Chapter 86 Are you crazy?

The old man looked up and saw that the man in front was looking at him fiercely.

Look at the clothes of the three of them, they look like noble people!

"Three noble men, do you have any orders?"

Zhang Han looked at Ying Zheng and said.

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

The old man looked at his appearance and suddenly became anxious.

The adults in the salt shop are good people!

Although he was indeed a little frightened at first, the result was good!

Where can I buy cheap and good snow salt in this world today?

If these people are looking for trouble, can the shop still be open?

Then I thought again, that’s not right!

That shop is owned by members of the royal family, so these people shouldn't dare to look for 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 caught by them? Did the owner buy and sell by force?"

The old man chuckled.

"It turns out that this is what you are asking about! At first, the old man saw that the shop was owned by the royal family, so he did not dare to go in for fear of getting into trouble. But later, it was thanks to the young general that he caught the old man in, otherwise how could he buy it so cheaply?

Where’s the good salt?”

After that, he reached out and took out the paper package from his arms, opened it and showed it to them.

"Look, this salt is as white as snow. The old man has tasted it. It's neither bitter nor astringent. It's much more delicious than our coarse salt! The royal family only sells this snow salt for three coppers per tael. It's comparable to

The salt that kills a thousand people is sold much cheaper! Would you like to try it, noble man?"

Zhang Han glanced at Ying Zheng and saw him nodding.

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

Wrapping the salt carefully 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 was very satisfied with this private visit incognito!

Although he was quite critical of Liu Bai's methods, the results were still very good.

…

In the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Sir, I bought it, please take a look!"

Feng Quji took the paper bag from the servant's hand, pinched two salts and put them into his mouth.

After tasting it carefully, I came to a conclusion.

Their sea salt business may not be successful.

Sitting on the chair and sighing, Feng Quji couldn't figure it out.

How did he offend Liu Bai, and why did he always oppose him?

He worked so hard to get rid of the Zhao Party, but he finally said a few words, and now the assessments in various counties are in full swing.

It is estimated that in a few days, they will gather in Xianyang and have His Majesty personally select officials.

Although he used some tricks and placed a few of his own people, compared with the original recommendation list, it was just a drop in the bucket.

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

Now it's good, people have directly entered the salt industry.

The salt produced is good, but the price is so low.

Even if he ate it, he couldn't eat the salt anymore, let alone the 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, he turned around and asked the housekeeper.

"No one's here yet?"

Just as the housekeeper was about to reply, the boy outside the door came to report.

"Master, the head of the Yi family is here!"

"Oh...please come in!"

"yes!"

The Yi family moved from the State of Lu to Yi Di (Linyi, Yuncheng, Shanxi Province) in the early Warring States Period. They started from animal husbandry and established themselves in the salt industry.

According to legend, he has become one of the most wealthy merchants in the Qin State, and is naturally the largest salt dealer in the Qin Dynasty.

If the business reaches this level, there must be someone in the court.

The person they chose to cooperate was Feng Quji.

"Prime Minister, you are well and well!"

Yishan swayed her chubby body and squeezed through the door.

"Master Yi looks good!"

Feng Quji smiled strongly and started fighting with him.

Yishan knew him very well, and he could tell something was wrong just by meeting him face to face.

"Why are you in trouble, Prime Minister? Don't be polite, just give us your orders. Our Yi family will help you!"

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

"Master Yi, Haiyan's business..."

Halfway through, he was interrupted by Yishan waving his hand.

"Prime Minister, don't you feel at ease when I do things?"

Feng Quji shook his head.

"What I'm talking about is not about shipping, but I want you to stop the Haiyan business!"

Yishan's expression changed drastically and he asked coldly.

"I wonder what Prime Minister means?"

Most of their family's income comes from sea salt. You want me to stop with just this sentence?

If you keep talking, you should at least give a reason, right?

He took out the paper bag containing snow salt, opened it and placed it in front of Yishan.

"Master Yi, give it a try!"

Yishan glanced at Feng Quji, and then looked at the paper bag in front of him.

He reached out his hand, pinched a little, and stuffed it into his mouth.

After a moment, his eyes lit up.

"Okay, Prime Minister, you have produced such high-quality salt, 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 trying to get money?

"After the Master of the Yi family arrived in the imperial capital, he didn't look around? Didn't he inquire?"

Yishan looked at him inexplicably.

"You were so urgent. I was afraid something big would happen, so I came directly to the house."

Okay, whatever you say makes sense, right?

Not bothering to argue with him anymore, Feng Quji directly talked about the business.

"This thing is called snow salt. It was made by the consort of the dynasty, and he is selling it now!"

"Consort? Yangzi Consort? Is that the mud-legged guy who soared into the sky?"

Feng Quji rolled his eyes at him.

"Be careful what you say, who else is there besides him? I am the only consort in Da Qin now!"

Yishan stroked the tea cup with one hand, his little mouse eyes rolling around.

After a while, he stood up and gave a big gift to Feng Quji, which shocked him.

"Master Yi, what are you doing?"

Yishan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted it twice.

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

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

Seeing him like this, Feng Quji suddenly understood.

Pushing away the handed box, he sneered.

"You want me to help you win over Yang Zi's consort? Haha, he has handed this thing over to His Majesty, and His Majesty gave him instructions to manage it. The head of the Yi family would like to tell you how to get through this relationship?"

After hearing this, Yishan sat on the chair in a daze.

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

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

After various countries went to war, salt traders like them also became active.

By the time the world was unified, the power of salt traders had already become entangled with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and could not be controlled at all. The imperial court could only turn a blind eye.

But now, with the appearance of this snow salt, their coarse salt has no way to survive without the court's intervention.

unless……

"Prime Minister, I wonder how much this snow salt will cost?"

Feng Quji thought to himself, you have got the point right.

"Three coppers and one tael!"

What?

Yishan couldn't figure it out. Are these people crazy?
