Chapter 169: Changes in Situations and Responses
"Sir, if the cost of this batch of salt is included in the portion donated to the military, the total profit is about 100,000 coins!"

"I personally think that once the refined salt of my salt shop is passed on by word of mouth among the people, the profit will increase!"

Chen Ping spoke the horrifying content in the calmest and lightest tone.

If other people heard it, they would probably scream out in shock.

One hundred thousand dollars?
What concept?
The monthly expenses for an ordinary household are only about ten taels of silver.

And these 100,000 yuan are what many people need for their livelihood in a month.

But now here, it is just the temporary profit that Chen Ping mentioned.

But Ying Yuan didn't feel surprised at all.

"Well, this is not unexpected!"

"With good quality and low price, it is normal that it sells well!"

"By the way, is there someone causing trouble today?"

"Where are the people now?"

Chen Ping's mouth twitched slightly, forcing a smile, and then he spoke softly.

"If General Wang hadn't called in the Black Armored Army, we might not have been able to capture all of these rioters today!"

"I underestimated them. I didn't expect them to go all out and send out over a hundred assassins!"

"Now that all the criminals are imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, I'm sure the Royal Guards will conduct a thorough interrogation!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Yuan simply chuckled.

"Mr. Chen is really thoughtful!"

"It's just that you and I both know who is behind these assassins!"

"And since they dared to release the person, it proves that they are confident that we won't be able to get any evidence."

"Why do you go through all this trouble?"

Chen Ping did not refute when he heard this, but just explained softly.

"Sir, with such a group of people at hand, you never know when they will be useful!"

"It's just a matter of laying out one or two pieces in my spare time. It doesn't take much effort anyway!"

"Sir, are you going to the palace?"

"After all, General Wang has been of great help this time!"

Cao Shen, who was also attending this "private meeting", was instantly startled when he heard this and quickly agreed.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chen is absolutely right!"

"Sir, since General Wang has already taken the initiative, why not take this opportunity to strike while the iron is hot?"

"If you have the full support of General Wang, then in the future..."

Before Cao Shen could finish his words, Ying Yuan raised his hand to stop him.

"You are wrong!"

"General Wang changed his attitude today and suddenly took action. It was not aimed at me, the Sixth Young Master."

"In his eyes, let alone the Sixth Young Master, even the Young Master Regent can do nothing."

"He doesn't even take these things seriously!"

"He is just reasonably carrying out the orders given by his father!"

Cao Shen obviously didn't expect that this would be the final result.

He originally thought that by selling refined salt, he could not only make a huge amount of money, but also attract General Wang to his camp.

Now it seems that it was nothing more than the wishful thinking of someone like me who is not familiar with the situation.

Thinking of this, Cao Shen was not only a little anxious.

You know, although he and Xiao He were brought out from Pei County by Gongzi Yuan with a large army.

And he was granted the position of Nine Ministers right from the start.

But in fact, all he relies on now is the power of Ying Yuan, the prince regent.

This is extremely frustrating for someone like Cao Shen who is truly talented and capable.

He is still young now, how could he not want to make some achievements as soon as possible?

But he didn't expect that today, after finally coming up with a suggestion that he thought was the right one, he would get hurt again.

Seeing that Cao Shen's spirit had declined a lot, Ying Yuan was suddenly stunned.

Oh, I didn’t notice Cao Shen’s emotions.

Seeing that others were constantly making achievements and becoming famous, he remained unknown.

It's obvious that he can't sit still.

However, this mentality is not right, and I need to adjust it quickly.

Thinking of this, Ying Yuan angrily pursed his lips at Xiao He who was standing beside him.

Xiao He's face darkened when he saw this.

He doesn't want to do this hard work!
But when he saw Gongzi Yuan's eyes slowly narrowing, Xiao He was instantly startled.

He remembered that although his young lord was not very old, he had so many ways to torment and play tricks on people.

If he really holds a grudge against me, I'll definitely be in big trouble if I'm not careful.

Forget it, I can’t afford to offend you.

Immediately, Xiao He's face straightened, and then he said in a deep voice.

"Sir, what do you mean? Cao Shen certainly knows very little about the court, which leads to his immature words and strategies."

"But in the end, Cao Shen's thoughts were all for the young master's future!"

"Therefore, please continue to trust Cao Shen in the future!"

"Once he has a better understanding of the court, the military and other forces, and is more familiar with various affairs, he will definitely be a reborn Cao Shen."

"By then, Cao Shen will surely be the right-hand man that you can rely on!"

What Xiao He said was so righteous and just.

The image of a big brother is definitely that of a man who brings his younger brothers out to hang out and acts as a guarantor for them in front of their boss.

For a moment, Cao Shen felt warm in his heart and his eye sockets turned slightly red.

But Ying Yuan looked at Xiao He with a dangerous smile.

Damn!

It turns out that Xiao He is also an actor.

It's obvious that he performs these performances on stage quite often, including singing, reciting, acting and fighting!
Although he appeared calm on the surface, his eyes glared at Xiao He fiercely as a warning. Then Ying Yuan was about to discuss other matters.

Encouraged by his good elder brother, Cao Shen mustered up the courage to speak again.

"Sir, please allow me to speak. Cao Shen has something else to say!"

"Oh? Go ahead and tell me!"

Cao Shen was really more confident at this moment. He faced everyone with his head held high and spoke loudly.

"Sir, in my opinion, the Great Qin Imperial Salt Shop is now well established."

"With this salt shop here, the profits will naturally come in continuously!"

"Add to that General Wang's sudden action today. This is undoubtedly the military protecting our Royal Salt Shop!"

"In this way, the matter of the salt shop is completely settled."

Cao Shen paused here, as if hesitating.

Finally, he mustered up the courage to speak.

"You have the financial resources and fame, and you have already made all the other preparations."

"Then why not take this opportunity to announce in advance that the college has started recruiting students?"

"This way, we can save a lot of effort in other areas!"

After Cao Shen finished speaking, the entire hall fell into silence.

You know what, these people had never thought of this before.

After all, the start of school was planned long ago.

But now after hearing what Cao Shen said, it seems to make some sense?
