Father, I am back to fight!

Chapter 500

Emperor Liang looked at Qin Mang. To be honest, he also doubted whether this refined salt was really inexhaustible as Qin Yu said.

"Your Majesty! I think it would be better to have His Highness Qin Mang go to the southern border and conduct a thorough investigation. If it is really as His Highness the Crown Prince said, then we don't have to worry. But if it is different from what His Highness the Crown Prince said, we can stop it in time!"

Shangguan Xiong said in a deep voice.

He glanced at Qin Mang, telling Qin Mang, I have given you a chance to make a contribution, you must seize it!

Qin Mang immediately said, "Father! I am willing to go to the southern border to investigate!"

"Alright! You will go to the southern border to find out about the refined salt situation, and then report back immediately!"

Emperor Liang said in a deep voice.

Afterwards, Emperor Liang announced the adjournment of the court!

At the gate of the imperial palace, Shangguan Xiong stopped Qin Mang and said, "Second Prince, you haven't been to the Shangguan Mansion for a long time!"

"Haha! Lord Shangguan, your Shangguan Mansion is a noble and magnificent compound. I'm just a half-wasted prince. I can't afford to marry you!"

Qin Mang said with a sneer.

Shangguan Xiong heard what Qin Mang said and said with a smile, "Haha! Your Highness Qin Mang is still angry with me! My daughter Wan'er's engagement with the eldest prince was forced by the eldest prince!"

"If the Second Prince can accomplish great deeds during his trip to the southern border, he might be able to cancel the engagement."

After hearing what Shangguan Xiong said, a trace of resentment flashed in Qin Mang's eyes. He didn't expect that Qin Wu and Shangguan Wan'er were engaged not because of Shangguan Xiong's intention, but because Qin Wu forced them to do so!

"I understand what Lord Shangguan means. I will definitely perform well when I go to the southern border this time!"

Qin Mang said in a deep voice.

After saying that, he turned around and left. That day, Emperor Liang sent the imperial guards to escort Qin Mang to the southern border!

At this time, Qin Yu in the southern border did not know about this. During this period, he bought properties and opened salt shops in the county towns of various prefectures in Daliang, while keeping an eye on the construction of the salt fields!

This salt field covers an area of ​​10,000 mu, and there is a lot of waste from refining refined salt. Therefore, the drainage facilities must be built very well!

He had cement, so the first thing he built was the underground drainage facilities. After that, he laid the foundation and built the house with bricks!

The project was extremely large, and Qin Yu hired almost all the young and strong labor force in Nanli City. Therefore, a large amount of food was needed.

"Your Highness! News has come in from the surrounding cities that there is no food!"

Xue Rongrong, wearing golden armor, came to Qin Yu to report.

"Huh? How could there be no food? This is the southern border, the land is vast and the population is sparse. There aren't many civilians, and there hasn't been a war in years!"

"Even if the food production is not high, it is impossible for it to be consumed so quickly!"

Qin Yu said in a deep voice.

It is obvious that the noble families in the southern region do not intend to let Qin Yu gain a foothold in the southern region!

"What do you mean by willing? I believe you can guess. The people are very dissatisfied with you now. You should think about the countermeasures carefully!"

Xue Rongrong said in a deep voice.

"Hmph! What countermeasures does this prince have in mind? Since they are unwilling to sell grain to me, then I will buy it at a high price. Let's temporarily set it at double the market price!"

Qin Yu said.

"Double the price! Do we have enough silver?"

Xue Rongrong said in a deep voice.

They have a baby patch business, and they make a lot of money, but they can’t afford to spend it like this!
