She put away the wooden barn.
"Boss Yun, stop pretending. Few of those who can transport Yun Country's goods to the Mo Dynasty and come to the capital are weak. We are open-minded and we don't mince words. You have to do this business whether you want to or not. After all, you also saw me assemble this hidden weapon, so you should have guessed the identity of the person who held it earlier."
"As long as you can help me find him, I can provide you with business in Yun Country at the lowest cost. I can even teach you how to make sea salt..."
A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Yun Xiaozi's eyes as he held his head.
The other side of Qi State faces the sea.
He knew the word "sea salt", but unfortunately the sea salt tasted bitter and astringent. Only the poor people living near the sea who could not afford the government salt would get some sea salt to eat.
But I don’t dare eat too much because I will get sick.
Yun Xiaozi's home was in a fishing village by the sea in Qi State. He knew too well the pain of diarrhea after consuming sea salt. Although he would not die immediately, he would suffer from endless diarrhea, fever, weakness, and even sores and pus on his body that would eventually ulcerate. In the end, if he could not spend a lot of money to go to the town to ask a doctor for medicine, he would die in pain.
But if they have money to hire a doctor, why would they eat sea salt just because they can't afford the government salt?
"Will eating the sea salt you mentioned make you sick?"
Yun Xiaozi finally raised his head and looked at Yang Zhao and asked.
He still had the timid look of a merchant, but the gleam deep within his eyes was not concealed.
Yang Zhao curled his lips and said, "No, it's not even worse than the salt in the salt fields controlled by the government."
Yun Xiaozi lowered his hands from holding his head and sat cross-legged on the ground. With a more serious expression on his face, he looked at Yang Zhao and asked, "How can you guarantee what you said?"
Yang Zhao smiled and said, "I don't need to promise, because you know very well that if you don't agree, you won't be able to leave the Marquis' Mansion. Even with my ability, it's very easy for me to go to your hometown."
Yun Xiaozi's face darkened.
"Are you threatening me?" And you're even threatening his family!
Yang Zhao placed the wooden barrel on the table and shook his head. "That's not a threat. I'm just stating that we're on equal terms. Now that you know the identity of the owner of this barrel, I'd like to know where Boss Yun's hometown is. It's only fair."
"Of course, I'm not an executioner. I'm not interested in killing people for no reason."
Yang Zhao met Shang Yun Xiaozi's eyes with a half-smile, "As long as Boss Yun abides by the principle of 'doing business with integrity', we will naturally abide by our promises, conduct business properly, and strive for a win-win situation together."
Bullshit win-win.
This is simply a threat!
After Yang Zhao assembled the hidden weapon, Yun Xiaozi did guess the owner of the hidden weapon, but it was just a guess. However, this time Yang Zhao told him clearly.
Obviously, he was forced to take on this 'business'.
Isn’t it said that Duke Yang of Qi was a great and kind man?
What kind of philanthropist would use the other person's family to threaten them to do something?
Yun Xiaozi secretly bit his back teeth.
But he had to admit that he couldn't refuse, and at the same time, he was tempted. Let's not talk about other businesses, just talking about sea salt. Once he could find a solution, his family and the people in the village wouldn't have to endure such pain...
"Okay, I'll do this business with you."
"However, I have a condition," Yun Xiaozi added.
"you say."
"I want to be alone..."
