Chapter 87 Money Can't Buy Life

As a businessman who takes the lead in making money, Yi Shan can't understand Liu Bai's approach at all.

If such fine salt was in his hands, he would have to sell it for at least twenty copper coins a tael, which is still a loss.

"One tael for three copper coins, can this price be returned?"

After hearing Yi Shan's words, Feng Quji laughed.

"Patriarch Yi, they are following the official route, what do you think?"

Yi Shan was at a loss for words.

No wonder you dare to sell it at such a low price. Since you are taking the official route, it is not surprising.

"Possibly get their way of making salt?"

Feng Quji shook his head.

"The old man has sent people to try it before, and the salt well is surrounded by officers and soldiers, and it is impossible to get in."

"Moreover, in order to prevent the secret recipe from being leaked, all the people involved in the salt making are under the son-in-law's subordinates...

"not to mention……"

Feng Quji took a look at Yi Shan, picked up his cup and took a sip of water.

"Besides what? Tell me quickly!"

"What's more, even with the prescription, can your price be cheaper than theirs?"

In a word, Jiang Yi Shan was speechless.

Yes, they have no official way to go.

For the transportation alone, the cost of three copper plates cannot even be returned.

Not to mention the manpower and material resources involved in salt production, those calculations are also a huge expense!
"Patriarch Yi, let me remind you that the salt business may not be possible in the future, the Yi family should find another way out as soon as possible!"

Yi Shan stared at Feng Quji viciously.

Find another way out?

My Yi family relies on salt, how can I find another way out?

In the past, when you took benefits, I didn't see you saying anything, but now you start to shrink back when encountering something, isn't it a bit unrighteous?
"Prime Minister Feng, you also know that salt is all that my Yi family relies on. If we stop for a day, thousands of people in the Yi family will go hungry... Or, can we cooperate with the son-in-law?"

Although Yi Shan was angry, he was still trying his best to keep this lucrative industry.

But in Feng Quji's view, his words and deeds are a bit too naive.

"Cooperation? I have just said that the method of making snow salt has been dedicated to His Majesty. You don't understand what I mean?"

"This……"

Yi Shan, who had been thinking about his own livelihood, finally understood the seriousness of the matter at this moment.

Since the son-in-law has His Majesty's support, it means that His Majesty has made a move!
According to Ying Zheng's behavior, once he made a move, he would never return empty-handed.

In this way, the end of these private salt dealers will come...

Blocking people's way of making money is like killing their parents, not to mention that Liu Bai is blocking the way of these salt sellers who disregard the law.

"How about taking that son-in-law..."

Yi Shan stretched out his hand, and performed a beheading motion with strength.

Feng Quji was shocked.

"Are you crazy? Even if you kill him, what's the use? The Royal Salt Shop will still open, Snow Salt will still be made, and you still have no way out..."

Yi Shan understands that this incident is the biggest hurdle that their Yi family has encountered over the years.

If it is passed, the road ahead will be smooth, but if it cannot be passed, it is still unknown whether the Yi family will exist in the future!

It was a matter of life and death for the family, Yi Shan forced himself to calm down.

He kept rubbing his hands, and after a while, the mouse's eyes glowed with light.

"Feng Xiang, your status in the court is one person below tens of thousands, is it unthinkable?"

Feng Quji closed his eyes slightly, and spoke after a while.

"There is a way, you take the lead, gather the salt sellers along the coast together, and give up that piece of land to the imperial court. In this way, maybe everyone can have a sip of soup along with it!"

"Impossible...Salt is our lifeblood, what will we eat and drink if we let it go out? Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor just watched us starve to death?"

Feng Quji sneered.

"What is it for, you know it in your heart! Don't be too greedy. With the current property of the Yi family, what kind of business can't be done? I think the owner of the Yi family is reluctant to part with the huge profits in the salt industry!"

After speaking, Yi Shan lowered his head.

The Yi family has some other businesses, but they are all played by the younger generation in the family.

In comparison, which industry can have the huge profits of the salt industry?
Is it not human nature not to want to let go?
"Since Xiang Feng can't help you, Yi will leave!"

"Hey, this matter has not been discussed yet, where are you going?"

Yi Shan returned to his previous appearance of a good man, laughing hehe.

"Of course I have my own way, so Feng Xiang doesn't need to worry about it?"

Feng Qu gave him a quick look.

"What do you mean by that? The old man invested a lot of money in your business!"

In order to tie Feng Quji to his boat, Yi Shan had to use his brains a lot.

Sending things and the like are just the most basic.

In the later period, the entire Feng family, including many members of Feng's party, all received dividends.

Of course, they also paid for it.

"Prime Minister Feng, you are always smiling when you pay dividends every month. Now that something happened, you proposed to invest the money. It is a bit too anxious to want to separate from my Yi family so soon!"

As the current prime minister, Feng Quji naturally wouldn't ruin his official career because of a businessman.

Now that the words have been said so far, there is no need to hide them.

"Patriarch Yi, I thought you were someone who could tell the truth before the big right and wrong, but it seems that the old man is thinking too much!"

"Since you don't want to give up the sea salt business, from now on, this old man has nothing to do with you!"

Seeing him so straightforward, Yi Shan felt a little uneasy.

After thinking about it, he tentatively said.

"Could it be that most of the prime minister's property is not wanted?"

Feng Quji chuckled lightly, his face full of indifference.

"Family property? Life is almost gone and need family property? Patriarch Yi, for the sake of our many years of cooperation, the old man reminds you that sometimes money can't be exchanged for life!"

"The money I voted for you, if I give it to you, it will be regarded as paying for my life!"

Yi Shan's complexion turned livid for an instant, and he said "Farewell" and returned to his house in Kyoto.

Feng Quji looked at his back and shook his head, muttering.

'Businessmen value profits, and they really don't even want their lives! '

……

In the Royal Salt Store, one after another common people entered with joy and went out with satisfaction.

Since the first person bought it, it has been passed on from ten to ten to hundreds of people, and there is an endless stream of people coming.

Wang Li led four soldiers to maintain order outside the shop, sweating profusely from exhaustion.

I kept regretting in my heart, why didn't I bring a few more people here at the beginning.

Xiao He and Cao Shen in the store were extremely busy, and even Liu Bai and Sima Chang turned into assistants, helping to sell salt.

As night fell, several people sat in the shop, so tired that they didn't even want to talk.

Liu Bai closed his eyes slightly, listening to the voice of the system in his mind.

【Ding!Congratulations to the host for vigorously promoting refined salt, the national power of Qin State has greatly increased, and the system rewards: Liuli manufacturing method! 】

Liu Bai's eyes brightened slightly, Liuli?It seems that the price of perfume can go up to a higher level!
Xiao He looked at the empty salt bucket with a gratified smile on his face.

He has seen the poor life of the people with his own eyes. Now that he has this snow salt, the money saved should make their life better!

Wang Li asked.

"All sold out?"

Liu Bai nodded, not only the ones placed before, but also the ones in the warehouse were sold out.

Wang Li slapped his thigh, annoyed.

"It's over, I forgot to buy some for the mansion after a busy day..."

Seeing his appearance, everyone laughed.

"Don't worry, I'll leave all of you who came to help today!"

Several people clasped their fists together to express their thanks, especially the four soldiers, they were even more grateful to the son-in-law.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone dragged their tired bodies and returned to their respective mansions one after another.
