Chapter 213



"I had wanted to sell it and save your lives, but I didn\'t expect that you guys would play with me in the face of a disaster. In the end, it wasn\'t me who was panicking, so just take care of yourselves."

"Don\'t worry, Mr. Qi. We have something to talk about. Come in quickly and sit down." He stood up and invited a few more salt merchants back into the room.

They all took a sip from their teacups before placing them heavily on the table. "Now, do you understand what I\'m talking about?"

Wu Min sized up Qi Ming, finally gritting her teeth and nodding her head, "Mr. Qi is probably talking about the matter of us secretly raising the price of salt and causing the price of salt to rise recently, right?"

"Wu Min, I\'m not talking about you secretly raising the price of the salt, but you dare to scheme with the government and use sand as a substitute for salt to make up for the loss of salt tax!"

Wu Min\'s heart skipped a beat, "Don\'t speak nonsense Mr. Qi, this is a crime of extermination!"

"Since you won\'t repent even if you die, there\'s no need for me to say it," with that, they turned to look at the other salt merchants, "Just follow this good leader and die with him!"

"Don\'t worry, Mr. Qi," some salt merchant said to Wu Min directly, "Leader Wu, if Mr. Qi could inform us in advance, it must be because he\'s with us. He wants to save our lives. We can\'t be muddle-headed anymore."

Wu Min Zhi sighed before bowing to the group and said, "Please forgive me Mister Qi. This matter is of great importance and I was so flustered that I couldn\'t think of anything to say. Where did Mister get this news?" "Someone secretly wrote a secret letter about you guys secretly exchanging sand for salt and delivered it to Lord Li. He also claimed that he could produce ample evidence." Qi Ming shook his head, "This time, Lord Li was ordered to verify the Jiangnan salt tax. He originally wanted to sell it to the best of his abilities and let you all recite it."

"From the kindness of the Li family and the First Prince, who would have thought that you would have the guts to cause such a disaster?" Mr. Qi, to be honest, if there\'s a way, we wouldn\'t want to do this. It\'s just that the salt tax deficit is too big, so we had no choice but to do this. We hope to use this purchase of salt to equalize the deficit.

that would allow Lord Li to be so generous? " "Lord Li is not the only one who thinks about this matter. There are others who are watching, especially the ones who wrote letters to Lord Li revealing the fact that you exchanged sand for salt. They don\'t have any clue as to who they are, in case Lord Li is involved …"

It\'s hard to get out of here, and there\'s only one way out for you all right now, and that is to use silver taels to pay the salt tax on the deficit as soon as possible. "

Wu Min Zhi frowned, "But Mr. Qi should also know that the sinking of the salt ship has spread. Everyone knows that now he\'s using money to make up for the loss. Doesn\'t that mean we have something to hide?"

As for whether or not you want to leave, that will depend on your own intentions. I\'ve brought the words here, so I believe that you all also have something to discuss. I will not keep you all here any longer.

Some of the salt merchants were anxious and wanted to say something, but when they saw Wu Min\'s gaze, they immediately stopped and followed him out of the room.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense. After a long while, everyone began to speak.

"Leader Wu, what should we do now?"

"Could that fellow\'s identity be trusted?"

"That\'s right. The path he pointed out to us clearly doesn\'t work right now, but he said it was a clear path. Exactly how should we proceed?" Wu Min Zhi raised his hand to indicate for everyone to be quiet, "I have carefully checked the seal on the thread. The two River Governor seals are indeed real, and I have already sent people to investigate their identities, so we can vaguely find out that they have something to do with the First Prince\'s residence. In other words, it is very likely that he is Sir Li who paid his respects in advance.

"Coming to Yang Zhou city."

"If that is the case, we must listen to him. After all, the one who has come to verify the salt tax is the Governor of Two Rivers, Lord Li." "Yeah, if I knew earlier, I wouldn\'t have cared about the money. If I had taken it out earlier and used it to make up for the losses, there would have been no future events." These salt merchants had at least tens of millions of silver taels. It wasn\'t a problem for them to take out several million for each of them. However, due to their previous heartache, coupled with the fact that they were in the top few …

He had been safe and sound when he had checked the salt tax every year, but he had been a little slow in his mind. He hadn\'t thought that he would be negligent for a moment and end up making a big mistake.

"We can\'t fill the gap even if we want to. We have already announced the sinking of the boat. If we fill the gap now, wouldn\'t we be slapping our own face?"

"Chief Wu, what do you think we should do?"

The color in Wu Min\'s eyes deepened, "You\'ll understand after you think about it."

"Words of the same name?" Everyone looked at each other, and someone couldn\'t help but repeat the words of the same person, "... There was only one clear path, and that was to use silver taels to pay the salt tax as soon as possible... There was only one clear path … "Minlur …"

Someone could not hold it in and came to a realization, "There is only one path, but there can be many secret passages! Right now, we are unable to make up for our lack of money on the surface, which means that this road has already been blocked off. Then, we can only secretly think of a way to deal with this problem.

"That\'s right." Wu Min nodded in agreement. "It\'s highly likely that their identities are true. What we should discuss now is how to satisfy him, so that Sir Li can show us his magnanimity."

The salt merchants couldn\'t help but fall silent as they pondered in their hearts. In fact, they all knew what was going on, and this was the usual practice of checking salt taxes. Every time an official was sent down, they would have to give silver taels as gifts.

"Chief Wu, what do you think we should do?"

"That\'s right. Leader Wu, please tell us that you are now the leader of the salt merchant and that you have more ideas than us. We will listen to you now."

"Please make your decision, Leader Wu." "Actually, all of you should understand that Lord Li belongs to the First Prince\'s faction. For the past one to two years, the First Prince has repeatedly sent people to recruit us, but now, the situation in the capital is not clear, and if we rashly submit to him, then it would be simply to be someone else\'s money bag. Therefore, we have yet to express our attitude, but the situation is different now.
