Oriental refined salt is impacting Qin's salt market. It stands to reason that even if Qin's response is a little slow, it should take measures now to prevent Oriental refined salt from occupying the domestic market.
As a result, the Qin State seemed to be extremely nervous and focused its attention on Shu. What major event happened in Shu?
Not long after, the news about the strange disaster currently encountered in Shu was placed on the desks of all the major forces in the world.
…
In the Purple Orchid Pavilion in Xianyang, Nong Yu tightly squeezed the letter paper in her hand, her shoulders trembling slightly, "Sichuan unexpectedly... They just happened to run into this disaster. No wonder there has been no news for several months."
She took a deep breath, calmed down quickly, turned to look at the woman next to her, her eyes cold, "Did the Yin Yang family also expect this catastrophe of alien beasts?"
"not at all."
The Moon God didn't care about Nong Yu's gaze and shook his head, "If you want to solve this mutation, even the Qin State will have to lose part of its national strength, let alone the Yin Yang Family. Even Donghuang Taiyi can't
Observe the coming of such disasters from the stars in advance."
Huh? Didn’t Donghuang Taiyi know about it in advance?
Nong Yu recalled the important matters explained by Lu Yan, combined with Donghuang Taiyi's ability to observe the stars, and nodded thoughtfully, "It was only after hindsight that I discovered and responded to it, and it actually happened to Donghuang Taiyi. This strange incident happened to Donghuang Taiyi."
The root cause of the change is likely to involve the mysterious Yu Yuan seal."
"My judgment is the same. I have advised the King of Qin that the focus is on the Shu Mountain Witch Clan, but I have concealed the seal of Yu Yuan. The King of Qin ordered Zhang Han to lead the Shadow Secret Guard to accompany the Yin and Yang family."
"For such a difficult and important matter, the Shadow Guards should indeed go there."
In the Yin Yang family, the Moon God is one of our own. The Shadow Guards are not our own, but they are not our enemies either. From this look, Ju Shuang and the others should not have to worry too much when they are in Shu this time.
Nongyu asked again: "What about the net?"
"Li Sima, the Luowang forces are starting to deal with this business war provoked by Qi State."
Moon God seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly chuckled, "The old rival who was once suppressed by Lu Yan has jumped out again. Li Si, Zhao Gao, such a trap, and the Iron Blood Alliance whose strength has been greatly reduced, haha, it is interesting.
"
"Iron Blood Alliance~"
Nong Yu was deeply impressed by this organization, because at that time Lu Yan was investigating the farmland disaster case in Handan, and finally wiped out all the forces of Pingyuan Lord Zhao Ling, and found out the relationship between Zhao Ling and the Iron Blood Alliance.
She has seen quite a few evil people in her life, and those who put poison on farmland like Zhao Ling are truly the worst evil.
"Iron Blood Alliance, it's true that evil people will be punished by evil people."
…
"Iron Blood Alliance, centipede insects, dead but not stiff, hum."
At Luo Wang's headquarters, Li Si slapped his palm on the office table. The pile of files he threw down were Luo Wang's intelligence on the Iron Blood Alliance.
“In this salt war, Qi State sold high-end refined salt to wealthy noble families, and sold the new refined salt at the original market price. In an instant, no one cared about Qin State’s original table salt.
If Qin Salt wants to sell it, it can only lower the price to an extremely low price. In this way, Qin State's salt merchants have almost no profit and cannot afford the cost, so they have to give up the salt business. Within three years, Qin State's salt industry will be controlled by Qi State
.”
"If we force the order to prohibit the use of salt..."
Li Si thought of the current situation in Bashu, picked up the file and slapped it on his forehead, closed his eyes and sighed.
"Bashu is an important salt-producing area of the Qin State. Once salt is completely banned and there is a shortage of salt from Bashu, chaos will occur."
He thought about it and racked his brains, but for a long time he could not think of a good way to deal with this war without gunpowder.
Li Si felt irritable and threw the file in his hand to the ground, breathing heavily from his nose.
"Iron Blood Alliance..."
"Huh? Iron Blood Alliance?"
Suddenly, these three words and this organization seemed to trigger countless thoughts.
"Lu Yan has been closely monitoring for so many years, but he has never found an agent of the Iron Blood Alliance hiding in the Qin State. This shows that this person has always been familiar with the Qin State's government orders, as if he was transparent, and never attracted any attention.
In this salt war, if this person was just a businessman who wanted to make a fortune, he must have left traces in the salt market. Qi's rapid invasion of refined salt should have had his help. If he had Qin's position...ah
!”
Li Si stood up in alarm, his thick eyebrows raised, his eyes bright, "Come here, call Tian Meng."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, Tian Meng came to the room. He was carrying the Zhengang Sword on his back. When he saw Li Si, he bowed his head respectfully and saluted, "Master Tingwei, you are looking for me."
Li Si directly took out a token and threw it to him, "I will allocate manpower to you to monitor the salt market. Where did the previously unsalable salt, especially the salt produced in Bashu, go?"
Tian Meng was stunned when he heard this order. Where did the unsalable salt go? Since it was unsalable, where else could it go?
"grown ups?"
"No need to ask any more questions, just execute the order."
"Yes, I suddenly understand."
Li Si half-squinted his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
A large amount of unsalable salt has to be sold at a low price in the end. If someone takes away this salt... Well, unless you do nothing, you will definitely be involved.
Li Si has thought of a way to find out the member of the Iron Blood Alliance hidden in Qin, and is gradually narrowing the circle of suspicion.
Tian Meng saw him standing there with a slight smile on his lips. He didn't understand why Li Si was so happy about issuing an order.
He was about to turn around and leave when he heard Li Si call him out again, "Wait a minute."
"Sir, do you have any other advice?"
"Haha~" Li Si walked out of the desk and clapped his hands interestingly, "Tian Meng, let me introduce someone to you."
one person?
Tian Meng was full of suspicion.
Li Si put a hand on Tian Meng's shoulder, turned sideways and said to the back of the room: "This is Tian Meng, who was once the master of the farm hall, and is now the first-class Tianzi directly under the Tingwei Mansion. He will also be your future colleague."
"Tian Meng, nice to meet you."
In the shadows, a hoarse voice floated, footsteps, no, there were no footsteps!
Tian Meng's senses immediately alerted him, his thick eyebrows raised, and his big eyes stared straight at him.
This is a killer, Dachengjing.
"I'm Li Jing. Please give me your advice in the future."
The man who walked out of the shadows was wrapped in a black robe so that no trace of skin was exposed. He wore a hat on his head and a mask on his face. He really looked like a mysterious killer. He spoke intermittently, word by word,
Jumping out from under the mask.
Li Si walked away from Tian Meng, pointed at Li Jing and introduced: "Your colleague, Li Jing, is another Tingwei Mansion Tianzi No. 1."
Li Jing, whose surname is Li? Could it be that he is a master secretly trained by Li Si.
No, Li Si is just a scholar with no knowledge of martial arts. He only took over the net a few years ago. How could he secretly train such a master?
Tian Meng was filled with doubts, but his face remained as usual, he showed a smile, cupped his fists towards his colleague and said, "Haha, Brother Li, I will ask for your advice in the future."
Li Si looked at the unfamiliar face-to-face between the two people, rubbed his chin with one hand, and nodded slightly.
