Daqin: After marrying a vegetative princess, I went crazy with joy

Chapter 212 Zhou Bo's Distress
After taking a nap, Liu Bai suddenly felt refreshed.

Looking at the guest room, Li Si also woke up and was sitting at the table rubbing his head.

"My son-in-law, you have too much alcohol!"

Liu Bai laughed and looked at him jokingly.

"Hey, I was thinking of sending a few jars to your house, since I think the alcohol is too strong, then forget it..."

"Don't, don't, send it, you must send it!"

Apart from power, Li Si's only hobby is to drink a few sips of wine.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so greedy for a meal just now!

"Since it's given away, how about some more altars?"

Gazing at him, Liu Bai shook his head.

"That's impossible. Although I have a lot of wine, I still have other uses. Let's drink it first, and I can drink another batch in a few days!"

Liu Bai makes so much wine, drinking it himself is one aspect, and more importantly, he wants to make money.

When the school is stable, he has to talk to his father about it.

After all, although the state of Qin has not explicitly banned alcohol, ordinary people can't afford it at ten times the tax on alcohol.

At the beginning, the reason why Shang Yang implemented this policy was to save food and increase taxes.

But in Liu Bai's view, Daqin no longer needs these things.

Hearing that there will be such good wine in the future, Li Si is not in a hurry.

It doesn't matter if you give more or less, as long as you can't break it!
After tidying up, the two of them prepared to go down the mountain to the school.

Before he lifted his foot, he saw Ba Qing approaching in a hurry.

"I've seen the son-in-law, I've seen the prime minister!"

Seeing her wheezing and panting as she ran, with sweat dripping down her face, Liu Bai poured a glass of water and pushed it to her.

"Excuse me, sit down and take it easy."

Ba Qing was not polite either, and drank the tea in the cup in one go after sitting down.

Raising his sleeves, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, handed him a letter, and said anxiously.

"This is a letter from Zhou Bo from Jiaodong County. At the same time, he brought a message, so that you don't have to worry about his safety, you must wipe out the sea salt dealers!"

Liu Bai unfolded the letter and read it at a glance.

The last time Zhou Bo came back, he asked himself to be in charge of the salt control job and was named a salt official.

After I went this time, I arranged for the salt industry in Bashu, and then went to Jiaodong County to see if the sea salt could be recovered.

After all, sea salt is part of their plan.

Of course, he wasn't that stupid, so he took people with him.

When he first arrived, the salt dealers in Jiaodong were very enthusiastic after knowing his identity, and they were all looking for new ways to make salt.

But after Zhou Bo took out the imperial documents and explained his purpose of coming, the salt dealer completely turned his face.

Although the document promises that if they voluntarily give up the land boundary, the imperial court will continue to employ them.

But the salt sellers are not stupid. It was originally a boiled duck. If I hand it over to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep even a single bone of the duck.

At the same time, this is on their territory.

You can do whatever you want, have you asked us local snakes?

Without further ado, Zhou Bo and the thirty or so people he brought were tied up.

Afterwards, Zhou Bo arrogantly asked Zhou Bo to send a letter to the imperial court, as long as the imperial court gave up Haiyan, they would release them back unscathed.

Otherwise, it's hard to say what the consequences will be!

The more Liu Bai watched, the angrier he became, and even his breathing became a little short.

Jiaodong County belonged to Qi State before reunification.

I thought that after the unification of the world, the people of the original six countries would not violate the laws of Qin no matter how unwilling they were.

Now it seems that they not only dared, but also boldly detained the imperial court official.

Suppressing the fire in his heart, Liu Bai analyzed it carefully.

He would not believe it if it was just a few salt sellers who did this.

Behind this, there must be others!
The lives of Zhou Bo and others are hanging by a thread. The most urgent thing is not to find out the good opportunity of this matter. We need to go to Jiaodong first to rescue them.

After closing the letter and thanking Ba Qing, Liu Bai looked at Li Si solemnly.

"Prime Minister, I'm going to the palace for a while, and the school is entrusted to you!"

Li Si looked at Liu Bai upon hearing this.

"The old man has finished his lecture today, let's go with the son-in-law!"

The impatient Liu Bai nodded, and the two hurried down the mountain.

in the palace.

Yingzheng also received Zhou Bo's letter at this moment, and immediately flew into a rage after reading it.

Seeing this, Sima Chang lowered his head even lower.

A little eunuch walked into the palace tremblingly and cautiously.

"Report to Your Majesty, Prince Consort Liu Bai and Prime Minister Zuo Li Si are begging to see each other!"

Ying Zheng was about to question Sima Chang, when he heard the two came, he suppressed the anger on his face and said in a low voice.

"Xuan!"

"promise!"

After a while, the two stepped in.

After saluting, Ying Zheng flicked his sleeves and asked.

"Do you know about Jiaodong?"

Liu Bai heard the words and came out.

"Father, this son came here for this! They arrested Zhou Bo and his guards, so I invite you to go to Jiaodong to save them!"

Ying Zheng looked at Liu Bai intently, paused for a moment before speaking.

"I ordered Wang Jian to take someone with you, how about it?"

Liu Bai was shocked when he heard the words, and Li Si on the side had already stepped out.

"Your Majesty, this minister thinks it is impossible!"

As the prime minister, Li Si naturally understood what His Majesty meant by these words.

He ordered Wang Jian to take someone with him. Who did he bring?

You don't need to think about it, it can only be Qin Ruishi outside the city.

This is not just to save people, it is equivalent to starting a war against Jiaodong!

That place originally belonged to Qidi, and the time for unification is still short, and it is too late to win the hearts of the people, so how can it be so laborious and mobilizing?

What should the people of Jiaodong think then?
"If General Wang is allowed to go, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the local people in Jiaodong, which is not good for our Great Qin rule!"

What Li Si could think of, Liu Bai could naturally think of too.

At the same time, he understood that these people had touched Ying Zheng's bottom line.

Under his rule, someone is so bold, how can the father not be angry?
However, if the army is really sent away, then Zhou Bo and others will be doomed!

Ying Zheng could not care about their lives, but he couldn't!

If they were to die like this, not only would the situation in Jiaodong be bad, even Xiao He and the others would be dissatisfied.

"Father, my son agrees with the prime minister's words. In my opinion, if there are only a few salt sellers along the coast, they will not be so bold, and there must be someone to support them..."

"My son thinks that we should keep our clothes light and simple, rush to the local area to rescue Zhou Bo and others as soon as possible, and then investigate the people behind it carefully..."

Ying Zheng also knew in his heart that those salt dealers didn't dare to be so presumptuous. He was just worried about Liu Bai's safety.

Since those people dared to arrest even the imperial court officials, why wouldn't they dare to arrest another son-in-law?

Although Wang Jian was asked to lead the troops there, although it was for the purpose of deterrence, it was more about wanting them to protect Liu Bai's safety.

However, Liu Bai's words are also very reasonable.

"Then who are you going to take?"

Liu Bai bowed his head.

"My son wants to take Yuhuatian and a hundred Yingwei to go!"

Ying Zheng, who was still a little worried, was completely relieved after hearing this.

He knew the fighting power of Yuhuatian and his Yingwei.

It seems that those salt sellers angered Liu Bai this time.

Taking them there, I simply didn't intend to give them a way out!
"According to what you said, just speak up if necessary!"

Although he is a bit too generous in front of Liu Bai on weekdays, but when his children go out to do things, they must support them, right?

After Liu Bai saluted, he and Li Si walked out of the palace.

Along the way, Li Si kept telling him to take care of the school.

After everything was arranged properly, we went up the mountain to make preparations.
