Farmer’s Blessed Girl
Chapter 3139 selling salt
When Thursday Lang returned, he had people pack up, and the next day, he arrived at the dock at the appointed time, and some coolies came forward to do the work.
On Thursday, Lang chose a few people to help carry things together.
Because it was the first time to go out to sea, although Thursday Lang didn't bring many things with him, none of the people were left behind. Unlike other caravans, when he got here, he would leave some guys behind and only bring a few on board.
Sanzhu and the others were also very nervous. After they carried all their things, they handed over the carriage and horse to Liu Gui to take back, and then they asked in a low voice, "Four... Four uncles, shall we all go?"
Thurou: "You don't want to go?"
"No, I don't think the other caravans bring many people. We bring so many people, it looks so fierce, it looks like we are going to fight."
Thursday Lang glanced at him and said, "Isn't this very good, it's not easy to bully when you look at it, and it just so happens that no one dares to bully us."
When the people on the boat saw that so many of them brought such a small amount of cargo, they guessed that they were going to sea for the first time. After a closer look, they didn't understand anything. I couldn't stop laughing, it was the first time I went out to sea.
However, Thursday Lang was not cowardly. He took a look at the precautions for the ship he recorded and said, "Find a boatman and ask where our cabin is."
What Thursday Lang said was right, although they looked like they were going to sea for the first time, but because of their large number, no one dared to bully them.
He entered his cabin, poured a cup of tea for Uncle Shi, and said, "We have few people, so people can't tell that we are going to sea for the first time? So there are still more people."
Uncle Shi took a sip and said, "Just be happy if you have money."
On Thursday, Lang touched a bag tied to his arm. It was given to him by Zhou Man. It contained gold and some money he brought from the capital. When he arrived in Jiangnan, if he came across something good, he could buy more. Earn money again and again.
Thinking about it this way, Chuu Lang felt relieved, not so distressed.
Bai Shan and Zhou Liwei brought people back to Jiawa, and sorted out the rest of the salt. Bai Shan handed the way to Nie Canjun, "Get someone to send it out."
Nie Canjun responded, picked fifty soldiers and left by land with the rest of the salt.
They want to send the salt to the Central Plains. In this way, the land and sea are separated, and any place that needs to rely on the official salt in the south of the Yangtze River can be replenished.
The people who purchased from the local government offices still stayed in Jiangnan and tried their best to buy some salt, but although they let go, the price was very high.
The money wasn't theirs either. The purchasing official hesitated for a while and didn't agree. He wrote a letter to send it back and asked his boss before making plans.
Such expensive salt, even if it doesn't make money, the people can't afford it even if it is given to the common people. In the end, whose responsibility is this?
So they didn't dare to place an order.
Their letter was sent back from Jiangnan. Although the distance was long, the delivery speed was faster than that of escorting Guanyan. Just when the officials in various places were angrily cursing the family of officials in Jiangnan in private, someone came to report, "Sir, there is Qingzhou Salt Transport. The people from the division came over and said that they were trading official salt on the orders of the imperial court."
The blue-faced Inspector stood up immediately, "Really? Where is the person?"
"I just entered the city, and I am living in the inn at this time."
"Come on, let's take a look," the prefect took two steps and felt that something was wrong, then stopped, "Go and invite people over and take a closer look at how much salt they brought."
A full fifteen cars!
The Inspector was very happy to meet people in the hall. After reading the other party's guide and official posts, the Inspector knew their origins.
Beihai County, Qingzhou, ah, Bai Shan.
The corners of the prefect's mouth were slightly raised, and a sneer flashed on his face. No one in the world knew that Bai Shan was the prince's companion, and he was the prince's confidant just like his wife.
Hmph, Jiangnan wanted to use them as knives, but they were already meat on the chopping board, and the prince's knives had already been prepared.
However, how did so much salt Baishan come from?
The prefect just thought about it for a while and then decided to ignore it, and said to the soldier who was escorting the official salt, "How much does the official salt cost?"
The soldier reported a price. The price was set by Bai Shan and could not be changed.
The prefect shook his head and said, "This can't be done, it's too expensive, it has to be cheaper."
Soldier: "...Sir, this is the price set by our lord. If your lord thinks it is expensive, then we can only leave and go to the next state."
He said: "Before we came, our adults told us that the price should not be a penny more, nor a penny less."
He added: "Our adults also said that if some adults think the price is too high, they can send someone to buy official salt in Beihai County, Qingzhou in the next quarter. The price is ten cents cheaper than the current one."
Inspector: "...Next quarter?"
"Yes," the soldier said honestly: "Our lord said that what is delivered now is only for this season, so a state can only buy three trucks of salt at most. In the next season, if we are to send salt, we will need to pay for each bucket of salt. Five more wen than it is now. If it weren't for His Royal Highness's life, our adults would not have sent it, and now we are short of people in Beihai County."
Before the selection, Bai Shan had told Nie to join the army that the leader of the selected team must be honest and loyal.
But Bai Shan didn't expect him to be so honest, and he directly told them what he told them in private.
The prefect dragged people to grind for a long time, but in the end he couldn't buy another car of salt, let alone the price, but it was really not much, not much.
He could only buy three cars of salt, and helplessly watched him leave.
Some people were very unconvinced, "Sir, what if we just detained the salt truck?"
It's not like they haven't done this kind of thing before, the things have been deducted for use, who can do what to them? It's not that they didn't pay.
The prefect glanced at the other party and said, "This is not an ordinary official salt, do you think it is from the past?"
"I've tasted it. Although this salt is slightly better than the one given by Jiangnan, it's still salt. What's so unusual?"
"There's poison in this salt," said the prefect, "The court and Jiangnan are fighting poison. At this time, we are not far from each other. You are still rushing to find trouble, and you are looking for trouble between His Majesty the Prince and the court. Live too long?"
"Then this salt..."
"Call our people back, don't waste it in Jiangnan, since there is salt in Qingzhou, then take it from Qingzhou, which is closer and cheaper than Jiangnan, hum, I want to see, we are all gone , who would want salt from the south of the Yangtze River?"
"However," the governor touched his chin, puzzled, "Where did Qingzhou get so much official salt? I remember that they only had one salt field there, and most of them were only enough for supply and demand in the state."
Someone said, "My lord, there was some specious news a few years ago that there was a new method of making salt by the sea, saying that it could be placed in the fields and grow salt just like crops."
Inspector: "...Do you believe such nonsense?"
See you tomorrow good night
