News that the imperial court wants to recruit imperial merchants.After posting a piece of cloth in front of the gate of Xianyang City, Zhao Gao did not see Li Jiang doing anything else.

Instead, she took the palace servants to clean the palace that Ying Zheng assigned her.

When the court went to court the next day, all the ministers stood up to oppose it.

But Ying Zheng was determined to protect Li Jiang. No matter what anyone said, Ying Zheng remained unmoved.

The future that Li Jiang described to him was really too good.

With this money, the army can replace it with new weapons and go to war, and the number of casualties will be greatly reduced.

With money and food, we can feed the people.

So that all the people in the world have food and clothing.

The ministers saw that Ying Zheng was determined, and they had no choice but to secretly hate the traitor and harm the country.

After getting off Chaoli Jiang, he began to allocate personnel and arrange work in batches and steps.

Even fearing that this method of purifying salt would be too simple and spread, Li Jiang had people take a bunch of herbs to hide it from others.

She was responsible for pouring the salt into water to dissolve it, and the palace servants responsible for transporting the salt water in the earthen jars were transported to the next location.

The person at the next location is responsible for filtering, using multiple layers of linen to filter the crude brine little by little.

Then another group of people will be sent to the next location.This low-key person is responsible for boiling all the water in the earthen pot over low heat.

The last group of people are responsible for scraping the salt and putting it in earthen jars.

The palace people in each link are independent links. Each group of people does not know what their previous step is?

What to do next.

Li Jiang doesn't go out either. Apart from going to court every day, he makes refined salt.

Zhao Gao saw that Li Jiang had not made any move for several days, so he secretly went to Ying Zheng to complain.

"Your Majesty, this plaque is ready. When will Minister Li start making money?"

Zhao Gao said worriedly: "The price set by Li Shilang is a bit high. I heard that she requires merchants to pay an entry fee of 100 gold per person to be eligible to run for the imperial merchant."

Ying Zheng raised his head, a little surprised: "How much did you say?"

Zhao Gao frowned and said: "Your Majesty, you heard it right, and I said it right, it is indeed a hundred gold."

Ying Zheng was silent. Is Li Jiang too brave to ask for it?

"Your Majesty...this matter..."

Is Zhao Gao really worried?He doesn't!

He wished that Li Jiang would fall miserably and let the king see how unreliable Li Jiang was.

Ying Zhengben also thought it was ridiculous, but Li Jiang took so long.Did you miss it?

Even if he misses this time, that's fine, it will give Li Jiang a long memory.

Lest Li Jiang be too proud of his talent.

Li Jiang doesn't know what Zhao Gao and Ying Zheng think. She is supervising every procedure and striving for the quality of refined salt.

It wasn't until Fusu couldn't help but come to Li Jiang that Li Jiang realized that everyone in the Qin Palace was not in a hurry.

"Mr. Li."

Fusu saluted Li Jiang and looked at the salt shaker in a room.

Somewhat puzzled: "It's been many days now. I went to the blacksmith shop a few days ago, and many people have arrived in Xianyang City one after another."

"If it weren't for the notice posted in front of Xianyang City, I'm afraid they would have left long ago."

Li Jiang nodded: "Well, don't worry, they won't leave."

How could Fusu not be anxious? He was afraid that something would happen to Li Jiang this time, and he was also afraid that Li Jiang would end up like Shang Yang...

"Mr. Li, why don't you... why don't you leave the palace and meet these businessmen? If you leave..."

Fusu was still worried. He had already persuaded many people to leave because of the threshold of one hundred gold. If these people still couldn't stay.

Mr. Li failed this time...

"Don't worry, they are begging us to choose them as imperial merchants now, not us begging them."

"Let the bullets fly for a while, and always give some time to those businessmen in the distance."

The greater the number of people, the greater the competition, and the greater the involution for opportunities.

Li Jiang waited for half a month before taking Zhao Gao out of Xianyang Palace.

To be honest, Zhao Gao thought that Li Jiang would not come to Taiwan and was ready to give up the idea.

Unexpectedly, Li Jiang brought him out this time just to choose an address.

I chose the most expensive restaurant in Xianyang City and planned to book it for the whole day in two days...

After negotiating the price, Li Jiang looked at Zhao Gao and winked at Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao: What do you mean?

Li Jiang: "Give me money, pay for it."

Zhao Gao was shocked and looked in disbelief. He quickly pulled Li Jiang aside.

"Shilang Li, I don't have a single coin with me. You make money, but you don't put a penny in my pocket. How can you use me to get money?"

"But I have no money."

Li Jiang answered matter-of-factly: "I'll give it to you when I get back. This is to do things for the king and make money for the king."

"Can I give you this little money? Or can the king give you this little money?"

Li Jiang is good at tempting.

"If the eldest son had not been in trouble today, I would have brought him out."

"Master Zhao, you and I are officials in the same dynasty. Since the king asked you to follow me, he must want you to follow and earn some credit."

"If you don't want this credit...then go back to the palace and ask the eldest son to come instead?"

Li Jiang watched Zhao Gao's expression change back and forth, but he refused to pay.

Finally he sighed: "Forget it, let me go back. I told the king that the eldest son will come instead."

After saying that, Li Jiang was about to go out.

How could Zhao Gao just watch Li Jiang return to the palace and complain to Ying Zheng.

He could even imagine what Li Jiang would say to the king.

"I'll give it! I'll give it the money!"

Zhao Gao grabbed Li Jiang and gritted his teeth and said, "There is no need to trouble the eldest son to run away, and there is no need to trouble Li Shilang to enter the palace again."

[Hey, wouldn’t you say you didn’t bring any money? 】

[Xiao Gao, Xiao Gao, are you playing tricks on me here? 】

"But didn't Master Zhao say he didn't bring any money?"

Li Jiang pretended to be surprised.

"I brought it. I just remembered that I brought a bag of money."

Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and walked to the shopkeeper. Every step he took was as difficult as going to death.

After setting the date and paying the money, Li Jiang took out the red cloth he brought from the palace.

It says that representatives of the royal merchants from each county will be selected here in the future.

When everything was ready, Li Jiangcai and Zhao Gao returned to the palace.

Zhao Gao was a little surprised when he saw Li Jiang going straight to the main hall of Dayang Palace.

I was surprised that this time Li Jiang was going to go to the king to express his merits to him?

"Your Majesty. In two days, the ministers can earn the first pot of gold for Your Majesty."

Li Jiang looked at Ying Zheng and began to report on his work.

In the end, he also showed his merit to Zhao Gao.

"Your Majesty, it must be Mr. Zhao who serves the country and the people. He knows that I have no money in my hand and yet takes the initiative to pay for it."

"I said that the king will definitely return the money to him when he comes back, and will not let Mr. Zhao spend it."

"But my lord, guess what?"

Li Jiang looked at Zhao Gao with admiration: "Master Zhao actually reprimanded me for being too utilitarian and focusing too much on external things."

"Sure enough, he regards money as dirt and power as nothing. Mr. Zhao is devoted to the country, which makes me moved."

Ying Zheng: Why are these words so familiar?

Zhao Gao: Ma De, Li Jiang harmed me again!When did I say I didn’t want money?

When did I say that I treat money like dirt?

What bastard said this!Why are you so angry?
