"How was the check?"
Several members of the Liu family came quickly, and Liu Jingming asked quickly.
"Second Master, I can confirm that the salt does come from that salt factory. The other salt factories in Dakang have not restarted yet."
"Besides, the area of the salt factory is quite large."
"I also found out that Prince Ning has never been to Dakang during this period. He only asked Zhu Changgui, the shopkeeper of Dakang, for a lot of money. He probably doesn't know about the salt factory."
The servants reported one by one.
Liu Changqing couldn't help but said: "Second Master, without further ado, this guy is very greedy. If he doesn't confirm it as soon as possible, he might even raise the price."
Liu Jingming asked: "Can you sneak into the salt factory and have a look?"
The servant shook his head, "No! Although Prince Ning doesn't understand, Zhu Changgui must know the preciousness of snow salt and has sealed off that area."
Liu Changqing said: "It's a good thing that boy doesn't understand, so as not to have long nights and many dreams. Second Master..."
Liu Jingming seemed a little hesitant.
It's not that he suspected anything.
Where did the salt come from? As long as this is true, there will be no problem.
It's just that he, who has always been cautious, would rather go in and take a look before making a decision. Unfortunately, the person behind it is Prince Ning. If not, he would just send a few people directly and use some tricks.
But now...
That’s it!
Although one million taels is a lot, it is still worth it for such a salt farm.
It was still Yipin Pavilion, and sumptuous delicacies were prepared in the private room. Liu Jingming sent someone to Zuixian Pavilion to order a few dishes, but he didn't eat a bite and only brought out the wine.
"Your Majesty, please!"
"Second Master is interested."
The two of them had their own secrets and exchanged cups. Finally, they finally signed the agreement.
Zhu Kang's face glowed brightly and he said with a smile: "Second Master is indeed a cheerful person. We will cooperate with him again if we have the opportunity in the future."
After having enough wine and food, Zhu Kang left the house without saying a word.
"Sir, I got it! That idiot Liu Er actually bought a broken salt farm with one million taels." This guy found Lin Bai immediately and smiled crookedly.
Lin Bai seemed calm.
He said very stinkingly: "It's only one million taels, it's drizzling!"
Of course, just by saying this, I was already happy in my heart.
really!
It’s still easy to make money for rich people!
However, if he didn't have the support of Prince Ning's Mansion, he would really not dare to earn this kind of money. After all, the richest man in Jinling sounds very bluffing.
Everyone here was excited, and over there, Liu Jingming and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Full of expectations.
For the Liu family, one million taels is a lot, but snow salt is of great importance.
In his own words, whether the salt farm makes money is secondary. The important thing is that the salt must be in hand, which can be regarded as a strategic resource.
It is also good to curry favor with those dignitaries in Kyoto.
Just when Liu Jingming was filled with joy, Wang Shengshui came over the next day.
"Second Master, do you know about Veteran Logistics?"
Liu Jingming chuckled and said, "I'm still thinking about your business! Don't worry, the new year is approaching. After the new year's cloth is handed in, Liu will make Su's Cloth Shop look good, and your benefits will naturally be indispensable."
"That's not the case."
Wang Shengshui said, "You asked me to keep two informants in Veteran Logistics. I received news today that they have started selling salt not long ago."
What?
Hearing this, Liu Jingming stood up and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely true!"
Wang Shengshui said, "That boy somehow became the husband of Prince Ning, and now he starts selling salt again. I always feel that this matter is not that simple. Is he here for the second master?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Jingming's face became even more ugly.
My mood also became a little restless.
After several confrontations, he was already a little wary of someone, because the other party could always save the day.
Once or twice can be luck, but what about three or four times?
"Someone is coming..."
Liu Jingming couldn't sit still.
He didn't care about Zhu Kang, and he wasn't on guard at all.
Although Lin Bai became Zhu Kang's husband not long ago, this was all because Princess Ning wanted her son to succeed, so it was easy to understand why she found Jie Yuan as her husband. And with Prince Ning's palace having such a big backer, it was more normal for him to accept it happily.
But he never associated these with salt.
But when I heard it now, I suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Second Master, it has been confirmed that Veteran Logistics is indeed selling salt together with Dakang Trading, and their three ships are mixed with Dakang Trading."
"Idiot, why didn't you check these things earlier?"
Liu Jingming was furious.
I was a little panicked inside.
But what made him even more panicked was what happened next. Three days later, news finally came from Yanzhou.
Because the distance is not close, and the handover takes time.
"Second Master, it's not good!"
Early in the morning, Liu Changqing arrived in a hurry.
"explain!"
Liu Jingming had a gloomy face. He had trouble sleeping and eating these past few days, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Liu Changqing hesitated: "Yes...it's the salt factory in Yanzhou. Our people found that except for a little fine salt on the top layer, the rest of the salt factory was all coarse salt, and there was no trace of snow salt." arrive."
Even though I was prepared.
But after hearing this, Liu Jingming almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
His face also became extremely ugly.
Everyone in the Liu family panicked, "How could this happen? Has the snow salt been mined? It shouldn't be, that area is extremely vast..."
"I told you a long time ago that we checked before and found that there was ordinary coarse salt."
Everyone was talking about it.
Liu Changqing said: "Second Master, are we being tricked?"
It was already obvious that Liu Jingming's teeth were chattering, but unfortunately, there was no explanation yet.
It was written in black and white that the salt field was purchased.
Of course, with the strength of the Liu family in Jinling, there is no need to reason. Anyone who dares to cheat the Liu family is definitely seeking death.
But this time, the one facing him was Prince Ning's Mansion. Even if the Liu family was in power, they couldn't defeat Prince Ning's Mansion.
"Second Master, we can't just let this matter go. Prince Ning has made it clear that he cheated us, and that's a million taels."
"Yes! We must seek justice."
"Inform the head of the family! The head of the family has been in the capital. We have given those officials so many benefits. It is time for them to come forward."
"..."
Everyone in the Liu family was filled with indignation.
Of course they can't afford to offend Prince Ning's Mansion, but the Liu family is not a soft persimmon to be slaughtered.
"Shut up!"
Liu Jingming shouted, "I have made my own decision on this matter."
Although one million taels is a lot, it is not worth offending Prince Ning's house. The key is that the Liu family is unreasonable, and it is not certain whether Prince Ning knows about it.
He was more inclined to think that everything was a trap dug by Lin Bai. How could Prince Ning have such a brain.
This mute has to suffer even if he has no choice but to suffer.
But the instigator...
Liu Jingming had a fierce look in his eyes, "Keep an eye on that boy and Veteran Logistics. Liu will let him know that the Liu family's money is not so easy to get."
