Shenxi solved the problem of the ownership of the city defense, in addition to opening up the road for the people who went out of the city to the salt field to lift salt, but also for the sake of Liwei. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the people of Guangzhou City saw it, the governor personally inspected the city head, and took over the city defense at the first order, and neither the political envoy nor the county yamen could interfere, how much authority was this?

How can there be a problem with the salt introduced by the Governor Yamen?

As soon as Shen Xi returned to the post house, the people in the city flocked to the city, and the people outside the city also poured into the city in a steady stream, preparing to pool money from eight out of ten households to buy salt.

Look at this posture, he may have to sell three or four thousand salt pins a day, and if the salt farm really puts salt, he will have to lose a lot of money.

Shen Xi hurriedly asked people to go out and announce that the price of a small salt introduction was raised to 228 yuan, and the tax discount of 2 yuan silver filled in by the governor and the yamen yesterday was cancelled.

Under the official standard, even if the governor and the yamen raised the price slightly, the people could not complain, but those who did not have enough money still had to go back and raise another fund, and the original ten or twenty households were put together to buy salt, and now they may have to gather a few more families to be enough. But even if the price rises, the enthusiasm of the people is still undiminished, who makes the price of this salt at least seventy percent lower than the market price?

Because the governor of the Yamen sold salt at a low price, the salt shops in Guangzhou had to lower the price of salt, returning to more than 40 yuan a catty, but still no one cared.

The front yard was busy, Shen Xi stayed in the back hall to read, the silver boxes were brought in one by one and placed aside, and there was a tent room that was temporarily hired back to calculate the accounts, and the weight of the broken silver should be carefully weighed, and the broken silver should be cut off if it is not in good condition......

The entire Governor Yamen is like a money number, each performing its own duties, but Shen Xi, the domineering president, is an idler.

Salt was sold in the city, and the people who had bought it the day before drove mule carts, donkey carts, or walked in groups of three or five to the nearest Xingshengchang salt farm.

Usually the salt field in order to avoid being robbed by bandits, are built as far as possible in the place close to the city, the city of Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty is the county seat of Panyu County, and at this time the Pearl River estuary near the large alluvial plain has not yet been formed, standing at the head of the city of Guangzhou to look out of a vast ocean, out of the city only six or seven miles is the gate of the salt field of Xingshengchang.

The people flocked to the salt farm, and the inside and outside of the salt field were like a great enemy, and the stove households in the salt field did not know where to go, thinking that they were pirates, and they were so frightened that they hurried home to copy the guys and prepare for self-defense.

The gates of the saltworks were closed, and the soldiers guarding the saltworks took out their blades and terrorized the unarmed people behind the fence, and on the high walls around them, crossbowmen stood in rows and rows, waiting for an order to shoot.

"The Lifting Division of the Salt-free Division has ordered that no one is allowed to lift salt!"

From the very beginning, the salt farm set the tone, and when it came to pick up salt, it would not be implemented in accordance with the regulations on seeing salt and releasing salt, but would have to take out the salt department as an excuse.

As the higher-level department in charge of the salt farm, now that the salt section has been put off in the whole pot, and the group of dragons has no leader, the salt farm has an excuse not to be responsible for the salt introduction.

On the first day, there were not many people, and when they heard that the salt farm was not allowed to enter, they were immediately anxious, but they spent a lot of money to buy the salt from the governor's yamen, but they couldn't smash it in their hands, so they stayed outside the salt field and did not leave.

More and more people came to pick up salt, and by sunset, several roads outside the salt field were crowded with people, and they spread to the woods in the distance, and there were crowds of people everywhere. Many people brought their own dry food, ate some to cushion their stomachs when they were hungry, and then guarded outside the salt works, even at night, and did not return to the city.

If you don't get the salt, you can't explain it to the neighbors when you go back, so it's better to stay outside the salt field, when the salt will be released in the salt field, and when they will rush in to get the salt.

Although there were many people outside the salt field, they were in good order, and in addition to the people abiding by the rules, the governor yamen sent a soldier from a hundred households to maintain order.

These soldiers have received rewards since they arrived at the Governor Yamen, and they all remember the explanation of the Governor Shen Xi, and they cannot be rude to the people. What kind of commander there is, what kind of soldier there is, these people have no arrogance, and their relationship with the people is quite harmonious.

At this time, there was order outside the salt field, and there was no major turmoil, but the political envoy department, the inspection envoy department, and several yamen of the Guangzhou prefect and Panyu prefect county were in chaos.

Shen Xi did not play his cards according to common sense, and in less than a month after coming to Guangzhou Mansion, he made the temporary governor of the yamen impressive, and did several major things one after another, laying down the prestige of the city as the sun is rising, and now he has commanded Li Che to obey Shen Xi's words, causing other yamen to be in great passivity.

In the eyes of the people in the government, these people are all unruly people, and there is no reason to talk about them, and there are many people, and once they can't get salt, it will turn into a civil unrest at any time.

Seeing that the matter was out of control, the prefect's yamen and the prefect's county yamen had no choice but to turn to the political envoys and the procurators, who were not the yamen in charge of local administration in Guangdong, so it was difficult for them to come forward. For the time being, this matter does not involve criminal prisons, and even if they do, it is likely that they will be escorted away by the words "involving bandits" from the Governor's Yamen.

At this time, everyone's attention was on the Yamen of the Political Envoy of Guangdong Chengxuan.

It is a pity that Zhou Mengzhong, the political envoy of the left cloth of Guangdong, died in office, and the political envoy of the right cloth lost his reputation after the affairs of the Nanhai County Ya, and he almost did not have the courage to contend with Shen Xi at this time.

Before the political envoy and the inspection envoy department had no decision for the time being, Panyu County Xingshengchang Salt Field was still facing the enemy inside and outside.

……

……

After two days of salt introduction, the Governor Yamen sold a total of more than 4,000 small salt quotations, which seemed to be bought by the residents of the city, but in fact, half of them fell into the hands of some merchants who were ready to buy low and sell high.

These merchants are not the big salt merchants with deep pockets, they belong to the small traders, and they are more trying to block their luck...... They have already seen that the governor of the yamen is now gradually reversing the decline and gaining the upper hand in the game with the local yamen, if the salt in hand can finally come up with salt, it is equivalent to several times the profit, even if the salt cannot be raised, it can also be converted between private salt and official salt, and it will not lose money.

Shen Xi had more than 10,000 yuan in hand, most of which were broken silver and copper coins, and large and small boxes were placed in the back hall, and the counting and accounting work had not yet been completed after nightfall.

Tang Yin's eyebrows fluttered and said: "Shen Zhongcheng has sold more than 4,000 salt quotations today, and it seems that it is not far from being sold in full." ”

Shen Xi said angrily: "Brother Bohu, have you forgotten that you will no longer sell in bulk from tomorrow?" ”

Tang Yin asked in surprise: "It's selling so well, why don't you sell it in bulk anymore?" Even if it takes a long time, it won't take two or three months. ”

Tang Yin has a certain amount of wisdom, but he does not have much economic acumen.

The reason why the salt has been sold so well in the past two days is because the people of Guangzhou City have a direct demand for salt, but how many people are there in a Guangzhou City?

These 160,000 small introductions of salt are salt introductions covering half of the southeast region, and Guangzhou City cannot digest them, and it is impossible for ordinary people elsewhere to come by trekking through mountains and rivers for a few introductions of salt.

If there is no big salt merchant to support him, Shen Xi can only sell the salt on hand for 10,000 or 20,000 at most, and the remaining 1450,000 can not be sold, and the matter will still be messed up.

Shen Xi said: "Let's go back and explain to Brother Bohu, in short, starting tomorrow, we will only accept big businessmen, and we must buy a thousand salt at a time, otherwise there is no need to talk." ”

Tang Yin thought that Shen Xi was carried away by the victory, and he just sold some bulk goods, and wanted to make a big deal, but he had no right to interfere with the decision, so he shook his head helplessly, and went out to continue to help count the salt.

Shen Xi briefly explained to Zhu Shan, and then went out of the back door of the official post, taking advantage of the night to go to Hui Niang and Li Jin, he had messed up the situation in the city, and in the next plan, the business run by Hui Niang and Li Jin should appear.

Others don't dare to buy salt in large orders, there is always a need for someone to come out and take the lead, he will not let Hui Niang and Li Jin come forward directly, but let them act as the proprietors behind the scenes, and remotely command others to come out to buy salt leads.

When I arrived at the second daughter's residence, it was still the courtyard gate opened by Li Jin, and I was very surprised to see Shen Xi injured, Shen Xi did not say anything, and came to the hall. Hui Niang, who was busy in the kitchen, heard that Shen Xi was coming, quickly took off her apron, and just returned to the hall, when she saw Shen Xi's injured left arm hanging around her neck, she immediately shed tears and choked up: "Master, you are ...... this"

Seeing Hui Niang's tears, Shen Xi felt in his heart that even if he was hurt, it was worth it, he always thought that Hui Niang was forced to commit to him, and he had no feelings for him, but women's tears were the most real. is like Li Jin, although Li Jin was also frightened and her face was gloomy, but she did not shed tears.

"It's fine, just pretending to be someone else."

Shen Xi smiled and deliberately raised his left arm, "Fortunately, it was the left hand that was injured, so it won't affect too many things." Then, Shen Xi stretched out his right hand and wanted to take Hui Niang into his arms, Hui Niang struggled a little to get out of his control, and then helped Shen Xi to sit down and asked, "Master has something to arrange?" ”

"Hmm."

Shen Xi nodded, "Tomorrow the Governor Yamen will start selling salt in large quantities, with today's hot sales, tomorrow the salt merchants and gentry will definitely keep an eye on the Governor Yamen, I will card the time and send someone to give you a signal, don't be in a hurry, and you can't delay the fire." You have to talk to the people below. ”

Hui Niang nodded, and then got up: "Master, the concubine has found a few people to help by her side, you can see if it is suitable!" ”

As she spoke, she got up and came to the door, beckoning, and from the next wing came four women in men's clothes, these women can only be regarded as handsome, and their figures are generally tall, about fifteen or sixteen years old, which is the same age as Xiu'er and Xiaoyu when they started to be girls.

Hui Niang said: "In the past few days, the concubine and Jin'er have taught them a lot, and when they go out to do things in the future, they will cooperate with several shopkeepers, what else is there to worry about?" ”

Hui Niang's meaning, since she and Li Jin, as Shen Xi's outer house, not only can't show their heads, but even see the male shopkeeper outside must be avoided as much as possible, so let's find a few girls to use as a mouthpiece for internal and external ventilation, so that they can pass on the meaning of Hui Niang and Li Jin, and at the same time use them to supervise the every move of the shopkeeper and the guys below.

"It's fine."

Shen Xi nodded, "In short, you should avoid taboos, lest you be traced down by the government." ”

If Yu Niang and Jiang Liwei had already left the Fujian and Guangdong regions, Shen Xi would not have to worry too much, Hui Niang and Li Jin would not be considered fugitives, but the problem was very serious after being found out of Tibet.

But what worries Shen Xi the most now is that he doesn't know what the purpose of Yu Niang and Jiang Liwei came to Fujian and Guangdong, for the sake of Hui Niang and Li Jin's safety, he must keep the second daughter as low-key as possible.

Shen Xi said: "Let's do what I told you before." I'm a little tired. ”

came to Hui Niang, Shen Xi just wanted to feel Hui Niang's care, this is a fan's infatuation after having his own idol, every time he comes over, he will have a longing in his heart, which is a special emotion that he has never had when he is with the daughter of his family.

Hui Niang understood what Shen Xi meant, but she still gently pushed Shen Xi away and said, "Master, the concubine is inconvenienced...... Why don't you let Jin'er serve the master......"
