Liu Qi was almost not amused by him. He was a prince of a big man. How could he be so rich that he could rival the country?

"Give me a chance, I really want to meet this kid!"

No matter who it is, they will probably be in a good mood after having gained hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for nothing.

Liu Qi was now so proud that he had forgotten all the little worries he had just now. Just now, after Chao Cuo said the four words "wealthy and powerful", Liu Qi suddenly discovered that money can really help people solve their problems. Lots of worries.

"If you want to see him, wouldn't there be an opportunity in January this year? He has just ascended the throne this year. Logically speaking, in January, he needs to come to Beijing to express his gratitude!"

After hearing what Liu Qi said, Chao Cuo hurriedly said.

"To put it this way, it's only a few months away. Let me wait and see for a few more months! Sir, you have worked hard all the way. After handing over the errand, go back and rest first. Leave the rest to Chuntuo and the others. go a head!"

Looking at Chao Cuo's face full of dust, Liu Qi was somewhat moved in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will take my leave!"

After going back and handing in the errand, he ordered his servants to prepare the treasury. Chao Cuo also went directly home to rest. Not to mention, at his age, the hassle of traveling back and forth really almost killed him. half a life.

However, this hard work is nothing compared to the huge gains.

Speaking of Liu Deng, since he got the money, Liu Xian's mood has been like riding a roller coaster every day. The prices at Liu Deng's place are increasing every day.

In the next few days, purchase restrictions have actually begun, which gave him the illusion that he was only one step away from success.

But this one step away really made him feel out of reach every time.

Today is already the tenth day. Today’s 10,000 rock salt was bought by the clerk early in the morning.

In the past ten days, the 500,000 taels of silver he had raised again were almost at the bottom again.

This gave him the urge to vomit blood. Where did this guy get so much salt?

He even sent people to open all the salt bags one by one, trying to find evidence of Liu Deng's fraud, and then flipped him to the ground.

But the reality disappointed him again and again. The salts delivered were all high-quality green salt, and each bag was worth just one stone, so it was absolutely pure.

Suddenly, rumors spread everywhere, and many people who had spent all their money to fry salt with them finally couldn't stand it any longer, and large chunks of coarse salt began to be sold crazily.

The price has been falling all the way. From the original price of one stone, it has dropped to 300 yuan in a few days. If Liu Xian and the others had not gritted their teeth and accepted it, I am afraid that the price would have fallen to the bottom now.

"Your Highness, Zhao Tingfang and the others are here. Do you want to meet them? They have been under a lot of pressure recently..."

All over the city, the people who originally followed them to speculate in salt have now given up. Only a few of them are still persisting. The salt in the hands of retail investors alone is enough to exhaust them.

What's more, their own hearts are full of bad premonitions.

The salt of Liu Deng's boys seems to be endless. If this continues, I'm afraid they will all lose their money in the end.

"No! Let them do whatever they have to do. Now that we have reached this point, there is no way to turn back. If we turn back, we will die. We can only grit our teeth and persevere!"

Liu Xian gritted his teeth and said.

"But Your Highness, our people have seen something these past few nights. It seems that every night, dozens of carts of salt are delivered to the official warehouse from outside the city. Do you think that legend is true?" …”

Yang Sheng said after considering it.

"This is impossible. We in the Wu Kingdom are experts at boiling salt. How is it possible in this world that someone can produce tens of thousands of stones of salt in a day?"

Liu Xian has fallen into madness. At this moment, he is like a gambler who is desperate to lose. He no longer cares about whether he can win. All he wants to do is to continue gambling.

"Your Majesty, we have accumulated 30,000 rock salt in our treasury these days. According to estimates, in another ten days, we should be able to accumulate another 100,000 rock salt. When do you think our trading company will set off? "

With Zhang Tu's operation, the preparation of the trading company was completed very quickly. So far, all the clerks and shopkeepers needed by the trading company have been prepared.

It is of course very simple for a country to do such a thing, not to mention that they are selling salt. In today's Han Dynasty, this is a profitable business. As long as you are not a fool, it is impossible to lose money. Especially Liu Deng's current situation, the cost of making salt is so low that it is simply outrageous.

Even if you go to seven countries to open a store, the cost is only a store, transportation and labor costs.

However, in this day and age, manpower is the least valuable.

"The goods are too small to cause any big action. Let's do this. Starting tomorrow, the limit will be changed to 5,000 stone. Let me stock up with all my strength. I will see 200,000 stone salt in 10 days! As for the trading company, go to Wu State immediately. Guangling, prepare for the opening, other countries will discuss it later!"

There was a cruel smile on Liu Deng's lips. If he wanted to have surgery, he would start from Wu State. Didn't that old boy always bully others because of his money?

When Wu's salt production industry completely collapses, let's see how long he can continue to be arrogant!

"promise!"

With Liu Deng's business plan, the enthusiasm of the officials in the imperial court, especially the senior officials, was greatly enhanced.

They were the first batch of beneficiaries of the business plan. The second-generation ancestors and poor relatives in the family were now put to great use.

Although this was originally a lowly servant, it was at least a way out. After all, he was his nephew.

Seeing that all of them are incompetent in culture and martial arts, and can only fly around like eagles and horses, fighting cocks and walking dogs all day long, how can any parent not get angry in a hurry?

Being a businessman, although it doesn't sound very good, and it has to be separated from the family.

However, the relationship between flesh and blood cannot be divided at any time. It is just a piece of paper. As long as they are willing to pay attention to it, they can naturally make a fortune.

Just when Liu Deng was full of ambition, eager to try, and preparing to fight the King of Wu with his sword, suddenly a young eunuch came to report that his mother had invited him.

Liu Deng's heart was full of pity for this miserable woman.

In any case, he is indeed her son now. Since his mother has called him, he can only go back quickly to see what is going on.

"Mother, please come here. What's the matter?"

After arriving in the harem and bowing to his mother, Liu Deng asked doubtfully.

"Mom also knows that you are really busy recently. I didn't want to disturb you at first, but there is something that my mother really can't bear to swallow, so she can only discuss it with you..."

As she spoke, the Queen Mother actually started crying.
