Chapter 91 Old Fox Wang Jian

At night, Peng Yue led his men out of the city in a carriage, slandered the countryside and came to a hidden place he found in advance to hide it. He changed his clothes and quietly returned to the villa with Yingchi and others.

"We're back, haha..."

As soon as he entered the door, Peng Yue burst into laughter.

I feel so relieved to cheat those wealthy businessmen!

I have to pretend outside and can’t laugh. When I return to the mansion, I can finally let go!

"Speak softly, the young master is here!"

Han Xin in the yard punched him and signaled him to shut up.

"The young master is here? Where is it?"

Han Xin quietly pointed to the corrective hall.

Peng Yue strode through the yard and walked towards the main hall. He found that Xiao Zhengtai was sitting on a rocking chair and was sleeping. Yu Ji stood beside him and beat his legs. He quickly bowed and said, "Young Master!"

"All back?"

Hearing the sound, Xiao Zhengtai sat up, and Yu Ji changed directions to help him pinch his shoulders.

It’s true that Yu Ji’s white and tender little hands feel so comfortable when he pinched her body. If Peng Yue didn’t come back at this time, he would really fall asleep!

"Go back to the young master, you're all back!"

"What accident can happen?"

"No, those wealthy families are rushing to buy crazy. If it wasn't for darkness, they would have to continue buying...!

Peng Yue said excitedly: "Young Master, you don't know. When the people saw this salt, their eyes were straight, but no one dared to move. Later, the wealthy families heard the news and came to buy it one after another. Our voices were hoarse!"

"This is the beginning. Xianyang City is so big. Today, only a small part of it will go to. Tomorrow there will be more...!"

Xiao Zhengta had a happy face and said with a smile: "Tomorrow you will bring a few more people and try to sell them out in one day!"

"Okay!"

Peng Yue agreed readily.

At this moment, Yu Wenxuan bowed in and said, "Young Master, the money you earned from selling salt has been counted!"

"How many?"

"There are 2832 gold in total!"

Yu Wenxuan worked carefully and calculated every penny clearly.

"good!"

I sold so much in one afternoon, and the rest will be sold out before dark tomorrow.

...

At night, Wang Li returned to Tongwu Hou Mansion.

Before entering the door, I heard Wang Wan's tender and slightly coquettish voice, "Dad, Zhang Jia and Liu Xin have bought fine salt, so let's buy some at our house? If you don't buy more, just buy a little!"

Zhang Jia and Liu Xin, whom she mentioned, were her playmates and were also the daughters of ministers in the court.

The story of Jingyan was also heard from the two of them.

Now she didn't know what the people around her tasted, so she came to Wang Ben and asked him to send someone to buy it!

"What to buy? Isn't the salt brought back good enough? The salt in the city is unknown, so it's better not to touch it!"

However, her father, who has always loved her, did not agree.

"Of course the one grandpa brought back is good, but it's too few, and I don't know what's different from the ones on the street!"

Wang Wan has no other meaning, she is just curiosity.

At this moment, Wang Li strode in, and Wang Wan turned her eyes, "Brother, have you heard that a person selling fine salt suddenly appeared in the city, and his body was snow-white?"

"certainly!"

Wang Li nodded with a smile.

"If I guess correctly, then the salt was sent by the young master, right?"

Wang Jian, who had not said anything, sat in the main seat and suddenly laughed.

"What?"

Wang Wan's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, as if she had heard something incredible.

Isn’t that kid just good at kung fu and more upright? When did you deal with salt?

Or the best fine salt?

"How did grandpa know?"

Wang Li was also very shocked.

They did this matter very confidentially, few people knew about it, and all the participants were all new faces, so no one should have discovered it!

"Haha! If I guess correctly, the price of fine salt will drop sharply within three days!"

Wang Jian stroked his beard confidently, as if he had already understood everything.

"That's right!"

Wang Li nodded like pounding garlic.

"How did grandpa know that the salt price will drop sharply?"

Wang Wan now doesn't understand even more.

Even if the salt is made by those short legs, who would sell it at a high price instead of selling it at a low price?

"Do you remember the last pack of salt?"

"Remember!"

"When I gave me the bag of salt, I said that I would like to offer a purification method. Now that time has passed, a batch of salt of comparable quality suddenly appeared in Xianyang City. It is probably purified by the young master!"

"The young master once said that the purification method is not complicated and the cost is not high, so the salt price in the future will not be too high!"

"So I speculate that the young master felt that ordinary people would not be able to buy it after the first batch of listing, so he sold it with such a method and deliberately asked the high-priced officials to compete for it. After they had enough, the court made money, and the second batch of salt was also listed, and the people could buy it normally. Those nobles who had just bought salt would not go to stock up again!"

"They did not go out to sell salt under the banner of the royal family. Even if the nobles reacted and were deceived, they would not blame His Majesty and the young master. Is that true?"

Wang Jian looked so scheming that he had already figured out the whole thing.

"Grandpa, how do you know?"

"Dad, how do you know?"

The three people in the room were stunned.

Why is it like participating in this matter in person?

Especially Wang Li, he followed the young master to do things. He knew all the process and purpose of this matter. It was indeed like this, and it was not bad at all!

"Hehe, none of you guys follow me..."

Wang Jian rolled his eyes at the three of them with a regret, "Isn't this very obvious? Who of you has seen Bai Ruxue's fine salt before this?"

"No!"

"Then you'll cut it off! Only the young master can do this salt making technique. The salt seller said that it was from the East China Sea, not a local. It's obvious that the salt is from the young master, and he is calculating the money in the pockets of those noble and wealthy families! Hahaha..."

As he spoke, Wang Jian burst into laughter.

He was very satisfied with this apprentice. He was proficient in both literary and martial arts and was also first-class in calculating!

In just one afternoon, I don’t know how many wealthy families were plotted against by him!

By the day when the salt price is announced, they will probably regret it!

"Grandpa, you are so amazing. You can know all the plans of the young master without leaving home...!"

Wang Li sat next to Wang Jian with great admiration and said enthusiastically: "Young Master said that when the salt will be sold tomorrow, Han Xin and others will be sent to take Peng Yue away in front of the people, saying that they are private salt dealers and arrest them in prison. Then the second batch of salt will arrive and then be sold to salt merchants for retail sales. The people of Daqin will be able to eat snow-white fine salt!"

"Um!"

Wang Jian nodded with a smile.

"I really didn't expect that the short-legged brain was quite good!"

Wang Wan's attitude towards Xiao Zhengtai has changed.
Chapter completed!
