This Is Actually Fine Salt
At the Zhangsun Clan.
Zhangsun Zhexian quickly returned home.
When she arrived home, Zhangsun Wuji and Zhangsun Chong were in the living room.
"Sis, you're back?"
"Did that bastard Li Ke bully you? I'll bring people to break his legs!”
When Zhangsun Chong saw that Zhangsun Zhexian had returned, he immediately went up to welcome her happily.
He looked at Zhangsun Zhexian's anxious expression and thought that he had been bullied by Li Ke.
In the end, his sister became Li Ke's maid because of the bet he made with Li Ke.
Her sister had been wronged by staying in Li Ke's residence for the sake of the Zhangsun Clan's reputation.
"Shut up!"
"Didn't I tell you not to be enemies with Li Ke for the time being?”
Zhangsun Zhexian's face immediately turned cold as she berated Zhangsun Chong.
Zhangsun Chong's face immediately froze. Even Zhangsun Wuji, who was sitting at the side, frowned.
Facing the eldest son, even as the elder sister, she should not scold him like this, so as not to affect the dignity of the eldest son.
"I…"
Zhangsun Chong didn't know why his sister was scolding him like this.
While he was angry, he also felt wronged. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
"I'll deal with you later."
"Father, I have something important to talk to you about.”
Zhangsun Zhexian glared at Zhangsun Chong and walked past Zhangsun Chong to stand in front of Zhangsun Wuji.
She was still that obedient and intelligent girl who bowed respectfully in front of her father.
"Then let's go to the study."
Zhangsun Wuji didn't say anything more. He got up and went to the study.
However, she already had an idea in her heart. If the news that Zhangsun Zhexian brought back wasn't enough to satisfy her, then she would be punished for berating Zhangsun Chong just now.
Of course, there was no dissatisfaction on his calm face. He still maintained his usual dignity.
"Father, what do you think this is?"
In the study room.
Zhangsun Zhexian took out a small packet of fine salt.
At Li Ke's place, Zhangsun Zhexian and the two Fang brothers each took two small bags back.
Now, the snow-white, crystal-clear fine salt was placed in front of Zhangsun Wuji.
"What is this?"
Zhangsun Wuji's brows were tightly furrowed as he gently touched it with his large hand and looked at it seriously.
It looked a little like salt, but salt could never have such a color, nor could it be so fine.
What exactly was such a delicate thing?
Zhangsun Chong, who was standing at the side, also looked at it seriously. He then shook his head, indicating that he did not know what it was.
"Put it in your mouths and try it."
Zhangsun Zhexian said meaningfully.
She stood straight and couldn't help but feel proud.
These were all fine salt, which would replace the current edible salt.
All of this would be driven by them and change the entire society.
"Try it?"
Zhangsun Wuji frowned slightly, but he still put the fine salt on his index finger into his mouth.
As Changsu Chong hadn't touched the fine salt with his fingers, he immediately grabbed a large portion of it and put it into his mouth after hearing Zhangsun Zhexian's words.
"Salty? This is…"
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes lit up in disbelief.
However, before he could finish his words, Zhangsun Chong interrupted him.
"Hiss!"
"So salty, so bitter. Water, water, water!"
Zhangsun Chong kept shouting and spitting.
Just now, when he grabbed the salt and put it in his mouth, it was bitter under the extreme saltiness. It was so bitter that he spat desperately and even looked for water to drink.
"Go to the side. Don't just come and annoy me.”
Zhangsun Zhexian brought a cup of water to Zhangsun Chong and pushed him away.
He turned to Zhangsun Wuji with an excited expression and said in a deep voice,""Father, have you guessed what this is?”
" This is salt?!"
Zhangsun Wuji said uncertainly.
As the Minister of Personnel, he knew the importance of salt.
However, in his decades of life, he had never seen such salt.
Was this salt?
"Yes, this is salt!"
Zhangsun Zhexian said smugly.
"Heavens, this is really salt?”
Zhangsun Wuji said in a trembling voice.
People in his position usually wouldn't change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of them.
However, the tiny bit of salt in front of him made Zhangsun Wuji unable to calm down. He tried again to see if it was salt.
"Father, do you think this kind of salt can replace the official salt?”
Zhangsun Zhexian said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhangsun Chong, who had been drinking and spitting non-stop, quieted down. He looked at Zhangsun Zhexian in surprise, thinking that he had misheard.
Salt was a national business and an important source of income for the royal family. It could bring in tens of millions of dollars every year.
If he did, wouldn't he become the richest man in a few years?
"Are you saying that before this salt leaves the market, our Zhangsun clan can also get a share?”
Zhangsun Wuji suddenly thought of many things.
His daughter was in such a hurry to return. She definitely did not just tell him about the salt.
"Yes."
"This is called fine salt, it's... Li Ke did it."
"At that time, Fang clan's two brothers were there, they promised to give our two clans twenty percent of the profits.”
Zhangsun Zhexian said in a deep voice.
He briefly explained what had happened in Li Ke's residence.
"Li Ke again?"
"Why did he seem to fly after severing his father-son relationship with His Majesty?”
Zhangsun Wuji sat down and frowned. Many thoughts flashed through his eyes.
"Only twenty percent?"
"Can Li Ke swallow so much alone?”
Zhangsun Chong cried out in surprise, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.
"Li Ke indeed has a lot of success."
"At first, I wanted thirty percent, Fang clan wanted thirty percent too, but now it's sixty percent, it's even more than Li Ke himself, that's why I came back to discuss with father.”
Zhangsun Zhexian explained.
She was explaining to Zhangsun Chong.
But in fact, it was for Zhangsun Wuji who was deep in thought.
"Do you know that the Crown Prince and Li Ke have a huge conflict?”
"Chong-er, you go first."
Zhangsun Wuji raised his head and his expression returned to normal.
He had already made his decision, but he wanted to hear his daughter and son's opinions.
"Father, I think it's better to forget about it. This business is not worth it.”
"The salt business was originally controlled by His Majesty, and engaging in the salt business made His Majesty unhappy.”
"And you also said that Li Ke and the Crown Prince have conflicts. Wouldn't cooperating with Li Ke be equivalent to slapping the Crown Prince's face?”
Zhangsun Chong thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Zhangsun Wuji nodded and did not express his opinion. Instead, he looked at Zhangsun Zhexian.
"Father, my opinion is exactly the opposite of my brother's.”
"Although the salt business is controlled by His Majesty, a large part of it is also controlled by the five surnames and seven Wangs. His Majesty has long disliked them. With the addition of new salt merchants, they can split the income of the five surnames and seven Wangs, which is equivalent to helping His Majesty.”
"In addition, for now, the Crown Prince is relying on our Zhangsun Clan, not us. We are doing business with Li Ke, not supporting anyone. Moreover, Li Ke is only Li Ke, not the King of Shu.”
"One more thing. Li Ke wants to work with our Zhangsun Clan because his daughter happens to be in Li Ke's residence. He doesn't have to work with us. He can also work with Li Jing, Du Ruhui, and so on.”
Zhangsun Zhexian said in a deep voice.
Before she came back, she had already thought of how to convince her father.
"You're right. Chong-er should learn from your sister.”
"Zhexian, make the arrangements. I want to meet Li Ke, secretly.”
Zhangsun Wuji made his decision.
He wanted to meet Li Ke and discuss this business.
At the same time, Fang Xuanling also set off for Li Ke's residence.
Dear readers, I think it's not bad. You can give me a little flower to support you.
