    "Your Highness, does he have some back-up plan?"

    Zhao Tingfang said with an ugly expression.

    Everyone looked strange, Liu Deng¡¯s expression just now was too calm and composed.

    "This is impossible! The maximum amount of salt that the imperial court can support him this year is only 30,000 shi. Even if Liu Heng is determined to support him, the next batch of goods will be at least two months later. How dare he still  Call on the military reserves?"

    Liu Xian knew exactly how much salt the imperial court had, because the output of the salt ponds in Guanzhong was limited, and he needed to buy a large amount from the princes and kings every year.

    Especially from the state of Wu, Liu Xian replaced Liu Bi more than once to handle the court's purchase of salt. In addition, the King of Wu spread money everywhere in Chang'an City, so of course he was well aware of the court's annual consumption.

    "Then where does this kid get the confidence to challenge us like this? He must not be trying to be tough with us, right?"

    Zhao Tingfang reacted immediately. After all, this was still within the territory of Dai State. If this kid was determined to fight them, there was really nothing they could do.

    "Don't worry about this. His country is small and the people are weak. Does he really dare to break up with all seven countries? If this is the case, where will he go to buy food from now on?"

    Liu Xian just thought for a moment and rejected this possibility. After all, it would be too crazy to break up with all seven countries at the same time.

    Even the King of Wu does not have the courage. After all, if the princes and kings do not unite, it will be difficult to talk about many things!

    "Then where does this kid have the confidence? Is it possible that he is bluffing with us?"

    Yang Sheng also hesitated. Now it seems that this is the only answer. This thing is really strange. It is not only Liu Deng who is strange, but also the officials from the top to the bottom of the country are all weird from the inside out.

    Originally, there were some people outside the palace, asking for orders for the people, but today, all the government offices in the country have closed their doors!

    Is there really any omission in this plan?

    ¡°Besides these princes and kings, where could Liu Deng buy such a large amount of salt?

    "I think this is the only answer. Don't worry about him. Let's just eat, drink and have fun. I don't believe this kid can even conjure salt?"

    Hearing what Liu Xian said, the atmosphere suddenly became heated again, and Liu Xian ordered someone to summon the singer.

    After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, the Uncensored Conference started again in the hall, and they were now truly intoxicated.

    Waiting until the next morning, seeing that these people still showed no regrets, Liu Deng waved his hand and started adding salt!

    "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Prince, it's not good!"

    Liu Xian is still hungover. Yesterday he was too indulgent. Drinking too much wine was harmful to his health. This beauty enjoyed it too much, and his legs are still weak.

    "What happened? How are you so flustered?"

    Looking at Yang Sheng¡¯s ugly face, Liu Xian almost vomited and said very displeasedly.

    "Your Highness, the official warehouses of Daiguo have begun to put salt out, and what they put out this time is all high-quality green salt, which sells for one hundred and fifty jin per catty! Everyone is open to selling, no matter how much you buy, they  Sell ??them all!¡±

    "What did you say!"

    After hearing what Yang Sheng said, Liu Xian was completely stunned.

    "How is this possible? This top-quality green salt, shipped here from our country of Wu, costs at least 500 wen, and he actually dares to sell it for 150 wen!"

    "This is really true. The salt seller also said that from now on, the people of Dai State can rely on their household registration to buy a pound of the best green salt at a low price per person every year!"

    The news came one after another, and the blows came one after another. Liu Xian felt that his brain was a little weak.

    "How much is the par price?"

    ¡°According to the price they announced now, it¡¯s 50 yuan per pound!¡±

    "This is impossible! He definitely doesn't have much inventory in hand. He sent people out and gave me all the money we had on hand to collect his green salt. I don't believe he can still produce salt!"

    Liu Xian couldn't tell whether he was scared or panicked. The best green salt costs 150 cents per pound. If this kid could really get so much green salt, why would he bother to contact the princes for a little salt all these years ago?  Don¡¯t you even want the king¡¯s face?

    "Your Highness, we only have 50,000 taels of silver left on hand"

    Yang Sheng hesitated to speak.

      "Go and wake up those people and tell them all the news. Either all the money we have before will be in vain, or we will risk our lives to get all the money left in his hands back!"

    Liu Xian said with red eyes.

    "But¡­¡­"

    Yang Sheng still wanted to say something, but his current flow was like a gambler who was desperate to lose. No matter what he said, he couldn't listen, and he only wanted to make money.

    This situation is actually very dangerous. If Gongsun Gui was here, he might be able to stop him, but if it were Yang Sheng, he really wouldn't be able to do this.

    "No!"

    Yang Sheng had no choice but to wake up the shopkeepers one by one. Everyone's expression was similar to Liu Xian's, because this thing was so unbelievable

    In order to increase his persuasiveness, Yang Sheng even sent his servants at home to buy 10 kilograms.

    Everyone was crowded together, looking at the salt in the bag. Everyone's face was filled with sadness. Zhao Tingfang suddenly had a bad feeling. No wonder Liu Deng's boy was so confident yesterday. It turned out that he was holding such a hard salt in his hand.  Trump card.

    But where did this thing come from?  There were so many people queuing up all over the city. Even if each person only bought two kilograms, the total would be a terrifying number.

    There¡¯s no way this thing could have been conjured out of thin air!

    ? One hundred and fifty coins per catty, and the people of Dai State can even get 50 coins per catty based on their household registration. This is simply incredible!

    "Take it back! No matter how much he has, take it all back!"

    After a moment of silence, Zhao Tingfang gritted his teeth and said.

    Thinking about the money they have invested before, everyone knows in their hearts that if they cannot force Liu Deng to commit the crime, then just like Liu Deng said yesterday, all of them will have their skin and bones removed!

    Their wives and concubines will all become slaves of others. You can imagine what means those angry princes and kings would use to deal with them if they knew that they had lost all their money!

    "But, I only have thirty thousand taels of silver left in my hand, what about you?"

    After getting angry, Zhao Tingfang calmed down. There was really not much money left in his hand. He had collected too much coarse salt before. That stuff was now all over the pits and grains. Where could he get it at that moment?  Where is the silver?

    Being reminded like this, everyone was dumbfounded. Yes, they really didn¡¯t have much money left in their hands (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
