"How much salt do you have stored there now?"
Liu Deng touched his nose and asked.
"As of today, there are already sixty-seven thousand stones!"
When talking about storing salt, Zhang Tu immediately became excited. The king's method of making salt is really fast, and it doesn't require much labor. As long as the pool is built, there will be enough for three to two thousand people. It¡¯s operational!
"Why is this so? You guys need to speed up!"
Liu Deng thought about it and then said.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, Your Majesty, in three more days, we can produce 3,000 stones a day!¡±
Zhang Tu said with confidence.
¡°That¡¯s very good, then I¡¯ll have Mr. Lao Taifu!¡±
After hearing the news, Liu Deng no longer had any intention of drinking. He and Zhang Tu discussed countermeasures in the study while eating.
After discussing in secret for more than an hour in the study, Zhang Tu turned around and left. He didn't even return home and went directly back to the salt production site.
But this time, Zhang Tu was followed by someone as soon as he left the palace gate. Two men in black followed Zhang Tu to the vicinity of the Salt Lake. They originally wanted to follow him to find out, but when they saw those holding torches , the soldiers with bright helmets could only stop.
"Head, why do I think there is something wrong with this situation? Isn't there the Salt Lake in front of me? What is this old boy doing here? Do they have some conspiracy!"
"You stay here, I will go back and report to His Highness the Crown Prince now!"
The leader of the men in black hesitated for a moment, and then said to his companions.
"I obey my orders!"
The leader of the men in black nodded, turned around and left, heading straight for Wang Shengzhi's mansion.
"You said Zhang Tu went to the Salt Lake, and there were soldiers guarding him along the way?"
This surprised Liu Xian. What on earth is this old guy playing?
"Your Majesty, is it possible that the old man is stepping up his efforts to make salt now? However, salt is not so easy to make. Even if he can get so many materials and people, where can he find so many capable people? Where is the old salt worker who keeps the salt mother?"
Yang Sheng stroked his goatee and said from the side.
"I always feel that this matter is not that simple, but I can't figure it out now. What other tricks can this old thing come up with now?"
Liu Xian said hesitantly.
¡°Tell me, is that old guy bluffing so that Liu Deng¡¯s guys can talk to you?¡±
Yang Sheng said after considering it.
"Forget it, pass on the order and send more people to pay attention there. It would be best if you can sneak in. If you really can't sneak in, there is no need to alert the snake. Just let him play whatever tricks he likes, no matter what he does. , I don¡¯t believe it can produce salt out of thin air, has the money sent by my father arrived?¡±
"The king sent someone to send 800,000 taels of silver, which should be enough for us. I heard that the King of Chu also sent 500,000 taels, and several other princes also sent more or less. The hundreds of thousands of taels that came, I¡¯m afraid the total amount is three to four million!¡±
Yang Sheng replied quickly.
"If we count all together, our total investment would be tens of millions. I don't believe how long that bastard Liu Deng can last!"
Liu Xian said fiercely.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise! I also thought that Liu Deng could only last two or three days at most!"
"Sir, guess how long he can stand outside the door if he comes to the door again this time?"
When Liu Xian said this, a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Isn't it up to the Crown Prince's will? I think after this, His Highness the Acting King should finally understand who is the boss among the princes and kings!"
Yang Sheng said with a sinister smile on the side.
"Sir, what you said makes sense. Please go down and make preparations. I think Liu Deng should be here the day after tomorrow at the latest. This time we have to prepare some good wine and food to entertain the acting king. Your Highness!"
Liu Xian said proudly.
"No!"
After Yang Sheng finished speaking, he turned around and went out to start working on himself.
In the next two days, Liu Xian was in a great mood.
News came from all over the country that the salt in the city was sold out. The thirst for salt in the entire Dai Kingdom was now at its extreme. The people could not buy the salt to eat, or occasionally there were profiteers.If you sell it, the price will be astronomical.
Some people even raised the price of coarse salt to as high as a pound. When he heard the news, Liu Xian was extremely proud.
"Your Highness, Liu Deng finally can't bear it anymore. He just sent an order to open the official warehouse and put salt in it!"
Today is the seventeenth day of the salt ban in Jinyang City, and Liu Xian finally got the news he had been waiting for.
"Send someone out immediately and buy it for me at a high price. Even if it's just a pound of your usual money, I want it all!"
Liu Xian said fiercely.
"No! Liu Deng is too naive. The little stuff in his official warehouse will probably be emptied by us in one day!"
Yang Sheng said proudly.
"This matter is really annoying, Mr. Lao. I think His Highness, the Acting King, should be here tonight!"
¡°Don¡¯t worry, Your Highness, we will definitely entertain His Highness the Acting King tonight!¡±
"Hahahaha, please sir, please prepare more programs for this acting king!"
Liu Xian and Yang Sheng looked at each other and smiled, finally letting go of their bad temper!
"The king is in trouble. I just received news that the merchants from Wu State sent people to mingle among the people and buy the salt that the people just received for a pound of money!"
Not long after he got up this morning, Liu Deng was still in a fugue state. He was hesitating whether it was better to drink fish soup or mutton soup this morning. Du Ziteng ran in from outside and said.
"What's all the fuss about? Go and give me the order in person now and tell those people that no matter who buys salt, as long as they have the same amount of money as their debut, they can sell it to me as much as they buy!"
Liu Deng suddenly became energetic. This Liu Xian is really wise. He originally thought that 800 Wen would be enough, but this guy actually made a lot of money when he debuted. Isn't this giving him money?
"But Your Majesty, if this happens, what will the people do?"
Du Ziteng was stunned. If he really did this, wouldn't all the salt in the country be monopolized by these profiteers?
"Just do whatever I ask you to do. How come there is so much nonsense? If you continue to talk nonsense, go out and get 50 lashes from me!"
Liu Deng simply rolled his eyes. This guy is doing his old habit again. Isn¡¯t this just a matter of taking carrots and not worrying?
You said that you, a little bodyguard, just do your job well, why are you thinking blindly all day long?
¡°Young one, I know my guilt, I¡¯m going to go now¡±
??????? Du Ziteng reacted immediately, he had made the same old habit again
"Master Qi, we are going to Jinyang soon. Should we rest for a while before we continue our journey?"
Just when Liu Deng ordered a large-scale sale of salt, Chao Cuo finally rushed back to Jinyang City again (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
