Chapter 13 [Military power, dividends]

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhibai was also a little surprised.

The reward of Emperor Longxing is abundant, and even for him, the prince is a reward.

Any imperial guards can more or less know a little martial arts.

Even if he has not reached the level of being one to ten, his combat power is far beyond that of ordinary soldiers.

Three thousand elite imperial guards were placed in the East Palace, and even in this world with extraordinary martial arts practice system, it was already an extremely powerful force.

This force is still far from destroying the holy land of martial arts in the martial arts world, but there is no problem in sweeping through ordinary famous sects in the martial arts world.

What's more, the leader was Zhao Xing. You can tell that he was Queen Zhao's family by looking at his surname.

In fact, this is true. Zhao Xing is the younger brother of Queen Zhao and Lin Zhibai's uncle.

When he came to be the right general of the Eastern Palace, he would be sure to be loyal to Lin Zhibai, who was the prince of the Eastern Palace, and was a force that he could fully mobilize.

These signs can all show that Emperor Long Xing did not have any fancy things and sincerely gave Lin Zhibai the military power of the three thousand imperial guards.

The weight of a crown prince with military power and a crown prince without military power is completely different.

The prince without military power is just a canary in the cage and can be deposed.

Even if the emperor wants to depose the prince, he has to think about the consequences.

Emperor Longxing directly assigned three thousand imperial guards to the East Palace at this moment, which was undoubtedly a direct confirmation. The throne will be passed to Lin Zhibai in the future.

You know, last year, Lin Zhibai had three more younger brothers.

Theoretically, they may become Lin Zhibai's competitors when they grow up, but now they are all eliminated early.

Empress Zhao, who was beside her, pulled Lin Zhibai directly to perform a great gift, and said excitedly: "I and the emperor thank you for your kindness."

Emperor Longxing had already supported the two of them without waiting for the salutes, and said with a smile: "The queen and the prince do not have to be like this. The prince's actions today have been rewarded for the country, but he deserves this reward."

After comforting the excited Queen Zhao, Emperor Long Xing touched Lin Zhibai's hair and said with a smile: "The emperor is so smart. In the future, he should work hard and strive forward to protect the country and country with his father. Only in this way can my great prosperity last forever."

Lin Zhibai said seriously: "I will never let down my father's entrustedness."

For the sake of his own life, Lin Zhibai also hopes that the Dahua Dynasty will continue to exist.

At this time, Emperor Long Xing remembered what Queen Zhao said to herself not long ago.

It is said that the prince is extremely talented and has a very fast progress in practicing martial arts, so he consumes a lot of resources. In order not to slow down his progress in practicing martial arts, the queen wanted to ask herself to give the prince a salary to deal with the cost of practicing martial arts.

At that time, Emperor Long Xing only said that he would consider it, but in fact he did not intend to agree in his heart.

In his opinion, Lin Zhibai was gifted very naturally. Even if he didn't give him more salary to practice martial arts, he would sooner or later become a legendary master and could still guard the royal family. It would be meaningless to practice so quickly now.

And at this time, the situation is different again.

He smiled and said generously: "The salary of the three thousand imperial guards in the East Palace is borne by the inner treasury, but the imperial son's martial arts and daily expenses are not small, and the salary of the prince is not enough. The income from the snow salt will be allocated an additional 2 million taels per year to the East Palace."

When Emperor Long Xing said this, his brain was running at high speed.

"From last year's salt tax revenue, the total salt sales of the entire Dahua Dynasty and surrounding small countries were about 120 million taels of silver. Snow salt was the world, and it was calculated by wealthy households to account for at least 30% of the share.

"The cost of producing snow salt can be completely compensated by the money that the salt merchant can buy salt. In this way, it will be calculated that at least 40 million taels of net profit a year, and there is no big problem in allocating half of the total to the prince.

"The prince is not only smart and pure, but also works very hard and motivated on weekdays.

"After getting these money, you can buy some extremely precious treasures of heaven and earth. At that time, martial arts will enter the country quickly and become legendary masters as soon as possible. You can charge as a general and expand your territory for me."

"I'm not losing money on both sides."

Thinking of this, even if I give the prince two million taels a year, I don’t feel much distressed.

At this time, Lin Zhibai looked at his father in surprise, and never expected that he would be so generous.

Although the two million taels that Emperor Longxing gave to Lin Zhibai were just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, it was actually a wealth created by Lin Zhibai himself, but with the identity of Emperor Longxing as both a king and a father, it would be fine to get a job for free.

Lin Zhibai is already ready. He turns around and uses his grandfather’s power to set up a private workshop to earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year to provide himself with krypton gold to practice martial arts.

Emperor Long Xing's action undoubtedly saved Lin Zhibai a lot of effort and did not waste it on these trivial matters.

Including the military power rewards given before, Lin Zhibai bowed sincerely to thank him: "Thank you for your rewards."

Then, he gave his own suggestions to Emperor Longxing: "Father, this snow salt can be sold at a high price in the early stage. After the market is saturated, it can be sold at a lower price and win by volume. At that time, there are more people eating, and the sales profit may be far beyond the time when the price is sold at a high price."

After a pause, Lin Zhibai said again: "After the price of snow salt is reduced, the price of ordinary coarse salt can be reduced to more than ten or twenty cents, or even a few cents per pound. At that time, ordinary people can afford salt, which can improve people's livelihood.

"If the whole nation has enough salt, it will be strong and healthy. At that time, whether it is farming or joining the army, it will be beneficial to our great China life."

Emperor Longxing helped Lin Zhibai up. He heard this and loved Lin Zhibai who was serious about his advice. He touched his hair and said with a smile: "The emperor's son's words have been written down. Haha, it's getting late. The emperor still needs to study and practice martial arts tomorrow, so go and rest early."

After talking, Emperor Long Xing put away his smile.

He looked around and became majestic. He ordered in a cold tone: "Parent Zhang, start immediately, prepare for the Royal Snow Salt Manufacturing Workshop, send Hongwei elites to strictly guard to ensure that everything is foolproof, and then formulate a complete charter to sell it all over the world."

Zhang Dong quickly bowed to accept the order.

Then, Emperor Long Xing looked at other little palace maids and eunuchs who followed him, as well as several little eunuchs who followed Lin Zhibai, and ordered: "You guys will be transferred to the Xueyan Workshop from tomorrow to serve as supervisor."

This is to prevent these people from leaking their secrets. It is not good to kill them, so they simply got them to work in the Xueyan Workshop, the soon-to-be-established confidentiality unit, which is also their future.

Seeing Emperor Longxing's eyes turned to Zhang Hai, Lin Zhibai quickly said: "Father, tomorrow, Erchen will write a memorial on the basis of the method of making snow salt to present to the imperial study. Ahai will follow the servants and follow him to the emperor every day and do his best to ask his father to be kind."
