Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 15 Lao Liu takes the blame
Afterwards.

Li Shanchang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with strong support, but collapsed immediately as soon as he entered the mansion.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, you must take care of yourself." Hu Weiyong, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, immediately stepped forward to support Li Shanchang and said.

Take care of yourself!

How do you tell me to take care of myself?

Now on the market, the price of high-quality Yangzhou snowflake salt is less than three yuan!

The price of general refined salt has even dropped to 10 cents.

This is the price at which salt shops sold by Yangzhou government officials were sold before.

The average price they paid for high-quality Yangzhou snowflake salt was more than five taels of silver, while the price of ordinary refined salt was seventy or eighty cents.

Money, money in its true form!
Li Shanchang only felt a throbbing pain in his chest.

And at this time, the servants in the mansion kept hearing announcements about the arrival of guests.

After a while.

Prime Minister's Mansion Hall.

Li Shanchang, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the people in the hall, stretched out his hand to rub his temples, and felt an unbearable headache.

It was no one else sitting in the hall at this time.

They are all nobles from the Huaixi Party.

"Prime Minister." The impatient Ji'an Marquis Lu Zhongheng said bluntly. "At the beginning, you dragged us together to participate in this Yangzhou snowflake salt business. You see, now we are all losing money. Do you want to give us an explanation?"

"Want me to give you an explanation?" Li Shanchang couldn't help but raise his voice. "I'm actually losing money. What do you mean I'm giving you an explanation? What can I do?!"

Li Shanchang realized that he was a little out of control, took a deep breath, and after adjusting, he tried to say in a calm tone: "The truth is originally for everyone here, no one wants to see this situation today."

"There is no way to make money 100% in business."

"At the beginning, I also had the idea of ​​​​making the brothers in Huaixi rich. I didn't say that I would definitely make money. Even if the brothers made money, I didn't let everyone share it with me."

"Xiangguo, no matter what you say, we all believed in you, so we followed the Yangzhou salt business, and now all of us have lost our money! You always have to give your brothers an idea. Now there are still some people in my house Hundreds and thousands of kilograms of fine Yangzhou snowflake salt cannot be sold." Yan'an Marquis Tang Shengzong said.

"Yes, I still have a lot of snowflake salt that I can't sell."

"Me too."

"Snapped!"

Faced with the excitement of the crowd, Li Shanchang slammed the table hard and stood up directly.

"I will only hoard more snowflake salt than everyone here. Now that the snowflake salt cannot be sold, there is nothing I can do."

"If you come to my house today and you insist on blaming me for this and want an explanation, then don't talk nonsense to me. Go and see for yourself what else is valuable in the prime minister's house. Just move out.”

"Or look at how much money my old life is worth, and take it all!"

Regardless of Li Shanchang's background as a scholar, his aura after speaking shocked all the Huaixi nobles on the spot.

For a while, the entire hall was silent.

There are only a handful of people in the world who can suppress this group of arrogant warriors to this extent.

He is worthy of being the prime minister of the country.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you have spoken harshly." Pingliang Hou Feiju stood up and played haha ​​to ease the atmosphere on the court. "Today we brothers are not here to blame Big Brother, but because we really have no choice and are desperate, we are here to seek a way out from Big Brother, whom we respect most." The rest of the people also stood up and apologized in agreement.

Li Shanchang saw that the other party took the initiative to pass the steps, so he followed the trend and went down.

These Huaixi nobles will be his capital in the court in the future.

The more difficult the situation, the harder it is to twist the rope.

When an internal problem occurs and the problem cannot be solved for a while, then find a common enemy externally.

"According to the spies' reports, the salt shops in Yangzhou City have started selling refined salt again." Li Shanchang suddenly said at this time.

Hear the string song and know the elegant meaning.

Although most of the people present were reckless, being reckless does not mean they are fools.

"What a fool, it turns out that this little brat Yang Xian is behind all this." Lu Zhongheng immediately became furious and yelled loudly. "I'll go back home right now, pick up the knife and go to Yangzhou to kill this treacherous bastard!"

"Zhong Heng, don't be impulsive. Because of this snowflake salt relationship, Yang Xian has great grace now. Could it be that you have forgotten Lan Yu's lesson and are still thinking about it behind closed doors." Li Shanchang said.

Originally, he wanted to use Sapphire as a negative teaching material.

But after mentioning the word "Blue Jade", the expressions of everyone present became extremely complicated.

The whole incident can be said to be a blessing in disguise for Lan Yu, who perfectly avoided this wave of salt price thunderstorms and became one of the few noble people in Huaixi who was not implicated.

"How could a little Yang Xian come up with such a vicious plan?" Hu Weiyong, who had been silent on the side, spoke at this time. "Besides, he is thousands of miles away in Yangzhou, and it is even more impossible for him to control the situation in the capital."

"Mr. Hu has forgotten who Yang Xian's teacher is. It's Liu Bowen who speaks ill of us behind our backs all day long. Yes, it must be the old guy's fault!" Tang Shengzong said.

"The old guy knew he couldn't deal with us, but he actually tried to trick us. Don't let me catch him. If he falls into my hands one day, I will definitely make his life worse than death."

"It would be better for such a bad bastard to die. If one day he dies, I will set off firecrackers on the day of his funeral to celebrate!" Lu Zhongheng said.

"Okay, you can talk about these things in my house, but don't talk nonsense after you go out." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Shanchang stood up and said. "If it falls into the ears of someone who is interested and gets involved in a conspiracy in front of the emperor, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot again."

Li Shanchang knew that the real person behind this matter was not Liu Bowen, but the current Holy Emperor.

It just doesn't matter what the truth is.

All he wants is for these Huaixi nobles to find the truth they want to see.

Liu Bowen inexplicably gave his cheap student a huge blame.

Yangzhou City.

The magistrate's office.

Lu Mingyi looked at the man in front of him as if he was worshiping a god.

This man kept his word, and the price of salt in Yangzhou City has indeed returned to its previous state.

In the past few days, news from the capital has been spreading back to Yangzhou.

Even though he was thousands of miles away in Yangzhou, Lu Mingyi could feel the treacherous clouds, wind and rain during these days in the capital.

It turned out that with just one person's power, he was able to play with the entire imperial court in the midst of applause.

This is not God, what is it?
Although in fact it was with the help of Prince Zhu Biao, this was habitually ignored by Lu Mingyi.
