The news about salt comes from the ascended flying pigeon.
He informed Tang Yang.
Zhao Lin, the emperor of Nanlin Kingdom, took the initiative to send people to look for him, hoping that he could sell the salt at a price lower than that sold by the Dongguo clan.
He will do his best to provide guarantee for promotion!
A few days ago, Tang Yang had ordered the Dragon God Guards to hire killers from the world, pretending to be members of the Dongguo clan to assassinate the ministers Zhao Lin currently needed to rely on.
This forced him to suppress the Dongguo clan.
In this way, his salt can enter the Nanlin Kingdom, giving him an opportunity to suppress the Dongguo clan.
However, the news of the assassination has not yet come. Tang Yang originally thought that after the assassination, he ordered Rongsheng to take the initiative to ask Zhao Lin to sell salt at his house.
I really didn't expect that Zhao Lin would take the initiative to come before the assassination was completed.
Rongsheng asked if he would agree to Zhao Lin's request.
Tang Yang did not make a decision immediately, but after eating, he came to Tianwu Pavilion.
At this time, the worshiper was controlling the chess pieces and playing Go with Song Yonggui from a distance.
Between the two sides you come and I go.
It has reached a fever pitch.
Although Tang Yang knew some peerless chess games, in fact his level of Go could only be considered average.
Their chess skills were superb, and Tang Yang had no intention of interrupting or disturbing them.
An hour later.
Song Yonggui shook his head and said: "My chess skills are far superior to those of me. I will admit defeat!"
"Haha, little friend Song, don't belittle yourself. Your chess skills are no less than my chess skills. It's just that little friend Song seems to have something on his mind, which makes his heart unstable. In the end, he was half a step ahead of me." Xianfeng said modestly.
"Sir, are you thinking about salt?" Tang Yong then spoke.
Only then did Song Yonggui realize that Tang Yang was coming!
He quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings to Your Majesty."
"Sir, no need to be polite!"
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. What you are thinking about is salt. This matter is related to your Majesty's grand plan. I have to think more about it." Song Yonggui replied.
"Sir, look at this!" Tang Yang handed the letter to Song Yonggui.
After opening it and reading it.
Song Yonggui then had a suggestion: "Your Majesty, let Rong Sheng decline this matter first. The reason is that among the salt merchants in Nanlin State, the Dongguo family is the largest, and he cannot afford to offend!
The salt merchants of Xia State were suspicious of each other, which was more conducive for him to swallow up Xia State's salt business.
therefore!
He decided to wait until he established a foothold in Xia Country before going to other countries to sell!
And Nanlin Kingdom!
Only after Zhao Lin finished dealing with the Dongguo clan would he be willing to sell salt to Nanlin Country!
In addition, Rong Sheng also wanted to express overtly and covertly that the Dongguo clan in Nanlin Kingdom was far more powerful than him, the emperor, and he was not willing to believe what Zhao Lin said! "
"With your arrangement like this, aren't you afraid that Zhao Lin won't be willing to let my father sell salt in the end? Wouldn't it be impossible to sell anything by then?" Rong Ling'er raised an objection.
Song Yonggui was very patient: "Miss Ling'er, this is wrong. Based on my understanding of Zhao Lin, although he has great ambitions and is considered a shrewd person, to be specific, he is only a little clever.
The assassination operation has not officially started yet, so the reason why he actively seeks Rongsheng's cooperation is probably just a test.
If he agrees at this time, he will definitely think that His Majesty is behind his promotion.
The purpose of salt coming to Nanlin Kingdom is to harvest the wealth of Nanlin Kingdom and fill the treasury of Xia Kingdom!
If so!
Even if he is willing to let the salt be sold in the future, he will definitely keep it in reserve. When the low-priced salt helps him suppress the Dongguo clan, he will take action immediately!
But at this time, they were unwilling to cooperate, showing their fear of the Dongguo clan.
Then Zhao Lin would think that even Rong Sheng was unwilling to come to Nanlin Kingdom to sell salt, so the person behind it must not be His Majesty! It is not even a move by His Majesty to enrich the Xia Kingdom.
in this way!
He can then safely let low-priced salt enter the Nanlin Kingdom, thus suppressing the Dongguo clan.
In addition, Miss Ling'er doesn't have to worry. She can't buy salt. Once the assassination happens, Zhao Lin will definitely feel more pressure from the Dongguo clan. Whenever there was pressure before, I would always help him solve it!
Now that he is gone, his mood will be very urgent.
Eager to find a way to suppress the Dongguo clan.
By then, our low-priced salt will be regarded as a life-saving straw by him!
Even if someone objects, he will catch them at all costs! "
"That makes sense." Rong Ling'er nodded thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, does what I say conform to your wishes?" Song Yonggui looked at Tang Yang.
"To be honest, sir, after seeing the contents of the envelope, I really wanted to agree directly. If it weren't for your presence, I would have thought of discussing it with you. I have ordered Rongsheng to agree to Zhao Lin. After all, Du Guyi The party is pressing harder and harder on finances, and I really need money to make up for those holes." Tang Yang said with shame.
"Your Majesty's reaction is the most normal reaction. If your subordinates didn't understand Zhao Lin, I'm afraid he would be like you and would directly agree." Song Yonggui said hurriedly.
"Ha ha!"
Tang Yang burst out laughing. Song Yonggui was not only brilliant in strategy and good at attacking people's hearts, but he could also take care of each other's mood at all times during communication. He was truly a rare talent.
"Then let's make arrangements according to what Mr. just said."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Song Yonggui bowed again: "It's just that your Majesty needs to be urged to do more about the assassination. Time is not waiting for me!"
"Before coming to Tianwu Pavilion, I had already ordered the Dragon God Guard to rush this matter. There will definitely be results in the near future." Tang Yang replied.
"Here"
"You guys can continue playing chess."
Tang Yang waved his hand and left Tianwu Pavilion.
When he received the news, he was still grilling meat for Su Nianqing in the imperial dining room. Before he could show off his oyster sauce, he was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back and he trotted to the imperial dining room.
At this time, an extremely rich fragrance could be heard in the imperial dining room.
When I went in, I saw Liu Meier lighting the fire and Su Nianqing cooking.
In a short time, Su Nianqing had made three plates of side dishes.
They all use vegetables that were only available in this era, paired with pork and dishes fried in an iron pot.
The smell seemed to be very different from what Tang Yang had made before, so he picked it up with chopsticks and tasted it.
His eyes suddenly looked shocked!
Because the seasonings are different from modern ones, the taste is naturally different from modern ones. But under her preparation, the taste is no worse than that of chefs in modern five-star hotels.
After taking one bite, you feel your mouth is full of saliva and your lips and teeth are fragrant.
Tang Yang, who was already hungry and had his chest pressed against his back, suddenly felt a surge of appetite and couldn't help but eat.
Seeing her husband gobbling up the food, Su Nianqing saw it in her eyes and felt happy in her heart.
"Your Majesty, please eat slowly and I will cook it for you later."
Su Nianqing cooked eighteen dishes in a row. Tang Yang ate them all and burped before stopping.
Looking up, he saw that he had eaten them all by himself.
Not only was he out of town these days and couldn't eat much stir-fry, but also because Su Nianqing's cooking skills were so good that he couldn't help but eat a lot.
"It's really delicious! You've eaten it all, how can we eat it?" Rong Ling'er rolled her eyes.
"My lord fairy, when your majesty has finished eating, I will make it for you again." Su Nianqing said hurriedly.
Rong Ling'er didn't know what was wrong. When facing Su Nianqing, she had no temper at all. Instead, her cheeks were slightly red: "Princess Su, you don't need to call me Fairy, call me Ling..."
Tang Yang coughed!
Although he did not want to deceive Su Nianqing, Long Qing and Rong Ling'er were both described by Tang Yang as fairies who descended to earth with the help of mortal bodies. They were fairies and they must not tell their original names.
Rong Ling'er was also a smart person, so she reacted immediately and quickly changed her words: "Princess Su, you can just call me fairy. I'm not old enough so I don't need to call you adult."
Su Nianqing looked at Tang Yang for help.
"My dear concubine, since the fairy has said this, then respect the fairy's wishes!"
"Here!"
Su Nianqing nodded.
After Tang Yang burped again, he took out the oyster sauce and asked Su Nianqing to put it in after cooking!
The umami taste increased rapidly, which naturally caused Su Nianqing to exclaim again.
The dishes become more layered, and the final taste naturally improves to a higher level.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Yang and Su Nianqing took charge of the cooking together, and after everyone had eaten.
Tang Yang got to the point and asked Su Nianqing if she was ready for the competition for the position of queen?
Su Nianqing had already prepared for this. Now after her toughness last time, her self-confidence has been greatly improved: "Your Majesty, the competition can start at any time!"
"In this case, the faster the better, the competition will begin after tomorrow morning!" Tang Yang made a decision immediately, and then ordered people to spread the news to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Lin Guangling's Mansion.
