This soft confrontation against His Majesty Li Er was planned by the five surnames and seven families.

Their five surnames and seven families share the same spirit. For their own interests, they feel desperate to take advantage of their family and let His Majesty Li Er see the power of their aristocratic families.

Therefore, they carefully planned the closing of the salt shop and the price of salt soared.

Now all the salt in Shandong has been acquired by them and is firmly controlled in their hands.

They believed that as long as he controlled the salt, even if His Majesty Li Er could not surrender to the King of Northern Tang, he would have to have a long memory.

Not everyone can provoke five surnames and seven families!

Even the royal family!

This is the attitude of the five surnames and seven families, and this is their purpose!

They don’t want to rebel, but they don’t want to be bullied by the royal family!

Especially the King of Northern Tang, Qin Zichuan, even the compilation of the Xinhua Dictionary, which is famous in history, does not allow their five surnames and seven families to participate. Isn’t this a blow to the face of the great families of the aristocratic families?

His Majesty Li Er did not stop this ignorant behavior and even acquiesced!

This completely ignited the anger of the five surnames and seven families!

The soaring salt prices and closing the salt shop are their manifestations of their resistance to imperial power!

"Father, what if His Majesty is angry and embarrassed, what should I do if he takes revenge on our five surnames and seven families?"

Wang Zitao was beaten by Qin Zichuan and was bedridden for several months, and his courage was completely broken.

Now when doing things, I no longer have the arrogance I used to be. Instead, I worry everywhere, for fear of being beaten up again.

"Afraid of your hands and feet, can you make a big deal?"

Wang Yushou angrily scolded her incompetent son.

"The child is stupid, please ask my father for advice."

Facing his father's endless anger, Wang Zitao trembled all over and asked carefully.

"So what if Your Majesty knows that my five surnames and seven families are interfering in it? If Your Majesty refuses to give in, then we can take the opportunity to make a big profit."

Wang Yushou said confidently.

"Father, what if the salt from Shandong was transported into Chang'an in large quantities? If the salt merchants were asked to pay the money, they would probably bite us like a mad dog."

Wang Zitao said carefully.

"The son is not taught!"

Wang Yushou said that, and threw the teacup in his hand on the table.

"Shandong is far away from Guanzhong. Even if His Majesty wants to bring salt from Shandong to Guanzhong, it will take a lot of time. We can take the opportunity to make a big profit!"

"And as for those salt merchants, they are all human spirits, how can they be as stupid as you?"

Wang Yushou glared at Wang Zitao fiercely and said with regret.

Not only Wang Yushou, but also the patriarchs of the other major families, were full of confidence.

Making money is a trivial matter, and teaching His Majesty Li Er a lesson is the result they want most!

In their eyes, this salt crisis is something that no one can solve!

Even if His Majesty Li Er is the 95th Lord, so what?

Just as the heads of the five surnames and seven families were preparing to hold a celebration banquet, a group of people gathered together in the yard of the Northern Tang Palace.

Qin Zichuan ordered people to set up a big pot in the yard, and the ground was filled with salt mines.

In the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, this salt mine was poisonous salt and they would never eat it.

Only animals eat some in small amounts to supplement salt.

Now, Qin Zichuan ordered people to find a large number of salt mines, and they were transporting them to the Northern Tang Palace one after another.

The poisonous salt mentioned by the people of the Tang Dynasty is actually the correct name for this.

After all, this salt mine contains a large amount of toxic metals and magazines. It would be strange if people don’t get sick after eating it.

But in Qin Zichuan's eyes, knowledge is power!

It’s a piece of cake to remove these impurities and toxic metals!

Qin Zichuan ordered people to grind these salt ores into powder, then pour them into a water tank, and stir them quickly.

After a while, the clear water immediately turned into a turbid purple color.

"General, this is poisonous salt, you must not eat it!"

The old man reminded Qin Zichuan with one arm with great concern.

"It's okay, as long as I am here, poisonous salt can be turned into high-quality salt."

Qin Zichuan said confidently.

Although everyone was puzzled, they could only swallow what they said when they saw the faint smile on the corner of Qin Zichuan's mouth.

"Cover the wooden barrels with linen and pour the water from these tanks into it!"

Qin Zichuan ordered in a tight order toward the people around him.

As the turbid liquid poured into the wooden barrel, a layer of residue was left on the linen.

These are toxic minerals, after all, these things cannot be dissolved in water.

Then, the water in the bucket became much clearer.

Qin Zichuan used the characteristics of these magazines to filter them.

“Repeat filtering three or five times.”

Facing everyone's surprised expression, Qin Zichuan ordered again.

Then the people around him could not wait to filter them according to Qin Zichuan's method.

After five times, the water in the wooden barrel was already very clear.

"Twist those charcoal into the barrel."

As Qin Zichuan finished speaking, pieces of charcoal were thrown into the barrel.

After a while, Qin Zichuan reached out to dip some salt water, put it to his mouth and tasted it.

The bitter taste had disappeared, which made Qin Zichuan very excited.

Those toxic minerals have been filtered!

Next, Qin Zichuan asked someone to pour the salt water filtered by charcoal into a large iron pot.

As the flames rose, the salt water in the large iron pot boiled soon.

When the salt water was boiled, only fine salt as white as snow remained in the large iron pot.

"Let me come."

The old one-arm immediately stopped Qin Zichuan who was trying to taste it, dipped it a little with his fingers, and put it to his mouth.

"General, this is salt, the best salt!"

The old man slashed his mouth with one arm and shouted at Qin Zichuan with great excitement.

As the old one-armed voice fell, Ma Zhou, who was responsible for detailed records, couldn't help it.

He quickly tasted a little, and then his face was filled with incredible expressions.

He never expected that his master was so magical. He turned the poisonous salt into fine salt in just a few simple steps.

"Ma Zhou, now that my teacher has taught you the method of salt making, you will be responsible for boiling the salt next."

Qin Zichuan said with a smile at Ma Zhou beside him.

"Ma Zhou thanks for your teacher's cultivation!"

Ma Zhou knelt at Qin Zichuan's feet and said gratefully.

After all, the method of making salt is very simple, so Qin Zichuan did not use salt to make money from the national crisis.

More importantly, he only likes to make money from rich people, and as for those people who are struggling between life and death, this money is absolutely impossible.

A gentleman loves money and gets it in a good way, and this is the way to make money.

And those who take the opportunity to make money from the national crisis will inevitably be punished by God!
