Chapter Twenty-Seven: Nothing to Do Goes to the Three Treasures Palace

Previous Chapter

Chen Jiping thought for a while, "People and horses can gather, the territory can be brought down, money and food, the little brother has a bit of a way, but I don't know if Brother Zhang is willing to do it!" ”

"Oh, let's hear it!"

"Big brother wait!"

After a while, Chen Jiping took a jar, and the bearded guest took it and opened it, and there was some white powder inside, "This is... Refined salt of the highest quality! ”

"Hehe, yes, the eldest brother should know the value of this salt, if I have an inexhaustible supply of refined salt, I think the money and food problem you need will be solved!"

"San Lang really has countless refined salts?"

"Exactly, I also know that there is a place where rice can be harvested three times a year, but the road is far away and difficult, if Brother Zhang can be the king there, it can not only protect my Huaxia clan from being violated by the Southern Regions, but also realize my brother's dream of letting the people have no worries about food and clothing!"

"And such a land of abundance?"

"What the monkey said, naturally, is it true?" Chen Jiping took the monkey again, he didn't want this person to build a country on the mainland or in the East China Sea, so he deliberately fooled him to go to the Southern Regions.

The bearded man tugged at his beard and thought for a long time, then slapped his thigh suddenly, "When I have gathered manpower and money, I will take the anointed land!" ”

"Okay, the younger brother will tell the eldest brother how to make money......

In this era, there is a distinction between official salt and private salt, and the operation of salt must be approved by the government and controlled by the government.

Now that the Sui Dynasty has fallen, his control over salt has been greatly reduced, and the official position appointed by Li Liang is called the Mutual Market Supervisor, or in layman's terms, the director of the Department of Trade.

In times of peace, this would be a fat job, but at the moment, it's really useless.

However, with this official position, the bearded guest can smuggle salt generously, and as long as he is not noticed by Li Liang, he can definitely make a fortune.

Doing these things is obviously not in line with the style of the bearded guest, but he hesitated again and again, but he decided to do it, because he harmed the public and private interests, and it was also the interests of Li Liang, a big thief, not to touch the moral bottom line, and doing so could help him accumulate money and realize his dreams.

"San Lang, that's it!"

The first time, he didn't dare to get more, he only brought 200 catties, even if he lost it, Chen Jiping would not feel distressed, he just wasted some time.

Sent away the bearded guest, and went to the mountain temple to see the god of Li Mu, "Can the god king help, there has been less rain recently, and the people can only starve to death if they have no harvest!" ”

Li Shepherd Divine Monarch smiled bitterly, "You think too highly of me, this rain is a matter of the upper realm, and I have no right to interfere!" ”

"Could it be that there will be heavy rain in the future?"

"Indeed, the world is uncertain, people's hearts are chaotic, this is the punishment of heaven that cannot be stopped!"

Hearing that this was the case, Chen Jiping knew that Li Mu Shenjun couldn't help much, and then asked about the three crops.

"The potatoes just have a little eyebrows, and there is no news about the corn and sweet potatoes yet!"

Hearing that the potatoes have eyebrows, Chen Jiping was overjoyed, which of these three can alleviate the food shortage, but he knows that this matter is not urgent, "Please also ask the Divine Monarch to bother more to solve the people's difficulties!" ”

"This god will do his best!"

The next day, he brought wine and food and a stick to see Sun Wukong, who was full of complaints, and also disgusted that it had rained too much recently.

"You have to bear with it, you won't have to suffer this sin when you get out of trouble!"

"I don't know when Guanyin will find someone to learn the scriptures, I'm really anxious to die!"

"At least we have to wait for the world to calm down, otherwise who will I use to educate the true scriptures?"

"What you said also makes sense, don't talk about this, I'll hand you over the stick method today!"

This day was regarded by Chen Jiping as his Good Friday, a set of monkey sticks was learned, and he was bruised all over his body, but he wanted to give up, but the problem was that the monkey did not agree.

"You rammer, such a simple set of stick methods, you haven't learned it for half a day, don't tell others that you were taught by me!"

"I don't like to learn, you want to teach!"

"Bang", there was another bag on the brain, Chen Jiping had no choice but to shut up, and secretly decided not to enter the mountain again.

Half a month later, the bearded guest came, and brought four subordinates, looking at his spring breeze, he knew that he had brought good news, "San Lang, the salt has been sold, in addition to the necessary expenses, I have earned one hundred and eighty taels of silver!" ”

"Nothing went wrong, did it?"

"Li Liang has suffered a defeat, he is in a hurry, and he has no time to care about anything else!"

"This is an opportunity, I got another five hundred catties of salt!"

"Okay, I'll take eighty taels of silver, and the whole number will be yours!"

"I don't have many opportunities to spend money here, just leave fifty taels!"

The bearded guest was not pretentious, and after a meal of wine, he and four of his men carried away the salt.

Chen Dalang is gone, there is no strong labor at home, the work in the field depends on Chen Laohan and Chen Yuanli, and the iron pillar can only be used as half a laborer, but there is occasionally a supernumerary Liu Boqin to "work for a short time".

Chen Jiping found that his treatment at home had dropped a lot, and whenever Liu Boqin came over, his two poached eggs would always be one less; Half of the food at home will disappear out of thin air;

and the cloth I brought from Qingshi Town last time, which was originally made for him, but it didn't take long to find that Liu Boqin had changed into new clothes, and his clothes were just an extra patch!

The outgoing girl is really true!

Chen Jiping was very helpless, in order to balance his heart, he turned the group instructed by Liu Boqin, Chen Erya would always come over and grab his ears at this time, and Liu Boqin was there hehe smirked!

On this day, he was making salt, a special stove, a special utensils, the efficiency is naturally not comparable to the original, and dozens of catties of salt can be made a day.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and I thought it was a bearded guest who came to the door, but I heard Chen Dalang's shout, "Ah Weng, San Lang..."

Chen Jiping hurriedly put down the work in his hand and ran out, "Big brother, why are you back!" ”

"San Lang, I'll accompany His Second Highness to find you!"

Chen Jiping saw Li Shimin with a smile on his face, Li Jing in a white robe, an elegant middle-aged scribe, and several guards.

"Little Divine Doctor, the people of the world came rashly, and it was abrupt!"

"Your guests are coming, you are not welcome, forgive your sins!"

Chen Liu and Chen Erya heard the sound and went out of the house, and when they saw Chen Dalang, they jumped up excitedly, looked back and forth, left and right, and found that there were no missing parts, so they put their minds at ease.

"Mother, this is the second highness of King Tang!"

The biggest official Chen Liu has ever seen is the town guard of Qingshi Town, and when he heard what His Highness was, he didn't know how to deal with it.

Fortunately, Chen Jiping broke the siege in time, "Mother, sister, prepare some wine and food, be hearty!" ”

"Okay, talk in the house!"

The Chen family has no tea, so naturally they can only greet them with boiled water.

Li Jing didn't need to be introduced, the two nodded, and Li Shimin personally introduced the middle-aged scribe, "This is the history of the march, and it is also Shimin's father-in-law, the eldest grandson Wuji!" ”

Chen Jiping couldn't help but take a closer look at the future Zhenguan minister, "Not bad, not bad!" ”

Splash and roll, cry and shout, ask for collection and recommendation!

-----------------------------------

"Doesn't the little doctor know physiognomy?" The eldest grandson Wuji is also very interested in this miniature version of the worldly master.

"I don't know physiognomy, I mean you're good-looking!"

"Uh, the little divine doctor is too famous!" The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly felt that the magical aura emanating from this body had collapsed without a trace.

Chen Jiping glanced at Chen Dalang, who didn't dare to look at him directly, knowing that he was exposed, he simply said bluntly, "Your Highness is here, you can't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, right?" ”
