    "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

    Du Ziteng was overjoyed. His current military pay for a month was only three guans. He would never be able to earn these one thousand taels in his lifetime!

    "I was watching the mountain scenery from the city tower, and I heard a commotion outside the city. Flags were fluttering in the air, but it turned out to be soldiers sent by Sima. I also sent someone to inquire, and after inquiring, Sima led the troops and headed west."

    Liu Deng felt happy. In the past thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, he was finally looking forward to going to Hexi. He had been bullied by King Wu's father and son for so long, and now he can finally stand up.  .

    Looking at the money flowing in like a tide in this warehouse, Liu Deng felt extremely happy.

    He hummed "The Empty City Strategy" with joy. After dinner, Liu Deng went to bed early. Since he had decided to have more in-depth contact with the prince, he naturally couldn't hide the next thing from Chao Cuo.

    After getting the money, Liu Xian moved really quickly. The 60,000 stones of refined salt and 50,000 stones of coarse salt in Liu Deng's hands were all in Liu Xian's hands in less than two days.

    That night, both sides were celebrating. Liu Xian specially invited all the seven princes and kings and the shopkeepers of all the shops in Jinyang.

    Together with several big businessmen in the city who were close to them, everyone was filled with joy.

    At least for three months, even the imperial court would not be able to support Liu Deng with more salt.

    ??This salt has been accumulated for decades in Dai Kingdom, and now it is all in their hands.

    According to Dai's technological level, if Liu Deng wanted to meet domestic needs, it would take at least five years to produce a year's worth of salt, and it was still the lowest-grade coarse salt.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out if the whole country eats this kind of food, I am afraid that within two years, the disease will be rampant throughout the country.

    "Your Highness, we are really going to make a fortune this time. The whole country is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. All this is due to you!"

    Zhao Tingfang held a wine glass in his hand and said to Liu Xian happily.

    "That's right, all of this is due to His Highness the Crown Prince. If it weren't for His Highness the Crown Prince, how could we dare to do such a big thing?"

    "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise. Our King has also sent word that all business affairs from now on will be at the disposal of His Highness the Crown Prince. When you tell us when to deliver the goods, we will deliver the goods!"

    "Speaking of these merchant affairs, you are all my seniors, Liu Xian. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to do such a big thing! I think, starting from tomorrow, we should have a place in this country.  Got it!"

    Liu Xian is very satisfied. At this time, even though none of the kings are present, there is already a vague trend that he is the leader.

    As long as this trend continues, among the seven countries, the status of Wu will naturally be half a step higher than them.

    "What His Highness the Crown Prince said makes sense. I wonder what His Highness the Crown Prince thinks. When will we start shipping goods?"

    Looking at Liu Xian talking about him, Zhao Tingfang asked cautiously.

    Everyone pricked up their ears. This was their biggest concern. At this time, each of them had at least hundreds of thousands of stones of salt in their hands.

    ¡°These things were all bought by themselves with real money. When will they be able to turn them into silver again? This is their biggest concern.

    "I think it depends on our acting king, when he can surrender to us, and then we will decide when to bulk up!"

    With a smile on Liu Xian's lips, he picked up the wine cup and raised his glass to all around. Everyone quickly picked up the wine glass and drank together with a wild laugh.

    Being able to force a prince to bow to them, for these merchants, this is the most proud thing in their lives!

    After this thing is really done, this one thing will be enough for them to show off for the rest of their lives.

    While they were celebrating, Liu Deng also held a banquet in the palace, and he invited all the officials of the country.

    The seats are still the same as last time, except that Tian Chong and Sun Deyi are missing among the people present.

    Chao Cuo was sitting under Liu Deng. He came this time only on behalf of the crown prince and was not considered a formal envoy. Naturally, his seating arrangement was not as strict as last time.

    "Come on, everyone, let's drink this cup together!"

    Liu Deng laughed wildly and raised his glass. This? Everyone's tables were filled with chicken, duck, and fish, and a maid was kneeling next to everyone.

    We are ready to add wine to them at any time, and the whole hall is filled with the aroma of wine.

    Compared with the last time, it was completely different. Looking at the table full of dishes, Chao Cuo felt as if he was in another world.

    It was only now that he realized that Liu Deng, this little bastard, had made a fool of himself last time!

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid everyone in this country is watching their own joke!

    When he thought of this, he remembered the smell of wild vegetables that night. After returning home, he was quite nauseated all night, and the horrible drink. This guy is really not a good thing!

    It¡¯s a pity that after I went back, I still ran around about his affairs and talked for a long time. Damn it, I was tricked by him!

    "Your Majesty, I really can't drink it. The people in this city don't have overnight salt at home. At this time, we are living and drinking here"

    I have to say that the team left by Liu Deng, a cheap dad, is quite reliable.

    "Perhaps it is also because it is still the early years of the Han Dynasty, officials have not yet reached the stage of government failure, and the atmosphere in the officialdom is relatively clean, so this phenomenon occurs.

    But Liu Deng was very happy about this. After someone took the lead, almost everyone put down their wine glasses, and everyone's face was filled with sadness.

    Everyone¡¯s heart is heavy, what should we do?

    There is no longer a grain of salt in the Kingdom of Dai. Unless they take the risk of offending the seven princes and kings and forcibly confiscate the salt they purchased, they will have no choice but to be slaughtered.

    No matter what sky-high price those people offer, they can only hold their noses and accept it.

    But the problem is that this generation of country is really small and the people are poor. Even the food produced domestically is just barely enough to satisfy the hunger.

    "If it weren't for the surrounding princes and kings, as well as the imperial court, who provide some financial support every year, I'm afraid that even the military rations for the garrison would not be able to be solved.

    If there really is a falling out, how should we deal with the food crisis in Dai country after this?

    This is basically a dilemma. If at the beginning, Liu Deng could control those people to gather together, there might be a way to break the situation, but now it is hard to get back.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
