Ye County belongs to Yuzhou, Nanyang Prefecture, Henan Province, and the most important economic chain is rock salt, and its total storage capacity ranks first in the Ming Dynasty.

But the people of Ye County did not live a good life because of this, on the contrary, the people of Ye County were much inferior to other places. Because most of the mining of rock salt is controlled by the official family, and the rest is directly monopolized by the four major salt merchant families.

The officials and the big clans ate meat, and the people kept the treasure but didn't even have soup to drink. It is conceivable that the relationship between the local people and the official family and the family is not harmonious.

It can even be said that it has reached the point where water and fire are incompatible, and the official family and the family do not care about the life and death of the people, but increasingly increase the grabbing of the people, resulting in increasingly tense relations.

The power of the official family and the family, the lack of organization and the lack of organization of the common people did not dare to rise up to resist, although they lived a tight life one by one, they were barely able to make a living.

And the natural and man-made disasters in recent years have made it more and more impossible for the people to survive. If the official family and the big family can't restrain themselves, if this continues, it will be inevitable that the people will rebel one day.

This is also why after Li Zicheng fled to Henan Mansion, he raised the banner and rebelled. The people of Henan Mansion went forward one after another, except that the timing of Li Zicheng's arrival was just right, in fact, the people of Henan Mansion already had the intention of rebelling.

However, with the arrival of Mao Wenlong, it is obvious that he will never let Li Zicheng succeed again. Mao Wenlong still can't know where it will develop in the future, but he believes that his arrival will definitely make earth-shaking changes in the entire Henan Mansion.

After Mao Wenlong was woken up by Chen Lan, he lingered in the house until the afternoon, and then took everyone out of the inn to buy the supplies needed on the way.

The market in Lingshanwei is indeed very small, but due to the importance of the geographical location and the fact that it is backed by the sea, there are many merchants coming and going. Although this Lingshanwei town is small, it is also full of organs, and everything you should have can still be bought here.

The shopping continued until the evening, and seeing that everything was almost bought, Mao Wenlong ordered to go back to the inn. But on the way back, he saw a ready-to-wear shop, and Chen Lan immediately told Mao Wenlong that he wanted to go in to see the clothes.

Women are born with a love of beauty, and they have no resistance to clothes, such a small request, Mao Wenlong naturally will not sweep her interest.

Immediately let Liu Guangzuo go with Haoda and Haoxiao, and Chen Lan finally pulled Hong Ziyan and her two bodyguards. A group of seven people slaughtered into the ready-to-wear shop, but the shopkeeper who had been paying attention to the outside was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, seeing that big business was about to come to the door.

Mao Wenlong looked up at the sky and found that it was almost dark, so he simply asked Chengzuo to take someone to send the purchased things back to the inn first. And he, Chen Jisheng and the remaining two pro-soldiers walked into the restaurant opposite the garment shop.

Chen Jisheng swallowed, seemed to have something to say but didn't dare to say, Mao Wenlong had been paying attention to this situation for a long time. After resting in the restaurant, he said with a smile: "If you have something to say, you will be like a girl, what kind of system!" ”

Hearing Mao Wenlong say this, Chen Jisheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a hippie smile: "Governor, this time I went to Ye County, obviously it will not be too calm along the way." Everyone's sidearms have nothing but a sabre, do we have to find an armory shop to choose a few weapons to defend ourselves? ”

Hearing Chen Jisheng say this, Mao Wenlong remembered that the weapons on several people were indeed monotonous, and when they fled from the Dongjiang River, they were not suitable to make a noise because of the urgency of time, and they couldn't carry too much weight. In order to hurry, you had to travel lightly and should not bring too many things, so each person only brought a saber for self-defense.

Although it is now in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is not as dangerous as in the territory of the Tartars, but today's Henan Mansion is not peaceful. This is indispensable for harming people, and it is indispensable to guard against others, and it is always wrong to make more preparations.

Having made up his mind, Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "It's true that you need to get some weapons to defend yourself, but in a small place like Lingshanwei, is there a place to sell weapons?" ”

Chen Jisheng seemed to have made up his mind, and when he hugged his fists and replied: "Dudu, when I came out to inquire about the news yesterday, my subordinates saw that there was an arms shop at the exit of the town, and I thought that there should be something we needed there." ”

Mao Wenlong didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Then you can sell whatever you need, and if possible, buy a few more bows and arrows." ”

Chen Jisheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but then he remembered something embarrassing, and said with a wry smile: "But ......." ”

"What's the matter, if you have something to say, just say it!" Today's Chen Jisheng does not have the slightest advantage on weekdays, and he always talks in a slurred manner, which makes Mao Wenlong very unhappy.

Seeing that Mao Wenlong seemed to be going crazy, Chen Jisheng didn't dare to ink, so he immediately took out a bag of silver taels from his arms and put it in front of Mao Wenlong and said, "Dudu, but we only have this money left now, and it is not enough to buy weapons at all." ”

Mao Wenlong was slightly stunned, and then he remembered that his silver taels had indeed been spent. Looking at the shriveled money bag in front of him, it is estimated that it should be less than a hundred taels inside.

When he fled, Mao Wenlong didn't let Chen Jisheng bring less money. At that time, he remembered that each person had a few hundred taels on their bodies, and nine people had a few thousand taels of silver, and they had spent it so quickly?

How did Mao Wenlong know that the boat fare paid to the three brothers of the Lijia family was as high as more than 3,000 taels. And in Shanhaiguan, he bribed Hanhu more than 1,000 taels.

In the past two days, the eating, drinking, and Lazar in Lingshanwei, as well as the materials just purchased, and the twelve thin old horses have spent more than a thousand taels, which will only be enough money.

For Mao Wenlong, who has no concept of money at all, this will be completely blindfolded. also made him realize that if he wanted to develop in Ye County, he had to have money, and a lot of money. It's not like he's always imagined that a high yield of food would solve all the problems.

"How's that to be?" At this time, it was time to show the benefits of being the boss, and Mao Wenlong directly threw the problem to Chen Jisheng.

Chen Jisheng is a complete military master, if you want to talk about fighting and cutting people, he never loses. But when it comes to making money, his eyes are black.

In the past, there was a court in the army to cry poor, and a military salary to squander. If it is not enough, take the officers and soldiers directly to the sea to find the 'robbery' of the merchant ships. In short, the identity is there, and when do you need to worry about money.

After racking his brains and thinking about it for a long time, Chen Jisheng never came up with any good ideas, a penny was difficult for a hero, and at this moment he had a profound understanding.
