Xiao Ying, Erhu, He Tao, Wang Qi, Dongsheng and other people at the table all focused on Lin Yi's face at once. Xiao Ying secretly pulled Lin Yi's shirt to remind him.

But Lin Yi was still talking and laughing as if nothing happened, indifferent to the reminders of Xiaoying and others, and full of promises, and let them see the goods for a while.

Of course, Lin Yi knew it in his heart, and secretly said what do you know? They look at our goods first, and we have to find a way to look at their goods later, so that they can't refuse. We must find out what so many carts are pulling, and what we want this time is mainly silver, grain and grass, in order to solve the urgent need, and the problem of feeding more than 1,000 brothers is the most important thing after all.

After eating and drinking, the wine and food were removed, and the little two in the store served fruit and tea again, and after the wine and food were full, Lin Yi took Xiaoying and Fan Yongzhong and others out of the private room, went downstairs, left the restaurant, and came to the first courtyard of the inn Lin Yi's dozen big cars approached.

Fan Yongzhong's uncle and nephew saw that if these dozen or so cars were all salt, their business would not be a small business. We only pulled four carts of salt with so many cars, which is far from enough for the appetite of the Tartars, but the competition among those companies in Jindi is fierce, and we can't get this stuff at all. If the Tartars are not satisfied, our Fan family's business may be dominated by others after a long time.

In addition, Shandong's salt is likely to be sea salt, if it is really high-quality and low-cost sea salt, not to mention those in Jindi, this surnamed Liu alone will rob our salt business.

Therefore, the two people looked at each other, tacitly understood each other, and a shadow was smeared on their hearts.

"Just this car, the top one, open it." Lin Yi commanded, and removed the fluffy grass covered on it, revealing a hemp bag.

Lin Yi pulled out the steel knife, pounced, and stabbed a hole in it, and everyone's eyes were focused at once.

"Two, please keep an eye on it." Lin Yi returned the steel knife to the box.

Because it was dark, there were no electric lights at that time, and they were lit by lanterns or torches made of oil lamps, so the light was not very strong.

Fan Yongzhong's uncle and nephew saw that the salt was white and yellow, he pinched it with his hand and put it in his mouth, feeling a little salty, but it crunched like eating sand.

In fact, what he eats is soil, to be precise, it is a mixture of soil and rock salt, and Lin Yi scrapes these things from saline-alkali ground and rocks.

"Spit on! Spit! Fan Yongzhong spit out the contents of his mouth, but it took a few mouthfuls to spit it out.

Xiaoying and the others have all mentioned their throats and eyes, let these two big businessmen eat soil, isn't this revealing?

What should I do if this play is going to be smashed? If we want to do it here, we don't have many people, and this is the county seat, and it is difficult for the people from the official office and the soldiers to get out.

But looking at Lin Yi again, it is still light and light, Lin Yi is funny in his heart, this salt doesn't taste very good, this is still good, and then inside is a mixture of pure soil and sand and gravel, which has nothing to do with salt at all.

"How's it going?" Lin Yi asked knowingly.

After the two of them spit out what was in their mouths, their hearts were relieved. In my heart, this kind of coarse salt is not very salty at all, and there are too many impurities in it, which is simply incomparable with our salt. The salt merchants in Henan, after all, are small doors, and as long as the Tartars are not stupid, they will definitely not ask for their goods, so we don't have to worry about them robbing our business.

The hearts of the two of them opened up a lot, seeing Lin Yi ask like this, Fan Yongzhong is old and serious after all, so he can't say anything, but this Fan Sangongzi is different, he also drank two glasses of wine, and he also wants to show off in front of the beauty.

Therefore, Fan Jimo shook his head and said: "Brother Liu, what do you say about your goods, you are straightforward in your heart, so you can tell the truth, please bear with me if you say something wrong, this salt is a little miscellaneous, and the texture is not very pure."

Lin Yi was funny in his heart, it was not that it was not not impure, but it was very impure and miscellaneous.

Therefore, when Lin Yi heard this, he was not angry at all, and ordered someone to bring a bowl of water, and then grabbed a handful from the opening of the sack and put it in the bowl, after stirring, the water immediately became turbid, and then slowly poured out the muddy water, leaving only a layer of white matter at the bottom of the bowl.

Everyone looked at Lin Yi in puzzlement, including Xiaoying and the others, who also cast surprised eyes, and they didn't know what Lin Yi was doing?

"Two, please taste it again." Lin Yi said.

The two people looked at each other puzzled, they had also heard how salt is made, it is made from the salt well, and then boiled, and then steamed, how many processes can be used to make salt, what does it mean to go through the water?

Fan Yongzhong and Fan Jimo really pinched it a little and put it in their mouths, and now it really feels much saltier than just now. Look at the white layer at the bottom of the bowl, it's much more than the one just now.

The two of them felt amazing, nodded their heads and praised the taste.

Lin Yi laughed in his heart, these two stupid pigs are from Shanxi, if they were born by the sea, they would not be able to scare them with this move.

"May I ask what price Childe plans to sell for this batch of goods?"

Lin Yi knew what they were going to do as soon as he heard it, just now they were disdainful of their own goods, and now they were fooled by themselves, and they felt pressured, this was the idea of finding a way to beat their own batch of goods.

Lin Yi's eyes rolled, and he said very frankly: "This bucket is 40 catties, at least two taels of silver, this sack is basically about eight buckets, not to mention 300 catties, this sack will cost 16 taels of silver, a car is a total of eight sacks, a total of 16 carts, that is, 128 sacks, so you have to give at least 2,000 taels of silver, plus the carriage and horses and such brothers have traveled thousands of miles, you have to give at least 3,000 taels of silver."

Xiaoying, Zhang Hua, He Tao, Erhu, Wang Qi and others didn't dare to be happy, and secretly said that we adults can really fool people, just these garbage, he dared to ask others for 3,000 taels of silver? It's more ruthless than murder and robbery, can it be sold? Then they all looked at these two great Jin merchants.

Fan Yongzhong and Fan Jimo discussed on the side, and then said: "In this way, 3,500 taels of silver will be sold under the next, and this batch of goods will be all asked for in the next, let's also make friends, these 500 taels of silver can be regarded as inviting the son and the brothers to have a glass of wine, I don't know what the son thinks?"

When Lin Yi heard this, these garbage-like saline-alkali gravel sand surfaces could be sold for 3,500 taels of silver, which was a sky-high price, and he was extremely happy in his heart, but he couldn't bring it out on his face, so he hesitated slightly, and then made up his mind.

Since the two of you said so, this friend, Liu is settled. But what about ......" Lin Yi deliberately paused, wanting to adjust the appetite of the two of them.

Fan Yongzhong and Fan Jimo saw that Lin Yi finally agreed, and they were very happy in their hearts, he knew that the price Lin Yi said was the price of big salt in the mainland, and of course it would be more expensive to sell it to Tartar, that is, a bucket would cost at least three taels of silver, not two taels, counting the manual road expenses for carriages and horses, these big salts would be sold to Tartars, at least 5,000 taels, and they would soon be connected to Tartars, 1,500 taels of silver, so they would make money, and this trip had nothing to do with Lin Yi, and they traded with Tartars. Don't worry that Lin Yi will rob them of their business, it's really a double win, where to find this beautiful difference?

But as soon as he heard Lin Yi say this, his heart hung again, for fear that Lin Yi would regret it, so he hurriedly said, "Brother Liu may as well please speak in person if you have something to say."

Lin Yi smiled indifferently, "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two, it is said that Liu should return, but this is the first time Liu has done business outside the customs, Liu has a reluctance, he has already arrived here, and he wants to go with the two, without him, he just wants to meet with the Tartar who is in charge, take over, and go back to have an explanation with his father, and it is not in vain that Old Man Han personally asks about this matter." ”

"Hahaha," the uncle and nephew looked at each other and laughed, isn't it just a piece of going with us to see the Tartars, as long as we don't rob our business, everything is easy to discuss, so the two of them agreed: "What should it be, a trivial matter, a refreshing person like Childe, we haven't had enough of it, it just so happens that our carriages and horses are not enough, and we have to bother Brother Liu's carriage and horses to transport this batch of freight to the outside of the customs, that is, two days away, we just happened to walk together, Brother Liu is also a trip this time, the Tartars are enthusiastic, a hero like Brother Liu, We'll have to introduce the Tartars. ”

"Then there are two Lao." Lin Yi was overjoyed.

After the two sides agreed so, Fan Yongzhong immediately took out a silver ticket of 3,500 taels of silver from his body and handed it to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi pretended to refuse, the uncle and nephew had to let Lin Yi take it, Lin Yi knew that they were afraid that they would change their hexagram halfway, so they had to reluctantly take it.

Take a look at this silver ticket, which has the seal of Emperor Chongzhen, which circulates throughout the country, as long as it is under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the silver number in various places can be exchanged for silver.

Lin Yi picked up the silver ticket, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed, 3,500 taels of silver arrived in this way, which was safer and faster than robbery, but the purpose was only half achieved.

Lin Yi's purpose on this trip was to rob the Jin merchants, 3,500 taels of silver is a lot, but at the moment, they can't immediately exchange it for grain and grass, and they still can't solve the problem of eating more than 1,000 people, this money can be temporarily saved as food and military expenses, that is to say, they have to rob them!

But then we have to find out what they are pulling in these dozens of cars.

At this moment, I heard people outside shouting and neighing, as if a lot of people had come.

Lin Yi and the others hurriedly became vigilant, because they were no longer the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty for the time being, but "thieves".

Then there was an extremely flattering voice from the shopkeeper outside: "Ouch, gentlemen, what kind of wind is blowing you here, whether you are eating or staying in the hotel, please give your orders."

A military general reprimanded in a rough voice: "Blind your dog eyes, this is the newly appointed Shanhaiguan right battalion forward deputy general Wu Sangui Wu, this area is infested with thieves, they claim to be the old Hui Hui Tianxing lights are not lit by the people, two months ago, they were bold, the imperial horse supervisor Gao Gonggong and the cabinet assistant minister Yang were robbed, the court prisoner Lu Xiangsheng Lin Yi is also missing, the court has issued a strict order, appointing Yang Sichang as the military department of Shangshu, leading Shang Fangjian, the governor of the five provinces of soldiers and horses, all efforts to suppress thieves, Yongping, Zunhua, move to the west, Shanhaiguan, this area is the key, the military and civilians must cooperate with the thief, and those who do not report it will be guilty of the same crime as the thief. Lord Wu is stationed in Yingzhou, and on the third day of his appointment today, he will inspect the whole city. Have you ever seen these two people......"
