Chapter 97 Lure the snake out of its hole!(1/2)
On the streets of Xianyang City!
Ying Ziye walked aimlessly with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Does Hou Qing have anything to do with the Seven Kills Sect?"
"Otherwise, how could he know the Seven Kills Sect so well?"
"..."
At the corner of the street, in the alley.
Wu Gou accidentally spotted Ying Ziye walking on the street, and a look of surprise appeared on his cheeks.
"How is that possible?!"
"Did the Seven Killers Sect fail?"
As Wu Gou murmured softly, his face became even more ugly!
"Let the Seven Kills Sect fail! This is no small matter!"
"No! This news must be reported to the head of the family as soon as possible!"
After saying this, Wu Gou immediately turned around and left, heading towards the Wu family.
at the same time.
Ying Zi wandered around at night and unknowingly came to an alley corner.
"Sir, can you come here for a moment?"
Calling softly, a warning sound sounded from not far away, interrupting Ying Ziye's thoughts.
Looking around.
In a shop, a waiter was carefully waving his hand towards Ying Ziye, beckoning him to come.
"Oh!"
Ying Ziye chuckled and walked towards the waiter out of curiosity.
"What? What's the matter?"
The waiter smiled mysteriously and said enigmatically: "You will feel troubled when you look at the young master."
"oh?"
Ying Ziye was startled, then smiled and said, "How do you know?"
The waiter patted his chest, pointed at his own eyes and said, "To be honest, sir, my eyes see all kinds of people every day."
"I dare not say anything else. I can tell at a glance whether he has something on his mind."
"oh?!"
"interesting!"
"From what you say, it seems that you can solve my troubles?"
Ying Ziye said with a playful smile.
"hey-hey!"
"That's fine, as long as you can afford the price!"
"Um?"
Ying Ziye's eyebrows moved slightly, and he smelled an unusual smell.
"Why does your store have the strength to say it can solve everything?"
"Young master, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters, just say what you want to solve."
Ying Ziye hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Is it possible to smelt iron?"
Important industries such as salt and iron are closely related to people's daily lives and are extremely important. They are all operated by state monopolies.
And it can increase the empire's finances.
Therefore, no matter which country in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, private operations in salt and iron production were prohibited.
The same was true when it came to the Qin Empire.
Violators will be beheaded, and even the nine tribes will be implicated!
When the waiter heard this, his expression was slightly startled!
But it only took a moment before everything returned to normal again.
Obviously, anyone who comes here will solve problems that the empire will not tolerate!
"Who is your Excellency?"
Ying Ziye looked calm and said: "I am a north-south trader. I specialize in traveling between Guanzhong and the north. I specialize in selling furs and other items."
"Now that the war in the north has begun, this iron weapon is in urgent need. If there is a way, we will definitely make a fortune!"
"I just don't know if you have the ability..."
When the waiter heard this, he looked Ying Ziye up and down.
After seeing that there was nothing abnormal, the waiter nodded and said: "It can be done, but the price will definitely be more expensive."
"A pound of iron costs a thousand cents."
"Young master, you can come back to pick up the goods in two days."
"Thousands of coins!!!"
"It seems a little too high, right?"
"You must know that transportation from Guanzhong to the northern border requires management from top to bottom, and labor costs also need to increase..."
Ying Ziye pretended to be a businessman and calculated carefully so as not to make the other party suspicious.
"Iron weapons are a great sin!"
"The price is naturally higher. As for what you use these iron tools for!"
"We won't ask about this!"
"As for the cost you mentioned, of course we don't need to consider it!"
"If you don't want to, please go elsewhere!"
After saying that, the waiter turned around and walked to the back room.
"No, no, no!"
"Everything is easy to discuss!"
"A thousand coins, then a thousand coins!"
"This is a deposit of three hundred taels. When I see the thing, the remaining balance will be given to me."
Ying Ziye feigned pain and took out three hundred taels of gold from his arms and placed it on the cabinet.
When the waiter saw this, he smiled brightly and accepted the deposit.
"This is right!"
"If the cost is high, this thing can naturally increase, and it won't be a loss for you!"
"How much iron ore do you want?"
When Ying Ziye heard this, he said with a smile: "As many as you want!"
"What!!!"
The waiter looked at Ying Ziye in shock and asked doubtfully, "Do you have that much money?"
Ying Ziye smiled slightly and said, "Now, you don't have to worry!"
"If there is not enough money, I will naturally try my best to raise it!"
When the waiter heard this, he pondered over and over again and said firmly: "Okay!"
"As for how much iron ore there is, I will tell you in two days."
"It's up to you, don't say you have no money in the end! You must know that the boss behind this store is not someone you can afford to offend!"
"rest assured!"
Ying Ziye smiled slightly, turned around and walked out of the store.
but!
When Ying Zi walked to the corner of the alley at night, his face instantly turned cold.
Selling salt and iron!
The crime of empire!
What's more, in the city of Xianyang, under the emperor's feet, he openly committed such a rebellious thing!
