"Head of the family, why don't we report to the official?"

The leader of the guards asked tentatively, what did he also find from the reaction of the head of the Wang family, as well as the words of Ma Liu and the others.

There is also speculation about the identity of Ma Liu and others!

Syllable!

The head of the Wang family slapped the head of the guard with his backhand.

"Confused, if you want to kill Lao Tzu's whole family, go to the official!"

"Don't you have a brain? If they are arrested by the government, what if someone from Qin Fenglu retaliates? Can you catch it? ”

"I'm sorry the head of the house, but I was wrong."

The head of the guard turned pale, slapped himself several times, and hurriedly said.

Wang Qinghai didn't speak, holding the box given to him by Ma Liu in his hand, and turned around and returned to the Wang family's mansion.

In his own study, Wang Qinghai carefully opened the box given to him by Ma Liu.

There was no mechanism in the box as he had imagined, just a bar of soap, a crystal clear and completely transparent glass, and a glass mirror.

Wang Qinghai's eyes froze, and he reached out and took out the three things in the box and put them on the table, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable luster.

These three things......

Let's not talk about soap, it is sold in the Four Seas Commercial Bank, it is a good thing, it is very easy to use, but it is a little expensive, but it doesn't matter if he has money, his wife and concubines are all using it.

And the glass and the glass mirror made him feel surprised and unimaginable!

Although he didn't know what these two things were, he could guess that they were priceless.

Wang Qinghai pondered, what did Ma Liu mean by giving him these two things together with soap?

Does this mean, like soap, can be mass-produced?

If that's the case......

Business opportunities!

Wang Qinghai saw business opportunities from it and saw that the consistent copper coins were beckoning to him.

If this is true, then it is worth thinking about whether to do business with Ma Liu!

……

It's the middle of the night!

The streets of Jingzhao Mansion became deserted, although the Great Song Dynasty was different from the former Tang Dynasty and the former Han Dynasty, and there was no curfew, but at night there were not many pedestrians on the streets.

Not to mention in the middle of the night, even the girls in the kiln had already stopped, and the streets became deserted.

On the streets, only the groomer still wandered around the city, beating the drum from time to time to remind people to be careful of the candles when the weather is dry.

A group of black-clothed people walked on the street, carefully avoiding the watchman, walking through the alleys and paths, and came to the Fulin Inn in the middle of the night.

Wang Qinghai, the head of the Wang family, wore a cloak that completely covered his face, and under the escort of a group of cronies, he went to look for Ma Liu.

His heart was moved!

Ma Liu said that he was very interested in talking about the business.

As for saying that the Wang family is a serious family......

In fact, it is not wrong that the Wang family is the most serious merchant family, unambiguous, with only money and interests in their eyes.

……

Fulin Inn, among the inns in Jingzhao Mansion, is not very high-end, it can only be regarded as a good inn, the only advantage is that it is close to the city gate, which is convenient to enter and exit the city.

So in the past, the business of Fulin Inn was also booming!

Even in the second half of the night, the Fulin Inn was still not closed, there were two big red lanterns hanging on the door, and a shopkeeper was napping in the inn hall, waiting for possible guests to come to the door.

As for whether people will enter and leave the city gate in the middle of the night?

It can only be said that anything is possible!

The Great Song Dynasty was not even guarded at night in Kaifeng City, let alone Jingzhao Mansion. The gates are open, and you can come and go as you please. (This is not nonsense, from Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Map", it can be seen that the gate of Tokyo City in the Great Song Dynasty is really not guarded.) ）

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that the Song Dynasty was beaten to Kaifeng City by 30,000 Jin people or 30,000 miscellaneous troops!

Wang Qinghai and his entourage walked into the Fulin Inn, Xiao Er and the shopkeeper were woken up, and just about to entertain the guests, they were stopped by Wang Qinghai with a wave of his hand.

Wang Qinghai took out a string of copper coins from a purse, slapped it on the table and asked.

"Shopkeeper, do you have a guest here surnamed Ma, I have something to do with him."

The shopkeeper rubbed his eyes a little confused, but before he could speak, there was a series of footsteps from the second floor of the inn to the stairs on the first floor.

"Haha, is the head of the Wang family here looking for me?"

Ma Liulang smiled and walked down the stairs, stepping on the wooden stairs step by step, making a series of crunching sounds.

Wang Qinghai glanced up at Ma Liu and nodded.

"Brother Ma guessed right, I did come to find you, brother."

"The head of the Wang family and I will come upstairs, let's go into the room and talk in detail, so that my brothers and your men are on guard all around."

Ma Liu said.

Wang Qinghai nodded and went down as Ma Liu said.

A group of royal guards turned around and left the inn and guarded outside the inn.

A few Erfengshan bandits around Ma Liu also looked around vigilantly from the room, while the shopkeeper and Xiao Er continued to nap behind the counter as if they were not surprised.

Wang Qinghai and Ma Liu entered the room, and as soon as they sat down, before Ma Liu could speak, Wang Qinghai said a little impatiently.

"Brother Ma, those three things you gave me ......"

Ma Liu waved his hand and said:

"Master Wang, I'm a rough person and don't understand those twists and turns, but I can tell you very clearly that we can make those three things and produce them in mass production."

Wang Qinghai held back his excitement and said with a deep breath.

"What business are you going to do with me?"

"Salt and iron."

Ma Liu said three words.

"What I gave to the head of the Wang family today can only be regarded as an addition."

But Wang Qinghai was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

The Great Song Dynasty implemented the system of salt and iron official camps, and those who illegally sold salt and iron were killed.

There is even a special official to set up an envoy to manage the statistics and distribution of the country's financial endowment, and there are deputy envoys and judges.

Yan Tie was the official in charge of the monopoly and taxation of salt, iron, and tea throughout the country.

The envoys of the Song Dynasty and the envoys of the household department, the salt and iron envoys, and the general leaders of the national financial endowment, are collectively called the three envoys.

These people are really bold, they don't know how many interest chains there are behind salt and iron, and they want to sell illegal salt and iron!

Snatch meat from those people's mouths and eat it, they are afraid that they will be torn apart!

"Brother Ma, you ......"

Ma Liu shrugged his shoulders and said excitedly.

"Why, don't you dare?"

The corners of Wang Qinghai's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly.

"Brother Ma, I really don't dare to gamble with my whole family's life, if it is...... I'm going to have to give up doing business with you. ”

"The two things of salt and iron are really too involved, and if we rush into it, we will be in the interests of others."

"Those people...... All over the government and the opposition! We can't afford to mess with us. ”

Ma Liu shook his head slowly and said meaningfully.

"Don't be afraid, we have knives."

Wang Qinghai was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking about the meaning of Ma Liu's words, and after a while, he understood.

Yes, they were originally playing rebellion, and they don't care what kind of interest chain they have, even if they offend the high-ranking officials of the Manchu Dynasty, what if they send troops to recruit them?

They are rebels, not afraid!

Even if they don't touch the interests of those people, they will be expropriated.
