Although Great Qin had already unified the world.
However, after a few years of war, especially when Wang Jian led 600,000 troops to destroy Chu, they had already spent a large amount of food.
Great Qin's treasury was not very rich.
And through Meng Fan's deduction, Ying Zheng also believed that the battle of the Southern Expedition of the Bai Yue would not end in a short time.
In the letter he sent to Xianyang, he emphasized that Li Si and Meng Yi should be prepared to send supplies to the south.
Therefore, Ying Zheng also needed money and food.
The business opportunity of selling salt was so huge that they naturally would not let go of the opportunity.
"Hehe, this is what you said, Old Zhao. 50% of the profit is not a small amount. Are you kidding me?”Meng Fan chuckled. He didn't expect Ying Zheng to be so generous.
Once his salt production method was implemented, he would definitely be able to crush the traditional salt merchants.
They even lowered the price of salt to seize the market.
In any case, he only needed salt and salt stones to extract salt of high purity. Just the cost alone was not something that ordinary salt merchants could compare to.
"I mean what I say!" Ying Zheng replied.”
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Meng Fan said as he pulled out his little bookkeeping book.
From the last page to a blank piece of paper, he picked up a pen and scribbled on it.
"Let's make a written agreement so that you won't deny it when we make money.”Meng Fan wrote as he spoke.
Ying Zheng was speechless.
The reason he gave up 50% was to ensure that Meng Fan, who was greedy for money, didn't pass on the refining technology to others. This was to ensure that he had complete control over the salt trade.
After all, with Meng Fan's personality, if someone offered a higher price, he might just turn around and sell himself.
Although Ying Zheng believed that there was no merchant in the world who dared to go against him.
But the temptation of money was fatal, not to mention Meng Fan's low cost refining technology.
What if there were really people who would rather have money than their lives?
What he didn't expect was that Meng Fan was worried that he would lie to him, and even wanted to write a contract...
"Alright, Old Zhao, just sign here and press your fingerprint.”Not long after, Meng Fan handed the written receipt to Ying Zheng.
Meng Fan's actions stunned Wang Jian.
To do business with the emperor, the emperor had to write a written agreement.
In the entire world, Meng Fan was probably the only one who had this.
Once again suppressing the urge to lay his cards on the table, Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and signed the name " Old Zhao " on the signature, then pressed his fingerprint on it…
Looking at Ying Zheng's signed contract, Meng Fan said unhappily,""Old Zhao, you should sign your real name here. What's the point of writing 'Old Zhao'?”
"Whether you want it or not, I'll write it like this!”Ying Zheng responded in a bad mood.
What kind of joke is this? Sign your real name?
If I write 'Ying Zheng', would you dare to accept it?
"Look at you. Why is your temper rising again?”Meng Fan put away the written agreement." I'm just saying it. Besides, with our relationship, isn't it the same whether we have a written agreement or not?"”
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes.
She had already written it and still wanted to buy a good one. She was really shameless!
......
Xianyang.
As soon as he received the letter from the Black Ice Platform, Meng Yi invited Li Si over.
"Did His Majesty send news?" Li Si said to Meng Yi when they met.
Meng Yi nodded and handed the paper to Li Si.""The Black Ice Platform just brought this back to Xianyang. It's a letter written by His Majesty.”
Li Si did not pay too much attention to why the Black Ice Platform handed Ying Zheng's letter to Meng Yi instead of him, the Prime Minister.
After all, he had just become the Prime Minister, and compared to Meng Yi, who was already a High Official of Great Qin, he still lacked some prestige.
Li Si quickly read through the letter and looked up.""Your Majesty, are you going to stay in Northland County for another month?”
"Yes, I don't know what happened.”Meng Yi nodded.
In the letter, Ying Zheng only said that he would stay in the Northern Lands, but did not explain in detail what he wanted to do.
" He also asked us to remind General Tu Sui in the south not to let his guard down and to ask Xianyang to prepare for the dispatch of supplies to the south." Li Si frowned and asked in confusion," Didn't His Majesty say that Baiyue would be pacified soon when he left? General Tu Sui had led 500,000 troops south!”
Meng Yi was silent for a moment. Then he said," Your Majesty, you must think that General Tu Sui is too careless. My elder brother has also analyzed the terrain of the Bai Yue. He believes that it will not be easy to pacify the Bai Yue in a short period of time.”
"In addition to General Tu Sui's contempt, I think Your Majesty's worries are not without reason.”Meng Yi continued.
Li Si nodded."" I can understand that. He even said that we should prepare a hundred gold and hand it over to the Black Ice Platform to bring back to Beidi County. He also said that we should open a 'Zhao Trading Company' in Xianyang City. Why is that…"
"Minister Li, you're asking me, but who should I ask?" Meng Yi shook his head with a bitter smile.”
" His Majesty probably met someone in the North." Meng Yi stood up." Anyway, we'll just do as His Majesty says."”
Walking up to Li Si, Meng Yi looked at the piece of paper in Li Si's hand playfully.""Minister Li, compared to this information, I am more curious about what His Majesty wrote this letter with.”
