Chapter 61 How about cheating them?

In the palace, Ying Zheng looked at the three people 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?

You actually want to get a 50% share of the snow salt you make, after taking the official route?

Xiao He was also muttering secretly.

If you take the official route, the cost of one tael of salt will probably be controlled within two copper coins.

When the time comes, you only sell five copper plates, and you make more than half of it!

It seems that salt production is really a hugely profitable industry.

"Liu Bai!"

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

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

"My son is here. Father, please tell me!"

"Salt is a sharp weapon for the country. Since you have improved it, then offer it to it!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded like thunder in Liu Bai's ears.

'Forehead drops, forehead drops, all forehead drops...'

It's too much, it's too much!

"Of course I have to offer it, otherwise I wouldn't come to you! But Father, you also know that there are so many things that I do that require money, this..."

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

Fusu laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this and started again.

You edit it, I listen.

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

"Although our Daqin law clearly stipulates that illegal salt sales are not allowed, due to the protection of various aristocratic families, illegal salt sales have been banned repeatedly."

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

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

Seller and aristocratic family.

"After the school is built, people everywhere will have books to read, and outstanding people can join our Great Qin Dynasty as officials. This policy was set by my father. In the future, they will naturally look to you for your obedience. This is to defeat the family in terms of knowledge.

"Nowadays, aristocratic families rely on their intertwined connections. If their connections are gone, their foundation will also fall. In this way..."

Before he finished speaking, Ying Zheng rubbed his brow and waved his hand to stop what he was saying.

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

If you continue talking, I am afraid that eating this salt will make people immortal, right?

Liu Bai's face fell instantly after being interrupted.

Even your father wouldn't be tempted by such a huge benefit?

Turning his eyes slightly, it seems that there is only one way left, and that is a price war!

"How about four or six points? I only need 40%..."

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

Are you really not planning to give it to me?

"Sanqi..."

A furtive glance revealed that Ying Zheng was still the same as before, not even moving his hair.

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

"Twenty-eight, I only account for 20%. Father, I can't..."

"good!"

Listening to Ying Zheng's crisp voice, Liu Bai raised his head in shock, and suddenly had a hint of enlightenment in his heart.

Am I... falling into a trap?

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 from it..."

Ying Zheng thought slightly.

Although this prince-in-law talks a lot, it is not unreasonable.

If this snow salt really goes on the market, it will be a blow to the family.

"I will send an order immediately. They will come to you tomorrow. I am tired, please retreat!"

"Yes, I, your minister/caomin, resign!"

After exiting the palace, Liu Bai stared at Fusu with that resentful look.

Fusu pretended not to see it and talked quietly with Xiao He.

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

Why were you so restless and fell into your father’s trap?

But it doesn’t matter, earning 20% is not too little.

…

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

"Consort, the eldest son is here with General Wang Li and Salt Officer Sima Chang..."

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

"Quickly invite people to the front hall to serve tea. I will be there soon."

"yes!"

After putting on my clothes and washing my face, I walked into the front hall and saw three people chatting happily.

Seeing him come in, Wang Li stood up first and bowed down.

"Thank you very much for the gift of medicine from your consort!"

"Hey, General Wang, please get up quickly, you should, you should!"

When he stood up, Liu Bai looked up and down and couldn't help but praise in his heart, what a spirited young man!

Wang Li also smiled warmly towards 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 stunned for a moment and then asked.

"I don't know about Lord Sima's ancestors, but my great Qin general Sima Cuo?"

Sima Cuo, the eighth generation ancestor of Sima Qian, served successively as King Huiwen of Qin, King Wu of Qin, and King Zhaoxiang of Qin. He was called a veteran of the three dynasties, and was comparable to the four famous generals of the Warring States Period.

The "Qin Rui Shi" who is now killing all over the world and becoming famous all over the world was trained by Shang Yang by learning from his military training methods.

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

"Unfilial descendants will dishonor the reputation of their ancestors!"

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

Wang Li chuckled at the side.

"Your Majesty ordered me to lead troops to guard it. Don't worry, the eldest son and the consort, not a single bird will be able to fly in by then!"

After all, he is Wang Jian's grandson, so Liu Bai is still very relieved about him.

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

"Lord Sima, what's the difficulty?"

Shaking his head, Sima Chang spoke.

"It is not difficult to hand over the salt wells in Shu to the prince-in-law, but the difficulty is along the coast."

"Nowadays, those who make sea salt appear to be just ordinary salt sellers, but in fact they are closely related to various aristocratic families. If they are forcibly driven away, I am afraid..."

Liu Bai understood his worries.

Nowadays, the court is almost controlled by aristocratic families. If they are really offended, the consequences will be disastrous...

Rolling his eyes, do you want to find a way to trick them?

"Lord Sima, how about this? We won't go to the coast for now and just make salt in Shu. How about that?"

Sima Chang's face suddenly turned worried and he nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, I'll go handle the relevant matters now."

In just two days, all the procedures were completed.

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

Also accompanying him were the fifty eagle guards sent by Liu Bai. Without them, he felt a little uneasy.

On this day, Liu Bai was taking a nap in his mansion, when Yuhuatian appeared quietly.

"Master!"

"how?"
