After Yan Huarong transported the new salt to Qilu, the price of salt over there was immediately suppressed. The salt dealers in Qilu couldn't sit still, but they didn't dare to do anything because Song Weikang was there.

No matter how arrogant and rampant the salt dealers in Qilu were, they didn't dare to make a mistake in front of General Song. The prestige of General Song can be said to be powerful in all directions. Besides, many years ago, Song Weikang's methods of eradicating the family and salt dealers in Yangzhou were very ruthless, which made the salt dealers in other places a little frightened.

Not daring to argue with Song Weikang, the salt dealers in Qilu could only comfort themselves, thinking that the new salt transported by the imperial court was not enough to sell. When the new salt of the imperial court is sold out, they will immediately increase the price of their salt.

Yan Huarong did only transport more than 1,000 catties of new salt from the swamp mansion, which was not enough for the people of Qilu to eat, but the emperor sent people to the seaside in other places to make new salt before. When the new salt shipped from Marsh Province was sold, the new salt made from other places was shipped to Qilu.

The salt dealers in Qilu couldn't believe that the imperial court had completely made new salt, and it was produced in large quantities.

The new salt sold by the imperial court was cheap and had a pure taste, without the slightest bitterness. Naturally, the common people were more willing to buy new salt from the imperial court.

The salt dealers in Qilu couldn't sit still at all, and they hurriedly lowered the price of their salt, from the previous six hundred yuan a stone, to three hundred yuan a stone. They thought that if they lowered the price, the people would obediently buy their salt, but it didn't.

The common people would rather spend an extra hundred dollars to buy new salt from the imperial court than to buy salt from the salt dealers.

The salt of the salt dealers is cheaper than the new salt of the imperial court, but it is not as delicious as the new salt of the imperial court.

Seeing that the people would rather go and buy the new salt of the expensive court than buy their salt, the salt dealers were anxious. They had no choice but to lower the price of salt again, to two hundred dollars a stone. This price was twice as much as the price of new salt from the imperial court.

It is true that many people run to buy salt from salt dealers for a cheap price, but when they buy it, they regret it. Because the salt sellers bought the worst salt, and there were a lot of stones mixed in it, the taste was needless to say, not much salty, but full of bitterness.

The salt dealers overwhelmed the price of their salt at two hundred dollars a stone, and of course they didn't want to lose money, so they sold the worst sea salt.

After the people have been fooled once, they will not be fooled a second time. The common people, who originally wanted to be cheap, stopped buying salt from salt dealers, and went back to buy new salt from the imperial court.

When the salt dealers saw that no one would buy the salt when they sold it for two hundred dollars a stone, they lowered the price again and lowered the price of the salt to one hundred dollars a stone.

The salt of a hundred dollars and one stone, not to mention in the Great Zhou, even in the previous dynasty, or the former dynasty has not appeared. This is the lowest price ever.

The salt dealers thought that if they lowered the salt by a hundred dollars a stone, the people would go crazy, but the people did not buy it at all. The common people continued to buy new salt from the imperial court.

Seeing that lowering the price to 100 yuan a stone would not work, the salt sellers could only endure the pain and take out the good salt from before to sell.

Before the advent of new salt, the salt of the Great Zhou was basically well salt. The well salt in the hands of the salt sellers is not as good as the tribute salt, but it is also excellent. Of course, it's far from the new salt.

The salt dealers thought that by selling the good salt from before, they would be able to deal a blow to the new salt of the imperial court, but as a result, there were still not many people who bought their salt.

Some people are very poor and have no choice but to buy salt from salt sellers. Of course, they will also buy a little new salt from the imperial court.

The salt dealers sold the salt in their hands cheaply, not only did not hit the new salt of the imperial court, but made the new salt of the imperial court sell better and better.

The people were not stupid, and before the court sold new salt, the salt dealers manipulated the price of salt, keeping the price of salt high, making the people miserable. Now, the salt dealers have lowered the price of salt, thinking that they will get the support of the people, but unfortunately the people have not let them get their wish.

Over the years, the people hated the salt dealers in Qilu. They prayed daily for the salt sellers' bad luck and retribution. Now seeing the bad luck of the salt dealers, the people rejoice and want to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

The common people knew the viciousness and greed of the salt dealers, and knew that the salt dealers were forced to lower the price because of the new salt made by the imperial court. If the salt of the salt dealers beats the new salt of the imperial court, they will definitely increase the price immediately, and even higher than before. At that time, the arrogance of the salt dealers will be even more arrogant, and then their common people will be bullied again.

The common people were more willing to trust the imperial court than the salt sellers. They have heard that the new salt was made by His Royal Highness the King of Han, in order to make it affordable for the common people and to eat good salt.

It is not the first time that His Royal Highness the King of Han has done something good to benefit their people, he has made a lot of good things before, such as Quyuan plow, and the court has distributed it to them without money.

This time, His Royal Highness the King of Han made such delicious new salt, and the imperial court sold it to them at the lowest price. The imperial court will not harm their common people, but the salt dealers will.

Although the price of new salt sold by the imperial court was more expensive than the salt sold by salt dealers now, it was much cheaper than the salt sold by salt dealers in the past. They would rather spend a few hundred dollars more on new salt from the imperial court than from salt sellers. They will never let the salt dealers get complacent.

The salt dealers saw that no matter how they lowered the price of salt, the people did not buy it, which made them completely anxious, but they could not think of a good way to deal with the new salt of the imperial court for a while.

The salt dealers in Qilu could only watch the new salt of the imperial court sell better and better, and the salt in their hands could not be sold.

In addition to Qilu, which has new salt, other places are also selling new salt.

After the common people ate the new salt of the imperial court, where were they willing to eat the old salt sold by the salt sellers.

Before the Chinese New Year, in addition to Qilu's salt prices becoming stable, salt prices in other state capitals have also completely stabilized.

The Emperor was very pleased with this, but the salt dealers were red-eyed.

Knowing that the new salt was made by His Royal Highness the King of Han, the salt dealers hated him. For the salt dealers, the new salt made by His Royal Highness the King of Han is tantamount to cutting off their financial routes.

Many salt dealers sent people to Lingnan to assassinate the king of Han, but unfortunately none of them succeeded. Not only did they not succeed in killing the king of Han, but they lost their own lives.

The dragon guards sent by the emperor to protect Zhao Yao were not vegetarians. They are the secret guards that the emperor has spent a lot of effort and specially trained.

The dragon guards are strong in martial arts, and they also have unique skills. With them by Zhao Yao's side to protect him, let alone people, even the cow ghosts, snakes, and gods can't hurt him by half a point.

Zhao Yao did not know that the inland salt dealers had sent people to assassinate him, and after he learned that the imperial court had made new salt and sold it in many places, so that the price of salt in many places had stabilized, he no longer paid attention to the matter of new salt. He is now busy sending the latest glass and mirrors to the capital

There are a lot of glass products made in this batch, and each of them is very exquisite. Zhao Yao divided this batch of glass products into several parts and sent them to the capital, and one to the palace to the emperor. This one given to the emperor should also be divided into several parts. Of the emperor's this, the biggest one is the emperor. The others should be given to Concubine Liang, Concubine Li, Concubine Ying, and of course, the queen and Concubine Rong.

The reason why Zhao Yao sent some glass and mirrors to Empress Xie and Concubine Rong was because he wanted to do business with them.

Zhao Yao sent several boxes of glass products and mirrors to the King of Chu and the King of Wei. Of course, he also gave some to King Dai and King Jing, thanking them for giving him money in the first place. Before Zhao Yao came to Lingnan, although King Dai and King Jing were forced to give him some money, they gave it away. As a younger brother, he should be grateful to them for their original gift.

As for the ministers of the DPRK and China, Zhao Yao did not give them glass and mirrors. It is difficult not to think about it when one of his princes suddenly sent something to the ministers of the court.

These glasses and mirrors were personally sent back to Beijing by Liang Run. When he returned to the capital, he was busy with the glass and mirror business.

When Liang Run arrived in the capital, it was getting late, and it was difficult for him to enter the palace to pay tribute to glass and mirrors, so he went to the palace of the king of Chu first.

When the king of Chu learned that Liang Run wanted to see him, he immediately sent Wei Mian to invite him in.

Liang Run saw the King of Chu and first asked him to check the boxes of things that Zhao Yao gave him, but the King of Chu did not immediately look at it, but first asked Zhao Yao if he was doing in the Swamp Mansion.

Seeing that the King of Chu was first concerned about Zhao Yao's situation, Liang Run was very moved. He briefly told the King of Chu what Zhao Yao had been busy with recently.

Knowing that Zhao Yao was all right in the swamp mansion, the king of Chu felt much more relieved.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, His Royal Highness the King of Han said that he is very good in the Swamp Mansion, so you don't have to worry about him."

The King of Chu didn't see Zhao Yao okay with his own eyes, and he was still worried about him in his heart.

"By the way, before you returned to the capital, was there anyone who was unfavorable to the tenth brother?" The king of Chu had learned that Qilu's salt dealers had sent someone to assassinate Zhao Yao.

"Nope."

"Really, not?" King Chu felt that Liang Run was hiding from him, "Tenth brother is really okay?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, His Royal Highness the King of Han is really fine." Liang Run didn't understand why His Royal Highness the King of Chu asked, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, don't worry, His Royal Highness the King of Han has many guards with strong martial arts around him, and no one can hurt him." ”

King Chu guessed that it should be the Liang family who arranged a strong martial arts guard for Zhao Yao, "The tenth brother is fine." ”

"Don't worry, His Royal Highness King Han is really fine." Yaoyao is not only protected by the secret guards arranged by the emperor, but also guarded by the masters arranged by the second uncle, and it is difficult for anyone to hurt Yaoyao. "By the way, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, His Royal Highness the King of Han will mention the matter of cooperative business in your letter. If you are willing to cooperate with His Royal Highness the King of Han in business, you can send someone to me directly when the time comes. ”

"Why don't you go back to Lingnan?"

"I won't go back to the Swamp Mansion for the time being, and I will go back to the Swamp Mansion after the business arranged by His Royal Highness the King of Han." Liang Run's main task when he returned to Beijing this time was to do business. "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, His Royal Highness the King of Han said that you don't have to do business with him personally, you can send trustworthy people around you to do business with him to make money." It was too unfortunate for the prince to do business in person, so Zhao Yao asked the king of Chu to send people to cooperate with him to do business and make money.

"His Royal Highness King Han also said that money can make ghosts grind, and a penny can stump a hero, so he asked you not to refuse to cooperate in business."

King Chu knew in his heart that Zhao Yao wanted to cooperate with him in business for his own good, and he would not refuse the heart of the tenth brother.

"Okay, I'll send someone to do business with you then." The King of Chu knew that Liang Run would go to the Wei Palace, so he didn't say much to him.

Liang Run did have to go to the Wei Palace, so he didn't stay in the Chu Palace.

After the King of Wei learned that Liang Run had gone to the palace of the king of Chu, he waited for his arrival in the palace.

Seeing Liang Run, King Wei, like King Chu, first asked about Zhao Yao's situation with concern, and after learning that Zhao Yao was fine, he asked about other things.

Liang Run said what he said to the King of Chu again to the King of Wei again. Of course, this also includes the matter of doing business together.

Although the king of Wei had the Southern Wei people to help him do business and make money, the Southern Wei people did not give him all the money without reservation. If he sends his cronies to cooperate with Zhao Yao to do business, then the money he makes will be his. The most important point is that he has his own money, so he doesn't need much money from the Southern Wei people, so he can be less constrained by the Southern Wei people.

Besides, he also knew that the matter of cooperating in business was Zhao Yao's heart, and he couldn't refuse.

King Wei said that in two days, after Liang Run settled down, he would send someone to talk to him about cooperation business.

Liang Run originally thought that King Wei would refuse to cooperate in business, but he didn't expect King Wei to agree, after all, King Wei had the support of the Southern Wei people behind him, and the Southern Wei people were the best at doing business.

King Wei saw that it was not too early, so he left Liang Run down to rest, and asked Liang Run to follow him into the palace early tomorrow morning.

Liang Run did not refuse and stayed in the Wei Palace.

After Liang Run left, King Wei personally opened the things that Zhao Yao gave him. When he saw the exquisite glass in the alley, King Wei gasped in shock. And Yu Hai, who was standing beside him, exclaimed directly.

Boxes of glass shine in the light of candles, and they are not inferior to gold, silver and jewelry.

"Your Highness, this and this ......" Yu Hai was shocked and couldn't say a complete sentence.

King Wei was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, looked at the glass in the alley with amazement, and exclaimed, "It's really exquisite! With that, he reached for a glass vase. The vase is crystal clear throughout, with a faint teal color, which is very beautiful.

"Your Highness, isn't this really Liuli?" There is glass in the palace of King Wei, and Yu Hai has seen it.

"The glass is not so crystal clear." King Wei picked up another set of tea sets and looked at it. This tea set is light blue throughout, and the teacups are carved with blooming plum blossoms.

"Your Highness, you're right, Liuli is not so beautiful!" Yu Hai was full of admiration for Zhao Yao at this time, "Your Highness, it is not an exaggeration to describe this glass with ingenuity, His Royal Highness the King of Han is really too powerful, he can make such a beautiful and amazing thing, is this really something that people can make?" ”

"Others can't do it, but the tenth brother can do it." King Wei said with pride on his face, "Every time the tenth brother makes something, he is shocked, and this glass is no exception. ”

Yu Hai said with admiration on his face: "His Royal Highness the King of Han is really amazing! ”
