even less coarse salt. How could there be a salt mine that produces such excellent salt!"

Officials raised questions.

Emperor Liang said in a deep voice, "But! The facts are right before your eyes. Yu'er did dig out this truly exceptional salt!"

"Father! I believe there must be something fishy going on here. It's very likely that my sixth brother has discovered a truly exceptional mine. He believes the salt is inexhaustible, but in reality, salt is only used up once it's gone!"

"This kind of salt could be sold for a thousand gold coins per ounce, but it wouldn't be too much. He sells it to the people at a very low price. If the people are used to eating refined salt, and one day it's gone, they will definitely not be able to accept it!"

"Father! This matter must be investigated thoroughly. I must not let my sixth brother do something foolish just to get noticed!"

Qin Mang stood up and said in a deep voice.
