Conditions

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao didn't give any reaction. She was really unhappy about what happened at the beginning.

When King Jin next to him saw this, he smiled and said, "Let the past be in the past. It's a good thing that King Ning has this intention."

"Yaoyao, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao glanced at King Jin again and wondered why this guy seemed abnormal today.

However, he still nodded along with his words and said, "King Jin is right, it's all over."

"You just said that I will be your royal aunt in the future, and I can be considered your elder, so there is no need to mention that matter in the future."

"Prince Ning, please sit down and let's get down to business. I'm afraid you came here today not just to apologize."

She was too lazy to continue talking to Prince Ning in a pretentious manner.

"Speaking of which, I was forced to come here this time and had no choice."

Prince Ning, who sat down again, had a look of helplessness on his face and continued, "A few days ago, I received a letter from Duke Zhen Guo, saying that I could have contact with people from the Han family."

"Not long ago, I met people from the Han family, and I heard that they wanted to cooperate with me."

"oh?"

Lu Yaoyao was a little surprised. Is Prince Ning so direct today?

She looked at Prince Jin next to her and saw Prince Jin nodded slowly.

Now, she somewhat understood why Prince Jin was not normal today. She had known Prince Ning's attitude for a long time.

This is to abandon the secret and turn to the light. Think about it, he is the key to disintegrating the power of Zhen Guogong. Since the other party has this intention, it is natural to have good communication with him.

"I wonder what kind of cooperation they offer?"

"What else can there be? Ever since the princess came up with the snowflake salt, the Han family's business has suffered a big blow."

"I heard from them that the income dropped by nearly 60%."

This is no exaggeration at all. The quality of snowflake salt is good and the price is low. Although the current supply is not large, it is barely used in many places.

However, the quality of Han's salt is poor and the price is still high, so naturally it cannot be sold, so the price has to be reduced in order to sell.

And in those areas where snowflake salt is sold, even if the price is reduced, it is not easy to sell, and the income will naturally be greatly reduced.

Nowadays, the places where the Han family can make money are in areas not covered by snowflakes and salt.

The imperial court produced a large amount of salt every day. Although it was a consumable, it was not consumed very quickly. After all, a pound of salt could not be used up by ordinary people in one day.

The imperial court's salt mills produce tens of thousands of kilograms of this every day, and there will always be a little snowflake salt to form a comprehensive coverage. By then, will Han's salt still have room to survive?

"They said that the only condition for supporting my ascension to the throne is for me to obtain the method of making snowflake salt and give it to them."

"Oh? Then the prince came here today to ask about how to make snowflake salt?"

Lu Yaoyao asked with a half-smile.

"Of course not. I am not a fool. Over the years, the Han family has relied on salt to control most of Dongzhou's economic lifeline, holding back the country's development."

"It's because of the emergence of snowflake salt that the country's salt industry has improved greatly. If we let them control it again, won't all the wealth in Dongzhou fall into their hands in the future?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao smiled.

"Your Highness understands this, but since Duke Zhen has already contacted you, will you lose Duke Zhen's support by doing this?"

"If you lose, you will definitely lose. I really want to be in the position, but this is always the final decision of my father. To be honest with the princess, I sometimes think that if Duke Zhen Guo is not my uncle, that position will be

Isn’t it already my king’s?”

It seems that he still wants the position of prince. Lu Yaoyao is not disgusted with this at all. After all, this prince is indeed very tempting to some people.

Of course, because of his attitude, Lu Yaoyao had a little more trust in what he just said.

I want that position, but I am not willing to be controlled and used by others, so I abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. This reason is reasonable.

"I can hand over the method of snowflake salt to His Highness, but I have a condition."

"No, I can't ask for it, and Princess, you can't be confused. My coming here today is just a formality, to let those people see that I am here to do something. There is no guarantee whether it will be successful or not."

Prince Ning shook his head and refused.

This actually made Lu Yaoyao look at him high again.

"Your Highness, don't be anxious yet. Let me explain the conditions first."

"Yes, Prince Ning, please listen to the conditions stated by the princess first. Even if you want to reply and say that the struggle has failed, there must be a reason, right?"

Hearing this, Prince Ning nodded and signaled Lu Yaoyao to continue.

"My conditions are very simple. It is said that the Han family still controls more than 70% of Dongzhou's salt mine resources. As long as they are willing to transfer 40% of the salt mine resources to me, I will give them the method of making this snowflake salt."

them."

"If they don't want to, then they can just wait and die holding on to those resources."

"The princess is planning to add more manpower recently. I believe it won't be long before the daily output of snowflake salt will reach 50,000 kilograms. By then, it will cover the entire Dongzhou, but it is only a matter of time."

"I am a businessman, and I will get benefits if I hand over the method to the court. The Han family can't think of any benefits, so they just get the method. This is how business people do it, don't you think so?"

Prince Ning nodded again, a little surprised that Lu Yaoyao's appetite was so big.

As soon as I ask for 40% of the Han family's salt mine resources, I still prepare to eat meat myself and the Han family to drink soup.

But thinking about it, this seems normal. People hold the lifeblood of the Han family in their hearts. If they don't give it, they will die. If they give it, they can still have some soup to drink.

"I will tell them the princess's condition. As for whether I will agree to it or not, I can't say."

"It doesn't matter. When it comes to business, we always come and go."

The purpose of this trip was achieved, so Prince Ning didn't stay long. After sitting for a while, he stood up and left.

As for Prince Jin, who had nothing to do now, he might as well stay in the villa to accompany his future wife instead of staying at his own house when he returned to the capital, so he did not go back with Prince Ning.

"It seems that Prince Ning has gained a lot of brains recently."

"Isn't this just right?"

"He is willing to take the initiative to cooperate with us, which is better than passively looking for it."

King Jin smiled and said.

"However, I still don't trust him very much."

"I didn't intend to trust them, but they were just using each other. He wanted to strengthen his power and get rid of the situation of being a puppet in the future."

"We want to use him to dismantle the power of the Zhen Guogong faction."

"He is easy to deal with, but Duke Zhenguo is the big trouble."

Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded. Indeed, compared to Prince Ning, Duke Zhen Guo was indeed the biggest trouble.

"However, will the Han family agree to the condition you just made?"

"Definitely not, but they should be able to bargain, and they will probably give 10%. However, the price in my mind is 30%."

"We don't have to worry anyway."
