Chapter 82 Xiao He Plans, Zhang Liang Executes
In just a few days, the people in Xianyang city had developed hatred towards those salt merchants.
The instigators of all this are Xiao He and Zhang Liang.
Xiao He came up with the plan and Zhang Liang executed it.
Zhang Liang has a deep resentment towards Da Qin, so he will never give Ying Yu a strategy.
Still, it's okay to let him do it.
After all, he also has concerns.
In Yuxuan Pavilion, Ying Yu looked at Zhang Liang in front of him and said calmly:
"You're quite efficient."
"My lord is absurd, I'm just a small trick to take advantage of some people's hearts."
The meaning of Zhang Liang's words is rather shameless.
The first batch of Yan Yingyu was not sold to the common people, but adopted Xiao He's strategy to deceive a large number of people.
After returning to the imperial study from Wang's house that day, Ying Yu discussed with Xiao He, Zhang Liang and others for a long time, and finally decided on a plan.
The first step is to spread rumors and build momentum so that everyone in Xianyang City knows that their salt is good and cheap.
In this way, the common people will surely loot wildly.
And those local salt merchants in Xianyang will definitely try their best to restore this situation.
At this time, the so-called great salt merchant in Hanzhong was killed and the goods disappeared.
In this case, a foreigner, holding huge wealth, died unexpectedly.
The development of the matter is basically in line with everyone's guess.
And Zhang Liang even asked people to bring salt, falsely claiming that he was the Hanzhong salt merchant and had the same salt in his hand.
In order to prevent being the target of public criticism, I plan to share the salt.
Combined with the cause of the Hanzhong salt merchant's death, most people will not doubt it.
Because in their view, the death of the big salt merchant in Hanzhong must have been done by someone among them.
Taking out the goods now is just pulling everyone to divide the risks together.
In this regard, everyone will only happily accept this cheap offer that fell from the sky, and will never refuse it.
After these people got the fine salt like white snow, they couldn't wait to sell it, and the price was twice as high as that of coarse salt.
And all of this was planned by Xiao He.
Ying Yu wants to popularize the refined fine salt to benefit the common people, that is to make an enemy of the salt merchants all over the world.
If he wants to sell fine salt at a low price, he will inevitably be unable to move forward and be hindered everywhere.
So under Xiao He's suggestion, Ying Yu planned to act first.
"Notify Ji Bu and Zhong Limei to implement the next plan."
"promise!"
Suzaku, who was standing behind Ying Yu, immediately went down to deliver the order.
Three days later, a convoy of hundreds of people appeared outside Xianyang City.
The two leaders are Ji Bu and Zhong Limei.
As soon as the convoy arrived in front of the west gate of Xianyang City, they were stopped.
Coincidentally, the person who intercepted him was Wang Li.
Wang Li didn't know Ji Bu and Zhong Limei, but seeing that hundreds of them were wearing armor and holding sharp knives, they naturally wanted to intercept them.
Wang Li glanced at the dozen or so carriages they were escorting, and said suspiciously:
"What?"
"General Qi, I am Zhong Limei, the cavalry guard, and I was ordered by Mr. Yu to escort the goods back to Xianyang. This is the order from Mr. Yu."
Wang Li was taken aback, Mr. Feng Yu escorted the goods?
Although Zhongli and Wangli didn't know each other, they had heard of it.
This one was also invited by Gong Ziyu himself, so he was one of his own.
But you know what you know, but you still have to check what should be checked.
On Ji Bu's side, he made all his subordinates drop their weapons on the ground.
At the same time, people uncovered the cloth and thatch covering the carriage.
Wang Li brought people over, and when he was about to check, Zhong Limei suddenly said:
"General Wang, the young master told you that ten carts of goods will be sent to the Lantian Camp by yourself as an armament."
Wang Li was taken aback, and looked at Zhong Limei suspiciously, how did the young master know that I was guarding the city gate today?
After thinking about it, he said, "Understood, but I have to check first."
......
Following Wang Li's order, the wooden boxes on the car were opened one by one.
At a glance, Wang Li's hands trembled slightly, and his whole body was not well.
It's all salt, and it's fine salt.
"General Wang, can I enter the city?"
Ji Bu looked at Wang Li in a daze, and asked.
Wang Li smiled awkwardly: "That's natural, that's natural."
After Ji Bu and Zhong Limei exchanged some polite words, left behind ten carts of salt and a letter, they led the convoy into Xianyang City.
Wang Li looked at the convoy going away, and always felt a little weird, but he couldn't say what was wrong with him.
After opening the letter, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He hurriedly greeted his subordinates and asked them to escort ten carts of fine salt to the Lantian Camp.
He got on his horse and hurried to his home.
At this moment, in the Wang's mansion, Brother Zheng is playing chess with Wang Jian.
But this game is not a war game, but a chess game.
Since playing a game of war with Wang Jian last time, Ying Yu made the chess game the next day after returning home.
Compared with wargame deduction, chess is obviously more popular.
The battle between the monarch and his subjects in the courtyard was fierce, and Wang Li rushed over in a hurry.
"The last general, see Your Majesty."
Seeing his grandson's impatience, Wang Jian said suspiciously:
"What's the matter? What can make you so panic?"
Brother Zheng also put down the chess piece in his hand and looked at Wang Li.
"Your Majesty, you should see for yourself."
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Shi Huang.
After reaching out to take it, Brother Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the content on the paper.
"Zhang Han, follow me to the street to have a look, this kid wants to mess with something again."
"promise!"
"Your Majesty, I will also accompany Your Majesty."
"The last general will arrange guards first."
......
His Majesty the First Emperor was about to go on a tour again, and Wang Jian couldn't calm down when he heard the news.
After putting down the chess piece in his hand, he quickly got up and followed.
when they came to the street.
The scene in front of him almost made Brother Zheng faint from anger.
I saw Jin Yiwei wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives on their waists, arresting people everywhere.
The people they arrested were the large and small salt merchants in Xianyang City.
What angered Shi Huang the most was that these Jin Yiwei actually pulled more than a dozen carriages and gave orders with arrogance.
"You, and you, line up and come up one by one to buy salt!"
One by one, Jin Yiwei gave orders to the common people on the street.
And the attitude is extremely tough, it is completely a posture of strong buying and strong selling.
"My lord, I...we still have a lot of salt in our house, no... don't use it!"
"Officer, I don't have any money with me! Can I not buy it?"
"My lord, our family has already bought salt this month!"
This front foot catches the salt merchants, and the back foot pulls the carriage to sell salt, but he still sells it by force.
When Shi Huang saw this scene, his body wobbled a little with anger.
