So Cheng Chumo thought of other things and asked: "Qingyang, it seems that it is illegal to sell salt without permission, and the laws of the Tang Dynasty are not allowed." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info don't commit crimes against the wind! ”

Bailiyun smiled: "I've thought of it a long time ago, don't worry, I'm not selling it directly, but in a different way, I sell pickles, salted meat, and salted fish." At that time, a separate shop will be opened in the food court of the West Market to sell similar pickled products. ”

Cheng Chumo asked, "Is it those canned ham and other things you ate last time?" ”

Bai Liyun affirmed: "That's right, it's similar to those things. ”

Cheng Chumo touched his head and grinned: "That's good, I'll buy some when I go back, and when I go to the army again, I'm not afraid of poor food!" ”

Bailiyun feigned anger and said, "What are you talking about? I still need to buy it, and besides, if your father agrees, you will have a share of it. ”

Cheng Chu laughed silently: "Hey, isn't that a slip of the tongue, don't take it seriously!" ”

Bai Liyun said with a smile: "It's just right, I just pickled some of it yesterday, and I will eat it at my house in the evening for a while, and I will taste everything. ”

Cheng Chumo was overjoyed and said, "Okay, then we will eat at your house today, taste it well, and you won't have to be forced to be a soldier in the future!" ”

Bai Liyun immediately said: "Of course you can, originally I also planned to sell these things to the army to make a fortune, if the soldier can't even eat well, then what kind of battle is there, the mutiny has already been defeated." ”

Cheng Yanjin, who was sitting on the side, looked solemn and said solemnly: "Qingyang, I shouldn't have said this, but I still have to ask." Do you really want to sell the salt yourself and make it in the snow? ”

Bai Liyun immediately understood, but he had his own ideas, so he said: "Of course, my own ability, the ability to make money, why should I give it to others." ”

Cheng Yanjin's face was a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you know how many people today are weakened and die because they have no salt to eat, and how many people take risks for the sake of salt?" ”

Bai Liyun looked at Cheng Yanjin, and said indifferently: "Uncle Cheng, I know what you said, and I also understand what you mean, it's nothing more than asking me to hand over the salt making method." Right! ”

Seeing this, Cheng Yanjin still nodded, although it was easy to destroy the friendship with him.

Cheng Chu silently saw that the atmosphere was gloomy, and he was in a hurry, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to pour wine vigorously, as if he was drunk.

Bailiyun looked at the sky and said indifferently: "But let me ask you, Uncle Cheng, before this, when the salt sellers in the Tang Dynasty, whether they were officials and merchants or smugglers, when they used it to make huge profits, why didn't you stop it, why didn't you ask them for the salt making method?" ”

Before Cheng Yanjin could answer, Bai Liyun continued to ask: "Let me tell you, because they are all big families with strong strength in their hands, and that is their own ancestral skills, you have no ability or position to ask others to come up with techniques." Then let me ask you, Uncle Cheng, what position do you have to say to me today? You know, just now, I was still worrying about the future of your Cheng family! ”

Cheng Yanjin's face was pale, and he felt a little guilty. But it's true, even if it's a messy demon king Cheng Biting Jin, he doesn't know what to say at this time.

Lao Cheng sighed and said: "Yes, just now you were still paving the way for the future of Chu Mo, what position can I have to say this to you, Ai, I'm sorry, Qingyang, the old man lost his words today!" ”

Bai Liyun stood up, put on a bathrobe, and looked at Lao Cheng and suddenly laughed.

Just when Lao Cheng secretly felt guilty, thinking that Bailiyun was unbalanced in his heart and wanted to be sarcastic, he heard Bailiyun's unexpected answer.

Bailiyun's eyes were different, facing the sun, and he turned his back to Cheng Yanjin and said: "Uncle Cheng, there is no need for this, I said that Brother Chu Mo and I are brothers, and you take good care of me." I won't blame you for saying this to me today, no matter what position you say to me today. ”

"I just want you to understand one thing, your thinking is too outdated."

Lao Cheng was very surprised, his eyes widened and he waited for the following.

Bailiyun said: "That's right, your thinking is too outdated, because you haven't seen one thing clearly because of the limitations of your status from beginning to end. ”

Cheng Yanjin asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Baili Yun said: "That is, you only saw the suffering of the lower class people, but you didn't think about why it was suffering. Is it just because of a lack of salt and food? No, absolutely not. Even if you are really tough and force one or two salt merchants to get their hands on the technology of making salt, the problem will still exist, and there will not be much change, that is, it will be useless and wasted! ”

Lao Cheng argued: "How is it possible, as long as you get the technology and get the salt, won't you be able to let the people below eat salt and eat?" How can it be useless? That's impossible! It's absolutely impossible, fallacy! ”

Bai Liyun sneered: "Fallacy? Let me tell you exactly what's going on! ”

"I'll put it aside, even if I tell you the method of making salt today, and you report it to the imperial court, the result will still be the same. This is the strange circle of high-ranking officials in the court, you are above the court, you have been climbing for many years, even if you are a military general, but this kind of truth should also be understood! Now you just haven't noticed! ”

Lao Cheng muttered, "Didn't notice? What, what, is it ......"

Lao Cheng suddenly said: "Strange circle, are you talking about that ......?"

"That's right, that's it! Looks like you've finally figured it out! ”

Bai Liyun looked at the tall walls of the imperial city that were clearly visible in the distance and explained, "Yes, this is it. The division of interests between officials and families in the court, and the question of the ownership of rights and interests. Whenever there is a new technology or a benefit, most officials, especially those from families, will try their best to occupy or divide the benefits for the family. ”

"In other words, even if I hand over the new salt making method, maybe there will be more salt, but the people at the bottom still can't see it, can't buy it, can't eat it. Because for their personal vested interests, in order to prevent the existing salt price from plummeting, they will definitely hoard and collect, even if they are soaked at home, they will not easily release it for others to use. ”

Bailiyun sighed and said: "It's like grain, put it on the bright side, in fact, Datang's current grain reserves are not low, but why are there still so many people who can't eat?" Because most of the grain is hoarded by the big families, in order to raise their food prices, for personal interests. The treasury is because the lower-level officials are greedy for ink and exploit at all levels, and when it comes to the hands of the victims, they may not even have a tenth of it, or even none at all. ”
