Let's say that he knew that Chao Gai was a big salt seller, and on this day, Shi Jin took Zhu Wu, Zhu Gui, and five soldiers from the Tiger Guard Battalion to visit Chao Gai, the king of Tota.

After the group went down the mountain, they rode horses and arrived at Dongxi Village in less than half a day.

Shi Jin approached the Chao family compound and saw that it was a large courtyard, and it occupied three or four acres of land just by looking at the façade.

Walking to the front of the courtyard, several people dismounted, Zhu Gui stepped forward and asked the Zhuang Ke standing at the door with his fist: "Do you dare to ask the big official Chao in the village?" ”

The Zhuang Ke saw that the few people who came were all riding tall horses, and they looked very burly and extraordinary, and asked hurriedly and obediently, "Don't you dare to ask a few officials with high surnames?" ”

Zhu Gui said with a smile, "My eldest brother is Huayin Shi Jin, and he is here to visit the officials of Chao!" ”

When the Zhuang guest heard this, he shouted in surprise: "Isn't it Liangshan Hero Nine-Pattern Dragon Shi Jin?" ”

Zhu Gui said proudly: "Exactly! ”

Zhuang Ke said more respectfully: "The big officials of my family often say the big names, but they can't meet because they are resentful. A few and wait. The villain went to inform the big officials to come out to meet them. ”

Zhu Gui nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Chao Gaizheng, the king of Tota, was drinking in the back hall with a teacher in Hongxiang who had been friends since childhood, nicknamed Zhiduoxing, and chatting about some hooks on the rivers and lakes, when he saw that the Zhuang guest hurriedly ran in and shouted, "Zhuang Master, that Liangshan hero Nine Pattern Dragon Shi Jin came to visit with a few people!" ”

Chao Gai was taken aback when he heard it, he didn't know Shi Jin of the Nine Pattern Dragon at all, and he usually had always been well water with Liang Shan and not river water, what did he come for?

Although he was surprised what Shi was doing when he came in, Chao Gai immediately got up and shouted, "Brother Wu don't sit, Chao Gai will take a look." ”

Chao Gai hurriedly ran out of the back hall and ordered the dealer to open the middle door to welcome the guests.

Chao Gai led the three Zhuang guests, hurriedly ran out, and immediately bowed when he saw Shi Jin. "No wonder last night's lanterns, this morning's magpie noise, it turned out to be the world's famous hero Nine Pattern Dragon Shi came in. Chao Gai has always heard of the name of the master of Shi Zhai, but he has not had the opportunity to meet. Seeing each other today is just to comfort Chao Gai's longing for admiration. Joy! Rejoice! ”

Chao Gai's attitude, not to mention how respectful it is.

Shi Jin also immediately picked up Chao Gai with an enthusiastic face, and shouted, "Chao Daguan, shame Shi Jin." Chao Da officials are famous for their righteousness and wealth, and no one in Shandong knows who else knows. How can Shi Jin's fallen grass be compared with Chao Daguan. ”

"Where, the master of Shi Zhai walks the way for heaven and keeps the people safe. Who is disrespectful! It's cold outside, Lord Shi Zhai quickly follow me into the house! ”

"Good!"

The two greeted each other politely and walked into the courtyard hand in hand.

Chao Gai invited Shi all the way into the main hall inside, and after Shi Jin asked Zhu Wu, Zhu Gui and Chao Gaixiang to get acquainted, the guests and hosts sat down.

Chao Gai asked: "Don't dare to ask, I heard that Brother Shi is doing a good job in Liangshan." How can you come to me when you are free? ”

Shi Jin said with a smile, "I heard that the official Chao is a well-known righteous man in the world. This time Shi Jin came forward, but there is a great wealth to be sent to you! ”

After speaking, Shi Jin clapped his hands. Then the soldier opened the lid of the vat that was about to be brought in.

Chao Gai looked up and saw that the wooden sticks were full of salt with a little cyan, and he was immediately surprised, and then he was overjoyed.

Chao Gai said in surprise, "Brother Shi, is this?" ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "It's Qingyan!" ”

Thinking that Shi Jin said that he wanted to give himself a great fortune before, Chao Gai hurriedly asked, "Brother Shi has green salt in his hand?" How many? ”

"I don't dare to say more, there are still 30,000 catties a month!" Shi Jin said.

Although the green salt produced by Jinbaoshan in the future is definitely more than 30,000 catties, Shi Jin will not entrust all the salt to Chao Gai for sale, and he still understands the truth that all eggs cannot be put in one basket!

I heard Shi Jin say that there are 30,000 catties of green salt every month, and the quality of the green salt is definitely not bad. Chao Gai asked excitedly, "I don't know if Brother Shi's green salt can be sold to Chao Gai, how much does it cost?" ”

"Haha, if it were someone else, Shi Jin would definitely cost 200 Wen a catty. But who told Shi Jin and Brother Chao to see each other as usual. Shi Jin didn't take advantage of Chao Gai, so this green salt was sold to Brother Chao for 120 pounds! ”

The green salt sent by Shi Jin is extraordinary to Chao Gai.

Chao Gai is bent on expanding the sales of private salt, but he has been unable to grow due to the lack of sufficient supply.

Now that there are 30,000 catties of green salt every month, Chao Gai is sure that he will monopolize all the private salt in Qingzhou with his own strength, and the family is dominant.

Thinking of monopolizing Qingzhou's private salt in the future, a lot of silver flew into his pocket, and Chao Gai, who had never been steady, also showed an excited expression at this time.

However, Chao Gai deserves to be a hero, and after the initial excitement, Chao Gai quickly suppressed his excitement.

Can't let Shi Jin underestimate himself, Chao Gai pressed his mood, and said to Shi Jin with a smile on his face: "Brother Shi is really not a bold person, this green salt is exactly what Chao Gai urgently needs now." Chao Gai also ate it all cheekily. However, Brother Shi can rest assured, the money of this green salt will be no less than Brother Shi's. ”

Shi Jin said with a smile, "What did Brother Chao say, how could Shi Jin not believe Brother Chao!" But Shi Jin now has one thing he wants to ask Brother Chao! ”

Chao Gai heard it and thought in his heart: Sure enough, this guy came to the door, and it would definitely not be for nothing to give money to Lao Tzu.

Chao Gai said cautiously: "Brother Shi, please speak!" ”

Shi Jin said, "There is a lot of wasteland around this Liangshan, and Shi Jin wants to ask someone to reclaim a few acres of land, but he is suffering from no hoe and other groundbreaking and farming." I want to ask Brother Chao to buy some pig iron, I don't know if Chao Gai can do it? ”

Pig iron!

Chao Gai's heart suddenly burst and he gasped in his heart. "I don't know how much Brother Shi wants?"

Shi Jin stared at Chao Gai with both eyes, "A few thousand catties is not too much, tens of thousands of catties are not too little!" ”

Chao Gai groaned for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Chao Gai did his best!" ”

Shi Jin drank, "Okay, Brother Chao is really righteous." After Shi Jin went back, he immediately asked someone to send the 30,000 catties of green salt! ”

The two agreed to exchange green salt for pig iron, and if the pig iron was not enough, they would make up for it with silver. Shi Jinqing salt was insufficient, so he bought it with cash.

Both sides were overjoyed at this point.

Chao Gai asked someone to set up a banquet to drink and chat with Shi Jin, and the two spoke very well, a good buddy and a good brother, so they almost wanted to cut off the head of the chicken and worship the handle.

When leaving, Chao Gai personally went out to see off Shi Jin for five miles before reluctantly waving goodbye to Shi Jin.

When Chao Gai returned to the village, his face immediately changed, and he was still a little drunk.

Walking into the main hall, Chao Gai grabbed a handful of green salt with his hand, calculating how much it would cost to sell the green salt to the ground, and how much he could earn from the 30,000 catties of green salt!

Seeing Shi come in before, Wu Yong didn't know Shi Jin's intentions, so he didn't come out to meet him, and hid in the back curtain to eavesdrop on the conversation between Chao Gai and Shi Jin. By the way, I secretly observed Shi Jin's every move, wanting to see what kind of character Shi Jin was.

Seeing that Chao Gai was back, Zhiduoxing Wu Yong walked out and said to Chao Gai, "Baozheng, that Shi Jin's plan is not small." Be careful! ”

Chao Gai said nonchalantly, "I know, but no matter what he Shi Jin wants to plot, it has nothing to do with me." I sell my salt. ”

Wu Yong sighed secretly when he heard this, in case this Shi Jin rebelled in the future, how could the imperial court let you go for selling materials to the thief?

Although Wu Yong knew it in his heart, he couldn't persuade Chao Gai.

Wu Yong is very aware of the character of Chao Gai, who has known him since childhood. Although he is also resolute, he is short-sighted, only cares about immediate interests, has no long-term plans at all, and has no ambitions!

Chao Gai was bent on making a lot of money, thinking about monopolizing Qingzhou's private salt business. Now that he has such a good opportunity, even if he knows that there is a risk, he will not let it go.

Wu Yong knew that it was useless to persuade him, but it ruined his friendship with Chao Gai.

Wu Yong pressed his mouth and looked back in the direction of Liang Shan.

This history looks at what he has done, and the plan is very big.

I just don't know what he really thinks? But it's about taking a good look.

I can't say that I have a chance to use Zhiduoxing Wu!
