Chapter 258: Concern

Cui Yicheng is now the most leisurely official among the two prefectures of Dingfu. Driven by several powerful forces, the Mainland of Dachu launched a strong blow to Fuzhou's private salt transactions, almost sweeping away the private salt sales network, hoping to cut off Li Qing's largest financial source, but Li Qing immediately launched a powerful counterattack unreasonably, not only stopped the private salt, but also stopped the official salt from being sold out. Fuzhou is the three major salt production areas of Dachu. It can be imagined that the impact on the price of salt can be imagined. Li Qing's move immediately led to a soaring salt price in Dachu.

Although the daily consumption of salt is not large, it is an indispensable daily necessity for every household, affecting thousands of households. Fuzhou's move immediately set off a wave of salt purchases in Dachu. The treasury wave, and the salt price rose to an incredible price in a short period of time. This is because some big salt merchants more or less know the inside story. I don't know when this war without cigarette sales will end. It is to reduce or stop selling salt on a large scale, in order to expect salt to go to a higher price, so as to make huge profits.

The culprit, led by King Ning, never expected that Li Qing's counterattack was so arrogant. Li Qing's financial situation was indeed cut off, but the salt price in his territory was also growing higher and higher. Some places even had no salt for sale, and the people were full of complaints. Li Qing could not hear these complaints. The first thing he had to face was the leaders of major forces.

The imperial edict ordered Fuzhou to restore the supply of salt immediately was thrown into the corner with a sneer and ignored it. As for how to perfunctory Emperor Tianqi, Li Qing had a lot of reasons. A typhoon was coming, a tsunami was coming, a pirate was coming, and so on. You can find out as much as you want. Anyway, Fuzhou has no salt now.

Against this background, Cui Yicheng, the largest private salt dealer in Dingfu Prefectures, became the most leisurely person. In less than a month, he gained a lot. Today, he was suddenly summoned to the Grand Marshal's Mansion by Li Qing. He was very excited. It seemed that he had something to do again.

"See the Grand Marshal!" Although the summoned place was in the inner hall and Li Qing was wearing plain clothes, Cui Yicheng still paid respect and worshipped with great respect. Compared with the first meeting with Li Qing, Li Qing is now more and more powerful, and Dingzhou's power is becoming increasingly powerful. Cui Yicheng can imagine that after destroying the barbarians, the two states of Dingfu will form a huge military interest group around Li Damashal. He is fortunate to become one of them. Although he is still relatively peripheral, Cui Yicheng is already very satisfied. He is not as good as he was a few years ago. As long as he gets on this boat, he will have the chance to climb higher.

"No need to be polite, get up, Lord Cui." Li Qing smiled and helped him. In the past two years, the salt business has been in good order under Cui Yicheng's management and provided a lot of money for Dingzhou. Cui Yicheng has also proved his ability, and Li Qing has decided to let him take on greater responsibilities.

"Mr. Cui has worked so hard for Dingzhou in recent years." Li Qing said with a smile.

"If the lord has a strong opinion, it is an honor for the humble position to be able to work hard for Dingzhou and the general." Cui Yicheng said humbly.

"What do you think about the sale of salt completely cut off?" Li Qing asked.

Cui Yicheng hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Qing carefully, and suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart, "Sir, this force is trying to destroy the great general's plan to pacify the barbarians, and wants to defeat us economically. This is why this business war against us. The Lord has a decisive counterattack, which arouses the dissatisfaction of the people under their rule. I am very impressed."

Li Qing smiled, "Well, you seem to have something in your words?"

Cui Yicheng said: "Master, the salt price in the mainland has now risen to an incredible level. Many local government salts are struggling to support them. In fact, this is also an opportunity to make money. We can quietly get a batch of salt through some channels and sell them to those troubled local governments, so that these local governments can compete with salt merchants. At a certain time, if the Master feels it is necessary, we can just announce the re-sale of official salts, which can deal a heavy blow to these local governments and salt merchants."

"Well, I'll talk about this later. I'm calling you today to tell you that from today on, you will be the general manager of the salt affairs in Fuzhou. You will be responsible for the production, storage and sales of salt. In the past, all the salt affairs offices in Fuzhou were all under your command."

Cui Yicheng stood up with a cry, his heart pounding. In the past, he was only responsible for the private salt. To put it bluntly, a shameful private salt dealer under Li Qing was just to make money for Li Qing. But what Li Qing said now was that the salt affairs manager of the entire Fuzhou was completely handed over to him. Salt is the pillar of Fuzhou's salt production. If he controls this department himself, it almost means entering the core of Fuzhou's rule. Of course, it is also equivalent to entering the core circle of Li Qing's interest group.

"Are you willing to take this responsibility?" Li Qing said with a smile.

"How could Yicheng not devote himself to his work until his death," Cui Yicheng said excitedly.

"Yes!" Li Qing nodded, "Our salt blockade on the mainland of Dachu will continue for several months. During this period, you just happened to integrate the salt service department and strive to establish a refined and efficient Salt Services Agency in the shortest time. When we resell it to the outside world, all private salt will be banned."

"Of course, you might as well try the things you mentioned earlier in the past few months. Either don't do it, or do it more ruthlessly if you want to do it." Li Qing said.

"Yes, Magistrate, Yi Cheng will start to do it immediately after he goes down."

When Tang Hu came in, the two were discussing how to make the salt industry in Fuzhou be able to hold the salt industry of Dachu in a short time. Seeing Tang Hu's face in, Cui Yicheng, who was as savage, immediately understood that Tang Hu must have something to do, and it was a very urgent matter. He immediately stood up and said, "Today, he can listen to the teachings of the Grand Marshal, which is better than Yicheng reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles. How to do it below? Yicheng has already had some ideas, so he will not delay the Grand Marshal's time. He will leave with a humble position."

Li Qing smiled and said, "Mr. Cui is very capable, I am very relieved. I will ask you to go to Master Lu after you go down."

"Yes!" Cui Yicheng bowed, suddenly remembered something again, reached out and took out a small box from his arms, and smiled: "The Grand Marshal is about to get a wedding. A few days ago, Yicheng got something outside, which was quite appropriate. Today, when he summoned him, he thought of giving it to the Grand Marshal, but he almost forgot."

Li Qing smiled and took the box. When he opened it, he couldn't help but feel moved. It turned out to be a heart-shaped fiery red jade. The most precious thing is that the heart-shaped jade was divided into two pieces, and the two pieces were closed to form a complete heart shape. What's even more incredible is that these two pieces of jade were naturally formed at a glance and had not been carved by any artificial carving. It was worth a lot. I happily accepted it and happily stole Cui Yicheng's mouth. It seemed that his thing was really in line with the coach's wishes.

Cui Yicheng left happily, and Li Qing turned to Tang Hu just now, "Huzi, what happened?" When he saw Tang Hu's expression, Li Qing knew that something had happened.

Tang Hu talked about the incident that happened to Taohua Xiaozhu in a few words, "Master, at first, it was fine, but later, for some reason, Director Qingfeng and Miss Jiyue started arguing, and later they even had a big fuss."

Li Qing frowned tightly, "Didn't you hear what they say?"

Tang Hu shook his head, "Even the close-fitting maid was kicked out at that time, and no one knew what they were talking about, but Grandmaster, you can go and ask Director Qingfeng!"

Li Qing shook his head, "Qingfeng doesn't know how to say it. Could it be that Qingfeng has not given up yet and is still forcing Jiyue?" Li Qing, who was a little angry, slapped the desk table with a slight look on his face.

"Master General, after Director Qingfeng left, Miss Jiyue kept crying. Look?" Tang Hu asked tentatively.

Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "I have to figure out this matter. You can't ask anything from Qingfeng. When we go to Taohua Xiaozhu, we may be able to ask something from Jiyue. Qingfeng is really outrageous."

Li Qing hurried to Taohua Xiaozhu, and at this time, Shang Haibo was with Mingyan from the Military Information Investigation Department.

"You mean, Qingfeng and her sister had a complete quarrel today?" Shang Haibo asked.

Mingyan smiled and said, "This is the news I got there. It seems that the two of them have completely had a quarrel. I heard that Director Qingfeng had forced Jiyue to get married before, but was rejected by Jiyue. Is Qingfeng re-mentioned the old story this time?"

Shang Haibo smiled and said, "Qingfeng has always wanted to reach into the army. It seems that he has not given up yet. This is fine. Her fall in love with Jiyue can let the general see her true face better. This will be of great help to curb Qingfeng's ambition."

Mingyan said with some confusion: "Mr. Shang, Qingfeng is extremely intelligent. If she fails to do this once, how can she do it again? Will there be any other links here? I always feel that this matter is not that simple?"

Shang Haibo smiled and said, "Maybe Li Ling Zhihuo is the description of Qingfeng. You snatched away the military investigation department from her. From being squeezed by her and having nowhere to settle down to now competing with her, I believe that she has no way to vent her depression, so she came up with this bad note again."

Mingyan smiled, "The Military Information Investigation Department was first established. Compared with the Investigation and Statistics Department, I would like to ask Mr. Shang for more help in the future!"

Shang Bobo laughed, "Director Mingyan, you're out of here. The Military Information Investigation Department is under the military. We are a family. If you have any needs, I will spare no effort to help you."

"I have to thank Mr. Shang for this." Mingyan said with a smile.

"Qingfeng is not an easy person to deal with, but she is having a good time with Jiyue now, which is good news for us. I think Da Zheng, and it is not very ordinary to that girl Jiyue. I used to worry that the two sisters joined forces, but now I finally feel relieved. Even if Jiyue enters the Magistrate's Mansion in the future, with Qingfeng's personality, the two sisters will definitely be incompatible. And Jiyue is also very indifferent and has no intention of power at all. She just wants to stay with the Magistrate, so she can get along very well." Shang Haibo said.
