Thank you.

Lao Qin is not Wei Qi, salt and iron have always been the monopoly of the state government, this is a rule set for hundreds of years, once the fake hand is handed over to others, it is almost equivalent to giving the lifeblood of the country to others, so selling illegal iron and salt is a big crime in the Qin State, not to mention Bai Dong, that is, Yingquliang, who has been identified as the future prince, has this idea, and will be severely reprimanded by Yinglian, and even deprived of the identity of the son.

Bai Dong is cautious, but at this time, he used his daughter's matter to ask for the 'right to sell private salt', obviously he was planning for a long time; Li Jiang has a feeling of being calculated, but it is his daughter who is at a loss, this kid doesn't have to be discussed in front of the king, as long as his tone is a little loose, a 'accidental' said this, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and the world's scholars will not spare Yingshu, a princess of a country dares to humiliate the world's famous Bai Zi so much? There is no need for the hundred schools of thought to argue, they will immediately unite and criticize Ying Shu and Lao Qinkou.

Li Jiang Zhilu said that she had no room for bargaining, she was just very strange, with Bai Dong's usual practice, she would never use this threat, was this kid beaten stupid by Shu'er?

"Boy, do you know that for hundreds of years, salt and iron have been monopolized by the government, and it is a big sin for anyone to move their thoughts? Yes, Shu'er treats you like this, naturally it's her fault, the truth is all on your side, if Bai Zi makes a word, he really doesn't need me and Jun to do it. People in the world can force Shu'er to death. Lao Qin also had to lose face. Bai Zi holds people's lives and holds people's national fortunes. All of them turned their brains to the 'right to sell illegal salt', isn't that so? ”

Li Jiang looked at Bai Dong with flickering eyes, and the tone of his speech was still plain, but the meaning hidden in the words was by no means flat, and there was a feeling that the dark tide was about to rise and the mountain rain was coming. Fan Qiang frowned slightly, as if he wanted to speak and stopped; Jing Jian is face changed greatly, and he looked at Bai Dong tightly. Although he didn't blink, Bai Dong saw the smell of warning in his gaze, this brother didn't admit it in vain, and Zhilu Dao was worried about himself.

"Hehe, Madame blames me. The kid has no other thoughts, the most he loves is money, and the more the better, the more the merrier. Private salt has a lot of benefits, the boy thought about it for more than one day, even if he didn't meet the princess, he would have to ask Mrs. Jun in the future, and Mrs. Fang Cai asked me what I wanted. The kid casually asked, where is the meaning of threatening Mrs.? Madame was really worried. ”

Bai Dong smiled slightly: "Just as Madam said." For a hundred years, salt and iron have been monopolized by the government, if the 'right to sell private salt' is given to the kid, even if the king and his wife agree, it is difficult for the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to have no objections? A backward Bai Zuo gets such benefits, so what about loyal ministers like Doctor Shang and Da Liangzao? What about those old Qin aristocratic families? Meng Fuzi's sentence 'not suffering from widowhood but suffering from unevenness' is still very reasonable in some cases, so unfair, I am afraid that I don't need to punish my wife, and the old Qin courtiers will also regard me as a public enemy, does Madame think that the kid is such a stupid person? ”

"Of course you're not stupid, and even Madame Ben is so smart that she doesn't know what you're thinking. Bai Dong, can you tell Mrs. Ben what exactly you want to say? ”

Li Jiang was very depressed, very depressed. She has always regarded herself as intelligent, even Lao Yinglian praised her as the 'inner monarch' of the Qin State, if she is a man, she may be able to chase after Mu Gong directly, but every time she faces this kid, she always feels that her brain is not enough, and she has 'fought' with him several times, but none of them have fallen behind, and every time she loses, her heart is still beautiful, and she feels that she has taken a great advantage

intercepted the thousands of acres of land that were intercepted and sent back on his own initiative, and by the way, he became a big matchmaker for others with the respect of Mrs. Guo, and used some means to force this kid to go to the battlefield, but this kid had a lot of means, so that the old Qin military owed him a great favor; Now more than 1,000 'instructors' in the old Qin army are about to recognize this kid as their ancestors, but once the instructor system has been tried, it has been regarded by several military ministers as a good strategy for governing the army without precedent, and it will definitely not be withdrawn.

"Before answering Madame, the boy must first ask Madame about it. The old Qin salt is beneficial to the state, but those who have delusions need to be heavily punished, so all the salt in the world is owned by the state, but Qin is not a salt-producing country, and the government has ever received salt profits because of this? ”

"Although the salt profit is not much, it is not valued by the government. The weight of salt is not about money and profit, but about stabilizing Lao Qin; The government controlled the salt, so that it could be reasonably distributed, and all counties were guaranteed to have a supply, so that those merchants would not hoard the price because of the opening of private salt, which would cause the country to be shaken. Boy, you are smart enough, but unfortunately you only see the benefits of money, but you don't know that sometimes the benefits of money are not necessarily the fundamental benefits of the country. It's no wonder that you, after all, you are still young, no matter how good the little pigeon is, how can you have the vision of an eagle? ”

"It's a pity, Madame, just gave up the salt of the world like this, isn't it a pity?"

Bai Dong chuckled and said: "In the boy's opinion, the things in the world are shared by the world, and if the Qin State can't produce salt, can't it use the salt of other countries to make great profits?" Madam, the boy in the country of dreams, once saw a small island country, the people of this country are cold by nature, have the heart of tigers and wolves, so they were abandoned by the heavens, the country of mountain fires, earth dragons disasters are endless, and the country is extremely barren, there is almost no available capital in the earth, this country is despised by the world, but they are extremely smart, the country has no copper and iron, but there is a distant continent, they bought these copper and iron, smelted more tough and durable, and in turn sold to the countries on the distant continent, As a result, these continental countries with copper and iron did not benefit as much as they did."

"Mrs. Ben understands a little, do you want to use the method of refining salt? Don't forget that Lao Qin had an agreement with Wei that he must keep this secret, although he can use it for his own use, he can't use it for profit, and the refined salt produced must not flow into other countries, otherwise it will anger Wei. Boy, for the sake of salt profit, to start a war with the Wei State, I am afraid that this is not a good country, but a misguided country. ”

"Hehe, the princes of the world must be famous for their enemies. Otherwise, it is unjust. As today the following strong separation. It is even more important to be famous. Although China has a contract with Wei, it is agreed that the two sides are country-to-country, not a grass people or courtiers, Wei Guozhi said that China has been monopolized by the government for many years, and never thought of this section. The salt merchant was betrayed, and what did it have to do with Lao Qin? Even if Wei wanted to ask the teacher for guilt, he couldn't find an excuse. ”

"The Wei people are arrogant, I'm afraid they won't agree with this truth. And even if the salt merchant betrayed it, Wei Ying might not be able to find an excuse. ”

"Hehe, if the kid can make the Wei people unable to find an excuse, then what?"

"If someone else said such a thing, Mrs. Ben must have thought that he was deceiving me, and since you kid said so, you must be able to do it. But even if you have the ability. It is also inconvenient for the king and Mrs. Ben to grant you the right to sell private salt, because they cannot explain to the civil and military families of the Manchu Dynasty and the aristocratic families. Especially the three old clans of Yongdu, they have been staring at salt and iron for a day. ”

"Madame, who said that giving me private salt for sale is equivalent to opening up private salt? The kid has a way to take care of both public and private affairs, which is called 'contract management'. In name, salt is still the monopoly of the state, but in fact, the real operator is the boy, but the government ordered the boy to serve as this 'salt officer', I am Zuo Geng, and I am the old Qin Keqing, this qualification is still there, right? ”

"Contracting?"

Don't say that it is the ancients, that is, after 2,000 years, it is difficult for non-Chinese people to understand this concept, which is a precedent in the world's law and a unique special civil legal relationship, and the twelve federal justices of the United States are not clear.

"Yes, the inheritor, the bearer, the contractor, all in one. The franchise is still in the national government, but the person who actually takes charge of the operation is a brat. The boy will ensure the supply of salt in each county according to the requirements of the government, and in addition, he will also pay a certain amount of money every year, which will be set at 10 million yuan in the first year, and then increase by 1 million yuan every year. ”

"Poof!"

Li Jiang was drinking tea, and when he heard the words, he suddenly squirted out, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he stared at Bai Dong: "You are serious!" ”

Fan Qiang and Jing Jian were stupid, and they even forgot to dissuade Bai Dong. What is the concept of tens of millions of dollars? This is Lao Qin's tax income for three months! My God, Lao Qin is not a salt-producing country, when will he be able to earn so much money from the salt industry? Are you sure this kid isn't crazy?

In fact, if Bai Dong really wants to make money, salt is not the best choice, but to gradually increase the influence of the Bai family in the kingdom of the world, this is the fastest shortcut.

Although he never thought about being a powerful minister and fighting for hegemony, Bai Dong had to leave some behind. The most taboo thing for traversers is to seriously change history, because that will lose the biggest support, for example, it is difficult for Wei Ying to enter Qin, otherwise Qin will lose the opportunity to rise, and history will change in an unpredictable direction; But as a lawyer from later generations, no one knows Wei Ying better than him, this person is capable, determined, responsible, and does have the means to strengthen the country, but unfortunately his means are the policy of the poor people and the rich country, and the means are too cruel and poisonous, and the people are lost and the strong are punished!

The mother and the clansmen are used to eating Lao Qin's rice and drinking Lao Qin's water, they will not leave the Qin State, since he can't go, he will need to face Wei Ying in the future, will he become a friend or an enemy? Or friend or foe? It was difficult for Bai Dong to come up with an accurate answer.

Because Wei Ying's kind of person is the most difficult to grasp, even if he is friends with you, he will abandon you at any time for his ideals, turn his face and deny his relatives, this is a 'bad man' in the pre-Qin era! Therefore, you must keep your hands behind, you are not alone, but also your family and clansmen.

"Madame never heard me wrong, the boy said that ten million is ten million! If you can't get it after a year, the king and his wife can be punished! ”

"That's it! There is no need to ask the king to decide, Mrs. Ben can promise you now, because the king will definitely not object. ”

Li Jiang chuckled, and looked at Bai Dong carefully, as if he was meeting him for the first time: "It's a pity, Mrs. Ben now regrets marrying Shu'er to Qi State."

Bai Dong's heart shook slightly, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Since Madam has agreed, the kid is also leaving." Counting the bitter wine for a few days, the kid is a useless person, and he misses his daughter-in-law" (to be continued......)
