Chapter 423: Salt Shovel

"These things are all scenes of the Lin family's business, if it is shabby, other merchants are not willing to deal with you."

After Lin Yutang followed Jiang Feng for a few steps, he couldn't help but step forward to explain. Naturally, he didn't know that his business was all about the "distinguished customer" in front of him.

Jiang Feng was not the one in charge of these things, he didn't bother to pay attention to Lin Yutang's explanation, he just waved his hand there, signaling that he understood, and entered the mansion prepared for him, and more than a dozen guards also broke up the servants sent by Lin Yutang, and got busy on their own.

In addition to the river yamen in Jining, that is, these salt merchants are the heaviest, and they are used to being powerful and blessed on weekdays, Lin Yutang is the foundation left by Jiang Feng back then, and the business of official salt and private salt is even more huge, Lin Yutang is a man of his word even in the salt merchants. Jiang Feng's attitude towards him naturally made Lin Yutang very uncomfortable, but in Jiang Jiajun's system, Lin Yutang was not worth mentioning in terms of level or importance. Jiang Feng's attitude towards him can already be regarded as 'approachable'.

But Lin Yutang definitely didn't think like this, he was definitely uncomfortable in his heart, and he wanted to continue to say a few polite words, but Jiang Feng's guards saw that Jiang Feng was unwilling to say more, that is, he politely sent people out, and closed the courtyard door.

Lin Yutang stood in front of the closed courtyard gate for a while, and the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion hung far behind, but at this time, he trotted all the way up, and when he saw his master, his face was a little ugly, and he hurriedly said:

"Master, I can't get to know these dirt buns."

Years of wealth and prosperity have given Jining people a sense of superiority, and they look down on those merchants from the north, especially the salt merchants, who are even more proud, and the butler's words are also common, that Lin Yutang heard this, glared at the housekeeper on the side viciously, and scolded in a low voice:

"This is a distinguished guest whom the patriarch personally wrote to me to entertain well, what are you talking about!"

After speaking, he turned around and left the courtyard gate, but his face was much better after scolding, the housekeeper didn't see any anger on his face, and hurriedly followed there, he heard something else from Lin Yutang's words, Lin Yutang left the garden where Jiang Feng lived, and then said to the housekeeper on the side:

"Let everyone who goes to serve be careful, don't say more things that shouldn't be said, what Boss Jiang does, you should also keep an eye on me."

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed down, Sanjiang Commercial Bank naturally has its own branch in Jining, a prosperous commercial city like Jining, Jiang Feng's identity is still the owner of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, Jiang Huifeng, this identity is also decent, the Lin family was a local overlord on Linjia Island back then, and there were naturally a lot of transactions in Shandong, when Jiang Feng broke Linjia Island and moved thousands of people from the Lin family to other places.

The Lin family's peripheral clansmen were not touched much, after all, this was a matter that had nothing to do with maritime trade, and when the Jiang family army took root in Incheon, Shandong, a very good area, naturally could not be easily given up. So a lot of the previously latent relationships are enabled.

For example, some of the green forest forces led by the Fengjiang family army, the big and small salt lords, and the remnants of the Liu family who have experienced the Chen Deaf and Wendao Rebellion still exist, the Lin family's external lineage is of course also the best choice, and these external lines are not very much connected with the family, but until their own family went to North Korea, they were mixed up, but it is not clear who to follow, but it is also the best placement in the Ming Dynasty.

The salt merchants are well-informed, but they don't know anything about the sea, and the trade of private salt is in the inland of the Ming Dynasty, and the people at sea are afraid that there will be more salt, so what is the salt business.

In the eyes of Lin Yutang, the 'Boss Jiang' is estimated to be just the proprietor of a big business bank that has business dealings with his own family, and the Lin family must have a lot of business in North Korea to communicate with the Sanjiang Commercial Bank in Liao Town, so it is natural for the patriarch to ask himself to be polite to Boss Jiang.

However, this Jiang Huifeng is also too bullish, he has also seen the scene of Sanjiang Commercial Bank in Jining, it is indeed a first-class businessman, but those who do business pay attention to a harmonious and wealthy, this Jiang boss has a faint reserve there, and he doesn't look like a person who does business at all.

Thinking of this, Lin Yutang's pace unconsciously sped up, and the housekeeper was also trotting to keep up, Lin Yutang walked into his inner house in all directions, in his garden, there are some places where people can't come in without permission, and the inner house is one of them. The housekeeper in the back has been following silently, and all the housekeepers who are housekeepers are the master's henchmen, so naturally they will not shy away from anything.

"You go and meet the black dog in the afternoon, give them this month's money, and settle down on the edge of our house."

The housekeeper hurriedly bowed down and agreed, Lin Yutang stopped in front of the door of the inner house, and said with a little nervousness:

"I always think that this Boss Jiang is wrong, but I can't say why, you can send a few girls over, and the banquet or something will be the best for me, before we find out the details, let's serve first according to the treatment of serving the salt envoy."

After saying this, Lin Yutang was about to open the door, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and stopped the housekeeper who was leaving, and said with a gentle smile:

"Lin Liu, our brothers are friends of life and death, I can rest assured that these things are done for you, you can go!"

After hearing this, Steward Lin Liu hurriedly made a look of gratitude, bowed down and said:

"If there is no master, how can there be a small today, I will do things, master, you can rest assured, I will do it."

Fortunately, the clothes are all thick at this time, otherwise, you must be able to see that the cold sweat on Lin Liu's housekeeper has collapsed, and it is true that the two people are of the same clan, but the Lin family has thousands of people in North Korea, and the number of people in Shandong is already more than 10,000 people, and there are still relatives between each other.

If it is a person who specializes in eating salt in Jining, he must have heard the name of the black dog, which is the most famous 'salt shovel', whether it is the official salt or private salt business, one catty or two catties of salt is not worth a few dollars, but every time this industry is transported, it is a big deal of thousands of catties, and the ordinary green forest cottage or the flowing ringing horse, do not move these salt teams, and pay some silver when passing by.

First, when Jiang Feng was in Shandong, a set of salt transportation order was established, and the salt merchants and the green forest heroes along the road each had a set of rules for sharing money, and these green forest people specially went to rob the salt merchants who were not within the scope of the order, and the second was that the salt merchants were powerful even without Jiang Feng's support, and after being offended, revenge was also a headache.

Even if Jiang Feng set up a plan and had a guild's scheduling, there were still such and such contradictions between the salt merchants, if they were two salt merchants marketing in the same place, the two would share the share equally.

As long as another person can't deliver salt, another person can make up for it, which is a matter of doubling profits, especially after Jiang Feng's sword hanging over their heads is far overseas, the deterrent effect is worse after all, these salt merchants are harmonious on the surface, but the means inside the secret are endless.

The group of 'salt shovels' came into being, they were all outlaws hired by the salt merchants, who focused on each other's salt goods, and after looting the salt goods, they either took them back to themselves or destroyed them on the spot, and rarely hurt the lives of the trucks and horse dealers and ship dealers, which has a special purpose, called "shoveling salt".

However, you use a salt shovel, and the others are also hired by cats and tigers, and the salt shovels don't pay attention to each other's mercy, and each other's flesh and blood are flying with knives and guns, and gradually the methods are becoming more and more ruthless. I don't know who set the rules, the salt shovel started, the salt goods of the road have to eat three points, the price of a large number of salt goods is not a small amount, a lot of green forest horses have calculated, this salt shovel can make a lot more money than the road guard, and they have joined this industry.

Legend has it that even the guards in Shandong and the soldiers under their command also have a lot of people who do this salt shovel, and the salt shovel used by a big salt merchant like Lin Yutang is naturally not an ordinary role, and legend has it that this 'black dog' was a member of the horse team under Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Later, because Lu Bing lost his position in the land prosecution case and was confined to his family, the private army raised with money under his command disappeared, some were taken under the command of other magnates, and some were scattered in the rivers and lakes.

There are a total of fifty or sixty people under the black dog, but when they were grabbing salt, they forcibly killed the big cottage of 500 people in Mengshan and cut off the heads of more than 200 people.

The ability is great, the asking price is high, the price of the black dog is one thousand taels, the pension bonus is not included, Lin Yutang is not willing to be contaminated, such a knife in the hand, hurt others and hurt himself, the trouble is too great. was about to send them away, but as soon as Jiang Feng came, he kept these people......
