Chapter 258: Doubts

Cui Yicheng is now the most idle of the officials in Dingfu and Fuzhou, and under the impetus of several powerful forces, the interior of Dachu has carried out a strong blow to the illegal salt trade in Fuzhou, and the illegal salt sales network has almost been swept away, trying to cut off Li Qing's biggest financial source in this way, but Li Qing immediately made a strong counterattack unreasonably, not only stopping the illegal salt, but even stopping the sale of official salt. Fuzhou is the three major salt producing areas in Dachu, and the impact on the price of salt can be imagined, and Li Qing's move immediately led to the soaring price of salt in the interior of Dachu.

Although the amount of salt is not large, but it is an indispensable common product for every family, affecting thousands of households, Fuzhou's move immediately set off a rush to buy salt in Da Chu, the tide of tunji, the price of salt has risen to an incredible price in a short period of time, this is because some big salt merchants more or less know the inside situation, this war without tobacco sales does not know when it will end, is to collect salt on a large scale, reduce or stop selling to the outside world, in order to look forward to a higher price of salt, so as to make huge profits.

The initiator headed by King Ning, what he never expected was that Li Qing's counterattack was so arrogant, Li Qing's financial route was indeed broken, but the price of salt in his territory was also high in sesame blossoming, and some places even began to have no salt to sell, and the people were complaining for a while. Li Qing couldn't hear these complaints, and the first people who had to face these grievances were the heads of the major forces.

The Holy Decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse ordering Fuzhou to immediately restore the supply of salt was thrown into the corner by Li Qing with a sneer, and he ignored it at all, as for how to perfunctory the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Li Qing has a lot of reasons, the typhoon is coming, the tsunami is coming, the pirates are coming, etc., you can find out as much as you want, anyway, Fuzhou is now out of salt.

In this context, Cui Yicheng, the largest smuggler of salt in Dingfu and Fuzhou, has become the most leisurely person, and in less than a month, he has gained a lot of weight. Today, he was suddenly summoned by Li Qing to the Marshal's Mansion, but he was very excited, and it seemed that he had something to do again.

"See the big handsome!" Although the place of the summons is in the inner hall, Li Qing is also dressed in plain clothes, but Cui Yicheng is still respectful and respectful, compared with the first time he saw Li Qing, the current Li Qing is authoritarian, and the power of Dingzhou is getting bigger and bigger, Cui Yicheng can imagine that after the destruction of the barbarians, the two states of Dingfu will form a huge military interest group around Li Dashuai, and he is fortunate to become one of them, although it is still relatively peripheral, but Cui Yicheng is already very satisfied, I am not the same now as I was a few years ago, as long as I get on this boat, then I have the opportunity to climb higher.

"No need to be polite, get up, Master Cui." Li Qing smiled and helped him, in the past two years, under the care of Cui Yicheng, the salt affairs have been in good order, and a lot of money has been provided for Dingzhou. Cui Yicheng has also proved his ability, and Li Qing has decided to make him take on greater responsibility.

"Master Cui has been running around for Dingzhou in the past few years, and it has been really hard." Li Qing said with a smile.

"My lord's words are serious, it is an honor to be able to serve Dingzhou and serve the handsome dogs and horses." Cui Yicheng owes his body and is humble and authentic.

"What do you think about us cutting off the sale of salt altogether?" Li Qing asked.

Cui Yicheng hesitated for a moment, glanced at Li Qing carefully, and suddenly moved in his heart, "My lord, a certain force is trying to sabotage the big boss's peaceful plan and want to defeat us economically, so this is the business war against us, and the lord resolutely counterattacked, causing the dissatisfaction of the people under their rule, and I admire it very much." ”

Li Qing smiled, "Well, you seem to have something to say?" ”

Cui Yicheng said: "Dashuai, now the price of salt in the mainland has risen to an incredible point, and the official salt in many places is struggling to support, in fact, this is also an opportunity to make money, we can quietly get a batch of salt through some channels and sell it to those local officials who are in a hurry, so that these local officials can fight with salt merchants." At a certain time, if the commander feels the need, we only need to announce the resale of official salt, and we can deal a heavy blow to these local officials and salt merchants. ”

"Well, I'll talk about this later, I summoned you today to tell you that from today on, you will be the salt manager of Fuzhou, and you will be responsible for the production, storage, and sales of salt.

Cui Yicheng stood up suddenly, his heart was pounding, he was only responsible for the private salt in the past, and it was hard to say that Li Qing was a shady smuggler of salt, just collecting money for Li Qing, but what Li Qing is talking about now is that the salt manager of the entire Fuzhou is completely handed over to him, salt is the pillar of Fuzhou's salt production, and mastering this department by himself is almost equivalent to entering the ruling core of Fuzhou, of course, it is also equivalent to entering the inner circle of Li Qing's interest group.

"Are you willing to take on this responsibility?" Li Qing said with a smile.

"The handsome man trusts him so much, how can Yicheng not do his best and die." Cui Yicheng said excitedly.

"Hmm!" Li Qing nodded, "Our salt blockade in the interior of Dachu will continue for a few months, and during this period of time, you just need to integrate the salt department and strive to establish a lean and efficient salt administration in the shortest possible time. ”

"Of course, you might as well give the things you mentioned earlier a try in the next few months. Either you don't do it, or you have to do it ruthlessly. Li Qingdao.

"Yes, Dashuai, after Yicheng goes down, he will start to do it immediately."

When Tang Hu came in, the two were discussing how to make Fuzhou's salt industry be able to take charge of the Chu salt industry in a short period of time. He immediately stood up and said: "Today, it is better to be able to listen to the teachings of the handsome than Yicheng to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, how to do it below, Yicheng already has some eyebrows, so he will not delay the time of the marshal, and he will resign from his position." ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "Lord Cui is very capable, I am very relieved, the matter of salt affairs, I have to please, you go down and then go to Lord Lu's place." ”

"Yes!" Cui Yicheng bowed, suddenly remembered one more thing, reached out and took out a small box from his arms, and said with a smile: "Dashuai is about to get married, a few days ago, Zi Yicheng got something outside, quite appropriate, today I was summoned by Dashuai, I thought of dedicating it to Dashuai, but I almost forgot." ”

Li Qing took the box with a smile, opened it, and couldn't help but be moved, it was actually a heart-shaped fiery red jade, the most precious thing is that this heart-shaped jade was divided into two pieces, and when the two pieces were closed, they formed a complete heart-shaped. What's even more incredible is that these two pieces of jade are naturally formed at a glance and have not been artificially carved. It's worth a lot of money. accepted it happily at the moment, and Cui Yicheng was happy not to disturb his mouth, it seems that his own thing is really very in line with the handsome's heart.

Cui Yicheng left happily, and Li Qingfang turned to Tang Hu, "Huzi, what's wrong?" As soon as he saw Tang Hu's face, Li Qing knew that something had happened.

Tang Hu told what happened in Peach Blossom Xiaozhu in a few words, "Dashuai, it was fine at first, but later, for some reason, Director Qingfeng and Miss Ji Yue quarreled, and then they fell out directly." ”

Li Qing's brows furrowed tightly, "Didn't you hear what they said?" ”

Tang Hu shook his head, "Even the personal maid was kicked out at that time, and no one knows what they were talking about, but Dashuai, you can go and ask Director Qingfeng!" ”

Li Qing shook his head, "Qingfeng won't say it, could it be that Qingfeng hasn't given up yet, and is still persecuting Jiyue?" Li Qing, who was a little angry, slammed the desk, and his face sank.

"Dashuai, after Director Qingfeng left, Miss Ji Yue kept crying, you see?" Tang Hu asked tentatively.

Li Qing pondered for a moment and said: "I want to figure out this matter, I can't ask anything from Qingfeng, let's go to Peach Blossom Xiaozhu, maybe we can ask something from Jiyue, Qingfeng, it's really unusual." ”

Li Qing hurried to the Peach Blossom Building, and at this time, Shang Haibo was with Mingyan from the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.

"You mean, Qingfeng and her sister had a complete falling out today?" Shang Haibo asked.

Mingyan said with a smile: "The news I got there is like this, it seems that the two have completely fallen out, I heard that Director Qingfeng had forced Jiyue to marry before, but Jiyue refused, this time Qingfeng has brought up the old matter again?" ”

Shang Haibo said with a smile: "Qingfeng has always wanted to put her hand into the army, it seems that she has not given up until now, so it's okay, she fell out with Jiyue, and she can let the handsome see her true face, which will be of great help to curb Qingfeng's ambitions." ”

Mingyan said with some doubts: "Mr. Shang, Qingfeng is very intelligent, she can't do this kind of thing once, how can she do it a second time, will there be any other joints in this?" I always think it's not that simple, is it? ”

Shang Haibo said with a smile: "Maybe Li Lingzhi is faint, it is to describe the form of Qingfeng, you snatched the military intelligence investigation department from her hands alive, from being squeezed by her and having nowhere to live to now fighting with her, presumably the depression in her heart has no way to vent, so she came up with this bad attention again." ”

Mingyan smiled, "The Military Intelligence Investigation Department is a start-up, so compared with the Investigation and Statistics Department, I will ask Mr. Shang for a lot of help in the future!" ”

Shang ** laughed, "Director Mingyan, you are out of sight, the Military Intelligence Investigation Department is subordinate to the military, we are a family, if you need anything, just open your mouth, I will spare no effort to help you." ”

"Thank you Mr. Shang for that." Mingyan smiled.

"Qingfeng is not a person to deal with, but she is now falling out with Jiyue, this is good news for us, I think the handsome, the Jiyue girl is not ordinary, I have been worried that the two sisters have joined forces, and now they are finally relieved, even if Jiyue enters the Dashuai Mansion in the future, with Qingfeng's surname, the two sisters must be incompatible. And that Ji Yue is a very light surname, and she has no intention of power, she just wants to stay with the handsome, but she gets along very well. "Shang Hai Bodao.

Mingyan smiled and nodded, but a faint haze floated in her heart, Qingfeng was shrewd, how could she make such a stupid move, could it be that she was really jealous that her sister would take away her favor from Dashuai? Tapping lightly on the desk, Mingyan had some doubts in her heart.
