The Nine Surnames are nine great families that have been passed down for thousands of years.
The founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yan Jiaoran's father, Yan Aotian, was able to unify the world and establish the Great Zhou Dynasty with the help of the Nine Surnames.
Yan Aotian once said, "Yan and the nine surnames share the world!"
Therefore, the nine surnames to the Zhou Dynasty are no different from the five surnames and seven families to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
They are all aristocratic families that control a large amount of resources and wealth of a country and possess unmatched strength.
Even a hero like Zhang Jiangling could only gain temporary stability by trading with them during times of turmoil in the court.
But they did not dare to openly tear their faces apart and suppress the power and prestige of the Nine Clans.
Ever since Yan Jiaoran ascended the throne.
These nine aristocratic families are her biggest concern.
Unfortunately, she was powerless, and even though she racked her brains, she had no way to deal with this group of people.
Because if they are really angered, the world will be in chaos.
There is no other choice.
Yan Jiaoran could only swallow her anger.
Devote yourself to cultivating immortality, transcending yourself and transcending the mundane world.
Now, Qin Yuan actually said that he had a way to weaken the Nine Surname Families?
Who doesn’t want to vent after being bullied for a long time?
Yan Jiaoran was naturally ecstatic, with a glittering look in her eyes.
He asked anxiously, "What's the solution?"
Qin Yuan was confident and said calmly, "Selling salt as a private person."
Murong Yanran frowned and said, "Whether it's an official identity or a private identity, isn't there any difference?"
The words fell.
Yan Jiaoran also nodded. She also couldn't figure out this problem.
Isn’t it all about making money by selling salt?
What difference can there be.
"There's a world of difference between the two!"
Qin Yuan couldn't help but squinted at the two of them, and then explained.
"If the government were to sell salt, all matters would have to be registered by officials. If the Nine Surnames wanted to get involved during this period, wouldn't they be afraid of not having the opportunity?"
"But if it's in a private capacity..."
Before Qin Yuan finished speaking, Murong Yanran excitedly interrupted him:
"If I were to do this in a private capacity, I could legitimately force the Nine Families out, and they wouldn't be able to interfere!"
"Moreover, this secret can be kept as secret as possible. By the time the Nine Clans realize it, it will be too late!"
Well, this evil woman is quite stupid.
Qin Yuan nodded, agreeing with her analysis.
Immediately, Murong Yanran asked again, "How much do you plan to price this salt?"
Qin Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ten strings of cash and one pound!"
Ten strings of cash? !
Murong Yanran was so frightened that she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Then, she shouted indignantly, "President Qin, are you serious?"
“Who would buy it at your price?”
"Do you think the nine noble families, princes, and wealthy businessmen are all as foolish as Shi Chao?"
Yan Jiaoran's heart was also full of doubts.
This white salt is so expensive, and money doesn’t fall from the sky, so who would buy it?
"Why can't this be sold?" Qin Yuan spread his hands, somewhat helpless.
He glanced at Murong Yanran again, and seeing that she was confused, he had no choice but to guide her and ask:
"Does this white salt taste good?"
"Good, it tastes better than the tribute salt from the palace."
"Then why worry about not being able to sell it?"
"Well……"
Murong Yanran was completely confused.
Yan Jiaoran also secretly pricked up her ears.
But on the surface, he still looked neither happy nor sad, and cold.
Qin Yuan pouted, looking quite disgusted. The food was already in his mouth, but he didn't even take a bite.
He explained: "As long as we make eating white salt a status symbol, why should we worry about not being able to sell white salt?"
"As long as we find some celebrities to promote it, the taste and price of white salt will completely represent their status."
"You haven't even tasted white salt, are you a celebrity?"
"You haven't even tasted white salt, how can you be considered a descendant of a noble family?"
"In this case, are you still worried that the white salt won't sell?"
"Some people are just trying to be rich, and they have to borrow money to make money!"
"When this white salt is distributed throughout the world, the money owed by the famous scholars will be fully returned, and the money owed by the nine noble families will all go into Your Majesty's pocket."
"By then, not only will we break the Nine Surnames' monopoly on the Great Zhou salt industry, but we can also plunder their wealth."
"Even if the Nine Surnames Family has plenty of money now."
"But!"
"What about ten years from now?"
"What about a hundred years from now?"
"Even a thousand years from now?"
"Can they still afford this white salt?"
"Can they still have such wealth that rivals a country?"
As he spoke, Qin Yuan's heroic spirit was fascinating.
Boom!
These words were like thunder from the sky, exploding in the minds of Yan Jiaoran and Murong Yanran.
Awakening!
Yan Jiaoran smiled and gazed, like a spring breeze melting all the ice and snow in the sky.
Overjoyed.
My heart is pounding!
This strategy is completely like boiling a frog in warm water.
The nine noble families, wealthy businessmen and gentry would step into a trap even if they knew it was one.
It’s all about face and status.
When their wealth is drained...
It's already too late.
This plan... is brilliant!
Kill two birds with one stone!
It can be called the greatest conspiracy of all time!
Murong Yanran was also shocked!
I didn't expect that under Qin Yuan's nonchalant and cynical image, he actually had such talent and insight.
Plan for eternity rather than short-term gains.
This man has great wisdom and talent!
