"Helper, why don't we arrest the two of them, as long as we know the origin of this snow salt from them, we will send it in the future."

On a small road between the mountains, dozens of salt dealers carried burdens to form a long dragon, and in the middle of the area, Zhang Tianhao's brother Zhang Tianyun said softly.

"I tell you to use your brain more in everything, but you haven't made the slightest progress."

Zhang Tianhao looked at his clan brother, the salt gang he established said that it was the salt gang, but in fact, they were all members of his own family, the scale was not large, and the most reliable relationship in ancient times was this kind of clan relationship, after all, once there was something, it would implicate the clan, what to move the three clans, destroy the nine clans and so on.

At the beginning, Zhang Tianhao also relied on secretly selling illicit salt from the seaside to remote areas with a few people in the clan, and after he slowly grew bigger, he took the people of his clan to do this illegal salt trade together.

Because they are all people in the clan, everyone knows the roots, and they are all a family, so they are very reliable, and it is safer to do this kind of killing business.

"There is never enough money in this world."

"We have to learn to make more friends, not to make more enemies, the more friends there are, the easier the road to go, and the more enemies, there is nowhere to go."

"I can take you to make this deal, do you think it's really a ghost knife on the back?"

"I rely on Zhang Tianhao's righteousness, enough friends, know how to measure, and know how to share benefits."

Zhang Tianhao has a kind of hatred that iron does not become steel, this Zhang Tianyun is the son of his uncle's family, he is already in his 20s, he doesn't want to do things with his head empty, and he knows how to fight and kill if he has a little level of martial arts, which makes Zhang Tianhao very uneasy.

Originally, a village like Xiahetun, which was already very familiar and had a good cooperative relationship, did not need him Zhang Tianhao to come forward in person, and it was enough to send someone who was clever to come over and take charge.

But he still doesn't feel at ease, he will come over in person every time, thinking that he will be able to cultivate Zhang Tianyun and let him be alone in the future, and he will be much easier, but now it seems that it is in vain.

"This snow salt is to make money, we can earn about 300 wen by selling one pound of snow salt, and we can earn 20 taels of silver from selling 100 catties of snow salt."

"But this amount is still too small at present, 100 catties of salt, even the tooth sacrifice is not enough, I guess that Liu Xiucai should have found some special brine to be able to cook such snow salt."

"The output may not be too high, it is good to be able to have a few hundred catties each time, and we will earn dozens of taels of silver every time."

"For this bit of silver, we arrested these two people, one of them is still a showman, once the government investigates it, we don't want to do this business."

"Don't lose a lot of money because of small things, think a few more steps in doing things, especially take a long-term view, and don't be fascinated by the small profits in front of you."

"What's more, even if the output of this snow salt is okay, he only sells 200 wen for a pound of salt, and earns 200 wen for a pound of salt, and we earn 300 wen for a pound of salt, and we still earn the bulk of it."

"There's no need to figure out where this snow salt came from, and earn our fair share of money, understand?"

Zhang Tianhao sighed and said, this is the experience and lessons he has summed up in the private salt business for more than ten years, what money can be made and what money cannot be earned, he should know in his heart.

"I see~"

Zhang Tianyun nodded and said as if he didn't understand.

"This Liu Xiucai was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, and he may be able to soar in the future, and now after befriending him, he may be able to climb a big tree, then we will have a good life."

Zhang Tianhao looked at Zhang Tianyun, knowing that he didn't completely take his words to heart, and thought about it again and said.

"I see, you're paving the way for the future?"

When Zhang Tianyun heard this, he immediately said.

"What do you think, I spend thousands of taels of silver every year for the children in the clan to study and take the test, what do you think I am for?"

"It's not for the sake of our Zhang family to be able to produce a talent in the future, so that we have a backer, and we don't need to work so hard to secretly sell some private salt between the mountains and mountains, and then we can be like other big salt merchants, go to the salt field to get salt openly, and casually pass our hands are thousands of silver."

"You remember, be more polite to readers, and help readers who are in difficulty, if you can, these scholars are Tian Shelang, and no one can tell what they will be like in the future."

Zhang Tianhao nodded and said.

"I see, what should we do over there Tang Laohu?"

Zhang Tianyun nodded, thought about it and said.

"Tang Laohu, he is just a country bully, in my opinion, it won't be long before he will be cleaned up by this Liu Xiucai, this Liu Xiucai dares to ask us to sell salt, he has the courage, I'm afraid this Tang Laohu is really not his opponent."

Zhang Tianhao thought about it and said with a smile.

……

"Brother Jin, we have made a fortune, this is silver, this is silver, I have never seen silver."

On the other side, after getting the silver, Zhao Erhu looked very excited, and looked at it carefully, as if the silver had flowers.

Xiahetun is really too poor, even if everyone can cook salt and sell it, but every time he trades, Zhang Tianhao brings copper coins here, because he clearly knows that these people in Xiahetun only like copper coins, and silver is too big, so they never use silver to trade, even if silver is easy to carry.

It's like when everyone is buying and selling things with a penny or a penny, and you take a 1,000 yuan bill to buy something, others can't find it at all, and these people haven't seen any big bills at all, and they will be afraid of being deceived, and they will not be willing to accept it.

"It's good to have a little bit of interest, don't you just have a few taels of silver to see what makes you happy."

Liu Jin looked at Zhao Erhu and said with a smile on his face.

In just ten days, by refining coarse salt, he made a profit of more than 10 taels of silver.

Maybe everyone will think that these ten taels of silver are nothing, but if you connect the prices of this era and everyone's living standards, you will know that these ten taels of silver are definitely a huge amount of money.

At this time, silver from the Americas has not yet flowed into the Ming Dynasty on a large scale, and silver is very valuable, but it is not as good as when it is concealed, silver is often calculated in 10,000 taels, and ordinary people pay taxes to the point of silver.

Now the main currency is still copper money, and silver will be used in large transactions, because only these merchants, gentry and the like can know the quality of silver, the purity, the exchange ratio, etc., ordinary people, many people can not see a silver tael in their lives.

"Silver is very valuable, my father said, as long as my family has three taels of silver, you can marry me an aunt."

Zhao Erhu touched his head and said with a slightly red face.

"Haha, it seems that Huzi, you really want to marry your mother-in-law, follow me well, and keep you to marry a beautiful mother-in-law before the New Year to go home to warm the bed."

When Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh happily, I have to say that in this era, the people at the bottom are really poor, and you can marry a wife for 3 taels of silver, but even if it is 3 taels of silver, it is a lifetime for many families.
