Chapter 1536 - 84: Richness Undermines the Immortal Dynasty’s Foundation_3

"Do you know what I mean when I say you know something?"
"Yes, I know that you know what I mean when I say you know something."
"Speak human language!" King of Zhennan rolled his eyes.
"Yes, Your Highness. I understand that a group of Xuan Iron mine owners, led by the Wei Family, have been hoarding and secretly manipulating the prices of Xuan Iron," Wang Fugui said with unusual honesty, "Does Your Highness want to ask why I know this?"
"Actually, the reason is quite simple. I’ve compiled all the tax records of Wei Family’s mine production for the past three hundred years, along with records of mined outputs and the tax offsets of personnel and other costs. I created a big data spreadsheet. From the data, I estimated that their spending on offsets should be about thirty percent higher than what’s registered... From the anomalies in data, I calculated... Then I combined it with the tax records of other Prominent Families... and the efficiency ratio of labor..."
"Your Highness, that’s roughly what happened."
"...Simple..." King of Zhennan was speechless. He seemed to understand each phrase from Wang Fugui but actually didn’t get it at all. After staring in confusion for a long time, he barely squeezed out a sentence, "So, are you here to take advantage of the situation? How much better can you be compared to the Wei Family?"
