Chapter 141: Li Ru's Guess
"It's ......"
Ye Zhen's eyes were suspicious!
Ye Qingdao: "Salt! ”
Salt!
Silk!
So snow-white!
Ye shook and froze.
I couldn't help but stand up.
The salt in the lacquer box is locked with both eyes.
And then step by step.
Until the lacquer box, I still didn't believe it.
How can the salt be so snow-white and delicate.
Even the refined salt of the Liu family can't do this.
Because the salt in the palace is actually the refined salt produced by the Liu family, it is not that he, who is the emperor, does not support the official salt, but there are too many impurities in the official salt.
As an emperor, at least in terms of diet, it should be better.
A little extravagance is also deserved.
Ye Zhen stretched out his hand to grasp it, grabbed it, and rubbed it between his fingers.
I don't know how many times finer than the coarse salt found this particle.
After putting it between his lips, he suddenly had a salty and bitter expression on his face.
Salty to a certain extent is bitter.
A little rubbing, so salty that he regretted it a little.
In the past, such a large coarse salt did not taste like salt at all.
As a result, the snowflake salt is not only beautiful and beautiful, but also very salty, and the salt taste is full.
"Good! Good! Good! Good salt! After saying three sentences in a row, Ye Zhen raised his hands to the sky and laughed.
Salt!
In his hands he saw salt as white as snow and as fine as silk.
Returning to his dragon chair, Ye Zhen asked excitedly, "You are refining this with official salt." ”
"It's not a minister, it's someone else, the minister is just using it to offer ugliness!" Ye Qing will not admit it if he is killed.
Whether facing Dong Huanghuang or Ye Zhen, Ye Qing did not admit this.
As long as the interests are big enough, the capitalists will do anything crazy.
Emperor magnates like Ye Zhen and Dong Huang are the most unreasonable capitalists.
If you admit it generously, you might actually grab it.
What is the most reliable, of course, is to snatch the technology into your own hands.
So Ye Qing only wanted to play the role of a second-class dealer.
I just want to tell the two that it's okay to cooperate, but there's no other way to think about it.
"Uh...... And so it was! Ye Zhen didn't believe it, but Ye Qing didn't admit it, and after staring at it a few times, he had no choice but to say:
"Okay! Since you are like this, then from now on, I will take back the official salt and include it in the Shaofu, and buy it at the highest price according to what you said three days ago, and I must buy as much as I want! ”
"Your Majesty! The minister will let the commercial house under his name buy official salt from Shaofu, but ......" Ye Qing hesitated for a moment and said:
"I just hope that the salt used in the harem can be purchased from the minister's trading house, and at the same time, the Xiaoyao Mansion trading house will be allowed to sell this salt to areas outside the Great Zhou, such as Qiangdi, Turkic, and Beishi!"
Ye Zhen was stunned, Ye Qing wanted to sell the salt to these three places.
Let's not talk about the Northern Stone Kingdom, the Qiang Land and the Turks are really mortal enemies, and the disasters are in Zhou every year.
The Great Zhou Dynasty forbade the flow of salt, iron, and grain to these two places.
It's the kind of death order, who dares to risk the disapproval of the world, then punish the nine clans.
The major families are very crazy, and they are very arrogant in the place, and they don't dare to do such a thing.
Ye Qing actually wanted to sell salt to them.
What's in your head?
Ye Qing knew what Ye Zhen was thinking, and explained: "Your Majesty, think about it, who is the person who can afford to buy this salt?" ”
Afford to buy and sell snowflake salt.
Rich people, of course!
Of course, it is impossible to sell this kind of snowflake salt cheaply.
It can only be enjoyed by the wealthy in high society.
Suddenly, Ye Zhen reacted back.
What is the purpose of the salt ban, in order to prevent the army and people of the enemy country from replenishing salt for a long time.
If you can't eat salt for a long time, eating too little salt will cause the sodium content in the body to be too low, and loss of appetite, weakness of limbs, dizziness and other phenomena will occur; In severe cases, symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, rapid heart rate, weak pulse, muscle spasms, blurred vision, and decreased reflexes may occur.
This is refined salt, precious salt, which can only be eaten by the Qiang people or Turkic nobles.
They do not lack salt to eat, but good salt.
Therefore, snowflake salt does not affect the salt ban measures for foreign races.
On the contrary, it can absorb the wealth of these nobles.
"Your Majesty, besides, is the ban on salt that I have been implementing all along?" Ye Qing asked again.
Throughout the ages, the more forbidden things are, the more profitable they are, and the higher the profits.
There will always be people who take risks, like moths to a fire, and there is still a steady stream.
Not to mention that with the current policy of closing and locking cards, even if there is a bunch of high-tech in the future, it is still forbidden to smuggle goods.
Speaking of this pierces my heart.
Ye Zhen pondered for a while and said: "Okay, but you have to understand that if you pass it, you and Da Zhou need money, but they need stability!" ”
"It's Your Majesty, the minister is the people of the Great Zhou, and the minister is looking forward to the stability of the Great Zhou at any time!" As long as there is a big guy to endorse it, with Ye Zhen and Dong Huang in front, the matter of business salt is basically settled.
After returning from the palace, the chasers who were sent out to track down and the iron hands both returned.
"Lord, just as you guessed with Mr. Wen Wei, Empress Xiongyue and the King of Chu transferred the army from the Qinling stronghold."
Ye Qing asked, "Where can you find out?" ”
With such a large number of troops, it is absolutely difficult to hide.
Chasing Life and Iron Hand glanced at each other, and both said: "Lord, I am incompetent, I haven't found it!" ”
At this time, Li Ru also came over.
Ye Qing asked Tie Shou and Chasing Life to re-talk about the process.
Li Ru pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that they were split up with the scriptures, and then returned to the Chu State and Yue Kingdom one by one." ”
Tie Shou said: "Mr. Wen Wei's guess does have some basis, we found that there are traces of a large number of people moving eastward, but after arriving in Shangluo City, there is no trace. ”
Chase said: "If so many people leave the country for a short time through Wuguan, they will definitely be able to find out, so we will check it again." ”
Li Ru looked at Ye Qing, Ye Qing said: "One of you will go to check Wuguan to see if there is a record of how many scales of exits, and the other will check the villages near Chang'an, whether there are a large number of strangers who have settled in." ”
The Iron Hand and the Pursuit of Life led the order.
Li Ru then said: "My lord, I still have a suspicion, but there is no basis, and this suspicion will be a little terrifying, which makes people's scalp tingle!" ”
"Oh, what kind of suspicion?" Ye Qing asked.
can make Li Ru say the word horror, and his scalp is numb with suspicion, and this suspicion is afraid that it will be a little subversive.
Li Ru took a deep breath and said: "The lord Lantian Valley is between Lantian County and Shangluo City, Lantian Valley has an extremely long deep valley under its name, and the valley and mountain ranges within a radius of one hundred and ten miles are all its private places, Lantian Valley has been in business for so many years, what is it like in the mountain, how many pavilion dojos, how many caves and blessed land, outsiders do not know." ”
Lantian Valley, one of the six major sects.
How rich the mountain gate is, whether it is the territory, food or concealment.
All of them meet all the necessary conditions for receiving.
"Wen Wei's words are not unreasonable, but they ...... Lantian Valley, as my big Saturday sect, needs to do this, but it needs to bear a great stigma. Ye Qing didn't dare to think that Lantian Valley would dare to do such a thing.
What's in it for them.
You must know that Lantian Valley is the closest to Chang'an among the six major factions, and the major faction that is most deeply influenced by Chang'an, has never made a move to transgress.
In addition to the special location of its place, it has become a barrier in the southeast of the Great Zhou.
Before there was no Wuguan before, Chu Yue attacked the Great Zhou, and Lantian Valley was the front line of the Great Zhou's defense.
Whenever there is a war in the southeast, the people of Lantian Valley will also help in the war, and their status is the same as that of Qishan Pavilion, they are the staunchest supporters of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they are the strongest sect in the Great Zhou.
Lantian Valley and the Chu Yue Kingdom actually have a grudge.
And not just between generations.
How could Lantian Valley collude with the people of the Chu Yue clan to receive the army of Empress Xiongyue and the King of Chu.
Don't say that Ye Qing doesn't believe it, even if he says it, absolutely no one in Chang'an City will believe it.
But the words came again, and what if it were.
That's what Li Ru said.
It can make people's scalp tingle.
If Lantian Valley betrayed the Great Zhou, then the soldiers of the Yue Department of the Chu State would directly arrive at the capital Chang'an.
