Seeing that the scientific research institute was fine, Li Changfeng returned home with peace of mind.

Emperor Qianwu, on the other hand, had no intention of sleeping.

The artillery battalion is his most important thing, and what the Eight Great Families have done is equivalent to touching his scales, and Emperor Qianwu has mobilized almost all his hidden forces to investigate.

After Li Changfeng returned home, he didn't sleep, changed into a human skin mask and went to Skynet's stronghold, and asked Skynet to mobilize all his energy to investigate at this time.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Changfeng received the results of the investigation, and this time it was the Zhao family who was the main one who acted against the artillery battalion, and the Wang family secretly fully cooperated.

Li Changfeng was not surprised by this result.

The refined salt has been sold for such a long time, although the Wang family has not made any trouble, but they will definitely worry that the improvement of the refined salt process will affect the sales of the official salt they control in the future.

This is a pillar industry that provides them with nearly 10 million silver income every year, and they will definitely not sit idly by.

As for why the Wang family did not engage in his refined salt, but went to the bottom of the artillery battalion, it was obviously very jealous of the big killing weapons that might be hidden in the artillery battalion.

Before finding out Emperor Qianwu's hole cards, neither the Wang family nor the Zhao family dared to make rash moves.

Seek and then act, this is the consistent style of the eight families, and the picture is a "stable" word.

Since the Wang family was also involved in this matter, Li Changfeng would not sit idly by, and immediately ordered the refined salt factory in Baishi City to produce refined salt at full capacity.

From now on, he will go all out to hoard refined salt, and start wrestling with the Wang family, preparing to snatch back this lucrative business.

The other side.

Emperor Qianwu also received the same investigation results and was furious.

"Bastard, the Wang family is also involved in this matter, and they don't even take me seriously at all!"

"Your Majesty, the Zhao family and the Wang family are so blatantly attacking the artillery battalion, obviously not only to spy on the secrets inside, but also to be afraid of death and want to plot against the artillery!" Gao Dali analyzed with a gloomy face.

"His heart can be punished!" Emperor Qianwu snorted coldly and said, "In addition, I sold refined salt before, and now I suppress the Zhao family, which makes the Wang family feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. ”

"Your Majesty...... In this situation, should we first rein in? Gao Dali thought for a while and asked tentatively.

The two great families will make a move, and the royal family will face tremendous pressure.

Especially the Wang family, who controls the official salt, if there is a move, it will pose a great threat to the stability of the great cadres, after all, no one can leave the salt.

"Convergence?" Emperor Qianwu glared at him and said, "If I take one step back today, they will dare to take two steps forward!" I think what Xiao Jiu said before is very right, and there is no possibility of compromise in this matter! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Seeing that Emperor Qianwu was so resolute, Gao Dali's heart also aroused a lot of pride, and the knife of Dongchang had not been stained with the blood of a traitor for a long time.

"I have to discuss this matter with Xiao Jiu, and send a decree to let him enter the palace to face the saint." Emperor Qianwu thought for a moment and said.

If you want to deal with the Wang family, you can't just talk about it, you have to make adequate preparations, and Li Changfeng's refined salt production is the key.

Soon, Li Changfeng came to the imperial study.

Emperor Qianwu asked Gao Dali to report the results of the investigation to Li Changfeng, and Li Changfeng was not surprised at all, the results of his Tianwang investigation were more detailed than Emperor Qianwu knew.

But on the surface, he still pretended not to know, and after listening to Gao Dali's return, he was furious and said: "Bastard, the Wang family is also involved in this matter, and its wolf ambition is clearly revealed, this matter must not be easily stopped!" ”

Emperor Qianwu was very satisfied with Li Changfeng's performance, nodded and said indifferently: "Since the Wang family dares to take the lead, then I will take care of them, and it would be better if I could take the opportunity to defeat them." ”

Li Changfeng agreed: "The Eight Great Families are parasites on Daqian's body, and they must be defeated!" ”

"I am very pleased that you have such an idea, but if you want to defeat the Wang family, the most important thing is the official salt they control, you must be fully prepared, if they use the official salt to do things, can you handle it here?" Emperor Qianwu asked with a solemn expression.

The vast majority of the salt fields in the world are monopolized by the Wang family, and even if he has the means to take back these salt fields, it is not possible to do it in a while.

If the Wang family suddenly cut off the supply of such important materials related to the national economy and people's livelihood, it will inevitably cause great chaos and plunge the cadres into turmoil.

Li Changfeng knew that the opportunity to monopolize the salt of the big cadres and officials had come, and immediately assured: "Father, the Baishi City Scientific Research Institute has improved the manufacturing technology of refined salt, and the output has been greatly increased, and we have been selling refined salt in limited quantities, and there is a large amount of inventory in the warehouse, even if the Wang family cuts off the supply of coarse salt, we don't have to be afraid!" ”

Emperor Qianwu was overjoyed: "Is this true? ”

"Father, how dare the sons and daughters joke about such a major event related to the country?"

"Great! You continue to secretly produce refined salt in large quantities and get ready to completely defeat the Wang family's monopoly on official salt! ”

Next, the two began to make a detailed plan, and Li Changfeng did not return home until it was dark.

……

Zhang Hong is a coolie who specializes in freight work in the capital, and every day he has to push a wheelbarrow to transport a large number of materials to major merchants, and his physical exertion is very large, and the salt he always puts in his meals is heavier.

this day.

After Zhang Hong ate lunch, he soon developed symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, and heartburn.

At first, he was still enduring it, but as the abdominal pain gradually worsened, Zhang Hong lay on the ground in pain and screamed, and was sent to Langzhong.

Langzhong's diagnosis was salt poisoning.

Zhang Hong, who was angry, went to Dali Temple to complain when his symptoms were mild, and asked the Wang family for an explanation.

Lin Zixuan, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, is a frail and sickly scholar, and his taste has always been heavier, because he can't afford the refined salt sold by Li Changfeng, and he has always eaten the official salt of the Wang family.

On this day, after eating lunch, he developed symptoms of palpitations, difficulty breathing, and angina, so he was on bed rest.

I thought that I could improve my symptoms by resting for a while, but after a stick of incense, the symptoms not only did not reduce, but became more serious.

He had projectile vomiting, tinnitus and fatigue, and his family had to quickly invite Lang Zhong for treatment.

The result of Lang Zhong's diagnosis was also salt poisoning.

With the help of Lang Zhong, after Lin Zixuan's symptoms were alleviated, he immediately wrote a statement and went to Dali Temple to complain that the Wang family's official salt had a problem, and wanted to ask for an explanation.

The official salt of this world is extremely coarse, and in the final analysis, it is a crystalline obtained by drying the brine in seawater and salt wells, which contains a large amount of barium salts, chlorides, magnesium, lead, arsenic, zinc, sulfate and other impurities.

Once this quality of salt is consumed in excess, or a certain toxic and harmful substance exceeds the standard, it will immediately cause salt poisoning.
