Fan Li smiled and said, "It's very simple. You only need to limit the goods that the Han Kingdom does not have but cannot be lacking, so that the Han Kingdom can be defeated without conquering!"

"Is there such goods? Food? Now the country of Yue does not supply enough grains themselves, and it is even more impossible to supply the country. If this restriction is useful, the country of Han, which has been restricted for five or six months, would have collapsed long ago. Cloth? This is probably useless. It is said that Yang Zilu had someone to plant ramie as early as last year and could collect it in August this year. It is now July, and it is useless if the restriction is limited. Besides, in the past, Shanyue people did not lack cloth, and nothing happened!" Gou Jian frowned and thought while touching his beard. But the answers he proposed were rejected by himself.

Wenzhong and they couldn't figure it out, what the Han Dynasty must have but they didn't have.

Goujian simply asked Fan Li, who had been smiling, "Doctor Fan, just say it! Don't keep it a secret!"

Wen Zhong also looked at Fan Li and said, "Fan Li, just tell me the answer directly, so that we won't be thinking about it here!"

"It's very simple!" Fan Li dipped his fingers on the porcelain bowl and wrote a word on the mahogany floor.

Goujian, Wenzhong and other monarchs and ministers widened their eyes, looked at the word written by Fan Li, and then burst into laughter. Goujian laughed while saying, "Ha! Ha! Ha! Wonderful! Wonderful! So wonderful!"

"I am not as good as Fan Li!" After Ku Cheng read the word Fan Li wrote, he was willing to admit that he was not as good as Fan Li.

"Fan Li's plan can be said to have reached the highest level in his grandson's mouth, and he will defeat others without fighting! Let Yang Zilu taste the 'wonderfulness' in his master's mouth." Wen Zhong stroked his long beard and said with a smile. The more he read Fan Li wrote the word, the more he felt happy and the happier he smiled.

What kind of words did Fan Li write that made the emperor and ministers, who were so worried about the Han Dynasty, feel so happy that their hair was almost white? In fact, it was just one word - salt!

As we all know, salt is one of the foods that people must eat. If there is no salt, people will have many problems. The most direct one is weakness in limbs, loss of appetite, dizziness, and in severe cases, limb spasms, anorexia, vomiting, heart rate acceleration and other problems. It will also cause many other diseases. Even if it does not cause other diseases, just one limb weakness is enough for a country to collapse.

Even a fully modern army would probably be defeated by a barbarian in the Stone Age without salt supplements for a long time. Because they had no strength to pull the trigger, it was useless to hold modern rifles, not to mention that the Han Dynasty was still in the age of cold weapons, and this strike was fatal.

After laughing, Fan Li reminded Goujian: "The Lord should not be too careless about this matter. Beware of the Han barbarians coming out of the mountain to plunder. However, the Han barbarians who left the mountain may be able to fight ten or two or three, mainly not too disparity in combat. The Han barbarians are not the opponent of the warriors of Yue Kingdom!"

Goujian smiled and said, "This is natural! But the Han barbarians can defeat the warriors of Yue with the help of geographical advantage and sharp weapons. On the plains, I must ask the Han barbarians to know the power of the soldiers and vehicles to destroy them! The Yue army is not so easy to deal with!"

Fan Li also said deeply: "If the mountains were not rugged and the soldiers could not be allowed to run, then when the Han barbarians showed their might!"

Next, the five monarchs and ministers discussed how to block salt for a long time. Moreover, they not only blocked the Han Dynasty, but also Gumi. Gumi was located inland like the Han Dynasty. It was easy to block salt. In this era, even the fields belonged to the monarch, and the seeds were provided by the state. If you want to buy fields, it is not necessary, but you have to buy a lot of fields at one time, and it is purchased from the nobles, which is not okay. Otherwise, even if you have a wealthy family and cannot meet the nobles, how do they know that you want to buy a large amount of fields?

Not to mention sea salt, the Yue Kingdom sea salt is boiled into natural state-owned, which is very easy to control. The Yue Kingdom can supply it in limited quantities, even if some people want to smuggle it, it will be difficult for the Wu Kingdom to increase the tariff on sea salt entering Yue Kingdom, and increase it to a tariff of 100 yuan per kilogram of sea salt. Those merchants are smart people, and they are willing to do this loss-making business. This cuts off the sea salt trade routes between Gumi and Han Kingdom.

Once the Yue Kingdom blocked, the price of sea salt in the Han Kingdom was applied to an idiom, which was called immediate results. The price of sea salt soared from two cents and one liang to ten cents and one liang of sea salt, and the momentum continued to rise.

Goujian was not stupid either. He was afraid that Yang Zilu would attack, so he took the lead in deploying 800 troops to guard the Yue Kingdom in Zhuji City. I am afraid that Yang Zilu would not be able to conquer Zhuji City if she wanted to attack. And the Gumi Country, which was even more fragile in the Han Dynasty, was even more unbearable. The price of one or two sea salt in China increased to fifteen cents, and there was a local situation where there was no market.

…Jiukui City…

"Despicable!" Yang Zilu punched her with a fist on the armrest of the wooden chair made of golden nanmu.

Yu Miao, who was promoted to the doctor by Yang Zilu because of his excellent business transactions, smiled bitterly: "Master, although Goujian is despicable, I have to say that he still hits the key point of our Han Dynasty!"

At this time, Ou Pijiang, who was also promoted to the lower doctor by Yang Zilu, walked into the hall, his face as ugly as if a layer of black and gray was painted.

Seeing this, Yang Zilu felt nervous and asked, "How is it?"

Ou Pijiang took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Master, I'm afraid it's not easy to pass this time. Ou Pijiang just got the news that the Yue Kingdom not only blocked the sea salt transactions on the border between Han and Vietnam. On the border between Wu and Yue, the tariff on sea salt was raised to one hundred pounds of sea salt. Moreover, if this sea salt entered Yue Kingdom, it is still a matter of whether it could be smuggled to the Han Kingdom!"

"Master, let me lead the army! Let the slave of Wu Kingdom know that our Han Kingdom is not easy to bully!" The black bear opened its chin and beard, as if a furious lion was yelling.

Kan Pingtian, who had just returned from Wu, was quite helpless. Fan Li's plan really grabbed the seven inches of the Han Dynasty. Even if Kan Pingtian was born again, he could not turn into sea salt out of thin air!

"My daddy! He Goujian doesn't give me sea salt! Then I will get it by myself in Han Dynasty!" Yang Zilu said gritting her teeth.

Kan Pingtian was shocked when he heard this and said in a lost voice: "Master, no! Now our Han Kingdom is not the enemy of Yue Kingdom! With the advantage of the mountains and rivers of Han Kingdom, it can still be compared, and I am on the plain! I am afraid it is exactly what Goujian wants!"

Hearing this, the black bear immediately glared at Kan Pingtian and said dissatisfiedly: "Then you are stupid enough to die?"

Yang Zilu shook her head and said confidently: "I'm not that stupid yet! Apart from Yue Kingdom, is there no sea salt in other places?"

ps: The fifth update is here! The remaining two updates may not be coded until seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
