Chapter 46: Counteroffer

"Ye Niangzi is here?"

Liu Chang didn't take this seriously, although Ge Wu and Ye Niangzi's group of pirates were the Heaven and Earth Society system, and now it was the honeymoon period of the relationship between the two sides for the time being, and Ge Wuye borrowed a good place in Panshi Town to sell fish and all kinds of Chinese and Western goods, and he received at least one hundred and eighty taels of silver every day.

Seeing that Ye Niangzi was making money every day, Liu Chang was also a little red-eyed, so he planned to use his own land to sell illicit salt, so as to earn a capital to start a business.

Now that Liu Chang and Ge Wu are using each other, Liu Chang naturally wants to use Ge Wu's group of pirates to cover Panshi Town on the river and sea, and without the fort of Panshanzhai, Ge Wu will not be able to cut off the Oujiang River.

Ye Niangzi is still wearing that red power suit, hanging a sword and a flintlock pistol on the other, heroic and extraordinary, standing on a plum tree is really more beautiful than flowers: "Check, Ye Niang is polite." ”

"I heard that the Yuhuan camp is looking for Ye Niang's trouble, and I ask the fifth master to be careful."

The Green Camp Naval Division has a Yuhuan Battalion, with nearly 1,000 soldiers, which is the strongest maritime force in Wenzhou Town, but Ye Niangzi didn't take them seriously: "I also have more than a dozen boats in my hands, if they want to come, they can come, it's just a war." ”

The historical Ge Mengjin department quickly became obscure in the tide of history, but now in this time and space, due to the help of the territory of Panshi Town, and the ability to cut off the mouth of the Oujiang River, the strength of Ge Mengjin's fleet has swelled all of a sudden, and many small groups of pirates in the Zhejiang-Fujian Ocean have come to disturb them, and Liu Chang even heard that there are foreign pirates who have joined in.

Liu Chang talked more casually: "That's the best, I don't know what Ye Niangzi has to do with Liu Chang." ”

Ye Niangzi smiled, her eyes were like autumn water: "There is no salt at home, Ye Niang is looking for an inspection point to borrow some salt to cook." ”

"How much?" Liu Chang really had extra salt, and he didn't hear the meaning of Ye Niangzi's words, so he asked directly: "Ye Niangzi can tell me a number." ”

Ye Niangzi stretched out a finger as smooth as jade, but did not speak, Liu Chang hesitated: "One catty? Ye Niangzi just sent someone over, and she didn't have to come in person. ”

Ye Niangzi shook it, although she was young, but the shaking of this jade head was very charming, which made Liu Chang look pleasing to the eye: "Is it ten catties?" One hundred pounds! ”

He didn't expect that Ye Niangzi would be a hundred catties of salt as soon as she opened her mouth, this number was too big, but Ye Niangzi was not satisfied: "Just a hundred catties of salt, where is Ye Niang personally coming to find the inspection, the amount that Ye Niang wants to borrow, but it is calculated in stone." ”

Stone? In this era, there is a difference between big stones and small stones, Liu Chang doesn't know how many catties of stones Ye Niangzi wants to borrow, but he knows that this number is by no means a small number: "Ten stones? Ye Niangzi, don't be kidding, the salt stored in our Panshi Village is only a hundred catties, where to find ten stone of salt for you. ”

But what Ye Niangzi wanted to borrow was not ten stone salt, her jade finger shook slightly: "Check, what I borrowed is not ten stone salt, not a hundred stone salt, but a thousand stones." ”

Liu Chang was frightened by Ye Niangzi: "A thousand stones? Ye Niangzi, don't be joking, although I want to sell some illicit salt, but as soon as you open your mouth, it will be a thousand stones, which is too big. ”

One stone is usually 120 catties, and 1,000 stone is 120,000 catties of salt, which is converted into a modern unit of 60 tons of salt.

Ye Niangzi didn't see it that way: "The number is too big? Check, last year, in Wenzhou alone, the official salt produced amounted to tens of thousands of stones, and Ye Niang asked for less than one percent! If it weren't for the distraction, Ye Niang would have wanted to do this private salt business in person. ”

Liu Chang knew that the salt production on the southeast coast must be amazing, but he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated, the official salt alone reached tens of thousands of stones, plus how much the output of private salt could reach, not to mention that so much official salt and private salt could not meet the demand.

"I'll try my best to go to Zhang Luo, this thousand stones is too big, Ye Niang, I'll try my best to raise it for you."

"That's not going to work!" Ye Niangzi did things simply, and her bell-like voice kept talking: "If the inspection can help me raise a thousand stones of fishing salt, Ye Niang will not have to pour the catch into the sea, and now watching this white silver flow into the water, I feel heartache, this is all silver." ”

Ye Niangzi was in charge of Ge Wu's money bag, and the fish poured into the water was indeed real money and silver flowing away, Liu Chang could understand this: "Ye Niangzi, although I have contacted some salt farms and have some previous relationships, but how much salt I can get, I have countless hearts in my heart!" ”

"Check that you are too modest, who doesn't know that Nanxi Sentry has come back today, our people have bumped into them on the shore, a team of more than 200 people, hundreds of wheelbarrows and a dozen packs, a mighty team, you can get to Panshi Village tonight."

Liu Chang didn't expect Huo Qiu to get private salt so quickly, and it was such a large team, he was overjoyed, and immediately said: "At most, it's just a few dozen stones, how many times have you transported enough to make up the thousand stones of Ye Niangzi, not to mention Ye Niangzi, you are now rich and rich, and the little brother is about to be unable to open the pot, and if you don't get some salt, you have to starve to death." ”

"Who told you to raise so many people, five or six hundred mouths come to you to eat." Ye Niangzi broke her mouth very much: "I don't know how to be in charge." ”

Liu Chang continued to complain: "Then Ye Niangzi, you can do it, let me have a full meal first, hey...... I can't compare with Ye Niangzi here, there are many people who eat, maybe there are only a few rice buckets, let them count how many people eat under my hands, and the number calculated several times is different! But Ye Niangzi, you are all in good order, so a team is managed by you in an orderly manner, and if you don't raise an idler, I am envious to death. ”

Half of what Liu Chang said was true, although Ye Niangzi was in charge of Ge Wu's money bag, she was also a woman who was very good at managing her family, and the team of hundreds of people was in good order, and there was no big mess.

And Liu Chang was at most a group leader in the school before the crossing, and he didn't even take care of a few classmates, and now let him catch such a big mess that he can only learn from scratch, so there is a lot of chaos, but Ye Niangzi saw through his thoughts: "Check, you are also on the right track here, don't worry about this problem of eating, so let's do it, I have sixty percent of the salt this time, and the remaining forty percent is enough for you to eat for half a month." ”

Liu Chang, who sold it to Ye Niangzi, suffered a lot of losses, not to mention the price gap, now Liu Chang still owes Ye Niangzi a large amount of fish money on credit, and Ye Niangzi must also owe it on credit first.

Therefore, Liu Chang shook his head: "At most twenty percent, I will be eight and you two." ”

"Check, this can't be done!" Ye Niangzi will settle accounts: "How much fish I catch every day, at least a few thousand catties, a thousand catties of at least one hundred and fifty catties of fishing salt, and how much fishing salt I have to use at the end of the day." ”

"That's what I rely on to take care of my stomach!" Liu Chang still complained: "Ye Niangzi can't let me starve to death!" ”

"I can only do the private salt business myself!" Ye Niangzi threatened: "I'm afraid that I will rob the inspection business when the time comes." ”

Liu Chang is not afraid that Ye Niangzi will come to rob his business: "It's still two percent, Ye Niangzi has the heart to do private salt business, that's not bad." ”

Ge Wu's fleet is all floating at sea, how can it be possible to go ashore to take care of the private salt business, they don't know anything about all the joints of the illegal salt, and in this case, they will definitely lose their old capital.

What's more, it is so easy to collect protection money at the mouth of the Oujiang River, it is many times stronger than selling smuggled salt to make hard money, and then we have to prepare to fight with the Yuhuan Battalion of the sailor at sea, and it is impossible to let the brothers go ashore to do this part-time job.

But Ye Niangzi is unwilling to give up the huge profits, in fact, all the catch does not have to deal with herself, there have been several local strongmen to ask her to buy fish, and claim that as long as there is fishing salt, how much to eat, the price is negotiable, and there are even fishing boats operating near the mouth of the river directly to her high price to buy fishing salt.

If you have enough fishing salt in your hand, you can earn at least a hundred taels of silver every day, so Ye Niangzi couldn't convince Liu Chang, and finally came up with a killer idea: "You and I are half divided, don't you want to buy some foreign guns and cannons?" ”
