"What is Ying Zheng trying to do, create a monopoly?!" Li Shimin pointed to the current situation of official salt sales. The Qin State has now completely received most of the world's official salt into their Daqin salt warehouse.

Guo Zi, the Minister of Household Affairs, is also in the dark. During this period, official salt has been under control. Why did the Qin State suddenly control most of the world's official salt?

Liu Yan, a doctor in charge of the Tang Dynasty's private economy, also told Li Shimin exactly what happened, what Ying Zheng wanted to do and what he thought, but the answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Your Majesty, Ying Zheng is a wolf with undying ambitions. He has the reputation of being the eldest brother in the world, but he has no real eldest brother. Strength is the most urgent wish for the Qin State. Therefore, Ying Zheng wants to take advantage of the time when the Eastern countries are carrying out reforms and has no time to care.

There was a problem with the sale of official salt, so they saw the right opportunity and took advantage of this loophole."

Li Shimin now understood that Ying Zheng's approach was to quickly develop his own economy. Seeing that his goods could no longer be sold, he quickly solved the economic difficulties through the issue of salt. Once Qin monopolized the sale of salt, all countries would

There will be a shortage of official salt, which will require large-scale purchases from Qin. At that time, Qin will only need to collect money.

"Ying Zheng's plan is really good. Hmm... It seems that Qin's ally is no longer reliable. He immediately issued an edict to cut off all contacts with Qin. If you dare to touch me, a businessman of the Tang Dynasty, you will rebel against him!"

However, what Ying Zheng did was indeed a bit unethical. He snatched the salt from the hands of foreign merchants in all the salt markets in the country. He did not expect to have a strong ally like Tang. In the end, he offended the people next to him.

Li Shimin.

When Ying Zheng knew that they had also withheld the salt from the Tang Dynasty, it was too late. At this time, Li Shimin would definitely tell the emperors in the world through the chat group that Ying Zheng did not abide by the covenant and extended his claws to the merchants of the Tang Dynasty without authorization.

Desire for evil.

Sure enough, Li Shimin posted this message in the chat group: "The Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng, did not keep his word and made decisions without the consent of the Tang Dynasty. He swept away the official salt from the salt merchants of the Tang Dynasty. This is called robbing. Today

I, the Tang Dynasty, declare to the world that we will sever our alliance with Qin!"

As soon as this news came out, all the emperors in the group rose up to attack. Some emperors who had planned to establish an alliance with Qin were instantly dispelled by Li Shimin's notice, and some emperors also started to criticize Li Shimin's announcement.

He denounced and criticized Ying Zheng and launched a strong counterattack on the issue of salt merchants.

Regarding the salt and iron monopoly, Liu Bang specially set up a salt and iron official to be responsible for the sale of salt and iron. He angrily criticized the news that Ying Zheng was monopolizing the salt and iron market: "Ying Zheng, you not only violated the covenant, but you also engaged in this kind of monopoly."

What a scam! You have completely disrupted the good salt and iron sales market!"

Then Zhao Kuangyin also followed Liu Bang's words and launched a powerful attack on Ying Zheng with the most angry words: "The Emperor of the Han family is right! Although Ying Zheng is the eldest brother of our group of emperors, you can't

Do it like this! People like you are just doing some villainous things!"

However, Ying Zheng was very calm and didn't say anything. He just watched these people scolding him. He also drank wine and ate delicious food leisurely. He didn't care about how these people scolded him. You can scold him. I, Ying Zheng

Regardless of you, I should do it anyway.

The seeded player Feng Hao, who came up next, also hurriedly came over to start the fight, and launched a righteous attack on Ying Zheng from the perspective of a "just man".

"The name of eldest brother is not worthy of the name. I think he will give up his position sooner or later!"

Regarding Ying Zheng's monopoly on salt and iron, Feng Hao knew very well that the Qin State had a large number of people at their disposal, but the economic problem still could not be truly solved, so they resorted to such a dirty trick as monopolizing salt and iron.

To target the fourteen countries in the world.

Precisely because he dared to do this, who would dare to reach an alliance consensus with Ying Zheng?

At this time, in the palace of Qin State, Ying Zheng was drinking home-brewed wine, holding his mobile phone in his hand and watching how these people sprayed him.

"They are already anxious now, haha..."

Sima Cuo, the official of the Qin State, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, won't this cause all the countries in the world to attack?"

Li Si had already answered this question for Meng Yi. Ying Zheng answered Sima Cuo's question very seriously: "Countries are busy with the reform of domestic affairs, so they will definitely neglect the salt and iron monopoly. I, Da Qin, will take the lead as quickly as possible.

Seizing market dominance in one step leaves no chance for other countries to intervene. As long as we seize the salt and iron market, these people will not shake our position."

However, Sima Cuo thought of another possibility. He said: "If your majesty thinks that these people will still be like the six countries who joined forces to attack Qin, then I also have an idea, that is, all the countries will unite as one to denounce our country Qin, and

They will fully boycott Daqin's exports and no longer provide any material support to our country. Even if they are not in alliance, they will cut off our support line."

Lu Buwei has thought about this problem for a long time. If this really happens, unless they are unlucky, but think about it carefully, if there is no salt and iron market in various countries, the people and the court of various countries will have a series of problems because of the lack of salt.

If the support line is cut off, Qin can also cut off the salt and iron markets and refuse to sell salt to these countries.

At this time, the emperor's chat group was still criticizing Ying Zheng's actions, but Ying Zheng remained unmoved and continued to watch them scold them. It would be better if these people became impatient.

"We, Da Qin, have used legitimate means to seize the dominance of the salt and iron market. This is obvious to all of you businessmen." Ying Zheng changed directions again and directly turned his focus to the businessmen who lead private commerce in various countries.

Li Shimin jumped out and cursed: "Bah! You are the only ones using legitimate methods. You don't look at yourself in the mirror, drive away all the businessmen from our countries, and take away all the salt that is bought and sold.

Are you using legitimate means?!"

Ying Zheng replied shamelessly: "That's because I have a way to seize the initiative. It's not my fault that you guys have no brains~"

At this time, Ying Zheng has completely become a more rogue than Liu Bang. They thought that Liu Bang's rogue was the best in the world and no one could call him second. Now that Ying Zheng is the number one, Liu Bang has no place to put him.

It is natural for an emperor to do whatever it takes for the benefit of the country. It is also reasonable for him to do these things first. It is not just to make the country strong. Since private goods cannot be sold, then turn to salt, which is used by everyone, and seize the market dominance.

It's much better than selling those goods.
