Zuo Han was a timid person, so he did not dare to speak of this matter.
At this moment.
Peng Jie, the official in charge of the Chen Country's military, coldly snorted."Childish children can't achieve great things.”
After saying that, he raised his head and drank up the cup of corn wine in his hand.
Everyone fell silent.
No matter how much they looked down on Chen Wei, they would not openly say such treasonous words.
However, Peng Jie didn't mention who it was.
He was just secretly holding a grudge.
During this period of time, Jiang Yao had been put in an important position and was in charge of the grain security and the military.
Peng Jie could see him going to the main hall to discuss the war with Chen Wei from time to time.
That Jiang Yao was just a Sikou.
How could he be put in such an important position?
On the contrary, he, a Sima physician, was being neglected by the monarch. How could he not be angry?
A grain officer was a lucrative position.
Cai Wu coughed twice and waved his sleeves.""Doctor Peng is drunk. Men, quickly prepare a room for him to rest.”
Peng Jie cursed as he was helped away by a few servants.
Cai Wu smiled." Although the monarch is young, his actions are very unexpected. I believe everyone has seen the things that the monarch's residence sells in the market, right?”
"Is Doctor Cai talking about that soap?”
"That's right." Cai Wu nodded.
When they heard about soap, everyone started discussing again.
"This item is very useful. Everyone in my residence can't leave it every day.”
"Not only can it cleanse the body, but it also leaves behind a fragrance.”
"I heard that the national government set up the soap production company because the emperor selected maidservants and manservants from the harem to make them.”
Everyone was talking one after another, and it was very chaotic.
Seeing this, Cai Wu coughed again, and everyone fell silent again.
"Doctor Cao, you are the prime minister, and you are in charge of the internal affairs of the national team. Tell me, what's going on with this soap company?”
Cao Jing stood up with a frown.
"To be honest, the king did not discuss this with me when he established the soap company.”
The moment he said this, everyone was stunned at first, then they all became puzzled.
Cao Jing added,"I don't know anything about the materials and process of making this soap.”
"Moreover, the profits from selling soap in the soap store have never passed through my account.”
Cai Wu's face sank." The war at the front line has been tense recently. I was wondering how the monarch's manor managed to purchase such a large amount of grain. So that's the reason."”
Cao Jing nodded, agreeing with Cai Wu.
It seemed that the source of the frontlines 'military pay was the money earned from selling this soap.
At this moment.
Only then did everyone realize that every family had already contributed to the front line.
Every few days, they would go to the market to buy a large amount of soap. It turned out that all of it was taken advantage of by the monarch's residence.
Cai Wu carefully twiddled his beard, his face gloomy.
……
Several hours later, the sky gradually darkened.
The banquet ended and the nobles left.
Cai Wu summoned Cao Jing and Sikong Zuohan.
"May I know why Situ Cai has summoned us?”Zuo Han asked.
"Doctor Cao, Doctor Zuo, please sit.”
Cai Wu smiled and said," The monarch has privately established the soap company and enjoyed the profits alone. He used it to support the front line, but neglected us. What do you think?"”
After hearing Cai Wu's words.
Cao Jing and Zuo Han looked at each other and were stunned.
"Situ Cai, what do you mean?”Zuo Han asked with a smile.
"Haha, I don't mean anything else, but…"
Cai Wu looked outside the door and dismissed the servants, telling them to close the door.
"The Ruler is still young, and our duty is to assist him. Now that he has made a mistake, how can we ignore him?”
"Zaojiao Company has a bright future with such a huge fortune. Why don't the three of us join hands…"
"Please think of a way to help him take charge of the Soapthorn Company so that the national government can allocate money to support the war?”
At this moment.
Cao Jing and Zuo Han instantly understood…
Cai Situ's eyes were red with envy when he saw Zaojiao Si's daily income.
"I wonder…what plans does Situ Cai have?" Zuo Han coughed twice.”
" I have my own plan." Cai Wu smiled as he stroked his beard." The three of us will work together to send a message to all the distinguished families in the city to stop buying soap from the monarch's manor.”
He was full of pride.
Cai, Zuo, Peng and Cao,
He was the head of a prominent family in the State of Chen, holding a famous ox.
It was impossible for them not to listen to Cai Wu's words.
"As long as the soap in the king's mansion can't be sold, where can the king make money?”
"The war at the front line cannot be stopped even for a day. If the military pay cannot be transported to the front line, what do the two of you think?”
Cai Wu's words reminded Zuo Han and Cao Jing.
"I see." The two of them nodded in understanding.
"If I can control the soap company, the profits…"
Cai Wu didn't need to say anything else.
Cao Jing chuckled." Situ Cai, you're a wise man. You must show that young monarch that without you, Situ Cai, he can't do a single thing!"”
Hearing this, Cai Wu was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"That's right, that's right. With a wave of Situ Cai's arm, the famous sects from all over the world will definitely respond!”Zuo Han also flattered.
"But…"
Cao Jing thought for a while,"Do I need to tell Peng Sima about this?"”
Cai Wu thought for a moment." He's in my residence right now. You two go back first. I'll tell him tomorrow."”
"Alright, since that's the case, the two of us won't disturb you anymore.”
Zuo Han and Cao Jing immediately stood up and bowed before leaving the Cai Residence.
After that, Cai Wu narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment before calling over a few trusted aides in the residence.
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a few letters were written from the Cai Manor and sent to the servants to pass them on to all the distinguished families in the city.
As long as the king's manor couldn't sell soap, they wouldn't have the money to buy the grain needed for war.
Chen Wei would naturally ask Cai Wu for help.
