Zhang Fei was bored after listening to the information regarding the dowry that made the house circulate outside there.
But only then did he remember what the development of salt had left to the emperor whether the salt had been processed or stayed in place.
("sad you don't know how the power of salt seems to be . Then mama will tell you what happened two weeks ago")
"Hem two weeks ago? so the rumor dong stale"
("that's a long time gossip but it's only been asked")
"Yes, yok ah"
Salt was one of the products said to excel in this era.The emperor was very happy when he could dominate the salt products of his own country. But because this is so valuable this information is kept secret from anyone.
Each of the ministers also had their own land and soldiers. It was obtained with its own abilities but was also sometimes given as a gift by the emperor.
The military capabilities of the emperor himself were no stronger than the military capabilities of the domineering ministers in the kingdom.
Given the experience the emperor had gone through and made arrangements. If salt cannot be produced personally, it is discovered that the death penalty of 7 generations will be imposed on the culprit.
Because of this, salt production could only be made on coastal land owned by the emperor himself. This means that every income and expenditure will be paid by the government.
This will really add more cash money to the palace.
After two weeks the salt harvesting process has been started even at the point of iodine administration has also been done. The first results were directly sent down the emperor's feet as a right of authority.
Apart from the minister who held the morning meeting no one was aware of the matter and nor was it allowed to be leaked in public.
Even the right minister when he came home never said it.
That day at the morning meeting two guards came with iodized salt and salt samples purchased outside.
All the ministers present were asked to taste these two types of salt and had to comment impartially.
Look at the difference very clearly. Iodized salt has been washed twice so the color is whiter.
This obvious difference has already made people comment favorably on the salt they produce themselves.
Not to mention the taste that does serve a special salty taste no longer bitter taste like salt sold from other countries.
The whole minister also said this was the best salt one could see in a lifetime. They are happy because this salt is present and produced in the country of Dayun itself.
Getting salt means the same thing when you get a gold mine. It's just that salt is produced from the sea that will never be endless.
Although the results of the salt will not be enjoyed directly by the ministers. But if the empire had additional funds and got richer they would also definitely get the results indirectly.
That day the emperor himself ordered a department of salt sales abroad to be enforced automatically.
Cooperation agreements with salt-selling countries were also terminated unilaterally.
"Ahh So actually the production has already been done. If this is the news about two weeks ago, it is likely that the emperor has also managed to sell it abroad, right?"
("yes that's very true.in the first selling stage the emperor was like going in mad. Now mama hates it because Mama's system has no picture problem. if mama can show it in video form maybe you'll laugh out loud at the emperor's reaction that night")
The emperor himself could not sleep that night when he realized the funds for the purchase of salt had been streamlined .Even salt intake will be the majority in the future.
Armed only with salt he will be able to strengthen his own military ranks again.Buying so many spies and even the loyalty of the ministers will also be in his grasp.
"Mama, actually I was also surprised to hear the emperor was happy just because of the salt .The job of being emperor was the safest and most comfortable job in the world. Everyone is even willing to fight to get a job like this instead"
("it's no shame you're so wrong that all jobs have their own level of risk as well as the emperor's")
"Eh being emperor also has risks? where's possible?"Asked Zhang Fey who was more excited to hear the latest gossip especially if the character was the emperor himself.
Oh no he is his future sister-in-law's candidate in the future. Wis is funny.
Then the system breathes in with the crossed eye. It was fortunate that the system had no eyes only had a voice if it was impossible to the point of not being happy this listening to gossip.
Without delaying the time the system began to explain how one became emperor.
Who said being an emperor was so easy. Just need to shake his leg and command a few things then have fun with his concubines.
Being an emperor was even the busiest job in the world. If you are careless and unwary you will most likely become a puppet emperor.
It was not the emperor who could rule but the emperor who was commanded by the ministers.
previous emperors sometimes gave land and even some plaques to control several battalions of soldiers.
this is done to reward the people who made the service in the past.
Actually it's good to motivate the ministers to work even harder.
But the bad news is that the more awards and services are given, the smaller the capitalization of the palace, even the ability to have its own soldiers, is also reduced.
If anything happens the emperor must ask for the minister's mercy to send the best soldiers.
It was fortunate that when he ascended the throne the current emperor had also already built his own army without the intervention of the emperor in the past.
yet it was so obvious the imbalance between the emperor's soldiers and the soldiers the ministers had.
princes who want to compete prefer to take the hearts of ministers who have the best good soldiers today.
The underground battle was actually similar to a chess game that had been planned from the beginning.
Smile in front but actually enjoy you from behind.
it's hard to grab the emperor's seat but it's even harder to defend it because you have to fight desperately in front of the ministers and this fight is not based on weapons but on tongues.
If the emperor wasn't good at tongue-lightning he would most likely be a puppet emperor that his ministers could arrange.
Not only among the ministers, the emperor also had to see the fight in the back palace. Although not directly but all are related to each other.
Said the emperor's life with women there is like living in heaven like. But it is only based on the words of others that only the person who experienced it can say the word, bored.
There were hundreds of concubines behind and the emperor himself had never thought of choosing one among the women.
More importantly he still has to be mighty in bed despite doing it every night.The man is also a human being who may have to have a pause for sexual life.
But that doesn't apply to the emperor.
The concubine was not only given to him to satisfy his lust but also to widen the power network of the concubine's birth family.
If the concubine managed to conceive and give birth to a Son then her birth family would definitely benefit there.
The Emperor did not want to do this because he was bored, but it was his duty to make branches and multiply leaves.
There was a negative and positive side to this incident for the emperor.
The positive side is that the emperor has many supporters who come from these concubines.The more valuable the concubine's birth family then he should be more "loving" the concubine.
The negative side is that he will have more sons and also Princesses.experience says as more Sons then the fight for the throne will be more fierce.
That's why the emperor turned a blind eye as his sons fought for the throne .Even letting the concubines do small intrigues in the harem.
At least in this way he could screen compatible sons to become his future imperial successors.
Whether an emperor like this could not be said to be a father who loved his son.
Not true .
The emperor was an ordinary human being who certainly had the heart and feelings of a father.
But he couldn't show that affection on the outside. When an emperor shows the difference of affection between the whole Son. So that became because the son was targeted by his other sons.
The affection of an emperor's father will not be honey but will be poison for the life of the Son himself.
But with this incident the Sons would still compete with the other Sons but also with him as the current emperor.
In his heart the emperor realized even his sons hoped he would die sooner.
Obviously why in the palace there will be many processes of the emperor's way of life.everything has its own department including dressing eat even disposing of dirt also needs to be supervised.
When the emperor died he would not die alone. This matter would be put into the investigation department whether the emperor died in an illness or something undesirable.
A brief example of when the emperor died is said to be due to illness. So the doctors who have been dealing with the disease from the beginning get ready to lose their heads.
If it was said he was poisoned then it was the turn of the head palace chef handling the emperor's food.
It should be noted a few things.
Every meal of the emperor will be entertained from more than 30 food menus at once. The menu will be changed every day. Think about how the chef brainwashed the food to be diverse and worthy of consumption not to mention its attractive appearance.
After all that hard work the emperor of an emperor would never eat more than two menu chopsticks.
Although the emperor did not like it but after escaping the poison trial, 30 menus had to be tasted by the emperor at most only two chopsticks.
This was done so that none of the people were aware of what menu was roughly favored by the emperor.
Since the emperor liked a menu then the emperor would most likely eat more than the two chopsticks earlier.
Seeing this is not someone can put something on his favorite menu the next day.
When he did not like menu b then the emperor would naturally not touch him at all. But as a good emperor like it or not he had to obey the rules with just two chopsticks.
"omo-omo, Mama why it's so difficult to be emperor already know so hard but everyone still doesn't want it. they are smart or stupid huh"
("how do you know Mama's just a hehehe system")
Zhang Fei thought his life would be difficult because he was a woman but actually men were just as difficult.
("the princes born from the blood of this emperor must compete even since they are in the womb, isn't this so terrible")
zhang fei was unwilling but he actually had to lift his hat and salute the princes at this time.
When they are born they do not even get complete family affection should be taken care of with their wet caregiver since childhood.
Then the system explained again if these princes had been taught some things when they had started to learn to speak.
Noble children generally begin enlightenment when they are five or six years old.
But the princes are not.
They're just learning to talk but the teachers are about to start coming in the door. Not the chopsticks held when going to eat but it was the brush for the first time.
At the age of 5 years they are also required to start studying martial arts.
For example, Uncle Prince who has been studying it since he was 4 years old. Her mother's concubine nurtured her by teaching her the intrigues in the backyard.
At the age of 9 years boys have even been taught about what is the relationship of women and men.
At the age of 10 years, female servants have also been sent in the room to teach them directly.
At the age of 11 or 12 there will most likely be roommates.
Only after the age of 15 and above did the concubines begin to be put into the backyards of the princes. Sometimes this concubine can be chosen alone or receive submissions from some people who are interested in relationships with the princes.
But specifically for the legal wife it will undergo a slightly complicated procedure.
No love is needed just a political network.
The system tells a story of political intrigue going on in the backyard. It made itself dumbfounded and wanted to just die and incarnate in another era.
but if you think about it again, it's a good thing that she has to marry a stupid man who may not know the meaning of the relationship between women and men.
Only then could she avoid giving birth to children who would fight for personal gain.
In the absence of a concubine, there will never be a fight in the backyard .
So marrying a stupid man was actually fine.Just this way Zhang Fey felt quite lucky.
