Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!
Chapter 42 The Private Salt Caravan
Over the years, as Yingzheng got older and his control over Daqin was no longer what it used to be, many people had thoughts that they shouldn't have.
And this time, Yingzheng's decisive action was not even discussed in the court meeting, including the salt making technique, and they didn't hear any rumors.
Meng Yi was even more resolute, and did not give those people time to react at all, and all the money-making tools that were cultivated secretly were all caught in it.
Among them, many officials were even found out and implicated.
"Master Shangqing, here is the list of the illegal salt sellers captured in this operation, as well as the list of materials seized this time!"
In Meng Yi's mansion, the men in charge of arresting the smuggling salt caravan came in with someone carrying a big box, and then reported to him.
The big box was filled with bamboo slips, and what was recorded on the bamboo slips was the harvest of this operation.
"so much?"
Meng Yi glanced at the box, somewhat shocked in his heart.
I really don't know if I don't check it, I'm shocked when I check it.
Yingzheng has been obsessed with longevity these years, and has long neglected the government. He never expected that the seemingly brilliant Qin Dynasty would actually breed so many moths secretly.
This happened suddenly, Meng Yi and the others only searched some typical ones, and they don't know how many are hidden in the dark.
"All those who sell private salt will be dealt with in accordance with the laws of Qin. Those who should be executed will be executed, and those who should be distributed will be distributed. As for the people involved behind the scenes, I will personally submit them to His Majesty and let him be punished."
Meng Yi waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to step back, then picked up the bamboo slips in the box and began to look them up.
After flipping through two volumes, Meng Yi was deeply shocked by the contents of the bamboo slips.
Not to mention how many people were involved in it, just the materials seized this time are enough to make him look sideways.
No wonder Zhao Che said before that the imperial court must personally come forward to control the price of salt within a stable range.
It turns out that the profit from selling private salt is so huge, it can be said to be a very lucrative business.
"These bastards are really harmful. They dare to raise the price of salt to the sky."
Meng Yi sighed and put down the bamboo slips in his hand. This is the result of one of the investigations.
The total number of salt teams captured this time was at least a hundred. It is conceivable that the amount of materials that can be seized is a shocking number.
"As it happens, a lot of money has been invested in the research and development of salt making technology and iron smelting technology during this period. With so much money confiscated, it can not only fill up the previous investment, but even have a large surplus."
Meng Yi said something to himself, and immediately called a few guards, ordering them to take the box of bamboo slips and enter the palace with him to face the saint.
Seeing the servants struggling to carry the big box onto the carriage, the rice paper that Zhao Che took out before suddenly appeared in Meng Yi's mind.
Sure enough, rice paper is lighter and simpler than the heavy and expensive bamboo slips.
This box full of bamboo slips seems to be a lot, but in fact the content recorded in it is only those. If it is written on rice paper, it may be as thick as a book.
"I'll have to ask His Majesty later to see if he can get the papermaking technique from Young Master, so that it will be much more convenient to record things in the future."
Meng Yi shook his head, and then followed the carriage to Xianyang Palace.
……
Jingshui Pavilion, since Li Liu and the others came here, Zhao Che has been much more relaxed during this time.
Li Liu and the others still have some cooking skills, and the basic skills are not bad, and a little practice is enough.
In terms of heat and seasoning, they have recipes in hand, and they also learn quickly.
Therefore, in just one week, Li Liu and the others were responsible for all the three meals a day in the house, and Zhao Che was finally able to relax.
It is enough to prepare special medicinal meals for the Chinese zodiac every day.
And this time, Yingzheng's decisive action was not even discussed in the court meeting, including the salt making technique, and they didn't hear any rumors.
