Looking at Ying Zheng, who had suddenly lost his temper.
Gongshu Youlan and Wang Chunxu were both shocked.
What was wrong with Uncle Zhao?
Also, isn't it only His Majesty the First Emperor who can call himself a king?
Wang Chunxu was still in a daze.
However, Gongshu Youlan suddenly seemed to have understood something, and her little face instantly turned pale.
"I didn't expect that when I let Zimo supervise the country, he would actually be a small thief.”
Ying Zheng said furiously.
He had just returned from the East Sea. The blue sea salt was only produced in summer, and the output was not high.
Every year, they would be sent to the palace as tribute.
Furthermore, the salt seller was actually Han Xin, Zimo's subordinate.
If the salt wasn't from the palace, where did it come from?
If that kid wanted to build an academy, he could write to him and ask for money if he didn't have enough.
But without saying a word, he secretly took out the blue sea salt from the palace to sell. How could this be?
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Little Lord might not have smuggled the blue sea salt from the palace. What if he got it through other channels?”
When Dun Ruo saw this, he hurriedly advised from the side.
His Majesty usually doted on the Nineteenth Young Master the most.
Even though he was so angry now, he definitely wouldn't really punish her.
In Great Qin, the punishment for stealing ranged from chopping off one's hand to exile or even death, depending on the value of the stolen property.
Those seven or eight carts of salt were very expensive. Could it be that they really exiled the Little Lord?
Therefore, Dun Ruo tactfully gave Qin Shi Huang a way out.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression changed.
After a long time, he snorted,
"Fine, now order Zhang Han to check the treasury. If there is indeed a small amount of Hai Qing Salt, he will be spared the death penalty, but he won't be able to escape the punishment.”
"Zhen must first slap his butt until it is swollen, then punish him harshly to let him remember.”
"Yes!"
Only then did Dun Ruo heave a sigh of relief.
After giving his orders, Ying Zheng stormed out of the door in a rage.
Suddenly, dozens of Black Ice Platform's secret guards appeared from an invisible place and protected Brother Zheng, who was about to go out and spank Ying Zimo.
Wang Chunxu was speechless.
Even Wang Chunxu, who was a little naive, recognized him.
The Uncle Zhao that he had been calling for a few days was actually the First Emperor?
He didn't expect that the first time he met the First Emperor, it would be in such a way!
"It's over. What should I do? I just let it slip in front of His Majesty.”
Wang Chunxu had just said that Ying Zheng was so proud and easy to fool.
It was over!
Zimo was really going to be beaten up.
"Seriously, Zimo told you not to spout nonsense.”
Gongshu Youlan pursed her lips.
He calmed down very quickly." The reason why His Majesty is angry isn't because Zimo spoke ill of him. It's because of the salt."”
"Salt? Didn't Zimo mine it from Baikun Mountain?”
Wang Chunxu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"That's right. As long as His Majesty knows about this, he might not be angry anymore. He might even turn his anger into joy.”
"Really?"
........
When the secret guards reached the street, they immediately split up and hid around the First Emperor.
Dun Ruo followed closely.
The streets were crowded with people, and there was no guarantee that something would go wrong.
In front of them, a group of salt merchants gathered around their stalls, fighting for the last cart of salt.
"Humph, since brother sells salt in Xianyang, you should have heard of our Hengtong Salt Store. I will give you this amount for the last cart of salt.”
A salt merchant stretched out five fat fingers.
Immediately, the surrounding salt merchants looked at him with disdain.
This was sea green salt that was comparable to the imperial family's tribute. To pay such a small amount of money, did he think she was a virgin?
If it were in their hands, it could be sold for the price of gold!
"I'll pay double his!"
"Hmph, our Baihui Salt Company will pay three times the price!”
.......
He looked at the competing salt merchants.
Veins popped out on Ying Zheng's forehead.
Those are all tributes from my palace!
Now that he had actually taken it out and let these traveling merchants bid for it, if this matter was investigated, the royal family would lose all their face!
"That salt seller is Han Xin?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this person was invited back by the Little Lord and was praised by General Wang Jian as a talented general.”
Dun Ruo picked up some nice words to say.
This matter was like ten thousand indescribable creatures galloping through his heart.
The Little Lord was really bold.
He actually dared to sell something from the palace.
"Everyone, don't fight! This last carriage of blue sea salt had already been set by an old master at the price of 500 gold!”
Han Xin saw that the bidding trend had decreased.
He even added fuel to the fire.
Being a merchant was nothing. He had lived in the marketplace for many years and knew the nature of these merchants.
If there wasn't any good news, it was impossible to raise the price.
The fat manager of the Hengtong Trading Company stomped his feet and gritted his teeth. He then shouted out all the money he had brought.
The bidding was still in full swing.
Brother Zheng, who was in the crowd, was already furious.
Just as he was about to ask Dun Ruo to step forward and ask the merchant to leave.
The sound of horse hooves came from the end of the road.
"Master, it's the young master and Lord Li Si.”
He whispered into her ear.
"I'm not blind."
Brother Zheng was in a very bad mood right now.
He turned around.
A group of Embroidered Uniform Guards and Great Qin's elites walked over from the end of the road, and there were dozens of carriages in the group.
The tracks were very deep, and it looked full.
The one sitting on the colt at the front was Ying Zimo, that little bastard, with a smile on his face.
When she came, she only wanted to drag Ying Zimo over and give him a good spanking.
Now that she had seen the real person, her heart suddenly softened.
"Why is Li Si messing around with Zimo?”
" That's strange. After all, Sir Li Si is mature and mature. It shouldn't be."
Dun Ruo also found it strange.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng did not flare up.
They quietly watched as this little rascal was up to no good.
"Men, arrest the salt seller for this young master. He even dares to steal the salt of an official. How dare he!”
Immediately, the Embroidered Uniform Guards surrounded him.
"Hmm? What happened?"
"Why did the Little Lord come to Sky Street? What did he say just now? Did you steal this salt from the government?"
"I'm afraid this is the royal family's tribute salt. I knew it, how could such a rare thing be in the hands of a merchant?”
"Hiss, isn't that dirty?"
"What exactly happened?"
Immediately, the commoners on Sky Street gathered to watch the show.
In the crowd, Han Xin, who was in disguise, was pinned down by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Moreover, he seemed to be very "afraid" and confessed everything like a cannon.
"Little Lord, please forgive me. I was also confused for a moment.”
"That salt was piled up in Baikun Mountain. I thought that no one wanted it, so I asked my fellow countrymen to transport it away. I really didn't know that this was official salt!”
A sudden change.
Dun Ruo was stunned for a moment and said to himself,
"When this lowly subject saw Han Xin's attire, he felt that something was amiss."
Ying Zheng was also dumbfounded.
Wasn't Han Xin one of Zimo's men? Why was he arrested?
Moreover, why did Han Xin have to dress up?
He narrowed his eyes.
Ying Zimo hopped onto the stage.
He coughed lightly and said in a tender voice,"
"Everyone, don't misunderstand. This is not the imperial palace's tribute salt, but official salt! It was the Baikun mineral salt that had just been mined in Baikun Mountain!”
"Not only is this salt good, but it is also produced in large quantities. As such, in order to benefit everyone, we are preparing to open an official salt store on the Heaven Street and let Great Qin sell salt to everyone.”
Ying Zheng: "???"
Baikun mineral salt?
Official salt line?
He suddenly remembered that he had met Zhang Er and his son on his way back to Xianyang.
Not only did they bring supplies, but they also brought many laborers.
Before he could react.
Ying Zimo continued,
"Salt like the one just now will be sent to Xianyang in an endless stream in the future. Moreover, the price is very cheap, only 20% of the crude salt.”
Whoosh--
The crowd was in an uproar.
Of course, there were also quite a number of Embroidered Uniform Guards who had changed their clothes and were making a ruckus.
"Little Lord, is what you said true?”
"That kind of royal tribute-like salt is so much cheaper than coarse salt?”
"I didn't think that I would be able to eat the same salt as Emperor Shi Huang. If it's true, then I'll have to buy more.”
"Little Lord, are you lying to us?”
........
"Prime Minister Li Si is here too. He's here to lead the opening of the salt store. How could he lie to everyone?”
"Everyone, please look over there."
Ying Zimo bowed.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards removed the gray cloth.
Immediately, a large area of white mineral salt reflected a dazzling light.
It directly blinded the surrounding commoners.
"It's true!"
"Are you really going to sell this salt to us?”
"In the future, if anyone says anything bad about the Little Lord, I, Zhang San, will be the first to refuse!”
"Where is the official salt store? Where can we buy such good official salt?”
.......
What did the commoners eat before?
It was mixed with sand, mud, and coarse salt.
Moreover, under the control of the salt merchants, it was even more expensive than grain!
With the white official salt in front of them, everyone knew how to choose.
The faces of the salt merchants turned pale.
This was killing him.
Zhang Han had also returned from the treasury.
He went straight to Ying Zheng's side and whispered into his ear.
