Hearing that Huang Jun's words seemed to mean something, Qin Bai didn't say his words, and asked with a smile: "Master Jun, what do you have to say?" ”

"Eat, eat." Huang Jun picked up the chopsticks again, and Qin Bai also fished out a cabbage in the warm pot. Huang Jun waved his hand and asked everyone else to retreat, leaving only Zhao Hao, who looked at Qin Bai with a smile, "Don't you want to think about it, can you hide it from others and me?" We eat salt, outsiders seem to be a few taels and a half catties for a few dollars, and those who don't know think it's a trivial business. But everybody knows that we, the Salt Gang, make a lot of money. Why? It's because you can't miss three meals a day. And your matches, one is a copper, who will not use it after getting used to it? And it's a unique business, there is no second one at all. ”

"We have a fixed number of boiling salt and drying salt at the beach. You also rely on the hands of the people to make matches. As long as there is a recipe, as many people can make as many as possible. You can have these amounts in just a few months, and as long as you are not stupid, you should be able to think that it should not be too difficult to do. Under this great tomorrow, the salt merchants in Yangzhou alone will be able to earn five or six million taels a year, and the long reed will not be less than three or four hundred taels, plus the well salt in Sichuan and Shaanxi and our leftovers, the total amount of money earned each year is estimated to be 12 or 3 million taels. Bai Er, if you sell it openly, even if you earn a penny per box, that amount will not be less than the entire salt market, which is also the number of tens of millions of taels per year. Hehehe, congratulations, our Jingjiazhuang will be the richest man in the Ming Dynasty? ”

There was no smile on Qin Bai's face. Unexpectedly, there was a caring person living across the street, and he tried his best to hide it, but he saw through it at a glance. Thinking of the dagger hidden in his arms, Qin Bai smiled slightly: "Master Jun, you are really joking." If I can make so much money, what else will I mess with? ”

Huang Jun smiled and was noncommittal: "Actually, you didn't do badly. Externally controlling the quantity, and also using retail sales as a gimmick. In the eyes of others, you can't see the inflow of white flowers and silver, only see the copper coins on your counter, and think that you haven't made much money. But there are smart people everywhere in the world, and they won't understand? That's sooner or later. Let me ask you, didn't the group of ringing horses from years ago come from wandering, right? I guess it's the one who grabbed your match, right? ”

Qin Bai's pupils shrank, and his expression became serious. Huang Jun waved his hand and let Qin Bai relax: "If you are a smart person, you should go and ask the third grandmother of your family to dedicate that recipe to the He Mansion." He Mansion can be eaten on the official surface and on the rivers and lakes, so he should be happy to accept it, right? Then you will give up all your present territory to the brothers who will not follow you anymore. Those who stay should be all your henchmen, and you can bring them all into our Salt Gang. Otherwise, the further back you go, the narrower your path will be. Maybe in the end, even our Jingjiazhuang is not enough to fill in the entirety! ”

To be honest, for a moment, Jing Jian really felt a little moved. What Huang Jun said is indeed reasonable, now it is like a three-year-old child holding gold to pass the market, and his self-protection ability is very poor. If you simply discard the match recipe and add it to the salt gang, most of the dangers can be avoided. But...... Can the Salt Gang really be trusted?

"What are you thinking?" Huang Jun asked with a smile.

"Oh, Junye, I took in a lot of women and children this time, I was wondering what they should do?" This was indeed one of Qin Bai's concerns.

may not have expected Qin Bai to answer this way, Huang Jun was obviously stunned, and then laughed: "You actually have such a woman's kindness, and now in the legends of the rivers and lakes, it is said that you are extremely vicious?" However, this matter is also easy to do, and when the time comes, it will be thrown to the He Mansion for arrangement, which is nothing more than a matter of a few hundred stones of rice noodles. ”

Qin Bai immediately came to his senses. Maybe Huang Jun really appreciates himself, but such a big man will never have the slightest compassion at the grassroots. The same is true for Hefu. Therefore, his own change of court means a death sentence for those people. Not to mention, he is actually still gambling on his character, after joining the Salt Gang, who can guarantee that everything will go well?

After thinking about it, Qin Bai still decided to take everything into his own hands. He smiled and declined: "Junye, I'm sorry!" Can you give me a little more time to think about it? ”

Huang Jun was a little surprised again, and his expression was also very interesting: "Bai Er, you should know that you don't have much time left?" ”

Qin Bai smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your kindness." I'm sure it won't be too long. ”

"Alright then!" Huang Jun had already understood, revealing a look of pity, "Do you know why you fancy you?" It's because you know how to be clumsy. I've seen too many people die on the word 'greed'. You can understand that, and you can keep it. In fact, just like we eat salt, our salt gang only needs to go to the two mansions, and never do other business. Sadly, by the time I realized that I should not be greedy, there were already many good brothers missing. ”

"Sorry! But I can't put some things down either. ”

"Do you know you're going to die?"

"That's right! But if you can not die in the end, don't you think it's funny? ”

The two laughed. Qin Bai suddenly asked, "Master Jun, there is a reluctant request. I'm short of money right now. Can you help sell some matches? It's better not to let people know? ”

Huang Jun shook his head categorically and said with a smile: "Our Salt Gang will never do any other business, let alone those matches of yours." To others, it is a mountain of gold, but to us it is Hades! ”

When Qin Bai said goodbye and left, he already understood that Huang Jun had his own pride, and it was impossible for him to beg him several times. And his refusal this time basically cut off this back road. And the future will be neutral, watching Yong win and fend for itself.

Seeing Qin Bai leave, Huang Jun also smiled and said to Zhao Hao: "Ah Hao, get ready and leave for Jinan." The imperial court has come to the new salt envoy, and the etiquette we should take is thorough. ”

Zhao Hao felt quite strange: "Godfather, why do you want to go in person?" Can you send someone for a run? ”

Shandong's salt transportation is generally more sad, sandwiched between the two major salt fields, has always been relatively weak, nothing more than the annual salt merchants give some common meaning.

However, Huang Jun shook his head: "Maybe it's not good." Do you remember the batch of ownerless Huai salt a year ago? There are also those villages in the south that have not picked up their goods for several months. And then there's the new salt carrier? Not so many coincidences. ”

"Huh? Which bastard is looking for death? ”

"Don't make a fuss. Maybe I haven't moved for a few years, and someone has forgotten my name. ”

"Godfather, what should we do?"

"First accompany me to Jinan to find out the details, and then we will run south! After so many years of calm, it's time to kill a few chickens. Ay! What about you! No one is willing to use their brains. It's a pity that Bai Er is unwilling! ”
