"Your Highness."

When Wang Shijie saw Xiao Ming, he immediately bowed his hand and smiled flatteringly.

Xiao Ming pretended to be surprised and said, "Isn't this Brother Wang? Why are you here? What a coincidence."

Wang Shijie thought to myself that in order to wait for you, I was frozen in the snow for a long time, but he still said, "Your Highness, this shows that we are destined to be together. I have heard that your Highness has been staying in the door and never see guests these days. I have studied and studied hard. I never thought that today I would meet Your Highness when I took a casual walk."

Xiao Ming has actually been hiding from the Wang family, playing the tactic of hard to get.

It was snowing heavily in Qingzhou a few days ago and it was cold outside. He simply made an excuse to see no one. Wang Shijie came to him several times, but was blocked outside.

Especially since the Qin family made a fortune because of the drunk Qingzhou, Wang Shijie couldn't sit still and came here every now and then. I guess he would wait for him here as soon as I got the news.

"Oh, there is something like this. I was studying a new thing some time ago, which has neglected Brother Wang." Xiao Ming said lightly.

"Fresh things?" Wang Shijie was like a cat smelling fishy smell, "I wonder what kind of magical things your highness has invented?"

In Wang Shijie's opinion, the current King of Qi is obviously not the fool-in-law he used to be, but a person who is well-educated and has strange ideas in his mind.

They were naturally puzzled by this change, but the King of Qi was indeed the King of Qi, and they could only understand that he had learned some special skills.

This time, Xiao Ming studied hard behind closed doors and further confirmed this matter.

"This thing is amazing. This time the Qin family is very much in Zuiqingzhou. "Xiao Ming kept it in hiding.

Wang Shijie was anxiously scratching his ears and his face. Now it was not only him, but his father Wang Chengchou was also like an ant on a hot pan. Last time, Qin Le got him drunk with a few bowls of wine, and his favoritism with the Qin family was fooled.

He came back to his senses and wanted to find Xiao Ming, but Xiao Ming closed his door and thanked the guests again.

Now, no one in Qingzhou's wealthy family knew that the Qin family made a fortune, earning ten taels of silver with one jar of wine, and one hundred jar of wine, one round trip was 1,000 taels.

It is now said that Xiao Ming has increased his output again, and the Qin family is now free to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver a month.

Compared with Zuiqingzhou, although coal ball stoves and coal balls are sold well in Chang'an, the profit is not as good as Zuiqingzhou wine.

"Your Highness, you can't favor the Qin family this time. Qin Chuanyun's wolf ambitions, you may not know that before your salt transportation department was established, the Qin family was secretly dispersing salt in Dengzhou and selling private salt." Wang Shijie said anxiously. If the King of Qi continues like this, the Qin family will be able to surpass the Wang family and become the largest clan in Qingzhou within two years.

Qian Dafu looked at Xiao Ming at this time, with a solemn expression.

The laws of the State of Yu are very strict in selling private salt. Even if Xiao Ming does not establish a Salt Transportation Department, ordinary merchants are strictly prohibited from selling private salt, otherwise it would be a serious crime of scammering the house.

Although this is Xiao Ming's fiefdom, if this matter is exposed to Chang'an, even if Xiao Ming protects the Qin family, Xiao Wenxuan and all the officials in the court will put pressure on him to deal with the Qin family.

Wang Shijie is talking about this to him now, because he wants to kill the Qin family.

With his eyes narrowed, Xiao Ming said, "Do you have any evidence?"

"This foolish brother doesn't have it, but someone has indeed seen Qin Mu go to Dengzhou to transport salt." Wang Shijie affirmed.

Xiao Ming nodded coldly, "I know this. I will ask someone to investigate this matter. However, this matter is serious. I cannot just listen to your family's words. If you go back, I will have my own concerns."

Seeing that Xiao Ming looked ugly, Wang Shijie was happy. He did not ask for the destruction of the Qin family at once, as long as Xiao Ming lost his trust in the Qin family.

When Wang Shijie left, Qian Dafu said with a smile: "Your Highness, the Wang family father and son are very scheming. This is to provoke your relationship with the Qin family, but this matter can be used."

Xiao Ming suddenly laughed, "I like dogs to bite dogs the most. He wants to use this. I can use this matter to completely divide the Qingzhou tribes and divide the Qingzhou tribes into two factions led by the Wang family and the Qin family. In this way, I can get along with all the things."

"Your Highness is wise. Is it a king's way to control the word "control". By obtaining the essence, you can stabilize your own status." Qian Dafu was also a scholar before, but it was not useless.

"That's true, it seems that I should talk to Qin Chuanyun." Xiao Ming smiled like an old fox.

...

In the afternoon, the main hall of the King of Qi’s Mansion.

"Your Highness, slander, this is definitely slander!" Qin Chuanyun knelt on the ground, snot and tears.

Ordinary people in the Great Yu Kingdom don’t have to kneel down when they see the emperor. They will kneel down on their own initiative unless they make a big mistake or are grateful. This time, Xiao Ming called Qin Chuanyun to question the matter of private salt, and Qin Chuanyun was so scared that he knelt down on the spot.

"Get up, I didn't say I wanted to punish you." Xiao Ming said.

The reason why Qin Chuanyun was so scared was that selling private salt was a serious crime. If Xiao Ming really confiscated his family and destroyed his clan, he could not resist, because once he resisted, it would be equivalent to rebellion.

"Your Highness, Wang Shijie slandered people. He was the evil one first complained. After His Highness promulgated the military farming law, the Wang family not only did not cooperate with His Highness's laws, but also privately hoarded oxen and sold it to the people. They concealed the number of oxen from His Highness, causing His Highness to go to the King of Wei to buy it. Please check it out!" Qin Chuanyun said viciously, this was a complete hatred of the Wang family.

Xiao Ming thought to himself: These wealthy families are indeed not good things. They all disobey and do one by one. If the Qin family had not made a lot of profit this time and the Wang family was so angry, these two families would probably have to go back and forth without breaking the battle.

This time, I directly broke the relationship between the two families, so that they could not endure the death. In this way, they would destroy each other and act cheaply.

"This is serious?" Xiao Ming asked sternly.

The selling of private salt is still the same as before. After the ox plowing was promulgated by the law of military farming, the Wang family took the opportunity to make profits. Although the ox plowing belongs to the Wang family, they can buy and sell freely.

But how could Xiao Ming feel comfortable when he makes money in the country in such a state of trouble?

"It's true. I don't believe that Your Highness can go to the Wang family's manors in various states to investigate!" Qin Chuanyun said.

As the two were talking, Qian Dafu suddenly arrived at the gate of the main hall, and he said, "Your Highness, Wang Chengchou, please see him outside the door."

"This old guy was plotting to murder me first. Now that he saw Your Highness summoning me, he must know that his hiding of the ox is exposed." Qin Chuanyun said angrily.

Xiao Ming was secretly happy, and it was more appropriate for him to confront each other in the hall. He pretended to be angry and said, "Since that's the case, you two will confront each other in the hall."
