The matter of salt and iron restructuring did not cause any waves among the people for the time being, but it was an earth-shattering event in the DPRK.

Especially when he knew that Ran Fang wanted to get three percent of the benefits, the government and the opposition all speculated, what was the reason for this matter?

But no matter what these people think, this matter has become a foregone conclusion, and Ran Fang has also become a hot figure in Xianyang City.

These Hu Hai are all in their eyes, but they can only be anxious in their hearts.

He was pacing back and forth in his palace, looking out from time to time, as if he was afraid that he had missed something.

Glancing at the courtyard and seeing that someone was coming, he hurriedly ran towards the door.

"Sir, you're here at last!"

Zhao Gao glanced at Hu Hai, and he knew in his heart that it must be Ran Fang's matter that had reached his ears.

He didn't rush to ask Hu Hai, he saluted respectfully first, so that people couldn't make mistakes.

"I've seen the second son."

Hu Hai directly helped Zhao Gao up, and the nervous look on his face couldn't be faked.

"Sir, it's time for this, don't do these false courtesies."

"Now that Ran Fang has succeeded, and he has also got a profit of thirty percent, this is a ...... What should I do? ”

This result was also a bit unexpected for Zhao Gao.

He didn't expect Ran Fang to be so bold and dare to negotiate conditions with the imperial court.

I didn't expect that His Majesty would really agree to let Ran Fang get such a big profit alone, and Ran Fang would definitely be his biggest obstacle in the future.

This Ran Fang, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay.

His face was full of sadness, and he sighed and said, "Second son, this matter has become a foregone conclusion, I'm afraid I have no power to return to the sky." ”

"If you want to change, I'm afraid it's difficult......"

Hearing this, Hu Hai's face was a little embarrassed, and more disappointed.

After a while, he raised his head suddenly, looked at Zhao Gao suddenly, walked up to him, and whispered, "Sir, if it's us...... Can? ”

Zhao Gao knew in his heart, what he told Hu Hai last time, it seems that Hu Hai has already taken care of it.

And with himself behind the scenes, I'm afraid that now Hu Hai's heart is even a little impatient for this matter.

But he still looked anxious, and advised with some embarrassment: "Second son, after all, this matter is related to Daqin's livelihood, and it is better to think long-term." ”

Hu Hai's face sank, he didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Zhao Gao would retreat.

"Sir, the news of this Xianyang City has already spread, I am afraid that there will be salt merchants from all over the world entering Xianyang in the near future, as long as the Xianyang Prison is looser, this matter will definitely be done."

"You can't give up halfway now!"

Don't blame Hu Hai for being in a hurry, last time Zhao Gao said in his ear, as long as Fusu is gone, what kind of climate can Ran Fang become alone?

Even if His Majesty favors Ran Fang again, he must rely on it.

As soon as he heard this, he immediately thought about it, as long as he didn't let Fusu get out of Xianyang Prison alive, wouldn't it be possible?

As a result, at a critical moment, Zhao Gao actually retreated?

"Sir, this matter can't just be left at that!"

Zhao Gao shook his head and patted Hu Hai's hand gently.

"Second son, don't be in a hurry about this matter."

"The slave just didn't expect that Ran Fang really had such great ability."

"Now that things have changed, I'm afraid that even if Fusu dies in Xianyang Prison, Your Majesty will not blame Ran Fang, and this plan of killing two birds with one stone will not be used."

"But...... There is still a way to do this. ”

Hearing this, Hu Hai looked a little excited, he took Zhao Gao's hand, and he didn't care about any courtesy.

"What's the solution?"

Zhao Gao squinted his eyes slightly, approached Hu Hai's ear, and whispered: "Second son, do you think, if this method of making salt is known to others, then who will Your Majesty suspect first?" ”

"Ran Fang!"

Hu Hai replied without thinking, his eyes were very firm.

After speaking, he immediately understood what Zhao Gao meant, this matter is to put it bluntly, the most critical place is the method of making salt.

As long as this method leaks out, then Ran Fang will have no value to use.

"Sir, I see."

"But...... Will those salt merchants listen to me? ”

Zhao Gao looked at him lovingly, his eyes full of concern.

"Don't worry, the slave will help you with this."

"As long as it's for the good of the second son, the slave is willing to do anything."

Hu Hai was very moved by these words, and he knew that the only person who cared about him the most in the world was Zhao Gao.

"Thank you, sir."

……

Xianyang Prison.

Gu Zongmin personally sent the contract over, and stood there in fear, for fear that he had said something wrong.

However, Ran Fang's expression was as usual, and he glanced at the contract and put it on the table.

"Sit down."

"Mr. Xie."

After speaking, Gu Zongmin knelt opposite Ran Fang, sitting there motionless, waiting for Ran Fang's orders.

Fusu took the contract on the table, read it word by word, and made sure that there was no problem, so he put the contract away and put it on the shelf exclusive to Ran Fang.

This scene looked very harmonious, and Gu Zongmin, who was sitting there, was not surprised this time, but admired Ran Fang a little in his heart.

He took the basket beside him, took out a plate of beef that was the same as last time, and gently placed it on the table.

"Please sir, this is a corned beef made with sir's refined salt, and the taste is indeed much better."

The last time Zhang Han sent beef to Ran Fang, Gu Zongmin also knew about it, after all, the method of making beef was also dedicated to Zhang Han.

At that time, he had also heard what Ran Fang said at that time, and after getting Ran Fang's salt this time, he immediately made it again, wanting to see what the difference was.

Ran Fang didn't say anything polite to him, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of light beef, put it in his mouth and chewed it gently, and his eyes suddenly brightened a little.

"That's what it tastes like!"

"You can taste it too," he said, gesturing Fusu with his eyes.

Fusu had eaten beef, and his mouth was full of praise, "It's indeed a lot better than before." ”

Seeing that the two of them were satisfied, Gu Zongmin relieved himself.

After eating beef, Fusu was sure that Ran Fang was in a good mood now, and asked, "Sir, I don't know something." ”

"What?" Ran Fang turned his head to look at Fusu, he was in a good mood at the moment, and he had a little more patience with Fusu.

Fusu pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Ri said that what Daqin has to do now is to pacify the people of Kanto, which is the foundation of Daqin. ”

"But in the place where Kanto thinks, if there are traders who deceive their superiors and subordinates, steal the method of making refined salt from Mr., and sell it privately, what should be done? Do we still want to let it go? ”

Ran Fang turned his head to look at Fusu, and then at Gu Zongmin who was sitting there, with a smile on his face.

Sneered: "Can Great Qin control all places now? ”

Fusu shook his head, now all places nominally belong to Daqin, but their hearts are not in Daqin, I am afraid that only they know.

"If you can't control it, why bother thinking about it?"

Ran Fang's tone was very calm, so that people couldn't hear his joy and anger.

Seeing that Fusu was still a little puzzled, he continued: "Those nobles of the old land can't really submit to the Great Qin, so don't care what they want, just manage the lives of the people of the old Great Qin." ”

"The common people know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and when they see the wealth of the Kanto region, they will naturally make the right choice."

"As for this method of making salt, I also have my own selfishness, even if they learn it, they can't learn the essence."

"The salt of the gourd is painted in the same way, and it has an empty surface, and I am afraid that I will not get its connotation, so I will not worry."

"As for the salt merchants, I'm afraid they won't settle down......"
