Su Ren and Hou Jian both knew that when they were talking, they had a lot of ears behind the wall.

Sending Hou Jian away, Su Ren closed the door and came back. Leng Jun, Huo Laosi and others were all in the hall. Everyone looked at Su Ren, and Su Ren said, "Did you hear it?" It's really about his oranges. ”

Leng Jun shook his head: "Hey! You people don't speak well, and those who listen are covered with clouds. ”

Su Ren smiled: "This is the art of speaking, you have lived in the mountains since you were a child, how can you understand this." ”

Huo Laosi said: "I just understand, it is true that those salt-making craftsmen did not come today, but the county lieutenant suddenly turned to the orange tree, what did he mean?" What does his orange tree have to do with us? ”

Su Ren no longer played dumb riddles, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, just say that our craftsmen were stopped by someone." ”

"Who?" Several people spoke in unison.

"Who else? You can think about it, we have already taken the piece of private salt, and who doesn't want us to sell salt? ”

"Liu Xiancheng!" Leng Yue was the first to react.

Su Ren smiled at Leng Yue, Leng Yue's face turned red all of a sudden, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

Su Ren said: "That's right, Guanyan was originally the only business of Liu Wen's family, and we want to rob him now, so naturally we don't want to, stopping the craftsman is also a warning to us, Liu Wen has no way to take Hou Jian, and there are many ways to deal with us." ”

"What a good thing that is! How can we cook salt without salt-making craftsmen! Huo Laosi became worried.

"Boiling salt is actually not a big deal, it's just a time to live, fourth brother, you go to the nearby village tomorrow to find some people, men, women and children, let them bring the pot at home, and tell them to give five yuan a month per person, Liu Wen wants to use this trick to block us, he is wrong, this earth will turn the same way without anyone."

"What Earth?" Leng Jun grabbed the beginning of a sentence. There were always fresh words in Su Ren's mouth, and Leng Jun was very fascinated by them.

Su Ren didn't explain: "Don't care about the earth, tomorrow will be cold and guard the house, the fourth brother will find someone, let's go into the mountains to cook salt immediately, Liu Wen wants to fight against us, then you can't blame me for having black hands." ”

The next day, Huo Laosi got up early in the morning. Now that autumn has begun, there is no work to be done in the fields, and the nearby villagers are idle. As soon as I heard that Lao Junguan was looking for someone and gave him five yuan every month, he was naturally eager to pay it back. They all brought their own pots and headed towards Lao Junguan. There were as many as two or three hundred men, women, old and young. Su Ren didn't refuse, even if it was a half-old child, he didn't mind. Take out all the grain stored in Lao Junguan, share a little for each person, and take people into the mountain.

Hawking is twelve years old this year, and when he saw that so many people were going into the mountain, he must follow, so Su Ren agreed.

Familiar roads, familiar forests. This is the third time Su Ren has come in, and every time he comes, he wants to see the cave he fell into, to see if there is a way back, but every time he can't do it.

I walked for two days and came to the brine spring. Su Ren divided the people into three groups, the young and strong ones were responsible for chopping wood, the women were responsible for making fires and boiling salt, and as for the half-grown children, Hawking was in charge of keeping guards. Although there are many of them this time, there are more wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the deep mountains and old forests that have not yet been developed, and I am not sure when one or two will suddenly appear. The money is small, and the dead Su Ren doesn't want to see it.

The women who boiled salt were also divided into two groups, the first group was coarse salt and the second group was refined salt. The filtering procedure in the middle, Su Ren didn't intend to fake it. Su Ren and Huo Laosi built a shack for themselves, filtered the brine that was boiled very thick with charcoal every day, and sent the filtered ones out to let the second group re-cook, so that they could get snow-white refined salt.

There are many people and great strength, and the work efficiency of hundreds of people is still very good, and it takes a month to get five or six thousand catties of refined salt. Fortunately, the brine spring had plenty of water, otherwise it would have dried up.

After the mighty crowd returned to Laojunguan, Su Ren didn't say a word, and asked Leng Yue to give each person five money. This month, Su Ren was almost tired and out of breath, he filtered the brine from morning to night every day, and he didn't have a chance to be lazy at all, so he went back to bed early. Those nearby neighbors held the money one by one and gave up their hands excitedly, and Leng Yue's image instantly turned into a female bodhisattva.

It's salt time again. The salt dealers tasted the sweetness, and the last time they received the salt, they took it off without going to a few places. If it weren't for the fact that Su Ren didn't have the stock in his hand, he would probably take it again for the second time.

Before dawn, the salt sellers were already knocking on the door. The last 100 catties of salt were recovered at the price of four cents per catty, and the next thing was to send salt.

Hawking led a few children he knew in the mountains, holding sticks in their hands to maintain order in a decent manner, and gave a few sticks to those who tried to cut in line. The beaten man still had a smile on his face and lined up again. Everything was presided over by Leng Yue and Huo Laosi, and Su Ren was very relieved. It took two days to finish distributing salt to everyone.

Huo Laosi was tired and sweating profusely, but his face was like eating bee feces, and he was busy telling jokes to the people who took salt.

"Hey, your kid is here too, isn't your territory in the city? Why are you here too? ”

"Okay, what about my fourth brother? Such a good salt, there is no worry about not being able to sell it, those coarse salts are also eaten by people, Mr. Huang can say, if I can't get these refined salts this time, I will never buy my salt again, this time you can give as much as you want, as long as you have it. ”

"Hahaha, you kid really dare to speak, aren't you afraid that Liu Xiancheng will trouble you?"

"This is official salt, not private salt, what can you do if you look for me?"

Su Ren lay under the tree, listening to the conversation of these people, and snorted coldly in his heart. Okay, you Liu Wen actually stumbled on me, okay, then let's see who is powerful.

Leng Yue was also very busy, she kept writing and drawing on the bamboo slips in her hands, and after writing one volume after another, she sat there all day, constantly listening to the flattery of those men, and she was very happy. Some of them were sharp-eyed, screaming one by one, which made Leng Yue's heart very useful, her face was red with shame, and she didn't dare to raise her head, but her subordinates wrote quickly.

A total of 5,324 catties of salt were issued, that is to say, at this time next month, there will be 21,296 yuan in the house that Lao Junguan specially vacated to hold money, excluding the 5,000 yuan for Hou Jian and the 5,000 yuan for ordinary things, and the balance is more than 10,000 yuan.

Su Ren calculated this number in three or two, and everyone almost fainted. No one has ever seen so much money.

"Again, how much money did we make this month?" The cold chest was heaving, and the panting was thick.

Su Ren looked at a few people and said with a smile: "Don't be so excited, there will be almost so much money every month in the future, only more, not less." ”

"10,000 yuan, how much food do we have to buy here, and a few of us can't eat it for ten years, right?" Huo Laosi walked around the room excitedly, and he couldn't figure out how much food he could buy after stretching his fingers for a long time.

Huo Qian hugged his daughter and cried like a tearful person, with tears on his face, but he was laughing.

Su Ren let out a sigh of relief, got up and patted his buttocks: "When the excitement is over, we have to work, fourth brother, let's go to the county tomorrow, use all the money to buy food, and stay up for another month, our good days are coming." ”

Huo Laosi nodded again and again, and agreed.

Su Ren's salt has just been put on the market, and the effect has not yet come out. Liu Wen must not have noticed Su Ren's fierce counterattack at this time. When I entered the grain store, the bad breath brother happened to be on duty. Seeing Su Ren, he sneered a few times: "What? Buying food again? Do you have to get credit today? ”

Su Ren ignored him and poured the money in the cloth bag to the ground: "Count, after counting, the rice will be released, this time you won't be looking for Liu Xiancheng again, right?" ”

Brother Bad Breath smiled disdainfully: "No, my master said that as long as Lao Junguan has money, he can sell as much rice and grain as he wants." With a wave of his hand, a few people came over to count the money, and the bad breath brother said: "Count carefully, these are the cubs under Su Gongzi's money, and they can't let the family suffer, hahahaha......"

I have nothing to say with this kind of doglegs. Su Ren ignored him either. This time, Su Ren took out all the money of Lao Junguan, a total of five hundred yuan, which can buy ten stone of grain. Sitting in front of the grain and rice store, watching the people coming and going on the street, waiting for the rice to come out. Not far from the opposite is Liu Wen's salt shop. Unlike the last time I came, there were not many people today.

Su Ren smiled secretly in his heart, not knowing if Liu Wen would be in pain next month. It seems that it is necessary to talk to Hou Jian, otherwise when Liu Wen really does something, it will be difficult for his own people to deal with it.

Let Huo Laosi drive the ox cart back first. Su Ren left the city and turned to the barracks. Because of Hou Jian's relationship, the soldiers at the door were very polite to Su Ren. As soon as Su Ren reported his name, someone immediately flew to the Hou Mansion to report the news. When Su Ren came to the Hou Mansion, the old man with a dead face was standing outside the door.

This time Su Ren didn't wait, Hou Jian was in the living room. Seeing Su Ren, Hou Jian laughed: "Su Gongzi is really powerful, yesterday's salt was better than last month, it seems that my oranges were sold at a good price." ”

Su Ren nodded: "Don't worry, just wait for the payment to be recovered, and the captain's share will definitely be delivered." ”

Hou Jian smiled: "It's good to say, you and I are brothers, don't talk about these mundane things today, wait for four, prepare for the banquet, I want to have a good time with Su Gongzi." ”

The dead-faced old man agreed, turned around and went out to prepare.

The banquet of the Han Dynasty was simple and practical, with large pieces of meat and large pots of wine being the protagonists of the whole banquet. It turned out to be beef, which made Su Ren a little surprised. Ploughing cattle is a thing that is forbidden and cannot be killed, this Hou Jian actually knows the law and violates the law, it seems that this remote place is really high and the emperor is far away, and no one can control it.

The Bronze Lord is very uncomfortable drinking, and this wine is light and tasteless, not even as good as the beer of later generations. After drinking two jukes, Su Ren put down the wine jue and arched his hand: "Last time, I was reminded by the captain, I am grateful, and I have something to ask for now, and I ask the captain to help us a lot, which can be regarded as contributing to our ......business." ”

"Hahaha!" Without waiting for Su Ren to finish speaking, Hou Jian hurriedly interrupted: "Drinking, I only drink today and don't talk about business." ”
