Chapter 45: The Art of Domination

"Your Highness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

When Wang Shijie saw Xiao Ming, he immediately gave up his hand with a flattering smile.

Xiao Ming pretended to be surprised and said, "Isn't this Brother Wang?" How are you here, what a coincidence. ā€

Wang Shijie thought to himself that in order to wait for you, I could freeze in the snow for a long time, but he still said: "Your Highness, this shows that we have a fate, these days I heard that His Highness has been closed, and he has not seen guests, and he has worked hard to study knowledge, I never thought that I would meet His Highness when I walked casually today." ā€œ

Xiao Ming has actually been hiding from the Wang family, playing to capture the old man.

A few days ago, it had been snowing heavily in Qingzhou, and it was cold outside, so he simply found an excuse not to see anyone, Wang Shijie came to him several times, but he was blocked out.

Especially because the Qin family made a fortune because of drunken Qingzhou, this Wang Shijie couldn't sit still, and came over every three or five days, and it is estimated that he will be waiting for him here as soon as he gets the news.

"Oh, there is such a thing, this king was working on a new gadget some time ago, which is a snub to Brother Wang." Xiao Ming said lightly.

"Something new?" Wang Shijie is like a cat that smells fishy, "I wonder what kind of magical thing Your Highness has invented?"

In Wang Shijie's view, the current King of Qi is obviously not the straw rice bucket he used to be, but a person who is rich and has strange ideas in his head.

They were naturally puzzled by this change, but King Qi was indeed still the King of Qi, and they could only understand that he had learned some special skills.

And this time Xiao Ming studied hard behind closed doors, which further confirmed this matter.

"This thing is magical, this time the Qin family is very in line with the king's mind in Drunken Qingzhou." Xiao Ming sold Guanzi.

Wang Shijie scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, now not only him, but his father Wang Chengchou is also like an ant on a hot pot, last time Qin Le drunk him with a few bowls of wine, he favored the Qin family, and the matter was fooled like this.

He came back to his senses and wanted to find Xiao Ming, but Xiao Ming closed the door again.

Now the wealthy family in Qingzhou does not know that the Qin family has made a fortune, and one jar of wine earns ten taels of silver, and this hundred altars, one round trip is one thousand taels.

Now it is said that Xiao Ming has increased the output again, and the Qin family now has no problem easily earning 10,000 taels of silver a month.

Compared with this drunken Qingzhou, although the briquette stove and briquettes are sold well in Chang'an, the profit is not as good as this drunken Qingzhou wine.

"Your Highness, this time you can't favor the Qin family anymore, this Qin Chuanyun wolf's ambition, Your Highness, you may not know that when your salt transportation division was not established, the Qin family was privately drying salt in Dengzhou and selling illegal salt." Wang Shijie hurriedly said, if the King of Qi continues like this, the Qin family will be able to surpass the Wang family in less than two years and become the largest family in Qingzhou.

Qian Dafu looked at Xiao Ming at this time, with a solemn expression.

The laws of the Great Chongqing Kingdom are very strict in the sale of illicit salt, even if Xiao Ming does not establish a salt transportation department, this ordinary merchant is also strictly forbidden to sell illicit salt, otherwise it is a big crime to raid the house and destroy the mouth.

Although this is Xiao Ming's fiefdom, if this matter is stabbed to Chang'an, even if Xiao Ming protects the Qin family, Xiao Wenxuan and the hundred officials in the court will put pressure on him to bring the Qin family to justice.

This Wang Shijie is talking to him about this now, and he wants to kill the Qin family.

His eyes narrowed, and Xiao Ming said, "Do you have any evidence?" ā€œ

"This foolish brother doesn't have it, but someone did see that Qin Mu once went to Dengzhou to transport salt." Wang Shijie affirmed.

Xiao Ming nodded coldly, "This king knows about this matter, and I will ask people to investigate this matter, but this matter is very important, and this king can't listen to your family, you go back, this king has his own plans in his heart." ā€

Wang Shijie saw Xiao Ming's ugly face, but he was happy in his heart, he didn't want to destroy the Qin family once, as long as Xiao Ming lost his trust in the Qin family.

Wang Shijie left, and Qian Dafu said with a smile: "Your Highness, this Wang family's father and son are very scheming, this is to provoke the relationship between you and the Qin family, but this matter can be used." ā€

Xiao Ming suddenly laughed, "This king likes dogs eat dogs the most, he wants to use this king, this king can use this matter to completely divide the Qingzhou Hao family, and divide the Qingzhou Hao family into two factions headed by the Wang family and the Qin family, so that they can be left and right." ā€œ

"Your Highness is wise, the way of the king is not to control the two words, and if you get its essence, you can stabilize your own position." Qian Dafu used to be a scholar, but he was not useless.

"That's right, it seems that this king should talk to Qin Chuanyun." Xiao Ming smiled like an old fox.

……

In the afternoon, the main hall of the palace of the king of Qi.

"Your Highness, slander, this is definitely slander!" Qin Chuanyun knelt on the ground, a handful of snot and a handful of tears.

The ordinary people of Dayu don't have to kneel when they see the emperor, unless they make a big mistake or are grateful, they will take the initiative to kneel, this time Xiao Ming called Qin Chuanyun to question about the private salt, and Qin Chuanyun was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot.

"Get up, for this king has not said that he will punish you for your sins." Xiao Ming said.

The reason why Qin Chuanyun is so scared is because selling illicit salt is a serious crime, and if Xiao Ming really wants to raid his family and exterminate his family, he can't resist, because once he resists, it is tantamount to rebellion.

"Your Royal Highness, Wang Shijie's bloody mouth spewed people, he was the wicked person to sue first, after His Royal Highness promulgated the Tuntian Law, the Wang family not only did not cooperate with His Highness's decree, but also hoarded cattle privately, raised the price and sold them to the people, and concealed the number of cultivated cattle from His Royal Highness, so that His Royal Highness had to go to King Wei to buy them, and please let His Highness investigate!" Qin Chuanyun said viciously, this is to hate the Wang family to the core.

Xiao Ming said secretly: These wealthy families are really not good things, one by one, they say one thing and do another, if it weren't for the Qin family's profits this time, the Wang family was red-eyed, and these two families probably had to fight but not break.

This time, he directly broke the relationship between the two families this time and let them not die, so that they would tear each other down, and they would be able to act cheaply.

"Really?" Xiao Ming asked sharply.

This sale of illicit salt is still a matter of the past, but after the promulgation of the Tuntian Law, the Wang family took the opportunity to make profits, although the cattle are owned by the Wang family, and the trade is free.

But it is difficult to make money in such a country, how can Xiao Ming feel comfortable.

"It's true, I don't believe that Your Highness can go to the Wang family's manors in various states to secretly investigate!" Qin Chuanyun said.

While the two were talking, Qian Dafu suddenly arrived at the door of the main hall, and he said, "Your Highness, Wang Chengchou is asking to see you outside the door." ā€

"This old thing, first plotted to kill me, and now when His Highness summons me, he must know that his hiding of the ploughing cattle has been revealed." Qin Chuanyun said angrily.

Xiao Ming was secretly happy, it was more in line with his mind that the two confronted each other in court, and he feigned anger and said: "In this case, the two of you will confront each other in court." ā€

After a while, Wang Chengchou arrived at the main hall, and the two of them were very red when they met, and a few steps forward, Wang Chengchou and Qin Chuanyun knelt down side by side, and shouted: "Your Highness, the grass people are guilty!" ā€
