Dongzhou's salt collection exceeded its budget by nearly three million.

The Great Wei Dynasty sent salt to Dongzhou and gave kickbacks to salt collectors.

To King Xiao Wenmao of Qi, this statement was as terrifying as a bolt from the blue.

Guo Jingyi shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Regardingly speaking, the salt path in the Great Wei territory has been cut off. It is true that so much salt should not appear, but now the facts are in front of us, we have to pay attention to it."

Xiao Wenmao walked in the study, browsing deeply, and then thought, and pondered: "You think this is Xiao Zhenghan's method? Bai Jiangheng sent someone to deliver a letter and said that Xiao Zhenghan did not intend to attack Dongzhou, but was preparing to defend Qingzhou and Liba Haiyan.

Dry the base and wait for work.”

"But when Qingzhou and Liba produce salt, it will probably be until mid-next year. Everything will be going well. I will not send anyone to destroy their salt land."

"So there is no edible salt in the territory of the Great Wei. Did Xiao Zhenghan deliberately make a fuss and take risks, making me mistakenly think that there is still a lot of salt in the territory of the Great Wei, and then sell it at a low price to stop the loss in time?"

Xiao Wenmao thought about it and felt that the chance of Emperor Wei playing tricks was relatively high.

Thinking of this, he was not panicked.

"this......"

Guo Jingyi said silly, with a deep brow, "I am not afraid to make arbitrary assertions, but whether it is true or false, we cannot collect this salt anymore. Stop collecting salt first and send someone to Jinling City in detail

After inquiring, it’s not too late to make plans.”

"If Xiao Zhenghan is really bluffing, it will be not too late for us to counterattack. It is not easy for our Qi Prince Mansion to accumulate so much of the family. If something happens, we will suffer a heavy blow."

Nowadays, Guo Jingyi cannot judge the situation in the Great Wei Dynasty.

If this is really a bluffing method of Emperor Wei, Guo Jingyi has to admire Emperor Wei's courage and courage.

Xiao Wenmao nodded and agreed: "Sir, I will send an order immediately, suspend salt collection, and re-inventory. When news comes from the direction of Jinling City, it is not too late for us to make plans."

Guo Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to him, "The prince is wise."

What he was most satisfied with after Xiao Wenmao for so many years was that Xiao Wenmao was obedient enough.

Otherwise, the Qi Palace would not have saved up such a wealthy family.

But for some reason, he always had an ominous premonition.

He felt that in the ruthless storm that swept across the Great Wei, there was a faint force staring at everyone in secret.

This was the first time he felt like he was forced to enter the game and was allowed to control the situation.

Guo Jingyi hopes that this feeling is fake.

If this feeling is true, it is not only the Qi Palace, but many people will be in trouble.

......

Pingzhou.

Governor's Office.

lobby.

Yu Mingxuan, the governor of Pingzhou, sat upright and looked through the account book.

He also looked at the salt collection account with confusion.

After collecting salt for more than four months, the salt from the Great Wei Dynasty was still in a constant stream, one after another.

But Yu Mingxuan was smart enough that when he had a budget of over 500,000, he stopped collecting salt.

To abandon narrow victory and seek unbeatable, and to seek victory in a steady manner are Yu Mingxuan's always conduct principles.

moment.

A man in strong clothes walked into the hall and bowed: "Report to the Grand Governor, some of his mistakes have been found."

This person is Han Chen, the head of Yu Mingxuan Intelligence Pavilion.

He was the commander of the Crown Prince's Mansion in the previous dynasty.

After Xiao Zhenghan successfully fought for the throne, he and the remaining princess fled to Pingzhou and joined Yu Mingxuan's disciples.

Yu Mingxuan had thick eyebrows and straight eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Speak!"

Han Chen frowned and responded: "Recently, many mysterious merchants suddenly appeared in the Great Wei territory, all with sufficient coarse salt in their hands. Bei Zhi found that the salt they sold was almost the same."

"Not only that, some people sold salt to major families of the Great Wei under the name of the Great Governor's brother-in-law, or the name of the Pingzhou Governor's Mansion and the Dongzhou Qi Palace."

"Now, we are even more kickbacks for salt vendors in Pingzhou and Dongzhou, so that they can collect salt vigorously! During this period, the price of salt has dropped a lot."

Yu Mingxuan stood up instantly with a pale face, "This is actually happening!? This is really strange. The Great Wei salt road was cut off, but it has a steady stream of coarse salt. This is almost impossible!"

"But all the signs at present indicate that there must be some secrets hidden in it, and there are secrets that may make us doomed."

As he said that, he looked at Han Chen and lowered his eyes and said, "Send the order and start to release salt to the Great Wei Dynasty, clear our inventory, and at least half of our investment. The governor can not make any money, but it is absolutely

You can't be cheated!"

"Second, continue to infiltrate into Jinling City and exchange information with the Qi Prince's Mansion. This governor wants to see what Xiao Zhenghan is doing!"

"Yes, the Grand Governor!" Han Chen bowed and then went out of the hall.

Yu Mingxuan couldn't help looking out of the hall.

This matter became more and more confused, as if there was a giant hand invisibly controlling everything.

......

Jinling City.

Bai Mansion, ancestral hall.

Bai Jiangheng was kneeling in front of his ancestor's spiritual position and praying for blessings.

He bet on everything in the Bai family. As long as this move is successful, the Bai family will struggle for five years and make a lot of money.

He realized that the turmoil in the Wei Dynasty had already appeared and disappeared.

In any case, Bai Jiangheng didn't think that Emperor Wei had any way to survive this crisis.

at the same time.

Liu Zijin, the butler of Bai Mansion, walked from outside the ancestral hall, "Master, the old slave has notified Hebei to stop collecting salt. We acted earlier, and collected nearly 1.2 million taels of coarse salt in total. Yu Mingxuan's brother-in-law and us

The relationship is good, and the salt was sold cheaply in the later period, so our average closing price was only 275 cents per pound."

"Although the salt price has dropped in the past few days, it still has about 330 cents."

Bai Jiangheng got up with joy on his face, "So good! So good! According to a certain family's opinion, the salt of the Great Wei Dynasty will be sold out in full this month. It has it in the hands of all major families, but no one will give it out.

, so the crisis may be ahead of schedule.”

"I want to see how His Majesty and Qin Yu survived this crisis! Isn't Qin Yu capable? It's horseshoe and ice makers, and they also force ministers to donate money and horses!"

"This crisis, some family will see who will help them! I'm really overestimating my ability!"

At this time, Bai Jiangheng was extremely happy.

He just wanted to see that Emperor Wei and Qin Yu were helpless and beg them for the old-fashioned time.

Liu Zijin nodded and agreed, "The master is right. You must not forget your roots in life. Your Majesty was able to successfully fight for the throne, but the master made great efforts."

"It's been less than three years since His Majesty wants to suppress the old school and the aristocratic families. It's a villain who breaks the bridge across the river!"
