Chapter 35: Refined salt business rights!
"This is Wang Zhi's confession. Sir Guo can take a look at it!"
Wang Zhi quickly took the confession and started to check it.
When I saw the above content, I breathed a sigh of relief.
I couldn't help but secretly thought: "Fortunately I didn't tell everything, there is still a chance!"
Then he raised his head and looked at Wang Zhi, who was also looking at Guo Youzhi at this time.
Wang Zhi placed the confession in the guard's hand and walked towards Wang Zhi.
"Lord Wang is very sensible about the situation. Just confess."
Then he reached out and patted her shoulder.
It didn't matter that the slap landed directly on Wang Zhi's wound.
"hiss!"
Wang Zhi took a breath of cold air.
"Master Guo, for the sake of our friendship, please take care of my family and make sure they make it to Ningguta alive!"
Guo Youzhi also looked at Huang Gong on the side.
"this……"
"Master Huang, is this... feasible? "
Huang Gong said disapprovingly: "This is your business, you can intervene or not, I have no right to interfere!"
Guo Youzhi nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I worry too much!"
"Okay, I promise you. You said you are the same. Why do you want so much? You can't bring anything with you when you are born, and you can't take it with you when you die!"
Then he turned to Huang Gong and said, "Sir, the officer has understood the situation and needs to go back to report."
Huang Gong didn't say anything, but just nodded lightly. He knew that Guo Youzhi came to gather information for Hu Zhenghe.
But there was nothing I could do and I could only sigh!
"Imprison!"
Little did people know that Wang Zhi bit his tongue and committed suicide that night after being imprisoned!
East Palace.
"Your Highness, I don't know what you want me to do, but I will do my best."
As he spoke, he handed the silver bills in his hand to Xiao Yan, who saw that they were all bills from the Da Zhou Money House.
It was a whole thick stack, all worth ten thousand taels.
"Why did you keep all this money in the Da Zhou Bank?"
"Do you know that the money in this bank is eventually deposited in the national treasury?"
Sun Ruicai heard this and said quickly: "Your Highness, since you have opened a bank, you naturally need someone to support you. I am publicly supporting your bank."
"Although the money has gone into the treasury, the bill is in your book, so the money is still yours!"
Xiao Yan smiled when he heard this and said, "You are a smart person. No wonder you can achieve such a big success."
"I called you here today to give you two choices."
"It is definitely not okay to run a private salt and iron business. If something goes wrong, you will be beheaded. You are a good money-maker, but I will not cut off my own arm."
"First, I allow you to buy salt from the government and resell it, but the salt you sell must be different, otherwise you won't make any money."
"Secondly, I don't plan to keep the iron ore for myself. After all, iron ore is necessary for forging weapons. It must be confiscated!"
"You will continue to run your Sun family's tea and cloth business, and you will also take over the business of the Li and Cui families. All profits except yours will be deposited into the national treasury."
Sun Ruicai frowned. He had been promised 10% of the profits from the salt and iron. Now without iron, the profits would be greatly reduced.
But if I get the right to operate salt, it will be different. I won’t have to hide from place to place.
They can also secretly sell the salt produced from the salt mines.
"Your Highness, I wonder what kind of salt is in the first one."
Xiao Yan stood up and asked, "What does the salt of my Great Zhou taste like now?"
Sun Ruicai was a little confused. Salt is just salt, what taste can it have?
"Your Highness, this salt tastes nothing but salty and astringent, what else can it taste like?"
Xiao Yan ordered someone to bring a small cloth bag!
"Look at this."
Sun Ruicai opened the small cloth bag with curiosity.
"Fine salt!?"
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Yes, refined salt tastes salty without any bitterness, and is snow-white. Do you think it can be sold at a high price?"
Sun Ruicai gasped. If he sold refined salt, then the iron ore would be gone, and the impact would not be big.
As for the tea cloth business, why would you still want to do it when you have refined salt, unless you have a hole in your brain.
But suddenly I thought of a fatal problem.
"Your Highness, the output of this refined salt is very small and cannot be sold in large quantities!"
Xiao Yan laughed when he heard this: "Others can't produce it, but I can!"
"It depends on what you choose."
Seeing Xiao Yan's confident look, Sun Rui began to feel conflicted.
If I were deceived by Xiao Yan, I would have nothing.
Although there is no iron mine, the tea and cloth business can still be done. Although the profit is meager, it is not a problem to support the family.
"Let's bet!"
"Your Highness, I choose refined salt!"
If you bet right, you will soar to the sky from now on. If you are wrong, the worst that can happen is that you can start over again!
"You are very courageous. I like you very much. You will not regret your choice today."
"You will continue to run the business of the Li and Cui families. We don't have anyone who is good at this."
"Also, go back and prepare according to what I wrote above, and set up a super large workshop!"
"I will approve your business procedures!"
Sun Ruicai took the paper from Xiao Yan's hand and just did what it said no matter what!
"I'll take my leave!"
Only after everyone left did Xiao Yan stretch his back.
I've been so busy these days that I'm almost exhausted.
"Let's go find my little Youyue!"
He came to the palace at the back, went straight to Ye Youyue’s residence, and pushed the door open.
"ah!"
A scream was heard, and Xiao Yan then remembered that the idiot Ye Youyou was also here.
"Why didn't you knock when you came in, you dog... humph!"
As if he thought of something, he quickly closed his mouth!
Ye Youyue quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, my sister is ignorant, please don't blame me!"
If what Ye Youyou said just now was true, Ye Youyou would be dragged out and chopped off today. Insulting the crown prince is a capital crime.
"I won't bother with a little brat!"
"Let her out and go back to her room!"
Ye Youyue then looked at Ye Ye Youyou on the side and gave her a wink.
Ye Youyou pouted and got up to leave angrily, and thought of something before leaving.
"Hey, you...thank you for saving my sister, but don't think I will forgive you for bullying her!"
" Also , you are not allowed to bully my sister anymore, otherwise, hmph!"
He clenched his fist towards Xiao Yan and left angrily!
After Ye Youyou left, Xiao Yan helped Ye Youyue up.
"Your Highness... I'm scared, can you... be gentler!"
He thought Xiao Yan would treat him rudely again.
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I didn't do anything to you today. I was just tired and couldn't sleep well!"
As he said this, he put Ye Youyue on the bed and then extinguished the candle.
But the two of them didn't know that someone was eavesdropping outside the window.
"Humph! You bully me again. I'm going to teach you a lesson!"
