The national court is not allowed to do this business of private salt, and even for the sake of taxation, he will be severely punished, because of the huge interests in it, I don't know how many local tycoons are involved, secretly engaged in this business, and even worse, they are fighting for it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ximen Qing wants to keep the business of private salt, it is not enough to rely on the few under his hands now, don't look at him now that he is famous, and even worn to other places, but the name is loud but can't scare people, but when it comes to goods, none of them are not fist forces to speak, just rely on mouth cannons, let's wash and sleep. This is true for both the big country and the small individual, and no one will easily dedicate their interests to others.

If he wants to get a piece of the pie in the hands of those smugglers, he must take a knife out and draw a share of his own, otherwise whoever sees him as a bird and robs people of their wealth, such as killing his parents, is what the official family will do when they come, and he must not let people starve to death on the side of the road.

Originally, there were few people under Ximenqing's command except for Xue Yongjiaoting, and there were only a few servants in Ximenqing's family, and a few street helpers, don't look at Zeng Rui and Yang Bin's daily brother shouting, in fact, people have their own business, and if you calculate carefully, you can only say that you are attached to you, but you can't be regarded as Ximenqing's descendants. Before, they were hindered by Ximenqing's majesty and righteousness, and they did everything to obey Ximenqing's orders, but this kind of relationship was not reliable, and it was broken as soon as the wind blew by others.

After receiving the offerings of the merchants in the county this time, it will be different, they want to get a share of the benefits of this, even including the sale of illicit salt, and they will have to obey Ximenqing's orders in the future, after all, there is a relationship of interests, so that the relationship can be closer and more obedient.

But just like this, plus Zeng Rui and Yang Bin's menpower, Ximenqing is only about 100 people, and he is far from being compared with those private businessmen who walk the rivers and lakes and sell illicit salt.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the situation that Ximenqing has learned now, Yanggu now has two groups of people who control the county's private salt business, they do not live in the county, usually gather in two villages in Yanggu, only every morning, into the county to make some buyers, but do not supply, left and right to probe carefully, see that there is no public messenger to watch, stay in the evening every day, when the sun sets, a group of people come in to deliver goods, such cautious and cautious, there are some later generations of drug dealers.

According to rumors, there are hundreds of people in these two groups of smuggling salt dealers, and there are also those who do not want to die, so it is no wonder that what they do is a lifeless deed, if they see the official and are not interested, they will definitely arrest their own family, and they have no choice but to go up and fight to escape.

Moreover, there is not much harmony between the two groups of smuggler salt dealers, they have been killed several times in the mass graves outside the city, and several lives have been killed, which has caused panic in the county, and the government has to strictly investigate it several times. The leaders of the two sides reached a consensus, and then they calmed down and stopped fighting, even if they met in private, they all had to squint at each other, scold a few words, and use their fists and feet when they were in a hurry, but no one used iron weapons, and they didn't harm people's lives.

Ximenqing wants to divide a mouthful of meat in the mouths of these two wolves, and if he doesn't recruit more people, he really can't get in.

Since it is to recruit thugs, it is not possible to have a few excellent means, and the rags in the county want to rely on Gu under the command of Ximenqing, but unfortunately they are all old oilers, and they are divided into money, if they move the real guys, they will slip away, just like that Xie Xida, so Ximenqing is not looking for people in the county, but a different place.

Downstairs at the city gate

On the side of the road

Ximen Qing asked Xue Yong and the others to set up a table, on which was a plate of copper coins. Not far from the table, there is also a large cauldron, spitting white mist, the two chefs invited from the Lion Building are burning the fire hard, and the aroma of porridge and big meat steamed buns wafting out of it is transmitted into the mouths and noses of the surrounding people in bursts.

In less than a quarter of an hour, there was a circle of people around, all with bright eyes and swallowing saliva, although the Northern Song Dynasty was rich and the people's living standards were higher, but it was only the scholars, the strong and the small citizen class, ordinary people, and the life of the Zhuang family was still difficult, otherwise there would not be so many bandits and water ghosts.

Ximenqing was lying on the rocking chair, guarding Jiao Ting and Xue Yong on the left and right and standing according to the knife, and there were a few family servants around, especially the ones who were trained by Ximenqing at the beginning, standing straight, looking around, not angry and self-assured, it was the majesty of Jiao Ting and the two, and they also made a few of them compare. Although the crowd was crowded, but after seeing such a posture, no one dared to rush up to grab it, so they could only look at it with their eyes, and they didn't know, they thought that Ximenqing was in the ya, or a famous official.

This year's bad year, coupled with the bursting of the Yellow River, although it was blocked in time, most of the farmland was lost, and many refugees flocked to the county, hoping to survive the coming winter in the city.

Ximen Qing nodded at Ju An, Ju An first gave Ximen Qing a cup of tea, turned around and howled loudly at the people around him: "All the heroes here, my master wants to recruit a few martial artists to take care of the family, give 500 Wen every month, no credit, and five buckets of rice per month, if you have the ability, add money consistently, you have to be careful, don't miss it." The crowd immediately stirred, and the monthly plus 500 copper coins and five buckets of rice were much better than other jobs in the city, and since it was a nursing home, there must be a place to live, and many people were moved by it.

Ximenqing glanced at the crowd around him, what he wanted was to recruit twenty or thirty, not that he didn't want to recruit more, but that the goods were tight, although he had been worshiped by the merchants, but according to his current speed of spending money, he didn't have today's effort, he recruited people this time, it was best to be a slender man on the Yellow River, or a local farmer, these people have good physical strength, strong obedience, practice for a few days, and absolutely kill those scoundrels on the street, even if the gang of smuggler salt dealers are tough, they are just the courage of the horseman.

As for other people from other places, Ximenqing has to think more, after all, this society is not safe, and the matter of farmers and snakes often happens, not everyone is like Xue Yong and Jiao Ting, who are loyal and righteous heroes.

"I'll try." With such good conditions, there is no shortage of people who come first.

Ximen Qing glanced at it, and knew that this person was not successful, plus vanity, his eyes were rolling, he was not a good person, sure enough, he didn't need Xue Yong and Jiao Ting to make a move, only a few weightlifts and guns and sticks were set, and he couldn't pass it.

Jue An smiled: "This hero, my master is recruiting a good man who cares for the house, and your body is still a little worse." ”

The man blushed and hid in the crowd.

The crowd around him was still hesitating, and just as Juan was about to open his mouth to urge, he heard one of the men with a stout body, shabby clothes, and an ugly face asking, "Can you take care of enough food every day?" “

Li Zhen, a famous talent in Yanggu County, has a rich family, and has also produced a few talented people to be officials in the court, and after being regarded as an official eunuch in Yanggu, he also went to Tokyo to catch the exam, but he didn't win, and he came back home.

A few days ago, a letter came from Tokyo, saying that his friend Lu Ren was passing through this place and wanted to visit, so he brought a few servants and waited outside the prefecture.

After a while, a cloud of dust rolled up in the distance, and a carriage stopped in front of him. Li Zhen greeted the early stage and smiled: "Brother Derong, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

"Zhenzhi, why did you still welcome me outside the county, didn't you break me?" Lu Renzi Derong has a deep friendship with Li Zhen, and after he greeted him, he made the person behind him smile: "Look at who is coming this time."

"Good minister?" Li Zhen was pleasantly surprised. "How did you get here?"
