Three Kingdoms: Summon the Heroic Soul Yue Fei at the beginning

Chapter 486 There is an inn
Chapter 489 There is an inn
The reason why Lu Bing was in Mobei was a rule Ye Xiao gave him. Once Ye Xiao went to a certain place for more than two months, Lu Bing had to rush there. This was mainly to ensure that Ye Xiao could keep abreast of Jinyiwei's situation.

"Take this whistle and go out of the city, go to an inn, and then find the shopkeeper. Lu Bing will come out to meet you after seeing the whistle."

Ye Xiao said and handed a whistle to Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang took the whistle with both hands and then turned and left.

"Guest, where are you going?"

As soon as Zhang Liang went out of the city, he found a night train to go out. After getting on the night train, the driver asked.

"There is an inn."

Zhang Liang looked at the driver and said.

"Sir, isn't there an inn in this city? Why do you have to go to an inn so far away?"

The driver asked very curiously.

"The inn was opened by a friend, so I went to cheer it on."

The driver nodded when he heard what Zhang Liang said.

"Then guest, please rest for a while. This inn is a bit far from here. It may be dawn when you arrive."

"Then try to hurry up."

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, and after an unknown amount of time, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Guest, here you are."

The driver opened the curtain and called Zhang Liang in the car. Zhang Liang shook his head to keep himself awake.

"Reached?"

"Yes, it's ahead."

The driver took out the bench in the car and put it on the ground. Zhang Liang walked down on the bench and saw an inn in the distance.

"Guest, your friend's strength is also strong. There is an inn where the salt road is located. The salt merchants who come and go have to pass through here, but they have made a lot of money. Look at the decoration, tsk tsk tsk .”

The driver said with a sad face.

"Okay, I'm here, you go first, this is money for you."

Speaking of which, Zhang Liang threw some big money to the driver, and the driver left after taking the money.

Originally selling private salt was to be beheaded. You must know that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to resell salt and iron, and the salt and iron monopoly also created a lot of tax revenue for the Han Dynasty, which was also continued by later dynasties. .

However, it is not only the imperial court that sees the profit of salt, but also many aristocratic families. However, in the peaceful and prosperous times, they were afraid of the court's laws and did not dare to sell private salt, but there were still many people who took the risk and wanted to buy salt. To sell salt, after all, people can live without clothes or houses, but they can't live without food. As long as they eat, they need salt.

Therefore, in the late period of the dynasty, a large number of private salt dealers would emerge, such as the famous Zhang Shicheng of the Yuan Dynasty and the famous Tang Dynasty.

And most of these so-called salt roads are roads for transporting officials. Of course, private salt dealers will also take this road. The location of the inn.

Zhang Liang quickly entered Youjian Inn, and then came to the shopkeeper.

"This guest, are you staying in the hotel or playing the tip?"

The shopkeeper saw Zhang Liang's attire, he looked like a traveler rather than a salt merchant, so he sized him up and asked.

"I'm looking for someone."

As Zhang Liang said, he took out the whistle Ye Xiao had given him from his pocket and put it on the table. The shopkeeper's pupils constricted when he saw the whistle, and then raised his head to look at Zhang Liang and asked.

"What is your relationship with this person?"

"Tell him that his master is looking for him."

"Guests please wait."

As he said that, the shopkeeper took the whistle and walked towards the back hall. After a while, the shopkeeper came out, came to Zhang Liang and whispered.

"My lord, my lord Lu is waiting for you in the back hall, please go in."

"lead the way."

Speaking of which, Zhang Liang, led by the shopkeeper, entered the back hall, where Lu Bing was sitting there grinding something.

Zhang Liang walked in and took a look, and found Lu Bing sitting there grinding salt, he immediately stepped forward and joked.

"Lord Lu is very interested."

When Lu Bing heard someone talking, he immediately raised his head and found that it was Zhang Liang, so he put down the tool in his hand, stood up and said to Zhang Liang.

"This is all on behalf of the master. Let me open an inn here, and then collect all the private salt in this bag. Do secondary processing."

The reason why Ye Xiao did this was because he knew very well that these illegal salts were cheap, but they were very rich in minerals. If people ate them for a long time, it would cause electrolyte imbalance in the body, causing a A series of diseases, and they have been transported all the way over the years, must have entered Bingzhou and other places.

There are already a lot of borders and other places, and it would be impossible to let them eat this kind of salt after a war, so Ye Xiao asked Jin Yiwei to open an inn here, collect all the past salt, and carry out secondary processing to turn it into fine salt .

As for why Ye Xiao didn't crack down on the salt, it was because Ye Xiao was very aware of these private salts, and with his current strength, there was no way to completely crack down on them. After all, the place where the salt was sold was in Mobei and other places, and the origin probably lay in Xixia, etc. land.

That area now belongs to Cao Cao. Unless Ye Xiao destroys Cao Cao, the influx of private salt can be stopped, but Ye Xiao has no way to destroy Cao Cao with his current power, so what Ye Xiao can do is to minimize the inflow of salt , to perform secondary processing on it.

"Why is Mr. Zifang free to come to this wilderness?"

"Master Lu, don't play charades with me. You must be very clear about the purpose of my coming."

Lu Bing, as Jin Yiwei, must be very clear about the troubles in the world. He knew it when Zhang Liang left the city, but he didn't know the specific purpose of Zhang Liang.

"Mr. Zifang, don't be joking. Although I control Jinyiwei, but the master's side."

When Lu Bing said this, he hesitated to speak, and Zhang Liang nodded to express his understanding, because Ye Xiao established the most powerful intelligence agency, and Ye Xiao couldn't establish an intelligence agency to test his own intelligence, so It just means that the restricted area is where Ye Xiao is.

"That's right, my lord asked me to take you to see him."

"Did something happen?"

Lu Bing looked at Zhang Liang and asked.

"It's not convenient to talk about you here, I'd better talk about it on the road."

Zhang Liang looked at Lu Bing with a serious face, and Lu Bing vaguely felt that this matter was not simple when he saw Zhang Liang's expression.

"Okay, then I'll take a few people with me and we'll set off."

After speaking, Lu Bing was about to turn around and leave, but Zhang Liang stepped forward and stopped him.

"Master Lu, don't call anyone, only you and me."
