Chapter 81 That son doesn't want to be emperor?
Wang Jian looked at the small bag of salt in his hand in shock.
After a long time, he asked, "Master, this kind of salt production is very high?"
Ying Yu nodded, "Not only is the output high, but the cost is also very low."
Wang Jian's eyes lit up, and he stared at Ying Yu firmly.
This son has mentioned the cost more than once, and after thinking about it for a while, Wang Jian asked tentatively:
"Young master, you mean to sell this kind of salt?"
Looking at Wang Jian who looked expectant, Ying Yu said calmly, "That's right, I have this plan."
It is impossible for him to monopolize the business of selling salt. No matter what he eats meat, he has to give others a sip of soup.
Otherwise, Mao Dun will easily appear after a long time.
Since he couldn't take it all by himself, Ying Yu would naturally favor the Wang family. This was also his main purpose of coming to Wang Jian today.
"Young master, I would like to ask you again, can this kind of salt replace the common coarse salt in the market?"
"No problem at all, and the price will be more than five times lower than coarse salt."
Ying Yu didn't want to make money by selling salt at first.
He has many ways to make money, including selling salt.
"What, five times lower?" Wang Jian exclaimed suddenly.
Although Ying Yu mentioned the low cost of this kind of salt more than once, he never expected it to be so low.
The price was five times lower, of course Wang Jian knew what it meant.
It's not just business anymore.
This is a supreme weapon that can benefit the country and the people.
Thinking of this, Wang Jian's complexion became serious, and he pondered for a moment before he said:
"My son, according to the wishes of the old minister, I should inform the Meng family about this matter."
Outside the hall, Shihuang, who was listening to the corner at the moment, heard Wang Jian's proposal, and secretly cursed the old fox in his heart.
Today's Ying Yu already has the support of the Wang family, the clan and the nobles of the old Qin Dynasty. If there is another Meng family added, then this kid's tail can't be up to the sky?
It is no exaggeration to say that with the support of these four forces, even if brother Zheng wants to move Ying Yu, he has to weigh it carefully.
As for the position of the prince, it is even more certain.
In the hall, Ying Yu smiled when he heard Wang Jian's words:
"The old general is right."
In fact, Ying Yu had thought of it a long time ago. In his plan, he not only wanted to win over the Meng family, but also got the support of the army.
Finally sat on the crown prince.
He doesn't know what other people think, but Ying Yu's idea is very simple, that is to try his best to change Daqin and the current emperor of Daqin.
Even though being an emperor is tiring, he just wants to be one.
Seeing that Ying Yu was in a daze, Wang Jian reminded him:
"Young master, who is in charge of selling salt, can you choose?"
Who is responsible for selling the salt is a big question.
Because selling salt is an errand that offends people.
Although the business belongs to Ying Yu, the son of the Great Qin Supervisor, he can't order others not to sell salt, can he?
And who can sell coarse salt in Xianyang City, who has no background?
"Don't worry, old general, this person has already been selected."
"Young master is thoughtful."
Wang Jian clasped his fists and saluted, he never thought that this young master would be so thoughtful.
The two chatted for a while, and then Ying Yu left the salt behind, and left the Wang's house swaggeringly.
Originally, Ying Yu came to Wang's house for another purpose, and that was to block Zheng Ge.
He really didn't want to, and spent every day crouching in the royal study reviewing memorials.
Now that Brother Zheng is back, Ying Yu naturally doesn't want to let him go.
But after thinking about it, let's save some face for this cheap dad.
Therefore, it was not dismantled.
After Ying Yu left, Shi Huang came to the royal hall.
"The old minister sees His Majesty."
Seeing Empress Shi, Wang Jian was taken aback for a moment and then hurriedly paid homage.
"Old Fox."
Shi Huang cursed with a smile, then stretched out his hand: "Where is the thing?"
Naturally, Wang Jian knew what the first emperor was talking about, and quickly handed over the salt left by Ying Yu.
Seeing the salt as white as snow, Shi Huang was puzzled.
For his own son, he is becoming more and more incomprehensible.
......
The next day, early in the morning.
Although the weather has turned cold, this does not prevent the people in Xianyang City from getting up early and being busy.
But when they got up early in the morning, the people were surprised to find that there were several more shops selling salt in Xianyang City.
"Hey... Brother, have you heard that a big salt merchant in Hanzhong County came to Xianyang City yesterday."
"Of course I heard about it. It is said that the salt sold by his family is as white as snowflakes, has no bitter taste, and the price is cheaper than coarse salt."
"Really? Is there such a thing?"
"The big salt merchant in Hanzhong County, came all this way to sell salt in Xianyang?"
"Don't tell me, I really asked. They said it was for...why to open up the market. We don't know what it means to open up the market. We only know that his salt is not only good, but also cheap."
"Well, this is true. It is said that they were still recruiting people at dusk yesterday."
"Cut... the big salt merchant in Hanzhong County, coming to Xianyang to sell salt, isn't that courting death?"
......
It is also not known how the news spread.
In just one morning, all the people in Xianyang City knew that there was a great salt merchant from Hanzhong County who came to do business.
And the ones sold are still many times better than coarse salt, what kind of fine salt.
Of course, people are most concerned about the price.
After some inquiries, people were shocked to find that the so-called fine salt was [-]% lower than coarse salt.
Excellent price, coupled with absolutely high-quality goods.
This made the people of Xianyang City flock to it, and it has become a trend of fire before it is sold.
At the same time, the middle and high-level officials in Xianyang City also received the same news.
Although he was puzzled in his heart, the salt sellers in Xianyang City and the people behind them couldn't sit still under the tremendous pressure.
However, something happened that no one expected.
In just one day, the great salt merchant in Hanzhong County who had never seen his face died unexpectedly.
It is said that his subordinates saw Cai and killed him while he was asleep.
And the dozen or so carts of fine salt he brought disappeared overnight.
As soon as the news came out, the people who were going to buy salt shook their heads and sighed.
Such good salt at such a cheap price.
Such a good businessman, what a pity.
And those middle and high-level people who control the salt market scoffed one by one.
Dare to come to Xianyang with this ability?
Are you afraid that you don't know how deep the water in Xianyang City is?
Do you think that if you have a good source of goods in your hand, you can grasp it?
These people agreed that this great salt merchant from Hanzhong County must have been dealt with.
After all, those dozens of truckloads of salt were emptied overnight.
It's obviously unreasonable to just say that a guy sees money and wants to do it.
You must know that Jin Yiwei is not a vegetarian.
If it is said that there are no big shots, even if they are killed, they will not believe it.
After another two days of brief brewing, the so-called fine salt surfaced again.
Moreover, it still appeared in the hands of some salt sellers in Xianyang City.
Only this time, the price is nearly double that of coarse salt.
When the people who came to buy salt saw the fine salt that was as white as snowflakes, they could only leave with a sigh.
