Chapter 560

"Ten million catties! That's nine hundred thousand taels of silver. Uncle, give me this silver and I'll have someone send you food immediately. And I promise that if the food can't be delivered, even if I have to sell everything I have, I will return the silver to you, Uncle!"

Qin Mang patted his chest and promised.

Nine hundred thousand taels of silver, if he took 10%, that would be ninety thousand taels of silver, and if he took 20%, that would be eighteen hundred thousand taels. He now felt that since he helped the merchants in the southern region sell so much grain, it was okay to take a little more.

The Sixth Prince looked at Qin Mang and became more and more satisfied. This child was really sensible and was very good to him, his uncle. Moreover, this child was very stupid. After he ascended the throne, it would be much easier for him to rebel!

Thinking of this, the Sixth Prince immediately ordered someone to give the silver to Qin Mang. Qin Mang took the silver back to the Southern Region, and this matter naturally could not be hidden from Qin Yu.

"Qin Mang is trading with the Sixth Prince for 10 million kilograms of grain at the price of 900,000 taels of silver. I've already set up checkpoints along the way and will absolutely not let the Sixth Prince get his hands on the grain!"

Xue Rongrong said in a deep voice.

"If we stop my Sixth Uncle from buying food, that would be like forcing him to turn against me. So, we absolutely cannot stop him from buying food. We must help him transport it!"

Qin Yu said in a deep voice.

"Hmm? Are you going to let him block it there forever? If the sea salt can't be transported out, the people of the fishing city will never give up!"

Xue Rongrong said in a deep voice.

"I will pay them every penny of their wages. Why won't they give up? They're just blocking the way like this. Let my sixth uncle know what a fire in the backyard means!"

Qin Yu said in a deep voice.

"There's a fire in the backyard?"

Xue Rongrong looked confused.

"Haha! Don't you know that my Sixth Uncle has no other hobbies but having children? Besides, none of his children are good!"

Qin Yu said with a sneer.

"Could it be that you deliberately blocked the Sixth Prince and gave him food in order to delay him and cause trouble to his fiefdom?"

Xue Rongrong was shocked.

The Sixth Prince has many sons, more than twenty. If the Sixth Prince is away from his fiefdom for a long time, these twenty sons may really fight to the death!

Once this happens, the Sixth Prince will have to rush back to his fiefdom to put out the fire. In this way, Qin Yu can easily defeat the Sixth Prince's 100,000 troops!

"Haha! My sixth uncle wants to fight me, but he's still a little naive!"

"That's right! We can't let those merchants off either. Have someone clearly record how much grain they sold this time, and then send someone to collect taxes. This time, the tax is 30%!"

Qin Yu said with a sneer.

With the Sixth Prince providing the money, he earned nearly 300,000 taels of silver without any effort. Is there any business in the world that is more satisfying than this?

Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, the Sixth Prince will soon discover that there is a fire in the backyard. By then, the food will not be eaten up and the soldiers and horses cannot be taken away, so he can only keep the soldiers and horses and food for himself.

"Inform everyone to cut off the last route my Sixth Uncle uses to transport food and fodder, and then continue to stockpile sea salt for me. The more the better!"

Qin Yu gave the order again.

Huang Qiuhu and others immediately went to pass on the message that the Sixth Prince had not been paying attention to the situation in Haiyan for a while. Anyway, his retreat had been cut off, and he now had food, so it didn't matter.

One hundred thousand troops were stationed at this pass. What he didn't know was that Qin Yu's asphalt road was almost completed. Once it was open to traffic, they could bypass him.

His escape route was completely cut off!

Several days passed. According to the time, someone should have come to deliver the silver, but no one showed up.

"Hmm? Logically speaking, someone should have delivered the silver by now!"
