Chapter 10
“It’s more than just making salt.”

Yang Xian smiled and said: "All walks of life can adopt this assembly line operation model. The larger the scale, the greater the improvement."

"Your Highness, it's getting late. Let's go back."

Zhu Biao nodded. The new things he received today were a bit too much for him, and he had to find time to digest them.

Sure enough, my decision to come to Yangzhou this time was right.

After the group returned to Yangzhou, they went straight to the prefect's office.

Looking at the dilapidated magistrate's office, Zhu Biao's eyes turned slightly red. Such a meritorious minister who had made great contributions to the country, lived in such a dilapidated place.

The imperial court is ashamed of Yang Qing.

Zhu Biao had secretly made a note in his mind, thinking that he must compensate Yang Xian properly if he had the chance in the future, but he did not express it on his face. He still had a spring-like smile, looking like a harmonious king and his ministers.

The two of them chatted all over the place for a while in the government office.

Zhu Biao became more and more certain that Yang Xian was the capable minister he was looking for.

He originally wanted to stay in Yangzhou for a few more days, but the court couldn't do without him, so he was about to get up.

At this time, a notification sound suddenly came.

"See His Royal Highness."

The visitor was none other than Lu Mingyi. He first saluted Zhu Biao, then stood up and reported to Yang Xian and Zhu Biao: "General Lan Yu is here."

Oh!
Yangzhou is really lively these days.

As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived, Huaixi warrior Lan Yu followed him closely.

Yang Xian could more or less guess the purpose of Lan Yu's trip.

He glanced at Zhu Biao.

With Zhu Biao here, he didn't believe that Lan Yu could stir up any waves.

"Did you tell General Lan Yu that His Highness the Crown Prince is here?" Yang Xian suddenly asked.

Lu Mingyi shook his head and replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that this trip to Yangzhou is a secret trip. I dare not disclose it without His Highness's permission."

Yang Xian came up with a plan, turned to look at Zhu Biao and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please go to the side room and wait while I entertain General Lan Yu here."

Zhu Biao didn't know what medicine Yang Xian sold in the gourd, but out of trust, he was willing to cooperate.

In fact, if we really talk about closeness and distance, his relationship with Lan Yu is obviously closer than that of Yang Xian.

You know, Lan Yu is Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, and Chang Yuchun is Zhu Biao's father-in-law, which means that strictly speaking Lan Yu is Zhu Biao's uncle.

"Master Yang, it's really not easy to meet you."

Lan Yu walked in directly with an adopted son. Without seeing him, he got up first and took the lead in attacking.

You must know that this man is extremely courageous. He can't even carry shoes by occupying fields and robbing women.

If he wanted to occupy it, he would occupy the royal horse that he wanted to donate to Lao Zhu, and if he wanted to rob it, he would rob Bei Yuan's imperial concubine.

It can be said that the four words "arrogant soldier and brave general" are vividly reflected in him.

However, Yang Xian was not panicked at all. Even without Zhu Biao, he was still invincible in his territory.

"I've met General Lan!" Yang Xianke saluted politely.

If you want to destroy someone, you must first make them crazy.

Sure enough, after seeing Yang Xian's reaction, Lan Yu was very satisfied. She didn't wait for the host to say anything and just sat down on the main seat without waiting for the host to say anything. This was where Zhu Biao was sitting before.

"I have heard, General, that Yangzhou has become rich recently?" Lan Yu picked up the fruits on the table and searched for a long time, but couldn't find anything satisfactory.These fruits were specially prepared for Zhu Biao.

After all, today's Yangzhou is poor in products and cannot produce decent fruits.

"General Lan, what are you talking about? We in Yangzhou are in a difficult period of revival, and getting rich has nothing to do with us." Yang Xian said.

"yes."

Lan Yu threw a grape in her hand back to the fruit plate at any time, and said directly: "I heard that the salt business in Yangzhou is very profitable now!"

Sure enough, he came here with an eye on the salt business.

Yang Xian knew this well. Such a big cake would inevitably attract the attention of high-ranking officials and nobles.

What they didn’t know was that Yangzhou was only used as a pilot project.

Fundamentally speaking, this is the royal family and the court's business.

"I heard that there are no restrictions on the sale of salt in Yangzhou. I and a group of brothers know that you are in a difficult situation in Yangzhou, so we came here to take care of the business. Do you have any objections to this?" Lan Yu raised her head, stared at Yang Xian and said with a smile.

This posture made it clear that if Yang Xian dared to say no, Lan Yu would dare to throw the plate directly.

"I wonder how much General Lan needs? Is it for the army or for the generals' own use at home? The snowflake salt produced in Yangzhou does taste better than the salt from other places." Yang Xian deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"Okay!" Lan Yu frowned, waved her hand and said impatiently. "General, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. I want [-]% of the salt produced by your Yangzhou salt field in the future!"

Ninety percent!

You must know that although the amount of salt produced by the Yangzhou Salt Farm is considerable, if it suddenly decreases by [-]%, I am afraid that even the supply and marketing of the people in this province will become a problem.

Yang Xian estimated the approximate price in his mind and said, "General Lan, the quantity of salt produced in Yangzhou salt industry is very large. Although our price is cheaper than ordinary salt, [-]% of the salt still costs a lot of money. This money."

"Get the salt first." Lan Yu said.

Good guy, not only does the lion open his mouth, but he also wants to do the business of the white wolf with empty gloves.

"The consumption of various materials and equipment, and the wages of salt workers will all require silver. If General Lan does this,"

Seeing the troubled look on Yang Xian's face, Lan Yu snorted coldly and said, "Master Yang, are you afraid that Lan will default on your debt?"

"Everyone in the entire court knows that I am the uncle of the Crown Prince. Are you doubting me or His Highness the Crown Prince!" Lan Yu pressed forward step by step, and finally slammed the table hard and said loudly.

According to Lan Yu's idea, the little prefect in front of him was trembling with fear when he shouted like a thunderbolt.

It's a pity that the scene he expected was not discovered.

Yang Xian's face lost all the previous respect, and instead looked at him with a smile that made him feel very uncomfortable.

At this time, Lan Tianbao, the adopted son who was standing aside and came with Lan Yu, suddenly noticed a man walking out of the side room next to him, who looked a little familiar.

Wait until he fully realizes it.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Lan Tianbao's forehead.

Didn't I read it wrong? Isn't this the one he's talking about, His Highness the Crown Prince? !

Why are you in Yangzhou at this time? !
"Father, father!"

Lan Tianbao carefully pulled Lan Yu's robe.

"Don't pull me!" Lan Yu flicked her sleeves and continued. "You have to know that His Highness the Emperor will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in the future. One day, when he becomes emperor, I will be inferior to ten thousand people. When the time comes, your benefits will definitely be indispensable!"

"Father, father!"

Lan Tianbao on the side was about to cry.
