I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 180 A detailed work placed in Wu State?

Liu Yan asked: "Does Mr. Li think that only Yizhou has salt?"

"Of course not. There is salt in Jiezhou, and there is salt in Jiangdong. And as far as I know, there is a lot of sea salt in Jiangdong. If you want to go somewhere to buy salt, I have no objection at all!"

"Well, it's not that we don't want to use Shu money, it's because Jiankang has regulations that don't allow the use of Shu money." Liu Yan immediately softened his tone and began to explain with emotion and reason, "Of course we are willing to cooperate with Li Shangshu , but it’s really…”

"see a visitor out!"

"Mr. Li disrespects merchants so much, isn't he afraid that if word spreads, other merchants won't want to come?"

"What are you doing standing still!" Li Heng suddenly said angrily, "Send some of you out! I have to tell you several times!"

The expressions of the three people immediately changed. They never expected that Li Heng was out of luck.

The guards hurriedly walked to the three of them, but the three of them did not move.

The guards roughly picked up the three of them and dragged them outside.

Dong Hong on the side couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this. Li Jian was always rough and simple in doing things.

"Li Shangshu! We came here with sincerity!"

"What a sincerity! You just want to get an advantage and don't want to give in. If I don't cooperate with you, you just tell me that you are sincere. Doesn't that mean I don't know how to praise you?"

The usual method used by some people is to put on a harmless face and take things for granted.

If the other party does not cooperate, they will say that they are sincere and make the other party feel guilty.

"If other businessmen don't come because of the three of you, then don't come! It doesn't matter if Sun Wu's businessmen don't come! It doesn't matter if they say that I don't know how to praise!"

The three were dragged out.

Li Heng and Dong Hong were left in the house.

"Li Gong, they are indeed some big businessmen with many ships. If they don't cooperate, we need to find some new ones, which will take time."

Li Heng patted Dong Hong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It seems you don't know what you are selling now."

Dong Hong's advantage is that he is meticulous, but his disadvantage is that he is a bit dull.

"Has the swimming pool I mentioned in the letter been repaired?"

"It's fixed, waiting for you to come!"

"Let's go!"

"Those businessmen..."

"Ignore them!" Li Heng put his arm around Dong Hong's shoulders, "The world is so big, it's not big enough to go swimming now!"

Under the big tree in the backyard of the government office, there is a pond with a radius of more than ten meters.

The pond was covered with stones, and people around carried water and poured it into the pond.

"Ziling, this year, it has been Sun Wu who has been kneeling to buy our products, so you have to be tougher on Sun Wu's merchants!" Li Heng said as he took off his clothes.

After taking off my clothes, I jumped into the pond.

Jiangzhou is hotter than Chengdu!

This place was called a furnace in later generations.

Jumping into the pond, Li Heng suddenly felt comfortable.

"Ziling, don't you swim?"

"I can't." Dong Hong changed the subject, "What's the situation in the capital now?"

"In the case of Tan Cheng, a total of 80,000 acres of land was seized. In the case of Qiaozhou, a total of 300,000 acres of land was seized."

"How will the court deal with these lands?"

"Part of it is given to some landless people, and most of it is given to those with military merit on the front line."

"You have offended so many people. I am really worried about you. There is still a war in Guanzhong. If the capital is in chaos, I am afraid the Prime Minister will not protect you!"

"I came to Jiangzhou this time to solve the problem of Sun Wu using Shu money." Li Heng stroked the water with his hand, swam to the edge, picked up the wine he brought and took a sip, "Zhuge Rong must have known about us These people are here to put pressure on you on the orders of Zhuge Rong!"         "Zhuge Rong probably wants to repeat his old trick. While he is sending people to talk to you, he is also sending people to Fuji Well and Dagong Well to steal new products. The craft of salt.”

Dong Hong was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "You said Zhuge Rong repeated his old skills. Did he steal the papermaking technology?"

"Who else but him?"

Dong Hong suddenly said: "Should we trick him into Jiangzhou and then arrest him?"

Li Heng glanced at Dong Hong in surprise and said, "I am surprised that these words came from Dong Ziling's mouth!"

"Zhuge Rong is really a hateful person!"

"Even if he comes to Jiangzhou, we don't need to arrest him. It's useless to arrest him. Instead, we still need him to promote the expansion of trade between the two sides for us."

At this moment, the people below hurried over: "Mr. Dong, there is someone outside who claims to be Zhan Ming. He wants to see you and says there is something important."

"Why is he back again?" Dong Hong asked in surprise.

"Is he alone?" Li Heng asked.

"Yes."

"Looks like he figured it out."

"Figured out?"

"These three people all came with the same purpose. They were obviously ordered by the same person. They rely on the fact that they have traded enough goods and ships in the past year to put pressure on you!" Li Heng Put down your glass and get up from the pool.

He took the bath towel handed to him by the person next to him, dried it and put on his clothes.

"It's just that these three people are not monolithic,"

"Then do you want to see him?"

"Let him in."

Not long after, Zhan Ming came back.

"I have met Mr. Dong and Mr. Li."

"Why are you back again?" Li Heng asked leisurely while lying on the bamboo chair.

"I came back because I hope Mr. Li can put aside the past grudges. I didn't understand etiquette before."

"Oh, just because of this matter, it doesn't matter. I'm busy and won't waste time on such a trivial matter."

"Mr. Li has a broad mind, and I admire him so much!"

Li Heng said: "Since there is nothing else, please step back first."

"I have one more thing to do. If I have disturbed Mr. Li, please forgive me."

Li Heng's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "You want to tell me that you don't need Shu money and still want to do business with me?"

"No, no, no! I don't dare! I don't dare!" Zhan Ming's attitude was very low, which was completely different from his previous expression. "I want to say that I am very willing to cooperate with Mr. Li. What does Mr. Li ask me to do? Just do whatever you want!”

"Oh?" Li Heng sat up and looked at Zhan Ming with a smile, "Tell me, what can you do for me?"

"I also have some wealth and connections in Jiangling. Whatever Mr. Li needs, I will do my best to do it."

"I just want to make money, I don't have any other ideas."

Zhan Ming's eyes rolled up, and he said: "I can send someone over at any time for some things that happened in Jiangling."

Li Heng said deliberately: "Why do I want to know what happened in Jiangling?"

"Don't you want Mr. Li to know the size of Jiangling, including Zhuge Jin's movements?"

"You haven't answered yet. Why do I know this?"

"Of course we can let Mr. Li take the initiative in the transaction."
