Chapter 482; Difficulty

These three short words made Prince Jin take a deep breath.

What kind of outrageous thing did Ming Ming do to make Lu Yaoyao so angry?

In his understanding, although Lu Yaoyao has tricks, he is a very kind person at heart. This can be seen by looking at the treatment of thousands of people in Chengyuan Villa.

Therefore, when Lu Yaoyao asked him just now if he thought she was cruel, he immediately shook his head.

Born into a royal family, he was most used to cruel methods.

He never thought that women must be kind, after all, he had seen the tricks of the women in the harem.

That one who is not kind on the surface but is actually ruthless?

Lu Yaoyao was his future princess. If he didn't even have this method, he would really have to worry about whether he would be in danger in the future.

Being appropriately cruel to the enemy is nothing to him.

And based on his understanding of Lu Yaoyao, if he could make her do this, the Gao family must have brought it upon themselves.

"According to the news you just heard, it means that the Han family only has 60% of the salt mine resources in their hands now?"

"Yes, not only is it only 60%, but in the past few months, the Han family's income has also shrunk significantly, and some cracks have begun to appear within the Han family."

A powerful family has a very complex internal network of relationships.

When it's good, everyone appears to be united.

Once the benefits are lost, many trivial dissatisfactions from the past will be brought out bit by bit.

"This is normal. Han Jiaguang has thousands of his own clan members, and he also has many officials and scholars under his command."

"These people will receive a portion of monetary resources from the Han family every month. The higher their position, the more they will get."

"Although the Han family has made a lot of money over the years, in fact, only a small part of it can be kept, and the majority has been dispersed by them."

"In the past few months, the Han family has been unable to make ends meet. It would be strange if there were no problems."

If a family wants to maintain it, it needs to spend a huge amount of resources and money.

Because the Han family has insufficient foundation, and none of its own children are particularly outstanding, most of them are recruited from outside.

Just like the original Ming Dynasty, wasn't it also the Han family who won over by marrying off their daughter?

Although the Han family spent a lot of resources on **Ming in those years, it is undeniable that **Ming's own abilities are also very good.

Otherwise, it would not have been so many years before such a high-ranking person emerged from the Han family faction.

"Actually, I really hope they don't agree and continue to drag it out like this."

"Within three to five months, they will start to cause chaos themselves."

After hearing her words, King Jin also laughed.

Indeed, the Han family is a hostile force after all. If they are allowed to continue to exist, no one knows what kind of sparks they will have with Duke Zhen in the future.

It's good to be destroyed, but if you want to destroy the Han family so easily, you can only think about it.

"I think there's a good chance that they will agree."

"Although 40% is a bit more, it's better than starting a mess and waiting to die."

"And I heard that King Ning advised the Han family to let them give up the Dongzhou market and expand outward to make money from other countries."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao smiled and said, "Prince Ning still has such a brain?"

"Of course it's impossible for him to think of it on his own. It's probably the staff around him."

"But this can be regarded as digging a big hole for the Han family. If the Han family really thinks this way, then they are really not far from destruction."

"Indeed, it seems like a good idea to expand into foreign markets."

"Giving up one country in East China and gaining access to the markets of three countries, it is not easy to do it."

"The Han family may have had foreign channels in the past, but the salt is at the same level as others, and some small markets just give it away."

"But if they put snowflake salt in there, it will break the balance. They think they can seize the foreign market, but they don't know that they are courting death."

The situation in the surrounding Three Kingdoms is very different from that in Dongzhou. Almost all the salt mines in the Three Kingdoms are in the hands of the royal family or the court.

That is one of the largest economic sources for other countries.

If you, the Han family, put the snowflake salt over, it would be equivalent to taking food from other people's mouths.

Can others help you?

The blockade is light, and it may even directly clean up all the forces in the three countries surrounding the Han family.

I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the Han family to gain a foothold in the three neighboring countries in the future.

Without the foundation of the Three Kingdoms, we can only stay in Dongzhou and be eaten away bit by bit.

"But the people of the Han family are not fools. There is no way they can't see this."

"No matter what they do, I have already made my conditions. Even if I don't agree, I have no loss."

"And I have decided that even if they want to bargain with me, I will not give them a chance. They must get 40%."

The Han family must be cleaned up. If they dare to make her uncomfortable, they must teach her a painful lesson.

Although we don’t want to let the Han family be completely wiped out like we did with the Gao family, we should at least prevent them from making any trouble in the future.

"Master, I think what Prince Ning said makes sense. It is definitely not possible for the Han family to continue to stay in Dongzhou with the current situation."

Ever since the news came to the Han family in Hedong, the top leaders of the family were immediately divided into two factions.

The first faction is headed by the head of the family and is not prepared to compromise.

The other group, led by some family elders, planned to agree to Lu Yaoyao's conditions and obtain the production method of snowflake salt first, thereby shifting the Han family's main market from Dongzhou to the other three countries.

After all, the Han family is now unable to make ends meet and is in urgent need of additional funds. Although there are many 40% salt mines, without the method of making snowflake salt, what if they have 90% of the resources?

It will still be slowly devoured, and the most important thing is that without money income, the people that the Han family has attracted will slowly disperse, and many years of hard work will be in vain.

"If we can't stay in Dongzhou, why don't we just go to the three surrounding countries?"

"You don't want to think about what's going on in the three surrounding countries. How closely are they keeping an eye on them? Didn't we make money quietly in the past?"

"You are also expanding the markets of the three countries. Are you treating the courts of those three countries as fools?"

An elder from the family head's faction said coldly.

"But apart from doing this, what other options are there?"

"Continue to delay like this? How long can we delay? Don't you know what the past few months have been like?"

"Master, why don't you ask the Duke of Zhen for help?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at the head of the Han family.

"I have already mentioned that what he means is that there is nothing he can do."

"It's not like you don't know the current situation. If he wants to help when the time comes, he has to be able to help."
