After understanding these principles, Xu Changqing felt that there was no other choice, and he became more and more devoted to Li Chen.

He took the initiative to come to Li Chen at this time and said, "The Liu family is quite special. Most of the other two large grain merchants are local wealthy merchants in the capital. They have been passed down for at least three generations, but this Liu family is an industry that the previous head of the family started little by little from the end of the year."

"Two years ago, the previous head of the Liu family died suddenly. Since then, the Liu family has been in a struggle for power and profit. However, it was Liu Sichun, the youngest daughter of the Liu family who defeated his two brothers and seized the power of the family. It is not easy to lead the family as a woman. The Liu family has been doing a prosperous business in the past two years, and it is mostly due to Liu Sichun's ability."

When Xu Changqing introduced it, Liu Sichun also led the members of the Liu family to Li Chen's carriage.

"Liu Sichun, please see His Highness, the Crown Prince, Qiansui, Qiansui, Qiansui."

"The young woman is willing to donate all the property of the Liu family to help the court to provide disaster relief and overcome difficulties, and only asks the Crown Prince to promise."

Liu Sichun looks very beautiful.

The skin is like cream, the eyebrows are as dark as distant mountains, the hands are round, black and white, as bright as stars, under the tall and straight nose, the red lips are like cherries, so delicate that people can't help but want to taste what the warm and soft red lips will taste.

In terms of appearance and figure, Liu Sichun, Zhao Rui and Zhao Qinglan are already completely women of the same level, but her temperament is the most special. While mixing the strength and snobbery of smart business women, it also has a very delicate feminine taste. The pure eyes are clearly black and white, but they are absolutely nothing to do with the word "simple", as if this woman's seemingly simple mind is never understood and cannot grasp it.

With what Xu Changqing said about Liu Sichun, this woman is definitely not ordinary.

Riding on the horse, Li Chen looked at Liu Sichun and said to himself: "Donating all the property is just for the sake of a promise from this palace? This is interesting, let's talk about it."

Liu Sichun knelt down on the ground, his expression still calm. She said: "The people's daughters have nothing to ask for, but only ask His Royal Highness the Prince to give him mercy and allow the people to act as a representative of the salt transportation qualification in the Gyeonggi area."

As soon as Liu Sichun said something, Xu Changqing changed color.

“Bold!”

Xu Changqing shouted: "Salt has been controlled by the government since ancient times. It is absolutely impossible for the people to manage the people's livelihood and the country. How can you let a private business woman run it?"

Liu Sichun's expression was still calm. She said respectfully: "Mr. Xu, the common people naturally know the importance of salt. They also know that since ancient times, salt has been monopolized by the government. No one can smuggle and sell salt. Otherwise, the minor ones will be sent to the army, and the worst ones will be executed."

"But what the people in the country want is not to sell salt directly or sell salt, but to buy salt from the government at a price of 10% higher than the market price, and then raise the shipping fee for it. The transportation of salt from other places to the Gyeonggi area is not sold in private, but only for the government."

"This does not infringe on the interests of the officials and the people. Instead, the officials can obtain 10% of the profits from it and also exempt the freight from the various places to the Gyeonggi. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

After saying that, Liu Sichun bowed deeply to Li Chen and said sincerely: "The Liu family, the family of the people, has a total property of more than 6.3 million taels, and is willing to donate all of them to the court."

Hearing this number, everyone around him took a breath of air conditioning.

Today, even in the most prosperous capital, the family of the Qin Empire earns at most thirty taels of silver every year, but the Liu family alone has a wealth of 6.3 million taels of silver.

This is not to say that wealth can rival a country, but there is no problem with a city.

Li Chen looked at Liu Sichun and said lightly: "Do you know that this time I came out, I will kill you three major grain merchants?"

Liu Sichen bit his teeth secretly and said, "The girl knows that it is precisely because of this that the girl is willing to spend all her family's wealth in exchange for temporary peace. However, the girl knows more clearly that if she is useless to the prince, she will not be able to escape death sooner or later. Therefore, the girl wants to prove the value of the Liu family. The Liu family is useful to the prince."

Li Chen was happy and smiled and said, "So brave. It's said that men are not as good as men. With this courage and courage alone, your Liu family will be better than the Hu family and the Chen family, and the like."

"I will not agree to you at first, but today the Liu family can avoid death. I will show you your plan in detail and limit you to the East Palace within three days. If you can impress me, the Liu family can stay. If you can't fight, it's okay to let the Liu family survive for three more days."

Li Chen did not kill Liu Sichun. He had known how much the power of business and economy would change society. If the Liu family was available, he would not mind helping the Liu family at all.

"Men, thank the prince's grace."

Liu Sichun breathed a deep sigh of relief, fell to the ground and said.

Li Chen withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Return to the East Palace."

When the prince's imperial carriage and the ceremonial guards left, the people around him all dispersed and discussed it, and Liu Sichun fell to the ground in depressed manner. At this time, she felt that her back was wet.

Behind her, a member of the Liu family came up to help Liu Sichun up and said bitterly: "Did the accumulation of the two generations of the Liu family have really been given out for free?"

Liu Sichun gritted his teeth and said, "I can't bear to let go? The Hu family and the Chen family can't bear to let go, either. You can see what they will happen."

"When the prince's invitation was sent, I said I could not go. You were determined to listen to Qian Han's words. Now Qian Han has been destroyed by his clan. You know it's amazing. If I hadn't sent a spy to inquire about the news about their two families in advance, I'm afraid our Liu family will be a disaster for the family today!"

The people around him looked sad.

"But we sent all our property out, and we didn't completely escape this disaster. The prince gave us three days and we transported salt at a loss. The prince may not have known that we have a private salt and salt mine under our command. This is also a death penalty. What should we do?"

Liu Sichun's beautiful eyes were firm and gritted his teeth and said, "If the court knows, we will die, but if the prince only knows it, it might be our Liu family's chance. Now the Liu family is already in a desperate situation, and they can only fight for it. The prince needs someone to stand on his side. We will just make a fuss about our own wealth and life... a gamble!"

Li Chen left the Eastern Palace for only two hours, but he killed the Hu family, the Chen family and Qian Han's whole family, and the total number of lives was hundreds of lives.

The subsequent impact of this incident shocked the entire capital.

When things fermented until Zhao Xuanji, it was already late at night that day.

As Zhao Xuanji's most complacent disciple and confidant, Qian Han's entire family was destroyed and had already touched Zhao Xuanji's bottom line.
