Mrs. Peng had a smile on her face, and her mouth said: "God bless, God opens your eyes, this time my Peng family can survive the wonder?" “

"However, Mrs. Peng, don't be too happy, that person is amazing, and he is also a talent, but he is just a little stubborn?" Li Yan'er said with a smile, talking on her lips, but her eyes were looking around, and she found Yang Zheng by the pool, this girl blinked deliberately, with a smug face.

Yang Zheng shook his head helplessly, grabbed a handful of bait and threw it into the water, causing a flood.

When Mrs. Peng heard this, she didn't express displeasure, on the contrary, she was faintly happy in her heart, and she had told her intuition for many years, the more capable people are, they should be a little arrogant, Liu Bei looked at the thatched house, and Emperor Taizu invited Liu Bowen three times, these people are not all people with great skills, but they are not very good-tempered, this person has a strange temper, maybe there is really a talent of Kong Ming. nodded and said: "It's okay, my Peng family is really seeking talent, if that person really has real talent and learning, even if he has any requirements, my Peng family should try to meet him!" ”

Yang Zheng heard these words clearly, and a sense of admiration surged inexplicably in his heart, and he muttered: "This old woman, her heart is not ordinary broad-minded!" ”

When Li Yan'er heard that she and Peng Shuangshuang knew each other, they each showed a hint of a smile, Peng Shuangshuang stepped forward, took her mother's arm, and called out cordially: "Mother, that person's request is not ordinary?" “

"What's the matter, can you still ask for my Peng family?" Mrs. Peng said proudly.

Peng Shuangshuang said: "What kind of contract system does that person want!" ”

Mrs. Peng obviously heard of this for the first time: "Contract" was slightly stunned and looked at her daughter blankly. Peng Shuangshuang hurriedly explained, this time Mrs. Peng finally understood, Emei frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought, this "contract system" has advantages and disadvantages, but it is also difficult to choose, I can't imagine that this person can come up with this method.

Everyone's eyes fell on Mrs. Peng's body, Yang Zheng also looked at Mrs. Peng, you must know that now you have decided to stay for three years, if you don't agree to the contract system with Mrs. Peng, let alone Peng Shuangshuang begging him, even if Mrs. Peng begs him personally, he won't agree, he is a dignified seven-foot man, how can he be a slave for a lifetime, even if he dies, he can't enter his ancestral grave.

Just as Mrs. Peng was thinking about it, a maid hurriedly came over and said eagerly: "Madam, it's not good, it's not good!" ”

Mrs. Peng frowned slightly, and shouted, "Why are you so flustered!" ”

The maid was drunk by Mrs. Peng like this, and she calmed down a lot, and took two breaths and said, "Madam, it's not good, there is no salt in the back room?" ”

This back room is the kitchen of the Peng family, and when she heard that there was no salt in the kitchen, Mrs. Peng breathed a sigh of relief and scolded in a low voice: "You dead girl, reckless, I was almost scared to death by you!" Mrs. Peng muttered twice, and soon frowned again, there are more than a dozen people in the Peng family, there is no salt, how should this dinner be good, besides, this usable salt can't be bought back for a while, if you want to buy it, you have to wait until the official family opens a salt shop on the ninth of next month to buy salt, this is almost more than half a month, how to be good.

The ancient salt, since the Spring and Autumn Period Ming Xiang Guan Zhong implemented the "Guanshan Sea" in the Qi State, is about the earliest implementation of the salt and iron monopoly policy in the history of our country, which made the Qi State get rich quickly and became the first overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, although Guan Zhong was highly regarded by posterity, in the hundreds of years after his death, few people imitated his strategy of strengthening the country, except for Shang Ying, who was determined to change the law. It was not until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the central government became increasingly empty due to the conquest of the Xiongnu for many years, and the wealthy merchants of the people "smelted and boiled salt, and the wealth or accumulated thousands of gold, but did not support the urgent needs of the public and the people of Li", which discovered the extreme importance of minting money and boiling salt to the state taxation, which gave birth to the "salt and iron official camp" policy that was implemented intermittently for more than 2,000 years in Chinese history.

The so-called "salt and iron official camp" means that all the management rights of iron smelting and boiling salt will be returned to the central government. As far as the salt industry is concerned, salt merchants can only obtain the right to operate on the condition of paying heavy taxes when they obtain the permission of the government, and in the Han Dynasty, they were the great farmers. The Tang Dynasty was first the highest administrative body, Shangshu Province, and then set up a special salt and iron envoy. The power of the Song Dynasty was vested in the Taiwei Mansion. The highest administrative body of salt administration in the Yuan Dynasty was the central government Zhongshu Province. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, they all belonged to the household department yamen of Shangshu Province, which was responsible for the sale and management of official salt, but some local officials generally did not sell salt every day in order to save operating costs, but set a date for selling salt to sell salt goods. Therefore, the Peng family has no salt, and it will take more than ten days to wait until they can eat their promise.

Mrs. Peng frowned and thought for a moment, then said to Fu Bo: "Fu Bo, do you still need coarse salt in the house?" “

The so-called coarse salt is sea salt, because it is inconvenient to buy salt, so generally large households with a large population will store some coarse salt to take some precautions.
