Forty miles northeast of Liangshan, there is an isolated island in Shuibo Lake, called Da'an Mountain. Da'an Mountain is surrounded by reeds, and it is a large market town for trading in the lake, only a stone's throw away from Dongping County. It is a very prosperous fishing island town in Shuibo Lake. The island is more than three miles long, and there are only one street and two alleys in the town. Fish sellers, onion and garlic sellers, nets, singing and shouting, people come and go.

The island is not big, there is only one north-south street, and the facades on both sides of the street are large, small, wide, narrow, high, and low, one next to the other.

At the southeast end of the road, there is a wide and high gate, and a long plaque is hung: Da'an Mountain Salt Shop. Behind this salt shop is Shuibo Lake. At the southern end of the street is the dock where boats come and go. Looking to the southwest, it is the towering Liang Mountain.

Who owns this salt shop? Why do you want to hang a monopoly salt store?

Speaking of this shopkeeper, there is a reason for it, he is a bad guy with sores on his head and pus on the soles of his feet. This guy is none other than the fishermen hate, the merchants are afraid, and no one dares to mess with Cui Minggui in the Ansan area.

During the Huizong Dynasty, Cai Jing created the "introduction of the law". The method is: the government seals and quotes, and compiles a number book; Each quote number, two coupons before and after, the front is a stub, and the back is a voucher; Salt is packed in bags, and each bag is a lead, limiting the weight of catties; Merchants pay the price of salt, including taxes, and then use the salt to be used to the production area to support the salt for sale.

At the end of the Song Dynasty, although the salt system was changeable, it was mainly based on the monopoly on the spot, that is, the civil system, official revenue, official sales, commercial transportation, and commercial sales.

In the Song Dynasty, the common people could only afford to eat five yuan a pound of coarse salt, and the well-off families could eat fifty yuan a pound of fine salt, and only the rich families could afford to eat four hundred yuan a pound of green salt.

400 Wen is a concept? Consistent money is a thousand Wen. Even if it is a Liangshan person, they eat coarse salt at home, and only use fine salt when they are entertaining guests.

Liang Shan has recently cooperated with Chai Jin to boil salt, which is very smooth, but Cui Minggui in Da'an Town has broken the rules.

This Cui Minggui relied on Juye Zhixian as his brother-in-law, raised a group of thugs, held a cane in Anshan Town, was domineering, bullied men and women, and did all kinds of evil. He monopolized the monopoly of collecting and buying salt, collecting large scales and selling small scales, and also collecting fishery taxes, and appointed himself the superintendent of the lake. If anyone dares to resist, they will beat you violently, or if they are serious, they will send their cronies to break into your house in the dark, beat you to death, and throw you into the lake.

The fishermen dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. If you don't dare to sue if you are wronged, even if you sue you, the plaintiff, will be treated as a defendant and beaten severely.

He opened this salt shop in Da'an Mountain, and the price was set by him, and if you set it, you had to sell it, and those who didn't sell it would be beaten first, and the salt would be "confiscated" - not a penny. Or add land tax and salt tax, so that those who sell salt not only can't collect money, but also have to pay out of pocket.

The fishermen and merchants gave him a nickname: "Urging Ghost", and the salt shop was called Hades.

The fishermen gave him a slip:

The life-urging ghost is a snake and scorpion, eating human flesh and drinking human blood;

Ansan Town is called the king, who dares to say it in the dark.

Liangshan is close to the left, how can this guy be presumptuous. No, Wang Lun, who had been quiet for a long time, learned about Cui Minggui's evil deeds and personally went down the mountain to clean him up.

Two large ships rode the wind and waves, making a clattering sound; Patches of reeds, with the wind fluttering the lake "snowflakes", the reeds fall into the water, full of fishing boats, along the waterway.

Li Zhu hadn't come down the mountain for a long time, and this time Wang Lun also took him with him. There are also two old brothers, Song Wan and Du Qian, who have not been close for a long time, and this time they also followed Wang Lun left and right. Twenty Liangshan elites in the back escorted them in small boats.

As they were galloping, they suddenly heard a burst of fishing songs in the distance:

The sky is firm.

The water is vast and sighs.

The wind blows the reeds and flowers all over the sky.

fish swim in the water,

The water is rippling in the lake.

Fishing, shrimp, tears, exchanges.

Starve dad and mom to death.

The official tax is heavy, and the fishing tyrant is crazy,

The official fishing tyrant is like a jackal,

Fishermen have been afflicted.

The world is dark,

Hold up your sword and gun alive.

Hold your guns alive!

Wang Lun listened to the fishing song and thought thoughtfully.

The fleet was moving forward against the wind and waves, and as soon as the fishing song stopped, I heard a descendant shouting in the reeds: "If you sing like this, you will let the ghost of Ansan know, and you will eat your good fruit!" “

Then I heard the descendant who sang the fisherman's song say, "I'm afraid of what the fuck!" This world forces people to be unable to live, if it is really urgent, Lao Tzu will dare to go to Liangshan! “

The posterity who asked just now said: "The old eagles in the world are as black as ever, and now Liangshan is different from the past, they are also such goods as life-urging ghosts, and they urinate in a pot!" Let the urging ghost be responsible for buying and selling salt in Da'an Mountain, and harm the fishermen, people, and merchants. “

"Yes, I've also heard that the salt shop he opened was run by the rebels." Someone else chimed in.

"I think he sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, his brother-in-law is the magistrate of Juye County, he is a bitch and a memorial arch, under the banner of the righteous army, pit the fishermen and the people, and destroy the reputation of Liangshan."

Song Wan listened to the conversation between the two juniors, and couldn't help but feel angry, and his muscles jumped violently.

I thought: My righteous army is peaceful and good, and does the right thing for heaven, how can I let this yellow man ruin the reputation of my righteous army.

Wang Lun was still light, and casually ordered: "Don't go to Juye first, and the boat will go to Da'an Mountain." “

After an hour, the two big ships docked, and Wang Lun instructed Li Zhu: "Leave two people to watch the boat, and the rest come with me, and go to the salt shop to watch my eyes." If what the descendants in the lake said is true, let's get rid of this thief, and if we don't eliminate harm for the people, what kind of righteous army are we! “

Wang Lun landed on the shore, had no intention of watching the street scene and the city, turned his head to the east, saw the salt shop, and thought: Let me see what kind of salt shop the hell is opened by the ghost.

The three of them walked straight towards the Ghost Salt Shop. Come to the front of the store from time to time. Suddenly, I heard a person shouting in the store, "Why are you so tricky? “

"Nonsense! Who's cheating on you? If you mess around again, Lao Tzu will throw you into the lake to feed the king! “

"My salt is obviously 500 catties, why is it 380 catties when it is weighed in your store?"

"My scale is set on Liangshan, do you dare to say that the righteous army opened a shop and cheated people? If you talk nonsense, I'll kill you alive! “

"The righteous army also has to be reasonable, this is the first time I have come here to sell salt, you are not allowed to sell it on the street, you can buy it with such a big scale!"

"Someone!" The shopkeeper in the store looked fierce and vicious.

Hearing the shout, several big men suddenly rushed out of the backyard, "Shopkeeper, who wants to die here?" “

"That's this kid! Pull it out and let him know how powerful the uncle is! “

Seeing that the six or seven big men were like wolves and tigers, the salt seller shouted: "Help! “

"Stop!" Li Zhu roared and broke in.

He opened his eyes and saw a small monkey with a small mouth, a small head and a small face, and a little man in his forties looking at himself in horror as he strode in.

Those big men let go of the salt sellers and glared at Li Zhu angrily. Seeing that Li Zhu was tall and big, he blocked the counter like a door.

Wang Lun and Du Qian, who came in slowly, didn't look like good stubble, and hesitated for a while.

Without Wang Lun's orders, the other side pointed to the little man with monkey cheeks and asked, "Why are you so domineering?" Under the guise of Liangshan! “
