Who knows, family members? The system was intercepted by the First Emperor.

Li Jiang looked at the noisy crowd below and quickly passed the small earthen jars one after another.

"It's not bitter! This salt isn't bitter!"

"Such white salt! It's actually salt!"

Some businessmen even pinched a handful and stuffed it into their mouths, which made Li Jiang frown.

"Waiter, let me serve you some tea."

【Isn’t it cool? 】

[These people have never eaten salt? 】

Not to mention the businessman was shocked, even Li Si and others were shocked.

What?Salt?

Does the king know this?

Oh, I must know, Zhao Gao and Meng Changshan are both here, and the king must also know.

How could the king allow Li Jiang to act like this!How can salt be allowed to be privately owned!

Li Si groaned angrily and was about to stand up to object. Before he could react, he heard the comments from the generals behind him.

"Damn it, this is my first time eating such white salt!"

“It’s not bitter at all!”

Most of today's dishes have an unspeakable bitterness, and some that contain plums will be both sour and bitter.

They are all used to this taste, and even think it should be like this.

But who has ever tasted salt that is not bitter?Still so white.

When the jar reached Li Si's group, Wei Liao looked at the snow-white salt in shock and did not care to share the same hatred with Li Si.

Dip some and put it in your mouth.

Even Feng Wuji didn't care and tasted the salt himself.

"You have all tasted it. Our royal salt is for you."

Li Jiang saw that Li Si had a sullen face and was holding the salt shaker without tasting it, so she didn't force it.

After taking the jar back, he continued: "This salt is consumed by the monarch of Qin every day. Think about it, can the sales be bad?"

"One tael of coarse salt is worth 1 bucks. This royal salt is priced at 10 bucks for one tael. As for how capable you are and how much you sold it for, I don't care."

"For the first batch of goods, I will let each of you take away 1 Jun."

(1 Jun is equal to 30 pounds)

As soon as the price was announced, everyone fell silent.

At this price...is it really salt?

"Are you worried that you won't be able to sell it?"

Li Jiang looked at the silent crowd and singled out a fat businessman from the crowd.

"This salt. Will you buy it?"

The man blinked his little eyes that were squeezed by the flesh: "Sir, I definitely want to buy it."

"But this...people can't afford it..."

"Yeah yeah…"

Li Jiang rolled his eyes: "Who told you to betray the people?"

"They are the ones I asked you to sell."

Li Jiang pointed at the officials on the other side: "Sell to officials, sell to businessmen like you, sell to officials in other countries, and businessmen, buy to relatives of other kings."

"If you are more courageous, you can go to the Xiongnu or do business outside the customs."

Li Jiang knew that not all these merchants were from Qin.

But it doesn’t matter what country it is, money, food, and seeds are the main things.

"The auction begins now."

Li Jiang took out the names of the cities and counties calculated: "The first one is Youbeiping County, which is adjacent to Dai Kingdom and Yan Kingdom. It has been a business for ten years. The current bidding price is 100 gold."

"110 gold."

"111 gold!"

"..."

In the end, Youbeiping County was auctioned by a businessman named Hu for 128 gold.

Once you have the beginning, it will be easy to bid for the rest.

Li Si's expression went from gloomy, to surprised, and finally to incredibly numb.

How could these businessmen be so rich?

"Yingchuan County! The base price is 100 gold!"

"..."

Li Jiang felt happy.

【Oh my God!So much money!Two percent of it is mine! ! ! ! 】

【Get rich, get rich! ! 】

[Should I buy a big house and hire a bunch of people to serve me? 】

[Or buy a manor? 】

Some smaller and more ordinary counties were auctioned off for a hundred and ten gold, while other border counties or large counties were auctioned off at relatively high prices.

Li Jiang asked the person who took the photo to pay a deposit, and he would pay the rest when he picked up the goods.

Nowadays, some seats have been vacant for people sitting in the lobby.

The rest of the people were waiting for the Imperial Merchant of Xianyang City, or waiting to see if there was anything they could miss.

"The next step is Xianyang City."

"The base price of Xianyang City is 200 gold."

Being able to sell such royal salt, and being under the imperial city, is tantamount to a big piece of fat hanging in front of them.

The gap between the rich and the poor in Xianyang City is large, with most military generals and many civil servants.

How many generals are there?The most money!

They led their troops to fight, captured a city, shared some money with each other, and handed the rest to Ying Zheng.

It is conceivable that Xianyang city lacks everything except rich people.

"Do you want to work together to win it?"

Zhang Han slapped Zhao Tuo next to him with his arm.

The two have a good personal relationship, and they are both generals in the Qin reserve team.

Generally, the battles are between Wang Jian, Xin Sheng or Meng Wu, with two of them playing the main role and one supporting the other.

Although they picked up the slack behind the scenes and saved a lot of money, who can complain about the lack of money?

In the past, my business status was not well-known, and if I spoke about it, it would make people laugh, and there were many restrictions.

But it's different now. Now that Li Jiang has made this move, as long as they win the imperial merchant, they can sell anything.

What's more, Zhang Han didn't believe that the people present were not moved by this salt.

Anyone in Xianyang City wants to eat this royal salt!

You can only buy it in Xianyang City. Who would go to other counties to buy salt?

Zhang Han can figure it out, and everyone present can figure it out.

So Zhao Tuo looked at Zhang Han: "How to divide?"

"The profit is [-]-[-], and the money paid is also [-]-[-]."

Zhao Tuo calculated his family fortune and nodded: "Okay!"

Feng Quji, Feng Jie, and Wang Wan in front were also discussing this matter in low voices.

Of the three of them, only Feng Jie had been to the battlefield and his family had some money.

So the three of them had to pool their money and share it equally.

"Start bidding for the Xianyang City Royal Company now."

Seeing that everyone had similar plans, Li Jiang announced that he would start bidding for Xianyang City's business names.

"I will offer you 201 gold!"

Zhang Han shouted the price loudly as soon as Li Jiang finished speaking and before others could react.

Li Si turned around in disbelief, what happened?

Before coming here, didn’t they share the same hatred as him, thinking that how could one do business while being an official?

Why are you defecting now?

As soon as the word "official" came out, all the eager businessmen fell silent.

In other words, they dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Li Jiang was also angry, angry that these people would not pay and were disrupting the situation.

【Is there something wrong?Come to cause trouble? 】

[You didn’t even pay the admission fee, so you just said you want to bid? 】

[Obviously Xianyang City can get the best price, but you tell me that you will pay an extra gold? 】

[Return to my original position?Brother Zheng knows that you use your power to suppress others.Will delaying Brother Zheng make money? 】

"My lords, if I remember correctly, you haven't even paid the admission fee, so how can you bid?"

Li Jiang raised his head towards the gatekeeper: "If you want to bid, just follow the rules. Pay 100 gold first."
