Not far away, the First Emperor was furious as he looked at the arrogant Jin Yiwei.

The Jin Yiwei were Ying Yu's subordinates. He knew without even thinking that this must be Ying Yu's order.

"It's really unreasonable. This kid is getting more and more arrogant."

"It's okay to arrest the salt merchants, but force the people to buy salt. What does he think?"

Although only the government can sell coarse salt in Daqin, there are also some vendors who sell salt privately.

Behind these people, without exception, are some wealthy and powerful nobles.

The forces involved were complex, and the court turned a blind eye as long as the market was not disrupted.

"Master, please calm down. Gong Ziyu is not a reckless person. He will definitely not do this without any reason."

Seeing that the First Emperor was angry, Wang Jian quickly opened his mouth to defend Ying Yu.

It's just that Wang Jian himself didn't believe what he said. This grandson-in-law really doesn't make people worry.

This method of forced buying and selling was beyond his imagination.

The First Emperor snorted coldly:

"I think he is crazy. As a prince who oversees the country, isn't he afraid of being criticized by the Confucian scholars for doing this?"

The First Emperor personally experienced the power of Confucian scholars.

These Confucian scholars, no matter what your purpose is.

As long as there is something unreasonable, it will become the target of their criticism.

The First Emperor knew the consequences of Ying Yu's actions without even thinking about it.

It is estimated that it won't be long before Confucian scholars all over the world will use this as an excuse to criticize him.

After thinking about it, the First Emperor suddenly froze.

I saw countless people running after the carriage pulling salt.

What is going on?

"My lord, please have mercy and sell me some more salt."

"Yes, sir, this is the first time I have seen such good salt. Please be kind and sell me some more."

"I have never seen such cheap salt in my life. No, I have to buy more today, otherwise what should I do if I can't buy it in the future?"

"Yes, Mr. Yu is a good man. Such good salt was sold to me at such a cheap price."

"Yes, compared to Master Yu, those salt merchants are simply black-hearted robbers."

Seeing more and more people, Qinglong felt helpless and jumped directly onto the carriage, shouting loudly:

"My fellow villagers, there is no need to do this. Master Jian Guoyu said that a royal trading house will be established in a few days...

This fine salt will be sold in the store, and the quality and quantity will be guaranteed, and the price will not change."

After Qinglong shouted, the number of people not only did not decrease, but increased in number.

Because they simply don't believe it.

In the eyes of the people, no matter what you say, they will believe it only when the facts are in front of them.

They didn't see the so-called royal trading house.

But this salt, which is as white as snow, is actually right in front of you.

And the selling price is so cheap, they naturally won't let it go, and want to buy more, for fear that they will never be able to buy it again.

Seeing this, the First Emperor glanced at Wang Ben beside him and said coldly:

"Why are you still standing here? Why don't you quickly mobilize troops to help?"

What the hell, dispatch troops to help?

Didn’t you just say that you wanted to take care of Mr. Yu?

Are you going to help now?

Wang Ben looked at the First Emperor and went to mobilize his troops helplessly.

After a while, groups of black-armored guards appeared on the street and began to maintain order.

"I want to have fun with the people today, so let's go and line up."

The First Emperor looked at the excited people around him, not to mention how comfortable he felt.

"Your Majesty, this place is full of fish and dragons. Let's not go there."

Seeing His Majesty the First Emperor who was a little eager to try, Zhang Han quickly spoke out to dissuade him.

"What are you afraid of? This is Xianyang City. Who dares to do anything bad to me?"

The First Emperor snorted coldly and walked toward the crowd, minding his own business.

Zhang Han quickly followed, thinking that they were all disguised and would not be recognized at all.

Moreover, there are secret guards from Heibingtai following him around, and there are so many guards in royal robes on the surface, so I guess nothing will happen.

Originally, Zhang Han planned to forcefully jump in line, but was stopped by a look from the First Emperor.

After about a quarter of an hour, it was finally the First Emperor's turn.

"Here you go, this is your salt. Go over there and pay five and a half taels."

On the carriage, the guard in charge of distributing salt handed the First Emperor a small bag of salt without even raising his head, and then got busy again.

"This little brother, this salt is so good, why is it sold so cheaply?"

"There is also such a practice of forced buying and selling. Which Master Guoyu proposed it?"

"Isn't he afraid that His Majesty will punish him if he does this?"

After the First Emperor took the salt, he asked three questions in a series.

The busy Jin Yiwei glanced at the First Emperor and others in surprise.

Nowadays, among the common people in Xianyang City, who wouldn't dare call them "Guan Ye" after seeing them wearing flying fish clothes?

This man called him little brother as soon as he came up and asked such questions.

There is something wrong with this person. There is definitely something wrong with this person.

Ordinary people would never ask such a question, and looking at this person's clothes and demeanor, they are definitely not ordinary people.

People who are not ordinary people come to line up to buy salt. What is the purpose?

Thinking of this, the Jin Yiwei winked at his companions.

Several Jinyi guards around him understood and gathered around without leaving any trace.

At this time, Zhang Han, who was following the First Emperor, also realized that something was wrong and quickly stood in front of the First Emperor.

At the same time, with a wave of his hand, the guards of the Black Ice Platform hidden in the dark were already ready to take action.

Seeing that the two sides were about to take action, at this critical moment, a violent roar came:

"What are you doing? Why don't you quickly distribute salt to the people?"

The person who spoke was none other than Qinglong.

Qinglong, as soon as he turned around after appeasing the people, he saw this scene that frightened him.

Others don't know His Majesty the First Emperor, but as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, how could he not know him?

After yelling, Qinglong walked over quickly: "Hurry up and go."

Several Jinyi guards looked at the livid commander, but hesitated to speak.

Qinglong snorted coldly, then quickly turned around and bowed to the First Emperor.

"How offended I am, I hope you won't get along with them."

Although Qinglong knew the First Emperor, he did not reveal the First Emperor's identity in public.

The First Emperor was very satisfied with this. As for why Qinglong knew him, the First Emperor said he was not surprised at all.

The Jinyiwei monitors all officials in the world. As the commander-in-chief, if Qinglong doesn't even recognize himself as the emperor, then the ability of the Jinyiwei is questionable.

"Well, you go down."

Qinglong saw that the First Emperor had no intention of blaming him, and his heart was relieved.

After cupping his fists and saluting, he quickly retreated.

"Let's go and join the Eastern Patrol Army."
