It was already cold, and the wind was howling. The Shining Salt Farm is on track. After several months of training, Liu Kuan can fully control the operation of the entire salt farm. During this time, he was very busy, not only to manage the salt works, but also to buy the salt produced by the various salt works.

Sure enough, as Li Dongsheng expected, everyone rushed to invest in the salt farm, and the salt produced every day was counted in how many loads, but there were not so many people to consume this grade of salt, and the price fell all the way. Many salt factory owners are worried, what should I do? The money invested in the early stage is related to labor or something, and the cost has not been returned.

Liu Kuan made a bid at this time, and he bought Haiyan with a lot of money, and he received as much as he wanted. This news simply gave the owner of the salt works a shot in the arm. The next day, he brought the salt to the horse cart. Liu Kuan was not ambiguous, he took the money directly at the door, and paid the money with a frame after weighing, and used silk if he wanted silk, and the bosses of the major salt farms shouted: "Boss Liu, do you want it in the future?" ”

Liu Kuan waved his hand: "How much you want, settle the account in cash, not bad money." ”

"What the hell is this bastard trying to do?" It was Manager Kong who spoke, and he was in a very bad mood: "What else is our business going to do?" Childe's expenses come from here, and now the price is so transparent by him, there is no way to over-report, how to get it? ”

"Lord Steward, do you want us to do something in their salt?" The one who spoke was the fat man who took the lead in making trouble, and there was hatred in his words. Flash Dance

"You know how to do some things, and you don't have any brains. You don't see that those fishermen now look at this salt farm and warehouse like eyeballs, this is their lifeblood, you can guarantee that you will not be discovered, if you are found, you will not be able to come back. Steward Kong turned around a few times with his hands behind his back: "What's the use of them collecting so much salt?" ”

"I heard from our people that they have built a new workshop, and in the county seat of Ye County, where is all the salt sent." The fat man said, "Will you make something else?" ”

"You go and look around and see what that workshop is for? And tell Childe about this, it's not that we don't care, it's that now the technology of salt is spreading, there is too much salt, and the price can't be sold. ”

Li Dongsheng can't be idle at this time, there are many things in the county order, such as after this autumn harvest, it is the traditional time to repair water conservancy, this time to take advantage of the low water level to repair water conservancy, and it will be much easier when it comes to spring ploughing. He took Jin Rong and their servants to the village every day to organize the villagers to dig soil and fertile fields, dredge the river, this attitude of going deep into the grassroots has been loved by the villagers, so many years have really not seen the county master who worked, eats, and drank water with them, not to mention that he was still so young.

After this while, the snow fell down. But this year's winter is not too difficult. One is that with honeycomb coal, which is a cold artifact, everyone prepared relatively early, and now they are heating at home. The second has the output of the salt farm, and many people have spare money in their hands to buy something to keep out the cold.

Li Dongsheng also nested in the county office, lit the stove and drank water, leisurely looking at the case file, Shang Cheng and Wang San were playing chess, Zhou Ning was not there, it is estimated that he went to the salt workshop again, and now the workshop is handed over to him, he is very attentive, and the security is very good, and he specially found dozens of trustworthy brothers from Chang'an to do things. The rest of the people are not allowed to enter or leave.

Li Dongsheng, who was leaning on the case and reading the file, suddenly frowned, stood up and flipped through the previous file, flipped through several books in a row, and said, "Shang Cheng, you go and ask County Lieutenant Peng to come over,"

Peng Lian hurriedly came over: "My lord, I don't know what is the matter with me?" ”

"Oh, there are some things for you, please sit down, Shang Cheng, go and pour a glass of water for Master Peng."

Peng Lian sat down: "If your lord has anything to order, you don't have to be so polite." ”

Li Dongsheng took a sip and said: "I have been looking through the files in the past few days, and I found that there have been many cases of people missing near Ye County in the past few years, and every time I come to the county office to report the case, but it is all gone, do you know this situation?" ”

"My lord, this case has been going on for many years, from the sporadic disappearance during the Wude years, to the maximum last year, there were more than 40 people, all of whom were outsiders who passed through Ye County and then disappeared." Peng Lian recalled: "I came to Ye County in the first year of Zhenguan, and more than a dozen disappeared in the first year of coming, and there was no scene every time, and there were no eyewitnesses, all the family members came to know about the disappearance, and no one knew the specific reason for so many years, some people said that they were eaten by wild beasts, some people said that they were killed by ghosts, and various accounts are different." However, this case has not happened this year. ”

"That's because there are too many accidents, people don't dare to come." Li Dongsheng said: "Didn't the official and the head catcher go out to inquire about the news?" How is it possible for so many people to live without seeing people and death? I counted, hundreds of people have been missing for so many years, and you didn't report it to the Criminal Department and ask them to send someone? ”

"I also reported this matter to Laizhou, I don't know if they reported to the Criminal Department. They also sent people to investigate, but unfortunately they didn't have a clue, which is really strange. ”

"Far away, it's too long and it's not interesting, let's start with the most recent one." Li Dongsheng opened the dossier: "Yang Ying, male, age 20, went to Dengzhou via Laizhou to go to a relative's house, and disappeared near Laizhou. According to the case file, he disappeared after leaving the city gate, that is to say, he encountered an accident in the wild, but the case file did not indicate where he lived in the city, who he came into contact with, what words he said, none of these, and the rest of the files did not contain these, so you have to scatter all the heads and officials below, and ask me clearly, all the whereabouts of this Yang Ying in Ye County, this is very important. ”

Peng Lian's expression was a little ugly: "My lord, it's been a year since this recent case, and I guess many people can't remember it." ”

"How can I not think of such a big case, and there is not much work to do, but it is more cumbersome." Li Dongsheng said: "Don't talk about difficulties before the work has been carried out, things are man-made, don't worry about doing it boldly, there will definitely be gains." ”

"Yes, sir. I'll arrange it when I get back. Peng Lian took the order and left, Li Dongsheng looked at his back and smiled: "Wang San, you also go out to find clues, how can the big living person say that there is no and there will be no more?" ”

"It's not convenient for us outsiders, and we don't understand how to speak." Wang San was very embarrassed.

"Out-of-towners ... Foreigner? Li Dongsheng muttered, and suddenly laughed: "Why didn't I think of using this plan, it's so stupid." ”
