At night, Peng Yue led his people to drive the carriage out of the city, wandering around in the suburbs, hiding in a hidden place he found in advance, changed his clothes, and quietly returned to Bieyuan with Yingchi and others.
"We are back, haha...!"
As soon as he entered the gate, Peng Yue burst out laughing.
Don't worry about cheating those noble and wealthy businessmen!
You have to pretend and not laugh outside, but when you return to the house, you can finally let go!
"Keep your voice down, the young master is here!"
Han Xin in the yard punched him and told him to shut up.
"The young master is here? Where is he?"
Han Xin quietly pointed to the main hall.
Peng Yue strode across the yard and walked towards the main hall. He found the young lady sitting in a rocking chair and taking a nap. Yu Ji stood beside her and beat her legs. She quickly bowed her hands and saluted, "Young Master!"
"Are you all back?"
Hearing the sound, Mr. Xiaozheng sat up, and Yu Ji also changed his position and helped him squeeze his shoulders.
Not to mention, Yu Ji's white and tender little hands were so comfortable to hold on her body. If Peng Yue hadn't come back at this time, he would really have fallen asleep!
"Back to you, young master, they are all back!"
"What accident happened?"
"No, those rich and distinguished households are rushing to buy like crazy. If it hadn't been dark, they would have continued to buy...!
Peng Yue said excitedly: "Young master, you don't know that the common people's eyes were straightened when they saw the salt, but no one dared to touch it. Later, when the wealthy and distinguished households heard the news, they came to buy it one after another. Our voices have become hoarse!"
"This is just the beginning. Xianyang City is so big, only a small part of it will be visited today, and there will be even more tomorrow...!"
Xiao Zhengtai looked full of enjoyment and said with a smile: "Bring a few more people tomorrow and try to sell out in one day!"
"okay!"
Peng Yue readily agreed.
At this moment, Yu Wenxuan walked in and said, "Young Master, the money from selling salt has been counted!"
"How many?"
"A total of two thousand eight hundred and thirty-two gold!"
Yu Wenxuan worked carefully and counted 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 Tongwuhou Mansion.
Before entering the door, I heard Wang Wan's childish and slightly coquettish voice, "Dad, Zhang Jia and Liu Xin's family have already bought refined salt, why don't we buy some too? Don't buy more, just buy a little!"
The Zhang Jia and Liu Xin she mentioned were her playmates, and they were both the daughters of the ministers of the DPRK.
I also heard about the refined salt from two people.
She was the only one around her who didn't know what it smelled like, so she approached Wang Ben and asked him to send someone to buy it!
"Buy whatever you want. Isn't the salt that grandpa brought back good enough? The salt in the city comes from unknown sources, so it's best not to touch it!"
However, her father, who always loved her, did not agree.
"Of course the ones grandpa brought back are good, but there are too few, and they are not the same as the ones on the street!"
Wang Wan didn't mean anything else, she was just curious.
At this moment, Wang Li strode in, and Wang Wan turned his gaze, "Brother, have you heard that a refined salt seller suddenly appeared in the city, all white as snow?"
"certainly!"
Wang Li smiled and nodded.
"If I guess correctly, the young master sent someone to sell the salt, right?"
Wang Jian, who had been silent until now, sat in the main seat and suddenly laughed.
"What?"
Wang Wanmei's eyes suddenly opened wide, as if she heard something incredible.
Isn’t that guy good at martial arts and upright? Since when did you have anything to do with salt?
Or the ultimate fine salt?
"How does grandpa know?"
Wang Li was also very shocked.
They kept this matter very secret, not many people knew about it, and the people involved were all new faces, so no one should find out!
"Haha! If I guess correctly, within three days, the price of fine salt will plummet!"
Wang Jian stroked his beard confidently, as if he had understood everything.
"That's right!"
Wang Li nodded like he was pounding garlic.
"How did grandpa know that the price of salt would plummet?"
Wang Wan was even more confused now.
Even if the refined salt is made by those short legs, who would sell it at a low price instead of selling it at a high price?
"Remember that bag of refined salt from last time?"
"Remember!"
"The young master once said when he gave me the bag of salt that he would provide the method of purification. Now that so much time has passed, a batch of salt of similar quality suddenly appeared in Xianyang City. It was 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 price of salt in the future will not be too high!"
"So I speculate that the young master thinks that ordinary people will not be able to buy the first batch after it is launched, so he sells it at a high price in this way, deliberately letting the dignitaries compete for it. When they have grabbed enough, the court will also make money. , the second batch of salt is also on the market, and people can buy it normally, and those nobles who have just bought salt will not hoard it again!"
"They did not go out to sell salt under the banner of the royal family. Even if those nobles realized that they had been deceived, they would not blame His Majesty and the young master. Is that right?"
Wang Jian looked cunning and scheming, having understood the whole matter thoroughly.
"Grandpa, how do you know?"
"Dad, how do you know?"
The three people in the room were immediately stunned.
Why do you say it as if you were personally involved in this matter?
Especially Wang Li, who was working with the young master. He knew all about the process and purpose of this matter. It was indeed like this, absolutely!
"Hehe, none of you stupid heads will follow me...!"
Wang Jian rolled his eyes at the three of them in anger, "Isn't this obvious? Have any of you ever seen salt as white as snow before?"
"No!"
"Then let's stop it! Only the young master knows how to make salt. The salt seller said that he is from the East China Sea and not a local. It is obvious that the salt belongs to the young master. He is plotting against those noble and wealthy households. Money in your pocket! Hahaha...!"
As he spoke, Wang Jian burst into laughter.
He was very satisfied with this apprentice, he was proficient in all things literary, military and military, and he was also a top-notch strategist!
In just this one afternoon, I don’t know how many wealthy and distinguished people were tricked by him!
When the price of salt is announced, their intestines will probably be filled with regret!
"Grandpa, you are really amazing. You can know all the young master's plans without leaving home...!"
Wang Li sat down next to Wang Jian with great admiration and said enthusiastically: "The young master said that when the salt sales are about the same tomorrow, he will send Han Xin and others to take Peng Yue away in front of the people, saying that they are private salt dealers. Catch them and put them in jail, then the second batch of salt will arrive, and then sell it to salt merchants for retail sale, and the people of Qin will be able to eat snow-white refined salt!"
"Um!"
Wang Jian smiled and nodded.
"I really didn't expect that those short legs have such a good brain!"
Wang Wan's attitude towards Xiao Zhengtai has changed.
