Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 180

Seeing that the research institute was fine, Li Changfeng returned home with peace of mind.

But Emperor Qianwu didn't want to sleep.

The Artillery Battalion is his most important thing. What the Eight Great Aristocratic Families did was like touching his back. Emperor Qianwu almost mobilized all his hidden powers to investigate.

After Li Changfeng returned home, he didn't sleep either. He put on a human skin mask and went to Skynet's stronghold, asking Skynet to mobilize all its energy to investigate this time.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Changfeng received the results of the investigation. This time, the Zhao family took the lead in attacking the artillery battalion, and the Wang family secretly cooperated fully.

Li Changfeng was not surprised by this result.

Refined salt has been sold for such a long time. Although the Wang family has not raised any objections, they are definitely worried that the improvement of refined salt technology in the future will affect the sales of official salt they control.

This is a pillar industry that provides them with nearly tens of millions of silver income every year, and they will definitely not sit idly by.

As for why the Wang family didn't buy his refined salt, but went to find out about the artillery battalion, it was obviously very afraid of the big killers that might be hidden in the artillery battalion.

Neither the Wang family nor the Zhao family dared to act rashly before they figured out Emperor Qianwu's cards.

It is the consistent style of doing things of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families to plan before acting, and the idea is to use the word "stable".

Since the Wang family also participated in this matter, Li Changfeng would not sit still, and immediately sent an order to the refined salt factory in Baishi City to produce refined salt at full capacity.

From now on, he will go all out to hoard refined salt, and start wrestling with the Wang family, preparing to win back this lucrative business.

the other side.

Emperor Qianwu also received the same findings and was furious.

"You bastard, the Wang family actually got involved in this matter, you simply don't take me seriously!"

"Your Majesty, the Zhao family and the Wang family's blatant raid on the artillery battalion obviously not only want to spy on the secrets inside, but also the artillery who are afraid of death and want to plot a big deal!" Gao Dali analyzed with a gloomy face.

"His heart can be punished!" Emperor Qianwu sneered coldly, "Besides, I sold refined salt before, and now I suppressed the Zhao family, which made the Wang family feel sad."

"Your Majesty... in the current situation, should we restrain ourselves first?" Gao Dali asked tentatively after thinking for a while.

With the two great families taking action, the royal family will face enormous pressure.

Especially the Wang family, which controls the official salt, if it takes any action, it will pose a great threat to the stability of Daqian. After all, no one can do without salt.

"Restraint?" Emperor Ganwu stared at him, "Today, if I take one step back, they dare to advance two steps! I think Xiao Jiu's previous statement that there is no breaking or standing is very right, and there is absolutely no possibility of compromise on this matter!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Seeing that Emperor Qianwu was so decisive, Gao Dali also aroused great pride in his heart. It has been a long time since Dongchang's sword was stained with the blood of rebels.

"I have to discuss this matter with Xiaojiu, and pass the decree to let him enter the palace to face the saint." Emperor Qianwu thought for a while and said.

If you want to deal with the Wang family, you can't just rely on words, you have to make sufficient preparations. Li Changfeng's refined salt production is the key.

Soon, Li Changfeng came to the imperial study.

Emperor Qianwu asked Gao Dali to report the results of the investigation to Li Changfeng. Li Changfeng was not surprised by this at all. The results of his Skynet investigation were more detailed than Emperor Qianwu knew.

But on the surface, he still pretended not to know, and after listening to Gao Dali's report, he was furious: "You bastard, the Wang family actually got involved in this matter. His wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed, and this matter must not be let go easily!"

Emperor Qianwu was very satisfied with Li Changfeng's performance, nodded his head and said indifferently: "Since the Wang family dares to take the lead, then I will deal with them well, and it would be better if we can take the opportunity to destroy them."

Li Changfeng agreed: "The Eight Great Aristocratic Families are parasites living on Dagan's body and must be destroyed!"

"I'm glad you have such an idea, but if you want to destroy the Wang family, the most important thing is the official salt they control. You must be fully prepared. If they use the official salt to make trouble, can you handle it here? "Emperor Qianwu asked solemnly.

Most of the salt fields in the world are monopolized by the Wang family. Even if he has the means to take back these salt fields, it will not be possible in a short while.

If the Wang family suddenly cut off the supply of such important materials that are related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, it will inevitably cause great chaos and plunge Dagan into turmoil.

Li Changfeng knew that the opportunity to monopolize the official salt was coming, and he immediately promised: "Father, Baishi City Research Institute has improved the production technology of refined salt, and the output has been greatly increased. Moreover, we have been selling refined salt in limited quantities. There is a large amount of stock in the warehouse. We don’t have to be afraid even if the Wang family cuts off the coarse salt supply!”

Emperor Ganwu was overjoyed: "Is this really true?"

"Father, how dare I make jokes about such a major matter concerning the country?"

"Great! You continue to secretly produce a large amount of refined salt and make preparations to completely break the Wang family's monopoly on official salt!"

Next, the two began to make detailed plans, and Li Changfeng didn't return home until dark.

……

Zhang Hong is a coolie who specializes in freight work in the capital. Every day he pushes a wheelbarrow to transport a large amount of supplies to various merchants. It consumes a lot of energy and he always eats with heavy salt.

this day.

Zhang Hong developed nausea, abdominal pain, heartburn and other symptoms shortly after eating lunch.

At first he was still enduring it, but as the abdominal pain gradually intensified, Zhang Hong lay on the ground screaming in pain, and was sent to the doctor.

The doctor's diagnosis was salt poisoning.

Zhang Hong, who was out of breath, went to Dali Temple to file a complaint when his symptoms were milder, and asked the Wang family for an explanation.

Lin Zixuan, editor-in-chief of the Imperial Academy, was a frail and sickly scholar who always had a heavy taste in his meals, because he couldn't afford the fine salt sold by Li Changfeng, so he always ate official salt from the Wang family.

On this day, after having lunch, he developed symptoms of heart palpitations, dyspnea, and angina pectoris, so he stayed in bed.

I thought that resting for a while would improve the symptoms, but after a stick of incense, the symptoms not only did not alleviate, but became more serious.

He had jet-like vomiting again, tinnitus and general fatigue, and his family had to call a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

The result of the doctor's diagnosis was also salt poisoning.

With the help of the doctor, Lin Zixuan immediately wrote a pleading paper after his symptoms eased, and went to Dali Temple to sue the official salt of the Wang family for a problem, wanting to seek an explanation.

The official salt in this world is extremely rough. In the final analysis, it is a crystal obtained by drying sea water and brine in a salt well, which contains a large amount of impurities such as barium salt, chloride, magnesium, lead, arsenic, zinc, and sulfate.

Salt of this quality, once consumed in excess, or a certain toxic and harmful substance exceeds the standard, will immediately cause salt poisoning.
