Chapter 238: Salt linen
Zhao Pu and Wang Yaoshi can be said to have talked late at night, and when a black curtain was hung with stars and thrown into the sky, Zhao Pu could be regarded as finished. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The slave who was guarding the door leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, and Jun Ge'er looked like he was angry, falling on a weeping willow that had withered and yellowed, and the two didn't know how long they guarded it before the door creaked open.
Zhao Pu walked out slowly, his expression looking a little uncertain.
Zhao Pu's status in the Wei family is not high, and most of them currently rely on Wei Yuxuan's admiration and Yongxing Junjie's strength.
Presumably, this Wang Yaoshi had heard all the way how Zhao Pu dared to fight against the Yongxing Army's gang of ruffians marching at night, so he praised Zhao Pu for having a bit of integrity.
After Zhao Pu went out, there were still some people from the Wang family who followed, walking alone in front, Jun Ge'er and Yu Nu followed closely, and the three masters and servants walked slowly, without saying anything for a while.
When he was a little farther away, he asked in a low voice, "Young master, what did the old man surnamed Wang tell you?" ”
Yu Nu was his confidant, Zhao Pu never hid it from him, and he was far away at this time, so Zhao Pu simply whispered, "He has a batch of goods to pass through the territory of the Yongxing Army, I'm afraid it's a little tricky, let me help get it." ”
"What?" Brother Jun asked quickly.
Zhao Pu looked at Brother Jun'er, his face was dark, "A batch of linen." ”
"What was I then? What's so powerful about a batch of linen? Why can't it be shipped? Brother Jun spoke a little more aggressively.
The slave who hadn't been seen for a long time still looked deep, faintly, "Well, this is a little difficult." ”
"I don't understand." Brother Jun looked at the sad faces of the two of them, and suddenly asked, "What's so rare about the sackcloth?" Why can't it be shipped? ”
"In the Tang Dynasty, there were some stories about this, I heard that the linen cloth was soaked in salt water to smuggle smuggled salt, and this matter was to be investigated by the government, which is not trivial."
Although Zhao Pu is not a person from the dynasty, he has also seen such a story, when Wang Yaoshi told Zhao Pu this request, he was the first to think of the problem of soaking private salt on the linen, and saw that the slave was the same as what he thought, and suddenly felt that this matter was afraid that this was going to be the case.
"Hmm......" The slave didn't speak at first, but looked silent, and when he frowned, he only felt that the honest face on his face had all turned into countless sorrows. If transporting linen cloth is still a trivial matter for the current young master, if it is mentioned to transport smuggled salt, it is really a capital crime. ”
When today's hegemony with salt and iron, Yelu Deguang of the Khitan has already occupied the Central Plains and directly taken Kaifeng, then there is nothing around him that can stop his power.
In this way, it is the world of the Khitan people, and some people dare to smuggle salt and iron under the noses of the Khitans, which is really fatal.
Zhao Pu's gaze was very low, but Brother Jun was on the side, "Didn't the old man Wang say that he was transporting linen?" What are you doing out of nowhere? ”
"As the saying goes, business is business." Zhao Pu shook his head, "Wang Yaoshi said, as long as you can transport that burlap over, it will cost you how much money you want." ”
Brother Jun frowned, but Zhao Pu's mouth kung fu was even better, "Have you seen the silk and satin of the rich and noble, have you ever seen that there is such a rare treatment of linen?" ”
When Zhao Pu said this, Brother Jun also had no idea, so he only got it, "So...... Why don't I force them through? ”
The slave immediately scolded, "Don't come nonsense, I don't know how much salt and linen Wang Yaoshi has in his hands now, it is more than enough for you to fight dozens of miscellaneous soldiers alone, and it is completely okay to fight hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers, if there are thousands of elite horsemen who are good at shooting, and deal with you alone at any cost, you can still have the ability to escape?" ”
Listening to the slave's fierce scolding, Brother Jun suddenly lost his temper, looking like a child who was caught for playing, but he just pulled his sleeves with both hands, helpless, "Then what do you say?" ”
Yu Nu didn't speak, and looked up at Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu sighed lightly, "This thing is too difficult, but you have to try it, besides, where does he use these private salts, he is really not an ordinary person." If you do it well at this time, it will be of great benefit, and you may not be sure. ”
"Since the young master knows it in his heart, it couldn't be better." The slave said in a low voice, "If there is any accident, please take care of yourself as the young master." ”
"This is natural." Zhao Pu responded in a low voice.
The three of them talked all the way, and there were a few sporadic ones on the road, but as long as someone passed by, the slave felt it early in the morning, and Zhao Pu didn't let him go down.
This kind of work is there, although I don't dare to speak loudly, but I can also ensure that no one can eavesdrop.
Zhao Pu and the three of them walked all the way to their home, and it was already the middle of the night.
When the simple washing and washing climbed up to the collapse of a noble concubine, Wei Yuxuan seemed to be awakened, and a pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Zhao Pu's body.
"My husband is tired all day long, and he still works hard after all."
Zhao Pu nodded and sighed lightly, "The power of these eighteen families of the Wei family is intertwined, which really makes me a little unbearable. ”
"If you can't bear it, you won't eat it, as long as you have a husband, you can avenge my brother, Xuan'er doesn't care about these things."
"What stupid things are you talking about?" Zhao Pu shook his head, "I'm still being chased and killed by the Lu family in the northern granary, if it weren't for the protection of the three big trees of the Wang family and the Cui family and the Ge family, I'm afraid that in the near future, we will become the souls of those dead soldiers in the rivers and lakes." Besides, we don't even have half a chance to keep Wei Pan. ”
Zhao Pu said, he couldn't help but think of the white and chubby little nephew Wei Pan, and felt pity for a while, this little guy was round and round, and he looked blessed at first glance, and he couldn't let him die so early.
"It seems that my husband also likes children?" Wei Yuxuan blinked, her face flushed and she was a little embarrassed after all, "The ancients had clouds, and there were three unfilial pieties, and no queen was great." Normally, a woman who has not given birth to an heir for three years should have been expelled from her home. My husband loves me and pities me, and he treats me differently. ”
Zhao Pu knew that he was no longer by Wei Yuxuan's side all these years, and he couldn't stand her after all.
"But I also want a baby as cute as Pan'er, poor father and mother are already at this age, and they haven't seen their eldest grandson, which is too bleak." Wei Yuxuan finally said it.
Zhao Pu nodded and smiled, "What's so difficult about this?" ”
The two looked at each other silently, just waiting for the next day's dawn. (To be continued.) )
