The ace magician becomes a princess

Chapter 97 High Salt Price
But no matter what, he never dared to offend the crown prince. Is the lower official's understanding wrong? "

Cao Huwei nodded and said: "That's right. But it is necessary to be defensive. After all, he is a prince. We can't guess what the dragon sons are thinking. So we still have to be extremely careful."

"Yes, Xiaguan understands. Xiaguan will take Cao Huwei to collect the bank notes."

"Already converted into bank notes?"

"That's right. They were originally sold in various places, and the money from the sale was exchanged into bank notes in various places, and the denominations are not large, so it is very convenient for Guard Cao to carry it with him."

"Okay. Let's go."

Seeing the backs of the two going away, Yun Yue immediately returned to her room, changed into a black tights, took the weapons she had made in the past two days, covered her with a black scarf, and quietly left the room.

She also accidentally saw the place where Ling Zhongqing kept her money.There is a secret room in that place, she just needs to change her clothes and wait for them to come out.

She really underestimated her father.I thought he was a corrupt official who would flatter me, but I didn't expect him to be a person who can do great things.No wonder Aunt Han always talked about the prince and side concubine. It turned out that it was not unreasonable.

Recalling that she ate in a restaurant before, after ordering, Xiaoer would ask every customer: Guest officer, do you want tasteless, light or delicious?

At that time she also asked, what is the difference.Xiaoer told her that tasteless means no salt, mild means less salt, and delicious means normal salt.

Xiaoer said that the cities north of Jizhou are short of salt, and the official government has very little salt, and the amount distributed to the homes of the common people is simply not enough.People can only buy private salt at high prices.So the cost of cooking naturally has to include the price of salt.

People's life is so miserable, after a long time, it turned out that it all went into his father's pocket.

No, it should have gone into the pocket of His Highness the Crown Prince.

No matter how courageous Ling Zhongqing is, she may keep a little bit of selfishness, but she never dares to fill her own pocket too much.The crown prince knows how much official salt is missing, and the prince knows how much private salt will be sold.

2.5 million taels of silver!This is definitely a huge sum.And that's not counting the money he made up with the money after he ran out of relief money.

There is a grand canal outside the city of Jizhou, which almost divides Beixiang Kingdom into two halves.Also because of this canal, Jizhou City has become an important city in Beixiang Kingdom.

All materials transported from the south to the northern cities will pass through Jizhou, be shipped upstream of Jizhou, and then go overland.And the capital of Beixiang Kingdom - Lingzhou City is located in the north of Jizhou, so almost all important materials will pass through Jizhou.

This is why Ling Zhongqing is so rich even though she is only a small prefect.

The official salt is usually transported from the coastal cities in the southeast, and is managed by the salt department.

I don't know what method Ling Zhongqing used to rob Yansi's goods.This has led to starting from Jizhou, except for the capital, almost all northern regions are short of salt.

Then he turned the official salt into private salt, sold it at a high price in his own name, and gave the money to the prince...

This is really hard for her father, he can do such a bad thing.

I'm afraid that if the emperor finds out, even if he has ten heads, it's not enough to chop off.

It doesn't matter if he dies, what matters is that she and her brother must not be implicated.
