The Qiankun Empire was not near the sea, the number of salt mines was limited, and salt was not rich, so it had to be imported from neighboring countries.

The empire also knew the importance of salt, and even if the price of salt from the salt mines in several territories was set by the empire, the same was true for the salt from outside, which was signed by agreement.

And this time, the sudden increase in the price of salt in the Dali Kingdom immediately caused chaos in Hengshan Ling, and the price of salt continued to rise, and the people would of course rush to buy it.

Hengshan was in a hurry, where could he still care about being angry with Jiang Xingchen, and hurriedly wrote a letter to the empire, if the common people couldn't afford to eat salt, it would be a mess.

The other lords looked at each other, they were full of joy just now, but in the blink of an eye, they became like this, and the sudden change made them feel awkward all over. But now that Hengshan has led such a thing, they can't help, they want to leave, and they feel that it is not appropriate.

About a month (month), Heng Shanhou came back, at this time he had no anger at all, his expression was a little trance, his body was also a little rickety, and he was still holding a blank piece of paper in his hand.

Several lords hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Heng Shanhou, have you finished writing a letter to the empire?"

Heng Shanhou grinned a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, did not speak, and put the letter paper in his hand on the table. He had just finished writing the letter, and before he could send it, the Empire's notice had arrived.

One of the lords picked up the letterhead, and it said that the price of salt had risen this time.

The Dali Kingdom did not adjust the price privately, but notified the empire in advance, and Dali was prolific in sea salt, but in the further stage, piracy was rampant and often harassed the coast. As a result, the official salt production has been greatly reduced, and now the salt in Dali is a little tight from the country, and the price control has to be raised......

The letter roughly explained the reasons for the price increase in the Great Departure Kingdom. Then there was the Sue Sù Heng Mountain, and the imperial treasury was empty after the great flood.

Although it was not stated in the letter, the meaning of the empire was very clear, and the price increase of the Great Departure Kingdom was due to external factors, and there was nothing to be done. And the empire has no money, you figure it out yourself.

"If the empire has no money, do I have money. With so many people eating salt, how much money do I have to put into it to balance the price of salt!" Heng Shanhou slapped the table suddenly, although Heng Shanling was not big. But there are also millions of people, and he has to pay there.

One of the lords shook his head and said, "The problem now is that Dali is infested by pirates, and his own country is in a tight situation. Maybe when the salt won't be available! The lack of salt is the most troublesome!"

"It's not as good as this. Heng Shan Hou, Grand Duke Zheng Xing has a salt mine there, try to ask him for help!" another lord came up with an idea.

"Yes, although the empire is short of salt, there is no shortage of those three territories, find them to squeeze out some and save the emergency temporarily!"

Heng Shanhou's eyes lit up, nodded and said, "I'm going to write a letter to Grand Duke Zheng Xing!"

"Let's go together. The territory around you is also made of salt from the Great Departure Kingdom, and I will write to ask what is going on over there!"

"I know a businessman who has left the world. Also ask about the situation of Da Li....... "Several people stood up at the same time, Heng Shan waited to lead the way, and hurriedly walked to the study.

At the same time, far away in the lord's mansion of Xingchen Lord, the old man looked at Jiang Xingchen dumbfounded, and spoke for a long time: "Your trick is really lacking in virtue, and it is too yin, how ruthless can you come, this is forcing Hengshan Hou to death, once the people change their anger, he will be finished!"

Jiang Xingchen sneered and said, "As long as Hengshanhou comes to me, he won't finish, and I still have to buy cheap materials from him!"

Salt, like food, is a necessity for life, and once the price of salt rises, it will definitely cause turmoil. In the last ancient times, almost every dynasty had a special official in charge of salt and iron, and these two things were controlled by the state. Jiang Xingchen still remembers that after the earthquake and the nuclear power plant leaked in the island country, a rumor caused hundreds of people to rush to buy salt, and the shelves of supermarkets were empty, which shows the importance of salt to people's lives.

At this point, the two worlds are the same, so Jiang Xingchen used such a method. Aren't you Hengshanhou can, aren't you afraid of commercial suppression, aren't you self-sufficient, I'll get you stuck from the salt, see what you do.

The old man silently mourned for Hengshan for a moment in his heart, and then asked: "Boy, how did you say that you moved the Dali Kingdom, it won't be that the emperor of Dali is afraid of you...... No, even if he had signed an unequal treaty with you, he wouldn't have risked provoking the empire to raise the price of salt without permission, right?"

"What's the matter, it's like I'm bullying people a lot!" Jiang Xingchen showed a look of dissatisfaction and said, "The Great Departure Kingdom has a good relationship with me, so it's ...... for me."

The old man made an expression of wanting to vomit, and said loudly: "You really have the face to say, people will jam you with your living materials, you have collapsed the walls of several big cities, and forced people to cut land and pay compensation, he will have a good relationship with you, and he can die if he doesn't talk nonsense...... Tell me quickly, what is the reason?"

"Because I'm handsome!"

"Poof!" the old man took a mouthful of old blood and squirted it on the roof, and this little soul was too good at making jokes.

But immediately after, the old man's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "Boy, it's really possible because you are handsome...... I've heard that Emperor Dali has a special hobby......"

Jiang Xingchen suddenly felt his scalp tingle, goosebumps all over his body rose, he jumped up, pointed at the old man and shouted: "Old immortal, if you dare to disgust me, I will fight with you!"

The old man smirked, which was called a smug, and said, "Yes, let your kid get sè with me, hurry up, why did Da Li help you?"

"Actually, you know, I have a great benefit to give to the Dali Kingdom, and they can't refuse it...... Besides, it's not just about leaving the kingdom!"

"Uh!" After listening to Jiang Xingchen's words, the old man was even more confused, I know everything, not only by virtue of the Great Departure Kingdom, who else is ......

The old man was pondering this, Jiang Xingchen stood up and strode out of the door.

The old man woke up, hurriedly chased after him, and said loudly: "Boy, you make it clear, what do I know...... Who else is there in this matter but the Great Departure Kingdom......"

Usually a day always passes quickly, but today is like a year for Hengshanhou, and the letter is written, but when I wait for the reply, every minute and second is so long.

From daytime until late at night, Grand Duke Zheng Xing's reply arrived. The moment he saw the result, Hengshan Hou collapsed suddenly, and the result was completely opposite to what he expected, Grand Duke Zheng Xing had no salt there, except for his own use, the salt was transferred by the empire. And the letter reminded him that the other two territories should not be counted on.

"The empire is transferred, how can it be so coincidental, but the empire will transfer the salt away when I need it......!

The other lords wanted to persuade Heng Shanhou, but they didn't know how to speak. If the road of Grand Duke Zheng Xing is going to be impassable, then he can only wait for Hengshan to take money inside.

At this time, several of them regretted a little, why did they care about face and did not leave early. What if Heng Shanhou reaches out to them to borrow money......

It was at this time that the second letter came back, from the two surrounding lords, who also used the sea salt of the Great Departure Kingdom.

But when they saw this letter, the eyes of several lords widened suddenly, and then the corners of their mouths twitched, revealing a wry smile.

"What's wrong?" Heng Shanhou looked at a few people suspiciously.

"Heng Shanhou, take a look!" one of them handed him the letter.

"It's them!" Heng Shanhou narrowed his eyes suddenly, and the letter said that the other two territories were helped by the Tianxia Commercial Bank, and the price of salt was stable.

"Could it be a conspiracy!" At this time, several lords felt that something was wrong. The appearance of the world's commercial banks is too timely and too coincidental.

Just as they were suspicious, a third letter came back, from the merchant of the Great Departure Kingdom. When he saw this letter, Heng Shanhou and several lords seemed to be drowning in the water, and they felt difficult to breathe. The letter said that the price of salt in the kingdom was normal, and that there had been no news of pirate attacks.

There was no on the side of the kingdom, but he sent a notice to the empire to find an excuse to raise the price of salt. And the empire just agreed, even they can ask the results casually with a letter, the empire wants to investigate the truth of the kingdom is not simple, but in fact, the empire obviously did not investigate, or did not investigate at all.

Then contact the Tianxia Commercial Bank to appear in the other two territories so coincidentally to help them stabilize the price of salt. If Heng Shanhou can't see that someone is specifically dealing with him, he will be really an idiot.

"Jiang Xingchen, it must be Jiang Xingchen, he actually used such a method!" Heng Shanhou roared loudly, his face flushed, and his teeth were about to be crushed. The world trading house appeared, and he cut off Ruifeng's raw materials two days ago, which made it clear that it was Jiang Xingchen's revenge and forced himself to compromise.

And the other party didn't even hide the real situation over there, just to let himself see clearly, you slapped me, and I gave you ten mouths, so arrogant, so domineering, Heng Shanhou was so angry that his whole body trembled, it was too deceitful!

It's just that Heng Shanhou completely forgot at this time how he was in Heijiang Xingchen and how he stuck Ruifeng Resources.

"Heng Shanhou, calm down! The appearance of the Tianxia Commercial House clearly shows that it is Jiang Xingchen's conspiracy, but have you thought about it, why would the empire push it around?" asked a lord.

"Yes, why did the empire do this, isn't the emperor at odds with Jiang Xingchen. The turmoil some time ago, if it weren't for the appraisal of the Imperial Monthly, it would definitely not be so big!" Heng Shanhou was also stunned, puzzled.

At this time, another letter was delivered, belonging to the Fang family in the capital, and it only said one thing, that is, the emperor had transferred the eldest prince to the Praetorian Guard, and the Xingchen Monthly was handed over to the second prince to manage.

Seeing this news, Heng Shanhou and several lords all collapsed on their chairs, and the Great Emperor actually transferred the Great Prince away, isn't this just to appease Jiang Xingchen's dissatisfaction!

"Jiang Xingchen and the Great Emperor joined forces again, and they actually took me under the knife!" Heng Shanhou completely lost his temper at this time, and his face was bitter. No matter how important the face is, it can't compare to the family and territory, so it's okay not to compromise.

Early the next morning, a carriage galloped out of the Hengshan Houfu and went straight to the star in the northwest. (To be continued......)
