"Guarding the Ancient Fisherman Country? The coastline of this Ancient Fisherman Country is completely occupied by sea salt, with no convenient transportation. What's the point of me guarding here?"
"Besides, Qin Yu has already promised to sell all the salted fish to me and allow me to send people to fish here. There is no need for me to do this!"
The Sixth Prince said in a deep voice.
"Sixth Prince! Haven't you heard the news? Qin Yu can extract refined salt from sea salt and rock salt. Refined salt is purer than refined salt, and the cost is low. He can make a huge profit by selling it for thirty coins per pound!"
"If the prince guards the sea salt, then Qin Yu will have to act according to the prince's wishes. Then, the prince can buy refined salt at a low price and sell it to other countries. This will bring in thousands of times the profit!"
Yin Jiaolong said in a deep voice.
hiss!
After hearing what Yin Jiaolong said, the Sixth Prince's face changed drastically!
"Mineral salt and sea salt can actually be refined into refined salt! Qin Yu actually has this talent!"
The Sixth Prince was shocked.
"When I first heard about it, I also found it incredible, so I sent people to Nanli City to investigate and found that it was indeed true. Moreover, His Majesty also issued an order that refined salt could only be sold by Qin Yu!"
"So, Your Highness knows how much benefit he can gain from Qin Yu by guarding Haiyan!"
Yin Jiaolong said in a deep voice.
"Haha! Mr. Yin's idea is really brilliant. I don't need to ask Qin Yu for money directly. I can even spend money to buy his refined salt. He will definitely be grateful to me!"
"If I sell refined salt exclusively to other countries, I can earn a thousand times the profit. With this money, I can raise more elite soldiers. Then, all the surrounding countries will belong to me!"
The Sixth Prince said with a sneer.
He originally had the ambition to swallow the sky and wanted to rebel directly, but fortunately he met Mr. Yin, who gave him advice and told him to learn to be patient!
Instead of rebelling directly, it is better to annex the surrounding countries first, strengthen yourself, and then slowly plan to occupy the territory of Daliang!
"Your Highness is truly a man of great wisdom. I only gave him a few simple reminders, and he already came up with a complete plan!"
Yin Jiaolong praised the Sixth Prince.
This trick was very useful to the Sixth Prince. He said in a deep voice, "Since Qin Yu's acquisition of the Fisherman's Ancient Kingdom is beneficial to us, then I must lend him a helping hand. I will not return for the time being. In three days, I will personally come forward!"
The next day, when Qin Yu woke up, Huang Qiuhu came to report quickly.
"Your Highness! Yesterday, the people lined up to receive their silver, but only received a penny. They then tried to file a complaint with the palace, but were forcibly suppressed by the government."
"If we distribute silver to the people now, we will definitely gain their support!"
Huang Qiuhu said in a deep voice.
"No! The ancient fishing nation is against the poor and remote areas. Not to mention the common people, even those scholars are short-sighted. Giving them money will only encourage their arrogance!"
"Not only can we not give them money, we must also remain silent. On the day of voting, this prince only needs to climb a high pot to gain the support of the people!"
Qin Yu said in a deep voice, and then added: "Even the officials of the Fisherman Ancient Country have to support this prince!"
"Hmm? Will those officials also support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Huang Qiuhu looked confused.
The common people are extremely stupid, but the officials are not fools. When the Ancient Fisherman's Kingdom was still around, they were officials. If the Ancient Fisherman's Kingdom was gone, they would be just ordinary people!
"Haha! This will require some work from this prince. Go prepare some gifts for the officials of the Fisherman's Ancient Country and tell them that as long as they support me, I will still use them to govern the people!"
