Ancient promotion routine

Zhou Qin was in a bad mood, but Zhang Yanjin was in a good mood. From the riots in Danyang Village to the rumors caused by mining, these people wanted to put him to death. If he didn't resist, he would be killed by them sooner or later.

Furthermore, he was not the kind of weak person who would be bullied.

In interest disputes, no one can be kind to the opponent, so he will never think that an old fox like Zhou Qin will show mercy and let him go.

Instead of this, it's better to use your ability to show that you are not a person who can be manipulated by others!

"How could there be a salt mine under Pingdingshan?" Li Ying still didn't believe it.It's not that he doesn't believe it, anyone who hears Zhang Yanjin's plan to dig a salt mine under Pingding Mountain will probably think it's his whimsy, right?

Zhang Yanjin thought for a long time, and felt that it was too complicated to explain the crustal movement to Li Ying. He said directly: "You know that the sea has changed into mulberry fields, and mulberry fields have changed into seas, right? Everything in the world is changing, and so is the natural environment. It's just a comparison of changes. It's just slow, or you don't know when they change."

"Then you mean that there used to be a sea under Pingding Mountain?" Li Ying's eyes lit up and said, "I've heard of this kind of thing in fairy tales. Is that what you want to say?"

Zhang Yanjin looked at Li Ying silently for a while, and a sentence emerged in her heart: Brother, I can't answer your words...

How terrible it was to have no geography, science, and nature education in ancient times.Li Ying, a good young man who is usually as good as a human being, actually believes in the fairy tales of moving mountains and seas and throwing beans into soldiers.

"It's almost like this. After tens of thousands of years, the seawater under the Pingdingshan gradually dried up, leaving only the salt bed." Zhang Yanjin said vaguely.To him, it doesn't matter how the sea under the mesa came about, what matters is that as long as there is a salt bed underneath.

Li Ying's eyes glowed and he said, "I never thought that such a huge treasure is hidden under Pingding Mountain!"

In the Great Wei Dynasty, salt was the lifeblood of the imperial court, even more important than official tea. If the salt mine could really be dug out under the Pingding Mountain, it would undoubtedly be a huge treasure for the imperial court.

However, he quickly said as if he had thought of something: "Erlang, you really got into a fight with the Zhou family."

Zhang Yanjin was a little confused and said, "What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten who is in charge of selling official salt in the current imperial court?" Li Ying awakened the dreamer.

In Zhang Yanjin's heart, it seemed that a large group of mud horses roared past. If something happened, he couldn't dodge it even if he wanted to. Why didn't he have a fight with his fateful enemy Li Rongniang in this life, but he had a complete fight with the Zhou family?

But he thought about it again, no wonder the Zhou family was so prominent, and his son, Zhou Qin, was the tacitly favored one among the children of Chang'an.The Zhou family is in charge of the official salt and official tea, how can it not be prominent and rich?

"When His Majesty was not His Majesty, Zhou Qin married his younger sister to His Majesty. After His Majesty ascended the throne, Zhou Qin's younger sister became the current Empress. The Emperor was grateful and let the Zhou family take charge of the official salt here." Li Ying Youyou revealed the reason why the Zhou family was responsible for the official tea.

Zhang Yanjin's complexion suddenly became serious, and his hands unconsciously slid on the table.

In history, the queen of Zhou Zhou and the emperor have always been very affectionate. After the death of Queen Zhou, the emperor did not even establish a queen.The emperor's love for Empress Zhou can be seen from the fact that the Zhou family was responsible for the official salt and official tea, which controlled the lifeline of the imperial court.

Not long after he discovered that Xinyang Maojian ran out of the Zhou family's interests, if he dug out the salt mine at this time, wouldn't he have to share some of the Zhou family's biggest piece of fat?At that time, Zhou Qin, that old fox, won't be angry yet?What did the emperor think?

As far as the court is concerned, there is actually no difference in the benefits received by the official tea in charge of Xinyang Maojian and the Zhou family. It can even be said that the aggressive sales of Xinyang Maojian have allowed the court to collect more benefits. After all, the sales of official tea in the past Compared with Xinyang Maojian, there are very few.

Therefore, whether Zhang Yanjin promoted Xinyang Maojian or there was no Xinyang Maojian before, when the Zhou family was in charge of the official tea, the court didn't care. The only difference was that the collection of benefits was transferred to Zhang Yanjin.

Furthermore, Xinyang Maojian also brought a lot of money to the reconstruction of Zhongzhou, which saved a lot of expenditure in the treasury. In this way, the emperor would not stop Zhang Yanjin from selling Xinyang Maojian, but was happy to see it succeed.

But what if he really dug out the salt mine?It is absolutely impossible for him to hand over this benefit to the Zhou family.

"Dig it out first." Zhang Yanjin said directly.

"Now you have made a promise in front of His Majesty, even if you don't dig it out, it's impossible." Li Ying nodded.
