Chapter 565 The Full Rise of Salt Mines

After listening, Chen Chong nodded in satisfaction and said:

“You all said very well. The United decided to exempt all salt mine taxes this year.”

“The emperor’s wise and martial arts is a blessing to his ministers and a great blessing to the common people.



“The emperor Shengming, under your leadership, it is difficult for the people to become rich. You are a role model for ministers and the backbone of the people.”

With the rise of Yangzhou salt mines, salt mines in other parts of the country have quietly formed! Under Chen Chong’s no-tax call, salt mines everywhere are developing by leaps and bounds, and a fiercely competitive salt mine is being staged. .

The so-called no choice, there is no comparison. The result of the comparison is the quality of edible salt. These ordinary people have the most say, because they use salt every day and know which place is the best!

With the development of salt mines, salt mines in Sichuan, Shanxi and other places have also developed. Among them, the salt mines in Sichuan are more prestigious, comparable to those in Yang03 Prefecture, and even have a tendency to exceed them. This is mainly related to the special geographical location of Sichuan.

The salt mine in Yibin, Sichuan is a kind of well salt with a high salt content and delicious taste, which is very popular among the people. With the development of well salt, it has become famous in the local area! To a certain extent, it can be comparable to the salt mines in Yangzhou.

On this day, Yibin Salt Mine owner Du Qi pulled a cart of salt into the palace. Because the guard and Du Qi are relatives, he was going to let Chen Chong taste the local salt first. The guard came in and reported:

Your Majesty”, the minister’s distant relatives brought a cart of salt from Sichuan, and now they are waiting outside the hall. I don’t know if you would like to let him in. I hereby ask for your instructions.

Chen Chong heard that since the salt mined by ordinary people is the same, anyone can come in and promote it, so he said:

“Let him in!”

After a while, Du Qi came in with a few bags of salt, knelt down and said:

“Cao Min Du Qi has seen your Majesty, and brought you a cart of salt, which is just outside the hall. You can taste it and see how it tastes?”

Chen Chong took a bag and opened it, and his eyes immediately brightened. The salt is crystal clear and white as snow. Just looking at the appearance makes people love it, let alone taste it!

The ministers also squeezed a little bit in their mouths, and felt the taste while chirping. Thumbs up one after another.

“Your Majesty, this salt tastes delicious. It is definitely different when you use it for cooking. I’m drooling thinking about it!”

“Your Majesty, this kind of salt is like spring water on a mountain, with a slight salty taste in its sweetness.”



“Your Majesty, this kind of salt is better than the salt we ate in Yangzhou last time.

The ministers praised the salt as good, so Chen Chong left the cart of salt in the palace and ordered people to move it to the warehouse. In the evening, Chen Chong specially asked the Imperial Dining Room to cook a table of dishes with this salt, and let the ministers taste it to see if it was as good as the legend.

Everyone ate the food, slowly tasting, they all admired the taste of this salt is so beautiful! Obviously better than the previous food, it is endlessly memorable. It can be called the essence of edible salt.

On the second day, Chen Chong had a whim early and said:

“I want to hold an event in Beijing to compete in salt mines to see who has the best salt quality, and designate it as national salt and integrate it into the homes of ordinary people. Do you think it is feasible?”

As soon as Chen Chong spoke, all the officials were amazed at Chen Chong’s thoughts. They all praised him for being too clever, and all Qin Huang and Han Wu moved aside.

“Your Majesty, you are so thoughtful and convincing that you can think about everything.

Your Majesty, “This is a good thing! The competition can not only increase the visibility of the salt mine, but also let the bosses know each other and promote together.”

“Your Majesty, I’m afraid someone will make a fuss on the salt in this way, it will be a bit late by then!”

Chen Chong heard the appreciation of the people, and his heart was immediately warm, so he immediately ordered people to draft a document and issue a call, which was sent to various states and counties across the country. While watching, a scholar-like person will show the contents of the notice to everyone. Said:

“The current emperor wants to report a edible salt identification contest in Beijing. The purpose is to let the people have a deeper understanding of edible salt, thereby increasing the popularity of salt, and the winning salt mine will become famous in one fell swoop.

After listening to the scholar’s account, the common people suddenly discussed.

This time the “Salt Mine Arena Tournament should not be underestimated. The connotation is so rich!”

This “salt mine competition is really a very good development, everyone will wait and see, and strive to get a good edible salt back.”

This “Edible Salt Competition is a basic national policy, which allows people to recognize the development trend of salt mines, so as to better serve the people.”

The edible salt sea election event was held in Beijing as scheduled. On this day, there was a huge crowd of salt mines from all over the country. The scene was very lively and there were guards guarding the venue.

There are three judges on stage, namely Chen Chong, Lu Xun and Xun You. The guest seats were seated by the bosses of various salt mines.
