After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Seeing his parents' strange expressions, Niu Jinyi had an incredible guess in his mind.

"Dad, this military supervisor could be you, right?"

Niu Jinyi's classmates all looked over, their eyes filled with curiosity instead of fear.

Lord Niu decided to let these brats see the majesty of the imperial officials!

Lord Niu stroked his beard and replied in fluent Mandarin: "It is me, a humble person!"

Niu Jinyi blurted out: "Then why did you come just now? And why did you come to Huaishuo Town instead of Fuming Town?"

Mr. Niu's expression was unnatural for a moment, and before he could think of what to say, Mrs. Niu exposed his past.

"It's your father! When we were in Shuozhou, we heard that the Han people in Yunzhou and the grassland people had started fighting! Your father was very scared and insisted on staying at the post station under the pretext of heavy snow and refused to leave!"

When this matter is mentioned, Mrs. Niu gets angry!

A soldier is provided with food and lodging, and a few dozen coins are given extra! There are three soldiers escorting Lord Niu to take office!

The cost is thousands of coins a day.

Lord Niu owed several thousand coins for his crime!

There are so many ways to save this money, why waste it like this?

Niu Jinyi knew his father's character very well and knew that this was something he could do, so he couldn't help but laugh.

"Father, if you stretch your neck, you will be stabbed. If you shrink your neck, you will be stabbed. Since you have come to Yunzhou, you should first go to the governor's mansion to visit the general. The general is a humble person and knows your difficulties. He will not embarrass you."

Lord Niu's eyes flickered.

Madam Niu sneered, "Why else? Your father doesn't have the guts! You can't judge a gentleman by your own standards. How can the general be such a petty person?"

Lord Niu was not convinced and said with his neck stiff, "You are so brave, why don't you go to Fuming Town first?"

Mrs. Niu said confidently, "I want to try the Xia Family Restaurant mentioned in the Yunzhou Weekly first! There are also milk tea, tofu dishes, braised pork, and barbecued meat..."

Mrs. Niu knows all the advertisements in the newspapers by heart.

Seeing that the couple was about to quarrel in public again, Niu Jin hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Eat! Mother, eat whatever you want!"

"Teacher, why are you here?" When Xia Lezhi returned to the shop, he saw that all the teachers were there.

Niu Jin patted the dust off Xia Lezhi's shoulders and said softly, "Where have you been? Come here quickly to warm up."

Xia Lezhi sat down obediently: "I'm going to deliver food to the general."

Niu Jinyi: "Your stewed mutton is very delicious. The general will definitely love it."

Xia Lezhi nodded heavily and grinned: "Yes, the general said that this braised mutton should be made into canned mutton! In the future, the caravans will sell it to Kyoto, Nanjun, and the entire Great Zhou!"

The bearded merchant on the side interrupted and said, "Did the general say when he would start making canned mutton? If you start selling it, remember to let me know. I'll order a can for a few hundred yuan first!"

Shopkeeper Xia, who was attracted by the noise, smiled and said, "Big Beard, I know you like the braised lamb I make, but you don't need to buy hundreds of cans at once. How can you finish it?"

The bearded man was obviously very familiar with Shopkeeper Xia: "If you buy so much, of course you have to sell it!"

Guests at other tables asked curiously, "No, Big Beard, aren't you a salt dealer? This winter is the peak season for selling salt to the grasslands!"

There are few salt fields on the grassland, only five salt lakes in Lianhuachi at the foot of Helan Mountain.

The salt produced from the salt lake is slightly bitter and not as good as the salt from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But even so, this salt is a special supply for the Tatars.

If other tribes on the grassland wanted to buy salt, they could either buy it from their partners at a high price or from traveling merchants.

Both humans and livestock cannot live without salt. If they don’t eat salt for a long time, they will feel weak all over.

If a person loses his strength, he cannot protect the entire tribe.

Therefore, no matter how high the price of salt is, people on the grassland have to buy it.

Since the opening of the Yunzhou market, salt from the Great Zhou could flow into the grassland.

This is actually against the rules.

In the Zhou Dynasty, salt was equivalent to a tax and a monopoly system was implemented.

The imperial court purchased salt from salt merchants at the price of five cents per catty, and then sold it at the price of fifty cents per catty.

But Yunzhou is a special case! Yunzhou is an autonomous county that has passed the Ming Road and is responsible for its own expenses!

Since salt is a kind of tax, this part of the commercial tax is decided by the Yunzhou government itself.

Especially after many small grassland tribes were integrated into Yunzhou, it became more reasonable for Yunzhou to sell salt to the grassland people.

The bearded man sighed and said, "I'm afraid this business won't last long! Anyway, everyone will know it sooner or later, so I won't hide it from you. The Tartars threatened those grassland tribes and forbade them to sell wool to Yunzhou."

"What? Are the Tartars going to open a cashmere factory themselves? Who are they going to sell it to?"

"Hey, you are too naive. The Tartars are overbearing. It is clear that they would rather let the wool rot in their hands than sell it to the general!"

"Oh my god, it's only been a few years since the general last beat them up, and they don't learn their lesson? Have they forgotten about the general burning Chierle?!"

"If you don't punish him for one day, he will tear off the tiles on the roof!"

"The general is not a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied! The Tartars clearly knew that the general would not be able to send troops from winter to the end of the spring plowing season next year, so they did this!"

The bearded man said, "Of course not! How could the general suffer such a loss? So there is news that the general is going to tighten the sale of salt to foreign countries."

"Big Beard, you are so brave. The Great Zhou has always prohibited the sale of salt to the grasslands, but you have been selling it for so many years. Why are you so timid this time?"

The bearded man's eyes were as big as bells, and he warned the person who was talking fiercely: "If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I will tear your mouth off? When have I ever done such a thing? I am the most law-abiding person!"

Are you kidding? Are Yunzhou with a general and the border without a general the same?

The general is the tiger in the mountain, and I am just a little mouse in the corner, and I dare not touch the tiger's whiskers!

Anyway, Yunzhou is now active and there are many ways to make money. There is no need to go against the general.

Niu Jinyi and his classmates listened attentively.

Lord Niu couldn't stand him worshipping Gu Nanxi like this, so he coughed twice to attract Niu Jinyi's attention before pretending to be profound.

"My son, you must remember that if you want to get something, you must give it first. The general is using an open conspiracy! If the grassland people had not bought salt from the Great Zhou at a low price, they would not feel uncomfortable buying high-priced salt from the Tartars!"

"This is the policy for the grassland, and it is also the policy for Yunzhou! Which official would use his own money to build the local area upon taking office? Only Gu Nanxi would do this!"

"I understand, Father! The general is on the right path! As the saying goes, those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few. My son will definitely assist the general with all his heart!" Niu Jinyi was full of passion!

Lord Niu was dumbfounded. He just wanted to tell his son that Gu Nanxi was a black-hearted person! She was not as upright as everyone imagined. She was full of selfish motives!
