If both companies sell refined salt, then he must sell the salt as soon as possible, otherwise he won't be able to get a good price.
These salts were exchanged for silver, grain and the coarse salt from before, which could at least sustain the people's food and drink for a month.
The food consumption in Qianhuang City was really huge, so he didn't dare to ask King Qianhuang for food.
These ten thousand kilograms of salt are already a huge deal.
Prefect Liu pursed his lips and looked at Qi Zhiyong.
"Master Qi, if I sell some of this refined salt to wealthy merchants and exchange it for money and food to distribute to the people, that should be okay, right?"
Qi Zhiyong was slightly stunned, "It should be possible."
"The prince has not said how to dispose of the salt. Everything is entirely up to Lord Liu."
He was only responsible for transporting the salt. As for what to do with the salt after it was in the hands of Prefect Liu, it was not his business to interfere.
Moreover, this salt was originally given to Prefect Liu by King Qianhuang.
The people’s current lack of salt is not the most important thing. Now that the water problem has been solved, the next thing that needs to be solved is naturally the food problem.
Magistrate Liu immediately felt relieved, as long as they didn't interfere with him.
"That's great. Immediately have the lawyer call all the wealthy businessmen in the city."
"......" Zhao Tongpan pulled the corner of his lips awkwardly, "Master Lu hasn't come back yet."
This time he was busy fetching water and inquiring about the situation in Qianhuang City, and he didn't think about Master Lu at all.
Qianhuang City had given him so much shock that his mind was completely shattered, and he could no longer remember Master Lu and his group.
"...Uh!" Magistrate Liu was also dumbfounded, "Master Lu hasn't been released yet?"
"This---could he have offended King Qianhuang?"
What should we do? Master Lu is in contact with all the wealthy families and businessmen in Bailong City.
He had only seen a few of them.
He doesn't really understand business matters, this...
"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Zhao Tongpan hesitated. "Master Lu has always been very careful and cautious in his work. He shouldn't have offended King Qianhuang."
"Then..." Prefect Liu looked at Qi Zhiyong, his eyes fixed on the intercom that was bulging on his chest.
"Sir Qi, could you please contact King Qianhuang and ask about Master Lu?"
Qi Zhiyong frowned.
"If Lord Liu wants to find a wealthy businessman to help with the salt issue, I can get him here."
He had met all those wealthy businessmen with Master Lu and was quite familiar with them.
It’s better not to let him use the intercom to talk to the prince about this little thing.
Unless it was an extremely urgent matter, he would not disturb King Qianhuang.
Otherwise, if the prince gets annoyed and takes his walkie-talkie back, he will be embarrassed.
After Liu Zhifu finished speaking, he also felt that something was wrong. After all, this was not a big deal.
"That's fine, then please ask Master Qi to summon all the powerful families and wealthy businessmen as soon as possible."
"The highest bidder gets the salt."
As for how the wealthy businessmen will compete with the Xie and Ma families for the initiative once the salt falls into their hands, it depends on their speed.
He is a civil servant and is not good at sales, so he leaves it to someone who is good at it, and each gets what they need.
........
Qianhuang City, prison cell...
"Hey, look at you, you've gained weight in the past few days."
The tall and thin yamen runner Zhang frowned and gave the fat yamen runner Li a cold look.
They are being detained and imprisoned, but it seems like they are just out recuperating.
If they go back like this, Prefect Liu might think they are traitors.
Li Yashi shook his chubby face twice and glanced at Master Lu who was lying on the hay with his eyes closed.
"I'm not the only one who's gained weight, everyone has gained weight."
Who wouldn’t get fat if they lived a life where they could eat nothing but not eat?
Especially now that there has been a drought for so many months, he hasn't eaten so well in a long time.
Three meals a day!!
He didn't have three meals a day when he was at home, but he actually had to eat them while in prison in Qianhuang City.
The key is that three meals a day are a combination of meat and vegetables, with meat and soup, which is simply a life like a god.
He didn't want to go out at all now. If he went out, he would have to starve and have no water to drink.
Li, the yamen runner, glanced at the bucket placed at the door of the cell.
There is enough water here to drink. When the water in the bucket is finished, someone will fill it up.
This day is really comfortable.
Yayi Zhang glanced at Mr. Lu who was lying comfortably, pulled the corners of his lips and sighed lightly.
It is indeed comfortable to have no worries about food and drink and not have to worry about anything.
Don’t say that Li Yayi is fat, in fact he has gained a lot of flesh on his body.
I used to have eight abdominal muscles, but now there is only one left.
"What's the use of sighing?" Master Lu said quietly without even opening his eyes.
"Now that we are here, we should make the best of it and wait."
They cried a lot during the first few days after being locked up.
In the end, they were exhausted and no one bothered them.
And whenever they start making a fuss, their food intake plummets, and even the amount of water they drink is reduced by half.
If they behave themselves and don't make any noise, the food will be too good to be true.
Meat buns and vegetable buns are always available for breakfast, and sometimes there will be stewed pork ribs and white rice.
I can't go out anyway, and making a fuss will only make my stomach uncomfortable.
Just lie down and enjoy this rare leisure time.
He hadn't had a good night's sleep since the drought began and often woke up in the middle of the night.
I have been sleeping so soundly these days.
But when I wake up, I can't help but worry about my family.
"That's true." Yamen runner Zhang scratched his forehead. "I'm just worried whether my old mother can hold on."
"Why!"
Yayi Zhang sighed heavily.
Master Lu paused and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Master Liu won't ignore it..."
Just as they were talking about their concerns about their families, the cell door suddenly opened.
"Get out, you can leave now!"
Master Lu suddenly sat up and looked at the jailer in disbelief.
"Really... can we really leave now?"
Just let them go without asking them anything?
Is there any trick involved?
"What's the matter?" The jailer rolled his eyes at Master Lu. "You feel comfortable living here and don't want to leave."
"I've never seen anyone as comfortable in prison as you are."
"You're just lucky to have met King Qianhuang. If you had met someone else, hehe..."
Finally, this group of freeloaders were let go.
He served water and food to these people all day long, and he had no idea who was actually in jail.
Fortunately, Magistrate Deng suddenly remembered these people today and released them.
Otherwise, he didn't know how long he would have to serve these people.
He felt so much like going to jail for a while and enjoying a life of having everything provided for him.
Looking at the fat white guys, the jailer's eyes almost rolled up to the sky.
"Hurry up and leave!!"
"What are you dilly-dallying about?"
The prison boss knocked on the cell door and urged a few times.
