The sweetness and appearance of snow candy stimulated the taste nerves of the four family owners, who had been in business for so many years, and the four families naturally knew that once this kind of thing was put on the market, it must be something that made a lot of money. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I don't know what price Lord Fang and Lord Du want." Lu Shengzhi had already discussed it with Song Lingwen, so he naturally wanted to add fuel to the fire. As soon as the others heard Lu Shengzhi say this, they were afraid that Lu Shengzhi would monopolize the trading of snow sugar at that time, so they immediately asked about the price of snow sugar.

"The price of this sugar used to start at five baht and three hundred Wen in Sui, but if there were no copper coins and cash! When the time comes, you will use the wood, the furs, the jewelry, and the salt. It depends on the price you give. ”

"Good! There are 100 tigers, leopards and wolf skins of various colors, and I can assure you that all of them are of the finest furs. ”

"Humph! What is the use of fur, what is needed in Guanzhong now is table salt. "Heng Guangyuan and Lu Shengzhi once had a festival, coupled with their youth and vigor, now that they can hit Lu Shengzhi, they will naturally not let it go.

"You don't want furs! Then use the best pig iron to exchange with the two adults! As soon as I heard about pig iron, the expressions of the people present changed greatly, as we all know, pig iron is an important military resource, which can be used to build weapons and horseshoe.

"I don't know how much pig iron the Lord Lu is willing to make?" Lu Shengzhi stretched out two fingers.

"If at the price of five baht and 300 wen in the former Sui, how about I pay 200 catties of pig iron in exchange for 3,000 catties of snow sugar at the market price?"

"Humph! Pig iron is an important ordnance material, how capable is your Lu family, and if you get so much pig iron, you can get it, can you transport it? ”

"Hahaha! The lord of the Heng family laughed, don't forget, my father was the prime minister of the king of Dingyang, and many protégés still served in the Hedong area of Shanxi, and our Lu family has many contacts with the Turks, and there are also a lot of relationships in the Turkic Khan's court. "Today, the northern separatist forces -- Li Tang in Guanzhong, Liu Wuzhou in Mayi, Luo Yi in Youzhou, Dou Jiande in Shandong, and Wang Shichong in Luoyang -- were all connected with the Turks, among whom Turkic merchants helped the major separatist forces transport weapons and smuggled countless caravans of vital goods, but ordinary people could not. Of course, Heng Guangyuan knows this, but Heng Guangyuan is unwilling to Lu Shengzhi to come out on top:

"Hmmm! Lord Fang, Lord Du, don't you want salt? I'm out. How much snow sugar do you have, and I exchange one pound of salt for two pounds of snow sugar, how about it? ”

"Hahaha! I can't imagine that you are so stingy as the master of the family, exchanging one pound of salt for two pounds of snow sugar, and losing what you said. Lu Shengzhi was excited in front of Heng Guangyuan:

"Lord Fang, Lord Du, I can also help you get cattle and sheep, if you don't want cattle and sheep, I can also help you get camels, if you are not enough, I can also help you get war horses?"

"One and a half pounds of snow sugar for a pound of salt. A total of 1,000 catties of salt, in exchange for 1,000 catties of snow sugar in your hands? Fair enough! It couldn't be any lower. "Heng Guangyuan is determined to take the lead, and a pound of snow sugar for a pound of salt is already the final price of Heng Guangyuan. And 1,000 catties of salt is also Heng Guangyuan's bottom line, because if there is more than 1,000 catties of salt, Heng Guangyuan is not sure to convince Cao Dan. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui knew that the reserve price in Heng Guangyuan's heart was at this time, and there would be no good results if they pressed it any longer. And there are two reasons - Zhang Qiancai and Gong Yinan have not been silent, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui don't know what Zhang Qiancai and Gong Yinan are thinking in their hearts? The second reason is that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui know that the main task this time is to get salt and alleviate the salt shortage.

"Ahh All right! We can see that the Lord of the Heng family is indeed sincere, so it is decided, please ask the Lord of the Heng family when the delivery will be made. ”

"The two adults can rest assured, and they will set off on a horse, go to Leshou in person, and discuss with their brother-in-law."

"Okay! I hope you will be soon. Heng Guangyuan nodded. And glanced at Lu Shengzhi's provocation, Lu Shengzhi completed the task, so he naturally didn't care. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, and a sentence came out of their eyes: "Finally succeeded." ’

After Zhang Qiancai returned to his home, he immediately took out a blank piece of rice paper and wrote:

"Father, my lord Junjian, since the child came to Jiangling, Jingzhou, today I finally saw the rumored Li Jiancheng to get the snow candy passed down by Taishang Laojun, his eye color is different from the gray sugar that children generally see, its color is crystal smooth and smooth, the entrance is not as rough as gray sugar, and the taste is sweet and delicate. The child thought that if this thing spread in the Jianghuai area, it would definitely form a monopoly, and gold and silver goods would definitely come in a steady stream. In addition, the child thought that although Li Tang had not confirmed the relationship in the first transaction, the other three of his families must have made a move, and asked his father to send the masters of the family to Jiangling, so that the child could act cheaply. After Zhang Qiancai wrote the letter, he waited for a while, and after the ink on the rice paper slowly dried, the handwriting slowly disappeared, (this is the ancestral secret recipe of the JAC Zhang family, after the prepared ink is written, it can slowly dry and disappear, and after the paper is wet with water, the paper is placed on the candle and heated, and the handwriting will reappear). Zhang Qiancai rolled the rice paper into a roll, and then came to the backyard, the backyard raised several cages of carrier pigeons, Zhang Qiancai took out one, put the roll paper into the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, and released the carrier pigeon.

After Gong Yinan returned to the mansion, he also wrote a letter to his father:

"Lord Ning Changzhen, the big boss of Qinzhou, since I came to Jiangling, I finally saw the delicacy of snow sugar today, please make a quick decision, this snow candy is magical, not as rough and astringent as gray sugar, the taste is really good. Moreover, its transaction envoys Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui used bidding to confirm the ownership of snow sugar, I did not get the permission of adults, and did not participate in the bidding, and the first batch of snow sugar was obtained by Heng Guangyuan of the Qilu family. If I hope to get it, I will do my best to intercept it regardless of the consequences, and if I can't get it, I will send Gangneung's elite samurai to destroy them all, and ask the big boss to decide. - Ning Changzhen did not allow Gong Yinan to reveal their father-son identities. After writing, Gong Yinan called a strong warrior:

"Hurry up and give this letter to the big boss, let the big boss decide." Two days later, Heng Guangyuan returned to Shandong Leshou on a fast horse, and as soon as he returned to Leshou, he came to Cao Dan's mansion:

"Brother-in-law!"

"Yo! It's you! Why, what good things do you want to give me! ”

"Ahh Brother-in-law, there are indeed two good things for you, brother-in-law. After that, I took out a beautifully made sandalwood gift box. Cao Dan opened the gift box, only to see a yellow jade Ruyi wrapped in yellow satin lying inside.

"Ahh Good stuff! Cao Dan picked up Yu Ruyi and played with it for a while. Later, the jade Ruyi was slowly wrapped and put back into the gift box.

"You said there's another thing, I don't know what it is?" Heng Guangyuan unhurriedly took out another jar, this jar was an ordinary clay pot. Cao Dan lost interest when he saw it.

"What is this clay pot? Is it the Spring and Autumn Period or the Xia, Shang and Zhou Periods? Heng Guangyuan smiled:

"Brother-in-law, this clay pot is worthless, but there is a mountain of gold in it!" As soon as he heard the word Jinshan, Cao Dan's face showed a greedy look. After taking the clay pot, opening the lid, a fragrance came to the nose, at a glance, the inside was snow-white, Cao Dan tasted it with his mouth, and a sweet taste made Cao Dan intoxicated:

"Could this be the legendary Snow Candy?"

"Brother-in-law is right."

"Good stuff! What the hell is going on? Heng Guangyuan told Cao Dan what happened in Jiangling, and Cao Dan thought for a while.

"A thousand catties of salt in exchange for a thousand catties of snow sugar! The deal ......"

"Brother-in-law, you have tasted the taste of this snow sugar, you should know that this snow sugar is much better than the gray sugar on the market, when the time comes, we will raise the price, one pound of snow sugar for two to three pounds of salt, and then pour it to the Jiangling area, isn't this money very profitable? There is also the Luoyang area, now the Jianghuai area to Luoyang and Mayi around the salt ferry has been stuck by us, we will go to Luoyang and Mayi to sell sugar, there is still a lot of money here! Cao Dan heard Heng Guangyuan say this:

"You make me think, make me think." Cao Dan's eyes rolled.

"Hmmm! You've just come back, take a break. After Heng Guangyuan left, Cao Dan found his cronies and generals:

"General Niu, how is this official treating you!?"

"If there is no adult, the end will never come out. If there is anything, please tell me. ”

"Hmmm! Very good! Now the official's brother-in-law, Uncle Heng, has returned, and he introduced a big business to the official. After that, Cao Dan explained to General Niu attentively.

"Hmmm! After you follow Uncle Heng to Jiangling, you will protect this batch of goods well, but you have to be careful in the future, if anyone else will get involved with this batch of goods, you will give this batch of goods to this official. Cao Dan made a gesture, and General Niu nodded yes.

Lingnan Ning Changzhen's Cave Mansion, Ning Changzhen looked at the secret letter sent by his illegitimate son seriously, Ning Changzhen thought about it carefully, 'Hmph! Zuo Youxian, this guy sent people to advocate Lao Tzu's rebellion, which made Guanzhong a salt shortage, and wanted to destroy Li Tang in Guanzhong in one fell swoop, who knew that stealing chickens would not make rice, and now that Li Jiancheng has received divine help and made snow sugar, the master of this cave will see how you react when you hear the news. 'Ning Changzhen said to the comer:

"Naked silk powder."

"The little ones are here!"

"You bring this token, bring some more people, tell Lord Gong, let Lord Gong go to that Zuo Youxian, tell Zuo Youxian, what is the price, and then let Lord Gong discuss and contact the two Li Tang transaction envoys Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and then analyze and judge by yourself, and the specific way to do it is up to Lord Gong to decide."

"Yes! The little one understands. ”

In Zhang Jiling's mansion, the capital of Jianghuai River, Zhang Jiling was practicing martial arts in the mansion, and he saw a big knife in his hand, wielding a tiger and a tiger. At this time, a carrier pigeon stopped in the courtyard, Zhang Jiling grabbed the carrier pigeon, took out the secret letter from the pigeon's feet, wet the paper with water, put the paper on the candle and heated it, and after the handwriting reappeared, read the contents of the letter, and burned the letter. Since the death of Yang Guang, the Empress Dowager Xiao disappeared to Du Fuwei and Fu Gongtuo successively became kings in Jiangdu, Jianghuai Zhang's industry and business were hit one after another, and the wealth shrank on a large scale, as the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Jiling must solve the Zhang family's predicament, and the way to solve the predicament is to find a reliable and high-ranking person again, which is to save the Zhang family, but also to save Zhang Jiling himself - someone within the family began to provoke Zhang Jiling's authority with the help of Fu Gongtuo's authority.

"Zhang Ziyi!"

"What does the lord command?"

"You quickly gather reliable and capable personnel to go to Jiangling to assist the young master."

"Yes! Master. ”
