This matter was originally for Ran Fang to deal with, but recently he was busy making money, so he forgot about it.

However, since Fusu has mentioned it now, it means that he has been paying attention to this matter, so it is okay to leave this matter to him.

Thinking of this, Ran Fang's eyes looked at Fusu with some eagerness.

"Has the prince of Fusu ever been in contact with that peddler's pawn and the rich merchant's armor?"

Although he didn't know why Ran Fang had this question, Fusu still shook his head honestly.

"Haven't touched it."

Hearing this, Ran Fang sat up straight.

He looked at Fusu with burning eyes and said, "Since the prince of Fusu is the eldest son of Great Qin, the things that he cares about should be the affairs of the world, and he can't just be confined to the court and books. ”

"There is a sentence that I hope that Fusu Gongzi will remember, what is on paper will eventually be shallow, and he will never know that he must do it."

"Therefore, you should contact more people, and practice what you think and learn before you can truly understand the truth."

"Now that those people have sneaked into Xianyang, they naturally have secrets."

"If Fusu Gongzi can figure out what they want and want, it will also be of great help to things later, how about it?"

"Moreover, if you talk about this matter, your majesty will be very pleased, and you will be greatly praised in front of the ministers."

Since the two lived together in Xianyang Prison, the interaction between the two was that Ran Fang said that Fusu would do it, and now when he heard Ran Fang say this, Fusu did not have the slightest dissatisfaction.

He even nodded, feeling that Ran Fang was exercising himself.

looked at Ran Fang gratefully, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. for your advice." ”

"Then I will investigate the matter of the salt merchant."

"I heard that my father asked Mr. to be in charge of this matter, but if there is any news, I will inform Mr."

Ran Fang nodded, he could still meet this request.

"However, since they don't want people to know that they can still enter Xianyang City, it means that there must be an internal response in the court."

"Don't startle the snake during this time, but you can catch the cicada with the praying mantis, and the yellow finch is behind, investigate who they are connected to?"

"When the time comes, if you get them to pay bribes and collude with officials and businessmen, then things will be simpler."

The expression on Fusu's face became more and more delighted, knowing that this was Ran Fang pointing him out.

It's just that after thinking for a second, he couldn't help asking: "Then is it time to arrest corrupt officials, or to solve the matter of salt and iron first?" ”

"And if the corrupt officials are discovered, will they sneak away?"

"When the time comes, will it be passive?"

Ran Fang shook his head, a cold color flashing in his eyes.

He said lightly: "From the time of collusion with businessmen, those officials should have thought about these things. ”

"In the face of interests, people will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, if you let the officials know that it was the businessmen who exposed them, they must have personally come to find evidence of the crime."

"Also, immediately order to go down and let the local government send troops to encircle the salt ponds, salt wells and iron mines in various places, and no one can leave these places until this matter is resolved!"

Although Fusu doesn't like those methods, he can understand what he should understand.

He guessed that Ran Fang wanted to make those businessmen have no way out, and no matter what they wanted to do, it would depend on whether he agreed or not.

"Thank you, sir."

Fusu, who got the answer, was also relieved, and left Ran Fang's mansion happily, feeling a little more grateful to Ran Fang in his heart.

……

Sure enough, a few days later, these merchants received the news that their family's salt fields had been taken over by the government.

Originally, when he was leisurely befriending officials and wanted to seek more protection for himself, he received the news, and those businessmen all gathered together, wanting to put pressure on His Majesty to take back his life.

And the money they had discussed before to give to Fusu was also handed over by the middleman.

It's just that Fusu didn't accept it, but asked the person who sent the money to pass the word, and invited a few businessmen to come to the house for a detailed discussion two days later.

In this way, these people originally wanted to use money to say good things in front of Fusu, but it seems that they can't do it anymore.

The time of two days passed in a flash, and even if the people of the four major families wanted to refuse, the person who picked them up had already arrived at the door, so they reluctantly followed.

Fusu set the location in a courtyard, although it was not as luxurious as his mansion, but he could also see the majesty of the prince of Great Qin.

Hundreds of soldiers stood on both sides, their eyes full of murderous intent, and several merchants were terrified, for fear that they would accidentally lose their lives here.

When they came in, they saw Fusu already sitting there, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

Miao Yutang, who was dressed in coarse cloth, stood in the middle with a slight bow, compared to the soldiers waiting for him next to him, he looked a lot shabby.

Looking at the few people around Miao Yutang, they are more ordinary than the other, especially the timid Rong Ming, and the clothes on his body still have patches, so he can't tell that this is a businessman from the rich side at all.

After a few people stood still, Miao Yutang spoke first, his tone was trembling, his movements were cautious, and he bent down and saluted Fusu: "See Fusu Gongzi." ”

Looking at what they were wearing, Fusu knew that these people would never spit out their salt pans easily.

He wasn't worried, there was a way given by Ran Fang, even if these people didn't want to, they couldn't help it.

However, the face that should be given still has to be given.

"Sit."

Several people glanced at each other, and they all saw the panic in each other's eyes, as if Fusu's words made their hearts tremble a few times.

But they didn't make the slightest movement, and it was clear that they didn't want to sit down.

Miao Yutang took the initiative to say: "How dare you be on an equal footing with Fusu Gongzi." ”

"I'm just a lowly businessman, if I accidentally offend the prince of Fusu, then I can't escape the blame for waiting for death."

"It's better to just stand, just according to the instructions of the gentleman, there is no other word!"

Although the words are humble, the meaning of these words is not so.

They were urging Fusu, hoping that he would take the money and return the salt fields to them, and that the two sides would not interfere with each other, and that they would not think about restraining each other.

Thinking of Ran Fang's orders, they now guessed that the imperial court knew about the collusion between officials and businessmen, so they should be terrified.

In this way, the initiative should be in their own hands.

Thinking like this, Fusu didn't say anything to let them sit down, as if he didn't see the coarse rags on their bodies.

He sat there, took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "I heard that a few people have been in Xianyang for some time, and they must have some understanding of Xianyang, so I won't be polite with a few people." ”

"A few days ago, you sent money over, I don't know why?"

"Didn't you know that there is something going on in the court now, and you need to be generous, so a few people have come to solve problems for the court?"

Originally, giving gifts in private, this can't be said on the surface.

But Fusu not only said it, but also asked them to admit that they wanted to solve the problem for the DPRK and China, how could this be done?

But if you don't admit it, it is bribing the prince, and this crime is big.

Rong Ming, who was dressed in rags, saluted respectfully and said, "Fusu Gongzi Mingcha, those silver coins were given to the imperial court by us." ”

"This is all the belongings I am waiting for, and I hope that my son will not dislike it."

"As for the problems encountered by the DPRK and China, although we have the heart to help, we really can't do anything about it."
