Thank you for the invitation. I am in the Ming Dynasty and swear not to be an official!

Chapter 16 This is a genius

When Princess Ning Guo heard that Liao Tiancheng actually compared herself with a villain, she immediately stared at him angrily.

But Liao Tiancheng had already turned around and returned to the house, and could not see her at all.

Ma Dajiao was afraid that her secrets would be exposed, so he quickly pulled her back: "It's your fault too. Before I came out, I told you not to speak carelessly. It's better for you, but you offend people as soon as you speak. Why don't you go back now? You spilled the beans and leaked it. As your father, we both have to be punished!"

Princess Ning Guo felt a little aggrieved: "Mother, my daughter was humiliated by him like that. Is this the end of it?"

"What else? You caused trouble for no reason first, what else do you want? Now that we have this piece of paper from him, we must quickly return to the palace to see your father! These are all true insights, which can suppress Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong The things you do can benefit the people of Ming Dynasty, and your things are not important at all compared to this!"

"Ah? Can you still suppress Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong? Mother, do you think too highly of him? My daughter heard that this stinky guy was a commoner a few days ago, but he was lucky enough to get a title. Why do you praise him so much? "

Ma Dajiao was immediately displeased: "Commoners? Your father used to be a commoner! Ning Guo, don't say such ignorant words in the future! Heroes don't care about their origins, and those who are capable deserve the respect of others! Let's go! Got it!"

Seeing that Ma Dajiao was serious, Ning Guo did not dare to be willful anymore and followed Ma Dajiao back to the palace to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Huh? Sister, what's going on in Ningguo? Why are you dressed like a village girl?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ning Guo and wanted to laugh.

"My daughter doesn't want to wear this. The mother said she was going to meet an interesting person. Who knew that person was nothing more than that, and he even spoke rudely to her daughter? Hmph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ma Dajiu, who shook his head helplessly and briefly explained the matter.

Ning Guo still wanted to wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to uphold justice for her, but Zhu Yuanzhang turned his face directly: "Then Liao Tiancheng doesn't live up to his reputation and doesn't admire power. How dare you underestimate him as a princess? Now both Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong are holding his candies. , secret recipe of salt, from now on everyone in the world will eat his corn to survive, why do you dare to underestimate him? Stand over there and think about your mistakes!"

Ning Guo stamped her feet and thought about it on the wall. However, in her heart, she was thinking about when to go out and do something in that shabby courtyard. Not only to save her own face, but also to at least let Liao Tiancheng have a small meal. deficit.

"This kid is really annoying!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, and at the same time took what Liao Tiancheng wrote from Ma Dajiao, his face lit up.

"Girl, you are so clever that you actually concocted such nonsense and got this reply for us! We want to see what kind of truth he can say!"

"If you don't eat for one day, your whole body will feel strong. If you don't eat for many days, your body will become swollen. Yes, that's the truth! This kid is really attentive and can detect these problems!"

"The price of salt is low and the people can afford it. Grain can be harvested and production can increase! Yes, this is a very simple and easy-to-understand truth. There is nothing wrong with it!" "With more grain, the price of grain will drop, which will make it easier for the court to purchase grain! Alas, this logic makes sense, but it is completely different from what Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong said!"

"Their point of view is that when the price of salt falls, merchants are no longer willing to exchange grain for salt, which will lead to a shortage of food in the court! But this guy's idea is to focus on the overall situation and the macro. There is more food in the world, and the price of food has fallen. , it is indeed easier for the court to collect grain! Even though the merchants won’t do it, as long as the people have plenty of grain, why can’t we think of other ways to collect it?”

With such a comparison, the two sides can judge clearly!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Sister, this guy is indeed a talent! Although he is among the people, he sees it more deeply than the two prime ministers of the court and China!"

Ma Dajiao laughed and said, "The one who can make Brother Chongba willing to condescend to have a relationship is certainly not an ordinary person."

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to read excitedly.

"This is also very reasonable! In the past, salt was replaced by merchants. There was more food in the army, but there was also a shortage of salt. This led to the generals and officers in the army being often weak! With more salt, it can greatly supplement military supplies. , boost morale and enhance strength!”

"Wonderful! It seems that once this refined salt production method is developed, it can indirectly increase food production and directly increase military strength! Calling it an important weapon of the country is not an exaggeration!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more excited, and Ma Dajiao's face was flushed, but Princess Ning Guo, who was facing the wall in thought, felt awkward.

"Isn't it? That guy wrote something casually, and it actually made my father so excited? Then he will become a popular person in my father's eyes in the future? It seems that even if I want to seek his bad luck, I have to keep a low profile. That’s it!”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what Princess Ning Guo was thinking, and was still concentrating on studying Liao Tiancheng's things.

"Once refined salt came out, with its advantage of low price and high quality, it also caused small private workshops to close down one after another, thereby increasing the court's income! Wonderful, wonderful! In the past, these small workshops were repeatedly banned, and some local officials even returned these small workshops in order to line their own pockets. Small workshops provide cover! As he said, once this refined salt comes out, these small workshops will indeed be unable to survive. This can fundamentally solve a big problem for us!"

"The best thing is that this move can also prevent officials from being dragged into the water and improve the atmosphere of the officialdom! This kid really has his own talent!"

By the time he saw the end, Zhu Yuanzhang's hands were trembling!
"Control the Western Regions with salt! What kind of magical method is this? The ancient sages have never mentioned it, and today's smart people such as Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and even the dead Liu Bowen have never mentioned it! But why do we think this method is really feasible?"

Ma Dajiao was also shocked: "A refined salt can even control the Western Region? Isn't this idea a bit unrealistic?"

"Of course not now! But he also said that he has to wait until the Hexi Corridor is opened and the salt merchants in the Western Regions go bankrupt! Since this refined salt can overwhelm the small workshops in the Ming Dynasty, it might not be able to make the salt merchants in the Western Regions go bankrupt! If If one day the people of the Western Regions will have to rely on me to eat salt, then this method may really work! At the very least, it will definitely be a constraint to a certain extent, so that the Chahatai Khanate does not dare to act rashly against us!"

Ma Dajiao was deeply shocked!
Zhu Yuanzhang has been emperor for ten years now, so he certainly has some knowledge. If he says the method is feasible, then it really is possible!
But the problem is that a refined salt plan that was rejected by Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong was given a different explanation by Liao Tiancheng. The many benefits are dazzling. The most important thing is that it is also related to the stability of the Ming Dynasty!
"I thought he was a talent, but now it seems that he is more than just a talent, he is clearly a genius!"

Ma Dajiao exclaimed!
Princess Ning Guo, who was facing the wall in thought, had a dull look on her face: If he is a genius, then what does it mean to say that he is just like this?
