Fan Hongdao walked around the salt pond for a day, and it was not until the evening when the sun was setting in the west that he returned to the Imperial Salt Inspectorate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info When he walked inside from the gate, he happened to bump into someone coming out, it was none other than Zhu Shufang, who was dressed in men's clothes.

Fan Hongdao was slightly surprised, but his face was as usual, and he arched his hand and saluted: "When did you arrive in Hedong?

When he met Fan Hongdao, it was not a surprise to Lord Zhu. Fan Hongdao is a member of Gao Yushi's side, and it is normal to meet Fan Hongdao in the procuratorate.

She originally thought that Fan Hongdao would show more or less dissatisfaction, and might even ridicule herself harshly, because she found Han Xiucai to cooperate, and in a sense, she also released Fan Hongdao's pigeons.

Even from the perspective of interpersonal relations, it is more taboo to propose to cooperate with Fan Hongdao first, and then find Han Xiucai without saying a word.

So Lord Zhu also made up her mind, no matter what Fan Hongdao's attitude was, she would endure it. But he didn't expect that Fan Hongdao didn't care at all, there was nothing special after seeing him, it was completely a normal acquaintance meeting.

"I have time to eat and drink together, I wish you all the best and get rich as soon as possible!" Fan Hongdao said a few words of greeting, and then politely said goodbye.

Too normal is the biggest abnormality, but Zhu Shufang couldn't help it, and called Fan Hongdao and said, "You don't want to ask me about it?"

Fan Hongdao replied very frankly: "Not interested!"

Zhu Shufang took the opportunity to apologize and said: "It's my fault this time, but I also have my troubles, and I ask you to forgive me, and when I return to the capital, I will apologize to you, and I will explain to you." ”

Fan Hongdao seemed to be very distressed by Zhu Shufang's words: "You really don't need to say much, I'm really not interested in it." ”

If Fan Hongdao sneered a few words, Zhu Shufang might be able to treat it calmly. But Fan Hongdao's indifferent attitude made Zhu Shufang a little annoyed, as if he seemed to be sentimental!

So she subconsciously asked, "How can you not be interested in me?"

Fan Hongdao's face suddenly became very strange, and he hesitated: "Isn't this okay? ”

Zhu Shufang came back to her senses, her face was flushed, and she turned around and left without saying a word. Fortunately, when talking to Fan Hongdao, the entourage was far away and did not hear her slip of the tongue.

Fan Hongdao watched Zhu Shufang leave, and he said that "no interest" was not a lie, but a reaction to his true thoughts.

He inspected the salt pond today and inspected the production and sales site of the salt industry in detail, and felt that he had gained a lot and had some new ideas.

So he looked down on Zhu Shufang's role, he Fan Hongdao is not a person who can't afford to let go, so he will say "not interested" very bluntly. Of course, taking care of women's emotions is not what Fan Hongdao is good at.

Seeing Zhu Shufang leave, Fan Hongdao was about to enter the gate, but someone came out again. Once again, "it's not that enemies don't get together", and they actually met Han Xiucai face to face.

Han Xiucai hurriedly walked out, and didn't stop until he saw Fan Hongdao. However, Fan Hongdao didn't have much interest in paying attention to Han Yanchang, and let half of his body go in.

Han Xiucai took the initiative to ask Fan Hongdao, "Where is Gongzi Zhu?"

Fan Hongdao nodded, and then heard Han Xiucai's warning: "Gao Procuratorate has instructed that Zhu Gongzi and the Yanyun Division are all in charge of me, and Friend Fan should not interfere indiscriminately, so as not to hurt the harmony." ”

Fan Hongdao was stunned, could it be because Han Xiucai heard that he was chatting with Zhu Shufang at the gate and was worried that he would "cut off" again, so he came out in a hurry?

This little family's mind is simply ridiculous, and Fan Hongdao can only be speechless. In the end, he still took into account the overall situation and said to Han Xiucai: "I also have a word to warn you below, this inspection of the salt industry, you should put Yangmou first."

Where you can use conspiracy, don't use conspiracy, otherwise it is easy to be smart and mistaken by cleverness, and our opponent is not a vegetarian. ”

Han Xiucai didn't care about Fan Hongdao's words, as long as he could be sure that Fan Hongdao didn't rob him of his errands (merit) (work).

When he was discussing with Zhu Shufang today, he heard Zhu Shufang say that she and Fan Hongdao knew each other. Immediately, Han Yanchang's mind was raised, lest Fan Hongdao take advantage of the situation and grab credit with himself.

Without mentioning it, it is said that the Ming Dynasty pursued a salt monopoly system, which was called the Kaizhong Law. Roughly speaking, the merchant transports the grain to the designated border warehouse, then obtains the salt according to the quantity, and then goes to the designated salt transportation department to pick it up, and finally transports it to the sales area for marketing.

Later, the method of opening the middle gradually changed, and the transportation of grain was changed to direct payment of silver, which is called folding. Of course, there are also powerful people who don't even pay the silver, and they directly ask the Son of Heaven for salt, and then realize the idea, which is simply a business without capital, which is the case with Zhu Shufang's 20,000 salt quotes.

It is said that the salt industry is deep, that is, there are many links in the chain of interests, from production to sales, from salt to salt, from salt to salt officials and salt merchants, all of whom rely on salt to eat.

For salt merchants, the most critical link is, of course, the salt branch. It is not a big problem to pay the silver and receive the salt from the household, but if you can't pay the salt, it will be in vain, or the waiting time for the salt is too long, which will also affect the capital turnover.

In the stage of waiting for the salt branch, there is a special term called "Shouzhi", and I heard that some salt merchants have not been able to pay salt for a year or two, so they go bankrupt.

Zhu Shufang and the county lord Zhu took 20,000 salt to bring it to Hedong, and he was not necessarily very sure, if he couldn't support the salt, the salt would be waste paper.

The reason why she is not sure is that this is a completely unfamiliar place for her, and everything has to start from scratch, and second, the amount of 20,000 salt is too much, how can it be so simple that it can be quickly withdrawn, which invisibly increases the difficulty.

And she knew very well that it was useless to play the temper of the powerful here, because the salt industry was completely controlled by the civil bureaucracy, and the imperial relatives and relatives had to follow the rules, unless the power was strong enough to directly exert pressure on the civilian group.

This is also the reason why Zhu Shufang is actively close to the salt patrol Yushi, with the official confidence, the salt industry can be good at dancing with long sleeves and ease.

The highest official in the Salt Transportation Department is the Salt Transport Envoy, and then the Deputy Salt Transport Envoy, who is generally out of contact and will not personally come forward to deal with trivial matters.

In the Salt Transportation Division, there are officials such as experience, governor, and terruma, and there are also salt factory ambassadors at each production site, and these people are the ones who deal directly with salt merchants.

Lord Zhu did not put on a show, but like a real businessman, he was diligent in visiting the wharf and frequently contacted officials from all sides.

Of course, those officials also had eyes, and they did not deliberately bully or make things difficult, after all, the people who could bring 20,000 salt introductions from the capital were definitely not small roles, and they could not be treated like ordinary salt merchants.

In the eyes of Zhu Shufang and Han Xiucai, everything went smoothly like this.
