Mu Yunyao turned her head to the side and blinked, her face full of smiles."It's not easy to get what you want, how can you so easily give it back. Naturally, we have to let the salt merchants buy it at a high price!" "You want to spread the news and cause a panic amongst the salt merchants, before sending a group of people out to lead the salt merchants to buy salt to save the situation. This way, although it will cause a commotion, the result will not be that serious, and with the Li Family holding the fort in Jiangnan, Prime Minister Li Qingzhou will definitely be there.
We will definitely find a way to mediate the situation, and it is highly likely that the Emperor will take it lightly."
"That's right."
Yue Yang pondered for a moment."What if the salt merchants don't listen to their exhortation?"
If they hear it, they will just spend some silver taels to protect their lives, and they will have the chance to earn more silver taels in the future. If they do not listen, they might even lose their lives this time.
"This way, the salt merchants will probably hate all of them." Everyone is just a nobody, if you want to hate someone, you have to hate the person controlling you from behind. Didn't Fourth Master pave the way for you earlier? " Mu Yunyao could guess at King Yue's thoughts. Their identities were all disguised by King Yue. It was said that they were connected to the Capital's First Prince's residence, so even if those salt merchants wanted them ...
Hate, should also go to the First Prince, the main culprit.
"This is indeed a good method. No wonder you were so generous just now to buy the salt in my hand back at the market price." Yue Yang gave a spurious smile as he looked at Mu Yunyao. If he had agreed right now, he would probably lose a lot.
Mu Yunyao couldn't hold back her laughter."Fourth Master is wise and easily saw through my little tricks. It seems that I've made a joke out of myself."
"I will immediately send someone to spread the news. Tell everyone to be alert at all times, and do not let their guard down. Do not let your guard down, and do not let your guard down."
During this period of observation, that fellow could be considered a rare genius. If he could use it well in the future, he would be able to wield a sharp sword. It would be a great pity if he were to lose it at this time.
"Alright, then thank you, Master Four." Mu Yunyao was happy that she didn't need to come and cause trouble for herself. After standing up and bowing, she said goodbye.
After Mu Yunyao left, Supervisor Qin walked in with a sorrowful expression."I really wonder how Miss Mu's thoughts are so long, how can you be so smart?"
Hearing this, King Yue was somewhat proud in his heart: "The first time she saw me, she was extremely intelligent. She even swindled a dagger from me." Hearing King Yue's slightly arrogant tone, Supervisor Qin could not help but smile: "Previously, in order to spread the scene, I was thinking about making money with all my might, but I still felt that there was not enough money. If not for my previous foundation, I would not have been able to develop my influence in Jiangnan.
After some pointers, I feel like the entire place is filled with silver. I just have to wait for people to pick it up."
The smile on King Yue's face deepened: "Uncle Qin, let the people carry out the orders Yun Yao gave us, spread the news as soon as possible, but pay attention to controlling the area, and don't make things too difficult for others, they won't be able to take care of it."
"Yes, this old servant will do it right away. By the way, Your Highness, there are still many pieces of jewelry in the storehouse, they are all from the past ..." "Some of the official's remains cannot be taken out, while the rest can be worn easily. If Your Highness wishes to use them, this old servant will have some people take them out."
Yue Yang nodded his head: "She has worked hard too, she should have given us some gifts."
"Your Highness's words are reasonable." Steward Qin smiled happily and left. While sending people to spread the news, he also went to the warehouse to clean up.
He had specifically asked Yun Chun and the other little girls what kind of models they liked. Since the Prince was going to give Lady Mu a present, he naturally had to think of a way to deliver it to his heart. As a servant, he had put in a lot of effort!
Inside Yangzhou City, the salt merchants thought that they could rest peacefully, but they never thought that a piece of news would be like a thunder that would directly explode right above their heads!
There were rumors that the salt boats on the Xijiang River were carrying sand instead of salt.
The moment this news spread, it quickly attracted the attention of everyone. In particular, the people who had recently suffered from the rise in the price of salt immediately began to spread the news, their voices filled with indignation.
It was not easy for the salt merchant, who had finally settled down after two days, to gather at Chief Hu's mansion once again. He did not even care about his bearing and was already clamoring like a vegetable market.
"Chief Wu, didn't you say that the matter has been resolved? Why is there such a news now? "
"That's right. The governor of the two rivers is already on his way to Yangzhou City. At this time, he spread the news. Isn't he trying to kill us?"
"Quickly think of a way, this is a capital offense!"
Wu Min frowned as she tried to calm the situation, "It's just that we haven't found out about the situation yet. Aren't you all panicking like this in the eyes of the people who want to know more about it?"
"Even though you said that, who knows when the news will come out? Who knows, maybe tomorrow, someone will tear our history apart! "
"Didn't that guy take our money as well? Don't tell me he wants to take only two taels of silver?"
"Yes, there's still the same name. We'll go look for him now!"
"..." "Quiet!" Wu Min Zhi shouted coldly, "We still don't know the details of the matter. Now is not the time for us to have a falling out. The letter I showed you earlier was written by Li Yuan." With this evidence, even if something happened to us, he wouldn't be able to get away with it. Don't jump to conclusions yet.
"We have to get to the bottom of this first."
"Right, Chief Wu's words are reasonable. Everyone, don't be so agitated for now, lest you miss something big."
"Fortunately, there is a letter. Otherwise, we would really be blind."
Wu Min stood up and led the group to the Spring Breeze Garden. Upon seeing that they were all on the same page, the salt merchants couldn't help but become excited again.
"Mr. Qi has caused us so much trouble!"
"If Mr. Qi doesn't have the ability, then don't spread the word. What's going on today?"
They all took a sip of their tea together, "I still have something to ask you? Why did you spread the news? "
"What?" How could we spread the news? This is a heinous crime, are we crazy? "
Everyone put down their tea cups and coldly snorted, "I have obtained the exact information. This time, the rumor spread out from your salt merchant. After that, it spread throughout the whole of Yangzhou City overnight!"
The salt merchants were stunned on the spot and angrily came over to ask for their punishment, but unexpectedly heard this result, "Impossible, this shouldn't be possible ..."
One of them clapped his hands, and immediately a man was brought forward, "Do you know this person?"
"This... Isn't this Zhou Lu? " Everyone looked at the salt merchant Wei Qi. This Zhou Lu was indeed the brother-in-law of the salt merchant Wei Qi. He was extremely proficient in drinking and gambling. Could he have leaked the news?
