"Okay, I'll go back first and investigate this matter as soon as possible." After Elder Duan said this, he got up and left.

Mo Yu followed behind Elder Duan: "Elder Duan walks slowly."

Then Mo Yu called Jiang Liang over: "Brother Liang, call the master of the city defense hall to me, hey, forget it, I'll go over in person, Brother Liang, you can help deal with official business here, you can decide for yourself on small matters, the city lord watermark is here."

"Okay city lord, I see." Jiang Liang said softly beside him.

Then Mo Yu got up and left, going to the office of the City Defense Hall.

I came to a small complex, which was the office of the lord of the city defense hall and his subordinate law enforcement officers.

Mo Yu was also very angry at this time, in fact, patrolling this matter was just a walk, if it was really a problem on the side of the City Defense Hall, he actually patrolled every day without any effect.

When he came to the city defense hall, he directly questioned the soldiers at the door: "What about your hall master?" Where has the hall master gone! ”

"Report to the city lord, the hall master has gone to cooperate with the law enforcement hall to investigate the matter of the salt merchant, I don't know when I will come back."

Mo Yu pointed to one of the soldiers: "You, call him to me immediately, I have something to ask him!"

"Yes, City Lord." One of the soldiers hurried away.

Mo Yu walked into the complex, and there were a lot of people inside, but most of them were resting, preparing to patrol and be on duty.

Then Mo Yu sat in the hall master's office, and there was no one in it, including the hall master's assistant, who should have gone to the law enforcement hall.

Mo Yu was angry when he looked at this messy office place, he was already in a bad mood, and he was naturally angry when he saw such a scene.

Some of the soldiers had already brought tea and most of them knew what had happened last night.

The soldier was a little frightened when he saw the city lord, and put down his tea and prepared to leave.

But Mo Yu called the soldier down: "Wait a minute, I'll ask you something."

"City Lord, please speak." The soldier was obviously a little scared, a little unspeakable.

"Did the wounded soldier from yesterday be taken to the infirmary?" Mr. Mo Yu asked about the wounded soldier.

"The degree of injury is not particularly large, those salt merchants are not in the mood to clash with the soldiers, just to rush out of the city, they have been sent to the military medical hall last night, the degree of injury is not particularly large, and it has been healed this morning."

"Do you find out what someone did yesterday? Where are the salt merchants? ”

"I don't know about this matter for the time being," the soldier said, "I heard that the hall master has gone to investigate the records of large vendors entering the city, but there are a lot of vendors entering the city recently, so it is more difficult to investigate, but I believe that it should be investigated soon." ”

Mo Yu beckoned: "Okay, okay, you go down first."

As if he had been pardoned, the soldier quickly went down with his plate.

Mo Yu drank tea here, then looked at the scattered documents on the table and flipped through them casually, and found that this hall master should have not rested all night, because all the documents on the table were records of entering the city.

When large vendors enter a city, the city defense hall needs to make a city registration registration, in which the business license, boss information, and main character information must be made a copy and placed here in the city defense hall.

Looking at the many, many documents on the table, Mo Yu's anger gradually subsided, maybe he was really a little lax.

Then Mo Yu helped sort out such documents, sorted them all together, and prepared to read them for himself later.

Commodities such as salt are controlled by the state, but some traders still take risks for the sake of their huge profits, trying to get out of the city at night by not scrutinizing them strictly, and even clashing with soldiers.

The main reason for the control of salt by the polar countries is because of historical reasons, since ancient times, all countries have controlled salt, there are many reasons, but there is no shortage of the following reasons.

The first and most important reason is to control the price of salt, the price of salt is stipulated in each city, it can be sold very cheaply, but it is not allowed to sell expensive, as long as it is found that it is expensive, and it is reported to the law enforcement hall, it is basically a catch, without any connivance.

The second reason is to strengthen circulation, because if it is not controlled by the state, some salt merchants will cause the price of salt to rise through regional control, which is actually the first reason, but once the area is not circulated, it will lead to a certain area without the ability to use salt.

Although salt is a small thing, it is still very big in life, and it is also the most important thing to strengthen cultural exchanges.

Another problem is that the state controls the price of salt but it is not public, and merchants can buy and sell salt at will, but they must report it and give the prescribed city sales, and the amount of salt sold shall not be less than how much and not more than how much, and the quantity of which is very strict.

If they don't comply, the salt merchant will be thoroughly investigated.

However, some salt merchants still want to sell illicit salt according to the loopholes, and the main manifestation is that they want to sell more salt to obtain more profits, which is naturally not allowed.

Another thing is that the state has extremely high taxes on salt merchants, so some salt merchants are forced to avoid taxes and make their salt as low as possible.

The supervision of salt merchants is placed on the city defense hall and the law enforcement hall, but since it is supervision, there must be loopholes, and salt merchants must want to seek loopholes to obtain greater profits.

Mo Yu is also well aware of the importance of this matter, salt is an important source of national taxation, that is, an important source of national finance, and the responsibility for this mistake should not be underestimated.

It didn't take long for the hall master of the city defense hall to come, and the hall master of the city defense hall was called Zhang Xin, who had been the hall master for a long time.

Zhang Xin lowered his head and said to Mo Yu, "Mo City Lord is good."

Originally, Mo Yu wanted to blame him, but seeing his red eyes, he also let go of his blame.

"What about the survey? Do you have any clue? Mo Yu said softly.

"Tell the city lord, this matter is still under investigation."

"That means you still don't know anything, do you?" Mo Yu was a little incomprehensible after hearing such words.

Why do I still have no clue after a night of investigation?

"Then you remember to tell me about last night."
