"Your Highness, Prince Qi, our people have just received news that Liu Qi sent someone to deliver 30,000 stones of refined salt. Now it has been delivered to the palace. I am afraid that the money we originally prepared is not enough!"
Yang Sheng came to Wang Shengzhi's house in a hurry and said to Liu Xian quickly.
"Another thirty thousand dan?"
This time really made Liu Xian hesitate. If it was normal, 30,000 rock salt would be nothing, but now, this is the Kingdom of Dai after all, and it is more than a thousand miles away from the Kingdom of Wu.
It is not an easy task to transport money from Wu State.
There are many mountains and rivers along the way, and more importantly, wealth and silk are touching people's hearts.
The originally calculated amount suddenly increased so much that he really couldn't eat it for a while!
"Just find a few good merchants in Jinyang City to borrow some money, and send someone to send money from Guangling as soon as possible!"
Liu Xian thought for a while and then said, at this time, it is already the time when the two sides are fighting head-to-head. No one dares to show a trace of fatigue. What Liu Xian wants to fight for now is the position of leader of the Seven Kingdoms.
Only in this operation, by crushing all the countries with the attitude of a king, can we achieve the state of being able to respond to a hundred responses in the future!
"But Your Highness, we have invested too much money this time. Do we really need to do this? Why not just give these extra things to King Chu and the others!"
Yang Sheng said after considering it.
"Just do as I tell you, Mr. Yang. Don't settle those small accounts at this time. What do we need money for? Is Wu still short of this little money? What we want is the general trend of the world!"
Liu Xian was even more disappointed with Yang Sheng. At this time, Yang Sheng was still calculating things about winning money. This really made him feel that there was a sense that they were not working together.
Seeing Liu Xian feeling disgusted, Yang Sheng couldn't help but curse himself secretly. This tnd couldn't control his bad mouth all day long.
This money does not belong to the family, so why should the father and son save this money?
"promise!"
Yang Sheng turned around and went out, looking for a few merchants with whom he usually got along, to discuss loaning money.
After sending someone to hand over the supplies to Chao Cuo, Zhang Tu finally gained strength and had time to go home and change his clothes.
"Master Tutor, I just received news that Liu Xian and the others are looking for several big merchants in the city to borrow money! They are actually offering a monthly interest of 5 cents!"
The Zhang family's housekeeper suddenly walked in and spoke to Zhang Tu in a low voice.
"Oh? It seems like his rabbit's tail can't grow!"
There was a mysterious smile on Zhang Tu's lips.
This thing is really getting more and more interesting. Prince Wu actually needs to borrow money from the merchants of Dai. I really don’t know what those merchants who followed him and hoarded money will do if this news spreads throughout Dai. What do you think?
"Come here, please send someone to draft a notice for me to let the conscientious merchants in the city open warehouses to sell salt!"
Zhang Tu thought for a while and then said.
"Master Taifu, the price of salt has now skyrocketed, and it seems that it will rise again soon. If you just send a notice, I'm afraid no one will listen!"
The old housekeeper said with some embarrassment.
This is an obvious thing. Whether it is the merchants in the city or the wealthy families, all of them are about to make a fortune now. How can they push the money they have received to other places?
If Zhang Tu comes to visit in person, maybe someone else will release some goods for the sake of the Grand Tutor.
However, if someone sells goods just based on a notice, then that guy must be out of his mind.
"Just do it as you are told, why is there so much nonsense!"
Zhang Tu rolled his eyes, why has this old guy been talking more and more recently?
"promise!"
The old housekeeper was stunned. In the past, his master would listen to what he said as long as it was reasonable.
But what happened to the master today? What he said was only human nature. Why was the master so angry?
After changing his clothes, Zhang Tu came to the palace again and asked to see Liu Deng.
This is really a good time to make money. Now people are buying salt all over the city. Everyone is buying like crazy, whether they are wealthy families or merchants from all over the place.
Now everyone is following the trend crazily. This is human nature, but it doesn't matter. The reason why Zhang Tu issued such a seemingly useless notice was to stop the public from talking about it in the future.
"Your Majesty, Liu Xian has no money now. It is said that he is borrowing money from several major merchants. Do you think we should..."
Zhang Tu didn't continue talking at this point, but his meaning was already obvious, and Liu Deng certainly understood what he wanted to do.
"Now is not the time. How much salt do we still have in our hands that has not been sold?"
Liu Deng thought for a while and then asked.
"Including what Mr. Chao brought this time, there are still a total of 60,000 stones of refined salt, and there are only less than 50,000 stones of coarse salt left!"
Zhang Tu thought about it and then said.
"Why are there so many more?"
Liu Deng touched his nose. After eating for so long, these people could still have so much left for themselves. Could it be that these guys couldn't eat anymore?
"My lord, what do you mean?"
"Speed up the speed. If it doesn't work, let our people help them. Just use them to mortgage the properties and shops in our country!"
Liu Deng is not afraid of these guys defaulting on their debts. After all, this country is his own territory, even if they all have the background of princes and kings.
However, as long as he knocks it down with his stick, not to mention those young princes, even the old man Wu Wang Liu Bi will be unable to eat it!
Even mountains of gold and silver can be dug out one day. Liu Deng directly broke more than half of Wu King Liu Bi's cornucopia.
As for the remaining half, Liu Deng still has a second stick waiting for him, but that’s a story for another day!
"Old minister, I understand. I'll go out and make arrangements right now!"
Liu Deng only had money left now. The income from selling salt in the past two days was really white money flowing into the warehouse like a tide.
And they are all made of fine snowflake silver. This kind of thing was originally prepared by the princes and kings to pay tribute to the court.
Now everything falls into Liu Deng's hands!
"Master Sheep, it's not that we don't want to help, it's because all our own money is tied up with the goods. Now even if we want to help you, we can't help you!"
Something unexpected happened to Yang Sheng. He went out to borrow money in the name of Prince Wu. The interest rate was already 5 cents per month, but no one paid any attention to him...
