"Master Fang is interested!"

Wang Yuan's face was expressionless: "No reward for no merit, it seems we don't know each other!"

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

Judging from the shopkeeper's reaction, this Fang Fodong is not a good person!

"Young Master Wang, you have a big family and a big business, but you didn't take this little person like me to heart!"

A flash of sullenness flashed in his eyes, and Fang Fo said with a smile: "I am a salt merchant in Ping County. I also buy salt from Feicang Salt Well, so I am begging for food under the prince!"

This arrogant boy actually pretends that he has never heard of him. He is so arrogant!

No wonder the imperial court decreed that it would not be subject to scientific examination and would never be used.

Give him three points of face, he really treats himself as a person, and he doesn't know how to behave at all!

"Salt merchant!"

Wang Yuan's face was serious: "My cousin is taking care of everything in the salt industry and I am not involved. If Mr. Fang wants to talk about this, you can go to Jiushan County to find him."

Fang Fodong rubbed his hands: "Young Master Wang, who doesn't know that your cousin is just a guise, and you are the one who really makes the decision. I won't mince words with you anymore. It costs more than 300 yuan to transport salt from Jiushan County to Pingxian County.

Here, the Fang family is losing money every year, please lower the price to give the Fang family a way to survive!"

Wang Yuan chuckled and said: "Since the Fang family is losing money every year, I will write a letter back immediately and ask Feicang Yanjing not to give salt to the Fang family anymore, lest the Fang family will go bankrupt!"

The salt produced in Feicang Salt Well is distributed to the three counties of Jiushan, Longnan and Pingding!

At the beginning, when Wang Yuan took over the salt industry, all the salt merchants in the three counties were honest and no one dared to say anything.

Then the imperial court issued a decree of punishment, and these salt merchants became restless!

During the Chinese New Year, Wang Sihai went back and said that these salt merchants sent people to ask for a reduction in salt prices!

Among them, the salt merchants in Longnan County jumped even more!

Nowadays, the salt produced in Feicang is refined salt after an extra step of filtration.

Afraid of increasing the burden on the people, the salt was wholesaled to these merchants at the rate of twenty-five cents per pound.

Salt in Ping County sells for seventy cents per catty!

Not to mention these salt merchants, after getting the refined salt, they mix it with 20% sand and sell it to the people.

He actually saw the court's popularity and came to force him to lower the price. He was simply greedy!

Fang Fodong's expression changed, and he said with a smile but not a smile: "Master Wang, it seems that you haven't understood clearly yet, what is the change in form now?"

Wang Yuan sneered: "Then I want to hear what form it is now?"

Fang Fodong said: "The imperial court deprived you of the right to conduct scientific examinations because the cabinet was attacking the Wang family behind you. No official in Jiushan County dared to support you. During the war in Jiushan County, you bought the county leader's property and made a fortune.

They have countless money, they will definitely counterattack, you can’t keep the Feicang Salt Well!”

"hehe!"

Wang Yuan sneered.

Wu Ling left and Chaotian issued another decree. The county commander would definitely want to counterattack.

But he believed that the government office in charge of Yan Fuhu, Zheng Fabei, Wu Yuan, Huang Cheng and the border troops who had been promoted to commanders would make the county commander's memory longer!

"Years ago, you destroyed the rebellious green-faced beast in He County. You looked majestic but actually caused a big disaster!"

Fang Fodong seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Do you know that Longnan's military commander and the prefect were demoted because of you? Last time, the Wei military commander withdrew his troops and returned to the county. When I passed by Ping County, I met him. He said that he would meet the prince one day.

You, I will entertain you well. I also heard that the prefect wrote your name in the government office for three days in a row, and then threw away the brazier and burned it after writing it!"

Wang Yuan was startled!

I really didn't expect that taking down the green-faced beast would have such a chain reaction.

However, the reaction of the two of them, Fang Fodong was so clear, is a bit intriguing.

Or it's a piece of cake!

Either...

I originally thought he was here for the salt industry, but it seems this is the real deal!

Play with grass and play with rabbits!

"I know that Prince Wang, you are not a timid person!"

Fang Fodong hummed softly: "But now that you have entered Longnan County, if you want to expand your business to the state capital, you will not be able to bypass Longnan County, and you will not be able to avoid the generals and prefects."

Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Are you sending a message on their behalf to threaten me?"

"Young Master Wang, these words are serious!"

Fang Fodong smiled slightly: "I want to help you resolve the conflicts with the generals and the prefect, so that you can go to the city to do business without any hindrance!"

Wang Yuan smiled half-heartedly: "Then tell me how to resolve our conflicts!"

"It's hard to say it's hard, but it's easy to say it's easy!"

Fang Fodong hummed and said: "Being an official is nothing more than four words: promotion and wealth. Now, prince, you order the generals and the prefects to be demoted. All you need to do is give them a sum of money to reinstate the officials and make up for some energy."

I think the two adults will not care about this matter anymore!"

Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "So you are a lobbyist, how much money do they want!"

"Young Master Wang, you are overthinking this. I am not your lobbyist. I just want to do something for you."

This straightforward approach made Fang Fodong startled. He turned around and said, "Now in the imperial court, it costs 30,000 taels to fill the vacancy of a fourth-grade prefect! It costs 5,000 taels to fill the vacancy of a fifth-grade general."

Silver. Just for the two adults to resume their official duties, it will cost 40,000 taels of silver. With a little compensation, 100,000 taels of silver should be enough!"

Wang Yuan frowned: "One hundred thousand taels!"

Don't look at one hundred thousand taels of silver, it is nothing to him now!

In fact, one hundred thousand taels is a huge fortune.

The annual tax revenue of a county is mostly only two to three thousand taels. The annual tax revenue of a county is mostly just over one hundred thousand taels!

Many tycoons have accumulated two to three hundred thousand taels of silver through clever plunder over generations. There can only be three or four such tycoons in a county at most.

"One hundred thousand taels sounds like a lot, but it's nothing to you, Mr. Wang!"

Fang Fodong chuckled: "You must have made at least several million by bargain hunting in the county and city. And your soap, sugar, and Tang knife business, each of which is not making a fortune every day! You two adults only need a little, but

It’s just a drop in the bucket, just waste money and eliminate disaster!”

"hehe!"
