Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty
After Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and others finished eating Lin Ke's delivery, they received the stolen package!
Zhu Yuanzhang opened the package, took out a bag of salt, carefully tore a small opening in it, and poured some white powder into his palm.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were also getting anxious watching from the side. Zhu Biao was able to hold back and not move, but Zhu Di didn't have that patience. However, he still carefully picked up a little bit and tasted it.
This stuff really is like fine sand, pure white like snowflakes, and you can't see any other impurities. It tastes salty and savory, unlike what they have now, which has a slightly bitter taste.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang got anxious. The brat was eating without saying anything about the taste, so in his frustration, he immediately smacked Zhu Di on the back of the head.
Zhu Di then gave an embarrassed smile and said ingratiatingly, "Father, elder brother, this salt tastes really good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and said irritably, "How could it not be good? That's technology from six hundred years in the future!"
Zhu Biao didn't get involved in the lawsuit between his younger brother and father, and carefully found the salt-making recipe recorded in the box.
His brows furrowed slightly. The formula still needed some experimentation. So he turned to his father, who was furious with Zhu Di, and said, "Father, Fourth Brother, let's hurry up and have people experiment so we can make refined salt as soon as possible."
Zhu Biao carefully unfolded the paper and meticulously read the text and charts on it. His brow furrowed slightly, as if he were deep in thought. Then, he looked up at the window, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and resolve.
Upon hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang also realized the importance of salt production. If it weren't of paramount importance, why would other dynasties have made money from it?
Then, the three men's eyes hardened, determined to improve the quality of the refined salt. Even if they couldn't achieve the same level of quality as in later generations, they hoped to solve the problem of people having difficulty buying salt.
This scene was playing out in other timelines as well. Except for a very few emperors who received a lot of negative reviews and failed to snatch it, most people had smiles on their faces.
Especially for people in the dead of winter, wearing old cotton shoes keeps their feet warm and cozy, making it much more comfortable than before!
……
Eastern Han Dynasty, Guangwu period
Liu Xiu was extremely uncomfortable. He had just listened to the entire live broadcast, and Guo Shengtong and Yin Lihua sat together as if he were the outsider who had been isolated!
Yin Lihua and Guo Shengtong exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing complex emotions. They truly hadn't expected that people in later generations would still be arguing about them.
But the thought of their children fighting amongst themselves was heartbreaking. Although they all knew that His Majesty had treated them fairly well, they still couldn't help but feel resentment!
Fortunately, these children are still young, and there is still time to teach them. Thinking of this, Yin Lihua and Guo Shengtong looked at each other and, with their hearts set on their own children, became close sisters again!
Anyway, they both realized that they couldn't possibly influence His Majesty's decision, so what was the point of arguing about it?
Liu Xiu: Huh! What about me?!
……
On the other side, just before Lin Ke was about to start her live stream, the 999 system made a sound.
Lin Ke raised an eyebrow and teased, "Oh, what brings the 999 System here?"
The system was utterly speechless; it wasn't like it had disappeared.
"Given that each timeline has made up for many shortcomings, we are giving a special reward by adding a public satisfaction rating to the rankings for each timeline, in addition to the dynasty rankings."
"Based on satisfaction ratings, the top three emperors in the imperial court rankings will receive a reward. As for what it is, the system will tell you during the live stream."
"The leaderboard will be updated every six months. The top three will receive a mystery reward, and all those who enter the top ten will receive a small prize from the system. However, the one who makes the most progress will receive an unexpected reward!"
"As for what it is, the system will notify you when the time comes. Do you understand?"
Lin Ke nodded, but then felt that this satisfaction level might not be a reward, but a nightmare: an emperor opening a book, and a weary minister!
I'm really curious what the top three rewards will be. This damn system isn't going to screw her over, is it?!
Before long, people from different timelines saw a round face suddenly appear in mid-air, but why did this round face look so strange?
And why does this existing dynasty progress ranking list show an update countdown?!
……
The live stream is now live.
Lin Ke is getting ready to go live, but due to the system's new satisfaction rating system, she's decided not to select anyone to stream this time. The previous streams were a bit heavy, so this one will be more lighthearted and gossipy!
So Lin Ke pressed the button on the small screen, and instantly people from all over time flooded into the live stream.
"Greetings, ancestors! We won't be randomly selecting people to answer questions this time. Before we get to today's topic, I need to explain what you see in mid-air."
