Humiliation!
What a disgrace!
The Imperial College, the great scholar that the eldest grandson of the Eastern Palace had taken a fancy to, was actually insulted as a dog by a small merchant on the street.
He had always kept this matter in mind. Otherwise, he would not have asked his brother-in-law to investigate Zhu Yu.
"Are you sure it's him?" Huang Zicheng's expression was ugly, and his fat face twitched.
Liu Quancai took out the business register that belonged to Zhu Yu and placed it on the table.
Huang Zicheng took a look and frowned. He gritted his teeth and said,
"The last time you showed me the Fish Scale Imperial Book, Zhu Yu, who called me a dog, lived in Lotus Alley."
"That's right, it's him. They both live in Lotus Alley. It's him, the same person!”
He took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement and anger in his heart. He looked at his brother-in-law and said,"Tell me, why did he go to your Salt Envoy Division?”
"Brother-in-law, I heard from a small official in the yamen that he wants to buy a mountain of salt as a merchant.”
"Buy the salt mountain?"
"Yes, he has his eyes on the salt mountain in the northern suburbs of Jin Ling city.”
"The Emperor has given me that salt mountain.”Corey was stunned.
Because he had previously taught the emperor's grandson meritorious service, he had been summoned by the emperor.
After a few words of flattery, the emperor happily rewarded him with this mountain of salt.
He still remembered that he was extremely happy at that time. Although he was now a directorate, the salary he could get was too little. Moreover, the salary was distributed in the form of salary rice.
Where did he get the money?
To be honest, he was also short of money. He was so short!
It's different now, heh! His Majesty rewarded him with a mountain of salt.
This was a mountain of salt. If he could mine it well, he would be rich.
With money, he could be carefree and go to the bar to listen to music.
But then he was dumbfounded
He had personally gone to the Salt Mountain to take a look. The place was huge, but the Salt Commissioner Department's yamen had judged it to be of little value.
Corey finally understood. Other than being big, there was nothing good about this place.
What was the point of keeping it if it was worthless?!
Moreover, because of the salt in this place, there was not even a single blade of grass, let alone crops.
He had been happy for half a day, but in the end, it was equivalent to being happy for loneliness?
"The emperor is too astute, he even gave me a reward.”He sighed and finally threw the salt mountain to the side.
And now, someone had actually taken a fancy to this salt mountain?
Coincidentally, it was still that little merchant called Zhu Yu?
"This is equivalent to being intercepted by me?"
Huang Zicheng felt that Zhu Yu must have suffered a setback. His plan had failed, so he was happy and comfortable.
He finally discovered another advantage of the salt mountain.
"No, I need to find a way to properly deal with this person."
He had a feeling that he could still use this salt mountain to make some articles.
As she thought about it, her eyes suddenly lit up. She slapped the table excitedly and shouted,"Yes."
This gave Liu Quancai a fright. He hurriedly asked,"Brother-in-law, what do you mean?"
"The method is here."
Huang Zicheng's eyes flashed.”
"Didn't he take a fancy to this Salt Mountain? I'll sell it to him!"
"Sell it to him? Brother-in-law, it's such a big mountain of salt!”
"What do you know? Salt Mountain is indeed not small. Didn't your yamen already judge that it doesn't have much value?”
"I'll feel stifled if I keep this thing with me. Since Zhu Yu has taken a fancy to it, I'll sell it to him generously!”
"However, there are naturally conditions. For example, I don't want money. I only want salt. I only want the salt extracted from this salt mountain every month.”
"Of course, if he can't produce the salt every month, it'll be considered a breach of contract. When the yamen files a lawsuit, he'll be bankrupt!”
The more he thought about it, the more excited Huang Zicheng became. It was as if he could already see the scene of Zhu Yu going bankrupt because of him.
He could not help but laugh sinisterly.
"Hehe!"
"All-rounder. I'll leave this matter to you.”
"Oh, I understand now. Brother-in-law's methods are brilliant!”
Upon hearing this, Liu Quan's face revealed a look of understanding. However, he seemed to have thought of something and said,"But what if brother-in-law doesn't agree? After all, he also knew that this salt mountain did not have much mining value.”
Huang Zicheng was speechless.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, a smile appeared on his fat face again."Don't worry about that. If he hesitates, just compress the conditions. Merchants pursue profit and are short-sighted.”
"Good!"
Liu Quancai nodded heavily and looked at the confident Huang Zicheng."Brother-in-law, wait for my good news.”
Huang Zicheng waved at Liu Quancai and said,"Go, go. Remember to take the title deed to Salt Mountain.”
