Prince Peacock nodded again and again, "Of course not. Qu Yuanli's precious prince naturally knows that this is not something that can be measured by money at all. You can't ask for it!"

Ying Lan's eyes fell on Prince Peacock, "Since this is the case, you are only willing to pay 600 million taels. Isn't that too dishonest?"

"Although the money you paid is precious, but I risk losing my head, isn't it more valuable than your money?"

Sensing Ying Lan's slightly displeased expression, the Peacock Prince laughed again and again, "What are you talking about, my lord? Naturally, I can see your sincerity, so I naturally want to pay more."

"But the current situation is really not optimistic. It's not that I don't want to part with it, but that I really have no money."

The Peacock Prince showed embarrassment inside.

Seeing this, Yinglan said quietly, "In that case, the buy price is 800 million taels!"

After the words fell, Prince Peacock's complexion changed slightly, looking very embarrassed.

It's not that he thinks the price is too expensive, but that he really can't afford so much money.

Seeing that the Peacock Prince hesitated, Ying Lan continued to add: "This is a big advantage for you, if you hadn't spent a lot of money to buy this sweet potato, I would never have sold it to you at such a cheap price! "

Hearing that the Peacock Prince turned his head slightly to look at the Peacock National Teacher, as if asking whether the National Teacher agrees.

Knowing that the amount was huge, Master Peacock gritted his teeth and nodded slightly to agree to the matter.

Then Peacock Prince's eyes became firmer, "Okay! Deal!"

Chapter 164 It is indeed a misnomer to say that the salt is of poor quality

After confirming with Yinglan about this treasure, the Peacock Prince and the Peacock National Teacher returned to their residence satisfied.

"Okay! This time I didn't come in vain, and my father will be very happy to be able to bring such a treasure back!"

Peacock Prince muttered as he stuffed a piece of pork into his mouth, looking in a good mood.

The Peacock Imperial Master has no appetite, and his eyes fell on the Peacock Prince. "It is indeed a good thing, but it is a bit expensive. The old minister's savings are almost exhausted."

Prince Peacock smiled faintly, "National teacher, don't worry, after I bring this treasure back to promote it, the emperor will definitely reward this prince heavily! Money is not a problem."

"When the time comes, not only will your savings be returned in full, but the beauties that this prince promised you will not forget, you are sure to make a profit!"

Hearing this, the national teacher's eyebrows relaxed, "The old minister is not someone who values ​​things outside of himself so much, the prince can do as he sees."

Then Prince Peacock seemed to think of something, and his eyes could not help but change slightly, "Maybe there is no need to go back, the money from the national teacher can solve it."

Hearing this, the national teacher's eyes also changed slightly, "The prince means to use salt?"

Peacock Prince nodded slightly, "That's right, we have cut off Daqin's salt for a long time, and the whole Daqin must be in chaos now, just waiting for our salt to come to the rescue!"

"If the time comes as we expected, then no matter what price we offer, the Great Qin Emperor will have to obey obediently, right?"

Hearing this, Master Peacock also nodded slightly, his gaze was even colder, "Salt is the foundation of the country, any emperor must bow his head in front of Yan."

······

Xianyang.

In the Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng sat upright, staring down with no expression on his face, making it impossible to see any emotion.

And below, all the officials stood still, as if they were waiting for something.

"Let them in!"

Following the sound of Ying Zheng's voice, the eunuch at the side stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The envoy of the Maurya Dynasty has an audience!"

As soon as the voice fell, two figures appeared at the door, and then walked slowly into the hall.

The officials looked up slightly, and saw a fat young man and an old man walking in, they were the Peacock Prince and the Peacock National Teacher.

Knowing that this is in Daqin's territory, and also knowing the identity of their envoys, the two of them are not arrogant, but bow respectfully.

"See Your Majesty!"

"See Your Majesty!"

On the top, Ying Lan just waved his hand, "There is no need to be too polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the words fell, the two dared to stand up.

Immediately, Ying Zheng's eyes fell on the two of them, "It's hard work for you two to come from a long distance, I wonder how you communicate with Lan'er?"

Hearing this, Prince Peacock couldn't help but smile, "Very good! Young master showed us many interesting and powerful things. It's my honor to see those!"

Master Peacock also nodded again and again, "I really don't know the power of Daqin until I see it with my own eyes! It is indeed our honor!"

But Ying Zheng above was taken aback.

What did this kid show these two guys?

Why do you have the expression of seeing a beautiful woman?

But Yingzheng's expression did not change, he just nodded slightly, "This trip has been hard, as long as you two like it, it's a worthwhile trip."

Then Peacock Guoshi said directly, "Thanks to the young master, we can see it so well. In return, the villain also prepared some gifts for Daqin."

Ying Zheng's face remained indifferent, "A gift?"

If it was said that these two people came from afar just to give gifts to Da Qin and had no other intentions, then Ying Zheng naturally didn't believe it.

National Teacher Peacock smiled faintly, and then looked outside, "If His Majesty allows, that villain will be carried up."

Ying Zheng waved his hand lightly, "Yun!"

After the words fell, the Peacock National Master ordered to the outside, "Bring it up!"

After the words were finished, several servants came up with two baskets, and then put down the baskets.

And Baiguan looked at the basket with a little curiosity, but because it was covered by the lid, they didn't know what was inside.

"Open."

Immediately after Peacock Guoshi gave an order, the servant took off the cover.

Baiguan looked down, only to realize that it contained nothing but salt.

Then the Peacock State Teacher looked at Ying Zheng with a slightly smug expression, "This is a little meeting ceremony prepared by the Peacock Dynasty, and I hope your majesty will not dislike it."

Seeing that it was salt, Baiguan's eyes lit up immediately, and his face was filled with unstoppable excitement.

After all, the problem of salt within Daqin has not been properly resolved. If the salt of the Maurya Dynasty can be used, it will solve the urgent need.

However, among the ministers, only Wang Jian, Li Si, and Zhao Gao were indifferent, as if they had no interest in the salt.

This is not surprising, after all, the three of them knew the inside story.

Sensing the changes in the eyes of the officials around him, Prince Peacock was sure that Daqin was indeed short of salt, otherwise the officials would not have such an obvious change in expression.

Then he handed it over, "Compared to the previous ones, this salt is much refined. It uses our latest refining method. Your Majesty, if you like it, I will send some more."

And above, Ying Zheng's eyes were slightly cold.

snort!

Not providing salt caused Daqin to fall into chaos, but now he comes here with good salt. Is this trying to kill Daqin severely?

Are you also worthy of playing with widows? !

Although he was displeased, Ying Zheng didn't show it at all, and his gaze remained flat, "Since it's a gift from a guest, I'm naturally happy and will give it a try!"

After the words fell, Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhao Gao naturally understood Ying Zheng very well, and when he noticed that gaze, he quickly understood Ying Zheng's intentions.

Immediately, Zhao Gao stood up directly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, although this is the wish of the Maurya Dynasty, I think it's better to go back."

And below, Prince Peacock and Master Peacock's complexion changed slightly, they did not expect a courtier to say such a thing.

After all, for Daqin now, this salt should be something that can save lives.

Immediately, Master Peacock looked at Zhao Gao sharply, "Why do you say that?"

Facing that gaze, Zhao Gao was not afraid at all, and stared back with cold eyes, "You let His Majesty try such a vulgar salt, if it makes His Majesty uncomfortable, can you take the responsibility?"

And the Peacock Prince stood up with cold eyes, "Our salt is vulgar? Does this mean that you don't want the salt from our Peacock Dynasty?"

Down below, the expressions of all the officials changed when they heard the words.

From their point of view, if the Maurya Dynasty doesn't give salt now, then Daqin will have big problems.

However, Zhao Gao was not afraid at all, and sneered, "Such inferior salt, even if you give it to me, you don't want it!"

Peacock Prince didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Gao, but looked at Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty also thinks the same?"

The courtiers may not understand, but he doesn't think that Yingzheng will be guilty and ignore Daqin.

On the other hand, Yingzheng also said lightly, "It's really a bit of a misnomer to say that the salt is of poor quality."

Hearing that Prince Peacock was a little proud, he looked at Zhao Gao arrogantly.

Then Ying Zheng said lightly, "If you look at it, this salt is really rotten."

After the words fell, the faces of the Peacock Prince and the Peacock National Teacher froze.

Chapter 165 Your Majesty is Wise

Hearing that the Peacock Prince's eyes were slightly cold, "It's rotten? Are you sure, Your Majesty?"

He is still very confident now, he is holding Daqin on his side, if he doesn't give salt, Daqin's side will definitely be in chaos.

And at such a juncture, Ying Zheng made such wild remarks, which gave Prince Da Qin an excuse not to give salt.

And the Peacock National Teacher on the side also said lightly, "Your Majesty doesn't want the salt of our Peacock Dynasty?"

The peacock national teacher's eyes fell on Ying Zheng, as if he was in control of him.

Hearing this, Wang Jian couldn't stay still anymore, and stared at the Great Qin Imperial Master with a slightly cold gaze, "It's not that our Great Qin has no salt, what do we need your salt for?!"

Master Peacock looked at Wang Jian with a cold gaze, and his expression was even slightly weird, "Really? How did this old man hear that because of the salt incident, the people in Daqin are suffering unspeakably now?"

Above, Ying Zheng also said lightly, "That's because our salt hasn't started to be promoted, it's just a temporary situation, and now it's almost ready, and it will be eased soon."

Hearing that, Prince Peacock's gaze also changed slightly, "What does your majesty mean, Daqin himself has salt?"

Ying Zheng's face was indifferent, "The Great Qin is a big country, if it can't even make salt, what kind of big country is it?"

After the words fell, the Peacock Prince didn't believe it, and looked at Ying Zheng with doubts in his eyes, "Is this true? Your Majesty, please don't abandon Da Qin just for the sake of instant success!"

And the Peacock National Teacher on the side also echoed repeatedly, "Yes, Your Majesty! This salt is the foundation of the country. You can't make fun of it. Your Majesty must think carefully about it."

Peacock National Teacher's eyes fell on Ying Zheng with some deep meaning.

The two of them naturally didn't believe Ying Zheng's words.

They also know how much salt Daqin can produce every year, otherwise they wouldn't have to buy salt from the Maurya Dynasty every year.

But now that Ying Zheng actually said that he had salt on his side, such remarks naturally made them feel shameless.

And hearing this, not to mention the two from the Peacock Dynasty, even the officials below who didn't know about it couldn't stay still.

Immediately, an official stood up, "Think twice, Your Majesty! The matter of salt is very urgent now, but it must not be sloppy!"

Another official followed closely, "Yes, Your Majesty! Now many people are starting to panic. The situation inside Daqin is not optimistic. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

All of a sudden, all the officials below bowed their hands together.

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, the corners of Peacock Prince's mouth twitched slightly, and he could guess how serious the situation in Daqin was just by looking at the reactions of these officials.

However, Ying Zheng on the dragon chair still didn't change his expression, he just said lightly, "Bring the new salt from Daqin!"

As soon as the words fell, two eunuchs soon brought up a basket of things and put them in the center of the court hall.

All the officials looked at the basket with a little curiosity.

Then an eunuch took off the lid, and the officials could see clearly what was in the basket, white flowers, as fine as sand.

Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Peacock State Teacher and Peacock Prince, "What do you think of this salt?"
