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

Chapter 86 Are you crazy?
The old man looked up, and the person in front was looking at him fiercely.

Take a look at the clothes of the three of them, what a gentleman!
"Three nobles, what orders do you have?"

Zhang Han looked at Ying Zheng and said.

"We want to ask you, what happened in that salt shop just now?"

Looking at his appearance, the old man was suddenly a little anxious.

The lord in the salt shop is a good man!
Although he was indeed frightened at the beginning, the result was good!

In today's world, where can I buy cheap and good snow salt?

If these people are looking for work, can the shop continue to operate?

On second thought, no!
That shop was opened by the royal family, these people should not dare to seek trouble, right?
"My lord, the old man just went in to buy some salt, nothing else happened."

"Oh? Then why did I think you were captured by them? Is that boss buying and selling by force?"

The old man chuckled.

"So that's what the nobleman asked about! At first, the old man saw that the shop was owned by the royal family, so he didn't dare to go in for fear of getting into trouble. But later, thanks to the young general who caught the old man in, otherwise how could he buy such a cheap shop?" What about good salt?"

After finishing speaking, he reached out and took out the paper bag from his pocket and opened it for them to see.

"Look, this salt is as white as snow. The old man has tasted it. It is neither bitter nor astringent. It is much more delicious than our rough salt! The royal family only sells three copper coins a tael for this snow salt, which is comparable to The salt that costs thousands of dollars is much cheaper! Do you want to try it?"

Zhang Han glanced at Ying Zheng and saw him nodding.

He waved his hand, indicating that the old man could leave.

Carefully wrapping up the salt and putting it in his arms again, the old man happily walked towards the village.

"Go back!"

Ying Zheng flicked his sleeves and walked towards the palace.

His Majesty the First Emperor is very satisfied with this private visit via Weibo!

Although there were some complaints about Liu Bai's methods, the result was still very good.

……

The Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Master, I bought it, please see, Master!"

Feng Quji took the paper bag from the servant, squeezed two grains of salt and put it in his mouth.

After careful tasting, a conclusion was drawn.

Their sea salt business might not succeed.

Sitting on the chair with a long sigh, Feng Quji couldn't figure it out.

Where did he offend Liu Bai? Why does this person always oppose him?

At the beginning, he worked so hard to get rid of the Zhao party, but in the end he said it in a few words. Now the assessments in various counties are in full swing.

It is estimated that in a few days, they will gather in Xianyang to be selected by His Majesty himself.

Although he used some means to install a few of his own people, compared with the original recommendation list, it was nothing but a drop in the bucket.

What's more, these people don't know whether they can enter in the end.

Now it's a good thing, people directly stepped into the salt industry.

The salt produced is good enough, and the price is still so low.

Even if he ate it, he couldn't eat the previous salt, let alone those common people.

As long as it is cheap, even if the quality of the salt is not good, they will flock to it!

After thinking about it for a long time, I turned around and asked the housekeeper.

"Is anyone here yet?"

Just as the butler was about to reply, the servant outside came to report.

"Master, the head of the Yi family has arrived!"

"Oh... come in, please!"

"Yes!"

The Yi family moved from the state of Lu to Yidi (Linyi, Yuncheng, Shanxi) in the early Warring States period. It started from animal husbandry and became a salt industry.

It has been passed down to the present, and he is already the number one wealthy businessman in the Qin Dynasty, and naturally he is also the largest salt dealer in Daqin today.

To achieve this level of business, there must be someone in the court.

The person they chose to cooperate was Feng Quji.

"Prime Minister, stay safe and sound!"

Yishan swayed his chubby body and squeezed through the door.

"Patriarch Yi looks pretty good!"

Feng Quji forced a smile and started a haha ​​fight with him.

Yi Shan knew him very well, and he knew something was wrong just by meeting him.

"What embarrassment is there for the Prime Minister? Don't be polite, just ask, my Yi family will solve your worries!"

The smile on his face disappeared, and Feng Quji let out a long sigh.

"Patriarch Yi, the sea salt business..."

In the middle of speaking, he was interrupted by Yi Shan waving his hand.

"Prime Minister, are you still worried about my work?"

Feng Quji shook his head.

"What the old man said is not about the shipment, but that he wants you to stop the sea salt business!"

Yi Shan's complexion changed drastically, and he asked in a cold voice.

"I don't know what the prime minister means?"

Most of their Yi family's source of income comes from sea salt, so you want me to stop with this sentence?

Stop talking, at least give a reason, right?
He took out the paper bag containing snow salt, opened it and placed it in front of Yi Shan.

"Patriarch Yi, try it!"

Yi Shan glanced at Feng Quji, then looked at the paper bag in front of him.

He stretched out his hand and pinched a little, stuffing it into his mouth.

After a while, his eyes lit up.

"Okay, Prime Minister, you have produced salt of such quality. No wonder you have to stop sea salt. With this thing in hand, why do you need sea salt? I wonder how much the prime minister plans to sell?"

Feng Quji looked at him with some disappointment, are you just trying to trick money?

"After Patriarch Yi arrived in the imperial capital, he didn't go around? Didn't ask about it?"

Yishan looked at him inexplicably.

"You urged me so urgently, I was afraid that something serious would happen, so I came to the house directly."

Okay, what you say makes sense, right?
Too lazy to argue with him anymore, Feng Quji spoke directly to the business.

"This item is called Snow Salt, and it was made by the prince's son-in-law, and he is also selling it now!"

"The son-in-law? Yangzi son-in-law? Is that the soaring mud leg?"

Feng Qu gave him a quick look.

"Be careful what you say, who else is there besides him? I, Daqin, are only this consort now!"

Yi Shan caressed the teacup with one hand, his little mouse eyes kept rolling.

After a while, he got up and gave Feng Quji a big gift, which startled him.

"What is Patriarch Yi doing?"

Yishan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and clapped twice.

The servant waiting outside the door came in with a box.

"Prime Minister, look, over the years, you have helped us a lot, and a little money is not a respect!"

Seeing him like this, Feng Quji suddenly realized.

Pushing away the box handed over, he sneered.

"Do you want me to help you win over Yang Zi's son-in-law? Hehe, he has handed over this item to His Majesty, and His Majesty ordered him to manage it. Patriarch Yi would like to talk about how to get through this relationship?"

Yi Shan heard the words and sat on the chair in a daze.

Only now did he understand why Feng Quji asked Haiyan to stop.

Since the beginning of the Warring States period, the salt of Qin State has been under the control of the imperial court.

After the wars in various countries, these salt dealers also became active.

When the world is unified, the salt dealers have long been intertwined with the ministers of the court, and they cannot control it at all. The court can only turn a blind eye and close one eye.

But now, with the existence of this snow salt, there is no need for the court to come forward, and their coarse salt has no way to survive.

unless……

"Prime Minister, what is the price of this snow salt?"

Feng Quji thought to himself, you've got the point.

"Three copper coins and one tael!"

what?
Yi Shan couldn't figure it out, are these people crazy?
