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

Chapter 61 Shall I cheat them?
In the bedroom, Ying Zheng looked at the three standing quietly without saying a word.

Fusu lowered his head, and kept glancing at Liu Bai from the corner of his eyes.

Is this brother-in-law crazy?

The snow salt produced actually wants to be divided into [-]% by official means?

Xiao He was also muttering to himself.

If you take the official route, the cost of one tael of salt is probably controlled within two copper plates.

At that time, if you only sell five copper coins, you will earn more than half of it!

It seems that this salt making industry is really a huge profiteering industry.

"Liu Bai!"

As soon as Ying Zheng opened his mouth, Fusu and Xiao He, who were thinking wildly, trembled, and hurriedly stood up obediently with lowered eyebrows and eyes.

On the other hand, Liu Bai directly raised his head and smiled.

"My son is here, father, please tell me!"

"Salt is the weapon of the country, since you have improved it, then offer it!"

In the dark, a voice sounded in Liu Bai's ear like thunder.

'Ah, ah, ah, it's all ah...'

Too much, too much!

"Offering, of course I have to offer it, otherwise I won't come to you! But you also know, father, that I need money for so many things in my hand, this..."

"Father, think about it, although it looks like salt, but its uses are more than that..."

Fusu laughed secretly when he heard this, and started again.

You write, I listen.

I really want to see what flowers you can blow out of this salt!

"Although the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty clearly stipulate that illegal salt cannot be sold, due to the protection of various families, illegal salt has been banned repeatedly."

"If it is really banned, the production of official salt will not be able to keep up.

"Erchen's snow salt is very convenient and quick to make, and it looks good and cheap. When the time comes, those salt lumps they make will naturally not be sold. If no one buys it, no one will sell it. This will destroy the salt economy. Trader and family.

"After the establishment of the school, people everywhere will have books to read, and those who are outstanding can be admitted to our Great Qin Dynasty as officials. This policy was set by the emperor. In the future, they will naturally follow your lead. This is to defeat the family from the knowledge point of view.

"Nowadays, the aristocratic family relies on their intertwined connections. If the connections are gone, their foundation will also collapse. In this way..."

Before he finished speaking, Ying Zheng rubbed his brows and waved his hand to stop him.

Good guy, it's just a little salt, let you almost say that the family is gone.

Let me go on, I am afraid that eating this salt can make people live forever, right?
Liu Bai who was interrupted instantly lost his face.

With such a big benefit, the emperor is not tempted?
Turning his eyes slightly, it seems that there is only one way left, and that is price war!

"How about [-]% or [-]%, my son only needs [-]%..."

Seeing that Ying Zheng just looked at him seriously, Liu Bai felt a little uneasy.

Is this really not going to be given to me?

"Three seven..."

Taking a sneak peek, Ying Zheng was still the same as before, not even moving his hair.

Gritting his teeth and being cruel, Liu Bai spoke out his bottom line.

"Twenty-eight, I only account for [-]%, father, I can no longer..."

"it is good!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's crisp voice, Liu Bai raised his head in astonishment, and suddenly had a glimmer of understanding in his heart.

I... have I been tricked?
Ying Zheng sneered in his heart, boy, learn more!
Play with me, you are still young!

"Father, this salt is the foundation of the country. I wonder if we should send troops to guard it, and don't let outsiders learn it..."

Ying Zheng pondered slightly.

Although the son-in-law talked a lot, it was not without reason.

If this snow salt can really be listed on the market, it will also be a blow to the aristocratic family.

"I'll deliver the decree immediately, they will come to you tomorrow. I'm tired, step back!"

"Yes, Erchen/Caomin leave!"

After exiting the bedroom, Liu Bai stared at Fusu again with that kind of resentful eyes.

Fusu pretended not to see, and whispered to Xiao He.

Until he left the palace gate, Liu Bai still couldn't figure it out.

Why are you so impatient and fell into the scheme of your father?
But it doesn't matter, [-]% is not a small profit.

……

Early the next morning, when Liu Bai was still asleep, the housekeeper knocked on the door.

"My son-in-law, the eldest son has brought General Wang Li and Ma Chang, the officer in charge of salt, here..."

After waking up, Liu Bai knew that these two people must have been sent by His Majesty.

"Invite people to the front hall to serve tea, I'll be right there."

"Yes!"

After putting on his clothes and washing his face, he stepped into the front hall and saw three people talking happily.

Seeing him coming in, Wang Li got up first and bowed down.

"I thank the son-in-law for giving me the medicine!"

"Hey, General Wang please hurry up, you should, you should!"

When he got up, Liu Bai looked him up and down, and couldn't help praising him in his heart, what a spirited young man!

Wang Li also had a gentle smile on him and was very close to him.

Fusu smiled and came to Sima Chang's side.

"Brother-in-law, this is my Great Qin Salt Officer, Sima Chang!"

Liu Bai was taken aback for a moment, then asked again.

"I don't know about Master Sima's ancestor, but I am the famous general of the Great Qin Dynasty, Sima Cuo?"

Sima Cuo, the eighth ancestor of Sima Qian, served successively as King Huiwen of Qin, King Wu of Qin, and King Qin Zhaoxiang.

Today's "Qin Ruishi" who kills the Quartet and becomes famous all over the world is made by Shang Yang who borrowed his military training method.

Liu Bai's words made Sima Chang feel good about him.

"The children and grandchildren are not filial, and the reputation of the ancestors is insulted!"

"Hey, Lord Sima, don't underestimate yourself, let's talk about snow salt first!"

Wang Li smiled from the side.

"Your Majesty ordered me to take care of it. Don't worry, the Eldest Young Master and the son-in-law, not a single bird will be able to fly in by then!"

After all, he was Wang Jian's grandson, so Liu Bai was very relieved of him.

Turning to look at Sima Chang, he saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Master Sima, what is the embarrassment?"

Shaking his head, Sima Chang spoke.

"It's not difficult to hand over the salt wells in Shu to the son-in-law, but the difficulty lies in the coastal areas."

"Nowadays, sea salt producers seem to be ordinary salt sellers on the surface, but they are actually closely related to various families. If they are forced to leave, I'm afraid it will be..."

Liu Bai understood his worry.

Now the court is almost controlled by the aristocratic family, if they are really offended, the consequences will be disastrous...

Rolling his eyes, how about trying to trick them?
"Master Sima, why don't we go to the coast and just make salt in Sichuan, okay?"

Sima Chang paused with worry on his face, and nodded again and again.

"Okay, the next officer will go to deal with the relevant matters."

In just two days, various procedures have been completed.

Under the escort of Wang Li, Cao Can and Zhou Bo followed them to Shu.

He was also accompanied by the Fifty Eagle Guards sent by Liu Bai, without them, he felt a little worried.

On this day, Liu Bai was taking a nap in the mansion when Yu Huatian appeared quietly.

"Son!"

"how?"

"They're all here, and they're waiting for Young Master at the foot of the mountain."

Putting on his clothes, Liu Bai hurriedly followed Yuhuatian to Baishan.
