Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 360;

That's right, King Ning is back.

On the day when Queen Wang got the approval of Emperor Hongwen, she sent people to deliver the letter quickly.

The papermaking and printing workshops are near the capital, and King Ning wanted to come back a long time ago. He didn't stay for a moment when he received the news, and returned to the capital with his troops.

"The emperor has worked hard during this period, and then rest well, and I have other arrangements for you in the spring of next year."

King Ning hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted; "Sharing the worries of the father and the emperor is what the sons and ministers should do, and it should not be hard work."

As for the other arrangements that Emperor Hongwen said, King Ning also knew about it.

My heart is full of expectations.

After all, among the several princes, he was the first to enter the court. He might do a lot of things in the court first, and then he was much higher than the other princes in the beginning.

"I remember that the emperor seemed to have some friendship with Wanfu, right?"

Hearing this, the smile on King Ning's face stiffened slightly, but for a moment, Emperor Hongwen, who was drinking tea from a cup, didn't notice it.

"Yes, Princess Wanfu has saved my son's life."

"Very good, from now on, we will go out with Wanfu a lot, and don't neglect her."

King Ning nodded quickly, but he didn't care about it in his heart.

After all, the friendship between him and Lu Yaoyao has been broken long ago, even if it hasn't been broken or neglected, isn't it just to please?
Thinking that the eldest prince born in his majestic palace, who is also the prince, the future prince, or even the emperor, will go to curry favor with a woman?
"Your Majesty, King Jin asks to see you."

"Oh? Why is he here at this time?"

Emperor Hongwen was a little puzzled, but he also knew that King Jin must have something to do when he came here at this time.

"The emperor returned to Beijing today, and the boat and car are exhausting. Let's go down first to have a good rest."

Regarding King Jin's sudden reuse, King Ning had a lot of doubts in his heart.

Why did he leave the capital for a few months? Has King Jin changed so much now?

Although I was curious about King Jin being reused suddenly, and also curious about what King Jin was doing here at this time, Emperor Hongwen even spoke up, and it was not easy for him to stay.

I had no choice but to retire politely.

When he came out of the imperial study, he bumped into King Jin, and King Ning also stopped to salute.

"Long time no see, uncle, how are you?"

King Jin nodded with a smile, and said, "It's still the same. I heard that you have done a good job during this time."

The two exchanged a few words and walked away.

"Emperor brother, what is the important thing about entering the palace at this time?"

"Return to Your Majesty, my brother has just returned from the villa of Princess Wanfu."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Hongwen smiled and said, "I said, why do you smell like hot pot?"

"Is there anything she needs?"

"No, it's my younger brother who feels that there is something that needs to be reported to His Majesty."

"When my younger brother returned to the capital just now, Yan San reported that the Han family was investigating the matter of Xuehuayan, and my younger brother was worried that if they knew that Snowflake Salt came from Princess Wanfu, it would be bad for her."

"That's why I came here to ask His Majesty to send some people to protect the safety of Princess Wanfu."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen's eyes also froze.

When King Ning returned to the capital, he was so happy when he arrived, that he forgot about it.

"What the emperor said is very true."

"Wang De, you go and ask Huo Di to dispatch two hundred people to secretly protect Chengyuan Villa. If you find something wrong, take it down immediately, and kill on the spot if you resist."

Lu Yaoyao was the strongest force against the Han family, but he couldn't tolerate any mistakes.

Wang De hurriedly retreated.

"What's Wanfu's plan for the Han family?"

Emperor Hongwen looked at King Jin and asked.

"She didn't say anything specific, she just said that the appearance of snowflake salt is only a temporary impact on the Han family."

"If you want to hurt the foundation of the Han family, you need to take your time. After all, we don't have many things in our hands."

Emperor Hongwen knew this very well.

The reason why the Han family gave him a headache was because they had too many things in their hands.

"What's more, Princess Wanfu has heard from her about the price of Snowflake Salt. I heard from her that I don't intend to raise the price. On the contrary, there may be a price reduction in the future."

"Reduce the price?"

Emperor Hongwen was a little surprised now.

He also knows the price of Snowflake Salt today, and it's just that Lu Yaoyao wants to let the common people know about Snowflake Salt. It can be regarded as giving Snowflake Salt a reputation and at the same time losing money in exchange for the big loss of the Han family.

After waiting, the price will be raised one after another, but she never expected that instead of raising the price, she would continue to lower the price.

Is this an addiction to losing money?

"Yes."

"The princess said that salt is the foundation of the people of a country, and she wants to make the people eat salt."

"Chendi has thought about what she said carefully. Although the price is lower, we will make a lot less money, but we all have something to earn."

Emperor Hongwen frowned and fell silent.

If he has more salt mines, he will earn less. Anyway, it is cheaper for the common people, and it is a good thing for him.

But now he only has [-]% of Dongzhou's salt mines in his hands, which is not comparable to the Han family. The court needs money and has the opportunity to earn more, but it wants to reduce it. He can consider many ways and reluctantly agree.

But what about the officials in the court?Especially the household department, you must know that the income from the salt mine in the past was the bulk of the household department.

Now that Snowflake Salt is very popular, but the money they earn is not as much as before, or even less. Can those officials be happy?
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about the gains and losses at this moment. This matter can be viewed from another level."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen first raised his head and glanced at King Jin, and immediately reacted.

He only thought of his own interests just now, but ignored the most important point.

If Snowflake Salt maintains the current price or even lowers it, their income will be less, but the Han family will suffer a blood loss.

With cheap and high-quality snowflake salt, who would buy Hanjia salt at a high price?

They only made a little less money here, but the Han family didn't make any money at all.

And Chaotang has other sources of money, what about the Han family?If the main source of income is cut off, how many people have to support them, and there are so many officials, their situation will be even more difficult.

"Since Wanfu has already made up his mind, I won't say more."

Making less money or weakening the Han family is more important, Emperor Hongwen knew very well.

Three days later, before the Xuehua salt shop opened, many salt buyers had already gathered at the door.

The last snowflake salt, after three days of fermentation, has already gained an extraordinary reputation in the capital.

Those who have tasted it all said that they will buy snowflake salt in the future.

This is better than other green salt, and the price is so cheap.

In the past three days, the Han family braved the heavy snow to mobilize salt from the surrounding areas, but they did not sell one or two salt in the three days.

Patriarch Han has not been in a good mood after listening to the reports from his servants for the past three days, his face is dark all day long.

At this time, he was sitting on a tea house opposite the Snow Flower Salt Shop, watching the crowds gathering in the street below, his eyes were spitting fire.
