Seeing that Chen Yong didn't look like he was joking, Xie Yutang could only bite the bullet and agree.
"Yes, I will ask them to rectify this as soon as I get back."
These are all small matters. At worst, Zuijinlou will close in Qianhuang City.
Although I lost a lot of income, it’s good to have a peaceful life.
The Xie family has more than one brothel in Qianhuang City. There are brothels all over the Great Celestial Empire. It’s just that the one in Qianhuang City is the largest and most extravagant.
This time he came to show his goodwill and join King Qianhuang, so naturally he would agree to whatever King Qianhuang said.
After all, the Xie family has its roots in Qianhuang City. They definitely can’t leave now, so they can only seek refuge there.
He had already received the news that the Shen family in the capital had been confiscated and exiled, and had escaped on the way.
But he didn't expect that Shen Yong could bring the women of the Shen family to Qianhuang City in the blink of an eye, catching Qianhuang City off guard.
All the aristocratic families entrenched in Qianhuang City were trapped before they had a chance to escape.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yong made drastic changes to the walls of Qianhuang City and did not even ask these noble families to donate a single ounce of silver.
Originally, when they heard the news that Chen Yong was going to expand the city wall, they all couldn't help but sneer.
Expanding the city wall is a huge project, and the amount of money, manpower and material resources required is incalculable.
How could the Shen family come up with so much money?
They were all prepared to wait for the Shen family to come to them and ask for help, but they refused them.
The result.....Ah.....
At this moment, Sun Ren's voice came from outside the living room.
"Your Majesty, the salt transport officer from Bailong City has arrived."
"Okay, take the salt transport officer to the warehouse." Shen Yong stood up and looked at the stunned Xie Yutang.
"Let's go and take a look together."
After saying that, Shen Yong walked out without giving Xie Yutang a chance to refuse.
Xie Yutang stood up in bewilderment. "Salt transport officer?! Is it the salt transport envoy who has arrived?"
What is going on? King Qianhuang has occupied the land and is clearly preparing for a rebellion.
Why would the imperial court send salt transport envoys to deliver salt?
Xie Yutang, who was always good at planning and strategizing, was so stunned by Chen Yong's chaotic attacks that he couldn't even react.
He stood up with a confused look on his face and quickly followed Shen Yong.
Since King Qianhuang has spoken, he will go and take a look.
It was quite a coincidence that Qianhuang City was short of salt when a salt transporter came to deliver salt...
.......
"I, the salt transport officer Qi Zhiyong, pay my respects to King Qianhuang. Long live the King..."
When Qi Zhiyong saw Shen Yong, he excitedly clasped his fists and knelt down, his voice loud and clear.
The group of people gathered at the warehouse door knelt down and paid their respects.
"No need to be polite." Shen Yong raised his chin and looked at Zhang Wenyuan.
"Open the warehouse and put salt in."
"Yes!" Zhang Wenyuan took out the warehouse key with a painful gesture and turned to open the warehouse door.
Xie Yutang, "!!!???"
Add salt! ! ?
All these people have nothing, are they just leaving it to loneliness?
When he arrived, he saw hundreds of people standing at the door of the warehouse, all with empty hands, and they couldn't even see where the salt was.
With a "creak", the sound of a door opening was heard, which made people's teeth ache.
Everyone's eyes turned to the warehouse.
The moment Xie Yutang turned his head to look at the warehouse, he was instantly petrified.
The crowd gathered at the warehouse door exclaimed and gasped.
How could I not be shocked when I saw so much snow-white salt all at once?
Zhang Wenyuan put on a sullen face and started counting the salt with his men.
"Two hundred pounds per person, quickly line up and come get yours."
Zhang Wenyuan had already learned before Shen Yong came that Qi Zhiyong brought 500 people with him and needed to collect a total of 10,000 kilograms of salt, which was exactly 200 kilograms per person.
It was obvious that the people Qi Zhiyong brought with him were quite skilled and could carry something weighing 200 kilograms without any problem.
Xie Yutang didn't come to his senses until two or three soldiers came out of the warehouse carrying salt.
He took a step forward in disbelief, staring intently at the snow-white salt.
"Is this really salt...?"
He had used tribute salt before, but none of it was as white and delicate as this one.
Looking at the warehouse filled with salt, there must be at least several million kilograms.
Where did Shen Yong get so much salt?
The more Xie Yutang thought about it, the more anxious he became.
Could it be that the rumors I heard before were true?
That day, Chen Yong suddenly fell into Qianhuang City, and rain fell wherever he went.
It is said that there is protection from gods.
He had not seen it with his own eyes, so he thought it was an exaggeration, as the people had long since received a blessing.
But now that he saw so much refined salt that he had never seen before, he had to believe it.
And Chen Yong built the city wall so quickly, and the materials arrived so promptly.
At that time, news also reached various families, saying that the material was dropped from the sky.
However, all the noble families stayed indoors, thinking that Shen Yong had deliberately released the news to attract their curiosity and then take the opportunity to kill them.
But the fact is, Shen Yong did not need any help from any family and built the entire city wall just like that.
Chen Yong looked at Xie Yutang's face in disbelief and smiled.
"Go get a bag of salt and show it to Mr. Xie."
"Yes." Sun Ren immediately walked into the warehouse.
Xie Yutang's eyes followed Sun Ren closely, his heart pounding with excitement.
It wasn't until Sun Ren put a bag of fine salt in his hand that Xie Yutang came to his senses.
"this....."
Xie Yutang widened his eyes, rummaging through the transparent bag of salt, his face filled with shock.
He had never seen such fine, snow-white salt.
The bag used to package the refined salt was so high-end that he couldn't even tell what material it was made of.
Smoother than fur, clearer than glass, softer than paper...
Using such fine materials to store the snow-white salt shows how precious this salt is.
Chen Yong watched Xie Yutang staring at the salt bag for a long time and said with a smile, "You can open it and try it."
"Really?!" Xie Yutang looked up at Chen Yong in surprise.
"Of course." Chen Yong smiled lightly, "You can see that there are plenty in the warehouse, so this one pack is not enough."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Xie Yutang hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
However, he was troubled by how to open the bag of salt.
I looked over and over for a long time, but couldn't find any opening.
The exquisite salt was right before his eyes, but he could not taste it.
Chen Yong winked at Sun Ren, who smiled and stepped forward immediately.
"Thank you, sir. I'll help you open it."
“Okay, okay…”
With a "sizzle", Sun Ren tore open the bag.
Xie Yutang, “….”
A waste of money!!!
Just tear it open, I don't need your help.
This is really a waste of resources.
I feel so sorry for him.
Xie Yutang curled the corners of his lips, glared at Sun Ren, and couldn't say the words of thanks.
Such a good packaging bag... What a pity...
Xie Yutang took the opened bag of salt carefully, fearing that it would spill if his hands shook, which would make him feel sad for a long time.
