Chapter 185 Not enough official salt?Small tribute salt price reduction to replace it!
As soon as this remark came out, the entire Xuanzheng Palace could hear the needle drop.

Many ministers scolded their mothers in their hearts.

Isn't this nonsense!
What does the Wang family mean, can you not understand, Your Majesty?
To put it bluntly, it is to save face, deal with Li Changfeng and don't let him sell any small tribute salt, just be soft and sit down with the Wang family to discuss the terms and it's over.

Although everyone knew it in their hearts, no one stood up and said it clearly.

No one is a fool, and whoever says it is unlucky, this kind of thing can only be understood but cannot be explained in words.

"Why don't you talk anymore? You will only ask questions but not solve them? In this case, what's the use of supporting you?" Emperor Ganwu said coldly.

Seeing that none of the ministers spoke, Emperor Ganwu looked at the other salt merchants he had specially summoned outside the Wang family: "There is a problem with the official salt production of the Wang family, what about you? Why is there no official salt production?"

Emperor Ganwu's tone was cold, and the dozen or so salt merchants felt a little panicked, and quickly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't produce official salt. It's just that the nearest salt well has a problem and can't produce brine!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, it's been raining continuously in Caomin's salt fields, and there's no way to dry the salt!"

"We also want to make money, and every day of delay is a huge loss, and we don't want to do that either!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the official salt production will resume sooner or later, just wait a little longer!"

Although these salt merchants were a little apprehensive, they were not particularly afraid of Emperor Qianwu with Wang Jiachong leading them together.

They expected that even if Emperor Qianwu got angry again, he would not do anything to them. After all, all of them accounted for only [-]% of the official salt, and the Wang family was the big one.

However, what Emperor Qianwu said next made them fall into an abyss.

"Gao Dali, send people from Dongchang to investigate. If it's true what they said, then let's go. If not, then punish them for deceiving the emperor and kill them on the spot!"

Gao Dali looked at the salt merchants coldly and said, "I will obey the imperial decree!"

Gao Dali's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He didn't dare to raise the butcher's knife against the Eight Great Aristocratic Families easily, but what are a few ordinary salt merchants?
Our knife has not been stained with blood for a long time!
The expressions of all the salt merchants immediately changed, and some people began to hesitate whether to turn to the royal family. After all, Emperor Qianwu also had the ability to kill them at any time.

But Emperor Ganwu didn't give them this chance, he waved his hand and said with disgust: "Let me go out."

All the salt merchants were terrified, but they had no choice but to leave.

The hearts of the ministers beat a drum.

What does it mean?
Are you venting your anger at these salt merchants?

Or do you want to go against the Wang family?
Can't!
This is something that affects the whole body!
At this time, Emperor Qianwu looked at Feng Quji, who had never spoken.

Regarding this leader of all officials, a scheming guy, Emperor Qianwu still had some complaints, and every time he encountered a major event in the court, he would either talk to each other or not talk to each other.

He wanted to take this opportunity to see Feng Quji's attitude and thoughts, so he asked, "Feng Aiqing, you are the leader of all officials and the pillar of the state, what do you think about this matter?"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials turned their eyes to Feng Quji.

Even Li Changfeng cast a curious look.

Since he returned to Beijing, there have been so many turmoil, every time Feng Quji looks like he has nothing to do with himself, and no one knows how deep he is.

But he didn't take it lightly.

The more people like this, the more terrifying they are.

If Feng Quji didn't have any skills, how could he sit on the position of prime minister?
Hearing Emperor Qianwu's words, Feng Quji first bowed and bowed in full courtesy, then cupped his hands and looked around the officials and said: "Everyone has a patriotic heart, and the world can learn from it, and what you said is also for my sake. The old minister admires it!"

Speaking of this, Feng Quji bowed and bowed, his face was full of sincerity, and the officials felt quite comfortable even saying that they should do such modest words that they dare not dare.

After finishing speaking, Feng Quji changed the subject and said solemnly: "All the salt fields and salt wells of the Wang family have some problems, and even the salt fields and salt wells of other salt merchants have problems. It is obvious that someone is secretly playing tricks. According to my guess, It should be caused by the Fengtian Society, and everyone must pay attention to it!"

Hearing this, all the ministers had weird expressions on their faces.

Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open?

However, everyone had to feel admiration for him.

He really deserves to be the head of all the prime ministers of the current dynasty. With just a few words, he resolved the conflict between the royal family and the royal family, and gave both parties a step down. No matter what they talked about in the end, the royal family would not be too embarrassed.

Li Changfeng also praised secretly, what an old fox, he directly dumped the blame on Fengtianhui, the key is that Fengtianhui won't take the blame, they are rebels, they can't come out to defend themselves, right?

Even Emperor Qianwu nodded in secret. As expected of the Great Qianzhu Kingdom, his political skills are brilliant.

However, this was not the answer he wanted. He nodded and said, "What Aiqing said is very true. Fengtian Huizhen will only send people to investigate. The question now is how to solve the problem of official salt?"

Feng Quji smiled slightly, and Zhizhu said, "You have to ask His Highness the Ninth Prince about this matter. His Highness can make refined salt, so I think he must have a strategy to deal with it."

He had been secretly observing Emperor Qianwu and Li Changfeng. Through various performances in the early court, he was [-]% sure in his heart that this was a game against a royal family.

And the one who broke the situation must be Li Changfeng.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Li Changfeng.

There is suspicion, disdain, anger, and gloating.

Obviously, no one believes that Li Changfeng can solve this matter.

Small tribute salt is so expensive, how can it replace official salt?
Many powerful people feel distressed when they eat it, let alone ordinary people.

This is simply impossible!
Li Changfeng was somewhat surprised by Feng Quji's words.

However, sooner or later, he would speak out about this matter, so he said, "The quality of the official salt produced by the Wang family is so poor that it even makes people feel sick. What do you want him to do? Isn't there something wrong with their salt fields and wells?" Just right, don’t produce official salt in the future, just use better quality small tribute salt instead.”

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials were shocked.

Li Ji couldn't bear it anymore, jumped out and said: "It's ridiculous, the small tribute salt is so expensive, even the prince can't afford it, how can ordinary people afford it?"

"If you can't afford it, it's because you're too poor."

Li Changfeng sneered, then smiled and comforted: "But you can rest assured that you will be able to afford it in the future, because this prince decided to lose money and lower the price, so that the price of small tribute salt will be reduced to the same price as official salt."

As soon as the words fell, the entire Xuanzheng Palace exploded.

"The same price as ordinary official salt? How is this possible!"

"Such a big gap in the country, can Xiao Gongyan make up for it?!"

"Are you worthy? How much money can you fill in!"

"Your Highness Ninth Prince, you can't talk nonsense about such things!"
