After sighing with emotion, Wei Yu remembered that the major events that had occurred in the empire since the emperor was in power, and the most thrilling thing for Wei Yu was the eviction order after the emperor was in power. At that time, the emperor found out that Zheng Guo, who came to Qin from Korea to control the water, was a spy of Korea, and used Qin tactics to try to make Qin State fall into the construction of huge projects and was unable to invade Korea. In a fit of rage, the young emperor immediately issued the "Expulsion Order", preparing to sweep away the immigrants, merchants, and officials serving in the Qin state from the six states of Shandong, and expel them all.

This "Eviction Order" is crazy and dangerous, if the emperor really implements it, maybe it will be a different situation today. Fortunately, Li Si, the guest secretary at that time, wrote to the emperor in time, and a "Decree on Expulsion of Guests" calmed the emperor's anger and made Li Si rise to the top. The emperor knows that he can change his mistakes, and he is very good. But from this, Wei Yu also knows that once the emperor is angry, it is very likely that millions of corpses will be ambushed and blood will flow thousands of miles. Once the emperor decided that this matter was done by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, the old royal nobles and ministers of the Six Kingdoms in Xianyang would have to face the emperor's bloody butcher's knife.

Chen Sheng comforted the teacher with kind words. and analyzed his thoughts in detail, which made Wei Yi feel a lot more at ease. In Chen Sheng's opinion, there are at least a few clues that can trace the whereabouts of this batch of grain, and can also trace the traces of the person who manipulated it behind the scenes.

Whether it is the Bajun Ling family or the Longxi Wu clan, they can get some information from them, and the people who exchange old money and buy food in various places can also find the whereabouts of the people behind the scenes through tracing and following the vine. Chen Sheng believed that someone in the upper echelons of the empire must have locked on these clues, but Gu Haoran, who was in the lower echelons of the empire, didn't know it.

Chen Sheng even believed that Gu Haoran's assignment to Pengcheng was also deliberately arranged by the imperial leadership, because this place was located in a transportation hub, an important city for commercial circulation, and a very important place in the geographical direction of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. These arrangements are clearly aimed at monitoring the flow of these food supplies.

……

After living in the county government for two days, Chen Sheng and Wei Yi moved to the newly purchased house. This house was specially arranged by the county magistrate to buy it in person.

The house is three in, at least eighty percent new, there are dozens of wing rooms alone, covering a lot of land, and there is a small garden at the back. The price is not expensive, but 60 gold. This house was originally the property of a large family in Pengcheng. However, this big family has moved to Xianyang, and this house is entrusted to others to sell it at a low price, so the price is also cheap, and the county adult came to buy it in person, which is enough to give a discount.

Thirty gold bought such a big house, Wei Yu was also very satisfied, and the group of thieves under Ji Bu was even more overjoyed, they used to sleep in caves in ravines, living a life of poor clothes and hungry food, but now they have become a family member in the mansion of the dignified captain, and their identities have doubled, and they are all very happy.

Chen Sheng asked Ji Bu to take the time to settle the group of brothers in the mountain as a nursing home. It's just that Chen Sheng has a difficulty in his heart, with so many families, it is really not easy to feed. I have already begun to think about what kind of livelihood I want to do to support this day. Relying on the teacher's salary alone is not an option! After thinking about it, he thought that the empire was now short of materials, and for a while he was sure that there were not enough materials in various places, so he decided to organize these families to sell a batch of sea salt in Jiaodong County and transport it to the counties of the Central Plains to sell.

Throughout the ages, illicit salt has been an extremely lucrative industry, and although the government decree strictly prohibits the sale of illicit salt, there will always be people who take risks under the expulsion of huge profits. Now that the empire is newly established, although the salt and iron laws are strict, the implementation is very weak. In addition, the government has recently opened the door to seek price parity.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Chen Sheng himself is poor and white, and it is naturally difficult to succeed by thinking alone, so he immediately found his junior brother Tian Peng, Tian Peng has a treasure of Qi in his hands, and only a small part of the funds need to be taken out from it, which is enough for Chen Sheng to sell sea salt.

Tian Peng hit it off on this matter, and now he has broken off his thoughts about restoring the Qi Kingdom, and he also wants to find something to pass the time.

The brothers and sisters planned privately in the room for a few days, and asked Ji Bu to select some loyal and strong subordinates, ready to travel far away, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, this business opportunity is fleeting, and it cannot be given up, according to Chen Sheng's calculations, it is estimated that it will take three or four months for the empire to cut off salt in a large area, but the empire is now vigilant about this matter, and it will inevitably transfer salt from all over the East China Sea to the counties, and his party must rush to buy a batch of returns before the emperor's decree reaches the salt-producing areas.

Chen Sheng's approach is no different from the mysterious person who rushed to buy grain and salt in various places before. But the only difference is that Chen Shengke didn't think about raising the price of salt. Sold at a fair price, the profit is enough to snicker.

Wei Yu was not interested in the plan of the two brothers at all, and let the two of them toss. Wei Yi was concerned about the safety of the imperial army in the south, and he couldn't sleep at night for several days, and he didn't know how to eat. During this period, the county commander Gu Haoran also came to ask Wei Yu about his master and apprentice, and Wei Hao also learned some news from the top of the empire, which was good and bad, which made Wei Yi have mixed joys.

On this day, after Chen Sheng and Tian Peng finished formulating the plan, they were ready to explain the situation to the teacher. The two planned to take people to the place where the treasure was hidden first to take out part of the treasure as a start-up capital to purchase sea salt in Jiaodong County.

However, when the two went to look for the teacher, they were stunned to find that Gu Haoran rushed to the mansion with the emperor's edict.

The emperor's edict was concise and powerful, and it explained two things: first, Wei Yu immediately returned to Xianyang to fully preside over the investigation of the matter, and second, the emperor sent special officials to Pengcheng and other places to investigate, and Gu Haoran and Chen Sheng were included in the list of those who assisted in the investigation.

Receiving this edict, both Wei Yu and Chen Sheng were quite surprised. Chen Sheng couldn't cry or laugh, he was about to make a windfall, but his action was suddenly interrupted by the emperor's edict. He was even more inexplicable, how could the emperor know his name. When he saw Gu Haoran's indifferent smile, Chen Sheng understood something.

It's just that Chen Sheng doesn't understand that the name that can appear on the emperor's edict is either particularly lucky or unlucky, and it is obvious that he is not the latter now.

However, Wei Yu was not surprised by the content of the emperor's edict, and he was at ease. has been with the emperor for many years, he has already been pampered, and when such a thing happens, it is estimated that the emperor does not trust the high-level officials in Xianyang, and it is not surprising that he was called back. He just asked lightly, "I don't know who the emperor has appointed to investigate this matter this time?" ”

"The eldest son, Fusu, Xianyang Lingmengyi." Gu Haoran lowered his voice and said with some excitement.
