Let you be a faint king, and you have unified the six kingdoms?

"Queen, what do you think?"

"Concubine...don't dare to talk about yourself."

"It's okay, let's talk."

"It must be that my father wanted to open this official business in order to fill the national treasury." Ke Manan said cautiously.

Seeing her cautious look, Luo Lin looked away.

Hmm... It's impossible for Ke Man'an to speak out her true thoughts. To avoid suspicion, this is not good in ancient society.

"What about you? Little Lizi."

At this time, Xiao Lizi's energy and spirit were different.

But Luo Lin didn't care about such small details.

"My little one thinks... Ke Shoufu's actions are inappropriate." Xiao Lizi said.

As soon as this remark came out, Kemanan couldn't help but stare at him immediately.

Xiao Lizi pretended not to see it.

He has been thinking a lot these days.

His Majesty established the East Factory to let him manage the safety and many matters in the palace.

In order to repay Jun En, the best way is to do what you should do and determine your own position.

There are some things he can do, but he can't.

Now the power of Dongchang is slowly rising.

But Xiao Lizi kept reminding himself - he must not get involved in the harem.

He belongs only to the emperor!Only belong to the emperor's dog!

Therefore, even if Ke Manan is favored, he has to turn a blind eye and say what he says!

…………

"Oh? What's wrong? Tell me." Luo Lin raised his eyebrows and asked.

Sure enough, the cronies around him were more daring to speak.

Now Luo Lin subconsciously thinks that Ke Wu is a powerful minister, and has been corrupted countless times, so he naturally thinks of this matter as a bad thing.

"The salt used by Ke Shoufu for official business is the refined salt of the palace. If this flow out, the current monopoly of the salt merchants will be blocked. It will cause turmoil, which is not conducive to peace." Xiao Lizi said some nonsense.

He didn't really feel that this was inappropriate, but that as the "Dongchangchanggong", he had to create the phenomenon that he was only loyal to the emperor.

So he's going to raise an objection, and then say some irrelevant reasons.

Subsequent decisions are made by the emperor.

Xiao Lizi is practicing martial arts now, and his mind is much clearer. At this time, he bowed and said, not daring to show any disrespect.

And heard what Xiao Lizi said.

Rollins chuckled.

Unrest?

Indeed, technological innovations can disrupt monopolies.

"Turbulence and peace, haha, then you are thinking too much." Luo Lin smiled casually.

"Your Majesty is wise! This servant is stupid!" Xiao Lizi knelt down and saluted at the right time.

"Well, get up." Luo Lin said indifferently, "Manan, come on, I say you write—"

…………

The cabinet soon received the return note.

A large group of cabinet ministers looked around.

"Provide refined salt production method to Ke Shoufu's favorite private business? Ah, this..."

The cabinet ministers froze for a while.

Zhang Qian bowed deeply: "Master Ke, being favored by His Majesty is really the envy of others."

The rest of the people also reacted and thanked one after another.

What His Majesty means is that the law-making can be given to private businessmen...but this private businessman must belong to Ke Wu!

"Ahaha, everyone, don't talk about these things. The old man is going to drift away." Ke Wu laughed, and then looked serious, "Come on, let's study and study. Why did the emperor do this? Why didn't he set up an official business?"

Soon, Zhang Qian spoke again: "I thought it was because we were in a hurry. Your Majesty means that if we do it with private business, we don't need to intervene in the struggle for the share of private business, and we don't need to forcefully bite a piece of meat."

The flow of new commodities into the market will inevitably cause market fluctuations.

Moreover, this refined salt production method is a blow to dimensionality reduction. Basically, once it is launched, other salt merchants will not have to do it, and all market shares will be eaten up.

"Oh...so that's the case." The cabinet minister Tan Feiqi suddenly realized.

This person used to be Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Before Luo Lin ascended the throne, he was on the same front as Ke Wu, and he was already in the cabinet.

At this time, he talked eloquently: "I understand. Your Majesty is young. Although there is a deep gap in his chest, he is trying to rule the world, but he is not in a hurry. This is one point. The establishment of official merchants to sell salt is too shocking to the market, and those salt merchants may be anxious to jump over the wall. Your Majesty does not want to That’s why it’s done.”

"Then comes the second point." Tan Feiqi said again, "It is very complicated to start an official business. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources. But in fact..."

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the cabinet ministers also understood.

Ke Wu shook his head and sighed: "Oh, the money for the previous innovations has been almost spent. Now I'm waiting for His Majesty's order to raid the house to refill the treasury."

"That's right." Tan Feiqi said, "The money is not enough. Therefore, for the second point, it is better to directly provide the method, and then let the private business operate, while we sit and take the money!"

"That's right!" Ke Wu slapped his thigh, "This method of making salt cannot be given away by His Majesty for no reason, it must require money. But it can't be a one-off."

"That's right, talk about cooperation!" Tan Feiqi said, "Every month, how much of the fine salt produced by this salt-making method is sold, [-]% will be owned by the treasury!"

"Then, the guards stationed in Jinyi follow up at all times! If you dare to commit corruption, you just have a reason to raid the house!" Ke Wu's eyes lit up.

"Ke Shoufu, the house has been ransacked."

"Well... that's right, depending on the circumstances of the investigation, you can be fined. The fine is heavier. The fine is painful."

"Yes! Come on, come on, let's sum it up and start this innovation right away!"

Everyone in the cabinet started talking again...

Chapter 11 New Salt Sweeps the Imperial Capital

"Ding! Make a fool of the emperor [favoring the powerful officials]! Deduct 1000 points of national luck!"

"Rewarded: All members of the cabinet have health +10 and lifespan +1!"

The next day.

Looking at the memorial in front of him, Luo Lin smiled.

Sure enough, Ke Wu started.

Hehe, he has given so much power, why not just give Ke Wu a lot of money?

Luo Lin's meaning is obvious, that is to let Ke Wu engage in private business, and then profit from it.

What is an official business?Let the treasury have new revenue?

Don't want anything that will increase the luck of the country!

"Father has earned His Majesty's trust. The concubine thanked His Majesty for his father's kindness..." Ke Manan gave a graceful salute, and Luo Lin was furious with that figure.

"The queen doesn't have to be like this, everything should be done." Luo Lin pulled the beauty into his arms.

Another day of stupid life begins.

Hahaha!There are batch after batch of traversers, and there are probably not many who can have such fun with him!

at this time.

Rolling his eyes, Luo Lin saw Xiao Li who was serving at the side.

"Well, by the way, little Lizi, how is Dongchang?" Luo Lin asked.

"Return to Your Majesty. The servants are already recruiting manpower, and they have already put in training at this time."

"Remember. Dongchang's duty is to guard the palace and control everything in the palace. I don't want to be assassinated and killed in the palace."

Although Luo Lin has martial arts in his body now, but still the same sentence, why should he fight and kill when he can live comfortably?

Right.

"Your Majesty is serious! This servant will definitely not let such a thing happen! Unless the assassin steps over the corpse of this servant!"

And hearing Luo Lin's words, Xiao Lizi knelt down with a snap, and said in a cold sweat.

"Okay, get up." Luo Lin smiled, "I believe in you."

"...Thank you, Your Majesty!"

…………

Zhang Qing, the son of the current head of the salt merchant Zhang family, sat on the first and auxiliary mansion.

"I don't know Your Excellency Shoufu, why are you looking for Xiaosheng?" Zhang Qing said with a smile.

"Haha." Ke Shoufu chuckled, "You came to the imperial capital to search for the palace salt."

"Ah." Zhang Qing was taken aback, then smiled wryly, "I really can't hide anything from the chief minister of the court. To be honest, my father is very interested in this new salt."

"Have you tasted it?"

"Um... not yet. I happened to be visiting the imperial capital, but I got a letter from my father, asking me to investigate."

"Come on, give it a try."

At this time, the servant brought a stack of side dishes.

The two chatted and tasted a few mouthfuls.

Zhang Qing's expression froze, he was astonished.

Afterwards, Ke Wu brought another portion of refined salt.

"This, is this salt? It's so white!" Zhang Qing looked around.

At this moment, he realized the great value of this salt!

"Ke Shoufu, if you have anything to say, just say it. Your lord's actions are not just for me, an unknown villain, to taste the salt, right?"

"Smart." Ke Wu took a sip of tea with a smile and said his own conditions, "This formula can be given to you. However, the money sold will be divided into [-]-[-]. And every month, there will be Jinyiwei and Officials from the Ministry of the Interior are going to check the accounts. How about it?"

"...Well... I have to report this matter to my father." Zhang Qing said, and then asked tentatively, "Then... other salt merchants..."

"No contact yet!"

"Okay! Within seven days, there must be a reply!"

Without saying a word, Zhang Qing left immediately.

Ke Wu looked at his back, and smiled cheerfully: "It went well. Hmm... I also hope that Jin Yiwei's information is good."

News came from Jin Yiwei that among the salt merchants, this one is the best.

Considering that Jinyiwei belongs to the emperor.

After thinking about it, Ke Wu personally checked the information of various salt merchants, and finally chose this salt merchant.

In the imperial capital at this time, the top salt merchants are all there! !

Its agent tried various methods to explore the secret of refined salt!

…………

Four days later.
