Lin Chong said righteously, and insisted on principles, if he was forced to do so, he would be forced to be unkind.

Shi Jin's pleading plan did not come to fruition, and he and Qin Qiong looked at each other.

Wu Yong gently patted Shi Jin and Qin Qiong, and asked knowingly: "This salt pond is so big, and the salt is inexhaustible, how can it be difficult to adjust?" ”

Lin Chong had already opened his mouth to promise to help, but now he changed his words, although out of helplessness, he was also very embarrassed. Wu Yong asked a question at this time, but he gave Lin Chong a chance to explain, so as not to be misunderstood by his friends that he was not righteous.

"Mr. Wu, you have read the book, I will calculate it for you, and you will be clear."

Lin Chong snapped his fingers and calculated.

Lin Chong is careful and takes the management of the salt pans very seriously, how many salt farmers and how many salt pans are here.

The salt pond is a simple way to dry salt. Open up the salt pan, and the ditch leads the brine of the salt pond into the salt pan, and the sun is exposed to obtain coarse salt.

Lin Chong calculated with a pen how many large and small fields there were, and how much salt each large and small fields could produce. How much sun can be dried every day in summer, and how much salt can be obtained in winter when the sun is short.

And under Chao Gai, the salt lord salt seller, the big one is called "Dao", and the small one is called "Article". There are a few avenues and a few small strips. The total amount of salt to be distributed to each province each month.

After a pen calculation, as Lin Chong said, the amount of salt produced and dispensed every month is basically the same, and it is really difficult to adjust.

If Shi Jin is forcibly allocated, the supply of other channels must be reduced or even cut off.

"Mr. Wu, you see, it's not that Lin Chong doesn't want to help, but he really can't help."

Wu smiled understandingly. Wu understands the difficulties of Lin Jiaotou. If you don't help me wait, you won't be able to get over it, and it's unjust. Help me wait, breaking the rules of Chao Tianwang is also unjust. ”

Lin Chong almost said "Long live understanding".

"Then, if we don't want to become salt, will Sect Leader Lin help?"

"No salt?" Lin Chong couldn't believe it. Salt put him in a dilemma, and for him, as long as he didn't mention salt now, he could say anything else. "Asking for money, Lin Chong didn't say a word, and gave it away. If it wasn't enough, Lin Chong was willing to pull down the skin and come forward to ask Chao Tianwang for a loan, all of which was recorded in Lin's account! ”

Wu Yong gave a thumbs up and praised: "Sect Leader Lin is righteous enough!" ”

Lin Chong's face flushed.

Wu Yong immediately said: "It's just that we can't ask for this money." ”

Lin Chong was stunned again. "So, what do you want?"

"Salt Mine."

"Salt mines?"

"That's right, it's Salt Stone."

"Salt Stone?"

Salt stones, near the salt pond, are made by mixing salt lake brine with mud and other debris. Salt stone has a high salt content, but it needs to be boiled and processed, wasting manpower and firewood.

The salt field of the salt pond does not use this method, but uses the simple and easy drying brine to obtain salt, although it takes more time, but saves manpower.

"Do you want salt and stones, and go back and boil them yourself?"

"Yes."

"However, the trafficking of salt and stone must be transported by mules and horses, and it is very easy for the government to find out." After Lin Chong finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, "You can't be ......"

Shi Jin hurriedly interrupted Lin Chong: "Sect leader, we're just helping friends, why bother with so much." ”

"How can it not be done? We can't do anything that is morally unethical! Lin Chong argued that the morality in his mouth was naturally the rules of the rivers and lakes. He had already realized that Wu used Qin Qiong to ask for such a large amount of salt, and he dared to sell salt mines, so he must have a relationship with the government.

Yanchi has a rule that "selling thieves and selling criminals does not sell officials and businessmen", which is what Lin Chong called "morality".

Wu Yong took a step forward and stared at Lin Chong's eyes: "Lin Jiaotou is also a heroic person, and it is the way of the rivers and lakes to be chivalrous and righteous. Saving people from danger is the way of the world. Otherwise, thousands of people will become ill or even die because they cannot afford or buy salt. ”

Lin Chong was silent.

Wu Yong further mentioned Lin Chong: "On the one hand, there is the way of the rivers and lakes, and on the other hand, there is the avenue of the world, which is more important, needless to say." Could it be that the head of the Lin Sect is only willing to guard the way of the rivers and lakes, and abandon the road of the world? ”

"This ......" Lin Chong's face gradually turned red.

"Leader!" Shi Jin opened his mouth and pointed to the barrel of the gun next to the wall. "The head of the sect is chivalrous, and he has more skills, do you just want to play with a big gun every day and tie salt flies to relieve boredom?"

This is another thing that says Zhonglin Chong's heart.

"Alas......" Wu Yong sighed, "the head of the Lin Sect is dormant here, like a Kunpeng trapped in a cage. Who can see this without suffocating? ”

"You, don't you want to persuade me to abandon the Heavenly King?" Lin Chong's mind was in a hurry.

"Definitely. We are just wronged for Lin Jiaotou, and we don't want to see people in the world say that Lin Jiaotou ignores the righteousness of the world. ”

"yes, Leader." Shi Jin added, "We don't make it difficult to teach the head to mix salt, we just want salt stones, and pay for them in full." Brother, I promise to use all of Lin Sanguan's cash! ”

Shanglin Sanguan is the Royal Mint. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the currency system was chaotic, and various five-baht coins were in circulation. Shanglin Sanguan money, sufficient weight, good quality. Shi Jin said that using Lin Sanguan's money to settle is equivalent to buying salt at a high price!

"This ......" Lin Chong really couldn't say anything to refuse.

Wu Yong is right, although the way of the rivers and lakes is heavy, it is not as big as the way of the world.

Although there are rules in the salt farm, the sale of salt ore and salt stone does not break the rules, nor does it harm the interests of other salt lords. It is not difficult to take salt stones, just arrange a small number of salt farmers.

Shi Jin was righteous, and used Lin Sanguan's cash to settle the settlement, and he himself could explain to Chao Gai. In other words, this transaction is equivalent to opening up another financial road for Chao Gai in addition to the original road, and Chao Gai will not object.

What's more, I have said all the righteous words, people don't want salt now, as long as salt and stone, if this favor is not helped, gossip will inevitably spread on the rivers and lakes.

The world talks about fame, but the rivers and lakes are not. In order to maintain his reputation, he can even give up his life!

Lin Chong slowly stretched out his hand, the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed, and his palms trembled slightly.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

A few palms, slammed into one place......

……

All aspects of salt have finally been opened up one by one.

Wu Yong immediately wrote a note, released the carrier pigeon, and reported the good news to the young master Liu Mang. At the same time, he wrote the details into a letter and sent his companion as a fast horse to repay Liu Mang.

Here, Shi Jin and Wang Bodang have already discussed.

Transporting salt stone is much more troublesome than transporting salt, and it is difficult to ensure safety with the strength of Shi Jin. The two decided to work together to help Qin Qiong transport the salt stone to Pingyang.

The habit of selling salt in Chaogai and Shan Xiongxin is that "people don't know water", and under normal circumstances, salt is handed over on the south bank of Lianshui, and the salt barons themselves transport it to various places, and they are stolen and robbed on the way, so they don't ask.

Because of Qin Qiong's relationship, the two were willing to walk dozens of miles north and send them to Pingyang County.

Selling smuggled salt is a felony, Shi Jin and Wang Bodang are the leaders and salt lords, and from the perspective of Han law, they are criminals. Moreover, there are many enemies in the rivers and lakes, and if you are far away from your own territory, you will have to bear a lot of risks if you send dozens of miles more.

And they do it for nothing more than one word - righteousness!
