Chapter 144 Changes in Luoyang
After leaving Jinan Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang followed the river to find Zhao Chengchu, who had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang appear, Zhao Chengchu had a subtle expression on his face and said in a teasing tone: "Brother, you are quite charming!"
"Go, go, I'll tell you, no one is allowed to say anything at this time!"
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and said in a low voice: "Especially your sister-in-law!"
"Understand!"
"You know nothing, hurry up and get on your way!"
Zhu Yuanzhang led the people onto the boat and disappeared along the river.
Luoyang
The people looked anxious as they saw several salt stores put up "sold out" signs.
Not long ago, a businessman appeared out of nowhere to collect salt at a price that was 30% higher than the market price.
Seeing this, the people took out the salt from their homes one after another.
Soon there were several salt brands on the market. At first, people still had plenty of salt, and the prices were reasonable.
When the dealers who were collecting salt raised the price by 50% and were unable to get the salt, several salt shops raised their prices one after another, and the price of salt quadrupled in a short time.
The supply is still in short supply. Those who have salt want more, and those who don't have it are even more anxious.
In this way, the amount of salt on the market increased from one tael of silver per one hundred catties of salt to four taels of silver per one hundred catties of salt.
Wang Er silently listened to his subordinates' report and then ordered to his subordinates: "Take it, we will eat as much as they throw out."
"Master, we don't have so much silver!" the subordinate replied.
"I'll figure it out with the money, all you need to do is take back the salt!"
"Have you found out which ticket company competed with us for the salt industry last time?"
"My boss, there is no news yet!"
"Keep an eye on me, he won't give up this time!"
"yes!"
Outside a splendid palace, a four-clawed golden dragon with gilt patterns hangs directly above the palace, with three elegant and unrestrained Chinese characters on it.
"Prince Tang's Mansion!"
At first glance, it looks like it was made by everyone.
There were two people standing outside the palace, one of them was handsome and had shrewdness written all over his face.
The man had a fierce face, and the ferocious scar on his forehead made him even more terrifying.
The two were Shopkeeper Liu and King Gao Yan respectively. They were two sworn enemies who wished each other would die early, but today they stood obediently outside the palace together.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a mustache came out from the side door.
"You two, the prince has been waiting for you for a long time!"
"I've met the housekeeper. I haven't seen you for a long time, and you look better and better!" Shopkeeper Liu was the first to praise.
Then he took out a few banknotes from his sleeve and put them into the butler's hand.
"This is my special tribute to you. Without you, how would I be today? Sir, please don't refuse!"
"Shopkeeper Liu always sees people like this, don't allow it next time!" The butler skillfully stuffed it into a secret purse around his waist.
The reason why Gao Yanwang was called the King of Hell was because he was ruthless, but now when he saw the housekeeper, he forced a smile.
Seems ridiculous.
King Gao Yan took out two shiny gold bars and said: "I recently received two gold bars from others, but with my eyes, I can't tell the difference between the real ones and the fake ones. Can you please take a look at them, housekeeper?"
"Take a look?" The butler's eyes lit up as he looked at today.
"Then I'll take a good look!"
The butler touched it again and again, and finally took a bite. Looking at the teeth marks on it, the butler nodded and said, "It's true!"
King Gaoyan said with a smile on his face: "It seems that small people have no fate with it. Only adults can tell the truth from falsehood. This thing is destined to adults. This is God's will. God's will is hard to violate. Why don't you accept it!"
"Since God's will is inevitable, I will accept it shamelessly!"
The butler led the way and said: "Your Majesty asked you to come this time just because you did a good job in this matter. He asked you to come to the house to have a drink and talk about old times."
"My subordinates are terrified!"
The three of them entered the palace as they spoke.
