Chapter 523: Raising Prices
The two young men gritted their teeth and said when they saw the few Jingguan.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, we admit that we are indeed wrong, we really should not look for the descendants of these two exterminated families, we are willing to accept the punishment."
"We are all willing to admit the evil and wrong things I have done before, but we are not willing to admit the dirty water that these two young people have splashed on us."
The two young men knew that these people had made up their minds and didn't care about themselves, their eyes turned red, and they clenched their teeth.
Chen Mu sighed when he saw the two young people like this, obviously, they still didn't know how to repent, they didn't even know what they were trying to do when they exterminated their family in the first place.
Chen Mu shook his head helplessly, and didn't bother to listen anymore, this group of people ate dogs, he waved his hand to Lord Ye, Lord Ye stepped forward and escorted these people into the backyard, and the men and women kneeling in the courtyard looked at Chen Mu with shocked faces.
They had already heard Chen Mu's identity from the mouths of the adults who were pressing in the courtyard.
Prince?!
They looked at each other, their eyes were full of disbelief, Chen Mu saw them like this, and knew what they were thinking.
He stepped forward and met the sight of the men and women.
"You haven't been sent to the capital yet, and when you were taken away, did your family know why you were picked up?"
Everyone shook their heads, Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction, in this way, when these young men and women were sent back to the towns and villages where they lived, no one would know what had happened recently.
Their innocence and reputation will not be affected.
"Today you will rest in the city for a day, and tomorrow I will have you sent back."
When those people heard this, a look of gratitude appeared in their eyes, and they kowtowed to Chen Mu again and again.
Seeing this, Chen Mu shook his head indifferently, turned around and went back to the guest room, Chen Mu raised his hand, pressed his eyebrows, and was waiting for the guards outside the door to arrange Shi Yong and the others, Chen Mu felt that a figure suddenly came over beside him.
The soft breath stuck to his arm, Chen Mu reached out to hold the person, Meng Qing smiled and grabbed Chen Mu's arm, and said.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you think of those men and women who are favored by the Beijing officials?"
Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came back to his senses.
Yes, Meng Qing is delicious.
Although Meng Qing had a smile on her face and looked well-behaved, Chen Mu could still see that in his eyes, there was a slight look of anger hidden.
Chen Mu smiled and pulled Meng Qing over, raised his hand and pinched the other party's cheek, Meng Qing pursed her lips and no longer continued to cover up, with an unhappy and resentful look, like someone who owed her 80,000 taels of silver.
Chen Mu rubbed the top of the other party's hair and took the person in his arms.
"I know, what have you been worried about, don't worry, I won't take a concubine, it's enough to have you and the blue phoenix in the palace."
"As for the four young men and women, to be honest, I don't even see what they look like."
This was a very nice thing to say, and Meng Qing immediately laughed, this time, her smile was from the bottom of her heart.
The two of them talked together for a while, and it wasn't until the voice of Lord Ye, who was detaining several county officials, sounded outside the door that Chen Mu regained his senses.
Meng Qing obediently returned to the window and sat down, Chen Mu called Lord Ye into the room and asked about Zhao You and others, Shi Yong and others led people to rush into the city to fight against the officials brought by the county commanders.
Zhao You and the others also entered the city with them, and were now resting in an inn not far from the restaurant, waiting for Chen Mu to summon them.
Chen Mu nodded, and asked Zhao You, Shi Yong and the others to come to the small courtyard together.
Several of Shi Yong's men were injured, and when Chen Mu heard about this, he asked them to give them some silver and ordered them to buy medicine for their injuries.
Shi Yong was very grateful and bowed to Chen Mu, who shook his head when he saw this.
"The reason why I called you here is to prepare for the mine, those county orders who did evil have been arrested, and I will also ask you about the mine and give you justice."
"After the homes of those county commanders are raided, I will give you all the money that the county commanders have exploited from you, as well as you."
Shi Yong was so excited that he burst into tears, and he responded again and again. The few strong men behind him also raised their sleeves to hide their eyes, and couldn't bear to cry.
They had waited too long for this day.
They had thought that they would have to get the justice themselves.
As a result, they didn't expect that there would be an adult who was willing to administer justice for them!
A few strong men cried a handful of snot and tears, and Chen Mu also felt embarrassed when he saw them like this.
He shook his head helplessly and sighed, and glanced at them, Shi Yong and the others bowed, exited the courtyard, and prepared to go back to the cottage to wait for news.
"As for the few of you, when you return to Beijing, you will also have to be punished, although I know that the news you sent to your capital has not been delivered to me, and the reason is complicated."
"But let my people look for you around the city for so long, and you have not heard from you, and this is also a punishment."
"And after settling down in Heshi Yong's Crane Eye Mountain, you can obviously return to Beijing immediately."
However, due to the damage of the cold storage car, they temporarily settled in the cottage.
Zhao You and the others also felt embarrassed, and they responded again and again when they heard the words, they knew that the punishment that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said would not be a heavy punishment.
Seeing them like this, Chen Mu sighed, waved his hand again, and asked them to go back to the cottage to fetch those cold storage cars.
Among the cold storage trucks, only two cold storage trucks were broken in the process of being sent to Heyan Mountain.
The bad place is difficult to repair, and the two cold storage trucks are considered wasted, but there are still a few cold storage trucks that can be used.
Shi Yong's people sent the cold storage car to the small courtyard, and Chen Mu circled the cold storage car.
The ice between the two layers of iron has melted clean.
Chen Mu narrowed his eyes, pondering about the matter of the ice cellar in this city,
Most of the ice stored in the ice cellars built in each city is still left over from the cold winter season.
Chen Mu originally planned to buy saltpeter to make ice after the promotion of this cold storage truck in the future, but after asking the officials in the capital to investigate carefully, he was shocked.
Those officials pretended to be ordinary people to inquire about the merchants who sold saltpeter.
Those merchants have recently gathered into a force and monopolized the saltpeter trade, causing the asking price of saltpeter in the market to rise.
Now it has become a tael of saltpeter, and it costs fifty taels of silver.
Even if officials are frank, they will buy a lot of money. Those merchants are also reluctant to lower prices.
Because this method of refining saltpeter is a unique secret method, they relied on the fact that they were the only ones in the entire Great Xia who could refine saltpeter, so they sat on the ground and raised the price.
Chen Mu didn't expect the price of saltpeter to rise so quickly.
In the past, he only asked the people in the palace to buy some, and he didn't think it was too expensive, but now he is looking at it......
To promote the cold storage car, and this saltpeter is expensive, in the future, those caravans and people who bought the cold storage car want to maintain the operation of the cold storage car, they have to spend a high price to buy saltpeter!
