Zhang Tu left in a hurry. Originally, he had enough things to do, but now he had another matter to prepare for the trading company, and this matter was a bit urgent.
After all, Liu Xian and the others are only a few days away from jumping around. By then, the salt produced in this salt lake every day will definitely need a place to go.
In any case, Daiguo's territory must not be able to digest so many things.
If these things are to be exchanged for real money and silver, of course they have to be sold to various vassal states.
Moreover, as long as they can stick to the method of making salt now, the high-quality green salt produced in Daiguo will probably occupy the entire Han market for a long time to come.
Whether it is the salt wells of Wu and Chu or the imperial court, they will definitely cease to exist in the face of Liu Deng's price advantage.
After all, Liu Deng's business was almost costless, and the price of firewood and labor costs alone had greatly increased their costs.
If Liu Deng is forced to fight in the ring at his price, I'm afraid that even if the King of Wu's family really has gold and silver, it will be completely wiped out.
Liu Deng didn't care about him so much. He happened to have such a period of free time, and it was really important to take good care of his own flowers.
The Huns are coming soon, and the defense of the border here should also be put on the agenda. Speaking of the Huns, not only Daiguo, but also the entire Han Dynasty are talking about the Huns.
Many ministers in the DPRK have always believed in the policy of peace and affinity towards the Xiongnu. Because of the nomadic habits of the Huns. Even if the Han Dynasty could obtain their land, it would not be of much use value. The endless grasslands would only further increase the Han Dynasty's military expenditures.
I have only heard of a man who commits a thousand days to be a thief. Who has heard of a thousand days to prevent a thief?
After all, Liu Deng came from later generations. Although he knew that the Huns were evil, he didn't have a deep understanding of this.
Even Liu Deng himself did not expect that this negligence would directly change his view of the Huns.
After working until dark, he finally managed to dispose of all the things he had on hand. These pepper seedlings were so precious that Liu Deng didn't dare to waste any of them.
Move them to a large flower pot, and then tell Du Ziteng to take care of them carefully.
In the next few days, Liu Deng finally lived the life he had longed for.
He slept until he woke up naturally, and counted money until his hands cramped. Except for the unbearable pig food he ate, Liu Deng was still very satisfied with other things.
After earning so much money, Liu Deng felt a little elated. In order to improve his life, Liu Deng decided to take matters into his own hands and start having enough food and clothing.
"Little Dudu, go get that damn cook and send someone to prepare some good soybeans for me! And get me a well-killed pig!"
If you don’t have any seasoning, just make it yourself. Making soy sauce is actually not that difficult, but it is a bit of a waste of time.
But now it doesn’t matter what I want, so I can only hold on by myself.
Just when Liu Deng was improving his happy life, Chao Cuo finally returned to Chang'an City.
"Your Highness, your invitation to repair the East Palace has been rejected again. Empress Bo's house had rain leaks yesterday. What do you think we should do..."
He had just returned from the court, and Liu Qi's butt was still hot, so the eunuch Chun Tuo came to report in a hurry.
"What did you say? Rejected again?"
Regarding Zhang Cang's harshness, Liu Qi, the crown prince, was also very helpless. However, repairing the East Palace was not a small project. If it were calculated, it would not cost more than hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The prince did save some money over the years, but because he heard about Liu Deng, he gave most of his savings to Liu Deng.
Although he had seen his responsibilities as an uncle, his money suddenly became much tighter. Now it's better, and there is no money to repair the palace where the princess lives.
He had already filed three memorials for this rain leakage issue, but now, he was rejected again.
"Let's see how much money we have left in our treasury, go find some craftsmen, and repair the princess' place first, and solve the leaking problem first, and then we can make plans when Master Chao comes back! "
Liu Qi also had a headache. He knew in his heart that there might only be tens of thousands of coins left in the East Palace's warehouse.
Even if we could barely repair the crown prince's place, I'm afraid it would cost at least thirty or forty thousand dollars.
I’m afraid I’m going to be stretched thin in the future, and it’s really a headache just thinking about it.
"But Your Highness, your study can't be delayed any longer. When the rain starts, I'm afraid all the ancient books in your study will be ruined!"
Chuntuo said with some embarrassment.
"Okay, okay, I get it!"
Liu Qi was a little upset. When did his dignified prince start to worry about the leakage in his house?
It sounds like a coward. Everyone in the world envies the emperor for his wealth, but he, the future emperor, is now so poor that he wants to take out every last copper in his pocket?
"promise!"
Seeing that Liu Qi was about to explode, Chun Tuo shrank his neck and quickly retreated.
The situation in the court has been getting worse and worse recently. Liu Qi went to the palace specially today to have a meal with his wife.
Since the queen became blind, her position in the palace was in jeopardy, which made Liu Qi very worried, although he is still sitting in the position of prince.
However, since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, women in this harem have always been valued based on their mother and son. Although her mother is now the queen, she has completely lost the favor of her father because of these eyes.
On the contrary, it was Mrs. Shen and Yin Ji. The favor between the two of them was growing day by day, which made Liu Qi have to worry about whether he would lose his position as crown prince one day because of this.
After all, my father is getting older and older. If he suddenly becomes confused one day, it will really be a disaster for him.
Could it be that after being a prince for so many years, I can't even do such a small thing?
This is how people are, the more they feel useless, the more they feel that everything is not going well.
What should we do?
But at this time, her only confidant, Chao Cuo, was not around, which made him feel even more unhappy.
"Your Highness, are you in the palace?"
Although Chuntuo was just an eunuch, he had grown up with Liu Qi after all. He was depressed about repairing the house when he suddenly heard Chao Cuo's voice, which made him overjoyed.
