This damn Bai Yongliang forced His Majesty and all the civil and military officials to use salt as a threat, causing Fang Chen to lose everything.
Fang Chen will definitely not let them go!
After Bai Changkong and Bai Wu returned, they immediately found Bai Yongliang.
Bai Yongliang's life has been very fruitful recently.
Since he took control of the salt business, people from major chambers of commerce came to cooperate with Bai Yongliang.
The things that the Bai family and Bai Chuan had done before were completely washed away. People had forgotten the shame of the Bai family and the many evil deeds of the Bai family.
Now the Bai family controls the salt lifeline of the entire Dayan Dynasty. Without salt, there is only a dead end. Therefore, Bai Yongliang has the final say in everything.
Bai Yongliang was drinking in the living room, with two beauties in his arms on his left and right, and the three of them were exchanging drinks and flirting.
"Second uncle!"
The two brothers hurried back, disturbing Bai Yongliang's enjoyment.
"It's late at night, didn't you go out drinking? Why are you back again?"
Bai Wu chuckled: "Second uncle, something good happened, and this time it is a big good thing."
The two brothers told about their appointment with Fang Chen.
Bai Yongliang was shocked!
Suddenly I woke up a lot.
Princess Xuanyu had promised before that the Ghost Pavilion could definitely kill Fang Chen this time, and Bai Yongliang had been waiting for good news.
Unexpectedly, Fang Chen came back unscathed!
How did this monster Fang Chen come back?
Bai Yongliang waved his hand and asked the two women next to him to go out.
"You said that you have reached an agreement with Fang Chen and asked him to hand over the formula of black powder?"
"Are you sure Fang Chen will agree?"
Previously, Fang Chen discussed with people from the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce, and Tang Qingshan and Tang Yanran proposed that Fang Chen hand over the formula of black gunpowder so that they could provide salt to the Great Yan Dynasty.
As a result, Fang Chen flatly refused and would never compromise.
Now that the two brothers had asked Fang Chen to compromise and hand over the formula with just a few words, Bai Yongliang felt that things were not that simple.
However, Bai Wu was full of confidence: "Second uncle, today is different from the past. In the past, Fang Chen was the commander of the Jinyi Guards and received His Majesty's favor. Therefore, he was fearless and fearless. He even killed people when negotiating with the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce.
There are dozens of people on the other side, and they can still escape intact."
"Now Fang Chen has fallen out of favor, lost his official position, lost his backer and all his money. The only valuable thing in his hand is the black powder formula. Of course he hopes to sell the formula and make a sum of money. This is
His only bargaining chip for a comeback!"
Bai Changkong thinks so too.
"Second Uncle, now the Dakang Dynasty, the Xijin Empire and many other countries are eyeing the formula of black gunpowder. We must take action as soon as possible!"
Bai Yongliang was thoughtful after hearing the explanations of the two brothers.
If a person is forced into a desperate situation, his heart will definitely collapse.
Now that Fang Chen has reached a desperate situation, he only has this trump card in his hand.
If the Bai family can really obtain black powder, then Bai Yongliang is qualified to enter the Ghost Pavilion and get to know the senior officials of the Ghost Pavilion.
But when the two brothers Bai Changkong and Bai Wu were doing things, Bai Yongliang was a little worried.
Although these two men were generals, they still lacked in intelligence, so Bai Yongliang planned to meet Fang Chen in person.
After Bai Yongliang thought twice, he agreed to the two brothers.
Early the next morning, Bai Yongliang took Bai Changkong and Bai Wu to the agreed-upon tavern.
Fang Chen had a good sleep last night.
I have been traveling a long distance recently and a lot of things have happened. It can be said that I had a narrow escape from death.
Last night, I slept until dawn without anyone disturbing me.
In the morning, the people at the tavern prepared an exquisite breakfast for Fang Chen.
After breakfast, Fang Chen sat leisurely in the room, drinking wine, looking for two beauties, and listening to a little tune.
After a while, Bai Yongliang came over with his two nephews.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet!
Both sides wanted to tear each other into pieces.
But when Bai Yongliang and Fang Chen met, both parties greeted them very enthusiastically, just like friends they hadn't seen for a long time.
"Bai will look up to you for a long time!"
"Mr. Fang, I'm glad to meet you!"
Both parties were seated, and the wine and food were served.
"President Bai has been doing very well recently. He has taken charge of the salt import rights of the Great Yan Dynasty, and cooperated with the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce. The Bai family has risen again. It is really a three-day absence, which is impressive."
Fang Chen gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but did not show it on his face.
Bai Yongliang smiled.
"Everything I have is what I deserve. It's just that Mr. Fang has not been doing well recently. I really sympathize with him for everything he has been deprived of by His Majesty."
Fang Chen took a sip of wine and said helplessly: "Yes, my money has been frozen by His Majesty. I have no money recently and even eating is a problem, so I want to beg for food from President Bai."
.”
Bai Yongliang smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem, nothing else, but I have plenty of money, I can get as much money as I want."
As he spoke, Bai Yongliang asked Bai Changkong next to him to open the box he brought. Inside was a thick stack of banknotes. Each banknote was worth one million taels.
"Master Fang, there are a thousand silver notes here, totaling one billion taels of silver. Please accept it, Master Fang."
Fang Chen was very surprised. Among the banknotes circulating outside, the largest denomination was only ten thousand taels. Now the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce actually printed a banknote worth one million taels.
Fang Chen took the banknote over and checked that there was nothing wrong with it. It had the seal of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, the private seal of the president Bai Yongliang, because the denomination was too large, and the official seal of the Imperial Household Department.
Recently, Bai Yongliang has been very close to the imperial court and many chambers of commerce, so he wants to issue one million taels of silver notes. As long as he obtains the approval of the Ministry of Accounts, there will be no problem.
After checking the banknote, Fang Chen was very satisfied and said: "We pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. This is what you want."
Fang Chen handed over five pieces of paper to the other party. These were the recipes Fang Chen wrote last night.
Bai Yongliang hurriedly took the formula over and read it carefully. Bai Changkong and Bai Wu also joined in.
Seeing the crooked and ugly fonts on it, the three of them were very depressed.
Of course, they already knew that Fang Chen's handwriting was ugly.
The three of them saw that the formula was so complicated. They had to add more than a dozen materials, continuously purify it, and finally prepare it according to the proportions. Finally, they had to do various explosive experiments.
In short, making black powder is dangerous!
Of course, this recipe is fake.
Fang Chen deliberately mixed other things into the formula and deliberately made the process extremely complicated, so that there must be something wrong with what they produced.
The three of them were confused after reading it. It was too complicated and they had never done it before, so they became suspicious.
Bai Yongliang said: "Master Fang, there won't be any problems with this formula, right?"
Fang Chen assured: "There is absolutely no problem. If you don't believe it, you can buy these materials back and I can do experiments on the spot to let you see the power of black powder."
