In the manor, Lin Su and Lu Junyi sat opposite each other.

For this old businessman who has been on the battlefield all his life, Lin Su's national righteousness suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Soft is not good, and hard is even worse.

Otherwise, it will become an even more arrogant existence than the golden man in his mouth.

"What Mr. Lu said was really eye-opening for me."

Lin Su smiled, he had already thought of this.

After all, it is really difficult to get this businessman to come up with a large sum of money with empty mouths and white teeth.

In addition, the suppression of businessmen in the Great Song Dynasty was extremely harsh.

"Lu is just saying something from his heart, Guogong arrived at the cold house, he must stay for a few more days, take a good tour of the lake and mountains, the cook in my family, also have some skills, I have ordered someone to prepare some water and wine, but unfortunately I am too old to accompany Guogong to talk, so Ling'er will accompany me, if there is anything, just tell her to do it."

Lu Junyi smiled faintly, and immediately two servants came over.

With two sticks, insert them into the chair he sat down on, and carry him all the way back.

"Lu Guogong, please wait for me to change my clothes."

Ling'er's voice was still indifferent, bowed down to Lin Supiao, and hurriedly walked down.

In the courtyard, only Lin Su and Chong Qianrou remained.

"This Lu Junyi, although he is a frank person, does not support money and food, and ...... He also said that his legs were broken by Song Guan...... For the past two days, I have been trying to persuade him, but he has not been moved. ”

Chong Qianrou hurriedly told what had happened in the past two days.

She also lobbied Lu Junyi to borrow some silver.

But he has long been chilled by the rotten court.

As he said, whether it is Jin or Song, for him, it is just a change of buyer.

As for national honor and disgrace, he doesn't care.

"This kind of person is very difficult to change."

Lin Su did not despise him, but understood the meaning of his words.

Businessmen look at profit and will never be emotional.

can save this tens of thousands of family wealth, Lu Junyi is absolutely unusual.

It is not unreasonable to say that mercy is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of wealth.

"What then? Do you want to try someone else? According to my observations, there are several other salt merchants in this Jiezhou, although they are not as good as the Lu family, but it is better than wasting time here. ”

Chong Qianrou sighed, the business war made Lu Junyi already see through everything.

Ordinary methods are not good.

"Since you can't borrow it, you can't grab it, so you can only change it."

Lin Su shook his head.

This hidden Lu Junyi is the target of his borrowing this time.

He doesn't need to be replaced, he just needs to find a way.

"Change? In exchange for what? ”

Chong Qianrou looked at Lin Su curiously.

"Use your brain, but wait!"

Lin Su smiled mysteriously, he found a flaw.

It happens that what you have in your head can come in handy.

After a short time, Ling'er, who had gone and returned, had returned.

Changed into a black gauze dress, she still didn't smile.

"She is Lu Junyi's daughter-in-law, and she usually ...... like this Cold, I've never seen her smile. ”

Chong Qianrou lowered her voice and said to Lin Su.

After coming to the house for so long, she has always been cold.

"You two, please be seated!"

Ling'er let the two of them to the upper seat and sat next to them to accompany them.

It's just that she doesn't know how to deal with people at all, and she hardly speaks.

Soon, a table of banquets was placed.

"The taste of this dish is really good, I didn't expect that there would be such a master in Lu Junyi's mansion."

Lin Su had nothing to say, he still needed to know more.

But the taste of this dish is really good.

"Because the salt is good."

Ling'er, who cherishes words like gold, said coldly.

"Is there still a distinction between salt? Or does this salt merchant have a secret that has not been passed on? ”

Lin Su asked curiously.

"This is Western Xia Qingyan, not Song Yan."

Ling'er's voice was still flat.

"What's the difference?"

Having never paid attention to this aspect, Lin Su was really a little curious.

"The green salt of the Western Xia is as fine as sand, and the coarse salt of the Great Song Dynasty is like a stone, which is very different."

The righteous daughter of a salt merchant certainly has an understanding of salt.

This is a new thing for Lin Su and Chong Qianrou, who have never been in the kitchen.

"Is Da Song's salt coarse?"

In Lin Su's memory, he was still in the refined salt of the later generations, and he had no concept in his mind at all.

I only know that there was no iodine in salt in the past, so there will be a lot of iodine-deficient big neck disease.

"Bring the salt!"

Ling'er turned her head and instructed the maid standing beside her.

In a short time, the maid who had gone and returned came up with two plates.

The salt in one of the plates, blue and fine as sand, should be green smoke.

As for the salt on the other plate, it was all a piece of salt the size of a fingernail, which was produced in the Great Song Dynasty salt pans.

"That's what happened."

Lin Su pinched a piece of salt that looked like rock sugar, and he noticed salt for the first time.

"The green salt of Xixia is one or two or five runs, and the coarse salt of the Great Song Dynasty is one or two ten, a difference of a hundred times, so the taste is better."

Ling'er explained in detail, but there was no tenderness in her tone.

"The biggest trade in Western Xia, that is, green salt, and the imperial court forbade it to be shipped to the mainland, so even if it is Bianliang, it is difficult to eat."

Speaking of this, Chong Qianrou, who grew up in the northwest, hurriedly said.

At that time, the Western Xia was strong, relying on the trade of green salt, so the Northern Song Dynasty ordered that green salt should not enter the mainland.

"Then why doesn't Song salt be processed into refined salt and sold?"

Lin Su couldn't help but ask.

A hundredfold difference, that's a world of difference.

"How?"

Ling'er's rhetorical question made Lin Su stunned.

Could it be that they don't even master the purification technology?

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly smiled.

"Miss Ling, please help me find some carpenter's tools and wood, I have a gift for Lu Junyi!"

As if a door had been pushed open all of a sudden, Lin Su couldn't care about eating.

For this mysterious request, Ling'er has fulfilled all of them.

In a short time, everything was ready as Lin Su had requested.

"Alright, see you tomorrow!"

Lin Su took the coarse salt and walked into the house.

He is mysterious, and he doesn't even let him see Qianrou.

Because, this will be his bargaining chips to borrow money.

…………

In Lu Junyi's room, Ling'er recounted Lin Su's performance after the meal.

"Father-in-law, these days, the family is struggling with each other, we are tired of coping, this Lu Guogong's strength is very strong, why don't you borrow his hand and declare war with the family?"

Ling'er looked at her father-in-law with a worried expression.

And only she knows the thrill of this time.

"The horror of the family is far from what you and I can imagine, and the operation with deep roots for hundreds of years is by no means so simple."

Mr. Lu sighed and said.

Lu Guogong is just a newly promoted military general, and this kind of family that can influence the prosperity and fall of the country is not the same equivalent at all.

"But now that the family is struggling with each other, do we have to give up everything?"

Ling'er looked unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

The tentacles of the family have begun to threaten Lu Junyi's life.
