Chapter 306 [Under the big pit dug by Bai Dong]

Lu Zhen wore a green robe today, and her skin was fair, like a small green onion with half peeled roots. Seeing her walking into the door with a smile, Zhao Liang felt his eyes lit up and he was very happy.

She was holding a secret letter that had just been opened. Zhao Liang glanced at it. Seeing the envelope with his and Lu Zhen’s name written on it, he immediately knew why the leader of the Yue Girl Sect smiled so happily. Bai Zi did have a set of tricks. Just allowing the Yue Girl Sect to participate in secret affairs can all capture the hearts of the wild people in the world. It is strange that Lu is really dissatisfied.

Zhao Liang was right, Lu Zhen was really happy. Yue Nu Sect said it was to protect Yue Guo, but even with Fan Li's mind, he used Yue Nu Sect as a mysterious weapon back then. The highest achievement of Yue Nu Sect's ancestor was to teach fencing in the Yue army, but he was not able to participate in serious national affairs. Bai Zi was more broad-minded than Goujian Fan Li. Since setting up a salt field in Yue Guo, he has never regarded her as an outsider in everything. With such a heart-warming trust, even the most strange-tempered Ape Gong had to give Bai Dong a thumbs up and praise him "good man" when he mentioned Bai Dong!

Bai Dong and Xu Gong opened a salt farm in Yue Kingdom. Not to mention how much labor expenses they had to pay, they sold salt. All the officials and officials from all over the country had their own tips. Among them, the Yue Numen and the Kui Wei who supported Wu Zhuan benefited the most. Now Lu Zhen was very proud of her correct decision to "kidnapping" Bai Dong, and even liked Zhao Liang. A famous scholar in Qin State, like her, the children of the world like her, love to interact with intellectuals.

"I don't know if Bai Zi is crazy or not. I can't understand what he means anyway. Can you understand what he means?" He handed over the secret letter to Zhao Liang, and Luma held his chin and sat aside, waiting for his explanation.

"Salt price by 10% lower. Qi Guo Salt Farm has already done this. We must keep up here too? In addition to Qi Guo and our five major salt farms, the large amount of sea salt that Xujia Trading Company secretly purchased in the past six months must also be shipped together! And it must also specify that the buyer must be Wei Guo."

Zhao Liang frowned and looked at Bai Dong's secret letter. He was very confused at first. When he saw the second half, he suddenly widened his eyes: "As such a large amount, it will take at least two years of taxes to eat in one bite. Is this the reason for the price reduction? It doesn't make sense. Bai Zi seems to be worried that Wei will not buy more sea salt? Otherwise, why should he lower the price again? Wait! Miss Lu Zhen. I know the longest news about the Yue Nu Sect. What is the situation in Wei State recently? I mean the economic aspect."

"I was asked by the gentleman correctly. Yue Numen's Sect received the news that Wei Ying increased 40,000 Wei Wushang in just half a year, and also allocated huge funds to secretly build salt factories in various places, which was extremely expensive. Moreover, they earned a lot of money from Yanqi Haiyan. It is said that some merchants in Daliang have received Wei Ying's letter from the King of Wei, and the King of Wei actually went to borrow money from the merchant's Sect."

"That's it. Wei Ying looks generous and kind. In fact, she is extremely greedy. Since she has tasted the benefits of salt benefits, how can she let go easily? But Wei is not a salt-producing country. After all, she has to rely on Qi Yan to provide basic sea salt to continuously produce high-quality Wei salt and make money in the world. Now Wei is powerful, but if we spend more than a few decades, Wei will maintain its dominance? The Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period are not far away. Therefore, Wei Ying will do everything possible to hoard a large amount of sea salt, even if we empty the Wei Dynasty's depositary, it will do whatever we can."

The more he analyzed, the brighter Zhao Liang's eyes became: "It is not an easy thing for him to eat the sea salt that Yan Qi and other countries had stored for many years. Now the report warehouse is empty. If he wants to continue to spend the national effort to buy sea salt, he will sell it cheaper. No wonder, no wonder! I thought it was Bai Zi and Xu Gong who were crazy, but now it seems that it is not them who are crazy, but Wei Ying, who was blinded by money!"

"I still don't understand"

Lu Zhen shook her head. She felt her brain hurt. She was an expert in dancing swords and swords. But when it comes to this kind of economic means of calculating a country, she would not be able to do anything eight of them. Even Zhao Liang had just figured out a little, and he sighed and was surprised in his heart, as if he saw Bai Dong and Xu Gong laughing, using the country as a chess piece, playing an amazing game of chess.

"What's there to understand? If I read it correctly, it's not a day since Bai Zi and Xu Gong plotted against Wei State. It's such a big deal! No wonder I always couldn't figure it out before. The salt produced in our five major salt venues is already an amazing number. Why did Bai Zi and Xu Gong buy large amounts of Yanqi's stored salt? They bought it, but they didn't hesitate to sell it at a low price regardless of the price? It turned out to be for today! This is to exhaust the national strength of Wei State? Miss Lu Zhen, tell me quickly, what is the Wei State, which once mainly sells salt and iron officials, now?"

Lu Zhen was stunned by his question: "The smelting craftsman in Yue is good at smelting iron and sword making, which is known to everyone in the world. Therefore, although the smelting craftsman in Yue can still make a living in various countries, many of which are in the official smelting workshop of Wei State. However, in the past six months, many blacksmiths in Wei State have lost their way to make a living, and most of them have gone to other countries or returned to Yue State."

"Extremely wonderful!Extremely wonderful!"

After hearing Lu Zhen's words, Zhao Liang slid his hands and laughed: "It can be seen that the Wei State has paid all its strength to pay attention to the salt matter. Even the iron smelting industry, which has always been the country's tripod pillar, has been affected. Hehe, he spent all his efforts to buy basic sea salt and instead produce high-quality Wei salt. It would be amazing when the sales were changed. But aren't you afraid that Wei salt will not be sold suddenly? If such a thing happens, Wei State will be in chaos! However, it is probably extremely difficult to make such high-quality Wei salt suddenly unable to be sold. I can't guess what Bai Zi wants to do."

"Wei salt can't be sold, how is this possible? After eating high-quality Wei salt, I don't even want to change to bitter and astringent sea salt. The world is so big that Wei State doesn't have to worry about it."

Lu Zhen shook her head slightly. She didn't have so many colorful things, so she knew that good things could be sold. Zhao Liang's statement was simply not valid.

"It may not be possible whether Wei Yan can be sold, or whether he can continue to sell at a good price. I am afraid it depends on Bai Zi's methods. If I am not wrong, Bai Zi and Xu Gong must have a backup plan. They are not Wei Ying's godson. Will they give money to this enemy for nothing?"

Zhao Liang smiled and put down his secret letter, feeling indescribable joy. He just needed to wait now. Bai Zi ordered him to go to Qi first, and was sent to Yue Kingdom to drink the sea breeze. He would never just ask him to be the leader of the salt field? Bai Zi and Xu Gong clearly wanted to be the best match for Wei Kingdom. It was really his luck to be able to meet the situation.

When Zhao Liang was full of infinite longing for his future life, Ying Quliang was also laughing, and even tears were almost laughing out loud. He patted Bai Dong's shoulder desperately: "Good boy, my good fourth brother! According to you, this time, not only will Wei Ying cheat Wei Ying, but also let Wei work for us? Wei Ying worked hard for more than half a year, and in the end this huge profit will only fall into the hands of Lao Qin?"

This incident is indeed a bit incredible. With Ying Quliang's intelligence, he could not fully understand it for a while. This is a historical limitation and has nothing to do with IQ.

"Although Wei Yan is good, but if it were not for my secret push by Mr. Xu, how could it have spread to the world so quickly and be welcomed by the people of the world? I and Mr. Xu invested a huge amount of money to expand the salt field while buying high and selling Wei's basic sea salt at the same time, so that Wei Ying could taste the sweetness. The information collected by Mr. Jing was very correct. Now the Wei State's report is empty. In order to continue to buy and hoard sea salt, Wei Ying has begun to borrow money from the merchants of the Wei State. The more he borrows, the better. The more he owe, the more crazy he will become, and we have a chance."

"The fourth brother, tell me carefully. Your mind is different from ordinary people. If you talk about it quickly, the third brother won't understand it."

"Actually it's very simple. The low-priced sea salt I prepared with Xu Gong would make Wei Ying desperately acquire and then become a pauper. But Wei State still has to raise 400,000 Wei Wuzhang and the ministers of the court. What should we do if we don't have money? Naturally, we have to produce Wei salt desperately and then sell it. But this time it's not so easy. Whether he can sell Wei salt and how much it can be sold depends on our mood."

"Second, are you too exaggerating? You gave the method of refining salt in Wei. Wei salt is indeed a good thing. The things are good, are you afraid that you can't sell them?"

"The third brother is wrong. Good things can be sold at a good price. This is generally speaking, but sometimes good things cannot be sold at a good price. If the price is so low that it makes him lose money, will Wei Ying still sell it?"

Bai Dong smiled strangely, like a devil who saw through the world's thoughts.
