"Hmm? You said that the Quyang Huo family... is currently in charge of the Jinyang salt and iron franchise?"

After hearing this news, Concubine Ji couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and suddenly turned around.

"Yes, according to his eldest son Hawking, he seems to have been in control for nearly ten years."

Zhao Sheng, wearing a crown and a royal garbha, had already had a bit of a kingly demeanor in his words and deeds.

"It's strange, why did this Hawking... suddenly get into your relationship?"

Concubine Ji thought strangely, after all, I have never heard of Sheng'er having a good relationship with the Huo family members in the past?

She couldn't help but worry, afraid that someone hadn't deliberately instructed her to take the opportunity to approach Sheng'er so that she could seek some secrets!

"It's such a mother. Although Hawking has no intersection with me, he has a deep personal relationship with his ninth brother Zhao Zheng. Last night I met with all the emperor brothers and celebrated, so the ninth brother called Hawking over."

Zhao Sheng chuckled after hearing this, and explained the relationship clearly in a few words.

"Oh? Have a good relationship with the ninth prince Zhao Zheng? This is a bit interesting..."

When Concubine Ji heard that it was the ninth prince Zhao Zheng's referral, she was relieved and instead became a little interested.

She had a very good impression of the ninth prince Zhao Zheng. Not only did she feel that she was calm by nature and had a lot of strategy, but she also knew that she and Sheng'er had a close relationship with each other since childhood. When she was crowned king, she also applauded in public with a clear stand...

Therefore, among all the princes, she is also the most optimistic about the ninth prince Zhao Zheng, thinking that he has the potential to win over and is also the best candidate to become one of Sheng'er's help!

Therefore, she was secretly concerned about any news related to the ninth prince Zhao Zheng.

"Yes, I think the relationship between the two is absolutely extraordinary. The Ninth Brother completely controls him in control..."

Zhao Sheng had just spoken and added, but Concubine Ji's eyes lit up immediately and she blurted out!

"Sheng'er means... Could it be that after winning over the ninth prince, there is another Huo family to be surprised?"

Concubine Ji naturally thought of this.

Since the ninth prince Zhao Zheng has won over the eldest son of the Huo family, it is very likely that he will control the Huo family's aristocratic power in the future. Then, if Sheng'er wins over the ninth prince to his command, wouldn't even the forces he has been deployed for a long time be fully accepted?

When Concubine Ji thought of this, she was a little higher in her heart when she had no reason to evaluate the ninth prince Zhao Zheng!

"Yes, the mother is really very agile! I have this consideration, otherwise the power of a county's salt and iron franchise... How could Huo leave it to his ninth brother for mediation?"

Zhao Sheng was impressed by his mother's improper handling and immediately praised him!

When he was drunk last night, Zhao Sheng took a special thought when he mentioned this matter unintentionally.

Although I didn't say much at that time, after returning to the palace, I thought about this matter over and over again in my mind.

The eldest son of the Huo family sent his ninth brother Zhao Zheng to find him, and he happened to choose the day he was crowned king. This action is very exciting, and the profound meaning contained in it... cannot be underestimated!

At least it has been shown that Huo's position has basically been inclined toward the Ninth Brother. Otherwise, he would not have entrusted such a major event to mediate with the Ninth Brother.

The reason why Ninth Brother responded to this matter was naturally because he received some promises from Huo, and it was even possible to take the opportunity to intervene in the salt and iron franchise.

Otherwise... could the ninth brother still be willing to be a lobbyist because he had a good personal relationship with Hawking?

For a prince who is about to be crowned as a king, no one will do such an unfavorable deal, not to mention that the ninth brother's intelligence, wisdom and cunning strategy have long been clear!

And how can I not be sure... The reason why Ninth Brother did this was because he deliberately showed kindness to himself?

If you help solve this problem yourself, you will undoubtedly bring your close relationship with your ninth brother!

By the way, it is enough to tie the Quyang Huo family to his own chariot!

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but look at each other with his mother, but he couldn't help but nod and saw what he was thinking from the other person's eyes.

"Sheng'er has really grown up... But from the details and the clues, he found the core context of the whole thing and the truth hidden deep inside!"

Concubine Ji couldn't help but nodded repeatedly with relief, but finally felt relieved that she let her prince go to the fiefdom alone.

"It's just a county's salt and iron franchise! It's a good deal to get the help of the Ninth Prince and the Huo family!"

For Ji, who has a great family and a wealthy family, the power to sell salt and iron is really not a pain.

Among the three prefectures and thirty-six counties in Dakan, Ji's family has already taken over the top six counties!

Not to mention the complexity of Ji's business, the influence not only covers the 36 counties of Dagan, but also covers the nine provinces and travels to the Three Kingdoms!

Therefore, in a second thought, Concubine Ji had already made a decision, but she wanted to hand over all the matters of the salt and iron in Jinyang County to Huo!

"That's true. Moreover, Ji's influence in Jinyang is limited, but Huo's influence has been in power for decades, and has been in charge of salt and iron for nearly ten years. Its influence in Jinyang County is immeasurable!"

Zhao Sheng nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and praised happily.

"I am a newcomer. If I promise this, it will be of great help to me to govern Jinyang and conquer the subjects!"

Concubine Ji was even more happy when she heard this. She kept nodding and sighing. Her prince had really grown up...

"No, but it should be noted that Huo only wants to be extra happy. This key point is undoubtedly the ninth prince Zhao Zheng!"

But then, she remembered what happened again and hurriedly reminded her.

"You must know that the value of these nine princes is far better than that of the Huo clan in Quyang! This time, the salt and iron specialty will make the ninth prince accept this favor! I will continue to hand over the Huo clan in charge... But the benefits he gets must be divided equally with the ninth prince!"

Zhao Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly realized and said yes!

In my heart, I was really impressed by my mother's wisdom and strategy...

...

"In the tenth year of Shenwu, the eighth prince Zhao Sheng was granted the title of King of Jin and his fief is Jinyang County.

The Chinese mainland, the nine states, and the salt and iron affairs were all imitated by the big business and were circulated by the people themselves, which was called giving benefits to the people.

However, as time passed, the power of the salt and iron franchise was mostly held by the confidants in power. Therefore, the King of Jin was first awarded the title, and his mother's family Ji family wanted to take over the power of the salt and iron franchise in Jinyang.

When the King of Jin wanted to let go, he realized that the salt and iron of Jinyang were all held by the Huo clan of Quyang, and the eldest son of Huo clan was in love with his ninth brother Zhao Zheng, so he thought about it and did not want to move.

When asked about his mother, Ji Shuang sighed and said, "Zhao Zheng is actually the appearance of a saint emperor! How could he be accused of a county of salt and iron? "

'The only way to retreat, abandon the benefits of salt and iron in a county, and gain Zhao Zheng's thoughts can you fight to follow the dragon's head and ensure that my Ji family will be free of worries!'

The King of Jin praised it and divided the benefits of salt and iron in Jinyang into two, and offered them to his ninth brother."
