A trace of difference flashed in Cai Cong's eyes, as long as he found a good buyer, this tiger skin was enough for the family to live a rich life, and he actually gave it away directly.

"If the old man wants to give it away, he should give it to Du County. If it weren't for his bitter pleading, the official would already be in Luoyang at the moment, how could he ask about your affairs. Cai Cong said lightly, and the village chief looked at Du Yunlong gratefully, bending down and wanting to kneel.

Du Yunlong hurriedly stopped and said sincerely: "As a parent official, how can I feel at ease when I see that the people are hungry? As long as the folks can live a good life, I am satisfied. ”

"Hey, hey, you two sit down first, and the little second child will go and get some leather goods for you to see, as well as medicinal herbs, these are all good things!" The village chief nodded excitedly, got up and left, and kept scolding the dog for being too slow.

"This village is not bad, you go and call people to call people from several nearby villages, and I won't visit them one by one."

"The lower official will call someone."

"Hmmm! Xinda ordered to go down and bury the pot to cook, today I want to eat barbecue. ”

Cai Cong said lightly, and after a while, the whole mountain village was filled with the smell of barbecue, and the saliva of those children crowded together to watch.

"Do you want to eat it?"

Cai Cong asked with chicken wings, they nodded and immediately shook their heads, of course they wanted to eat it, but the elders said that they couldn't just accept everyone's favor, so they couldn't eat it, even if the black gnocchi in their hands was unpalatable, they couldn't take it.

"Hehe, village chief, I want to invite everyone to dinner today, and please enjoy the noodles!" Cai Cong waved his hand, and the food was piled up on the table, and he said to the village chief with a smile.

"Thank you, little master, you still don't thank you?" The village chief swallowed his saliva and said, meat, he has eaten a lot in his life, but people's meat and salt are sprinkled a lot, and all kinds of ingredients are deadly. The taste is too far away, and their meat is reluctant to put even salt, and the natural taste is like chewing wax.

Eating the barbecue, the village chief said with emotion: "Hey, I haven't eaten meat with so much salt for many years, but it's a pity that the salt in our mountains is poisonous, otherwise we wouldn't be so difficult."

"Huh? You say you have salt mines in the mountains? Cai Cong put down his chopsticks and asked in surprise.

"Yes, there is salt everywhere in the mountains, but you can't eat it, you will have diarrhea if you eat it, and if you eat too much, you will die. Otherwise, even if we secretly sell salt, our village can live a prosperous life. The village chief said regretfully, saying in front of Cai Cong and other officials that he was not afraid of selling illicit salt.

"It seems that there is no need to worry about running out of money. Du County Order, did you bring the paperwork? I want to buy these mountains. Cai Cong smiled, others don't know how to purify mineral salt, but he knows.

"The paperwork is here, but it's ......" Du Yunlong wanted to speak and stopped, Cai Cong was going to buy the mountain as soon as he said salt, obviously there was some unknown means to turn waste into treasure.

Just sell the mountain to Cai Cong, so what should these mountain people do? They have relied on the mountains for generations, and if they don't have the source in the mountains, they won't live long.

"This Du County Order can naturally rest assured, after buying the mountain, all the nearby mountain people can come to work for me as long as they want, so there are not enough people, and more people are needed to work for long hours.

Xinda, immediately send a team into the mountain to find out the distribution of salt mines in the mountain, bring all the feng shui masters, and be sure to find out how large the amount is. ”

Cai Cong naturally wouldn't buy such a big mountain just because of a word, and he needed to send someone to investigate before he could make a decision.

"This, this can't be done! Parents can't do it! Our ancestors have lived here for generations, and if we sell it to him, what will we do? The village chief looked at Cai Cong's eyes a little unkind at this time, and thought he was a good person, but he didn't expect it to be a bad wolf.

"Village Chief, don't worry, I, Cai Cong, am not a bully, even if I buy the land, I can assure you that your village can still stay here, and the surrounding area of your ancestral tomb will not be moved. Otherwise, if the feng shui is broken, you are afraid that you will have to play with me. ”

Cai Cong said solemnly, in ancient times, whether it was a village or a cemetery, it was extremely important, if Cai Cong did not make it clear in advance, these mountain people would immediately become thugs and play with Cai Cong.

"What the little master said is true? Even if we buy these mountains, we won't touch our villages and ancestral graves? The village chief asked incredulously.

"If you don't believe it, you can also make a contract with you. But I'll wait until my men are sure that there is salt on the mountain. Cai Cong said lightly, it was already very good that he could explain to the village chief, and it was impossible for him to explain what was going on.

After such a thing, it is not easy to talk about the world easily, Cai Cong boiled tea, waited lightly, and when the sun was about to set, the village chiefs of other villages arrived panting.

In these years, transportation is all about walking, and communication is all about roaring, and it is not easy to get there at this time.

These village chiefs are far worse than the village chiefs of Shigou Village, and they are cowering, and they can't even speak. Cai Cong didn't even have the desire to talk to them, so he directly asked Du Yunlong to talk to them and send someone to check what they brought.

In fact, how can this kind of thing be said by a small person like the village chief, Du Yunlong said that they all nodded, but they were submissive, with a smile on their faces, as long as the Cai family caravan was willing to receive the goods, they would have money.

The medicinal materials and leather goods are very good, and the people in charge of the commercial affairs of Gongyi County immediately make a decision, as long as they can ensure such quality, the caravan will come to collect it once a month.

Du Yunlong smiled and asked if he needed to ask the uncle, the person in charge smiled and shook his head, as long as the person in charge of the caravan decided, the uncle would never object, even if he knew that he would lose money, he would support them to do it.

Waiting for the caravan people to report, Cai Cong nodded with a smile and handed over the matter to him to deal with.

Du Yunlong, who watched it, was impressed, such a big business would be no less than tens of thousands of yuan a year, and Cai Cong actually gave it all to a small county caravan to deal with.

Since it has been decided, it has been agreed that the villagers will send all the goods to the official road next month, and where will the money and goods be cleared at that time.

The next day, the team returned to the mountain and found that there were not only many salt mines in the mountain, but also a huge salt lake, which was simply a huge treasure.

Cai Cong immediately signed a contract with Du Yunlong and bought the entire mountain range for a huge amount of money.

Money is a decimal for Cai Cong, but it can make others feel distressed to death, Gan Xinda persuaded him several times, but he couldn't stop Cai Cong.

"Xinda, needless to say, since I dare to buy these poisonous salt mines, I have the means to turn him into treasure. You have people prepare gauze, iron pots, iron pipes, buckets, and charcoal. I'm going to show you how to turn poisoned salt into green salt. ”

Cai Cong said confidently, Gan Xinda's face was a little unsightly, and he wanted to stop him, but someone had already gone to look for these things. Gan Xinda's face suddenly became ugly, and he stood there and didn't know what to think.

Suddenly, he pulled out his knife and shouted to everyone with red eyes: "This is the secret technique of the uncle, no one should retreat immediately, no one is allowed to approach within thirty zhang of the comer, and those who dare to peep will be killed." ”

Gan Xinda's words surprised everyone present, and Cai Cong's face darkened, who allowed Gan Xinda to give such an order instead of him?

The soldiers immediately unsheathed their swords and drove everyone away, even Du Yunlong's goods were driven away. Cai Cong looked at this scene coldly and didn't say a word.

Gan Xinda saw that the people around him were empty, threw down the knife and knelt in front of Cai Cong.

"I need an explanation." Cai Cong said coldly, when he looked at Gan Xinda again, he no longer had the familiarity he had in the past.
